Sorry, I'm brand new to the forums and they confuse me, so I hope this is somewhat the right section to be posting on.
I know nothing about making apps and need help with something. In a nutshell, I just got a new car (Escape) and I has the Sync 3 system in it and it sucks, reeeeeeaaaalllly bad. It is IMPOSSIBLE to watch videos on it. There is at least a 2000ms audio delay.
I have done a lot of troubleshooting (I'm actually an audio engineer) and I have narrowed it down to the problem being the Sync 3 system.
I need someone to make me a very simple app that can introduce and take away audio latency. Say give or take 5000ms in either direction, so I can compensate. Ford has no intention of updating their Sync 3 system to correct the sync problem.
Is this possible? I will make a donation to a paypal for the work needed (If any).
I have searched quite a bit for an app that can do something so simple and I can't believe that I haven't found one at all. I have had zero luck finding one.
Thanks.

Hello.
I believe you need a simple android program that can view video and synchronize audio with video. MX Player is one of the most used video apps that has the feature you asked. See attachment. It can make audio to go over or before video, from 0.01 seconds up to infinity, with 0.01 second accuracy. It is available both free and paid in playstore.
If I understood you wrong, then please post in Q&A forum (questions and answers), here. You will have more chance to get a response there.
Good luck

Is there a way to make it so when I am using my bluetooth headphones with the remote when I skip a song or hit play or stop the screen on my device does not come on and media player does not pop up? This is especial annoying as I listen to music almost constantly. Thank you for any help I have googled this issue and found no solution.
You should do a little more research!
This was answered very recently in another thread.
Where
I have searched if it was answered in another thread I can not find it. Please provide a link. It is arrogant to point out another persons ignorance and not show them how to fix it. Not to mention rude.
Also if you are referring to the two posts saying to use Mortplayer that is not an option as I use SPB Mobile shell.

So you took the time to point that out without pointing the person in the right direction.
I hope next time you need help and can't find your answer someone tells you to GTFO and find it yourself.
Are you sure?

I still want to use windows media player I just do not want it to turn on screen or bring it to the front when I use the remote. This completely removes media player control.

I am interested in this fix as well. I am using a SENSE build -- The Standard builds seem to have these controls working correctly with the touch flo music interface...but I am not willing to go back to the regular touch flo when the Sense touch flo build has so much more to offer!
So I've been having this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702047 and after posting in give different forums I ve given up.
At this point, Im simply looking for a way to get my album art and track information on my car's display, whether it requires root, bluetooth, USB, no bluetooth, whatever. I just need a way to get it done.
Here is what I thought of:
Option 1:
The linux bluetooth stack for android (Bluez) now supports AVRCP 1.3 but my EVO LTE still does not..there is something wrong with that picture. How do I make this happen? I have a Prius with a head unit that supports AVRCP 1.3 and i need to see my track data on my head units screen. I know one solution is switching to Cyanogen Mod which has already updated to AVRCP 1.3, but is there a way to simply upgrade the bluetooth stack without rooting and going to Cyanogen?
Or if I must root, exactly what ROM should I use other than Cyanogen? Isnt there any sense based ROMs that have the added ability of AVRCP 1.3?
Option 2: My car, in a way, does work with Media Sync USB option. Like I explained in the thread linked above, it detects the songs but completely unorganized, and as of recently, it doesnt detect them at all. I keep getting this media file titled "join hangout" and "facebook pop" which are 3 second files each. It seems like they belong to some app or function in my phone. Why does my car keep finding that? Isnt there a way to trick it into finding the songs?
Im getting pretty desperate at this point. I ve researched extensively for weeks how to manipulate MTP metadata, upgrade bluetooth stacks, manipulate disk drive option on EVO LTE, but I ve found nothing. At all. Please help me. Id truly appreciate it.
Im usually not the type to bump, but I ve been posting in 4 to 5 different forums and out of all of them. this is the one forum where I am hoping for the most creative, knowledgeable answer..since you know, developer's forum and all. Hoopefully someone can chime in. I didnt realize how quickly threads got pushed to the second page, very active forum.
I think CM will be your only option. As I understand it, HTC locked down the bluetooth in sense which makes it impossible (or very difficult) for AVRCP 1.3 to be be ported to a sense rom.

So, I was told CM is not yet ready for EVO LTE. Is this true? Also, do you know if rooting voids best buy's black tie thing?

It doesnt have an official build, and there are still some issues, but it looks close to being a daily driver. If you check out the thread, you can find out specifically whats still not working. And you can always unroot and go back to stock with the ruu for bb.
if your going to use the media sync portion do you have your music in folders per artist or just all thrown in one folder, try separating them by artist and album, most apps read them that way

My music is automatically organized by itunes, which does it as such:
Music => Band Name => Album name(s) => Songs.
Hi, Wizards:
I have a Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 running Overcome 3.3.1. On occasion, when all else seems quiet, the device will suddenly decide to play the /system/media/audio/notifications/12_Tweeters.ogg sound file (sounds something like a bird chirp), and I would like to find the application that causes this sound file to be played. I ran the Log Collector app (v1.1.0) and poured through its output, and that is how I determined which file is being played,
In the latest instance, the log shows:
09-06 08:40:24.230 I/MediaPlayer( 306): The actual path is:/system/media/audio/notifications/12_Tweeters.ogg.
Before that, I can see references to (306) like "KeyguardViewMediator" in the same second. In fact, there are hundreds of references to 306 within parentheses in the log, mostly involving Sensors and PowerManagerService BatteryService. But I don't see a way to trace back to the originator. (Frankly, I also don't have any indication that the '306' is important.)
How would I go about finding the reason that MediaPlayer was kicked off in the first place? (My goal is to find the application that suddenly decides to play this sound file, and to understand why it does so. After all, I'm being notified of something, right? Wouldn't it be swell to understand the reason for the notification, instead of just "Hey!" ?)
I've searched for general information on how to figure out what the Log is trying to tell me, but to no avail for something like this. Is there enough information in the typical Log Collector output to determine this information? If so, where can I read up on how to trace this? If not, then what might I do to trap/identify this?
I appreciate any pointers you may have on this.

Log Collector should give you enough information to solve the problem. I suppose one simple and quick solution you could try is go into /system/media/audio/notifications/12_Tweeters.ogg and just delete the file. If you delete the file, then when it wants to play that sound it won't be able to because it doesn't exist, and then it shouldn't bother you anymore.

That's encouraging. Sorry I wasn't clear. Where might I find out how to read the log in such a way?

Hmmm... to me, that sounds like "If the fire alarm bothers you, just remove the battery." I do appreciate your reply, but that doesn't that sound to me like a good idea since I don't know the cause... I do welcome advice regarding figuring out that cause.
I had a problem with audios starting to play randomly. Googling led to many possible causes.
The only one I remember is the fix that worked for me - simply installing and running once a program available free from the market called DisableAutoPlay.
It disables the feature where plugging headphones in causes auto-playing. Mind you I wasn't doing anything with headphones when my music started randomly, but apparently there can be some intermittent hardware malfunction that makes the phone think you are plugging headphones in (perhaps limited to Samsung phones like mine IIRC... I have an Infuse).

Thanks. I will keep that in mind if the time comes that I need to take such action.
I'm sorry I'm apparently expressing my intent so poorly. My goal, to be clear, is to find out WHY the alarm is sounding, not to prevent it. (I reserve the right to want to prevent it in the future, but right now the point remains.)
I will try to track down the author(s) of Log Collector and see where that leads me. If I find out anything useful, I will post back here.

Upgraded to task's ICS a few weeks ago. Could have sworn Media Hub was on there when I first installed it. Then it seems about a week ago that I was missing an app because the others were not in the same place they used to be, as if I hadn't deleted an app and everything moved over one spot. Problem is, I don't remember deleting anything. Granted, I'm not always SOBER when I'm using my Tab so I guess it's possible. All I can find through search is that you needed to be updated to ICS in order to use Media Hub after that. I was already on ICS so I don't understand what happened? Could Samsung or Google have had it removed from my Tab somehow? Any help would be appreciated, Samsung live chat is of NO help. Shocker.
And according to Samsung, the "Samsung Media Hub" app is not a "Samsung" app, I need to contact the developer! lol Their only solution is to reset my tab. Yeah right.
Gotta love customer service these days. Thought I'd share this clip from Samsung live chat.
Tony: I just find it weird to have an app that is preloaded, yet you can't delete it, and you can't download it either.
Parkin: I understand your concern. I have documented your issue and we will get back to you with proper resolution. Please make a note of the ticket number ************
Parkin: Just to inform you, a preloaded app need not be downloaded as it is already available in the tab..
Tony: So why have the app in the Google Play Store, if nobody can download it?
Parkin: That is meant for people who don't have it preloaded.
Tony: why would someone not have it preloaded, if it comes preloaded?
Tony: because you certainly can't delete it
Parkin: I understand your confusion. But one of our supervisors would be able to clarify any further questions you have. Please mention the ticket ID given above when we contact you.
Tony: You seem to be the confused one because you have no answer.
Parkin: I'm truly sorry I couldn't help you with this issue. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Tony: nope
Ahhhhhh.... I really hope someone can be able to help me with this. Fingers crossed!
I've been searching the web for a couple of days, without finding any real solution to the problem. From September 2011, Google Maps decided to lump together its volume control with media apps, that used to be separated. I found a huge thread on googleproducts forums, titled "Why is the Google Navigator Volume No Longer Separate - But Now Linked with Media Volume?" where I see that things have never changed, nor Google acknowledged this being a problem.
Now, at the beginning I was confident that a simple solution existed for a rooted phone (Note 3 9005 for me) but, alas, I can't seem to find anything. Am I missing something?
Thank you.
PS
Not able to link the discussion mentioned above, too few messages for me, still.
I suppose there could be two ways to handle this. One would be to have a "per app" volume setting, through some clever Xposed module. The other a "simpler" (don't have a clue) hack on Google Maps itself. I just find strange that there's so little "literature" around, regarding this, as it's a really annoying problem, once it manifests itself in the car.
