How to set which app is controlled by hands-free device?

I have a Kinivo BTC450 hands-free bluetooth device in my car. With my iPhone 5 and iOS 7, it worked perfectly: the one button on the Kinivo started or paused my SpeedUp app (which plays audio content faster than normal), and when I got back in the car, it would automatically start up again.  With updates to iOS 8, it's now much more flaky (and same with my new iPhone 6+): sometimes the button turns on iTunes instead, and sometimes it turns on audio from some app I can't even identify (none appear to be running on the phone!). Sometimes pushing the button does not start or pause the audio, and it never starts up again now, when I start the car. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to
1) tell the phone which app the bluetooth device is supposed to control
2) make it more reliable
     or perhaps suggest a better similar device (BT, with output audio jack for my stereo's AUX input socket) which is more reliable with iPhone?

Hi Michael,
It sounds like you’re running into intermittent Bluetooth connection issues and other unexpected Bluetooth behavior since upgrading iOS on your iPhone 5. I suggest taking a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of great troubleshooting tips that’ll resolve most Bluetooth connection issues.

Take care,

  • Setting which app opens a picture

    How can you choose which app opens a particular file type on OS 9? Picture viewer has become the default programme for opening pics, we need it to be Photoshop. On OS X, you just Apple-I the icon, and are given the option to choose which app opens that file type, with the option to change all, but I can't find the same thing on OS 9.
    Any helpers?

    Hi, James -
    On OS X, you just Apple-I the icon, and are given the option to choose which app opens that file type, with the option to change all, but I can't find the same thing on OS 9.
    That is because OS 9 does not have a similar feature as part of the OS command or preference set.
    If the files in question are ones that are downloaded from the net, then try redoing the appropriate filetype settings in the Internet control panel, Advanced tab, File Mapping item to those for Photoshop. This should work for files downloaded from then on.
    For files copied from a non-Mac volume, make similar adjustments in the file-program linkages in the File Exchange control panel, PC Exchange tab. This, too, should correct files copied to the drive from then on.
    There is no easy way to do a fix for files already on the drive.
    • One solution might be to remove QuickTime's PictureViewer utility, then create a linkage in File Exchange > File Translation to have Photoshop open any QT PictureViewer files. Unless PictureViewer is removed, the OS will find it and open the pics with it before seeking an alternate program from the list in File Exchange. Note, though, that this may result in inconvenient behavior when using a browser - QT and PictureViewer are comonly used as a helper app for web graphics.
    • Another would be to use a utility app to change the File Type and Creator codes for those files to be the ones for Photoshop. If that is done, then double-clicking the files will open them in Photoshop directly.
    One such utility for OS 9 is FileTyper, which is designed to be set up to change the codes on any files dropped onto it - it does that well, but nothing else.
    I prefer to use FileBuddy for things like that. It has a host of useful file manipulation features, among which is the ability to create a droplet to make specified changes to files, or to folders full of files, dropped onto it.
    An even stronger one is Graphic Converter, which can be set to do a number of changes to files in batch processing mode - not only change the application associated with the file, but also change its type (such as from pict to jpeg), add thumbnails and previews, and even rename/renumber a group of files in sequence.

  • How to set up validations in controlling

    Hi All,
    I have an issue.
    I have set up planning for all cost elements and internal orders. While posting actual amounts greater than planned amount. The system should pop up an error messgae.
    How to set up validation for this issue.
    Regards
    Arun

    Hi Arun,
    As far as the internal order goes, you can set up Budgets and activate 'availability control' which would trigger an 'eeror message' when it exceeds the budget amount. Path: SPRO-Controlling-Internal Order-Budger and Availability Control
    The same facility is not available in Cost center budget.
    You may have to write an exit or validations.

  • How to set which page to open on

    Hi,
    Can someone tell me how to set the property (which one?) so the pdf document will open on a certain page?
    I just cannot figure out how to use the reference. There is a GoTo, which maybe is the one i'm looking for(?), but how do i call/set it?
    (no, it is not pageNum in the doc object)
    Thanks!

    Each document contains all pages. So essentially, there are a lot of copies of the same file and has the same content (yes, it is stupid).
    Anyway, i have found a way to do this. I open each document (which i thought would already be open so i could use "this"), set the property, save and lastly close it. It works, but it aint fast. So if someone ever finds a way to do this faster, that would be really nice.  :-)
    Here is the code:
    /* Set Initial Page View */
    function trimNumber(s) {   while (s.substr(0,1) == '0' && s.length>1) { s = s.substr(1,9999); }   return s; }
    var re = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
    var filename = this.path.replace(re,"");
    console.println(filename);
    var mypage = filename.substring(15-3);
    var mDoc = app.openDoc(this.path);
    var goToPageScript = "this.pageNum = \"" + (trimNumber(mypage)-1) + "\";";
    mDoc.addScript("GoToPage", goToPageScript);
    mDoc.saveAs(this.path);
    mDoc.closeDoc();
    Example file name: tqr02_10a02_003.pdf
    I really appreciate the help you gave me! I don't think i would ever get this to work otherwise. And now it saves me time opening 300+ document manually to set the initial page view, and do this every month!
    Thanks!

  • How to set value for Dropdown control using Querystring filter wepart

    Hi,
    I have a dropdown in my customized list form and need to set the value for the dropdown control using query string filter web part.
    I am able to set value for textbox control using Query String Filer web part.
    But, since the dropdown values are not populated on form load, the value is not set for dropdown control.
    How to load the values in dropdown control on form load and set a value using Query String filter webpart?
    Thanks,
    dhijit

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to filter choice field using Query String Filter web part.
    To filter using query string filter web part, we can set the default value for the choice field in the query string filter web part panel as below, then connect to the list.
    Now it would be filter by the value you have set.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Change All / Get Info issue. How to set which application  opens a file?

    Hello,
    I would like to be able to set which application opens a specific file, but cannot get the 'Change all' option in the get info to stick, or to have scvope beyond the immediate folder. For example: whenever I download an.xml file and try to open it the application it defaults to is 'Property List editor' - so I have to go into 'get info' and set the application that I want to use to open the file. Let's say - Textmate. That file will then remain set, for the length of that session anyway - but clicking 'Change all' will not mean that the next file downloaded will default to 'Textmate', or that any .xml files outside the folder will open in Textmate. I have to set them all manually, which gets to be a drag.
    I once had a little open source app. that I used to set the preferences as to which application opened a specific suffix - which worked with some, some of the time... but after a clean install I lost it - and can't remember what it was called. Anyway, it didn't entirely solve the problem, only lessened it.

    *Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind*
    1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
    2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
    3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
    4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
    5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
    6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
    7) Close the get info window.
    I know that what I posted may have been what you have been doing, but wanted to double check.
    I don't know to what application you are referring but application/file type association is done by Launch Services. Potentially this can become corrupted. You can use Onyx (free) utility to rebuild LS, but in doing so you will lose all non-default associations.
    As with any problems, I would also make sure you have run disk utility to verify and repair your drive, and repair permissions on your computer, before doing any other actions. It's surprising what that can clear up. You can slo just try starting in Safe mode, then restarting normally and see if that helps.

  • HT204387 how to use synched phone in a car hands free

    Hi,
    I can't use my 4S phone in my car hands free, it is synched but when I actually talk on phone I have to use the phone in my ear, somehow my setting is changed and I can't get to use the phone hands free, the bluetooth is on, don't know what else to to.

    That would be interesting to see an app that's able to do all this and be able to have a keypad to dial a number.  Alot of consumers see the iPad as a replacement stereo, if you really look at the features and price between haveing a high-end double din stereo with GPS vs. an iPad/Mini.  The high-end stereo w/gps,bluetooth,usb for media storage and all the bells & whistles will cost you well over $1000;  As for the iPad.... the iPad already does most of the features that a car stereo can do and alot more, with the exeption of not being able to make a bluetooth calls, but with a price well under $1000 depending on storage space.  I have seen that the iPad,& iPad mini has made an impact in the caraudio scene ever since the very first iPad was released. If seeing is believing.... I would suggest to do a search on the web and youtube "ipad in car".

  • How to set cursor in table control?

    I have a table control (Screen 300) to display invoice number and amount. For some checks we have around 200 invoices to be displayed.  When user enters the invoice number in invoice text box and click on OK, it should highlight the invoice number and amount row or set the cursor position.
    I have another problem.
    Screen 300 is being called from Screen 200. When the user clicks on OK in 300, 300 is getting closed. Acutally it should be displayed with Cusor position or highlighted row.
    I appreaciate your help ... Thanks

    I believe that you can use the SET CURSOR statement to do the first part of your requirement.  Something like this should work:
    SET CURSOR FIELD w_field LINE w_line.
    Here's the info from SAP help:
    Effect
    : The cursor is positioned on the screen element whose name is contained in upper case in field. The data object field must be character-type and flat. The screen layout or a table control is scrolled in the display so that the screen element on which the cursor is positioned is visible. If the specified screen element is not found, the statement is ignored.
    If the specified screen element is part of a table control or a step loop, the line of the table control or group of the step loop in which the cursor is positioned on the specified screen element must be specified using the addition LINE. For the data object line, the type i is expected. If there is no line or group for the value of line, or the addition LINE is not specified, the statement is ignored. The statement is also ignored if the addition LINE is specified and the screen element is not part of a table control or step loop.
    I hope this helps.

  • How to set up a label control from custom event handler?

    Hi,
    Below I try to describe my problem:
    I have a single instance of MyClass (I use Cairngorm framework), with ArrayCollection as a variable, in which I would like to keep a couple addresses from database.
    Additionaly  I created a custom components with a list of people retrieved from database, with eventhandler  for a doubleclick event. After I doubleclick on some person, I create a custom event and dispatch it. In command class connected with this event I connect to the database and get full data about this person and a set of her addresses. This set of addresses I placed into ArrayCollection in my model variable. And now I have a problem, because one of this address (the birth place) I would like to display below the list with persons, in a Panel with a couple of label control, but .... I can't to bind label control to my model.addresses[???] because I don't know if this doubleclicked person has this birth address at all?
    I wonder if it is possible to set up label control in my custom components in time when I'm receiving the data from database in my custom event handler???
    One of the way to achieve this is to define a string var in my model and placed this special address in it, and then the label control to this variable, for instance {model.birthplace}, but this is only needed for a moment, I don't want to keep this address in extra variable in model, because I have already it in my ArrayCollection in model, so it would be a duplicate.
    I hope that you could understand me and my english :-)
    Best regards

    There are time the network connection indicator shows up no matter GPRS or 3G for no appearent reason, my phone drain battery quick especially when it is on 3G, but it seems no way to tell exactly what app is using the connection, or I can deal with it.

    Thanks for the response kps.
    looks like you may want to use JButton<<I had tried JLabel and JButton but neither had a solution. I now know to use getSource which works
    You are creating so many listener classes...whereas you need to have only one class and use the same object to register for all JButtons...<<Someone else has made the same point. I think I know what you mean by this, but am not sure how to implement.

  • How to set which E-Mail gets used on a group

    I use groups to send specfic E-Mails to specific people. I have two diferent groups with the same people on it, but the E-Mail should be sent to diferent adresses (ex. Home, or Work).
    Since Lion, I can't define anymore in the Group "Home" which E-Mail address from a specific contact should be used...
    How do I do that?

    I have the same problem.  The Address Book Help clearly says to use the Edit>Edit Distribution List.
    However, that option is grayed out.
    Any ideas on why this would be and how to correct it?
    I have already tried turning off Contacts in iCloud in preferences and then waiting and turning it back on.  No change.
