Is it possible to set different volume level as default?
I´d like to play music via Blutooth to my car radio,
simultaneuosly TT is running.
My wish is, that TT-Voice is a little bit louder than music.
I´ve looked into registry but can´t find the correct keys.
Thanks for your ideas.
I use a program by Ageye called G-Profile ( http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gprofile/about ). It allows you to set all kinds of different profiles based on different scenarios.
For instance, I have an "equipment based" profile that automatically kicks in when external power is connected + headset. When I'm driving I use that adapter that has 3 plugs going in one side (power, headset & data) and one plug out the other side to plug into the bottom of the device. I plug in the car power adapter + a cord that interfaces with my car radio to play music through the radio and leave the data plug empty. With this setup my phone charges while driving and playing music + using TomTom and all the sounds come through the car speakers. Just set your TomTom to the level you want it to be when you drive and it will be the same each time you use it. Also, look in your TomTom settings...there is something about linking the volume to your car speed (increases as you drive faster, if you want).
There are several tabs in the G-Profile program for all kinds of settings...volume (I have mine to set volume max when I plug in in the car, but turn the ringer way down), connectivity (nothing changes for me while in car), execute (my prefered music player), reminders (none for me while driving), notifications (I don't change any), screen brightness (no changes for me here either).
When I get in the car and plug the one plug from the adapter into my device, G-Profile automatically notices I've plugged in power and "headset" and it automatically launches my music player and sets the volume etc how I want. Very cool. When I unplug it goes back to the default settings for all those tabs, or another profile depending on how you have it set up. I have it so it knows if I'm home (based on Cell tower ID) to turn on my wifi (and make some other changes) so I am connected to my home network before I even get in the front door and have my phone volume etc set how I want it while home. It can tell if I'm at work (grown up sound notifications as opposed to fun sounds used while not at work), in the library (mute everything and jump onto their wifi) etc. You get the picture.
It's a nice program. Might be overkill for the one thing you need. But maybe it does all kinds of stuff you didn't know you "needed" until now! It's not free (4.99 €), but it's not too expensive either. I wouldn't want to be without it since I have 8 profiles set up to all work automatically (no ringers going off in the middle of the night while it charges etc)!
Good luck!
Hi...
the registry key you are looking for is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\HTC\AudioManager\Config]
"music_player_volumn"
default is 100, 65 should work for use with TomTom!
Cheers,
Jan

you made my day
testing on way home after work.
That´s it, everything wireless with good sound and volume.
I think it´s worth to move this thread into tweaks and tricks.
Thanks
merry xmas and a happy new year
At my friend's house I stream SC2 matches to his tv with my G2X and an HDMI cable. Is there a way to set my phone up so I can stream video through HDMI while the screen on the phone is turned off? As it stands now Once I turn off the screen the video cuts out.
Same. Thats how it was on stock and CM7. Kinda sucks. Double drainage.
For me I like to play Emulators using a Bluetooth Gamepad. I don't need the screen on when I'm able play like that.
All,
I noticed a couple possible defects after upgrading to 3.1 manually.
1. When playing audio from certain applications (XMP for Android for instance) The Audio cuts out shortly after the screen turns off, and then halts for a period of time before coming back shortly, then cuts out again.
2. Once you turn the screen back on, there is a distinct crackling in the audio.
Workaround:
1. Turn screen back on (get the crackling)
2. Unplug the 3.5mm audio jack
3. Play music from the speakers
4. Plug back in the 3.5mm audio jack
Anyone else seeing these issues with other audio applications?
Yep, I had the crackling and long pauses start happening today after the FOTA update.
Seems to happen (more often?) when applications interrupt an audio stream. For instance, listening to music and get an IM or email.
Yeah I had issues with this as well afer updating to 3.1...I saw in another thread that doing a "hard reboot" will fix the issue and has seemed to work for me so far. Hold the power button down for 10-15 sec until the unit reboots.
same problem
I have the same problem as well. The audio stops functioning properly when the screen times out or when I lock the device with the power button. The weird thing is that this behaviour is not consistent for all apps.
For example, "Music" stops only at the end of the song. From the "3.1 ROM issues" thread, other users are experiencing this as well. In contrast, in the apps "Listen" and "Audible", almost as soon as the screen goes off or I lock it, the audio stops, starting after some 30 seconds, halting again after 10 seconds. It repeats this cycle a few times and then stops completely. If I lit the screen by hitting the power button, the audio resumes with crackling noises as mentioned in the original posts.
Also, hard reset didn't work. I am tempted to do a factory reset except that I don't really know what's going on and I don't know if that'd fix it!
UPDATE: I found the following workaround solutions:
1- Winamp works flawlessly for songs, not a peep or hitch!
2- BeyondPod is working fairly well for podcasts. (It has paused once after 11 minutes so far.)
I did the fota update.
and I've the the crackling. Sucky.
me too. Hope they get an update out to fix this asap. Extremely annoying bug.
Would like to add I am also experiencing this issue although mine didn't start till a couple days after the update to 3.1. A hard reset works for a little while but the issue eventually presents itself again. Might be due to a caching issue with the music player?
Anyone try another music player?
I discovered the crackling noise problem last night.
At first I thought the FLAC songs were recorded from a dirty vinyl record.
I also discovered the problem where the Music app does not continue to the next song when listening with the screen turned off. How stupid is that.
These are two big problems that ASUS needs to address ASAP.
I am already annoyed by the pop sound when turning the Transformer on and whenever any sound to the speaker (Headphones are fine) is played after a long pause.
They must have used a really cheap sound chip in the Transformer.
Yes I can confirm the same problems with google listen. Have tried the hard reset but it doesn't really help very much. Things worked fine after the restart, but as soon as the screen turned off, then the audio paused, and began to crackle, then more pauses. It is almost as if some part of the system is in some sort of low power mode and is not able to feed the data at the required data rate...

I believe this could be exactly the problem. I have not yet gotten my TF, but looking forward to one greatly. However, I get exactly this problem on my Galaxy Tab 7" WHEN using setCPU to add a profile that scales the CPU down when screen is off. It sounds to me as if ASUS has added some sort of governer/scaling that does this. I could be wrong of course This is just based on reading, and personal experience

Yes. I get a lot of weird little problems with the Tab 7'' when setCPU scales clock speed down too far, including random reboots. I guess that's the sacrifice Asus made to give the TF such a tremendous battery life.

I don't know about "tremendous"
More like pretty good...
i can confirm that i have this issue using google music app. I previously purchased PowerAMP (arguably the best android music app) and no problems whatsoever when the screen goes off.
I do like the google music app as it seems like a truly lightweight player but its still in beta stage and needs a bit of work.
I just discovered something. The problem does not occur for my Transformer when the unit is plugged in!
So it must be power management problem, the question is how to fix it?
Hey guys, loving the xda forums btw, much love. I have a acer iconia a500 16gb, and same problem here:
Using Acer_a500_4.010.13_com_gen2
The default Music player is buggy and crashed fairly often, the audio stopping when screen turns off and stopping intermittently is also present on iconia with the default music player and the others as well.
The audio crackling is also present under same conditions.
To add insult to injury, sometimes when i connect a headphones the speakers dont turn off. And if i play with he "dolby mobile" settings, the sound on my headphones get really tinny untill i unplug the headphones and plug them back in, or i reboot the sys in some cases.
I just thought I should add to this thread that I have the same problems on my Acer Iconia A500. It consistently only finishes the song after I turn the screen off then it waits MINUTES to start the next song. I only occasionally have problems with the crackle sound. I had the crackling a lot when I first got it but it doesn't seem to happen as often any more. It doesn't seem to happen when I use doubleTwist but I really wish that the STOCK APPLICATION (which I like the best) would work...
Is there ANY way to fix this stuff? I mean even downgrading to like 3.0 or something. I like to use my tablet to play on my stereo system and I don't enjoy having to effing go back every time I want to play the next song. I also don't want to leave the screen on all the time and murder the battery.
I have the same thing happening on my A500 (running the ASUS PRIME ROM, though). When the screen turns off, anything audio related gets really skippy.
apparently there's some sort of setting build in for the cpu to underclock to the point of not being able to continue running the music application when the screen turns off. (that's me guessing it could be wrong) It always happens with stock music app though it didnt happen when in 3.0.
I installed winamp and doubletwist and both played nonstop.
Also i noticed that if you had music in your external sd and you open music app (also happened with winamp) and remove the sd the applications wont work anymore (thy always fc)unless you install the sd back (that is if you had your music library in the sd even if you also have it internally)
I tried moving the music to the internal storage but the error persist. the only way to get rid of it is formatting the tablet and passing the music to the tablet before running the apps. However if you install the sd and you happen to have music and music app open, youre screw again.
thats the error ive been having and im stuck with a 16gb sd in the tablet to hear music, (which i find it sucking cause my tablet is 32gb)
any suggestions?
Hi
First sorry if in wrong area
I have a Note 2 and its going to be used in a semi perm car install .. i am a big spotify users and what i would like to do seems quite simple but cant seem to get it to work
i am using tasker to do the following
On Power Source (Any USB Connection) to Media Control (Toggle Play/Pause)
i would have led to believe this should pause/play spotify app
is there something obvious im missing ?
i then would like the opposite to happen when usb is unplugged spotify pauses
i already have got tasker to lock the device on usb power off (basically the device will be plugged into a head unit which powers off when car goes off meaning tasker sees no charge.
Regards
Dave
Lets say i have an nvidia shield or android box plugged into my minivan via hdmi in the back.
Kids are watching movies then i turn the car off.
When i turn the car back in i need a device and a program that allows the movie they were watching to auto resume playback at that point in time.
No tinkering with menus or having to start over and find the last movie position..
What will allow me to do that?
