SCA SmartCarAssistant is an app that combines a lot of useful features for driving a car in ONE APP!
Place your tablet or smartphone in car and use your device as personal car assistant to observe actual distance, time of driving, speed, weather and temperature changing with your actual location. Magazine and manage your routes and FUEL FILLING UP statistics, find out even how many kilometers or miles you have driven since last filling up, when was last refueling and for what amount!
AUTOMATIC STATISTICS OF TRAVELED ROUTES
Observe information such as:
-date of route,
-distance,
-start time and end time of the route,
-duration,
-downtime,
-driving time,
-average speed,
-maximum speed.
Now you can find out how much time you spent standing at crossroads and in traffic jams.
All this is done automatically. The app "knows" when to start, when to stop counting and add a new entry in the statistics.
Drive with turned on SCA SmartCarAssistant and forget to manual switching on the recorder!
REPLACE YOUR STANDARD AUDIO PLAYER WITH THIS APP
SCA SmartCarAssistant is also a unique MUSIC PLAYER that has the ability to add, store and delete internet radio stations by manually entering addresses of Internet servers of radio stations.
Additionally, it has EQUALIZER so you can adjust the sound to bring out the best sound quality from your speakers!
The application remembers the last played song. After switching on the player again, it will play previously played song from the moment, where it was finished.
You can also control SEPARATELY the DEVICE VOLUME and PLAYER VOLUME with the seekbar in the left part of the audio display!
This means that you can adjust the volume of your music without overwhelming the sounds of other applications (eg. the navigation messages).
When playing music files you can switch between folders, and you can even play files from USB pendrive if you have host usb in your device.
CHARGER DETECTOR
Application can be turned off when you activate charger detector in settings and disconnect power supply. Routes data will be saved and music stopped.
REMOTE TRACKING
Turn on remote tracking in settings and track your device using app "CarLocator for SCA" from other device.
PERSONALIZATION
You can customize the appearance of the application by changing the COLORS of text, main background, buttons and music display color.
You can also change UNITS:
-speed unit (km/h or mph),
-distance unit (km or miles),
-temperature unit (Celcius or Fahrenheit),
-fuel consumption unit (l/100km or mpg),
-date format.
SYNCHRONIZATION
If you have several devices and want to have up to date entries about routes or your own playlist with radio stations on multiple devices, it is very easy! You can make a backup on your Dropbox account and later synchronize with existing entries on other device.
NOTE: The app requires GPS and internet connection.
App always keeps screen on. To save your battery you can tap power button to lock the screen and the app will continue running in the background.

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
I've read posts before of people seeing better battery life after they've had their phone a couple weeks. I've had my a couple days, and sometimes it gets pretty hot when I'm not doing anything. So I've been using Android Task Manager to view realtime processes. What I've noticed is that the "Music Enhancer" and "Sound Set" processes all the sudden have become active and are in the top 5 CPU utilizers. Usually this was accompanied by Power Amp (which I wasn't using the app) but now it is accompanied by Google Play Music Service (which I wasn't using either).
I have a large music collection loaded. Is Android/Google up to something as far as cataloging my music or sending information to Google Play about the music on my Phone. Of course that wouldn't explain why Power Amp was eating CPU when not being used.
It's enough draw that the USB charging can't keep up with the CPU utilization. This is on wifi so it can't be something to do with 4G data transfers going on.
I have Google Play music sync turned OFF on the phone.
It has to do with HTC Music Enhancer. Must be analyzing my 2000 MP3s for the first time or something? There's no information anywhere as to what it does / is doing.
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

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.
I use Car Tunes as my default music player. All my mp3s are stored on a USB flash drive. When I first insert the flash drive the app reads all the music and everything works great. The issue is when I turn the vehicle off the next time I start it all the songs are added a second time. The library shows duplicates of every song and gives me an error every time a new track plays. If I clear the app data then reload the library all is good until I shut off the vehicle and turn it on again. Sometimes, it can show every song three or four times even though the file only exists once. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I like the appearance of Car Tunes App and the voice controls. I don't want to switch to another music app. Thanks again...
well, the "jungle" of mp3-player software for android is pretty big....
i'm currently using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mp3songs.mp3player.mp3cutter.ringtonemaker
on my smartwatch. (2", 320x240) https://www.sunsky-online.com/view/242836/An1 GSM Smart Watch Phone.htm
i have a 32gb micro-sd inserted and 3000+ mp3s on it.
The stated player somehow works, but sometimes it skips songs (when playing shuffle and song 1 is ended, he tries to load track 2 and it's shown, but he only starts the first millisecond and skips to song 3 and sometimes 4, etc, which is pretty annoying when you want uninterrupted playback) or takes ages to skip a song manually and in some rare occasions the player plain stops working (not responding, have to close manually).
Basically all i need is a player, that is:
capable of handling 3000+ songs with shuffle.
no visual battery/performance drainers like visualization etc.
integration in the home/lock screen,
skippable via bluetooth buttons (volume +/-) would be nice, too
low memory and cpu usage
free
maybe adjustable playback cache.
i don't need internet features, lyrics, album display.
Any recommendations?
