[Q] Need some guidance... - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all and thank you for looking… was hoping to get some help with creating a Tasker profile. What I would like tasker to do is go to the player app of the song thats playing. So when I get into my car, bluetooth connects and whatever song/player that was used last starts playing again. I typically only use PlayerPro and Spotify. I tried to create a variable that checks if one of the com files was running but that didn't work. Im pretty much a beginner at this but understand a little about variables but not a programmer by any means. Either way can't seem to get it going. Can anyone out there help me out please?
Thanks in advance.

bt works then quits

I've been searching for an hour and can't seem to find the answer.
I have a cingular 8125 and a moto ht820 headset. It's paired and begins to play through the headset but then the voice speed dial comes up and the audio reverts to the 8125 speaker. When it works, it sounds great.
I've found plenty of threads on bt disconnecting on resume but none for my situation.
If it's a .cab install, I think I've understand how to do that.
Will someone either tell me the fix or, at the least, point me to the fix via thread.
Thank you in advance,
Porter
Edit: It's been a few days since the original post. I can't believe , as big as this site is, that noone can answer my plea. Oh well, I'll keep reading and hunting. Hopefully I'll bump into the answer. It seems that I saw it when I first came here but I didn't know that I'd need it so I didn't save it. Thanks for looking.
I think I may have my problem on the run. I looked on the Wiki and found a FAQ "How can I use my Bluetooth headset as Wired Headset?".
It tells how to make bt use media player instead of voice dial. I don't want to use media player, i want to use pocket player.
Right now it says to enter this path in the registry:
"Path"="\Windows\wmplayer.exe"
I've installed pocket player onto my mini sd card. What path would I use? On my mini sd the path is \program files\conduits\pocket player\pocketplayer.exe
What would my path be in the registry?
Also, which registry editor should I use?
Thanks

This worked. With media player anyway. I'm listening through my HT820 right now. Hooray! I used regedit82.exe I want to be able to use pocket player still because of the bookmarks. I listen to 3.5 hour mp3's (the lex and terry podcast) so I need bookmarks.
If I haven't been clear enough, tell me and I'll try again.
Thanks
Edit: Pocket Player is now working through the HT820 headset just by my having entered media player in the registry as stated above. This is what I've been wanting since I got this phone. Now I can start learnig the other stuff at a slower pace.
Thanks
Where can I find "regedit82.exe" for HT820/8125 Music Marriage
I have the same problem you faced pairing my HT820 with my Cingular 8125. I haven't been lucky so far in finding a copy of regedit82.exe to edit my registry settings. For the moment, I plan on using Media Player for my Mp3's. Any suggestions on where to locate a copy of regedit82.exe? Also, I'm a novice at this, so would you mind reiterating the steps to make things work. Thks in advance HW

As far as I remember, the voice dialer/media player registry edit that you are wanting to do will stop the plays for 2 seconds out of the headset then reverts to the speaker problem.
I guess I can't figure out how to send an attachment on the new forum. Just do a search on regedit820.exe That's the one I used. I must've left out the zero. Sorry.
I still don't have anything figured out really. Go to the WIKI FAQ and search for "How can I use my Bluetooth headset as Wired Headset?".
Since what I listen to is mono, I've started using a bluetooth earpiece instead of the ht820. Others have it figured out but not me.
There is a good thread that has ROUNDUP in the title. Search for it. It's a good starting point.
Good luck.
No Results Google regedit820.exe or Wikipedia FAQ ;-|
Thanks for getting back with me so quickly PorterX. Since Googling for regedit820.exe has so far returne "0" results ;-| Would you mind please emailing it to me through either mailto:[email protected] or mailto:[email protected] Also, when I queried Wikipedia's FAQ for How can I use my Bluetooth headset as Wired Headset? Not even the ROUNDUP thread came up. I must not be living right ;-( I appreciate your continued willingness to help. Hope to hear from you again soon. /HW
Note: Maybe I'm searching on the wrong Wiki? I've be using Wikipedia's FAQ (wikipedia.org). Should I instead be searching through EmacsWiki, AtomWiki, UbuntuWiki, EnterpriseWiki perhaps?

Midomi - song detection for diamond?

Hi, my friend just got his Samsung Omnia few days ago, and he was showing me a program called Midomi, he put the software on, put his phone next to the radio and after few seconds there was text on the screen - the artist and the song! I didn't even know that sound detection is so advanced that the software can recognize a song from few seconds of hearing it.
i tried to search the web for a install file but couldn't find one, so i was thinking is there anyway to get it work on diamond, since omnia uses wm too and i think that the software doesn't need any superhardware to recognize the music, just a regular cellphone's mic.
im sorry if i put this message to a wrong place, and thanks in advance for any info you might have.
there was a program on here the other day that did the
same thing.dont remember the name but its here if you search.
damn i can't find it... please, anyone... im so lonely, help me

hi!
i'm very interested in music recognition, too. untill now, i've been using musicid, which is quite good. but the only problem is you need an internet conection (wifi, gprs, 3g...) to get a recognition. what i'm dreaming of is a music recognition software, which can record the song to identify, and then LATER identifiy it.
example: you're driving in your car and you're listening to your favorite radio station. you don't have a data plan, so you're not online.
now they're playing a cool song. you just might start the music recognition software, record a few seconds. later, when you're home again, you connect your phone to wifi and let the software identify the recorded song over internet.
musicid can't do this. what about midomi? or do you know another software capable of this?
thanks and have a nice day
Why not just use the built in recorder then play it back when you get access to the net

hmm, sounds a bit uncomfortable, but i'll give it a try when i'm at home.
Hi Mr Pink, I can confirm that Midomi works brilliantly on my HTC Touch Diamond (HTC WWE 2.03 rom) using Wi-Fi internet access.
Try my version on my signature.
No need to modify the registry for HSPA/3G/GPRS.
You can install on Device/Storage Card/Internal Storage/RAMdisk as your choice.

Ringtone and ".mid, .amr, .3gp, .mp4" files not working

Hi all,
I am using Elfin for past 4 months.
Earlier i used to put my own ringtones in folder "/Application Data/Sounds" and they worked.
But for past 1 month, no external ringtone put in "/Application Data/Sounds" is working. whenever i set my ringtone through Settings->Phne->Ring tone, it automatically sets it back to Ring-WindowsMobile.
I tried putting ringtones in /windows folder. but still i can only see those in Settings->Phne->Ring tone list and not able to set it.
somebody please help
------------------------
Whenever i try to open any ".mid", ".amr", ".3gp" or ".mp4" file, Windows media player open and displays error msg
"No Combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection"
'.mp3' and '.wmv' files play well in Windows media player
somebody please help
------------------------
Hi Kaplesh Patil,
1. Did you install any new softwares in your device after which this issue came.
2. Did you check your .mp3, .amr, .3gp, .mp4 file extensions and properties.
3. How do your rip those file. Do you use any specific software to do it.
4. If possible can you attach one of your not working file.
Hi HDR87
1. I keep on installing softwares. so its difficult for me to guess after installing which software this problem has started
2.Did you check your .mp3, .amr, .3gp, .mp4 file extensions and properties
???? what do u mean by check, i mean how to check.
3. i usually rip .mp3 ringtones by SoundForge. but what i am saying is all same files used to work fine before. but now they have stopped working.
4. Even built-in (factory) .mid, .amr and .mp4 also not playing with WMP.
5. to aggravate my problem, now even built in ringtones like Ring-WindowsMobile have also stopped ringing
It sounds to me like you have something you installed that is causing conflict. You will have to try to figure out what it was that you installed- Try by trial and error remove an app you installed see if it works and so on. Start with apps that are related to the devices audio capabilities - I have read about several people having problems with SRS WOW application.
Note that if you installed an app that created a Registry change, it is possible that even uninstalling the app may not change the Registry values back to normal and if this is what has caused the problem than only a hard reset would work (unless you can figure out which Registry values you need to change and what you need to change the values to.
Sorry I can't be of much more help; however, if you figure out that it is a registry value change and you figure out which values need to be changed, just let us know which ones and we will check what our values are set at so you can make the changes manually.
@ hotrod101
I am currently exploring my registry... If i figure out the values to be modified, i will share here, so anybody having similar problem might be able to use it

Dude - you shouldn't be hijacking other peoples threads to ask your question. Use the Q&A Section and start your own thread or even better do some searching. This question has been asked before and even made it into the hall of shame.
To answer your question: If you are going to put a song or a long sound to message tone the whole song or tone will keep playing until it reaches it's end. (it's not like ringer wich is instructed to end as soon as you answer the call. Don't use a long tone or song. If you want to use a song, make sure you edit the song to make it just a short clip of it.

Phone screen off/standby even whilst streaming

Hi guys
One of my biggest niggles with this phone is that when I am streaming music using something like Open Web Radio with TCPMP, the stream breaks when I the unit is left unattended and effectively goes to sleep. Is there any way to have the unit recognise that streaming music is actually an activity that should prevent the unit hibernating?
Perhaps I am doing something wrong but some advice would be welcome.

Thanks also for this reply. I am having a devil of a time finding a reg editor. Don't suppose you have a link. Searching XDA brings up so many hits but can't actually find what I need.
Personally i use resco file explorer and reg editor.
There are free ones out there I've heard good things about "total commander" i think its free too, you should get a download link by googleing it.
