Fstop Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Hi, Andre/Max. (Long-time PA user and still my favorite app!) Been using Poweramp successfully with Android Auto and notice that it is displaying the message "Poweramp is being used by another device" predominantly, under the song title and artist. Is there a way to disable this message so it doesn't show on the screen (on the car's head unit display)? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 @Fstop never seen that before, can you please make a photo of the screen? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I can't replicate this either, using latest release of PA (926) and latest available (7.2.620124, 22nd Jan) update of Android Auto on my phone. Samsung Android 11. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fstop Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 Yes, here you go! Wasn't sure if it's an issue with my phone, PA, or AndroidAuto. I'm using a Samsung Note9 in a Hyundai Kona. I am also a beta tester for Android Auto, so it'd be latest (if not unreleased) version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I'm using a Hyundai head unit too (four year old i30) as it happens, and a Samsung phone (Galaxy A70). But I'm not in the AA beta programme, so it could be related to that. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is a 2019 Kona, and I recently updated the firmware for the head unit, but it wasn't doing it immediately after that. But not sure how long I've had the most recent AA release.

Fstop Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 Andre, I also recently purchased the Motorola MA1 Wireless Android Auto Adapter and it is working perfectly, but this message was already being displayed with the USB wired AA. (Just thought I'd let you know it works great in the hyundai though, no wires!) I still love PA so much, tell everyone about it! Love how I can use a designated EQ profile for each IEM, headphone, and my home stereo (actually a studio) as well as my car, so I have the perfect sound profiles all the time (I had training as a recording engineer and design/build my own speaker systems, so can't stand everything not sounding right all the time.

andrewilley Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Just started happening to me a few days ago too: It's especially annoying as this message occupies the area that should be used to provide counter / duration, so you can no longer see the playback position as mm:ss. On a related note, I wish Google hadn't implemented that silly blue ring around the Play button - what was wrong with the old horizontal line along the bottom which was far more readable?

Fstop Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 Andre, did you get a recent AA upgrade? I'm wondering if it's related to that? Yes, it is annoying, and the type is as big as the Artist info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 @Fstop My last AA update on my phone was 25 Feb. I could have missed it since then, but I've done a few drives where PA was playing since then and don't recall seeing it. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fstop Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 andre, have you heard anything new about this? my head unit is still doing it, and im now on Android 13 (Samsung note 20 ultra) and latest build of PA and Android Auto.

andrewilley Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 @Fstop The display on my Android Auto head unit is still doing it too, so the track details line is always replaced with the annoying "Poweramp is being used by another de..." message (as per the earlier photos). Any interim updates to Android, Android Auto, or Poweramp don't seem to have changed the situation. @maxmp Any ideas on this? Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
