Stop Android Studio eating Windows Media keys - Android Studio

I have searched for a solution for this but I am unable to find anything...
The problem exists both on my work laptop(ASUS FX550V) and my personal PC. Both running Windows 10 and on my PC I'm using a Logitech G19 keyboard. I have also tried various Android apps that offer the capability to control media on a Windows PC, all with the same result.
The problem is that when the Android Studio window is in focus my media keys(play, pause, skip forward/back etc) do not function at all... so if I'm busy working in studio and I want to skip or pause a song I first need to alt+tab to any other window or even the desktop before pressing the media key otherwise it simply does nothing... this is getting quite frustrating.
so If anyone knows why this is happening and how I can fix it I would greatly appreciate it.

Please Help: HTC E100 Remote auto starts Audio Manager....

...but I want it to start Pocket Music 5 which is the player I use or even WMP. When I use Kaiser Tweak the default player only gives a choice between Audio Manager and WMP - how can I add Pocket Music to that to be able to select as default. However it does not matter which default I select using Kaiser Tweak as the RC E100 only operates the HTC Audio Manager.
Can someone please direct me to another possible registry entry that can fix this?
thanks guys
Didn't the remote only support windows media player?
no, doesnt support WMP. I tried to get it to run anything other than Audio Manager but as soon as you push any button on the remote unit, it starts up Audio Manager - regardless of whats running.
If I have Pocket Player running, the music is routed through the remote headset but it does not respond to any button pushes; again; it just starts Audio Manager.
Any suggestions? Is there a registry hack?
I'm in the same situation as you !
I contacted HTC, and they said the driver is developed to support only the Audio Manager. My contact having on the other phone a technician of HTC, I have asked to tell him to improve the driver to support other Media Player
But ... nothing moves ...
...bump..
anybody have any ideas please? or having same experience?
Cant believe there are only 2 of us with Kaisers using the new RC E100 headset?
I'm still waiting for mine
THough i like the audio manager

I got mine yesterday, using WMP on my Tilt though. I didn't have to install the included driver.
I thought it was possible? how did you get it to work on WMP?
I tried calling HTC support but less than worthless....
The Tilt doesn't have the HTC Audio Manager, just WMP.
I didn't do anything other than plug in the remote, hitting a button then launches WMP.
Can anyone please give me a clue as to where in the registry to look - I'll play around this weekend and see if I can come up with something BUT can one of the hotshots on this forum PLEASE give me an idea of WHERE in registry to start looking.
HTC TyTN2 E100
Hello,
I know that problem too. Have you, at least, identify which HTC driver is used (name ?).
Maybe we may developp one ourself.
Cheers,

Hi,
I have both AudioManager and WMP and when I press play on the remote AM starts but when WMP is started first the remote controls WMP. I didn't install driver form CD.
But on the other hand it would be great to control other apps with the remote. I tried many programs to capture E100 buttons but no luck. Only phone buttons can be used. I configured TCPMP to use them as next/previous.
I think intercepting communication between E100 and kaiser would give us some idea how does it work - is it USB or some kind of pulsing through button line of the EXTusb.

How I would solve this is to dump the register before pressing start and dump it after I had pressed start then use a comparing program and look up where in the register the change is made (triggered), then swap it whit the wanted program.

I'm not sure if pressing the button triggers any changes to the register. I was thinking more about taping into physical signals between Kaiser and E100 remote but this could lead to trashing the device in the process Or maybe someone asm literate will look into driver file using IDA to tell us what registry keys it points to.

Everything is logged, by dumping before/after is like to see what actually happened, once you spotted the change you go in and study the area of register. No need for a integrated development environment on this one as we know that this is what kaiser tweak do; change youre register... I suggested to make the changes that the register is sorted to run whatever player of own choice. This is one of many ways to do just that. And after you know the changes you can cab it and save it for another rainy day.

Double-click and single-click?

I don't know how to activate double click function on my diamond.
Now when I single-click an icon it opens, starts or activates the clicked object at once.
I would like to be able to "highlight" the selected icon with single click and "open" it with double-click.
Just like every previous microsoft PC operative systems...95, 98, ME, XP, VISTA and so on.
Is it possible?
And also...Can somebody recommend a bluetooth stereo headset with microphone in that can play loud music with great bass?
It must be able to play extremely loud music with really powerful and deeeeep bass. Please?
Help greatly appreciated
I luuuuuuv my Diamond!!! *hugs*
Edit: I have searched the forum but couldn't find anything about double-click on the diamond. I KNOW HOW TO SEARCH...so don't tell me to do so please

Tunes Remote and ITunes 9

Hello,
Does somebody has experience with the Tunes Remote app and ITunes9?
I am able to connect to my Itunes and all the artists load. When I click on an artist I see his albums and the number of songs on this album, but when I open an album I get the message that there are no songs in this album. If I long press an album I can play the songs in it and the name and track information displays on screen. I can also skip songs etc. Is this normal behavior or just ITunes 9 related?
Does somebody also has used this app to control his apple tv? I am thinking about buying one.
Thanks in advance
I can't even get it to connect.. It wont find any shared libraries, and manual connection makes it see the android in iTunes, but after entering the pairing code 0000, it just disconnects, and starts the pairing again...
Anybody got it actually working, on itunes 9, on OSX?
Same problem here it wont even connect for me.
Hi!
I got the same problem... I start up TunesRemote (when my Hero is connected to WiFi), and my phone starts to search for libraries... it searches ... and it searches ... and it just keeps searching ! I doesn't give me any results or errors (like he couldn't find any libraries, or..) or anything!
Too bad, but ah well.. I still have the controls on my macbook although, I hope this will be fixed in an update. I don't know if this update has to come from Apple (of so, little change it's gonna happen ) or from the app itself... I'm guessing the app ? Anyone ?
Thanks !

Same problem here in OS X. Searching finds nothing, manual sees it in iTunes but doesn't pair on the phone. So I switched to GMote. It works.
Even tho I'm sitting here with a Desire, I guess I found the solution, noone essentially posted on the net yet. I kinda know, cause I've been trying to get the Tunes Remote working for 2 days straight now.
But I solved it. Or let me say, google did.
Here's what I had to do to make sure everything turns out fine:
(number 2a is the step most likely responsible for all the fuzz. But I tell you my whole journey)
1) itunes
a] share my library in the local network (settings -> sharing)
b] activate my computer in iTunes in the store to share content (yes, it needs an account. try it without. i don't know)
c] make itunes search for remotes (settings -> at the bottom)
2) computer (I have windows XP sp2)
a] deinstall bonjour
b] reinstall a clean bonjour (google bonjour print download) and make sure it's running (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> services)
c] essential: open the bonjour-necessary port 5353 (take the instructions from ehow regarding "How to manually open ports in Windows XP". and kill window's firewall. it's whack anyway)
3) handset
a] install Tunes Remote (you should know jsharkey's site by now) (you need to allow non-market apps)
b] start it and manually enter your computer's IP in the options (your IP can be found via ipconfig: run "cmd" and type ipconfig)
4) your home
a] enjoy control your itunes from anywhere
Hope this helps any of you guys who struggled and got angry at the no-help state of google regarding this topic. All in all it's been a really aggravating road, but the road ended in success and a proper itunes remote
I've got Tunes Remote working and I love it, but it doesn't stay paired once you shut down either the app or iTunes. Anyone got a fix on how to keep things paired (make iTunes and the app remember eachother so you don't have to pair them EVERY TIME you start iTunes)?

Remote control your phone from your PC?

Is there any way to remote control your phone through your PC (Over wifi).
I usually use my phone with Spotify to play music on my stereo. And when i'm at my computer which is about 10 meters away. It would be really nice to be able to change music from my computer.
Is that at all possible?

Hello all!
Having received my Nexus 7 over the weekend I wanted to thank the community for all the help (unwittingly) provided so far. Despite this being my first android device, so far I've taken tentative first steps to getting it doing what I want and:
- rooted the device using the tool kit;
- got flash working (in firefox beta) for iplayer (works with browser in desktop mode only, but I think that's right?)
The intention is to use USB OTG to expand storage capacity and use the tablet for media consumption and connectivity when out and about. So Tasker has been downloaded (to set home and away profiles) and the readthrough on here digested (initially at least!).
Next steps: find a way (automated through Tasker) to allow the tablet to mount our NAS when at home, so that the media plays pick up all the media on it; and determine how to print from the tablet on the networked printer (hosted by the NAS).
Any clues on a smb client that can be automated on Tasker are appreciated, as are good media players with library functionality (hoping XBMC will handle movies in the future, but a good music player would be appreciated)
Many thanks once again and I hope that one day through my adventures I might be able to help someone else too.
