To me, 'hotspot' implies WiFi, but I have no experience with streaming over WiFi so I'm going to talk about Bluetooth (BT). I frequently stream SiriusXM via BT from the SXM app on my phone to the radio in my pickup, the radio in my garage, or the music system in my home theater. When I'm streaming via BT and I turn off the receiving device, the SXM app automatically switches to Pause within about 1-3 seconds. It's clearly a two-way protocol. I'm not sure how my experience relates to you and your situation, if at all. |

You're right, Hotspot means Wifi. And yes, I was talking about Bluetooth. I'm glad you figured it out, and I'm glad I gave details about the phone and the car. :-) >my pickup, the radio in my garage, or the music system in my home theater. When >I'm streaming via BT and I turn off the receiving device, the SXM app >automatically switches to Pause within about 1-3 seconds. Wow I guess I should look at the app when I turn off the radio. Usually I'm driving and try to distract myself as little as possible, but I could do this while standing still too. Also usually the map is showing on the phone, so if Tunein shows that it has paused, I wouldn't see it. I guess I could have thought to look without posting here, but it did not occur to me (Sometimes it's hard to believe I'm as smart as my mother said I am.) I've been in the car from Thursday night to Monday morning. About 600 miles. Plenty of time to have thought of this but I didn't. Tomorrow I will watch the phone app while I turn the radio off. I also got a new map DVD in the mail today. >It's clearly a two-way protocol. Wow. Those people who make this stuff are so clever. > I'm not sure how my experience relates to you >and your situation, if at all. It's directly applicable. Not necessarily binding, but I bet mine works like youre does. The situation is the same. If that's what's happening, it's pretty stupid of me to change to FM and then change back again just to pick up where I left off with the same annoying commercial I tried not to hear. LOL Thanks, Bertrand. I waited to answer you until I got an answer I liked better! |

I forget if I had turned off the phone or the app. And Tunein played for a full 10 minutes just on previously buffered data. IIRC my phone has 64GB of storage and maybe that made a difference. **I went to Jamestown, Yorktown, and Norfolk and I think they all had good coverage but north of there and south of Waldorf Maryland is very rural and there were a lot of areas with no T-Mobile coverage and not that much Verizon or anything else. The FM radio still worked, however, and AM though no station I liked. |

I'm not sure how my experience relates to you >and your situation, if at all. Well, by golly, you were exactly right. Sitting still I could watch the app go to Pause in less than 2 seconds after I switched from CD Changer (Bluetooth)** to AM. More than half the time it would switch back to Play when I switched the radio back to CD Changer. **This is a car and radio from 2005 and didn't come with Bluetooth. GTA Carkit has add-ons for many older cars to connect the phone to the radio, to play phone calls and webradio through the much better car radio speakers. I think it was about $140 and well worth it. Also has an AUX input. There might be another company that sells something similar. It works in my and I think most cases by plugging into the CD Changer jack in the back of the radio. I didn't have and didn't want a CD changer anyhow. If the phone is on and has once been paired with the car, it connects when the car is turned on. If the car is on, I think one has to do something on the phone when you turn the phone on. I've noticed that bluetooth is so clever that when I'm wearing bluetooth headphones and I turn the car on, the car takes over the bluetooth without my doing anything, I could have known bluetooth was 2-way because, when I turn the car off, or turn off whatever the phone is connected to, the sounds from the phone either switch to the phone's speaker or stop altogether. Of course changing from CD Changer to AM or FM is not the same as turning the car off, and it's still paired and connected because when I press CD changer again, it starts playing in under 2 seconds (in those cases where it restarts on its own.) So all those times I thought I was killing time until the ad was over, I was just fooling myself! And though the same ad is played 5 or 6 times an hour, at least it's not so omnipresent that every time I switch back, another copy of the ad is playing. |

I was doing the for a friend with a garage door business as a sideline. A nice part, but they didn't like nearby lightning strikes. Coincidentally, I just bought a reel of BF998s, which are the last remaining dual-gate MOSFETs, now LTB, alas. I don't use a whole lot of them, but the amount of design space I've been losing lately due to EOL parts is pissing me off. The worst was the BFT92, which was almost ten times faster than the next fastest remaining PNP (5 GHz vs 600 MHz-ish).
