Vibration with music beats

hi... do you all think its possible if the phone (any windows mobile 5.0 device) vibrates with the beats when we play a mp3 or audio file on the device? can any program be written for it such that with every audio bass output the phone vibrates simaltaneously so that it gives a nice effect ? just an idea

i dont know how phones vibrate these days but last time i checked it was achieved by runnning a very small motor with an off-balance weight to make the vibration.
If thats the same method that they use today then it would probably drain your battery life after an hour of music playing.
Im sure its possible, just probably not wise

i know one of m friends 'candy bar' phones vibrated tot he beat when it rang. that's what I thought of when I first read the post. anyway think that mgiht be possible? it would be a weird program. cause i dont see how t would know the beat.

I've had a bit of experience with making polyphonic MIDI ringtones.
Nokia phones supported a special function for having the phone vibrate in sync with the ringtone. Essentially, the vibration was just like another instrument in the MIDI file. It had its own channel and responded to a certain note event; essentially, the phone "played" the vibration just as it did the rest of the "real" instruments.
In order for this to work, the ringtone had to be a properly-formatted Scalable Polyphony MIDI (SP-MIDI file), and the author had to have actually created a vibration track for the song.
As far as I know, our Windows Mobile devices don't support this format. They do support MIDI files, but not SP-MIDI. As SP-MIDI is somewhat backwards compatible with MIDI (it's really just an extension), the melodic instruments would play. However, the vibration track may be ignored, or it may even be rendered as a normal instrument depending on how it interprets the file's initialization messages (really nothing more than System Exclusive messages).

Well, certainly using the MIDI way would be much easier and, file smaller in size. However, still, theoretically, it is possible with any music format, depending on the implementation. E.g. If you would like to have the ring tone to be vibrating with the deep base, you would just get the signal, do a FFT, and get the sound spectrum (those things you get from a graphical equalizer withs bars jumping around?). If you were to use your PC's WMP, you can get the sound spectrum by choosing the visualization to 'bar' (I think). Bars at one of the ends (usually the left) reflects the base sounds. If there could be a vibrate-controlling-mech that reads these bars, you can switch the vibrating on/off if these bars exceed a certain height.

Possible rom changes????

hi noob here and just wanted to throw this out there.
I haven't got s-Off yet, but looking forward to installing custom roms when I can. I have a few things That can be improved as htc have missed them. So hopefully those guys into making changes come across this and make the changes.
Music widget: Doesn't update album art with currently playing song until you stop on the widget and allow it to update, can this be made instantaneous ? Also, multiple album art within album list is a bit much, I think a standard list with track time would b much better.
Message tone: cannot be changed without a third party app, also when on a call of the tone is longer than 1-2
seconds it will play in your ear for the full duration with no way to stop it, and you cannot hear the caller either. When there are headphone's attached, notification tones play through the loudspeaker, when all sound should be diverted to headphones.
Bluetooth: I use wireless headphones, I'm having quality issues when I move away from the handset, it seems htc have crippled the wireless features when it comes to this version of software. Also is there anyway to get the sound enhancer to work with bluetooth headphones?
Files: Cannot access sd card from the phone to see all files, have to connect to pc.
Call history: All calls incoming, received and missed show up multiple times for same contact. Then you also have the history button to the right of the contact which then shows all details incoming, outgoing, missed, time stamps, date. Can this be changed to just one icon per caller/contact. (hope this one made sense, was a bit hard to explain with out being confusing)
Well this is all that I have noticed so far and hope that it wont be too much trouble to change, would love to see the phone as its supposed to be, even if htc seem to have no idea right now, I would seriously love to slap there design team. especially for the WiFi issues they are really bad with my device, so pissed after getting rid of the motorola milestone 2 which was an epic fail, and now htc also has bugs!
Has anyone else noticed anything that could be changed for the better??? Add it here and lets see if the developers can change it all to have an awesome handset!
Fabz...

AirPods - Ear detection possible?

I just got AirPods for my OnePlus One and while everything has been great, the only thing missing is pause/resume when taking them out of your ears. I've read conflicting reports about that feature working on Android, thus was wondering if any other 1+1 user has them?
Here is my experience so far:
- The microphone works in some apps, but not all, and not always.
- Pairing is like any other bluetooth earphone, BUT, you can also pair them to your Apple stuff and switching between Android/Apple is super easy (no need to re-pair)
- They turn on / connect as soon as you remove one bud from the case, which is super nice. This does not start playback so you don't have to hurry and put them in your ears.
- Listening to only one works (with the other in the case). Sometimes there will be a bug where the remaining bud will not register 2x taps to pause, but that does not happen often.
- 2x tap = pause/resume, even if you set it to Siri on Apple.
- 2x tap works 95% of the time (5% it doesn't register). That is true on Apple stuff as well though.
- Removing buds / putting them back does NOT pause/resume, at least not on my Android 6 OnePlus One.
- You can pair them to an Apple device once, then you can always connect them to that apple device from the airplay button or the control center thing.
- If you do that, it will auto-disconnect from the paired Android device.
- When you want it back on Android, you DON'T have to pair again, simply go into bluetooth settings and click on AirPods, they will connect back to your Android.
- This is MAJOR: even when you have the AirPods working on Android, the battery % shows up on your iOS device!! I still don't get how that works, but it does, and it is bloody fantastic.

It sounds like it's just software related as I've seen form posts regarding ear detection automatically switching from Spotify to apple music when the bud is reinserted. Maybe it's just a simple mod on the waiting (also the x2 tap doesn't work when the bud is out of ear which is evidence that the sensor is working)

Ambient Sensors - Detection for Ringtone/Notification Volume

I am looking for a solution to solve following problem. As I am only an Android User and haven't a clue of programming, maybe someone can help, at it's best to give a hint to an app.
Problem:
- In my office it is very quiet, but the notification and ringtone is to loud on value 4 (on a scale 0-7).
- On the street/restaurant/party the notification and ringtone is to quiet on value 4
- Having the Mobile in pocket it is always to quiet on value 4
- On some scenarios the ringtone is to loud, the notification to quiet ...
I think you know what I mean
I don't want to change the volumes everytime on different scenarios.
Come on, don't tell me there are apps on the market where you can create Sound Profiles like Nokia Style ... thousand years ago. It was a good feature ... but not automated. I also don't want something which detects different Zones (WIFI, Bluetooth Scenarios), or have Time Pofiles. All these apps are unable to detect ambient volume.
Since Lollipop or Marshmallow Google changed their strategy and combined ringtone and notification to one adjustable soup ... why????
The IntelliRing app was working quiet well, smooth in background, in the past and I miss it so much.
Detects ambient sound level by internal Microphone and increases or decreases the volume, detects by brightness by sensor, if Mobile is in a pocket or not and increases volume. It was perfect and easy to use. In some forums and around the world some people looking for exactly the same solution than me, so thanks god I am not the only Android user, who wants to make daily usage automatically more comfortable.
Is there someone out there, who might would work on an app to bring these features back to working? I think there will be thousands of people who would install and pay for it ... only 10k people and it could be some good money to earn, or? So, Developers, what are you waiting for?

Intelligent Ringer ([email protected])
Perfect Ringtone Volume ([email protected])
RingDimmer ([email protected])
are some examples for antique apps and I am sure they were doing their job in the past, but on Nougat it is a **** ...
It is an idea and maybe some developers are interesting and worth a try working on it ... I would defintely do, but w/o any experience in programming, it is a no go
Cheers

Feature suggestion for Android (regards audio)

Hey guys,
It is known since a lot of time that bluetooth devices add a delay/latency which a variety in quantity, if the device is better than one it might offer a small delay. And it depends on the distance, walls etc. And possibly depends on device Bluetooth version.
Well, but there is a delay and since a lot of years there is no fix for delay regarding audio cutting. But, I have a software solution for this and I hope someone of Android developement reads my post and make it included officialized or just by a Magisk/Exposed module.
The problem is:
- The beginning of audio from Whatsapp/Music App is cut. You dont hear the beginning or first words from a audio.
The solution is:
- Via software, add a short blank audio of silence to every audio which is played and put in the beginning of this before output to a bluetooth speaker.
For example:
Lets considet that a specific Bluetooth device have 500 millisecond of delay in a Android device.
We are gonna play a long Whatsapp Voice Audio about 3.000 millisecond.
We just add 500 millisecond of silence before the 3.000 millisecond audio.
So the device will send to bluetooth 500 millisecond of silence and 3.000 millisecond of audio from whatsapp, making it plays without any cut the Whatsapp Voice Audio.
And if we can play this silence audio always before of an audio we will have no cut.
I hope someone can make it true soon
