Hello,
I have identified a problem with my phones media configuration. I use Tasker with the Media Utilities app to automate some of my Spotify music tasks. In particular identifying when I am playing music and when I am not (something Media Utilities has a built in ability to do.
I wanted more functionality from my one button headset so I installed Jays Headset Control app. It allowed me to generate play. next, previous, volume etc features to multiple clicks of the headset button. However, since enabling Jays the Media Utilities app appears not to work properly any more - it can no longer detect when I am playing music. Disabling jays fixes the problem.
I tried using Headset Droid instead to see if it was something Jays was doing or something Media Utilities is doing and it results in the same loss of functionality. I can only assume it is therefore to do with Media Utilities.
Can anyone advise on how to investigate further or implement a fix. I tried asking the developer but they never responded.
Thanks
Andy

Among all it's great uses I'm using my Gtab as an MP3 player plugged into my trucks stereo. I have an MP3 player but promised it to my wife when I got the Gtab . The problem I'm having is that it's rather awkward to pause or skip tracks on the tablet while driving. I've been hunting for a small remote or steering wheel mounted remote connected through bluetooth or at this point, any connection. All I can seem to find are care MP3 players that come with remotes.
Does a universal Remote for mp3 players exist? Is there another option for limited remote control of the Gtab?
CyanogenMod has the option of using the volume keys to skip songs. You'll have to set it up to not wake up by pushing the volume keys. I don't think there is an easy way to get it to pause though, other than disconnecting the cable. Oh, and there are apps that you can get that detect when headphones are plugged in and automatically start the music app and hit play. Combining those should work for you without any extra gear.
haha, or the post right next to you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045590
I listen to alot of podcasts (using either BeyondPod or Pocket Casts), and would like to control playback using headset remote controls - e.g. the play/pause button on a Sony MW-600 bluetooth remote, or the same on a Klipsch S4A headset. The problem is that headset controls like these usually fire up the default media player (PlayerPro in my case), rather than controlling the Podcast player (e.g. BeyondPod).
I could theoretically configure BeyondPod to use the standard Android media player instead of its built-in media player, but then I would lose the enormous benefit of it remembering where I left off when I pause a Podcast at the end of a journey.
Has anyone here worked out a good way of controlling a Podcast player using a headset remote?
Doesn't have PlayerPro an option to disable headset interaction?
In PowerAMP for example you can toggle if you want to handle handset commands or not, giving the chance to be handled by another app.

Yes I've discovered the option in PlayerPro to disable the headset control. Now I can control the volume using the headset controls in BeyondPod, but none of the other buttons are functional (on either the Sony MW-600 or the Klipsch S4A).
Has anyone here managed to get headset playback controls with BeyondPod?
Disconnecting audio controls from default music app
Hi,
I use my bluetooth headset mostly for listening to Audible and Google Listen.
Media controls automatically invoke default music player, and control it. Only volume controls work in other players.
Is there a way to associate a different player with the bluetooth media controls (stop/start/skip)?
I am using hydrog3n ICS on a Galaxy Sii, but I believe this is a generic issue.
Hi.
Since I love to play multiple mp3s simultaneously, I was wondering if there is a good way to manage multiple audio sources on android.
Often I like to listen to an audiobook, while listening to music, but this only works really nicely if you can control the volume independently
for multiple applications. Then you can set the music to a lower volume, so it doesn't interfere too much with listening to the audiobook.
I've explored various players and so far I like BSplayer and jetAudioBasic in particular. However, they don't seem able to set the volume
independently from each other and both seem only able to control the main volume that can also be adjusted with the volume buttons on
the side of the phone.
I have a htc one x + and I'd love to hear from other people who have found a solution to this issue of somehow managing multiple apps
that play audio with an independent volume level for each of those apps.
I'd also like to hear about audio playback apps (both free and paid) that might have an option in the settings that toggles whether the
app has a separate independent volume level control.
Or perhaps there are even audio playback apps on android that allow for multiple instances to be run simultaneously (like you can run
multiple instances of winamp on the PC).
thanks in advance for any feedback and kind regards, Niek
I'm just starting out with app development and looking to try making a simple music control program. Problem is I can't seem to find the APIs associated with sending play/pause next, last, etc. commands to the active music app. Is using the Bluetooth stack controls appropriate/possible?
So I've been looking for a fix for this issue for some time now, with little luck
Back in the younger versions of Android, Media and System volumes were separate, and music was considered media, while navigation turn by turn was under the system.
Since (I believe) Jellybean, Maps and media have merged.
When I plug my phone into my car's stereo using the headphone jack to stream music, If I want to turn up the music volume, when a navigation prompt comes on, the music drops behind (which is fine), but I have to leap to the volume knob to twist it all the way down.
Are there any fixes to this? Xposed Modules, workarounds, apps? I'd even be ok routing my GPS to my bluetooth headset while it leaves the music untouched, but preferrably I'd just like to be able to find a solution that lets me alter the volume of the GPS, to independently reduce it.
This persists over all my devices, ROMs, etc.
Thanks in advance
