Re: Librivox automatically plays in my car (Bluetooth)

This isn't really an app issue, so I wouldn't bother the app developer about it. Depending on your Android device and Android OS, there may be a setting that will take care of this. On my device (Oneplus 8T with Android 11) I go to Settings -> Sounds&Vibration -> Earphone mode. There, I have a ...

[Solved]Librivox automatically plays in my car (Bluetooth)

I don't know if this is an app problem or an Android problem but it's annoying. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy A52, and I usually stream Librivox to my Mazda 3 via Bluetooth. Recently, whenever I start the car, the book I've been listening to automatically starts playing. If I'm in the car with someon...

Re: Librivox app for android phones.

I think so but I can try again. Thanks. Now that I think hard about it, maybe I didn't write about this second problem. :oops: Anyway, the only suggestions I found,either in an email or online, was to turn off any data or battery saving settings. I didn't want to do this since I do want to save data...

Re: Librivox app for android phones.

I realize that this app is not made by Librivox and have tried to get information on how to fix the bug which apparently many people have experienced. I tried to contact the developers but have not received any useful advice. There are a lot of other players out there, so I'll keep trying more of them

Re: Librivox app for android phones.

I've been using the paid version of this app for a couple of months. However, recently (possibly after an Android update) it has begun pausing frequently in the middle of play. I use audiobooks in the car and I obviously can't open the app to hit PLAY while I'm driving. Anyone have a fix for this?

Need a good Android audiobook player.

Is the right place to ask for recommendations for a good, dependable, simple audiobook player for Android 9.0? I've tried several and didn't like them for various reasons. Most recent has been LibriVox by Bookdesign.biz . It used to be fine, if a bit cluttered, but recently it continually pauses for...
