[Q] Motorola S9-HD question

Hi folks,
I have an HTC Desire running InsertCoin HD/Z port 1.8h ROM at the moment. I have just bought a Motorokr S9-HD and so far it's working reasonably well.
The major bug I have with this is the music control feature. It seems to start Meridian player and control that instead of the default HTC Music player I have already running. It has a weird effect of both music players streaming two different songs at the same time! Ever heard Evanescence and Ottmar Liebert playing at the same time? Not nice!
Anyone else encountered this problem with the S9-HD or any other bluetooth headset?
Thanks,
D.

I installed the new android music played on my desire and noticed if I'm using the default player and use the controls on my pair of s9s it controls the new player.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That sounds promising - where can I find this music player, and does it have widget for the default HTC lock screen?
Thanks.

Try the PowerAmp music player app, it has a dedicated BT button management and I'm loving it with my Motorila S9.

[Q] Voice Control of Music

Hi
Have recently got a Sensation XE, replacing an iPhone 3GS. Have been really impressed with the HTC however the one thing I miss from the 3GS is the ability to start playing music using voice commands. I stream music to my Bluetooth car stereo all the time and it is therefore useful to be able to choose the music I wish to listern to using voice commands whilst driving.
The included Google Voice Search doesn't support music commands and so I have tried Jeannie with a view to purchsing Voice Actions Plus. However the HTC music player doesn't appear in the list of applications that are controllable by Jeannie so although Jeannie can recognise the command it only offers a choice of YouTube or TuneIn radio to complete the command.
I installed Winamp which Jeannie does work with, however when playing music with Winamp, I get conflicts between Winamp and HTC media player when using the controls on my stereo to start/stop and skip tracks using bluetooth, so for example instead of stopping the currently playing song in Winamp, it also starts playing music through the HTC app!
Does anyone know of a way to control the HTC media player with voice commands or could suggest alternative combinations of voice control and media player apps?
Many thanks
Mark.

hi i use voco voice controller available on the market free and i have no problems on my sensation flashed with sensation xe with beats audio. hope this helps

The Quest for an Android Music player that does A2DP bluetooth and a lockscreen

Ok Folks before you flame me, please allow me to elaborate:
yes, i DID search (but couldn't find anything specific).
yes, I DID try several things on my own (see below for details)
yes, the things I'm looking for in specific seem to not exist in one package.
Ok, with that disclaimer, the setup
AT&T Galaxy note running Black Star V2 with Apex Launcher 1.2.2 / Android ICS 4.04. (Please note that these issues ALSO APPLY TO THE STOCK Gingerbread software that came with the phone).
Ok folks in short, I am looking for a music player that can do ALL 3 of the following (every single music player I tried, and I tried tens literally does 1 or 2 out of the following list, but not all):
1.) Pin-lock friendly lock screen music controls (my email is an Exchange acount which enforces a pin lock) [Poweramp does this well]
2.) Persistent player controls even when no music is playing (this is VERY helpful to start playing music after a while) [Cloudskipper is the only player I know of that does this!]
3.) Full bluetooth track / ID3 streaming to the stereo. I don't think this issue has to do with the bluetooth stack because the stock player and/or Google Play music both work. However, their UI (and/or lock screens suck big time)!
Software I have tried:
MixZing
CloudSkipper
Stock Android music player
Google play Music player
Apollo
doubletwist
Winamp
Poweramp
Rocket Music Player
Zimly
Songbird
PlayerPro
n7player
MusicXmatch
NRG Player
Astro Player
(and more that I can't remember off the top of my head).
Can someone please help?
PS: Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum. I had no idea where to post it.

I'd settle for option 3 only. I don't like the stock player either, but it's the only one that sends the music info to my carkit.
I haven't tried as much as you, but I haven't found any yet that do this.

Im with you dude, It would be nice if I could see what songs are being played on my deck. But android doesnt seem to be able to send that data.

If the stock player fulfills all your needs, except for the lockscreen, why not try installing widgetlocker as your lockscreen and using a music widget of your choice?

Set default music player for bluetooth?

Right now, I'm using jetaudio as my music player.
I connect my phone via bluetooth to player music. But when I press play without opening/playing on jetaudio first, built in default music player plays (Apollo).
So, I disabled default music player. Now, when I press play nothing will happen unless I play on jetaudio first.
It seems when jetaudio gets unloaded from memory, bluetooth control does not work.
Is there anyway to set my phone to open and play with jetaudio when bluetooth control to play music is received?
I tired to set jetaudio as default music player, but could not find such a option. Also, jetaudio is not even on open with list when I open mp3 file.

Most likely, the developer did not implement the functionality for jetAudio to be the default app for music. You might want to request it from them. I've seen this issue in several camera apps, which can be a real pain if you have a physical camera button on your phone.
If the developer won't fix it, then you can fix it yourself with the app HeadsetButton Controller (and you'll add some extra functionality to your Bluetooth headset/device. It's definitely worth the few bucks if you use a Bluetooth headset IMO). The app includes an option to change the default music player, and jetAudio shows up for me as one of the options.

Thanks for the info.
I found also found app called Media Button Router. I will give it a try.

[Q] Google Play Music Day Dream?

I play music from Google Play Music at my work with my phone on wireless charger. I would love to be able to glance to my phone and see the song that's currently playing, coz I have bought quite a lot of albums and not sure which is which.
Is there an app (maybe if not I will write one) that displays the music being played? The one on lockscreen is perfect, but I can't keep the screen on on the lockscreen.
I managed to use dashclock + music extension, but the words are too small.
