Media control is not possible through the 3.5mm connector on i9000, only mic and answer key will work. You can use those Nokia compatible 3.5mm earphones with mic. Please use the search function often.

You say that media control remote for SGS is impossible that in future no company cannot even make it because SGS hw do not support it??? it is very important to me to have 3.5mm corded headphone with media buttons. I am former user of 5800 XM and heavy music listener with media keys.

Did your nokia use a 3,5mm minijack port?

The button on a wired headset works to play/pause the music in 3(cubed) and DoubleTwist media players, or to answer/hang up calls in the phone app.
Haven't worked out how to get voice-dialing with the button though - does anyone know how to do this?

What wired headset?

What'd you want to do to? Next/Previous? Try PlayerPro, it can override the volume controls, thus giving you a next/back option from your volume rocker.

Yes indeed, i want to have Next/previous. I am using PowerAmp though, and i would like to have wired headphones with the media keys.
Anyone?:/

Buy PlayerPro in the market. It's an awesome music player, lacks EQ though ;(
But the main reason why it's my favourite is it supports being able to pause, previous and next song.
1 Click - Pause
2 Click - Next song
3 Click - Previous song
I'm using the earphones that come supplied with the Galaxy S. Being able to control you music is the only thing I miss from apple hardware but it's came to android through PlayerPro. Couldn't recommend this app any more.

But still there is a lack of inline volume control, if you like something like the remote of 5800, you must use bluetooth.

For pause and song skip you can use the latest Doubletwist. A fast double click of the stock headphones skips songs, and of course one click pauses.

If you are using the stock headphones that came with the Galaxy S then power amp has an option to make the headphones work 1 click play-pause/2clicks next song/3 clicks previous song. Go into settings-headset and check doublw/triple press. All of this while maintaining the telephone answering and speaking ability. My one gripe is that the sound quality isn't so great on those earphones. Dont get me wrong compared to the stock earphones from apple they are practically sure e3's but I would like to option to use my senheisers but still be able to use the mic (the voice search app is really useful).

The latest JPX 2.2.1 firmware now does the same thing with the stock Samsung music player.

I just received 2 pairs of Samsung earphones for the Galaxy S, I always had the Samsung EHS48's (they came with my phone), and I ordered another pair of them, but now I also have the EHS60's.
The EHS48's are available here for next to nothing: http://cgi.ebay.nl/GENUINE-SAMSUNG-...ssories_RL&hash=item230c2e73d1#ht_1945wt_1139
I think the sound quality on them is good enough, the EHS60's sound the same, but I think they look better and they fit better in my ears as well. I found them only in a Dutch webshop (I am Dutch), but they are rather expensive compared to the ones on eBay above.

Ty!
Can you also link to the EHS60's?
And the EHS60 has the media button or whatever so you can change track?

I only have a link to a Dutch site: http://smacc.nl/samsungmobile/accessoire/samsung-ehs60b-stereo-headset
It has the same button on the wires as the EHS48, so just one button to answer phone. But since I use PowerAmp I can use it with the double/triple click.

Awesome dude! I use poweramp aswell, so i guess i will buy the eh60! Will look at ebay.
Thanks again!
(I still think it should work with other headphones)

Hi guys.
I just had Samsung's AARM040EBECSTD headphones for 7 US$ and as you can see in picture it has mic + button + volume. So you can use for Play/Pause, Next track (double click with newest SGS fws) and volume. PowerAMP supports Previous track with triple click too.
The good side is I have tested and it works with any standard headphone with 3.5 mm plug. Mine is Koss Porta Pro and works perfectly. It is great when you go out during winter. One controller and most of the features are delivered.

[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

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.

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.

[Q] Beats and Skyrocket

So I have the Beats tour w/ Control talk. Whenever I plug it in my skyrocket it always lowers the volume to 0 gradually. Does anyone with beats headphones experiencing the same thing?
One more thing, on all my iPhones, I was able to skip songs by double tapping the mic key on the headphones. This doesn't work with the included headset & my beats. Only plays/pauses. Is that normal?
Control talk only works with iOS products. It will play/pause on android, but that's it. I have beats solo HD and have not experienced the volume issue. The audio output from our phone isn't great to begin with, so I have the Equalizer app, which does a nice job of making the audio sound better.

That sucks. What headphones have the same functionality as the iPhone headphones on android devices?
If you use the music playerpro music player it had the ability to change settings to allow play/pause skip forward/skip back with the control talk controller (I use the solo hd's), also is has a downloadable dsp pack that makes the eq function in the player superb there is a 5 or 7 day trial in the app store give it a shot set it up. I personally don't see using another music player since finding it,I delete all the players now in roms. Hope it works for you

I was looking all over for this info for my beats...thanks!
Such a shame that you cant use the control on the mic to skip, rewind songs. Having to take out the phone after every other song is a HUGE hassle especially when you're on the move. Glad I kept my regular iPod, I definitely miss this feature on my iPhone 4.

You can skip, play, go back, pause all from the mic if you use player pro you just set it up within the player options, also has option to use volume buttons to skip forward and backwards

There's an app called "headset Button Controller" out there that you could try, see if that helps. Not sure the volume up/down can be considered as "buttons" with this app though, if so then it should work. You should be able to configure the app so a long press on button 1 for example increases the volume (if button 1 can = volume up or down button on the control talk clicker...).
You can try it for free - I would post a link but I'm new so I'm not allowed...

Bluetooth Audio Streaming/Bluetooth Volume

Has anyone noticed that once connected to a bluetooth stereo (such as your car), you cannot lower the bluetooth volume via the phone? I noticed that the steaming audio was distorted, so I tried to lower the bluetooth audio by two notches and nothing happened. Lowered it all the way down and nothing changed with the volume. Anyone else seeing this? Im not digging this audio distortion in my music!!

Yes, I have the same problem and its prohibitively loud on my headphones
Its great via a2dp but not tried changing the volume on the handset. No distortion at all. Everything is fine via headphone jack as well. I'll double check the a2dp tomorrow.

I had to resort using the an equalizer app to bring all the levels down a few notches.

It's anyone that is using A2DP notice distortion on higher frequency posts of music? This is an issue that started back on android 4.2 and I'm still hearing on 4.4. I tried the equalizer but it didn't make a difference.

Root.......install Viper4Android....PROFIT!!!! Once you've tried it you'll never want to hear the base eq settings again(it out does Poweramp as well).
I've also noticed this problem. My bluetooth headphones are damn near unusable. It's infinitely too loud at all volumes. I'll try the eq trick.

Yes I noticed this as well the other day when I was streaming to my car. Very annoying.
Weird.... while i was watching a video on Youtube in the car the other day, i was able to adjust the volume with the volume rocker. It actually showed a volume bar with the bluetooth logo, too... not just a system volume.

Are you saying that if you install Viper4Android that the high end frequency distortion goes away?
I stream music in my car occasionally, and it sounds fine. No distortion at any specific frequencies, other than an overall loss in a bit of quality because of the bluetooth connection.
Generally, it sounds fine. It allows control of the bluetooth audio output, as well as the device itself having control (obviously). I'd say if you're having distortion turn down the output on the phone itself to like 80% of full, and then control the volume on the device you're outputting to.

You can tune the eq settings to take it down a notch. Musical quality overall will improve. Viper4Android IMO is a much much better sound mod than anything else out there.
No all a2dp are the same
Yes, I've seen this. What's interesting is that not all of my a2dp headphones are acting the same.
I have two different LG a2dp headphones. The HBS-700 and the HBS-730. The 730's are supposed to have higher quality sound (though it seems to me all BT audio takes a hit). The 730's work fine with my Transformer, but are way too loud on the N5.
The 700's work fine on both. There is a difference in how the volume responds between the two headsets....
On the 700 the N5 rockers seem to control the output level from N5 while the 700 rocker separately controls the headphone volume (in combination I can get to a comfortable level).
On the 730's both volume rockers seem to control the BT output on the N5. It's like the volume of the headphone is permanently max'd.
I believe this is supposed to be a new 4.4 "feature" in that you shouldn't need to muck with both volume rockers. The problem could be with the headphone in that it's not adjusting it's volume simultaneously and in combination with the N5 level.
So after some testing I found that no combination of settings from Viper4Android fix the A2DP issue of distorted audio at the higher frequencies.
This was how we worked around this issue on Android v4.3...

The higher quality sound for the 730s really only applies to devices with aptX codex support. Unfortunately our nexus 5 doesn't support that. Still looking for a solution to the Bluetooth high volume problem too.

There is a dedicated Bluetooth tab in Viper4Android where you can lower the volume without effecting speaker/earphone jack. Maybe try that.

The volume issue is app related. I have no issues using Play Music, but when I use Pandora the volume is stuck on max. As far as sound quality issues I am not sure. I know the bass really seems to distort my headphones, but I have no other BT headphones to compare.
Anyone here been able to stream music to a Toyota unit? Seems like my 12 sienna lost the stream ability from android after 4.1 jb.
I just tried my new HBS 730 and they are loud no matter what I do with the volume. I installed Equalizer and it help a bit, but it is still a tad loud at the lowest volume settings.
I hope they find a solution to this...
UPDATE: Just tried the HBS 730 on my HTC One S and it has no problems with volume: it is pleasant to listen to.

SmartWatch as Babyphone with attachable microphone?

Hi guys,
because my wife is deaf, we are thinking about buying a SmartWatch and an attachable microphone and then trigger a vibration on the SmartWatch whenever a noise is detected on the microphone, which is attached to the baby's cloth.
Do you know if that is feasible?
Do you know of any similar solutions?
How would you implement it?
Thanks for you help!!
I don't think there's anything like that out right now. Closest I've got is an app called Watcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartphoneremote.watcher .
It turns any phone into a remote camera (within bluetooth range) & the picture can be viewed on the smartwatch.
The app can also be set to detect movement, which when picked up alerts the smartwatch via vibration.
You can also enable & disable flash via the smartwatch.
Could be worth emailing the dev to see if he can make something more tailored to your needs.
Good luck.

Thanks for the link - it is close, but instead of a camera with motion sensor, we would need a microphone/camera with audio sensor which in best case is also small enough to be attachable.
Do you think it could be implemented by ifttt . com/wtf ? (then I guess both the attachable microphone and SmartWatch must have internet connection)
It's more of a regular app issue for you I think. The watch + WatchIt is good enough to forward notifications (and vibrate). You just need an audio sensor app for the phone.

It works on any Android smartphone. When phone detect a sound it send a sms on other phone for example your phone wife (and if you would a smartwatch can alert when sms is received). You do not need other mic, just a phone in baby room and other with you. (so 2 phones)

Yes, but I guess a microphone would be better because it can pick up local sounds much more effective if it is attached to the babys cloth. Also when she is out with the baby carrier it would work
However, 2 phones would be definitely an alternative solution!
I know this isn't related, but after reading the questions and answers above it just goes to prove that there are some decent people around willing to help those that need it instead of flaming them or complaining that it isn't in the right thread etc.

You could use a bluetooth headset pinned to the cradle to catch the sound

Do you know of any app which would trigger an alarm if a sound is detected on the attached bluetooth microphone? I tried to find one, but all I read is baby phone apps which would trigger to call other phones if sound is detected.
That would be the optimal solution, please let me know if you know of any software.
I am also thinking about writing a small app myself, but I wouldn't know where to start.
I've found this one:
Mobile Alarm System Lite
and this one
Motion & Sound Alarm
that should do the trick.
Since the second one is not for free, you may want to e-mail its developer and ask if the app supports the bluetooth headset =)
As an alternative way, you could try and teach your son to say "ok google"

I think there are no difference between internal or BT mic. When a BT sound system is plugged sound must be pass through BT system.
I`m not 100% sure about this, since - I suppose - you should tell the app the source to be listening to, for sound triggering
but it`s just my assumption

Often (always) BT system has property with checkbox "use as audio phone system".

brilliant!
I didn`t know it (so far)
thanks for the hint :good:
I now bought a Sony Smart Watch 2 and use it with a Samsung Galaxy 4.
Unfortunately I could not find a satisfying solution.
The "use as audio phone system" option unfortunately does not appear for a Smartwatch.
Mobile Alarm System Lite unfortunately only vibrates on the phone, not on the connected Smartwatch.
WachIt! cannot forward this signal from Mobile Alarm System Lite.
The only solution which is working (but not a good one) is to trigger sms message to the same phone and WatchIt! converts it to a vibration notification. However, it is only a small vibration from WatchIt!, which could not wake my wife up in the night. And of course we would have to pay for each sms (we dont have unlimited).
I am close to sending the watch back :crying:
Do you have any other ideas??

All thing send in notification system can be notified. Try to find setup on the app.
Otherwise try other app than Watchit. I use it first but now I changed because watchit not notify all my app. Now I use "AllNotify".
The fact is that all the sound detecting apps don't use notifications at all.
I'm trying to find a way with Tasker, using these apps' sound detectors to trigger some actions and creating a series of notifications on the smartwatch (activating the watch's alarm would be perfect, since it vibrates a lot).
