So i have an old pair of headphones from my s3. the play/pause button works fine with the M8, but the volume up/down buttons only skip tracks and not change the volume. i can skip tracks with double/triple pressing the play button. would really like to see something control the media volume with my headphone buttons.
im sure it is... but the xda post i found for it doesn't address what i posted about.

I even purchased the oem headphones on HTC's site that says compatible with M8, still no dice. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.
i have the ones that came with the M8 and i noticed only one button. i just dont get why they need to go in their own direction and remove buttons instead of comply with the current accessories and just add the features. i run with my phone in an armband so a one button remote has limited usefulness.
I am in the exact same boat...When I work out the phone is an athletic armband so I don't really have access to it during my workout. I use these headphones: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005I2IVRO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and I can play/pause by pressing the middle button once and skip tracks forward by double tapping the middle. However, the volume up and volume down buttons are do not function period. Very annoying and hoping there's an Xposed module or an app that can make them work.

I often listen to the music while walking, and to change track i need to take device out of pocket, then press "menu" and stuff. Would be great if someone change original lockscreen so if i press and hold "volume UP" it goes to the next track. (vol. down - prev. track). Sorry for poor english.

You can also double press button on your headphones - it is "next track" . If only once - play/pause
I wish i can my bluetooth headset have only 3 buttons: answer call and same volUP volDOWN
You can get full function BT stereo headsets for as low as $20 maybe cheaper. Mine works great with dwang as far as volume and track foward and back, with CM when I hit anything on the headset it would open up all kinds of apps.
Hello all. I was perusing the nexus s and nexus s 4g forums and was interested when I came upon their oxygen rom. It offers the ability to skip songs with the volume rocker. Is anyone willing to try and get this working for gummy? I am willing to donate to anyone willing to try. It would also be cool if we could get music controls on the lock screen. Thanks to all the hard working devs and themers.
The first one would be possible for one of the devs to do. The second would require a whole new lockscreen & lots of coding, plus all of the themes would have to be updated with the new stuff.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Agile Lock + PowerAMP = music controls on the lockscreen. They just updated Agile so you can now disable your lockscreen without disabling your power button menu but it's a little glitchy, the dev does promise to release a new version every week as he is still trying to fix it up.
Also, why would you want the volume rocker to skip songs? I would prefer the volume rocker to control volume and use the search/back keys to skip through songs, just me though.

On the Droid 1 roms I used that had volume button music controls you had to hold the volume key to skip but a single press would still adjust volume. Both functions were available with the same buttons.

That's pretty cool, hope it can be done! I usually have PowerAMP set to shuffle my 100+ song playlist and sometimes I get to that song I'm just not in the mood to hear and it would be nice to skip it with a simple hold of the power button.

Yutz-exactly what I'm hoping somebody will look into. Blarrick-I have over 2000 songs I shuffle through. I need a quick way to skip.

It's my understanding that this is a function of ASOP ROMs. Seeing as none have been released yet, I don't think that this is an available option yet.

Thank you for your response. Will the charge ever get a pure ASOP rom?
There is development happening now. No ETA on releases (there never is), but it may be a while.
I realize this might not be exactly what you are looking for, but PlayerPro can partially do what you want.
It can change the volume up and down to be used to skip songs. However, that will be their only function when it is playing, as they will no longer be able to adjust volume.
Also, while it can't put music controls on an existing lockscreen, it has its own that can be configured with AOSP like sliders. It will show album art and play/next/prev controls on its lockscreen.
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 am currently running blisspop 5 but also use others on the OnePlus One. I own a pair of Xiaomi Piston earphones and like that the 3 button controls like volume work on android devices. My question is if there is a way to change the buttons or add an option to skip track? I know this can be done in the MIUI Rom settings but really don't like that Rom.
Thanks!

Shouldn't double tapping the play/pause button skip track?
Tried but all it seems to do is pause and play, long press opens Google search command, double tap volume just changes volume twice, long press volume scrolls volume
Poweramp has these settings if you use it.
Edit: settings>headset /Bluetooth>wired headset.

How quickly do you double tap?

I've tried rapidly pressing it and slowing it down, it doesn't seem to matter how fast
can one skip a track using the buttons on the earphones that came with the phone?
I remember on my good old Blackberry I could double press the middle button and it would move to the next track or radio station, single press will play/pause, long press volume up button would fast-forward a track.
On LG headset I can only play/pause and increase/decrease volume - this sucks.
Anyone had better luck with it?
mine works, double tap to skip, even in Spotify.
do you double tap quickly?
