A couple of specific questions... - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have a couple of questions to help me choose between Note5 and N6P - any help gratefully received.
Mono audio - This is a deal breaker for me. I'm deaf in one ear so like to listen to music in mono otherwise I miss the right sound channel. Samsung phones (like iPhones) have an accessibility option for mono audio. Does the N6P have this? Can't seem to find an app that does the same - seems to need to be a system option?
Audio out through USB - My Note 3 can output audio through a special USB cable which I use in my car - does the new USB support this?
Ant+ connectivity - I use this on my Note3 to download exercise data from my Garmin devices - Not sure if N6P has it?
Variable auto brightness?
Thanks

Routing Audio to Phone Speaker

Hello everyone:
I'm developing an application which is playing audio and recording at the same time. The problem is that if I don't use earphones/headsets the output audio feeds the input and so on, so it's not possible to go this way for a long time.
I am willing to play the audio through the same speaker that the PHONE application does it which is located in the front of most devices and reduces the feedback of the audio.
I have had a look at audio routing the way BAG0 device does with Bluetooth headsets; however it doesn't seem to work for the purposes I need.
Does anyone have a clue?
Thank you so much in advance,
mindless

[Q] Mono output through 3.5mm headphones?

hi all
I know you can buy adapters for 3.5mm headphones to combine the left and right stereo into a combined mono output for both ear buds.
...surely, there must be some software for Android that can do this for me without an adapter? Work are happy for me to listen to music but require me to keep an ear free to hear colleague questions or calls - but with one headphone, I lose half the stereo.
Anyway of making both channels go into one - without the need for an adapter?
It seems to be a known issue. I agree that the accessibility options in Android are lacking and i hope you get this soon.

Thanks for the link mate; I trawled Google before posting this as I couldn't find an answer anywhere. Evidently, I didn't look hard enough.
I've sent an email to the creators of PowerAMP for Android; apparently their next release will have a balance feature and it'd be nice if they solved the problem with a 'mono' button too...
An option would be to use a bluetooth headset and if your phone is a2dp then download one of the mono bluetooth apps from the market to use it to stream music.
Understand you asked for the wired but not everyone is aware of the other options they may have.

Disable Speakers

I have the Galaxy Tab 7.7 (p6800).
When I have my stereo bluetooth headset connected, the sounds for Phone Ringtones, Notifications and the Text-to-Speech reader (reads your texts to you) all come out of the tablet speaker and the bluetooth headset.
I'm looking for a way to disable the tablet speakers either manually or automatically when connected to bluetooth.
Would placing a bounty of say $50 be enough to be worth someones time to create an App that does this? If so, is there a process I need to follow to set up the bounty?
Thanks
Is $50 enough to develop a custom application?
No, but it would be a nice reward, and may get someone thinking about a profitable application they could submit to the Android market.
Turning off the internal speakers when connected should be part of the Bluetooth driver options.
Good place to look would be Android Market - look up "Bluetooth Switcher", and maybe contact the developer. That app looks like mono only currently.

Note: This seems to be a problem that some people see when using Wired Headphones, as well
Issue 16667: Notifications are played through external speaker when headphones are plugged in (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16667)
Would that be driver related also?

Boost Bluetooth sound quality/loudness???

HI All,
I only ever use my I9505 for Bluetooth audio. There is plenty of apps out there that boost the sound quality and loudness for headphone jacks and the phones speaker itself, but i am finding it hard to find any that deal with Bluetooth audio...
I currently connect to:
1) Bluetooth for my car - for music and calls
2) Bluetooth for my headphones i use at the gym - for music only
Any suggestions on how to get some better sound quality / loudness?
I currently use Player Pro music player - which has a DSP Sound Equaliser pack - but i am not too sure on how to fine tune that... It seems that the quality drops dramatically when i incease the volume too much?
Cheers
Not aware that any apps can help with quality, although there may be some that can help with Volume like Volume+ (although I'm not sure if they will affect bluetooth).
To increase sound quality I would recommend getting an Apt-X enabled bluetooth headphone/receiver (I use the HS3000 which has Apt-X, is relatively inexpensive and quite versatile since you can plug in whichever earphones/headphones you want or even connect it to speakers/stereos via a 3.5mm-3.5mm cable). The Sony one you have doesn't have Apt-X so is not able to take advantage of the S4s Apt-X capability.

Real stereo recording from an USB audio interface

Hi, I've the 6.0.1 Android version (rooted).
I have a Behringer U-Control UCA222 audio interface and a OTG adapter. I would like to make real stereo recordings. But the problem is, apps always get the left channel only, even in they have the stereo option for recording (result: dup left channel). The only app that managed to record in real stereo was n-Track Studio, that lets choosing the real input (not the "interal-camcorder-default" ones). I chose the first option in the list with two channels and voilĂ , real stereo. But that app doesn't fit my needs, I would love to use any light one with stereo option... if there is a real stereo input.
So, my question is: is there any way to "tell" Android that I want a real stereo input when this USB audio interface is plugged in? That would be awesome... Or that would be very complicated?
Thanks for your time.
