I am trying to watch Youtube in my car and because the speakers on the Nexus 5 are not the greatest, I am connecting it to my car CD player via Bluetooth
The problem is when I do that, android believes I am connecting my phone to a TV so it darkens my phone screen and also shows a small icon in the middle of the screen(screenshot attached)
Is there any way to avoid this and just have the screen at normal brightness and also the small icon to not show?
Same problem here too !!
Yeah, same problem here, too. Had it show up with a pair of Bluetooth headphones.
its the youtube app not the phone. If you install an old version of youtube it will work fine.

Can we all please report this as a bug on the youtube app and hopefully they will do something on the next update?
lock the orientation of the phone (Lanscape) then start youtube.
i find that if you turn the screen it will have this problem while watching the video
That's the Chromecast icon in the middle of the screen and yes its annoying, youtube needs to fix and update that.

Does anyone know of a way to keep the sound playing on the phone while "casting the screen" I'm not talking about youtube/netflix.. in app casting. I'm talking about mirroring the phone. I'd love to use the headsetplugged in to my phone for sound instead because i'm casting it through a monitor and this this monitor doesn't have ANYTHING related to audio (no hdmi, no headphone jack, no speakers.... none, nothing). Thanks!
Am I missing something or is the Media controller app not available for the Gear S2? I have spent hours trying to find/install the thing, but with no success.
If the Gear S2 is missing the media controller app? Why? Its such a useful app. Without it I am thinking of returning the device. This is how I control I would control what music is playing from my phone from my watch, its a hassle to have to pull out my phone only to skip to the next track or pause.
Is there any way to enable it?
On this watch it's the Music Player. If you tap on the 3 dots to the right, you'll get a menu and the top item will allow you to select either the phone or the watch as the source for music. The watch will be able to control the phone if Bluetooth is on.

You can also add a widget with remote control buttons.
This is a life saver for parents
o to Settings - sound and vibration - Seperate App sound (all the way at the bottom)
turn on and pick the app you want(limited to 1 app at a time)
Then choose the location (I chose Music to bluetooth)
This way I can still listen to music and be able to hand my daughter my phone so she can watch youtube
Impressive, didn't think of that as a use case. Although I don't think I'll be handing anyone my phone just yet
For example (?) : can you watch a video/broadcast mute (sport game), and listen TuneIn ( running commentary ) at the same time ?
Actually android is deeply missing basic audio mix table !
Also can you (lucky owners) tell us if :
-AKG earphone are ip68 waterproof ?
-Google Music can be uninstall/disable ?
-is embedded EQ working with any browser/video app ?
Thx for sharing...

The only one I can answer is that yes Google play music can be uninstalled

I have a specific question/problem related to this:
Currently I have Google Play Music assigned to Bluetooth.
This is cool because in the car, I can play music - but then play a game or something at the same time.
HOWEVER.....
In order for this to actually work, you have to go to the audio connections hub thing in the notification shade.
And switch your audio output to the phone.
THEN with the audio output set to the phone - itll use the override and send the play music to bluetooth.
You seemingly have to do this every time (I even used Tasker and Autotools custom settings, trying to detect which setting gets changed and make it automatic.... but couldn't see a related changed setting in the settings lists).
A bigger problem though, amidst my messing around to try to make this work better....
I selected "turn off connections manager" option.
Now I don't get that stuff in the notification shade at all.
And I cannot find a single setting that lets me access it again!
So now I can never use separate app audio.
Can someone help me!?!?!?
I have found this feature usefull for SatNav.
I have the phone connected to car bluetooth, so ALL audio on previous phones goes to the car - so as im listening to streaming radio etc, the satnav voice from TomTom kicks in and can be quite annoying - especially as I only want the voice for traffic and speed cameras.
With this feature, I can still stream music to the car but have the audio come through the phone speaker - well done Samsung

Same, once disabled there doesn't appear to be a way to get it to reappear

Give SoundAbout a look. There isn't much it can't manage.
One of my issues with the Google ChromeCast is that when the phone is used as a source, all audio is sent over that ChromeCast connection.
You cannot divert the audio to Bluetooth for bluetooth speakers/headphones.
Does anyone know if this new Samsung feature will allow you to divert ChromeCast audio to Bluetooth?
That would be pretty darn cool if it did.
EDIT: Btw, I don't have the Samsung phone.
I was linked here from a Google Pixel thread. But I'm really interested to know the answer to my question above.

Download Sound Assistant from Samsung in the play store. When you adjust volume hit the icon and then expand the window. To the right of the app volume slider you can switch sound output.
Found the "Audio output" control! Yess!!

Thanks to the post above I was finally able to find the setting to enable the option to select the Audio output on my phone (Samsung S8+) see pictures attached. So if you've lost the option to select the audio output of you S8 follow these steps. (Not to be confused with with Separate app sound, which routes different apps to a bluetooth or phone output)
Find the Samsung Connect app
Click on the three dots to bring down the menu
Tap Settings
Tap Samsung Connect panel
Ensure this is turned on
Tap on Always show
and Finally tap on Audio output << This is the one! :good:
Background - I have a Galaxy Watch 4 and use it with Jaybird Vista 2 headphones. I listen to music via YouTube Music on my watch.
Have an annoying issue, wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Whenever my watch detects a workout, the volume drops (e.g., say it's at ~70% - it drops to 40%) enough where it's annoying. I'm able to turn it back up, but then if my watch determines one activity is done and then I start something else, it will do it again. Happens ~2-3 times if I'm at the gym.
I tried looking in options on the watch and my headphones, but couldn't find anything that could be controlling this. I don't recall this being an issue previously, so not sure if it's a bug in an updated version or something. Honestly not sure if it's a headphone issue or a watch issue.
Any ideas?
