Might be a weird one, but I use both a wired headset and bluetooth headset at times and I would expect the action button on both to do something. All I can get it to do at the moment is redial on a double tap.
What I am looking for is the type of things Windows Phone does. For example, it will read text messages to you, on long press of the button, it will activate voice actions so I can make a call or send a text without looking at the phone.
Is this possible?
Thanks

Hi All,
Is there a way to edit Smartskey to allow using one of the hardware buttons to trigger the Speaker On/Off option?
Thanks!
Speakerphone?
It's already hardware button binded to press and hold green call button, during a call. Handy in the car when your bluetooth headset needs a charge, quick press the green button to answer, then immediately press and hold to switch to speaker.
Or do you mean use the speaker for other purposes?

Tried it on my ETEN X500 and it places the call on hold instead.
In addition I'd like to be able to switch to speakerphone whenever, meaning
When I receive a call or place a call myself.
Not sure about Eten phone, but HTC's phone (most if not all), you will have to press and *keep holding* the green button long enough (while on call). Pressing it will give you 'Call on Hold'. Alt, you try PhoneAlarm .. or PocketPhone Zen (something like that) that gives you profiles (like Nokia phone) that enables you to have the option of getting speaker phone automatically upon receiving.
Hello, I am loving the sensation and mw600 pairing, however one key function does not seem to work - pressing the 'answer' button on the headset (short press) does not activate voice search. Long press triggers the mw600 device selection, double press triggers a last number redial... When the phone is ringing, short press answers the call successfully in the headset ..... I can hold down the search button on the phone itself successfully and this will activate voice search in the headset...
The key function of activating voice search from the headset itself by pressing the answer button fails.
I have tried workarounds with limited success, such as the headset button app, eg by assigning a double press on the play button to voice search... However I can get no functionality out of the main button itself other than answer and redial... Voice search capability via this button would be truly awesome.
Has anyone experienced this issue and / or any suggestions to make voice search via mw600 button functional?
I'm currently running the EnergyROM from 22nd December and it appears to work for me, though the results were awful - it never dialed the name I said, LOL.
I recently got a Skullcandy wired headset that has a built in mic and the small button that can be used for routing calls. There are a number of third party apps to control more closely the actions of wired headsets, most notably "Headset Button Controller", but there are other free ones, or other ones that say they're for specific headsets and are supposed to work across the board, etc.
When the headset's plugged in and I press the button, it does register somehow in that the OS (AreaRom on Galaxy Precedent, gingerbread based) tries to do something funny like call the last person I talked to or start voice recognition. But I'm not sure exactly what it's doing. On all the third party apps for controlling headsets, I never got any change in the limited and buggy behavior of the headset button. On the "Headset Button Controller", for debug I checked the button to alert when the button was pressed, and it looks like it wasn't picking it up.
But what I *was* able to do was find the keycode (231, if it matters) using the key number tracker helper that comes with the Button Remapper app (floating around here on the forums) and remap it accordingly. After I did that, I could assign one, but only one, function to it. I chose the skip track function. The apps that are on the market allow you to control single tap, long tap, etc. Would also like to be able to pause...
Since I have this kind of limited control, I wonder if it's an issue with the third party apps expecting a certain keycode? is there something that I could remap the button to that these apps would be expecting to get?
If anyone has ideas please let me know, and hopefully I can help someone with the remapping tip, which gives limited functionality to that button for me as of now.
I assume the answer is no without root, but just in case. Is there any way to change the way IDIOTS at Samsung made the mute works with headset?
My Nexus had short press on headset for mute and long press for hangup. This is much easier and intuitive method. I find myself constantly disconnecting from conf calls because of accidental press.
Hello. I'm running Android 7.1.2 and when the phone rings I have one button to answer. Then, I have to press another button if I want to direct the call to speaker or bluetooth device.
Does anyone know if there's a phone answering application that can have these buttons available, and depending on which medium you want to talk, you just press that button (e.g., speaker, phone, bluetooth)?
Thnx!
