I use Music boss, so the defaut media controls are useless. Is there a way to get it to stop compleatly. It's a pain cause when using Music Boss, you have to swipe up to get to that control.
thx

I sometimes listen to mp3 using the build in Media Player. The single most annoying thing is that if I need to pause the mp3, I have to take out Dash, unlock screen, go to media player, than pause it [email protected]!#%[email protected]#% Looks pretty silly if I sit next to a iPod owner...
There is a button on dash's default headset, but it doesn't seem to do anything to the media player. So my question is that if there's an enhanced headset has several extra buttons to pause/play/FF/REW etc? Or at minimum, just to pause/play?

as far as i know. no. there's not. only via bluetooth headphones by virtue of the a2dp/avcrp function can you control media player ( or any other media player programs)
How do you disable the native media player on the Touch Pro 2 so that you can use your Bluetooth headphones controls to play another media player? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
I've never disabled the native HTC media player, I just installed another app (Nitrogen in this case), and I've had no trouble listening to that and controlling it through my BT stereo headphones
Thank you - will try Nitrogen & see it that does the trick.
Hey master, I was actually playing around with Nitrogen some more last night, and I discovered a few things. First....when I hit the "pause" button on my bluetooth headphones, it doesn't actually pause the player (like it does when I use windows media player on the phone), it just interrupts the audio stream going to the headset, the player actually keeps playing. And, for some reason, it also causes the HTC Media tab to pop up.
I'd never realized these behaviors until last night, but I thought they might influence your search for a media player. I know the BT controls on the headphones will directly control all functions in WMP just fine, but that's obviously not the best (and definitely not the "leanest") media player available and I'll be checking out other replacement options for it today too. I'll post back here when I confirm which one(s) work the way we want for the BT controls (aka "AVRCP" profile)
Sirphunkee, That's the issue I have with the HTC media player using Bluetooth. If I press ffwd or rew, the HTC player starts playing over the 3rd-party player (i.e. Core Player, Pocket Music, etc.). I would use the native player - if it had an equalizer (maybe I'm asking for too much, LOL) & WMP is "okay" at best in sound, but is a battery hog. Thanks again & now you know my pain,
Also, for some reason, my playlists don't show in Nitrogen.
Yeah, the reason I didn't realize at first that the HTC media player was kicking in is becasue I don't have any music in it's default folder, it's all on my SD card, so the HTC player pops up but just continuously shows "searching...", so it never started playing anything over the music I already had on.
But yeah, I'm sure there's registry keys somewhere that tell the phone what to do (i.e. calling up the HTC player) whenever AVRCP commands are received...if they can be routed to activate/control the HTC player, they should be able to be redirected to the player of choice.
Keep looking, I'm doing the same (well, whenever my boss isn't walking by lol)
Running Codename Android, and as the title says, sometimes the media playback controls show up on my lock screen and sometimes they don't. I haven't been able to figure out what causes them to show up.
Apps: Google Play Music, BeyondPod
BeyondPod uses the stock controls of google play, or appears to. When playing podcasts, the lock screen controls are there about 80% of the time (so far). Is this a common issue? Is there any fix? Or alternatively, is there any free solution which puts universal media controls on the lock screen?
I have looked around and found widget locker, etc but I prefer not to use that.
Mods, close or delete this, sorry. It is for the Samsung Galaxy S3
Hi,
I've got some bluetooth devices with playback controls (play/pause, FF, REW). I listen to podcasts in an app called Podkicker Pro. It's nice in that FF, REW will skip ahead or back within the same podcast rather than skipping tracks like a regular audio player, and remember my position.
The problem is the Apollo music player is the one to always receive commands from the bluetooth device. Even if Apollo isn't loaded/playing anything any use of the bluetooth controls will cause it to load and steal focus. The only way I can reliably get the controls to work in Podkicker Pro is to disable Apollo from the apps settings. Of course if I want to play music I then need to re-enable it.
Is there any way (settings, apps, patches, takser rules) to specify which app will receive the bluetooth playback commands?
Thanks!
It seems lock screen media controls only appear if there is just one music/podcast app launched (foreground or background)
Does anyone know how to fix that?

So you basically want permanent music controls even if you don't listen to anything?
I've searched for that myself in different forums but can't find anything.. best solution is to use a headset that has a play/stop button so even if there's nothing on the screenlock and I push the "play" button the last audio app starts again (either podcast or spotify).
Anyhow, if you find a permanent solution please let us know here

not really, but I guess that would be nice too
What I want is to have media controls when I'm listening to something.
Currently if I'm listening to music and listened to podcasts earlier (beyondpod is in background) media controls are not visible on the lock screen
I have to kill beyondpod to get them back.
