Problem with MortPlayer Audio books

Hi,
I was using MortPlayer Audio books with my Note 2 to listen audio books.
Unfortunately it seems that the program is not working well with my Note 3. When pressing the Play/start button , nothing
happens. The icon changes from pause to start but the player doesn't start. I have to rewind or to fast forward manually to be able to start the player button. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the program but it doesn't help.
Anybody else is using Mortplayer Audio books?
I like this program because you can choose a specific folder to listen to your podcasts. it doesn't scan your entire device
and you can add bookmarks to your files .
Thank you,
Daniel

me too
Hi - just installed themer and same here. I'm on a huawei honor 3.
Can not live without good old morty.
I think i'm going to try add a separate wiget for it, assuming there will let me. Did you know it comes with one (separate download from the store). I use media untils my self and create a fancy one using zooper.

Mort Play/Pause Issue
I am also having this issue on my new Note 3 running touchwiz 4.3
I have experienced the above issue with MortPlayer, MortPlayer AudioBook and the widgets.
Pressing the Play button sometimes causes it to change to the pause button but play back does not begin, play clock also does not begin to count. Vise versa also occurs. Quickly cycling Play/Pause seems to cause this more frequently. re-reading the ID3 tags seems to temporarily fix the issue but it quickly returns.
Has anyone had any success resolving this issue or have contacted mort? A lot of these apps haven't been updated in over a year.
-Hype
EDIT: I've noticed if you are deliberate with you Play/Pause pushing (wait approximately 3s between pushes) it seems to work consistently well.

Mortplayer fix
I am having the same problems, I have found clicking the back 15 second button after play always gets it going but still a pain Mort your the man hope this gets fixed.
Well after trying to install it again after uninstalling it I moved on to Smartplayer
I must say I really like the look of widget ifI could just hide that x in the corner but I guess it serves a purpose.

Mortplayer Audiobooks - no longer playing full track before moving on
Hi Mort, or anyone else that knows how to fix a problem I've started having.
For no good reason that I'm aware of, I've noticed that Mortplayer (music and audiobook versions) has started skipping to the next track before fully playing the next one. I've noticed I'm missing about 18 seconds.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem, or why it might have started? Other music players are able to play the full audio file, so it isn't a problem with my mp3 audiobooks (text to speech fanfiction).

How to get the most out of a 1 button headset

As someone who listens to music very often on my phone, I have always been jealous that iPhone users have so many choices of 3 button headsets that not only control media, but volume as well. There are some 3 button headsets that work for some android devices, but as far as I know, none of them work with the moto x. Personally I am looking for my headset to have 5 functions:
-play/pause
-next track
-previous track
-volume down
-volume up
I have recently figured out how to find a setup that achieves this with minimum inconvenience. There are many apps in the playstore that add more functionality to 1 button headsets, but they have 2 issues that I have have seen.
1) they allow the user at most 4 functions
2) they break the lock screen music controls that were introduced in ICS.
Problem #1 can be fixed by an app I recently discovered that allows you to program up to 5 clicks on your headset and therefore allows me the 5 functions I'm looking for. The app can be found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shengande.degausslabs
There is unfortunately no way to fix the 2nd problem. There are 3rd party music widgets that can be placed on the lock screen, but they are inconsistent at best with google play music. The work around I have found is to use The app Nils lockscreen notification: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget
This app can display the notifications you allow it to over the lock screen as a widget. I am only allowing it access to music right now, but you can allow it access to any notification. Now when I listen to music, my lock screen looks like:

I know there are other solutions if you're rooted or on a custom rom , but this will work stock. Hopefully this information is useful to those who want 3 button functionality on a 1 button headset.

The actual media player can have a great effect on that functionality as well. I use GoneMAD which has options that allow me to create whatever I want using just a 1-button remote with a variety of button presses/sequences, no extra app required.

True. I was going on the assumption that most people use Google play music, but I'm sure many are still using others.

Which radio is this?

From my research it seems to be similar to the ownice c300. It is running android 4.4.4. It lists having a quad core processor, but cpu-z shows it as having a Cortex A7 1ghz running on two cores. It says two cores are turned off.
Is there anyway to update this, change the launcher to a joying or malaysk style launcher? I cant figure out how to remove apps once added to the home screen, and I cant remove the big widget. It is also difficult to go into settings menus as the language changes to chinese. I cant figure out how to get to recovery either.It is pretty quick. It boots very fast. most apps except for google play music work pretty well.
I can't find much information about the mcu or how to update it.

I can't remove this widget or any app icons on other pages. I also cant change the clock to am/pm format when showing digital instead of analog.

i have the exact same unit,been wandering around to get custom rom since mine can't seem to run google services..
which means not on playstore buat youtube app cant run as well..
is yours only cant play google music or all google apps as well?

Other google apps work well. It seems to only be Google Play music that crashes. Youtube and Maps are working great.
Pandora, Iheart music, the play store, everything else seems to work alright. It also boots pretty quickly.

Completely disabling power saver

Is there a way to completely disable power saver? I think it's been causing my connection issues with my ZenWatch 2 and now Pandora is closing whenever the screen is off. I did done research A's the issue I'm having with Pandora odd usually caused by power management apps. It's getting rather annoying because this doesn't happen with Google Play Music.

maybe this will help you

That worked flawlessly. Thanks. I thought disabling deep sleep would prevent the phone from going into deep sleep

FWIW, I have a ZTE Blade V8 Pro with an identical power management app. I frequently use Castbox, Xiaalive Pro, Neutron, and Google Play Music in the car. When I had power saving on with these audio apps, they would keep playing fine with screen off. However, if you paused them or had other apps in the foreground, it would cause massive headaches with player controls disappearing and having to relaunch the apps from scratch after a screen off. Also causes headaches with my IP Camera and Microphone app I use for a cloud PC. My observation is if your apps are doing something perceptible like playing music or sounding alarms, the power management leaves them alone. Other background tasks and suspended apps don't get the same treatment.

BMW e90 10.25inch screen - android 9 (Help customize it!)

Hi all,
This is my first thread in android head units. And it was a long time ago I was busy with custom roms on phones (Sony xperia) :crying:
But I just bought and installed a Android 9.0 BMW e90 unit in my car

After a week I thought the software should become much better to really enjou the device.
So I make up a list and maybe with the help off others I can get them fixed with apps or actual coding.
- idrive button should work in apps like Google maps/Spotify it only works in the Apps the softwarebuilder created
- when I am in main UI and use idrive button I cannot move from big tiles to sidebar. And if I am on sidebar I can't move to big tiles?
- when I open phone menu my sounds from Spotify or any other music app goes silent. Even when there is no intend to make a call
- you should be able to progam idrive buttons. Like opening Spotify if I push idrive media button.
- Configure steering wheel buttons (example: Speech button on steering wheel I want to launch Google assistent) < now my phone and car are answering on "ok google" at the sime time
- can't the unit switch audio input? Like when I listen FM radio on BMW unit. And android unit receives call it will change input to aux?
- Android is last updated on 2018! That's pretty long time ago. Can we update this ourselves?
Maybe some topic are really easy to answer with it's not possible or there are already apps to do this. Let me know and on each topic I will give a status/update. Hope you can give me input otherwise I would love to get help on how to do this myself. Or where to look.

I would also like to see more activity regarding the BMW units!

Thnx, My first review is that's a lot off talk about latest version but nothing about changing things yourself.
If we wait on our suppliers with updates it would take years. Haha mine said after the weekend I have update.. and then still it was the same haha.

I also have this headunit. Works pretty well except for navi instructions, when google maps speechs the background music is pretty garbled and with a lot of noises. Any hint?

I have the same system, but for an E93 (8,8"). I also had these noises on google maps, but after playing with some settings (under factory settings, aux, rear camera etc.) the noises stopped. maybe it was just a reboot after that.
BTW: I have tried different apps from the playstore to reboot the device directly, without success. Does anyone have a solution that?

For rebooting without root install a Terminal emulator and enter "reboot", all ready made apps require root.
For my rooted device i`m using "Simple reboot" from Play store.

not a solution, but a workaround: boot the unit, start the proprietary mediaplayer, close it, then une google maps and/or your music player. Works like a charm and no background noise. You can set a tasker profile to do the procedure.
