Diamond headphones

Hello!
I usually use my HTC diamond as a mp3 player and I'm using the original headphones which came with the phone. But, sometimes, I put my diamond plugged in with the phones inside my jeans pocket and due to the key it has on the headphones, it makes the phone call the last number i've dialed. Is it possible to disable that key?
thanks!

My problem too
that's exactly my problem. for the love of god, help us!

why you don't try SRS WOW HD 121.A2DP or HTC Equalizer 1.0.2 for quality sound in your headphones for the better....

Navigation turn by turn voice to bluetooth?

I tried to use google navigation with my Jawbone bluetooth headset and the voice of the lady that gives you turn by turn directions are coming out of the phone speaker, not through my headset.
is there a setting I'm missing to get it to come through the headset instead of the phone speaker?
I checked in the google navigation and found nothing, nor in the settings > wireless & network > bluetooth...
Thanks in advance.

can anyone help me out with this?
thanks.

oh... well that's not very convenient...
that also explains why music don't go to my headset either... huh.
you know, actually, that's kind of stupid now I think about it.
who the heck at HTC decide on that? I mean, who drives with a stereo bluetooth headset on? it's illegal!
speaker on our phones aren't that loud to begin with. having the turn by turn direction come trough on the headset would have been beneficial...
go figure.
I hope they add an option so this is possible on the update(if we ever get it).
anyway, thank you very much for the info.

yeah, I just realized that...
stupid if you ask me. who the heck drives around with a stereo headset...
I mean sure, I guess it's fine to work with a handsfree carkit and/or patched through your bluetooth enabled car stereo but if you have your window down while driving, it's still hard to hear.
they need to come up with an option on the phone setting for either stereo or mono bluetooth connectivity.

Well thats not actually true. Make sure your next Bluetooth has Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP). It doesnt have to be stereo, it can be monural, mine is. All of mine are actually.‎ If it has A2DP it it will say it on the box. A lot of jawbones have that feature but i've noticed it buggy with the sensation. When a headset has A2DP, when it connects to the phone it connects as phone audio and media audio. With the sensation for me, on multiple jawbones (jawbone and jambox) it only connects both audio sources when it initially pairs. The next time it connects it only connects as phone audio. I have to unpair the jawbone then pair it again and media audio will work. I've updated the firmware on both of my jawbones and it didn't help. Maybe a fix is comin, who knows. Doesnt look like TmoUS is gonna get one any time soon
OP What model jawbone do you have? If it has A2DP then unpair it and re-pair it, it should work then.

hey, thank you for the info.
that just solved it right there. A2DP...
I own a Jawbone 2. I don't think this unit has A2DP.
I guess it's time to upgrade to a new headset.
hate to give it up though... I really like how it looks, hangs on the ear(fits my ear perfect, can't even tell sometimes I have it on), and sounds.
guess I'm off to shop for either a new Jawbone(if they fit my ear right) or a new brand altogether.
anyway, thanks again.

Plain and simple your bluetooth has to support media playing thru it

Skype sound output problem

All the Skype video calls I was making used to be outputting their sound over the phone speakers. Recently, however, this seems to have changed. The sound is now only outputted via the earpiece, and I do not seem to be able to find the cause of the change, nor how to change it back. There is no speaker toggle button. Makes the video calling fairly cumbersome, since I have to put on the headphones (or Bluetooth), and cannot have a couple of people take part in the call at my end. The recent upgrade (2.5) did not correct the problem. What is annoying is that it was working OK before. I am just not sure before what. Any ideas anybody? Android 2.3.4 (stock HTC/T-Mobile), Skype is most recent stock version.

try viber.

I just used this like 2hrs ago, Toggle the mic button. I thinks it's a red icon, I've had this problem before. If not then try clearing the data. Let's us know.

Switching to another tool (viber) is not an option - it would take me less time to re-code Skype from scratch myself than to get my parents on a different program.
This is still an issue. The only way I am able to work around it is to quickly plug in my earphones and the unplug them. That seems to force skype to switch to the speaker away from the earpiece. I guess I'll have to deal with this until a future version takes care of it (hopefully).

Working Headsets with microphone?.....

Im using some skullcandy aviators and it has a mic on it (I believe) but the bigger issues for me is that the buttons for volume and song control don't work do you guys know of any headsets with mics that work. I just hate having to hold my phone in my hand if im moving around, listening to music, then get a call so that I can talk through the speaker on the phone. Any help would be appreciated.

No,my htc headeset doesn't work right either.

I seen some Android headphones in radioshack the other day but Im wondering if theres some kind of app to give us funtionality?? I doubt it but I can hope I guess

The problem is that the Atrix 2 uses the new OMTP 3.5 mm jack which has the ground and the mic switch compared to a standard 3.5 mm jack. In order to have a functioning mic you would need an OMTP compatible headset or find an adapter.
I have had problems finding either...but finally found one made by nox audio (but can't find a place that actually sells it) and one made by blueant which you can order from their website (it is a spare part for their over ear headphone). I plan to buy one and try it and see if it works.

Ok great im going to look into it too, thanks for your answer

My headset seems to work just fine.
It can pick-up/hang-up phone calls. And when not in a phone call, the "answer" button activates the voice search.
They are JVC...I'll have to look tomorrow to see exactly what model.

Check this one

trick bluetooth profile

i bought a belkin songstream bluetooth thinking i could hook it up in my car and it should work for the media but is there anyway to trick the phone to think it can output all audio (media, call, notifications...) through it?

It should be automatic when u pair however if you goto bluetooth settings and than the settings for the device in your paired list there is a check box for media audio. It should be checked when paired and connected

I think you are out of luck in terms of "changing the profile." The profile is set by the device you are connecting to. If the device being connected to doesn't support something then it won't work.
However, if you buy a Bluetooth receiver that has a mic on it, then all your calls will go through the Bluetooth device.
In addition, I don't know if you have the option, but when in a call, is there a "Bluetooth" button on the bottom right of the screen? If so try pressing it during a call. If that works, then you might be able to use root and xposed or some other method to turn that on on every call when connected to Bluetooth.

yea i have been searching more and more and i think your right... with as far as people have gotten in rooting and everything u would think by now there would be a way to maybe even trick the phone into outputting call audio as media audio or something lol... yea i did try that with no luck.... ughhhh FML lol

trick the phone into outputting call audio as media audio
Well actually this can be done. I am pretty sure it can unless there is something hardware related that prevents it. But I am almost 100 percent this can be done. I have done it with things like GPS navigation sounds and things like that, so if the software making the call uses Java, it can be done.

sooo whos going to give this a try hahaha

Lol, since I already did it for other things, I will take a look. I kinda wouldn't mind having the ability myself.
I will make it in the form of an xposed module.
This is how I plan to make it work:
When an app begins to output audio, my module will create a notification. Inside said notification will be three buttons.
Each button will be an audio source:
Phone, Media, System
Clicking on one will change the currently playing audio output source.

Well I just recently got sprint, was on T-Mobile, not sure who I am sticking with yet... And felt like scrolling through the threads Btw, do you have Sprint unlimited plan? I have about 6 gigs used, and in populated areas like Reading, PA, places I would expect to see best speeds, they are next to pathetic with speeds at 0.64 mbps. Sorry for off topic stuff, but I just can't figure it out.

I mean, like here:
You place a call, and see the "end call" button and the other buttons for like showing keypad etc
In the bottom left, you should see a "speakerphone" button, after clicking that, while connected to your bluetooth, does it route the audio to the bluetooth device?
I ask because if it follows the android code, it appears that it should route the audio to the bluetooth device.
I had said about forcing it using xposed, and when I do that, you don't hear anything at all lol. The other person cannot be heard. In addition, it doesn't appear to be changeable during a call, the option would have to be applied before a call is placed or before a call is accepted. Which, for your case, one could detect if a bluetooth device is connected that supports audio, and if so, force the call audio to that.
Honestly though, it would be much simpler to buy a bluetooth receiver that supports phone calls. I got one from eBay for 11 dollars and have hooked it into my car without any issues. I may even go about disconnecting the bluetooth mic and routing my car's mic to it instead for better audio quality.
As I stated before, it is possible to force it, just a lot more work involved then forcing other audio (like pandora etc).
