a thank you and a couple of suggestions (quick tile and sleep timer) #5

was having trouble with TWS volume resetting every time i pressed pause, and this gives me a workaround, thank you for the app ❤️

i have couple suggestions that could likely be useful for the users of this, it would be useful for me.

it would be nice to have a quick tile to put into the android statusbar pulldown menu to control it with one click from everywhere

and another suggestion would be a sleep timer, cause if you use this for falling asleep, you will just have the device active when you fall asleep draining the battery fully both on your bluetooth and your phone

I'm glad the app is useful for you, and thanks for your suggestions!

Quick Tile: Yes, that sounds useful, and should be pretty straightforward. Probably: highlight if playing, tap to toggle on/off, tap and hold to open the app.

Sleep timer: Good idea. However, I was hoping to make the noise playing sensitive to when other audio was playing. That is, it would be great if (while connected to the speaker) it would turn off when you stop playing other audio, and automatically turn back on if you resume. If it did this, and you used a normal sleep timer setting (e.g. in an audiobook player) to control your main audio, then you wouldn't need a sleep timer in the Speaker app. I will have to see if it's possible though!

i think making it sensitive to noise might actually just make the app not work for this use case though i dont know how the speakers work, but if its similar to the TWS earbuds i have, they turn on and off like what you described, when nothing is playing they stop playing any sound, and for me that resets the volume of the earbud. but with your app when its on, i hear that the earbuds are getting sound because i hear their background noise playing, so they dont go into standby mode

i think its a little different from the intended use of the app, but i feel issues could also be with the cutting off of words in the beginning, because i also hear that effect somewhat when playing speech on my earbuds, but they dont go into standby from it, must be a little different communication between earbuds and a phone compared to speaker and phone/computer
