Volume control for navigation and music

Hi all,
Is there any way to spilt the media sound level? I am using co pilot and the HTC music player, the issue is the music can drown out the directions. Any work aroundsfor this please? This is the first big draw back I have found since leaving wm 6. 5 :-(
Cheers

Use google directions and the music, it stops the music when the directions are read out.
Not a real answer i now, more for other people who are curious about this.

The htc doesn't stop the music sadly it just mutes it if using google maps, which is a pain if listening to a podcast.
If you keep on using copilot then get "audiomanager", you can set up profiles do the sat nav is louder than the music. Works a treat especially if you buy it and can have shortcuts on your screen.

Thanks for the replies seems there is no current work around. :'( hopefully 2. 2 will fix this

[Q] Bluetooth Functionality

I'm wondering if this possible through a setting somewhere that I'm missing...
With my bluetooth device, the only thing I can do is chat on the phone. I'd love to be able to hear other things as well. Most notably, I would really, really love to be able to hear my Google NAV directions through bluetooth rather than the phone speaker. I can't figure out how to do that though. I'd also love to be able to listen to music through it.
Anybody know how to do this? Can it be done on the Epic?
Thanks for the assistance in advance.

Not all devices are capable of ad2p (Bluetooth media audio). If your device is, you can go into bluetooth settings, long press the device, hit "Options", then tick the checkbox for Media Audio.

So I'll need to look for a headset that is ad2p capabe. Thank you for that very good info. I'll start looking for that now. I assume that our Epic's are set up for a2dp just fine....right?? As long as I have the right headset, I should be able to take advantage of the option?

Is there a way to spoof a2dp to stream music? Like an app or bt module? I remember being able to listen to music on bt without this profile on dk28 or I'm crazy but I swear I did.

J,
I found an app called "Bluetooth Audio Widget" (Pub: KokasIT) on the market. It does the job. Try the free 5 day trial and see if that does the trick for you. Appears to work on some phones/setups, not on others. I'm not really having any issues with it other than I had to stop and restart the service a couple times because the connection was poor, so the volume was real low. Once I restarted the widget, it worked fine. Listened to directions on the GPS, and a good bit of music last night.

Yup, there's an app called BT super mono froyo. I had the free trial installed for a while. I'm not positive about nav directions, but I know you can listen to music through your BT with it.

Thank you fellas will try both.

Headset button handling

Can anybody confirm if ICS properly handles headset button actions unlike how it got messed up again in gingerbread...

Just tried headphones, I'm a bit stunned, it only does pause(1click) and next song (2clicks) how annoying!!!! The volume up and down doesn't work for some reasons

Does it handle apps that have focus, properly?

On my VZW GN, headset button presses seem to only interact with Google Music. If I'm playing a podcast in PocketCasts and I press the headset button, it not only doesn't pause the podcast, but it also starts Google Music in the background and starts playing a random track!

I bought the Klipsch s4a. They have an app in the market that adds functionality. It mostly worked but was a little buggy and laggy so I stopped using it. I'm sure the button hardware on them is no different from other one button headphones including the ones that come with the phone. Give it a shot. Admittedly I have not used it since my nexus s on stock gingerbread.

Build 19 of AOKP Rom can do this
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11455-rom-android-open-kang-project-maguro-build-19-jan-17/

A guick Google search found PlayerPro which seems to do it, but I don't know anything about the player...
PowerAmp has had good reviews, and I think it might do it as well.
If you're using custom ROM, it is already included in Bigxies v.9. (GSM) (CDMA)
Otherwise I guess it is in CM as well...

I used to use it on my old phone and it supported skipping songs by holding volume.

Those supplied headphones with the phone aren't necessarily "top quality."

To follow up, found nothing with power amp
Used player pro trial, and it has shake to skip song which works great if anyone is interested
So no need to wake up screen every song change, with screen closed, share it and it skips song.
Comes in handy at work where I don't have skip buttons on headphones

Headphones

Just purchased the 2 on release day for full price and so excited to try out Samsung. I am a heavy music listener and have to use headphones. I tried the set I purchased for my last phone HTC brand in Amazon and the stock ones that came with the phone (Samsung) and for the love of all mighty I am unable to get the darm things to skip/fast forward. The only thing it does is lower the volume or raise it. WTF that's what the volume buttons on the phone are for.
I have been all over the settings in the phone and the music players and unable to find anything that looks like it would help. This is doing it while on stock and power amp music players. Also I am running stock if that helps.
Has anyone figured it how to get that to work and if so how?
Thanks,
A desperate man who wants to skip. Lol

Lol I had the same issue downloaded an app called headset button controller it's only a trial but it's working great. There was another free app that I plan on trying out as well called JAYS headset control try out either see which one u like best. I don't think u can use the volume button to skip tracks but the third button on the controller can do it all skip/play/stop/previous just by double/triple/quadruple tapping using those apps.
