Silent mode when bluetooth connects #102

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Would be nice to put phone in silent mode when connected to bluetooth to 
prevent notification interruptions.

There are many apps that do things like this.  Smart Actions if you have a 
Motorola device can be downloaded from the web.  While it was packaged only on 
the Razr it has been run on many other Motorola devices.

Another is Tasker:

I think there may be more.  I know, A2DP Volume has sortof become another tool 
similar to these is some ways but I wrote it to be focused on managing the 
Bluetooth connection so I never have to take my phone out of my pocket.  I can 
see the need for your suggested enhancement to achieve that goal.  Need to be 
careful though.  If I put the device in silent mode you will not get phone call 
notifications either.  We can instead mute the notification volume which might 
be better but still I think this request needs some more thought.  I believe 
navigation might use that for turn-by-turn directions (I would need to 
confirm).  Would like to hear more details about your specific use cases where 
you think this would be a good thing to do so I can understand if others would 
also find value in it.

My phone is the galaxy s2. I use a2dpvolume for car music streaming with
Pandora.
I tested putting my phone in silent mode and the car Bluetooth for phone
still rings.
If I don't enable silent mode and I get a sms or calendar notification, the
music stream
volume lowers during the notification.

I think what you really want is to mute notifications, right?  Here are the 
audio modes I have to work with:

I can create a test app with the notifications muted and let you try it.  I 
presume silent mode may also do about what you want.  I think you are saying 
that you tested it and it did work.  Please confirm.  I am preparing a pretty 
big release which will address this issue and issues 100 through 103.

Correct. silent mode seemed to be a catch all for what ever app sent a
notification. I did verify that even with silent mode enabled, I would
still receive a phone ring, through the car bluetooth for phone, which is
good. I will test the 2.8.0 beta tonight.

Tested the "Silence notifications while connected" and it worked correctly.
After disconnecting from bluetooth, the audiable alert notifications
resumed. One thing I noticed is that the "Set media volume on connect"
setting get's set back to a lower volume after bluetooth disconnect. I had
it set to max and the setting was saved. Not sure if this is a result of my
change request? I wasn't able to test the phone piece yet to make sure I
still received the phone ring over bluetooth. Will test that tonight.

Phone ring while connected to Bluetooth still works fine. Only issue I see
is the "set media volume on connect" gets set to the phone setting when the
bluetooth disconnects.

Good catch on the volume adjuster bug.  I had called the update function after 
resetting the volume.  Dumb mistake.  I fixed that now and it will be in the 
next release.  Thanks a buch for helping me test!  Let me know if you find 
anything else.

I fixed the auto volume feature in 2.8.1, now ready for testing in the 
downloads tab. I also made some fixes for Pandora and Spotify stop feature.
