Hi there.
Im trying to get my headset to work with Google Music.
I have the Jays plus one headphones, and they have a free app on the market to control what the button on the lead does.
Unfortunately, google music does not seem to respond to them. I cant select google music as an app for the program to use, it just says there are no players detected (i uninstalled stock player.)
This seems to be the case with Headset Button Controller too.
Is there anyway i can mod google music so these apps can see it?
Thanks

The head phones for this phone have the music control buttons but I was wondering if its possible to get just a 3.5 mm connector that have similar buttons.
I use my phone to play music in my car but it gets very annoying to have to unlock my phone, navigate to the music app just to replay that awesome song.
Any ideas?

The No Lock widget plus Google Car Home kind of solves that problem, also if your car stereo supports Bluetooth the next/previous track buttons on it will work, with almost any player app other than Samsung's Music Player.
Control are made possible by the 4 conductor pinout
http://pinoutsguide.com/HeadsetsHeadphones/blackberry_9700_headset_pinout.shtml
so, standard phone won't be able to control it unless you have a 4 cond. jack
EDIT: this seems to be the right one

doesn't say anything about the control... :S
The newest versions of Google Maps and Navigation have combined the Navigation volume with the Media Volume. I've read that by rolling back the version of the app to somewhere around 5.7 - 5.8, you can get your separate Nav and Media volume back, however I'd like to keep the latest version. Is there an app somewhere that allows for control of individual application volumes (similar to the newer versions of Windows' volume mixer)? I'd like to be able to separate the voice and media again.
Thanks,
Dan

I use this app to keep the damned speaker phone volume being linked the call volume.

Close but no cigar. This app only allows volume control of existing system functions like media, notifications, ringer, etc. Since the latest versions of Google Maps cram voice navigation and media (music, etc) into the same category, I can't control them independently.
A little back story:
I have a new motorcycle helmet with bluetooth capability. I need to be able to hear the navigation over my music. I'd turn music off and JUST have navigation, BUT... there is a delay between the navigation speaking and the bluetooth realizing it and switching back on from an idle/sleep mode, resulting in me missing directions.
What I want is for pandora to play sweet and soft tunes into my earholes while I'm riding, and for me to be able to crank the navigation volume WAY THE HELL UP so I can hear it. With the audio constantly playing through it I won't have the bluetooth wake-from-rest problem that I have using navigation alone.

It's been awhile, so I don't know if my memory serve me right. But there is a hidden menu for the audio settings for the Charge. If you do a search for the code, once you in, you can set the volume for navigation and media volume to balance out. There should be a threads in this forum for the recommended settings. Good luck.

The hidden menu option looks like it works (I can still do test mode, screen debugging, etc) but the dialer code for the audio menu no longer works (I'm on FP1, stock debloated).
Back to square one.
I'd rather have the app I'm looking for than try to hack the audio settings.
Well, I have finally found someone with EXACTLY similar problem!
I also ride a motorcycle and also listen to the music while riding and ALSO use Google Navigation!! Long ago there were good days when some version of GMaps/Navigation had a separate volume control but now it's gone.
It is impossible to hear anything with the music playing. I have tried several workarounds - one of them is to use PowerAmp and to force it to pause music every time any "other" sound plays. It didn't work. Or, well, technically it did, but the difference in volume levels between the music and navigation was so high, that I couldn't hear a thing.
I see a lot of people posting thingies like Super-Beats, Super-Duper-Beats, Super-Duper-Awesome-Beats, claiming that this is some sort of "audio driver" that is getting installed "on the system level" so that the sound is better/louder/deeper/crispier. I guess what we need is a similar solution, that would just add more "audio channels" - a separate one for Navigation, probably for smth else.
Is it at all doable?
Cheers'n'thanks!

I have found that while I'm listening to my music via the Music Play app, the song volume mutes while making the notification sound (the music does not pause though).
see if that helps.
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,

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.
Using the stock provided Samsung headset (volume up & down & single control button) has anyone found a hack or mod or app that gives you control of Google Music (next, skip, previous, pause, etc) it seems all it can control is volume (which us just the system volume) but no ability to control anything else.
Any insight?
Top button is volume. Bottom button if pressed once will pause music. If you do a quick double tap on the sides of this button will skip tracks forwards or backwards. Holding down this button will bring up voice search via google search/s-voice. Seems to be everything that works in google play music for me currently.
OEM headphones work the same with Google Music like any other app just like stated above. My Beats Mixr act the same also. Wish there was a previous track button though for either of them!

This does not work for me. The Samsung earphones, stock ones that came with the phone, do not control Google Music in any way.
Thats strange, your headphones might be broken. Mine are currently broken, they do absolutely nothing. Friend told me the resistor in the jack or the controller is probably blown. I checked with my friends set and his control my phone like my original headphones. Should've know something was up when one day i went to skip to the next track and it took a few tries to work, it just kept pausing. The next day none of my controls worked including holding the play button to activate voice controls
do you have access to any other headphones that work for android phones to try? Also have you disabled anything since I see you're rooted?
It is weird the phones don't work, I so rarely use them. Maybe 5 times total.
"have you disabled anything since I see you're rooted".. oh yeah, who hasn't the question is what item would interfere with that? I use 2 apps - App Quarantine and Autostarts to kill some apps from loading. Not sure which would/could even interfere with that. Especially when it (the phone) accepts the volume up and down buttons input.
I have a question, can you use the voice control feature with them plugged in?
Just composed a text message & used S Voice just fine. Is that what you meant?
I cannot control Winamp either even with the headset controls set to on in the settings. Related?
Sounds like app quarantine or autostart is disabling something to make the headphones work properly with your music controls. To make sure test your headphones with someone else's phone to make sure or disable both apps so everything is enabled to see if that works. And if it does then disable each one of your disabled apps one by one till you find the culprit and just leave that app enabled and disable all the others you wanted disabled.

Actually, I doubt it is anything done in quarantine or autostart. Autostarts just stops apps from launching upon startup or other conditions, but the apps and services will startup when needed. Just stops them from starting up unneeded on a phone restart.
App quarantine, all I did was quarantine dumb useless apps like Facebook and VZW Navigator, KIndke, Google+, Guided Tours, Kies, Setup Wizard and crap like that. Again, not likely anything that can interfere the more I looked at what I had disabled.
Also, I downloaded and tried an app called "Headset Button Controller" and it, in fact, showed that the button presses are making it to the phone which shows the buttons on the headset are in fact working. BUT it would not control Google Music as it claims "no music app is running" which is total BS.
I wonder if this could have anything to do with the fact I am still on OS 4.0.4 and never went to 4.1.x. I would not see how or why as both Google Music and these headphones and that phone came out before 4.1. But maybe before 4.1 the headset never actually controlled Google Music either? Which I would find shocking.
Something is certainly up here.
My headphones controlled Google music from release day of phone, so as long as you kept the Music app up to date I wouldn't see an issue. The thing is you can't even control Winamp which makes me believe its more of a software issue. Have you tried enabling all your apps and uninstalling App Quarantine and Autostarts just to see if that works?
Solved: Autostarts had the ability to disable "media button" for an app and so within Google Music that was disabled and that controls headset clicks and controls. I enabled that function and presto... it now works.
I'm experiencing a strange problem. When I try to use the HTC Music player or Google Play Music, the song appears to be playing, but no music comes out of the speakers. When I plug in headphones I hear the song. When I take the headphones out, the speakers play the music. When the song changes, back to no music from the speakers and I need to plug in headphones to fix it. I don't think it's a hardware issue because Netflix, YouTube, and other apps don't have this problem. Just the HTC Music app and Google Play Music so far.
Any ideas what's going on?

Media volume turned down? Don't know if it's got different settings for front speakers vs. headphones, but worth looking into.

Nope that's not it unfortunately.
This is a very bizarre issue. Other apps don't have this problem. I just downloaded a generic music player on the Play Store and this app has no problems either. It's just Google Play Music and the HTC Music app.
Clear data on both of them. Uninstall and reinstall GMusic.

I having this exact problem! But my problem seems to extend to 3rd party applications, like Shuttle+!
