Hi!
I'm looking for a way to make my wired remote (RC E100) useful on windows mobile.
Is there a program that could be used to reprogram the buttons?
I have 8 of them, vol +/-, play,next/back, mute and call/end buttons.
It would be great if some of them could be made to work as left/right, up/down at least.
Thanks!
I just searched high and low through the xda forums and no luck.
Did find a good keyboard remapper for Rhodium, but doesn't work with the wired remote
bump?
C'mon ppl don't tell me that there is no way.

tHANKS FOR ANWSERING.
I have tried it with to roms: Rajus 7.4
and now with psidoc wm5 matrik edition...same thing in both!
Help..please!
Mapping the Headset button,
Actually, thats a good point, but i dont think it is going to be that easy. During a call, the headset button puts the call on hold, and is equivalent to the green button on the phone. As far as i remember there was a thread somewhere a year or so back, and no-one managed to get the button to launch VC. However... that was before WM6
In the meantime, i can only suggest mapping the backlight button to VC.. Thats how i do it!
for me, I just simply press the headset button, and it activates VC immediately. I'm using the Beasty ROM, and a Pantronics headset
Well I changed to the beasty rom, and you are right..it works!
Execept- The button still dosent activate VC, I use the "light" button as someone mention before (thanks), but now my earphone mic does listen to it.
So any clue as how to get the button on the mic to work?
Ideally it would work like this.
Press to answer phone
Press and hold to activate VC
I ride my bike everywhere and that is why this would be IDEAL
THANKS!
Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to map it like that, the headset button only recognizes press(or in my case, press and hold to avoid mis-clicks). I did it by mapping the button formerly titled "Record"(the one right next to the camera) to VC, and now it works like a charm. Maybe you should try that too!
That's odd - I've always had the ability to use the button on the headset to either launch VC, or answer/end a call without having to do anything special at all.
Maybe it's something to do with the headset you are using? I've got a few, and a Parrot car kit, and they all work in this way.
Cheers,
Steve.
Bluetooth & Wired differences!
Lets tidy this up. I believe that we are crossing lines a bit....
The BLUETOOTH headset button often activates VC... thats not primarily the problem. I believe the problem is the wired headset... that one is the one a lot of people use, and i havnt found a way to make that launch the listening feature of VC as yet.

oh, that.
It won't work, I'm afraid. That button only acts as an answer/disconnect button, no special functions, and it can't be mapped to anything...
Thanks for answering...so the question...or solution is.....
Whar are the best bt STERIO earphones the except VC buttom mapping?
Million dollar question...
Try googling around!
I can't recommend STEREO BT headsets, I haven't seen any so far, even though I know they exist. Right now, I'm using a Plantronics headset, which is very comfortable, but the transmission power is a bit low, meaning I get some static even with the phone in my pocket, and the headset in my ear...
Been googling..so far NOTHING!

Hallo,
I found the Bowers and Wilkinson P5 headset for iPhone today, which comes with an inline remote control for the iPhone, iPod and iPad. Since I really liked the quality of sound and materials I am now wondering if the headset's remote would work with the Omnia 7. In the shop where I was listening with this headset, they only had the cable without remote (they are exchangable). So I could not test.
So, my questions would be:
In general do iPhone headsets (especially their remote control) work with the omnia 7?
Can I control volume, take calls, skip to the next track by pressing play 2x, skip back to the last song by pressing play 3x, pause/unpause or can I just control parts of this, if yes which?
Has anybody tried the mentioned headset on an omnia 7 or a comparable phone?
Thank you,
Christian
Hello,
I try it in decembr (when i buy my omnia7) and NOT work the remote control.
I remember that one fuction work but not remember wich :-(
I try it this nigh again and i will tell you.
I read few weaks ago that all the windows phone 7 headset are compatible and some brands will release headset for wp7.
You can take calls, skip to the next track by pressing play 2x, skip back to the last song by pressing play 3x, pause / unpause. (Only the center Button is working)
You can NOT control volume.
And the microphone isn't working.
I'm using a iPhone headset but it doesn't have buttons only microphone. The microphone on this works with my omnia 7.
i have Altec Lansing BackBeat 903 and they are working perfectly.
i think that any a2dp device should work!

great info.
I`m loking to buy this beats and your opinion was very important!
If you do still end up getting them (they are seriously good except for the lack of mic functionality with my Omnia 7) don't judge them based on how they sound through an Omnia 7 - they still sound amazing, but for some reason its crapper through the phone than a 6 year old iPod :/
BOSE MIE2i has 3 buttons, VUP, VDOWN, START/PAUSE.
Only START/PAUSE button works, and others not.
i still have sitecom cn-530 headphones bought when I had the htc S710, and they works perfectly, play pause, vol up vol down, skip track..
Beats by Dr Dre don't work either Headphones work fine along with centre button but volume buttons and mic don't work
I've bought these earphones for my HTC Desire:
V-MODA RRMT-E-NERO Remix Remote - Black (Inline Volume Control)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/V-MODA-RRMT-NERO-Remix-Remote/dp/B0037KLP72
As soon as they arrived I realised they're designed for Apple products only, so they would work but the controls wouldn't.
Pursuaded by a Head-Fi forum member I opened them, only to confirm what I was afraid of: The only thing working is Play/Pause.
You see, the earphones have 3 buttons: Vol-up, Vol-down and a multi-function button. The multi-function button is meant to work in the following way:
- 1 press: Play/Pause (worked on my Desire)
- 2 presses: Next song
- 3 presses: Previous song
On my HTC Desire though, when I press twice it goes to the previous song! And three times would just go to the previous song and then pause...
I was also suggested to buy this cable adapter that supposedly should fix the controls of these earphones for non-Apple products, but turned out to be absuolute rubbish:

Does anyone have any idea how I can make my earphones' controls work with my HTC Desire?
Thanks,

Either Headset Droid or Headset Controller will probably (hopefully ) help you out.
Search for them in the market, I believe both have a free trial so you can check if it works before laying your money on the line ^_^
I personally use Headset Droid, haven't tried the other though. I had (cable broke on me, typical) a single button headset, and it allows me to assign actions for multiple button clicks or multiple button clicks ending in a long click to that one button. For you it'll allow you to assign the same multiple functions to all your buttons.
I've found that clicking interpretation is off and on though, so keep that in mind as you compare apps. I need a new headset first before I can use it again, so currently can't test anything

Thanks for your help, but none of those apps work.
I've tried Headset Button Controller, Headset Droid and Remote Control for Earphones, and non of them even register the clicks!
Any other ideas anyone?

Moving to Q&A
I have searched long and hard for this but cannot come up with simple solution. I have a motorola boom bluetooth headset. It has just one button on it, coupled with two volume buttons. ALL I want to do is be able to replicate the exact functionality that my wired headset has where it pauses/resumes the most recent audio stream when i hit the play button.
What is the best way of doing this?
Thanks.
Weird problem. Usually the Next/Previous buttons on the headset can let you move tracks backward/forward when you're playing music or listening to podcast/audio books. Some apps allow you to reassign them becoming fast forward/backward. The new Nexus 5 I just receive, the headset buttons can only do volume up/down, no matter which app I'm using. I don't see anything in system settings.
Anyone has same issue?
I found the same thing. Android support of headphones and accessories is terrible. There's no universal standard for three-button remotes and so far i've only found some Samsung earphones that can even do volume up/down. The rest only do play/pause.

The same headset functions normally on my Nexus 7 and HTH Inspire 4G. Is it possible LG doesn't support headset remote control?
