Playing and changing songs without touching the phone? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
I use my phone for music in my car, I am wondering of what apps I can use to achieve not having to touch my phone to play, pause and change songs. Something that's voice activated. What can I do to get this ? I was thinking of using tasker to launch the voice app once the cord is plugged in, but how else can I do it to change songs?

Spotify question

I got my AHD yesterday. Had wifi problems at first but I seem to have figured that out. Now I'm having problems with spotify. It fc's like crazy, will freeze up and stop playing. And especially if I use the lock screen controls. Can anyone else test and see how it acts on your phone? I'm wondering if it's my phone or the AHD in general.

I have the exact same problem :/
Except it's on my phone.
It started after the new radio spotify update.
Just because I wrote this and I rebooted my phone it seems like it works again ^^

There are a few apps that probably haven't been tested on the AHD yet. Spotify and Hulu for example.
Until the company tests them, there will probably be issues.
My Spotify basically doesn't work on my AHD.

Yea its pretty tricky. I found that if I get it to play and immediately leave the app it'll usually continue to play through my list. As soon as I try to select songs or do any basic action in the app it just freezes up and fc's.

Sense TV

I haven't seen anyone talking about Sense TV so I thought I would start a conversation.
If you have not tried it out yet, DO IT!
Sense TV is awesome. It takes you through a guide to setup your TV provider (Many to choose from), you TV, cable/sattelite box, and even you AV receiver.
You tell it your favorite shows and I think it even learns your viewing behavior to suggest things that are on or are coming on soon. I can completely control everything with my TV Dish box, and AV receiver.
When you open the app it will tell you some of the shows on now or you can go to the guide. The really cool thing is you just click on the show and it changes the channel for you. So sweet!
Anyone else loving this App?
Silly but it's probably one of my favorite things. I've used it all weekend with my tvand Directv setup.

Although it's awkward getting into some other, deeper options of my surround system or cable box, if I can at all, it IS kind of awesome!
I especially love the channel guide. little icons of TV shows you can just press and be whisked away to that channel. That is really handy! If Zeebox could be updated to incorporate the IR blaster on this think, think of the possibilities!
I was amused by the addition of the it and thought "that might be cool in a few months when it's left to mature".. But its pretty damn cool now!
kudos, HTC!

My TV remote recently bit the dust and I was in the process of looking for a replacement. But....not now!!! I can't adjust sensitive TV settings such as color tweaks and stuff but, I can do all the normal functions from my phone. Even change inputs and stuff.
This app helped my out a ton for sure. Now can someone please bring me my popcorn?
This is the shirt!!! It's awesome, wish it gets full epg though for all channels

will it control the channels through a dvr while controlling the volume of a home theater receiver at the same time? very cool if so, we use a Logitech remote right now, but would be nice having a second remote so to speak

Lol are you joking? I don't want to be trying this and it was only a joke. And if so how?

Xbox is a no go from what I see. Unless of course I totally missed the how...
I guess a developer could maybe tie this app in with the smartglass one in some fashion and then boom!!!! Not sure if that is even possible but it would be cool I guess.

It will be one of the choices when you set up the remotes if it does.

Odd. It works for me. I used it with netflix last night watching Lost(I was slow on the draw with this show). But it should work fine. Try unplugging the PC and then setting up another remote.

I can also now confirm that it does turn my xbox on and off and has navigation. Still messing around with it but it works as described above so far...
Nice!!!
Guys I work in the av field as well as home security. It can control anything that has ir if you have the orig remote. You can program the buttons with any ir code, The iphone needs a separate ir blaster and app which is like 80$. Talk about a huge bonus.
It's such a small feature, but yet so incredibly useful. I absolutely love it and have tossed my other remotes in a drawer. It did take me a minute to figure out how to browse the tv guide feature, but once I did it was my new favorite app.

Android "Siri" version?

Hi there. I am throughougly enjoying my Xperia Z (an upgrade from iPhone 5). The only thing I miss from iPhone was that while I was riding my bike, I would be able to speak to Siri and request her to play specific songs or artists for me on the go. I can't seem to get this feature to work on Android.
What I'm looking for: A feature that with the press of a button on a handset/headset enables you to talk to your phone and request it to play a song.
Can this be done?
Thanks.
Does Voice Search do it?

Plus one for Google now Def plays songs, videos,answers questions,checks calender,sets reminders,makes calls,emails,texts,really everything siri does but not as much personality plus the cards are useful and it seams as each update improves it

I use Robin - the Siri Challenger. Check the play store for it.
Thanks so much for your feedback, everyone. I recall having issues getting the android default voice assistant to play me music on the go. Can anyone 100 % confirm any voice assistant (default or otherwise) being able to playback music by vocal command?

I don't believe the Gear can do that. It has to go thru your phone via Bluetooth. Down the road, but non SMS or anything that needs WiFi or internet. I can use it for searching in Root Explorer and things on the Gear.

Im going to try pushing tablet talk to my gear after work tonight. I use it to send sms from my WiFi only tablet - it connects to the phone over bluetooth basically makes the call/message functionality of the gear work on a tablet with the exception of you cant use the tablet as a bluetooth handsfree like the gear.

I fixed it by downloading older version of tablet talk apk. For some reason the newer version crashes. I am using tablet talk version 1.7 which you can easily locate on Google. It works without any issues. Hope it helps.

[Q] Trigger phone apps from watch?

Sorry if this has been asked or answered before. I've googled and searched XDA with no luck. I may just not know the terms to use.
I'm wondering if there's any way to start apps or shortcuts on the phone from the watch? Has anyone been able to do this?

i haven't found a way, but do you mind sharing with us what are you trying to achieve?
I'd like to be able to trigger tasker tasks that control music around the house, trigger playlists, use Google voice search on the phone from the watch etc. I also have lots of contextual triggers set up on my phone that would be interesting to respond to on the watch.

Are you using tasker? You can start phone tasker tasks (which I guess can simply be apps as well) from the watch that way?

You need the plugin Autoremote (full version, not the lite) There's a thread on how to use it. Search for Autoremote.
