Hi! I'm sorry if this is posted, but I've searched and found nothing on this issue.
My question is about the standard handsfree headset wich comes in the original package. My issue is that I don't use the button for calling people, but I would rather use it for... Changing songs or muting the sound. Something else... Is there a way to do this?
bump?
cause im calling people without even knowing, just listening to music..
I don’t think it is because it’s just for pick-up and to call the last called number or for voiced programmed numbers
still have the same problem...even while listening to music it starts a call.
does there anybody have a solution to disable this button?
Don't press it!
How hard is it to press? I don't know what you are doing to press it but I don't have this problem.
If you just want to listen to music then get a usb to audio out jack off ebay and plug in a nice set of headphones.
why should I buy a audio-adapter if there might is a software solution?
but we don't need to push the button as hard as the buttons on the diamond...it is much softer!
Hi,
YES there is a software solution. I was looking for it for one year, but then I found PlayPause:

Basically, you use the button to pause/play (double "click") and NEXT (long press) while the normal one click answers a call is untouched.
I am using it with COreplayer and it is excellent. Have to try several versions of PlayPause though.
Another solution is Microsoft VoiceCommand but more complicated.
Hope that helps!
cheers

This is what i did as a solution:
I grabbed the thing you have to push and kinda pulled it out. Then its broken, but you can still listen music without calling people.

You know, that button on the microphone bit of your handsfree kit?
It'll end a call in progress, and answer a ringing call. Handy.
Now, could an app catch it so it could be mapped to some function permanently, like any other button?
I think it'd make a neat skip or maybe pause button for media player apps.
App has already been released for this. Search harder.

My search-fu is clearly weak.
I just trawled this board, to no avail. Google also.
Care to give me a hint?
Just to be clear, it's not a bluetooth handsfree, and it only has one button, not a green and a red one (I gather they can be picked up by any old button mapper that will handle the phone's own red/green buttons).
Hate to have to bump this, but it's really bugging me and I still can't find this app of which you speak.
Help a kid out?
My apologies, I sound like such a biotch further up. Must have been having my "woman's troubles". >JOKE!<

PS I can never find that thread myself, despite it being pretty much the only solution to the problem, thus far.
Hi all, I have had my O2 IQ for about a month now and love it to bits - first XDA I have had with a decent radio rom from the box!
my only problem is that when I am in the car, obviously, I cannot pick it up to answer a call and pressing the call button to go to speakerphone is a pain as well as distrating, especially if tomtom is running, as it usually minimizes the program as well
I really don't like headsets, so really need some way to get the phone to automatically answer in speakerphone mode
I thought I would be able to do this in a profile, but cant see any way to do it, is there a program which can allow this?
I don't have any problem with using speakerphone in the car as others seem to, so it would be an ideal solution
I am running the original O2 rom if it makes any difference, not felt the need to mess with it yet!
any help much appreciated
regards
Robert
** BUMP **
Any idea's anyone.
I have the same problem.
Press green button for a while - speakerphone will be turned on
Same problem here, anyway to auto answer in loudspeaker?
@ZlydenGL - we don't have the time to press the answer button and then press the loudspeaker button when driving, dangerous
This probably isn't quite what you're looking for, but can't you plug in a wired headset into your phone when you're in the car?
My dad had something like that, with the microphone mounted above the steering wheel...

I've searched and searched without any results...
I have the original Handsfree that i got when i bought the touch pro, and i'm wondering if there is anyway to disable the buttons on it? or mabey bind them to do something else? like changing a song.. the main problem is that i sometimes double tap it (when it's in my jacket) and it starts calling the last person i called... its so annoying, the music stops and i have to hurry to cancel the call... i called my parents in the middle of the night because of this.
Help needed!
You're not alone (...even with a post )

Ah bummer.. no answers
i'm thinking of getting some regular headphones instead... but i like to be able to answer the phone without pushing anything on the mobile...
Hi everyone. I just got an HTC One X on AT&T today from the store. Up until today I had owned an SIII also from AT&T. The music player on the SIII kept freezing and the auto correct wasn't working so I changed to the One X. I listen to music a lot on my phones so I expect the music player to be reliable. Anyway, the music player on the HTC One X is great, however, it's been skipping to the next track without my touching the screen before the current song is finished. I was questioning my sanity because I figured maybe I was bumping the screen, but the player just skipped to the next song a few minutes ago and my hand was nowhere near it. Has anyone else had this issue and is there a way to eliminate it?
Naturally, this is somewhat discouraging as I've only had the phone for a matter of hours. A friend of mine is pressuring me to get an iPhone 5 (blasphemy!) and I'm actually considering getting one since android is clearly not cutting it at the moment. I understand there are other music players on the market but the simple reality of it is that I shouldn't have to download a 3rd party music app, plus, I actually like the stock app.
Thanks for reading!
EDIT: My library is all MP3 files, not an internet radio type thing if it wasn't obvious. The skipping doesn't happen too often, maybe a few times an hour. Beats audio is enabled when this happens, I haven't tried without.
Same Problem!
I have the same problem, when I'm listening to music the voice dialer suddenly pops up and starts dialing numbers from my call history to recent dialed or received numbers. this is so irritating. I installed an app called "headset Blocker" from Google play, it stopped the problem. But my question is why doesn't this phone support other companies earphones? And also whenever I put my headset into it, it displays the symbol of a headphone with mic, is it normal? If not what is the solution to this?

The reply above also raises an interesting point. Are you listening with headphones that have controls? Could you be pressing them, to make the track skip? If they are headphones meant for an iPhone, the buttons may not be doing what you think they should. Or their might be a short in the headset or the headset jack on the phone, that is making the phone think you are pressing the headset button. Have you tried another set of headphones, or listening on the phone's speaker?
Otherwise, try a factory reset, and if that doesn't solve it, swap it for a new one. Its not Android itself, I've never had this problem. Just a hardware or software defect with your particular handset, which can happen on any device, including the iPhone.

What do you mean by "support"? Do you mean, why don't the control buttons work on some headsets? Its because those controls were designed to work for an iPhone. Unfortunately, there aren't many headphones with buttons that work on Android out-of-the-box, but the mic should work fine (as well as the earphone audio, of course).
If you are trying to use a headset designed for the iPhone, and want the buttons to work, try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.chobirich.tools.mediabutton&feature=also_installed

Yes, that is normal. All it means is that headphones are attached. A bit obvious (as in, why do you need an icon to tell you that?). But intentional, nonetheless.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
I am using a pair of Sennheiser headphones, there are no controls on them. I performed a hard reset but the problem persists although less frequently. Do you still think I should exchange it for a new one? Since you brought up software defects, I will add that when I restart the phone or power it off, then back on; when I unlock the screen the dialer is shown instead of the home screen. This only happens during the first unlock, so to speak, after restarting. Of course I just press the Home key to get back to the home screen, but it's still a nuisance.
No controls in my earphone.
No, I'm not using earphones with controls. I'm just using an earphone I got from my previous android phone because the At&t version of HTC One X did NOT come with earphones. But I must say, when I listen to music without the earphones, everything is perfect, but when I insert my earphone the voice dialer keeps popping up, the clarity of music deteriorates, tracks go forward and backward and what not. This is also happening while watching videos using earphones. That is why I asked if this phone supports all standard 3.5mm jack earphones or only HTC earphones.
I can't seem to shake this issue despite trying a few different ROMs, though I didn't have this on stock, so I'm hoping someone can venture a guess as to what the source of the problem is. I haven't found any solutions through exhaustive searching, and I don't even see anyone with a similar problem.
Whenever the headset is plugged in, I get music and video files playing through the headset just fine, but as soon as I press the Google Search button (to go to Google Search, with the option for voice search and all) whatever sound was playing goes straight out the speaker until I close it or actually complete a search, sending to the browser. I've had this happen a few times in public, loudly disrupting everyone around me.
I'm using CM 11, 0224 nightly
I've disabled voice playback on the search app, but to no avail.
Does anyone have any idea how to correct this?
(Oh, and if someone can inform me how I can get my ringtone to go through my headset instead of speakers, or if I can't, which ROM can let me do that, that would be super great)
