[REQ] Remote Headphones: Skip tracks - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hello,
I've bought a pair of these frosty bad boys: [I can't post url's yet, but go to Amazon and seach for Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket Chrome For I-Phone] (excellent headphones, fyi) for my HD2
It has a microphone with remote which allows me to answer calls and hang up and when listening to music allows me to play and pause the music, but nothing else. On an iphone (I have tested them), I can also double-press the button to skip forward a track, something which doesn't work with the music player on the HD2 - a double-press will call the last dialled number.
Does anyone know a way, or know where to look in the registry, or a hack, cab, tweak ANYTHING to let me change the double-press action?
Double press to skip forward, and treble-press to skip back would be ideal!
Any help appreciated!
Thanks

help??!

If it's a wired headset you can use this program:

Button on diamond headset

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=498349
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
playagiron
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.

[Q] Change music tracks through headset remote controls?

Anyone know of a compatible headset where the 'next/previous' buttons can control the music player on the i9000?
My nokia TV-out cable works for TV output, so tried my Nokia headset (WH-701) that has music playback controls on it in the hope that works too, but only the call answer button works. I got the stock android lockscreen, so no longer have the touchwiz pull-down music controls on the lockscreen, so it would be handy to be able to change tracks from the earphone wire.
Tried searching for appropriate keywords in the forum but didn't see anything about this.
Thanks
it can easily be done on the bluetooth headset
no idea about the wired ones
I see would prefer weird ones, but might have to look into the bluetooth types. Is there any bluetooth headset you use or can recommend?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I've been wondering about this too. The lack of control through the headset is the only thing that is keeping me from selling my iPod.
NOKIA BH-503 work like a charm, it is a wonderful headset with excellent bass, gives you like a surround effect, somtimes i flet like it was 5.1

there are a lot that i can recommend actually, it just depends on your preference and quality.
if you don't care much about Brand names, then there are a lot of good ones for cheap on DX extreme site.
if you want specific brand names they go for a lot for the good ones.
other things to consider are portability, longevity of the battery, sound quality, capable of answering the phone or not, etc

Do you mean the music controls work e.g. let you control tracks?

Cool, will look into Deal Xtreme.

with MixZing player u can use the included galaxy i9000 headset to change music tracks and play/pause.
- one click: play
- another click: pause
- two fast clicks: next song
The built-in Music Player app doesn't respond to the standard Bluetooth AVRCP headset control buttons. Most other music player apps will (I use Cubed).
If you want to use your own (wired) headphones through Bluetooth you may want to check this (or similar items) out: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.8422
Could be useful if you already got a fairly expensive set of 'phones and don't feel like spending even more on a Bluetooth headset. Just a $13 bluetooth receiver that you plug your headphones into.
Might order one myself as the lack of buttons is a big reason for me refraining from replacing my MP3 player with my SGS (the others being the sound quality and battery life - I'm curious what the receiver would do to those two as well).
I used MUSIC MOD free from market. Its like Music Player on steroids. Double fast tap on mic button for next track . 1 tap for stop. Most 3rd party music players also support headset buttons. Just not stock player
For the OP:
I have a DXJG4 and run the stock music player with it. All my bluetooth stereo headsets have full avrcp support (play, pause, ff and rew). I use the Nokia BH-503, Philipps SB9000 and recently the Backbeat 906. All buttons work. And during testing a couple more BT headsets, all the buttons work.
However, recently I found out the BT in my phone "forgets" some headsets. And when they attempt to connect, they are either not in the list or connect using the Phone profile only (Media profile is not ticked).

I think I share your reservations about how it would affect the SGS's already not-too impressive audio quality.

Thanks for the advice! I think I might as well upgrade to bluetooth ones seeing as they are generally less hassle with no tangled wires etc! (downside is you need to keep them charged). Had a look at the BH503 but I'd prefer in-ear bud type earphones - hopefully there are bluetooth types somewhere!
I use the Jabra BT3030. Looks like a dogtag, but you can use your own headphones which is awesome, and all the controls work and it has a built in mic for handsfree calling. I have used a few bluetooth stereo headsets and this one is by far my favourite.
I just purchase the DR-BT 101 by sony,
and it works fine on the sgs default music player, as well as video player.
Been using it for 4 days so far, trouble free.
If u leave the bluetooth on your phone on, and close the music player, and press the ''on'' button on the dr-bt101, it will automatically turn on the music player by default, so long as it was the last bluetooth item you paired it with (eg if you were using a pc before this, it will pair with the pc if the pc program you used to pair it on is turned on)
Just a warning if you plan to use it on your pc as well, it has some problems with windows 7 64 bit. I used blue soleil drivers and that settled it.
also works with skype on both SGS and pc
I wouldn't mind posting a small review on the headphones if anyones interested
these samsung headsets work with the stock music player in froyo..
didnt work in eclair
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320553841349&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
one hit to button pauses , another resumes, and two hits skip forward a song
The standard headset (provided by the Samsung with SGS) is capable of changing music tracks through headset remote controls but for this you need a Power Amp Music Player which is available on Android Market.
Here is function which you can use with your regular Samsung provided standard headset
1 press: pause
2 press: next song
3 press: previous song
Why is everyone saying you need a special app to do these controls. The double click method works with the basic music player.

I believe the eariler posts were when the Galaxy S was in the 2.1 Eclair days. Now with the advent of 2.2 Froyo and 2.2.1 it seems Samsung have added this functionality only recently in the new firmwares.

Omnia 7 headset

Hi everyone, does the omnia 7 headset have a controller integrated to adjust volume and fast forward or backward music?
If not are there other headsets that are compatible and can do that?
It can adjust volume but no music control unfortunately...
Thats not really true.
You have three buttons:
"-","+" (for volume) and a third one.
One click on this button will pause/unpause
Two clicks will skip 1 track forward (back is not an option)
If the music is paused you can click and hold to start a voice action to call someone.
"If the music is paused you can click and hold to start a voice action to call someone."
Thanks ! I will try this but it sounds strange... I would like to "voice action" without having first my music playing... Anyway thanks for the tips because I was wondering how to use voice action with my headset

No thats not what I meant
If there is no music on and you tap and hold then you can make a voice action to call someone.
Sorry for explaining it so unclear
that's so awesome, thanks
i will use the headset now
but i find that you don't have to pause the music..if you hold it down, it will pause for you and resume after!

Moving one track forward is all I need (play music shuffled all the time)

three click replays the current track from the beginning. shame, i was hoping it would take me to the previous track.
normal behaviour on all player. 3 click mean previous button. do it once and it takes you to the beginning of the track. do it again and it takes you to previous track
Three clicks takes you to beginning of current track, 3 clicks again (reasonably quickly - like within the first 5 secs of a track) takes you to previous.
Dammit - this came up twice - see below

Not quite. 3 Clicks with a track like half way through takes you to beginning of that track. Three clicks within first 5 secs of a song takes to previous track (so you just 3 clicks to beginning then 3 clicks to previous.
so lets say, just like the iphone..thats awesome! will buy a new headphone then. used to listen to music on iphone with beats studio, but that thing is just ****
anyone know of a good inline remote that works with the phone apart from the on with the headpohnes that come with it? I have jabra clipper that works very well but i have to keep rembering to charge it so a inline remote would be good anyone know of one that wokrs
I'm using the Headset that was shipped with the HTC 7 Trophy as i lost my original headset and could not find any other headset with all the functions working.
"RC E160" is the HTC Part number.
Thanks im really after one that lets me use my own headphones like my jabra clipper. Problem with that is the battery in it only last 5 hours
I was so happy after I found out the RC can switch tracks, but the heaphones are so crappy on Omnia 7 that I would just use them for emergency ... no mid range frequencies at all!
these samsung headphones are a rip off! its been like 3 months and guess what? one speaker has stopped working and now the other is breaking up..jeez. I cant believe these manufacturers, they expect us to pay like £20+ on a new headphone, with its weak, flimsy thread like wire..no wonder they screw up. They need to give it a thicker double wiring.
Amy recommendations on a headphone ?
using blackbeat from alteclansing (bluetooth a2dp)

I use a Jabra BT620s, works great if you're into music (its a little bulky for just phone calls ) Works via Bluetooth (A2DP)
Edit: doh, just realized that by now the 620s is an older model, not sure if it's still for sale :-(

Does this phone support the headset button?

Hello,
When listening to music -
Does this phone support the wired headset button on newer earbud/headsets to pause and FF to the next song?
thanks in advance
Kevin
I'm using the headset from my Nexus One and it has the play, forward and back buttons and it works great. I like it because I can plug them in and hit play without ever waking the phone

I didn't know Android phones could work with headsets like that. Is it a particular headset or will an iPod compatible headset that has the track & volume controls work? If it's a particular headset, would you give me the MFR & model?

i'm interested in this as well. i have the pair from my nexus, but much prefer apple ones.
Thanks for the response.
I use these earbuds on my captivate -
JBuds J3M Micro Atomic In-Ear Earphones with Microphone (look on amazon or other places to buy...)
They sound great and allow me to stop/ff songs on my captivate with the PowerAmp music player.
Other music players work a little differently but still support pause/FF songs from the switch on the wire, which is a huge benefit and time saver.
good luck
Kevin
These are the same ones they gave me when I bought my Nexus One... they work really well for me!

Im using my Samsung headphones from my Windows phone I traded,
and I all I am able to use is the headphone button underneath the volume control which allows me to make a call to the last entry when I double click it, and when i hold it, it brings up the voice dialer. I swear the other day, I was able to go to the next and previous songs when i hit the volume controls up or down. But now that doesn't seem to be working. The volume buttons never seemed to work with the phone, so I guess its just depends what headphones you have.

Configuring headset with single remote button for track changes

Hey guys,
My default headset remote buttons have stopped working. I have a Samsung headset. But it has got only one button for play pause functionality. When used with default music player, I can't change the tracks with double or triple presses like most conventional headsets do. I know I can use other music players like PowerAmp but I don't want that. Can anyone tell me how can I set it so that it works for track changes while playing music with default music player?
Thanks,
- Bikram

go on play store and download jays headset control app, it works on other headphone brands. i've got a pair of jays one's and a sennheiser pair and both work perfectly. you can customise what the button does, etc, you'll see, it's very intuitive.
