Google Gesture Search

anyone else tried this yet. I think its amazing and makes finding someone tons easier than scrolling through people to find the exact person. kicks add if you haven't try it you should.

I totally agree i love it and its rather nice if you have about 100 contacts and tons of music and such rather nifty app
this app is awesome.
does anybody know if there is something like this app that enables text input(anywhere) instead of typing on normal keyboard ?

[Q] Skip to next track using headphones?

On an iPhone, you click the headset's button once and music plays/pauses. Double-squeeze and it skips to the next track.
Anyone able to get this to work on the Captivate? If so, what app?
I tried Captivate's default music player app and doubletwist but it can only play/pause when using the headphone button.
not possible
Yes.. it is possible.
The player 3 (aka cubed) does this. Click headphone button to play/pause... double click to skip to next song... and long click to bring the player up to the front. Works great.
(From my Captivate via XDA app)
Most of the 3rd party media players let you do this... I personally use MixZing!
Damn I really miss this. I guess 3rd party music player for me it is.

Got double-squeeze to work on "3" (cubed) app. The interface needs getting used to, but at least it works.
Thanks for the tips!
Saw yesterday while browsing some apps, there is an add on or whatever for the stock music player and headphones that allows skipping,search,etc. Didn't get around to downloading it so can't say how well it works.

B-tunes also does this. At least the single click to play/pause. Never tried the rest with it. I don't have much time with b-tunes.
Works with Pandora, as well as the Vanilla 2.1 music player (just installed the .apk for it, titanium uninstalled the galaxy s player.
in winamp, single click plays/pauses, double skips to the next track, and long squeeze brings up the winamp player.
The stock music player + stock headphones works like this. I am not sure if itll skip to the next song, but I know it will pause/play
Sorry to revive an old thread!
This is a different device but i have a similar question (cant start new thread yet).
I have Samsung Galaxy S3 and all im trying to do is skip back a track using the supplied earphones. I cant get it to work can someone help?!
You should try clicking three times. The clocks should be done in rapid succession of each other.

Thanks for reply. I have tried that but it just skips forward. Looking around the net it looks like its not possible! Seems crazy! Wonder if it will be a jellybean addition? Have found a program that you can use to program buttons but still seems like a crazy feature not to be integrated!
In my experience the click to go back is usually just one more than the clocks to go forward. Please try again. Also what brand headphones are you using?

[Q] What music apps do you use?

Just wondering what new music apps are out there. I tried a lot of the "big" music players (poweramp, 3 cubed,mortplayer, meridian, playerpro, winamp ,doubletwist..etc) and i'm kinda bored with them. I would like them to have good features (eq,album art, etc) and and a good ui but that's about it.
Only thing I really use is Google Music, other than that I use deadbeef. Though Winamp is a close second for me.
Like you, I've tried a few music apps here and there, but (not surprisingly) none even come close to what you can do on a computer.
And btw... It doesn't seem like you meant to post this in the Dev section so I'm not going to flame you for that
But you should pm deca or whoever is our mod to get this moved

It's the whole package for me. It has great themes, 5 or 6 different widgets, a custom status bar while playing music, it shows album art as the background on the now playing screen, and a ton of other stuff. It's just really well designed and very fast and smooth on my hero. I've been using it since closed beta.
It's minimalist when you first install it but slap a theme on it (win7 theme is a good free one) and go through the settings to activate the advanced features and you can't beat it. And its newer to the market with a great dev so its gonna get more features in the future.

sony music unlimited is awful

It offers a wide range of options but the application takes a good 10 seconds to start and crashes alot.
Anyone else having problems with it?
Also any good alternatives?
Currently Spotify is your best bet. There is an update for Music Unlimited on the way that integrates it completely in the Walkman app, so just a little bit more patience

Spotify unfortunalty wont download from the market as i cant find it
Also good to know about the walkman, any idea when?
Most likely with the 4.2 update, no real changes expected on 4.1. Should be somewhere before the summer.

Mediaserver

Hello,
I was looking for what uses the most of my battery, and of course it was the screen, but I also found this media center, and I have no idea what this is, or what is does. Can someone explain it to me?
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
That is just looking through your system for media, eg photos videos images etc
It normally does that for a few days after a flash. It will eventually calm down a bit.
Hmm strange because I haven't flashed my phone, just have it for a week or so

hey!
there is no solution for this everyone is inveting somthing but nothing works for most of ppl lol
+ everything about corrupted media file is a lie i totaly had no media files on phone and its still popping up i dunno wth should i do! lol
if you found a solution a real one dont hesitate telling me please!
Get rid of System Sounds (touch, key tones) and any app that uses your Album pics in it's widget, Top Contacts etc.
The sound effects engine also uses media server, so if you have keyboard sounds etc turned on that we'll do it
