sleep timer for gizmo. anyway to figure out a force stop/pause/kill app?
« on: August 26, 2011, 02:45:06 am »
just downloaded this app, works somewhat good, it basically turns the volume down but it won't kill gizmo, anyone know if it's possible to kill, pause, force a stop with this app? be great to use gizmo as a sleep aid, and be able to conserve battery at the same time.

app in market - https://market.android.com/details?id=ch.pboos.android.SleepTimer&feature=search_result
developers site explaining why it may not work - http://blog.pboos.ch/sleeptimer-for-android/

I just heard from developer of sleep app,

Dear Chris,

Thank you for the donation. Sad to hear it is not working with JRiver's Gizmo. Seems like they are not supporting the media pause/stop button. Sadly there is nothing I can do if they do not support that.
Only if you have root, there might be some hope still. Do you have a rooted phone? If you do not know what rooted means, than the answer is probably no.

Regards,
Patrick

Is there anything you guys could do, to enable this please?
