Hello,
Okay, trying to perfect this device is difficult. However, there are a few things I would love to get an answer for. I was looking at iDisplay, and android app that will use the TV screen as a second display. However, I'm not sure if it will play sound this way. I have a sound bar, so I didn't know if it would include playing the sound on the second display or not. When I use this function I don't want the sound to be played on my laptop.

hey, i want to know if theres a way to swipe the zoombar left or right to change the song in htc sense music player while the screen is off and if its possible, could it skip the song no matter what program you are in at the time? i would like this since i never use the zoombar anyway, because its not really needed or used in most programs
thanks
Get the CAB for zoombarplus. That will do what you want.
it does exactly that? are you sure? i thought it just made it a d-pad
edit: nevermind, wrong app, but still im not sure about the app having these features tho, and im new to the registry
Having a d-pad will let you skip forward and backward. I'm not sure about if it will do it with the screen off. No program will let you do it if you have another app open... Obviously you can only control whatever is currently on the screen (the only thing I know that does let you control music anywhere is a headset).

Consider getting a set of Bluetooth headphones. Now only do you get the advantage of not having to deal with a cord, but nearly all bluetooth headphones have volume and track control buttons which work even when the phone screen is off.
what about a small bluetooth remote to change songs?
any recommendations for the tp2?
This might be what you're looking for. You need to plug in your headphones/speakers into the unit, but it gives you control of the music and should work with the screen off.

thats great thanx, i couldnt really find anything like what i was looking for, but this is perfect, definetely gonna check it out
edit: there are atleast 4 threads i have seen about the bt3030 saying it doesnt work with hd2, so im assuming it doesnt work with tp2 either
Hey guys,
Just got my M8 last week and I love it, but there's one thing so far that has been bugging me. When either playing or streaming music via BT in the car or via headphones at the gym/home, I've noticed that my notification sounds will not come through. Every other android phone (or iphone) that I've owned that I can remember has always attenuated the music for a second to play the notification sound. So far, I have not been able to figure out how to get my M8 to do this. It doesn't even vibrate to let me know I have a text/email/whatever... at best, I'll look down at the phone and the notification light will be blinking.
So, can anyone point me in the right direction to get this feature working again?
Also, FYI - I'm on the stock, rooted ROM with Xposed installed and s-off

I actually like it like , I noticed it right away. I did look around all the phones settings even in the dev section and didn't see any settings to change the behavior.
Mine kinda does the same thing.
It just cuts the music for a second but i believe its because i use PowerAmp.
i'm still aware of getting a notification, just through slience.lol
I have 2 major problems:
1. amazon prime movies have no sound, and sound works properly every where else.
2. I cannot download amazon apps from amazon fire TV home screen, it won't even let me click into them to see the price.
Looking for some help what it could be.
Notable tweaks:
I have a rooted device with nova launcher, xbmc, rboxs module google play store module. And various other apps.
Not knowing how you are hooked up, that is hard to speculate about. One thing though, some movies are encoded with Dolby Digital Plus and not all equipment can handle it. The AFTV also has an Optical Out so one can get Dolby Digital instead. I pitched my Roku3 I for this reason. I could not get surround from Netflix movies. Had to to opt for Stereo.
Here's more info, I don't think its the way I'm hooked up. I have aftv HDMI to TV then fiber optics to sound bar. Appears to be software or something. Any one else had this problem?

It's still a little hard to diagnose with that info. Could be the HDMI so you'd try a different cable (higher quality if possible)
I'm sure you've tried rebooting by now but sometimes that fixes lots of issues, in fact I've fixed some sound issues with a simple reboot. Other times I've unplugged it for a short period of time then plugged it back in.
The only other thing is lots of people have complained of netflix/prime video playback but I don't think the sound was the problem for any. The fix there, that I know of is go to amazon video in apps section, clear data 3 times, unplug 10 seconds then it works.
But I'm just hoping I might help. Based on the info I'm just taking a stab. Of course you might eliminate the sound bar or try a different tv if possible to rule out software like you suspect. Good luck.
Since you have Optical connected to your soundbar is Optical selected in AFTV Settings for sound output? Just asking.
No offense taken, thanks for your suggestion! I have ruled out the cables, I got the apps to work, it was a module that puts the amazon app store on that was causing other apps not being able to install.
So now its just the sound not working only while watch amazon prime videos, the sound works in every other app!
OK its all fixed you were right sound out put all it was. Went thru the trouble shooting tips here

DD+ is a nightmare for many with equipment a few years old. it is HDMI only and meant for 7.2. Kind of overkill for many. It is supposed to backward compatible to DD 5.1 but not in many instances. Had to ditch my Roku3 because of it but found the AFTV which is more fun anyway.

Take a look at the amazon tab. I found a crossed out speaker icon on it. right click to unmute and then turn up the sound. worked for me. Check out chrome://flags/#enable-tab-audio-muting
Can someone please tell me what is this icon for. It keeps randomly popping up on my status bar.

google search says rocket video
It generally means you are connected to something streaming. It's on when I am connected to Bluetooth in the car listening to music or when I'm connected to my chromecast watching videos.
Oh ok, thank you. Is there a way to turn off the notification in my status bar?

I'm not really sure, but doubtful. It may just be a matter of disabling notifications of the app the is responsible for streaming anything.
But the real question might be why it's even popping up at all if you're not streaming anything. Do you wireless stream anything?
I dont stream at all. It randomly pop's up throughout the day. When I wake my phone up it will pop up after about 5 minutes of using my phone. .
Do you leave Bluetooth on your phone on all the time?
Only when I have my gear circle or my gear s connected otherwise its off.
i get it when I am watching netflix and am streaming the signal to my TV via my Chromecast so I think it is something to do with attaching your phone to different devices
I'll dig deeper, thanks
I see that icon come up sometimes, but it's when I'm trying to play a video and it's bigger, and in the middle of the screen. Ever since I installed "Crazy Helium Booth", an app I've used successfully (and with much laughter), on other models, It's messed up my video playback. I'd try to play the video and all it would do is play the audio part of it, but the entire screen would be black with a dark grey larger version of the icon you've described, which I'm pretty sure is a "casting" icon, though I haven't an inkling (sp?) as to why it would come up when I'm not trying or wanting to stream the damn thing, and even if I was, why does the audio still come through the -phone's- speaker?
Caution.... after closer inspection my phone was casting to someone through spyware.
Hello I recently updated to oos13 and it looks like the audio switch which allowed us to change the output got nixed. Anyone have an alternative or am I missing something.
I just want to be able to keep all my Bluetooth devices connected but switch to output audio from my phone.
I miss being able to click the volume then select output when I needed to change it.
Hey, it is still available from the little square of the music playing in the notifications dropdown, you can change it from there. I discovered this by chance!
Wow you're a savior here. I've spent hours looking for this as a setting but that tile just blends together I didn't even think to push it. Even the OnePlus community forums said it was gone. Still would be better back in the volume UI but I can settle for this.

So it turns out this is only an option for media that pops into the tiles. Ie can't switch audio if I'm playing a game. So although a partial success it's not the same feature they took away
