Hi,
I came to a Canadian S4 from my HTC One and One X+ before that. I have a set of the Beats Solos and UrBeats that are the Android specific versions (three button set up, NOT the iPhone versions). I am wondering if there is a way for the skip track buttons to work? They work for volume; but in that my volume controls are accessible from the side of the phone without unlocking it, it would be more advantageous to have the music controls work instead. I have seen lots of head set apps but they seem to work by assigning multiple presses into commands instead of using the three button set up I already have. And as a note, these did work this way on the HTC devices.
Ideas?

I know a few ROMs have long press volume keys to skip tracks while screen is off
built in there a mod thread on here how to do it on stock but I can't find it ATM u could try those two optoins
And the reason it works on HTC is one all headphones probably do this on HTC it built into the software plus their beats audio HTC has beats audio stock smasung does not

Hello,
I was playing with my friends SGS2 and browsing through the SGS2 section, and found out that couple of their roms include the fix for HTC headset button, which allow users to use their HTC headset buttons with their SGS2.
I was wondering if that could be achieved also with our g2x? I currently have a Nexus One Headphone (ones that came with the Nexus One) and I could not get the Next/Previous Track buttons to work. Only the Stop/Play button works. Would be great if someone could get it working.
i have the same issue maybe we can do something about it i just dont know where to start...
I own a pair of Apple in ear inline headphones which I bought for about 80$. I don't plan to spend more money than this for any other headphones so I want to know if anyone can verify the compatibility with these headphones and the HTC Sensation. I am thinking of either getting this phone, the T-Mobile SGSII (depending on the performance of the new processor), or the Amaze 4G/ HTC Ruby. I was leaning to the HTC Sensation before because I know it comes with some inline headphones, but at the same time I know the quality of those headphones aren't as good as the ones I'm currently using. I don't know where I heard this (and correct me if I'm wrong) but I think I remember someone said that Samsung and Apple use similar stereo input so the headphones might be compatible with the SGSII. If someone could also verify this, it would be very helpful. Lastly depending on the compatibility of the headphones and if the rumors are true of the Amaze 4G/HTC Ruby using the same camera as the MyTouch 4G Slide, then I would probably lean to this over the Sensation.
Anyways I just need verification on the compatibility of these headphones with the Sensation and the GSII so I can decide on a phone to purchase next month because I'm about 6 months overdue for an upgrade.
I have tested stock Apple earbuds from the iPhone 4 (so they have the play/pause, volume+, and volume- buttons).
The only one that works is the play/pause, which works flawlessly. Fine recognition of single, double, and triple clicks.
Neither of the volume buttons work, however. I used an app called Headset Button Controller (Market link) for its "Debug Mode" that detects button clicks. Unfortunately, the Sensation doesn't even recognize any input from the volume+ or volume- buttons.
Hope this helps!

Thank you very much. I will definitely take this into consideration. I just have a few extra questions though. Does the microphone work and can the double and triple click be used for skipping tracks and FF/RW through songs(by holding double or triple click)? That's the only real thing I need to know now. I will try to get by with the volume keys.

I'm a HTC Arrive/7 Pro and I love Windows phone but the only problem I have is lack of headphones support.Meaning unless you have the original ones that came with the phone you wont be able to skip tracks/control voume(Only button that seems to work for me when I try different headphones is the Pause button).But recently I seen this:

Klipsch made a headphone with 1 button that you can configure to the diffrent things(1 click pause/answer,2 clicks skip music etc...) so I was wondering would it be possible for someone to make a app like this for Windows Phone 7?
That would be wonderful & popular app for Windows Phone.

Same I have the solo HD and the controls work perfectly on my iPod touch 4th gen and my sister iPhone 4s but only the pause button works for me...not even the mic works
My motorola headphones work perfectly (they have volume up/down and play/pause), would be nice if you could change what they do though.

Have you tried to double-press the pause button to skip forward, and triple-press the pause button to skip backwards? Also, press and hold to initiate voice commands.
I've found this works with virtually all headsets. The only things that typically do not work are digital volume controls.

Appears to be a HTC thing... multi press works fine on the samsung and LG's...
Sucks for us HTC owners...
Best bet is to get a bluetooth adapter.. Sony erricsons MW600 is a good one... can use any headphones, volume control, skip tracks, voice cmds and it has a little screen that tells you what track is playing or who's calling....

Really trying to find a Bluetooth free solution.I use my phone ALOT for music and having Bluetooth on will just decrease the battery.
Bump......
I've bought these earphones for my HTC Desire:
V-MODA RRMT-E-NERO Remix Remote - Black (Inline Volume Control)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/V-MODA-RRMT-NERO-Remix-Remote/dp/B0037KLP72
As soon as they arrived I realised they're designed for Apple products only, so they would work but the controls wouldn't.
Pursuaded by a Head-Fi forum member I opened them, only to confirm what I was afraid of: The only thing working is Play/Pause.
You see, the earphones have 3 buttons: Vol-up, Vol-down and a multi-function button. The multi-function button is meant to work in the following way:
- 1 press: Play/Pause (worked on my Desire)
- 2 presses: Next song
- 3 presses: Previous song
On my HTC Desire though, when I press twice it goes to the previous song! And three times would just go to the previous song and then pause...
I was also suggested to buy this cable adapter that supposedly should fix the controls of these earphones for non-Apple products, but turned out to be absuolute rubbish:
http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk...hones_on_different_brands_of_phone.13276.html
Does anyone have any idea how I can make my earphones' controls work with my HTC Desire?
Thanks,

Either Headset Droid or Headset Controller will probably (hopefully ) help you out.
Search for them in the market, I believe both have a free trial so you can check if it works before laying your money on the line ^_^
I personally use Headset Droid, haven't tried the other though. I had (cable broke on me, typical) a single button headset, and it allows me to assign actions for multiple button clicks or multiple button clicks ending in a long click to that one button. For you it'll allow you to assign the same multiple functions to all your buttons.
I've found that clicking interpretation is off and on though, so keep that in mind as you compare apps. I need a new headset first before I can use it again, so currently can't test anything

Thanks for your help, but none of those apps work.
I've tried Headset Button Controller, Headset Droid and Remote Control for Earphones, and non of them even register the clicks!
Any other ideas anyone?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Quesition. Does the earphone works with iphone earphones? I got a xperia s and earphones that work with iphones doesnt work on the xperia s. So will switch to one x if earphones work. I have the b&w c5.
I don't have any Apple brand iphone headphones, but I've got a pair of Denons that are designed for iPhone/iPad/iPods. The volume keys do nothing, but the play/pause button works as expected. (Although I had to disable Cybertron Voice Commander, as it was owning the headset controls.)
Once we've got root (or maybe I'll just use my DHD), and I get some spare time, I'm going to see if I can set up a custom mapping so that the volume buttons either function as volume buttons, or like the skip/search buttons on HTC headphones.
My roommate has iPhone headphones, I'll see if he'll let me try them out on the OneX.

I would <3 you forever for something like this. I have a pair of klipsch headphones with the apple volume control that I love, would be awesome to get more functionality out of it.
The weird thing is that my Nexus One came with a headset that has 3 buttons (play/pause, back, skip), but 3 button apple headsets don't work.

This is because the buttons on iPhone headphones are mapped differently than Android headphones. Think of the headphone buttons as a small keyboard. When the play/pause button is pressed, it sends a key signal to the OS. For argument's sake, let's say it sends the letter "A." Both iOS and Android recognize this as the play/pause function, and will work no matter which brand of headphones you use. For Apple's volume up/down, it uses "B" and "C" and the Android skip/search buttons are "D" and "E." Android doesn't expect "B" or "C," so it does nothing when those keys are pressed. If I can find in configs (I pray to god I don't have to compile ICS from source to implement such a small change) then I can hopefully tell Android to respond to "B" and "C." That's oversimplified, but gives you an idea of what I'm going to attempt.
I'm kinda surprised this hasn't been done before, which is maybe a testament to the fact that it's gonna be harder than I hope. If it turns out to be the best-case scenario (just need to alter some config files in the running Android system,) then maybe I'll find time to make an app for customizing headphone buttons.
Depends how it is implemented. I did some work on the HTC HD2 to get headphones working in ICS and I stumbled upon the code for headphone controls. It was basically a message coming in from the I2C bus to the Linux kernel driver responsible for audio. It then sent the proper messages up to the DVM to tell Android which button was pressed.
You will probably need to modify the kernel driver if the headphone use a different message type.
If you want to just remap what the buttons do (i.e they are just mapped incorrectly), then you can use something like:
