HTC W100/R100 worst wired remote ever??

What a disappointment!!! NOT RECOMMENDED….UNLESS - You only use Windows media player, button functions do not work with other media players, even tried core player with the “wmp plugin adapter “ which allows core player to 'host' plugins that are originally designed for Windows Media Player 10 but alas that doesn’t work either.
Even if you don’t mind using windows media player you are still left with the problem that pressing a button on the w100 wired remote will turn your device screen on. This happens even if you have set a button in windows media player to turn the device screen off. If you lock your device screen then you can’t use the button you have set in windows media player to turn the device screen off because it is not possible to map the windows media player to a button on the remote. The screen will also not turn off automatically after a given period of time while windows media player is running.
So you might want to consider purchasing an extra battery if you decide to go with the w100. As for the headphones with the E100, don’t bother, you would have better sound quality from two tin cans connected by a piece of string, and less treble.
I also tried installing the latest audio drivers from HTC, first off they do not install and you get a message that you have the latest driver already installed. To install the driver you need to extract the files from the exe and install the cab file manually, still doesn’t help. If anyone has found a solution besides an rma or can recommend a wired remote that actually works satisfactorily feel free to post a reply.

Thanks for the feedback.
I was actually looking into buying their wired remote... thank god I read your post first!

Audio Manager
I have a HTC 6800 AKA Titan AKA Mogul AKA P4000
and ive updated my rom with a 2.16 custom version(the last untill now) that has HTC audio manager as a default player so when press play on the w100 it automaticaly starts HTC AUDIO MANAGER and not WMP but there is still that mute button that does nothing ... anyway what i wanted to say is that i'm sure that there is a solution for everyone .. we just have to wait till someone like colonel00 or anyone else buy that controller and hopefully find this value (.reg file)
For more info or testing just PM me

Wired remote works -found my problem!
I have had the same problem many have stated they have where the remote does not work with the Windows Media Player.
I talked to HTC's support as well as one of their product managers. The solutiuon for me was simple:
turn 'off' the little mute switch on the side of the control block. Mine was on and showed the RED paint. Turned it off and everything works . . . . .

In S2U2 you must activate this settings
Autostart=1 (start S2U2 when the device is woke up)
IdleStart=0 (start S2U2 when the device's backlight is turned off)
OffLCD=5 (x seconds after the backlight is off, device will be turned off; minimum is 5 seconds
Then you must lock your device. After 3-5 sec backlight will be turned off, S2U2 will be started, AND then HTC AudioManager will run in background. All buttons work fine, my device - HTC 3300 Artemis (Rom: Artemis_Touch_4.02_full_withnocube)

xda mini + motorola s9 = no music? HELP

Hi i'm a total newbie to this have paired the device works fine as a handfree but not as a headset?
a chap here sent me a file installed it and now i have additional bt settings for audio etc but still no music?
also now the mp3's upon my storage card will not play in window media player any longer?
At a total loss???
any help appreciated

I used to own an xda mini S just like you do and i used it with my motorola HT820 without any problems. First and foremost, I think you should uninstall that app that you're talking about (i think i read in another thread of yours that the person who gave that to u was under the impression that you had an xda mini and not an xda mini S).
Once you are able to uninstall it (via Settings-System-Remove Programs), pair your S9 again. Try it this way,
1st make sure both bluetooth are off (device and S9)
2nd Turn on your S9 bluetooth
3rd go to Settings-Connections-Bluetooth and under the Mode tab, make sure that "turn on blueooth" and "make this device visible..." are checked, then go to the Device tab, click on Add New Device
4th Follow the steps on your fone
***Make sure you have both "set as wireless stereo" and "set as handsfree" checked***
That should do it, now start your music player (windows media player or whatever u have) and you should be listening to ur music now...unless there's something wrong with ur fone or S9

Bluetoooth audio to laptop speakers

Hello!
I have a Bell Canada Sensation 4G, running Android Revolution 6.5.
I have a work laptop (Toughbook CF-52). I got given a brand new 2012 Ford F-150 yesterday, it has Ford SYNC. I successfully stream music from my Sensation to the Ford stereo over bluetooth, no issues. Works with Tune-In radio and XM radio apps.
Now, I want to do the same, keep my phone in a drawer, and play XM to my laptop via bluetooth. I have paired the device with laptop, connection works, even tethering.
I went into bluetooth options on laptop and made sure "Audio Sink Service" is enabled. Now I'm not sure what else I need to do to get the audio to play on the laptop. It's a company laptop that is locked down hard, limited admin rights, and only access to Windows Media Player. Any thoughts on how to get this going? I would just play XM through IE browser, but we are locked out of the site. I want to also avoid constantly plugging/unplugging speakers to my phone, hence why I want to BT the audio to the laptop.
Thanks a bunch! (additional info below)

Additional info from my searching...
I long click on my BT device like this guy did, but I dont get any options come up for bluetooth. I find zero way to get any extra options in BT settings on the phone that has anything to do with media, or audio, etc.

I had the same problem - I got music, but phone audio didn't work.
I went into Settings>Wireless & Networks>Bluetooth Settings, long-pressed on the bluetooth device I was using, selected options, unchecked both "Phone" and "Media", then re-checked them both.
After that, I got both A2DP media audio, as well as phone headset functionality.

Automatic music playing on BT

Hi,
Another question:
I have BT in my car. I also have car charger.
When I connect phone to car's BT and start to charge the phone, music starts to play through BT from phone.
How can i disable this automatic turn on of music player on phone?

Tell us something more!
Which musicplayer are you using!
Is there StockROM on your device?
Are you using apps to manage BT-connections?
...

Yeah, sorry, forgot to copy paste this:
I'm running 2.3.5 VoiduS 3D v1a [PROXUSER] with Sense 3.0.
Application is standard music player, nothing fancy from my side.
As far as i know, i dont have any apps managing my BT..

Needed some time to find that ROM, a little bit old one! You havent got updates this year
May a try on a ROM with regular updates would make sense?
But now to your problem:
I never used that ROM, so standardplayer there is HTC-musicplayer i can see on proxusers thread?!
I can't find any options in standardplayer where to choose an option to start music automatically after connecting to BT-device!
Following settings i find on Stock-Sense-ROM, so on yours it could be a bit different:
In "settings/wireless&networks/BT-settings/bluetooth devices" you can find paired devices!
Hold the device of your car, a popup will apear. Choose "options". Untick "media".
May it helps. Otherwise there also could be an option on your car's device which you'll have to tick/untick!?

Hmm, this MOD was only one that didnt explicitly demanded full wipe of my phone.
need to look into new MODs, I'm just too lazy to set up phone from the scratch again, since i already have all the settings i want set up.
As far as cars BT settings are concerned, i just tested removing paired device from car BT system and re-adding it with only phone function, but once i save it it automatically adds music function too. I guess phone demands a music function :S

Cannot control music on phone from Watch App

Hi All,
For the life of me i cannot get this working.
So basically i want to control tracks etc from the Gear S3 watch app, i have confirmed i have changed the app to look at phone and not locally.
It shows the current playing track artwork but is always stuck on "Play" symbol, and clicking pause, skip, achieves nothing.
It just tells me to play song on phone (even though i am)
I get the same issue no matter what app i use on the phone (poweramp,samsung,google music etc)
I have forced closed the music app from the phone, its never worked, any ideas?
I am using Apple airpods as my bluetooth headphones

I have the same exact issue, using the Wi-Fi model on a Note 8. I see the content playing on my watch (YouTube Chromecast and other videos), the titles are correct, but when I press Play, Skip or Rewind, NOTHING happens! I miss this feature from Android Wear so much!
Did you ever find a solution to this or does ANYONE know how to fix this issue please? Thank you!

OK, maybe not a solution, but can anyone confirm they have this issue and it's known?

I can confirm I have the same issue when streaming to my chromecast. I see the content I'm playing but i can't control it (nothing happens when i press the buttons, play, forward, etc...).
I have both Samsung Gear S3 Frontier and Galaxy S7.
Been searching the web but all I see is people who can and cannot do it but I can't find any solutions. I guess it must be a bug since other people claim they can do it.
Please help us!

Ok i found the solution for everyone who has the same problem.
In the Gear Wearables App under "Notfications" and then under "Manage Notifications" i had to enable the music app to send and recieve messages. After that it works perfect.

No Music App Under S3 Notifications

I was really happy to get your fix but when I went into notifications and manage notifications on Galaxy Wearables, there was absolutely no music app to toggle on. Am I missing something??

Thank you for creating this post... now I know that it is possible to control music app on the phone by watch!!!

Did you set the music player to control phone or watch? click on the watch icon in music app then a pop up to allow you to change to phone. The music app on the watch can play music on phone or watch but you have to set it to which you want to use

music app says connect to phone when phone is connected.
its not working nokia 6.1 plus music app says connect to phone when phone is connected. unable to control phone's music app through watch

I have the same issue with my Nokia 6.1 plus. When I play music on phone the background on the watch changes but can't control music through watch.
Talked to Samsung support and they said it is compatibility issue.

I am facing the same problem with my Nokia 8 as well. I'm trying to play music through my watch and it says connect to phone. When I click on connect it says "Couldn't connect. Try again?"

Music controls not working with Nokia
Yep, I have the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy Watch Active and Nokia 8. This is the only real compatibility issue I discovered so far. The Nokia has almost stock Android so I wonder what causes the incompatibility and whether it is likely to be fixed. To my humble opinion the music player is a basic functionality so I hope Samsung or HMD invests in a solution.

Try pairing it through regular Bluetooth settings.

That's not possible. You can only connect using the Samsung Wear app.

Yesterday I bought an SM-R600 running Tizen 3, the music app worked perfectly with my Nokia 8 on Android 9. Today, I updated to Tizen 4 and the music app stopped working. Is ther any way to downgrade my watch?

the music player app on the watch is broken in my opinion because on my nokia 9 i can use the spotify app fine so the phone and watch are working as they should , so now i just use the watch to control spotify , i use my huawei freelace headphones connected to the phone , i just use the headphones to answer calls and control the music if it isnt spotify lol , android need to learn from apple , the way their stuff works together makes android look like such a bodge job

go into the wear app and forget the watch, repair it and itll very likely work. You can also go into the watch's settings and select connect to a new phone

I’m also having Nokia 6.1 plus and having the same issue also. I can see the music cover but cannot control the music player on my watch. It’s sayin to connect via Bluetooth,I tried and it saying it cannot connect. Anyone any solution

Same problem here! Nokia 8.
