I have a task that starts Pandora when connected to my car bluetooth. However, the problem is that usually when I am going somewhere in my car I also am starting up my 'Google Maps' and when Pandora starts up it stops the maps from loading completely. I was wondering if there is any way to get Tasker to load Pandora in the background?
you can set a profile.
Context is when connected to car blue tooth and active app is Pandora,
then your task will be to insert task to wait for say 5 seconds, and then input button 'back' twice to reach home screen.

Hi all...
Just got my Tilt a few weeks ago and thus far have been enjoying every moment. I have run into an issue that is a bit irritating, wondering if anyone has any ideas.
Streaming audio over the phone works great, but I can't figure out how to keep the music playing when the phone goes into sleep mode.
I get connected, it plays for a couple of minutes then the sound turns off along with the screen. I hit the power button to wake the phone up, the screen turns on and the music comes back. It appears that the phone is staying connected to the website, it is just the sound that goes away.
Ideally I would like to have the screen off to conserve battery power, while listening to the radio. I am having this issue when using the built in speaker and while using headphones connected through the USB port.
Any help or suggestions would be appriciated.
Yeah, I just tried it with mine and I get the same results - turning it to standby causes the music to stop but the stream seems to stay active. So, I would suggest getting a hold of a program called AE Button Plus, which allows you to remap all of the buttons on the front of the device. There are options in there to disable the standby mode when a button is pressed, and then you can turn off the screen but keep the device running with a different button press. Check it out and you'll understand what I mean, and I think that would be your best bet.

use wktask to minimize streaming apps for audio to stay on.
Speaking of AE Button Plus, also make sure you read my related Button Enhancer Bible for more tips & tricks.
In my experience, the music will still play through Bluetooth A2DP headphones when the phone goes to sleep.
Just rooted 5 days ago with AOSP baseband version 2.42.02.10.29, Kernel Version 2.6.29.2, Mod version aospMOD 0.9.9.2 and am just finding my phone is bugging out!
OK!
1. The lock screen. Initially to unlock the phone, press on it and slide it to the right. Now, when I press on it, instead of being able to slide it, it jumps around to the left back and forth and is VERY difficult to slide to the right. It acts like it's avoiding me and trying to escape. Took me over a minute to unlock my phone this morning. When I first rooted, it was easy. Now, not so much.
2. Thrilled that I can now voice-dial with my motorola blue-tooth, I am getting the weirdest thing. When my blue tooth is paired and connected, if someone calls, the phone doesn't ring at all, it just rings through the bluetooth (well, the voice notifies me) and I get "call on line one". I have set my contacts for individual ringers so I know who's calling by listening to the song, but now, no ring at all through the phone. Phone is completely silent. If I unplug the bluetooth, the phone rings, but when bluetooth on, no ring. This never happened before. I have triple-checked all the settings and cannot make sense of this. Before, I could have the bluetooth on, and the phone would ring according to the individual ringers.
3. When someone calls and I talk to them through bluetooth, if they hang up and I don't immediately end the call through the bluetooth, my music player leaps into life and starts playing through the blue tooth. Not fun to get a deafening song blasted through your eardrums - this is the music player that was loaded when I rooted, I have again checked all settings and cannot figure out why this happens. So now, if I don't end the call immediately manually, a song starts blasting, and I have to unlock the phone (which is tricky at the moment), open up the music player and manually stop the song and exit out of music player.
My loaded apps are as follows (ones I got from Marketplace):
adobe reader
alarm clock
Astrid tasks
B-Folders
Barcode scanner
convertpad
google sky map
home switcher
latitude
maps (google maps)
memory (game)
Multicon
navigation
news and weather
places
Shootme
Solitaire
Swiftkey
Titanium Backup
Uninstaller
Vizbattery
Wordup! (game that I am absolutely hooked on)
Yelp
Thoughts anyone??????
try a full wipe and reflash the rom/gapps, etc.
Thanks. I might try that if I get desperate, but it's such a hassle, wiping everything and then getting the phone back to the way I like it. As a last resort, sure... but I'll see what happens. Just so you know, suddenly, after not using my phone most of the day, the ring tone suddenly started working, so that with the blue tooth on, the phone's ring tone actually rang - so that's a good thing, even though at the moment, I can't unlock it at all - the unlock button just leaps away from me when I touch it. oh well.
Any progress on it now that a few days have passed?
Sorry if I posted in the wrong area, I don't see a Q&A section for AA.
I purchased a Satechi bluetooth "Home" button on amazon, and I downloaded a bluetooth mapping app, so when Im just holding my phone normally, i can tap this bluetooth button twice, and it would activate "Ok Google" for me. I want to be able to do this while the phone is plugged into my headunit and AA is running. but when AA is running and I double tap the button, nothing happens. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this work? I'd rather have a small bluetooth button easily accessible, then taking my eyes off the road to look to tap the small microphone on the headunit screen to activate Google Now.
Thanks!
Did anyone find a solution to this issue? I'm looking for the same thing.
I'm finding Bixby routines to be a real treat. I have several set up already.
When I get to work, it turns on airplane mode, activates wifi and bluetooth, connects to my speaker, sets volume to a low level, opens my play music and starts playing.
Listening to headphones - it turns off bluetooth, sets the volume to a certain level and starts playing Samsung music.
YouTube and Google maps - automatically rotate.
I have several others too. Pretty amazing in my opinion.
Agreed. They are a treat that they have that, but i still feel tasker is a bit more advanced, but not easy to use as bixby routines.
I like them, but lack of integration with smart home is a wasted opportunity
If I can use Bixby voice to turn my lights on why can't I use a routine for example

I haven't noticed a difference.
Running the AOE notifications app, I set the screen to 100% brightness while that app runs in bixby routines. Notification around the notch is awesome.
Thought of this one yesterday -
20% media volume on 9gag, Instagram, Reddit and YouTube. I hate clicking something to play sound and the creator thought it'd be funny to blast whatever sounds are with it. This ends that issue. ?
I noticed something...
when connected to my car bluetooth I set up to enable the GPS and to open the WAZE app. when it is opened I can see the GPS icon but when I receive a whatsapp or so and I click on it, it puts WAZE to the background but the GPS icon goes away...when I bring WAZE to the foreground again, I see it needs to update where I am as it gets GPS signal again...which is quite strange as the GPS icon in the quicklaunch remains active as long as I am connected with my car...
and an other question: is there some sort of priority setting for routines?

You don't have the battery settings to put Waze to sleep immediately or to not allow background running right?
Nice try, not helpful:
I use Tasker for many tasks. Among them these:
- when Waze active and power on AC, turn on volume
- When both Waze stops while no AC power OR power stops while no active WAZE, turn off volume
This cannot be done with Bixby

indeed, Bixby is quite basic, I hope them will make it a Tasker competitor over the months.
Thanks. I completely disabled all Bixby (via ADB) and am using Tasker and bxActions
Hey guys since I've owned this phone I've had constant problems with the phone automatically adjusting the volume usually way down. When not on Bluetooth it's less pronounced but still occurs, I'll turn on a podcast and the volume will drop on the phone to like 20%.
On Bluetooth, the problem becomes an absolute nightmare. Every time I switch apps, or even open new browser tabs the volume settings appear on screen and randomly jump either up or down. If I'm moving quickly between apps or browsers, this can occur multiple times (up or down) within a 5 second window. Pretty much anytime I turn on audio I have to turn the volume all the way back up.
I've disabled Bluetooth absolute volume in dev settings but don't see any other fix for this.
Also, the problem is independent of player. Spotify does it, stitcher does it, VLC does it, and pi music does it. And even when I'm connected to Bluetooth and doing nothing audio related but just switching between apps and browser it will be jumping the volume levels around and popping up the audio slider on the right side of the screen.
What Bluetooth device are you using? Perhaps it uses touch controls and they're acting up
