Music while making a phonecall - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Is it possible to listen to music while making a phonecall? For example, when I'm having a phone conversation, sometimes I want to play some song to the other party but playing some mp3 file only produces silence. On my previous phone it was possible. Any way to make this work?

[Q] Required: Song changing App

Hi,
Everytime i need to change a song , i have to open xperia out of pouch and change, Sometimes this feels irritating
Can there be a app which changes songs in media player upon clicking call recieve button in the wired earphone....?
Not sure why your X plays songs one at a time... is it your settings that are set to play one at a time? Every player I used plays them one after another, in the order you specify or shuffle or according to playlist or whatever... I can't say I ever had to physically advance songs. I listen to mine over the bluetooth and the phone is in my bag, would feel pretty peeved if I had to dig into my bag every time I need to get to the next song, especially if I am driving. So check your settings.
I think he wants to use the handsfree/headset button to as a fastforward button so he can skip songs.
I think someone put up a mortscript of that for the HTC media player, but I'm not sure where it's posted.
In that case there is always an HTC remote handsfree. Something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-RC-E100-3-5...066569?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27b4901749

[Q] System sounds overrides (i.e. kills) other media sounds

(Sorry if this already has been posted somewhere else)
When I listen to music, an audio book or some other media, that media is muted while a notification sound (e-mail, etc) sounds. This is - of course - very annoying since the movie, audio book is interrupted (but not stopped).
On my HTC Desire the music kept playing also when a notification sound was playing.
Is there some way to make the notification sounds play at the same time as other audio streams?
Hi there,
I use PowerAMP, and this issue didn't appeared to me yet.
When I receive a message or something, I just hear the ringtone softly through my music.

Seems like the sound issue is based on how each app uses the notification sounds.
Some apps does use the same "audio-channel" as my music player, and that interrupts/pauses the music. Other apps uses some other audio-channel and notifications though those apps executes their softly through my music.
It doesn't mather what ROM etc you are using.
I just have to live with this.

[Q] Music and notifications

Couldn't find this elsewhere so, if I'm listening to music (either via Walkman app or Google Music) through my headphones and get a text, it will lower the music and play the notification tone. I wouldn't mind but if I put the phone in silent/vibrate so I can listen to my music without interruption it simply lowers the audio AND not play the notification sound which is pointless.
So basically is there anyway to stop notifications interfering with my music volume? The only suggestions I could find were silent/vibrate but like I say, doesn't seem to help. Stupid thing is if it's on loudspeaker and I have it on silent it doesn't interfere.

I don't think the Walkman app has that setting.

Is there a way to prevent music from pausing during navigation?

I was surprised that rather than attenuating music playback the One pauses music when Waze or Google Navy is announcing an upcoming turn.

Not sure on that one, it might be app specific. For instance, last time I was listening to Pandora and navigating, the phone simply turned down the volume on the music while the navigator was talking. In the HTC Music app, it muted the music but it kept playing(annoying, since I was listening to an audio book...) and in Google Play Music, it would pause it.
unremarked is correct. I use PowerAmp and theres an option to pause the music or play the notification along with the music and thats what i use. I prefer the way iOS handles it though. The music goes lower while the notification sound plays. But i haven't found a way to make it work that way.

So this morning I got into the car and continued to stream music to my device via Google Music. I needed to make an unplanned detour so I fired up Waze to calculate a quick route avoiding traffic. Much to my delight the music I was streaming attenuated when Waze spoke, just like it used to do on my iPhone. I was so jazzed and my kids were probably wondering why. So at the next light I switched to the HTC player and no dice. Same behavior as before, muting/pausing music whenever Waze spoke directions. Finally I decided to try Pandora (which I haven't been able to stream to my car in the week I've had the One) and not only did Pandora play through the car speakers, it too attenuated when Waze spoke. I haven't tried this with Google Nav.
So what's changed since yesterday? Well I booted into Safe Mode (per HTC rep's suggestion) to troubleshoot a bluetooth volume issue and that didn't do anything other than remove some of my folders on one of my home panels. That bluetooth volume issue is a separate issue and it was not resolved through Safe Booting the device. Also, it appears there was an update to Google Music so that may have resolved the music pausing issue. Either way, I'm not sure what I did or what happened to the device to fix this behavior but I'm very happy to experience this expected behavior between music (except for the HTC native player) and nav.

Play media while Incall

Hi there,
i need some help here.
I want tasker to pick up a call and play a media file so that the caller can hear it...
Im able to make tasker to pick up the call, but the phone mutes then everything and the media file is played, but can not be heared...
any idea how to solve this?
Thanks
If you're using Tasker's inbuilt Play Music action, you can try changing the output stream and see if that works.
