Hi!
On my previous phone I could set 2 minutes timer (on any timer app from Play Store) for my stretching excercises and play music or audiobook the same time. I could switch off the screen and every 2 minutes I received the signal.
On Honor 8 it doesnt work. No matter which timer app I use, no matter if the screen is on or off, When I play audiobook, timer app is "dead".
Will be grateful for any help.
Cheers!

Hi! I have issue with Pandora app. I have Sensation 4G stock unrooted and when i try to play music it plays well with unlocked screen but when I lock screen it plays track and then it interrupts then I have 2 options:
1) if I unlock screen asap it continues it starts to play another track
2) I have to wait about 15 seconds and it starts to play another track but interrupts in about 10 seconds, if I still do nothing in about 15 seconds it start to play same track and interrupts again in 10 seconds after 3rd interruption it starts to play another track and it goes like this. If I leave screen unclocked (even if app is backgrounded) everything is fine. I did hard reset - didn't help. I was tried to play tracks on my ASUS Transformer - everything is fine.
Yesterday I tried to play songs with DI.fm app and it stops to stream song an about 5 seconds after I locked the screen and continues to play after unlocking. So, may be somebody has the same problem and what should I do to fix it?
I don't think it's a problem with the app, just the user!

I use Pandora constantly, either with the screen off or on, makes no difference, works great. There are so many reasons that this could be happening to you, I can only list a few.
In the padora app setting there are options for quailty of stream, Lo or High res. Also there is an option for keeping screen on or off. Finally there is an option for streaming via bluetooth.
After that in your phone is setting/power Under that option or things that you can have the phone do to save power such as shut down wifi, or turn off data when screen is off. These are just a few but I think the answer can be found if you just look through all the settings on your phone and adjust them accordingly.
Do you have juice defender installed? Or any battery saver type of app? If so try to disable it. Hope it helps you

I wonder if there is a sleep timer hidden in Google Music, cause when I listen to large mp3-files (DJ sets, 60 minutes +), without interacting, the app will stop playing and shut after 30 minutes.
Is there anybody who made the same experiences or has an explanation?
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

Does it support all music & video players? Or only stock players?

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.

Dingless is the stupidest, simplest, yet highly effective android app. it has three options for free,
1) Turn off notification when screen is on, and restore them back when screen is off. Well, Who needs extra disturbance while chatting, watching youTube or playing a game?
2) It combines consecutive sound notifications into one if the screen is off. You can define the time frame for this combination. So you will be receiving 1 notification every 30, 60 or 90 seconds. No more sounds rush when meeting your friends or having a dinner.
3) Turn off sound notifications while playing music from your phone or streaming from your favorite channels.

Hello,
I have Spotify installed in my gear s3 and also have my guide at intervals enabled when running. Whenever i reach the half point and at the same time my interval, it will have a voice notification. However, after the voice notification, it kind of mutes the spotify. I noticed that spotify keeps on playing but there's no sound. I tested other sound like ringtones, etc and they are okay. I needed to reset the watch to be able to hear the music from spotify again.
It doesn't have any issues if it's only the interval playing. It only happens when i reach half point and interval at the same time.
Anybody has the same issue?
Thanks.
Even after 1 year the problem has not been solved. I am also facing it till date in INDIA on my Gear S3. Spotify or Samsung doesn't seem to care about it..
