Sorry took this long to reply to your post! We have been really busy for the past months. Thanks for your compliments! We work on this app very hard!  

I assume you are still having issues with this station. What error do you see when it tries to connect?

If you can reproduce the issue and collect the logs right away it should help me see what is going on inside your device. Collecting the logs is actually really easy. Please see this post.

Thanks for your support an help!

This feature has been added on previous releases. Thanks!

The timer can be used only while there is something playing. Please see the image below where the timer is located.

You can edit a paired BT device to only use media and not phone calls.

Simply go to:

1. Android settings-> bluetooth

2. Long press the paired device and press options

3. Uncheck "Phone"

Instructions might be a bit different depending on your devices android versions.

Well the removal of sticky broadcasts is mainly a development purpose driven change. If you are a developer the following might make sense...

We used sticky broadcasts to allow the OS to hold the last information we broadcasted. This allowed for a quick way to retrieve last broadcast information. Just like Android music player does... The main issue we ran into was that any updates we made to the extras for the sticky broadcast caused the sticky intent not to be updated causing home screen widgets to show old information once in a while. The easiest fix, stop using sticky and work out a new way to retrieve the last broadcasted information.

By resolving the issue mentioned above we actually didn't need sticky broadcast permission anymore. This in turn will make some users happy who kinda don't have a clue what sticky broadcasts did in XiiaLive but still accused the app of doing something malicious...

Hope this answers your question! :)
