Sleep after X minutes when listening to music

Hi, Im using the touchflo integrated music player, its fine for my needs, it only lacks the function, where it turns off after lets say 30min. I listen to music while falling asleep...
I know gsplayer can do it...some other maybe also.
any trick is appreciated. I prefer a utility, not a different player. Thanks

I have the exact same problem. Are you also using S2U2 (slide to unlock app)? Because I first thought the problem might be there.

but how to make the earphones come out your head after 30mins... thats the real problem

@rumple: Yeah...I find myself in the morning with them around my neck
I dont care I just dont want that the phone plays the whole night.

I would suppose to try Mort Player. It has a sleep-function. You can set the time after that playback will stop. But its not as stylomatic as the original Diamond-player.

The original poster asked for an utility, not a different player.
I am in the exact same situation, I love the TouchFlo player and don't want to launch an other program and would totally like the sleep function.
It's fun because the FM radio has the feature but the TFPlayer does not.

I even tried to set the radio sleep timer and mute radio, but it doesnt stop the tf player...so it doesnt turn off

psshutxp has an option to reboot the device at a specific time... maybe this helps

That's what I use. Still no solution to damn near choking myself with the headphones by the time I wake up tho...

But does that also disables the sound to go off when the phone goes into sleep mode?

I use Mortscript to do this.
This script turns off the TF3D build in player after 60 minutes.
If interested, I can send you the script, you can download mortscript itself via here:

I would try it! Please share the script!
Thanks

Things i like to see on the TD2

Hello,
I really like my TD2 and TF3D but i'm missing some things..
I hope someone can make this or maybe it already exists..
- In the contacts tab you have at the right side the alphabet were you can select a letter to search contact, I'm wondering this is possible in the music tab, because when i want to listen to a song that starts with the " w " i need to scroll down allot and that takes some time..
- Scrolling with the zoombar, i have seen a topic about this but there wasn't a working solution
- When you're listening to music with the earplugs you can still use the volume buttons when the devices screen is turned off. It would be really helpful to go to the next song with the " hang up " button and go to the previous song with the " start call " button. Is this possible??
- Open a program by holding the start and/or back button. This does work by holding the " start call " button and the " hang up " button. But not with the start and go back button.
- I can't change my SMS receive sound in a .wav file of 4.21kb. Any solution for this? maybe some config change program
- No top curtain at the home menu, I tried some .cabs that would remove it but this didn't work, there was jus't a white bar. and there was also a white bar in the other tabs.
Thanks and Regards, Bas

Already found and tried that but it doesn't work...

To scroll really quickly through your entire list of music, try using Windows Media Player instead of the TF3D music tab. Just switch off the tab in Settings and the phone will use WMP instead. It's much, much faster than TF3D and displays your album art face on instead of skewed to one side.
As far as skipping tracks is concerned, WMP allows you to assign whatever keys you like to whatever functions you want. Personally I use stereo bluetooth headphones which have built in volume, start/pause and track skip controls.

No topcurtain

This bluetooth adapter is what I use myself. Without changing any settings on my TD2 it works perfectly, and it can change volume up / down and change track. Sound quality is far better than what I was expecting, with no hissing or crackling. And cheap as chips.

Are there any music players on Android...

That allow you to skip forward/backward 5 or 10 seconds with a single button press? (In other words, *NOT* using the progress bar.)
I tried TouchMusic but that one is pretty horrible.
Are there any others?

The lack of a substantive Music player on Android is maddening. It stems from the g1 not having a 3.5mm jack.
There isn't one. Feel free to yell from the rooftops that the music player isn't good enough.

With Rachel already announced, it would be hot if someone could make something like what SE showed as a media player.. uh?

isnt it possible a player can be brought over?

We still have to wait for the ROM to be out somewhere, so the player can be ported out of Rachel =(

I'd be shocked if the Racheal Music Player wasn't dependent of the framework.
No, someone needs to take a long hard look at the iPhone's music player, clone it, and let us all move on.

What really bothers me is the lack of an ability to rate songs and then have those ratings synced. I like to put brand new albums on my music player and then rate them 1-2 stars for immediate removal next sync, 3 stars for "further evaluation" and 4-5 stars for keepers. I can't do this with my android.......

The default music application lets you do that by holding the next/previous track button, if that's what you're looking for..

Rock on music player.
E-mail the developer of this music player. He is extremely helpful in trouble shooting bugs in his software. I would imagine he would be interested in developing new features into it as well.
His name on XDA is fabrantes.
Here is the thread about the app:

Unfortunately no. I'm looking for a precise skip forward/backward 5/10 sec with a single button press, not fast forward/rewind seeking.
I'm guessing not a single app on the market does this then?

i bet it's a 5min thing for a developer to edit this in the default Music app...

go bug normsoft makers of Pocket Tunes to port their app to android.
PTunes is the best music player back in my Palm days... they have already ported it to WinMob and Iphone

Just to throw it out there Meridian is possibly the best media player for android and the wiget it comes with is also great. I do agree that the phone should have came with a normal headphone jack instead of the stupid usb wire that you need now.

How to set mp3 as ringtone

Hello all,
I can't find a way to set a mp3 as ringtone in default music player.
Anyone know how?

Default music player doesn't allow this. Grab RingDroid from the Play Store.

you could put the mp3 in a "Ringtones" folder, then pick the file from sound in settings.

With ringdroid i can only set it as a notification,can't use it as ringtone.
And tried to copy the file to the Music folder and media/audio folder but i can't see it in my settings

Default music player does let you set the ring tone-
Just "long press" on the track and the option appears:

Is the Smartwatch any good?

Good question, I won my smart watch in a phones4u comp, I thinks it's great but not sure I would feel that way if I paid full Price.
If you set the clock display to always on the battery won't last a day. I have it set to come on when double tapping the screen. Not so handy if your struggling with the shopping!
Other than that it's pretty impressive, being able to quickly glance at notifications saves taking the phone out of your pocket constantly and mp3 control, whilst basic, is a nice touch.
It does however have a detrimental effect on your phones battery and keeps disconnecting from the Z (worked perfect on the S) maybe the next update will sort it.

It does not have a speaker so no good as a hands free, You can answer and reject calls but only any real use if your use a blue tooth headset- or as I do a blue tooth car stereo.

To set one of mp3s as a ringtone you don't need to download anything extra. Just go to the sound setting and on the top right hand side of the screen press the Music Symbol and then you'll have access to all your music on your pone.

Revert back to default ringtones folder
GO TO->Settings->Apps->all->Tap on THREE dots & reset apps preferences.
NOW GO TO-.SETTINGS->SOUND->UNDER RINGTONES&VIBRATIONS, TAP->PHONE RINGTONES->TAP SIM1/SIM2->U'LL FIND SOUND PICKER,FILE COMMANDER & SO;SELECT SOUND PICKER TO SELECT XPERIA'S PRELOADED RINGTONES,THAT'S IT!

Bluetooth autoplays sound files in car when trying to use google navigation.

Until about a week or so ago when I connected N6 to car system via bluetooth and used google maps, I got just the google nav voice. Now I start hearing media files, even ringtones and movie sound tracks. I have turned off settings for autoplay in Bluetooth settings, and try to turn off in PowerAmp. Problem is if I stop or pause the playing of the sound track in Poweramp then I lose the Nav voice as well. If I pause or stop the track playing in the car system I also lose the nav voice sound. I have flashed nothing at all between the acceptable nav-voice-only behavior and the onset of the automatic media file playing. Only thing that has happened was playstore updates including PowerAmp, and Google Maps. I did a search in this forum but found nothing about this. Driving me more nuts than usual.
Any help would be appreciated .
Seriously? Only 2 of us have this problem? Really need solution as Google navigation is basically useless until this is solved.

I've had the same problem. I haven't found a solution. I think using voice control has something to do with it.

Do you ever use Google Music in your car?
I don't know if this will be the answer or not, but if you do have it, it's possible some of these files ended up in the queue. Open up Google Music and click the three dots in the upper right. There should be an option in there to 'Clear Queue' or something like that.
Since this seems to be more or less random media files and not actually songs, I don't know if this is the fix or not, but worth giving a shot.

I just started having this problem as well, and I have no audio player app (rely on built in player of ES File exporer). If you pause the song playing, then Navigation voice works. But whenever the voice says something, the audio file it randomly selected advances that amount of time as though it's playing too

Thanks for your response. No, don't even have Google music. I use poweramp but will see if I can clear queue or something. I haven't used it in the car but that's what is playing the sound files. I went into Poweramp while the sounds were playing and paused it and the sounds stopped. But Nav voice never came back.

So strange. Have you tried using nav (walking maybe?) while not in the car? I'm wondering if you could point it to an app problem or possibly bluetooth problem. What about if you use the nav in the car without going through bluetooth?
I'd also try freezing PowerAmp while using Nav and seeing if that works.
Try to eliminate as many variables as possible and see if you can pinpoint exactly what's causing the issue, then maybe we can find out why.
Other ideas would be clearing data from PowerAmp, test, Maps, test, then Google's voice-to-text or whatever the 'voice' app is that produces the turn-by-turn, test and see if you can nail down exactly what app it is.

Thanks. It plays songs as well as ring tones - - - any sound files it can find apparently. If I pause the player, nav voice stops too. Don't know why it suddenly started doing this. I have not had this happen before in my 11 1/2 months of Nexus 6. Same rom /kernel everything since mid August with no problems until last week. May have to go into Titanium and freeze Poweramp. What idiot dreamed up forcing bluetooth autoplay on us? At least Google maps has an option to play voice over bluetooth or not. Oh, well - - the joys of Nexus.

So I Went into Titanium and froze all music player apps. No more autoplay. Tomorrow I'll see if it sticks and whether nav voice plays over bluetooth. Pita to have to do it this way.

Unfortunately I have nothing to freeze, so I still need a fix. Gonna play around with some of the Google apps and see if maybe one of them (or an update) is causing this. Will let you know
UPDATE: OK for me the issue comes up if I use OK GOOGLE to start things off. The audio time counter advances whenever Candace (name given by my wife to the Navigation voice) speaks. Counter then pauses until she speaks again, then pauses, etc.
If I start Navigation without using OK Google commands, audio time counter does nothing when Candace speaks.
So I think it's one of the google apps. I rolled back a number of them to their default version, but that didn't matter. Could be one I didn't try or even another app. Again I have no music players installed. I use the audio player of ES File Explorer as needed.

Yup. Nav voice over bluetooth is fine. Next step is to unfreeze poweramp & see if autoplay comes back. I'll have wait until next week to try it tho.
