I have a tv with chromecast in my bedroom. I can wake up the tv from standby by starting a cast.
It would have been really nice to be able to use the chromecast as an alarm clock waking up the tv, sound an alarm and showing information like weather, a to do list for the day and so on.
Is this possible ?
Idk but that sounds dope hopefully it is. If I had the skill to build something like this I definitely would.

There is a app called wake me up cast which will wake you up, while the tv is in standby mode. Maybe thats something for you

I use my phone as a wake up reminder, but since I flashed my rom to a newer version, the alarm always gets played over my stereo bluetooth headset instead of over the phone speaker. This is the first time I've had this happen to me when flashing a rom, so I was curious if there was some registry entry or tweak that will make it be exempt from having its audio sent to my headset.

How about just turning off Bluetooth when you are not using it like when you are sleeping? It isn't doing anything but eating up the battery any way.
Hope that helps.

This would not work as I have alarms in the day too. It also plays my ring tones over the bluetooth.
hey
just updated the Chromecast app with the "cast to screen" mirroring function. I'm not getting any sound with this enabled, on the tv, or the phone. The video is fine though.
I have an Htc One M7.
Any ideas?
thanks

Yea same here. I plugged in some headphones in hope that maybe the sound would come through but it didn't.
try unplugging/replugging your CC. has worked for me when audio drops out.
I thought I wasn't getting audio either, but turns out it does work for me...
Reboot Chromecast and make sure your Media volume is up before you start Screen Casting, also turn up your TV volume - it seems the screen casting volume is low, even if Media volume is at/near max.
Worked in my case at least.

Unplugging and re-plugging in the Chromecast did the trick. Works great!
Thanks

I had something plugged into my "headphone" jack of my TV.. (cause audio sucks on the LCD tv.) That took a while to figure out.
Doh!
I have not yet had this tablet for a week, and already I have discovered a few problems with it, that I am hopeful can be fixed.
1. No audio when making calls in Viber. The receiver can hear me fine, but I cannot hear them, or even the ringing for that matter.
2. Unable to answer incoming calls in Viber. I slide the circle to the right to answer, but nothing happens.
3. Pandora Radio stops streaming after about 30 seconds of the screen turning off, or the current song ending.
4. Slacker Radio stops streaming after about 30 seconds of the screen turning off, or the current song ending.
Regarding issues 3 and 4, I do have WIFI set to stay on during sleep and the WIFI optimization is turned off.
Anybody else having these issues?
Any suggestions to try and eliminate them?
I don't know about 1 and 2, but 3 and 4..
Yes, not only pandora, but also spotify. I think there is an issue with deep sleep and streaming. I almost want to say that you need to stream out bluetooth while connected to wifi to have it happen a lot.
The workaround for me was to activate one of the daydream modes. I think this only helps if your plugged in (charging). However, no more music dropouts.

I agree. It is deep sleeping when it should not be. I will give your solution a try and see it it works for me.

Have you disabled the smart saving features completely? I had an issue where it was losing a connection with a different app, and it improved when I disabled the smart saver feature.

I was just using google play music and was streaming from my collection the other day and did not have this problem, I don't normally use the two services that you listed. I may try one later today or tomorrow to see if I can reproduce what you are seeing...
I am chasing a problem with the tablet becoming non-responsive to the touch screen occasionally. Typically it does still respond to the buttons when this happens and I can push the power button to turn the screen off and then back on to make the screen get responsive again. I have started removing certain software to see if it causes my issue to go away...
Intel android seems to still have a few "teething" issues however my ME572C sure is a nice little tablet...
Added later:
I have a set of apps that I have yet to narrow down the cause but after removing them my screen response issue appears to be gone...
I just tested Slacker Radio and I have in the Power Saver app disabled power saving completely and did not disconnect. I am running the latest Asus software on my ME572C which ends in 31.
Has anyone had problems with the volume rocker. I just got mine yesterday and it will turn the volume up, just not down... Weird. But other than that everything is good and the lollipop update rocks!
Does any body know if there is a way or an app that will allow me to play music via Bluetooth but still have the alarm come through the phone speaker? Here's the situation. I like to listen to music while I sleep but my phone is also my alarm clock. so if my ear-buds come out during sleep "and they usually do" the alarm is coming through the Bluetooth ear-buds and not the phone. I'm a pretty light sleeper so the vibrations have been waking me up so far. But id really like to find a solution to this. Seems like there should be a way especially if your rooted.

It's a long shot, but have you tried Alarm Clock Xtreme? It has the option to force sound to speakers when headphones are plugged in. Not sure if this works with bluetooth but you can give it a shot. Best of luck.

While not an ideal solution for everyone I have two ideas:
I switched a while back to using Timley In doing so I tried to recreate your scenario: bluetooth headphones listening to music and the alarm goes off. It rang in the earphones AND on the phone at normal phone alarm volume.
However I know switching apps can be a lot to ask of someone so my next idea is to use either Tasker or Automagic to have bluetooth turn off at a certain time which would force your phone to play the alarm. However if your bluetooth headphones are good at blocking sound, may be a no go...
Good question. I'll keep thinking.
Thanks. I'm gonna check into all those apps tomorrow.

Ok I decided to try out Timley first and I love the way the app is set up. But the alarm only came through the headphones. Is there a setting for that? I didn't see one.

Well that is strange. The only modifications I made to my system image are ad-blocking and xposed. I havent tweaked any audio anything so I should have a stock experience and had the alarm play on both headset and phone speaker.
It is bluetooth right? Not hardwired?

Hello everybody,
First of all : Happy new year !
I own a Pixel 4 XL running a stock ROM with the bootloader still locked (I actually don't flash my phones anymore since I'm a team Pixel member haha). I use Android Auto very often because of my job.
Here is my problem : Since the december update (I guess) when I disconnect my phone from my car (using the cable & bluetooth), and put my phone in my pocket, the song from the last music suddenly runs very loud (max volume) even if I manually stop the music player beforehand. I tried a lot of things to stop this problem that seems very random : I cleared the YT Music cache, I disabled motion sense gestures, I even did a factory reset but the problem is still here.
I have to think every time I get out of my car to low the volume before this bug comes out..
Have you encountered that problem ? Do you guys have any idea that could help me ?
Thanks in advance !
Nobody can help me ?
I don't know, what does team Pixel say?
I don't think there is a solution and you aren't alone. I don't use YT for audio, but all music apps have the same pain in the ass behavior because they don't close automatically and most often you have to use "recents" to kill them off. This is the same with Spotify and Pandora. I find myself having to close AA itself sometimes because it stays open long after I've left the car. Sometimes 20 minutes later I look down and notice it is still running. If it can start up automatically when BT connects, or even when "hearing" driving noises like the engine, the reverse should be true. You turn the car off, unplug, exit the vehicle WHY does it continue running? Not one of the top 3 music apps will kill itself.
Thanks for answering !
I actually didn't know anyone else would have the same problem so this is reassuring me hah
Yes that is so annoying having your phone waking up with music with the volume toaximum whereas 10 minutes ago you thought you did everything to shut it up
I think I've had this happen literally once and I do use YouTube Music. Have never had it replicated. Is it still happening with the happened with the January update?

Unfortunately, yes it still happens despite the last update. The only thing that seems help me avoiding the problem is when I manually stop the music in my car before unplugging the phone. Then, for safety I put the media volume to the minimum so if the music starts again in my pocket, I won't hear it.

Interesting, so you're connected via Bluetooth to your car, turn off the ignition, and it'll still be playing? At that point, that's when my YouTube Music pauses.

Actually no. I plug my P4XL to my car through USB then it connects via Bluetooth and Android Auto runs on my car's screen. Everything work fine. When I'm arrived, I unplug my phone, turn of the ignition and the sound normally stops and YTM pauses. But something like 10 minutes later, when I'm far from the car, the last song I was playing in the car restart through the phone with absolutely no interaction on it.

I have a similar problem. I drive a lot throughout the day and Stream SiriusXM on my Phone through the BT on my work van. Very often, I get out and within an unspecified period of time, Sirius will start playing, full volume for no reason. It's as annoying as the Google Assistant suddenly responding to something I said without me using the OK Google prompt.
The fix is to close Sirius and swipe away the player controls in the status bar dropdown

Thanks for your feedback ! I don't have the Google Assistant problem you have but the exact same problem for the media. So it's not due to YT Music or Sirius. It's an overall media problem.
Unfortunately, I can't close the app because when I unplug the phone, YouTube Music isn't even open. And swiping right the player controls doesn't seem to work.
The only thing that seems to work is to stop the stream through Android Auto before turning off the engine and unplugging. But I have to think every time I leave my car

I haven't tried stopping it before I turn off the van, but that's an idea. I think when I turn off the engine, it pauses the stream on the device, sure, but what causes it to just start playing again??
TBH, that and the random dead spots around the edges of my phone since Android 11, I'm getting a little aggravated.

I absolutely don't know what causes it to start the music again. But closing it before turning off the engine and then force closing the streaming app does help. That way, the phone has nothing to turn back on
Regarding the dead spots since the update I don't have this problem... Yet. But yeah, Android 11 is one of the worst major update the past few years. Hope they will fix these problems soon.
