repo Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hello I use Poweramp regularly, but now, after buying Mi band 4 I'm looking for alternative player, because only in Poweramp (and Soundcloud) I cannot control my music from the Mi band. In other popular music applications like, Tidal, Spotify, Google music, YouTube, Hi-Fi cast everything works great. I see that power amp uses different music control panel, same as Soundcloud. And in both of those apps there is no way to control music from a band (only volume change works). Can you implement more universal music control panel like most popular music apps have? I think it will not require huge changes and Power amp will be more universal app overall. Mi bands 3 and 4 are very popular now, and many users like me use them for more convenient music control.

pwamps Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I can control Poweramp with my Mi Band 4. Every button works. I am using Poweramp's widget and background service is running. Maybe that is the reason you are unable to control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repo Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Interesting, so it is possible to fully control music from Mi band in this app. I used widged also and playing in background and still no luck. It has to be something else. Maybe it has something to do with settings in the system itself. Anyone has any idea? There is obviously something different with those two apps ( soundclound and power amp) rest of music apps work correct on my phone with mi band.

andrewilley Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Check that you have got Poweramp set to keep service running and use wakelock (in Settings > Misc) Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repo Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 I played with these options and also with notification types. Still no response when I press play/pause/next/previous buttons on mi band. Strage thing is that if I use different music app before I use Poweramp and than while playing music on Poweramp I press fast a couple of times play/pause or next/previous buttons on mi band screen last played app (before Poweramp) is starting to play on the phone. Like there is some kind of catche remembering previously used music app, but no response on current playing Poweramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Perhaps @pwamps can offer some information about how it is working for them on the same device, or what you are doing differently? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwamps Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Here is my Poweramp setting file. I am using ZTE Axon 7 phone with stock Oreo rom. Also Do Not forget : You need to enable app notification for Mi Fit app Here is how it is activated : https://tr.gearbest.com/blog/how-to/how-to-set-up-music-control-function-with-xiaomi-mi-band-4-6402 last.poweramp-settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repo Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 I used your settings and I do have notification and permission enabled. It has to be something with Poweramp being non fully compatible with my rom. I use ZTE Axon 7 too with AEX rom builded on Oreo 8.1. But thank you anyway.

digitom Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Is it possible to control the Poweramp with the Honor band 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 No idea, in theory could be - but if you give a try could you let us know? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
