Anyway to set a sleep timer for my bluetooth device?

I like to sleep with bluetooth headphones on, but I don't want the music to keep playing and my headphones to run out of battery life every night when I fall asleep. Is there any possible way to set a timer on my phone to shut off my headphones and stop playing music?
I've seen some 3rd party music players have a sleep timer for their music, but I'm not sure it will shut off my headphones. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Sleep Timer

Hi guys,
love my Leo the longer I have it.
Just one question: has anybody been able to find a sleep timer for Leo? I always fall asleep listening to music or audio book played with the built-in (music tab) player. On my HD, I used PHM Sleep Timer, ticked the option to suspend the device after timeout, it worked like a charm. Unfortunatelly, this doesn't seem to be working on Leo. I suspect the problem is that the sleep timer switches off the screen. The HD hibernated, music stopped, but Leo can play music also with screen off..
Anybody knows about a software or utility that would be able to stop playing the music by hibernating the device? I know that there are music players with built-in sleep timers but I like the music tab player and don't want to install another player if I can avoid it.
Any suggestions welcome

No suggestions?

Don't know a software that fits your needs yet. But how about quickly putting together a custom playlist before going to sleep? That's what I've done for quite some time even on my far "simpler" device like the N82. Want it to end playing in an hour or so? Just put in songs/audiobooktracks worth an hour and there you go.

[Q] music player that pause when notification goes off

is there a music player out there that doesnt pause while using headphones when a sms/mms/email or when the notification goes off? i had this feature when i had my nexus one with cyanogen froyo last year. i had music player by social soft installed and it didnt pause when my notification went off, it would just ring thru while listing to music. if there isnt a player that does this, can someone make a player that does or a way to disable this little frustrating bug? i know can avoid by setting my notifications to silent but i dont want that. someone please all of us that hate this

I'm confused - do you want a player that STOPS when a notification goes off or one that AUTO RESUMES after a notification is received?
IIRC - Poweramp (my player of choice) auto resumes after a notification, so try that.

[Q] Google Music

1. Sometimes while playing music that is even cache'd to the phone it will stop after every song and I have to turn the screen on for it to advance, is that normal?
2. Is there anyway of getting lock screen controls for it?
Thanks in advance

No, it's not. Do you have underclocking profiles for when the screen is off? If so, having it set too low interferes with playing music; bump it up a little. If not, try clearing the application data (settings > manage applications > [find the app] > clear data).
As far as I know, the only way to get lock screen controls is if you use a third party lockscreen (Widgetlocker; others may work too, idk) and install Phantom Music Control.

Yea I found out it was juice defender turning my data off with screen off.

Crap still does not go to next track with screen off even on wifi or with data on

What player are you using? Some don't stay on. Try DoubleTwist.

Just the Google Music app, poweramp works fine. But I'd rather stream than load my sd card

Bump, does anyone else use Google Music? It keeps sometimes auto advancing the music and others it won't play the next song in the album unless I turn the screen on after the previous track ends. This is with Data always on or not so it's not that. I wish PowerAmp could not just see the Pinned for offline but also read the meta-data

Yes sometime it will play 20 seconds then jump to next song..

I'm having the same problem with Google Music - music stops playing after each song and resumes when I press the power button. I had this problem unrooted and rooted. I don't know if it only happens with Google Music because that's the only music app I use. Might switch over to the stock music app for a while and see if that's any better.

It's just the Google Music app, poweramp works fine or other apps.

I've been having this problem for months now, and it seems there's no interest in fixing it. It's not just your phone, either--I'm on a T-mo version of this phone and it happens on any rom, rooted or not, and I despise the built-in music app.

I'm glad I'm not the only one and going crazy haha, hopefully google will get the Google Music app updated quickly or allow 3rd party apps to access the streams

[APP] SleepTimer - Simple, Beautiful, Powerful

I should have posted my app in here a long time ago. But I guess it is never too late to post it and hope for some good feedback on how to improve the app even further.
What does SleepTimer do:
It simply gives you a way of stopping your music after x minutes. Set it, and listen to music (or a video) in the evening without having to worry about the music running at 3am and waking you up from your sleep. SleepTimer lets you even do more like turning off wifi and/or mobile data after it turned off the music so you do not get interrupted by those annoying WhatsApp messages .
Scenarios
1. Turning off music after falling asleep
2. Turning off remote music like iTunes Remote, YouTube over ChromeCast, ... (needs some configuration)
3. Like fall asleep while talking with your love but hate high phone bills? Let SleepTimer stop the phone call (needs some configuration)
For most use cases SleepTimer just works. Open it up, set time, start. Done. And it even looks nice (at least I think so).
Only like 6% of the apps need some additional configuration to make them work.
More details (only for those who want to know/read more)
The app uses many different techniques to turn off the music. Audio controls, audio foreground, and even notifications since the newest version. Sadly there are some really bad music players out there that do not support any way of stopping their music except for opening the app and using the stop button in there. In such cases there is only the way of lowering the volume (which I hate ). I hope those developers get to work and implement a proper Music Player. Luckily most apps work though.
About notifications (new since October 2014)
This I am actually pretty proud about and took me a while to implement. And it gives us two new features.
1. Stop music using the notification
So if they have a pause/stop/close control in the notifcation, one can add a custom action in settings, select the app and click on the button in the notification that stops the music. SleepTimer will then use that button in the notification to stop the music. That allows more ways to stop an app and allows to stop apps like iTunes Remote, YouTube with ChromeCast, ...
2. Wait until the end of a track
If enabled, SleepTimer will not turn off the music immediately but wait until the track ends. This is done using the text content of the notification. As soon as the text in a notification changes SleepTimer knows that the track is changing and it will send a stop request immediately. (As well it ignores numbers like 3:12 which is obviously not track information but time information)
Shake extend
If enabled, you can extend the timer by shaking your phone. So you can set some quiet chime to run one minute before the timer runs out. If you can still hear it then just shake to phone to extend the timer.
Root
One can enable root in advanced settings to have even more options when the timer ends. For example turning off the phone or turning on airplane mode.
I hope you do like the app. If not, let me know why. If you have any recommendations or questions, please just ask. As well any ideas how to improve the app further are welcome.
Cheers,
Patrick

Does it support all music & video players? Or only stock players?

It supports a lot of music and video players. Basically all of them that support the events of Android that good Audio Player apps should support according to Google Many players I tested (Stock, Google Play Music, TuneIn, Spotify, YouTube, ...) worked. And even if they don't work by default, try out adding a custom action in settings in on sleep actions.

Is is possible to turn off the device after x minutes?

Yes it is. But only if you have a rooted phone. If you do, then enable root in the advanced settings and then go into the On Sleep Actions settings where you will find the turn off phone option .

I think it would be great idea to add some notification with countdown(few seconds), before phone shutting down.

This is a really neat app! All the other sleep timers I tried didn't feature root options like airplane mode etc. Thanks a lot!
Just a little request: Could you add a screen off option as well? I mean sure, the device will turn off the display afterwards by itself, but I thought it might be useful.

Continuous sleep mode
Hi
I would like to know if the app can be configured so that if I fall asleep with earphones on and wake up and press the play/stop button on the earphones, theaudio I was listening to continues, but is automatically in sleep countdown mode without having to start Sleep Timer again.
This is the way the sleep mode in Smart Audiobooks works and it is very nice.
Thanks.
