Media control is not possible through the 3.5mm connector on i9000, only mic and answer key will work. You can use those Nokia compatible 3.5mm earphones with mic. Please use the search function often.

You say that media control remote for SGS is impossible that in future no company cannot even make it because SGS hw do not support it??? it is very important to me to have 3.5mm corded headphone with media buttons. I am former user of 5800 XM and heavy music listener with media keys.

Did your nokia use a 3,5mm minijack port?

The button on a wired headset works to play/pause the music in 3(cubed) and DoubleTwist media players, or to answer/hang up calls in the phone app.
Haven't worked out how to get voice-dialing with the button though - does anyone know how to do this?

What wired headset?

What'd you want to do to? Next/Previous? Try PlayerPro, it can override the volume controls, thus giving you a next/back option from your volume rocker.

Yes indeed, i want to have Next/previous. I am using PowerAmp though, and i would like to have wired headphones with the media keys.
Anyone?:/

Buy PlayerPro in the market. It's an awesome music player, lacks EQ though ;(
But the main reason why it's my favourite is it supports being able to pause, previous and next song.
1 Click - Pause
2 Click - Next song
3 Click - Previous song
I'm using the earphones that come supplied with the Galaxy S. Being able to control you music is the only thing I miss from apple hardware but it's came to android through PlayerPro. Couldn't recommend this app any more.

But still there is a lack of inline volume control, if you like something like the remote of 5800, you must use bluetooth.

For pause and song skip you can use the latest Doubletwist. A fast double click of the stock headphones skips songs, and of course one click pauses.

If you are using the stock headphones that came with the Galaxy S then power amp has an option to make the headphones work 1 click play-pause/2clicks next song/3 clicks previous song. Go into settings-headset and check doublw/triple press. All of this while maintaining the telephone answering and speaking ability. My one gripe is that the sound quality isn't so great on those earphones. Dont get me wrong compared to the stock earphones from apple they are practically sure e3's but I would like to option to use my senheisers but still be able to use the mic (the voice search app is really useful).

I just received 2 pairs of Samsung earphones for the Galaxy S, I always had the Samsung EHS48's (they came with my phone), and I ordered another pair of them, but now I also have the EHS60's.
The EHS48's are available here for next to nothing: http://cgi.ebay.nl/GENUINE-SAMSUNG-...ssories_RL&hash=item230c2e73d1#ht_1945wt_1139
I think the sound quality on them is good enough, the EHS60's sound the same, but I think they look better and they fit better in my ears as well. I found them only in a Dutch webshop (I am Dutch), but they are rather expensive compared to the ones on eBay above.

Ty!
Can you also link to the EHS60's?
And the EHS60 has the media button or whatever so you can change track?

I only have a link to a Dutch site: http://smacc.nl/samsungmobile/accessoire/samsung-ehs60b-stereo-headset
It has the same button on the wires as the EHS48, so just one button to answer phone. But since I use PowerAmp I can use it with the double/triple click.

Awesome dude! I use poweramp aswell, so i guess i will buy the eh60! Will look at ebay.
Thanks again!
(I still think it should work with other headphones)

Hi guys.
I just had Samsung's AARM040EBECSTD headphones for 7 US$ and as you can see in picture it has mic + button + volume. So you can use for Play/Pause, Next track (double click with newest SGS fws) and volume. PowerAMP supports Previous track with triple click too.
The good side is I have tested and it works with any standard headphone with 3.5 mm plug. Mine is Koss Porta Pro and works perfectly. It is great when you go out during winter. One controller and most of the features are delivered.

Description:
Simple app to stream audio to your bluetooth mono headset.
Released as donationware, so if you like it show your appreciation
Requires Android 2.2 or higher. Tested on stock HTC Evo 4G ROM (2.2) and CM7 RC1.
Notes:
- Make sure your headset is connected BEFORE clicking 'On'
- To use with Skype you must enable BTmono AFTER starting a Skype call.
- To reduce static, set the 'Media Volume' slider to max and reduce the 'Bluetooth In-Call Volume' via your phone/headset.
- This version contains a workaround for a bug in Android 2.2 which causes a system crash under certain circumstances. If you are on 2.2, do NOT disable Bluetooth while the stream is running or your phone WILL reboot (sorry - tell your phone manufacturer to move to 2.2.1+). The bug has been fixed as of Android 2.2.1.
Features:
- Widget!!
- Automatically enable Bluetooth on app launch (user can still choose not to allow this). Make sure your headset is actually CONNECTED before hitting 'On.'
- In-app 'Media Volume' control. Adjust the 'Bluetooth In-Call Volume' using the physical buttons on your phone or headset.
- Ongoing Status Bar notification while the program is running.
- Skype support (if enabled after call is started)
To-do:
- Possible - map headset button to 'next track'
- Other features?

Changelog:
v1.2
- fix crash on ICS
- fix status bar icons on Android 3.0+
- utilize new bluetooth "in-communication" mode for Android 3.0+. *Should* integrate better with VOIP apps, etc.
- automatically detect if user is on Gingerbread or greater - no need to select the Android 2.2.1+ setting in preferences. If you are on 2.2.1 you still need to select this for a cleaner shutdown when you press Off. There was no API level change between 2.2 and 2.2.1 so I can't (easily) do it for you automatically.
v1.1.1
- choose Android's color
v1.1
- Auto reconnect after phone call
v1.0
- Widget!
- Rewrite to eliminate disconnects (hopefully)
- Option for better shutdown on 2.2.1+
v0.3.1
- user prefs - Auto-On
v0.3
- small UI change - Android says hi
v0.2
- added in-app 'Media Volume' control
- added bluetooth check on startup
- added ongoing activity notification
v0.1 - initial release

Sweet. How does music sound when going through this? Also, are you saying there is no way to alter the media vlume when this is running?

Requires Android 2.2 or higher. Tested on stock HTC Evo 4G ROM (2.2) and CM7 nightlies.
Notes:
- Turn on bluetooth and set media volume to desired level before running the app (will do this automatically in future releases if there is demand for it).
- This version contains a workaround for a bug in Android 2.2 which causes a system crash under certain circumstances. The bug has been fixed as of Android 2.2.1, so future releases will include an Android version check and alternate (better) shutdown method for 2.2.1+.
To-do:
- Check if Bluetooth is enabled at app launch (and enable it if it's not).
- Widget. Thanks pure_energy1 @ XDA for reminding me.
- possible (if requested) - disable bluetooth when you turn off streaming.
- possible (if requested) - set media volume to predefined level before enabling bluetooth stream.
- Version check and different shutdown for 2.2.1+
- Other features?

Sound quality blows, but that's just the way it is. It's mainly just for people who have an old mono headset laying around and want to listen to podcasts, etc.
Unfortunately, there is no way to change 'Media' volume while it's running. You can adjust 'Bluetooth In-Call' volume, but if your media volume is muted you won't hear anything.

please don't
Turn on bluetooth and set media volume to desired level before running the app (will do this automatically in future releases if there is demand for it).
please dont do this! applications that alter volumes are really bad. user does not know about it , and then in a quiet room later you will suddenly be balsted with some sounds, when u turn off BT.
also another app could be running at the same time, and you have no way of knowing what the user wants.

skype
As for the microphone, I hadn't really considered that. I was thinking of this as purely a means of getting audio from the phone to the BT headset. Does Skype not work with a BT headset using the standard headset profile?
i hope u can also do mic.
no skype unfortunately (on my galaxy s) does always use the phones speaker and cant use the headset :-(
so i was waiting for an app like that for a long time.

another question:
why must the sound quality be bad?
just because its mono? or because of BT? i dont understand

Point taken. I could save the unadjusted level and restore it to that when disabling though.

I'll look into the mic. I figured Skype would work with a headset by default.

The telephony/headset profile uses low quality audio. OK for calls, sucks for music. If you need high quality audio you'll need to get an A2DP headset.

Point taken. I could save the unadjusted level and restore it to that when disabling though.
i hope this will be a configurable option [yes/no]
because if another program is running also (mutlitasking) then setting the level back to what it was before , may also be wrong and confuse the user.
if the user has meanwhile changed the volume in another program.

Well, the easiest thing would be to just leave it how it is
So unless other people want the option to set media volume, I'll just leave it alone.

I'd at least love the auto turn bluetooth on(if off), and then auto turn off(or leave on if it was on originally).

nice one : )
I found 2 apps like this for 5$, but it doesn't worth it because the sound quality
But now I will test it for a few days, and if I can use it with my white eares, I'll send you some money
Or you can just add an advertisement line to the bottom : ) And if you promote it enough, than you can get some money for your work - just think about the Angry birds, they have a lot of income from ads

My BT works with music without an app...
Maybe not all BT have a media profile?
Now what would be really cool and worth while, is an app that I can choose exactly what audio goes through the BT. Just for example have my navigation directions through the BT but music through the audio port.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Great app! Why does it require froyo though? Isn't it supported in eclair?

I'm an unrooted Evo user with stock 2.2 ROM. I installed the program and tried it with a non-A2DP Plantronics bluetooth. I ran into problems when I received a phone call while listening to streaming music--the phone call came through, and the music went silent in the bluetooth, but the music switched back to the phone and continued to play. When the phone call was complete, the music did not resume in the bluetooth. I had to manually go back and turn off/on the BTMono app to resume.
A more significant problem is when I physically turn off the bluetooth while BTMono is streaming music for me, the phone autorestarts....it apparently did not like that action. I do not know if physically turning off the bluetooth headset while BTMono is turned on, but not streaming music would result in an autorestart.
Thanks, and please let me know if I can make adjustments on my phone or if this is an app issue that can be worked out.

Agreed, I would be interested to have a choice of "what" is sent to BT. Navigation to BT is a big boon to me a well - this is a good start!
Suggestion, some way to tell when BTmono is "on" would be great, .e.g. tray indicator or app icon changes color.
Cheers

Good ideas everyone! Keep them coming.
I'll address everyone's specific questions/comments late on Sunday or Monday. Got a busy weekend

sounds good - may have to give this a quick go

To control the media volume you could use audio manager, I tried and it work

[APP] Earpiece: boost audio, play through earpiece

I wanted an app to play audio through a phone earpiece, so that if I didn't take my headphones somewhere, I could still listen to an audio book as if I was on the phone. So I made a very simple app that toggles whether sound comes from the earpiece or the speaker: Earpiece.
Currently alpha, or maybe early beta, quality. Works on my Epic 4G Touch. Don't know how many other phones it'll work for. (Interestingly, I also noticed that if I have earphones plugged in and I select earpiece mode, then the volume goes up a little. I am curious if this happens for other users)
I also wanted an app that would let me boost the audio volume, so I added that functionality to Earpiece while I was at it (Android 2.3+ only, should work even on devices like tablets that don't have an earpiece). I know there are such apps (Volume+ seems to be the most popular one), but why have a separate app for this?
You can set Earpiece to show up when you long-press the search key. (I don't use this feature myself. Instead, I have another simple app that pops up a menu of my favorite apps when I long-press the search key, and I use that to launch Earpiece.)

With what settings in Earpiece?
I would expect the Boost setting to interfere with DSP Manager, since both apps would be trying to do the same thing.

Here's how I test. I start an audio book playing in Mortplayer, and then go to Earpiece, and toggle the Earpiece checkmark.

Clever idea, thanks!
Works perfectly on my HTC EVO 3D ICS 4.0.3 leak, boost as well - even the feeble speaker becomes louder

It looks like the person on the other end of the line is just talking your ear off and not letting you get a word in.
Question: Should I activate the proximity sensor in Earpiece mode, and turn the device screen off and on based on closeness to the face?

Screen off while close to face is default for phone calls on my htc, saves lots! of battery during long talks.
So, yes, please
Workaround so far: With screen off manually (power button), sound plays nicely in the background.
Thanks and Cheers!

Can you send me a log after the crash? Install Log Collector, then do the crash again, and then go to Log Collector to email the log to arpruss at gmail dot com.

My ICS has a not stable beats installed, deactivated it, now works flawless
Noticed that the "Volume up/down" beeps don't get routed through earpeace, which is fine with me. Probably, because it's not a media volume sound?

You mean, for greater volume?
I doubt it, but I can experiment and see. Might actually be hard to tell if it's working, because the earpiece speaker will be drowned out by the main speaker.

I just posted 0.03.
It switches to the earpiece using a slightly different method. I'd appreciate reports whether it works for people.
By the way, no luck routing audio to BOTH the speaker and the earpiece at the same time.

I posted a release in the Market.
The release version carries one text ad on the screen, for my paid products. If the ad annoys you, just buy any of my paid products and the ad will disappear. Or just use a pre-release version.

Cool thing I found. If you turn on Earpiece while in Camera, the camera sound gets routed to the earpiece, and hence is very quiet, at least in my Epic 4G Touch.
(I know there are root-based solutions to the camera sound issue, but I haven't rooted my phone yet--I haven't found a way to do it that's both safe and doesn't involve copyright problems, like downloading unauthorized copies of parts of ROMs.)

I posted 1.01 in the Market and on the google code page. If you press MENU, you can go to Settings and select whether you want the status bar notification always, only when the background service is running, or never. The "never" is attractive if you don't like clutter, but unfortunately it allows the OS to kill Earpiece's proximity sensor and boost features (they need the background service) when the OS runs out of memory. Still, it's up to the user.
I am kind of excited by my discovery that earpiece mode makes the camera sound come out of the earpiece and hence be very quiet. I've experimented some more, and when I combine this with a negative volume boost, I can make the camera sound almost inaudible--probably inaudible to anybody more than two feet away except in an almost perfectly silent environment. Of course, for rooted devices there are ways of turning it off entirely, but I don't have root, and I want to be able to take pictures without disturbing people.

Set a specific app to output audio via source - thank you Samsung

This is a life saver for parents
o to Settings - sound and vibration - Seperate App sound (all the way at the bottom)
turn on and pick the app you want(limited to 1 app at a time)
Then choose the location (I chose Music to bluetooth)
This way I can still listen to music and be able to hand my daughter my phone so she can watch youtube

Impressive, didn't think of that as a use case. Although I don't think I'll be handing anyone my phone just yet

For example (?) : can you watch a video/broadcast mute (sport game), and listen TuneIn ( running commentary ) at the same time ?
Actually android is deeply missing basic audio mix table !
Also can you (lucky owners) tell us if :
-AKG earphone are ip68 waterproof ?
-Google Music can be uninstall/disable ?
-is embedded EQ working with any browser/video app ?

I have a specific question/problem related to this:
Currently I have Google Play Music assigned to Bluetooth.
This is cool because in the car, I can play music - but then play a game or something at the same time.
HOWEVER.....
In order for this to actually work, you have to go to the audio connections hub thing in the notification shade.
And switch your audio output to the phone.
THEN with the audio output set to the phone - itll use the override and send the play music to bluetooth.
You seemingly have to do this every time (I even used Tasker and Autotools custom settings, trying to detect which setting gets changed and make it automatic.... but couldn't see a related changed setting in the settings lists).
A bigger problem though, amidst my messing around to try to make this work better....
I selected "turn off connections manager" option.
Now I don't get that stuff in the notification shade at all.
And I cannot find a single setting that lets me access it again!
So now I can never use separate app audio.
Can someone help me!?!?!?

I have found this feature usefull for SatNav.
I have the phone connected to car bluetooth, so ALL audio on previous phones goes to the car - so as im listening to streaming radio etc, the satnav voice from TomTom kicks in and can be quite annoying - especially as I only want the voice for traffic and speed cameras.
With this feature, I can still stream music to the car but have the audio come through the phone speaker - well done Samsung

Give SoundAbout a look. There isn't much it can't manage.

One of my issues with the Google ChromeCast is that when the phone is used as a source, all audio is sent over that ChromeCast connection.
You cannot divert the audio to Bluetooth for bluetooth speakers/headphones.
Does anyone know if this new Samsung feature will allow you to divert ChromeCast audio to Bluetooth?
That would be pretty darn cool if it did.
EDIT: Btw, I don't have the Samsung phone.
I was linked here from a Google Pixel thread. But I'm really interested to know the answer to my question above.

Download Sound Assistant from Samsung in the play store. When you adjust volume hit the icon and then expand the window. To the right of the app volume slider you can switch sound output.

Found the "Audio output" control! Yess!!

Thanks to the post above I was finally able to find the setting to enable the option to select the Audio output on my phone (Samsung S8+) see pictures attached. So if you've lost the option to select the audio output of you S8 follow these steps. (Not to be confused with with Separate app sound, which routes different apps to a bluetooth or phone output)
Find the Samsung Connect app
Click on the three dots to bring down the menu
Tap Settings
Tap Samsung Connect panel
Ensure this is turned on

Post any way to play notification sounds through phone speakers while connected to earbuds.

I've been very pissed of by missing notifications just because I wasn't wearing my earbuds and they weren't in the charging case or turned off.
All I want is to someone help this global crisis get solved. Literally been licked out every forum for solution but haven't found one. We don't know google will fix this in future or not like samsung did with their samsung assistant app which hasan option to divert notification sounds to phone speakers while in ringer mode.
I am really hoping someone will either raise a solution for this or just let google know that this needs to be fixed now.
Please list down any proper solution if you have one
PS: Don't suggest turning the Bluetooth off from phone settings, that's not a full proof solution.
Thanks in advance!
