Headset controls - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've go the headset from Galaxy SIII (Samsung EHS64AVFWE).
This one: http://www.sfplanet.com/media/catal...d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/e/h/ehs64avfwe-2_1__2.jpg
Buttons aren't working at all. I don't care about the volume control, but I would love the Play/pause button to work. Is there any way to do that? The microphone during a call works fine.
I tried some apps from Play Store (like Jays or Headset Button Controller) but none of them are doing anything.
For the record, all of the buttons (including volume) work on my Xperia M.
I'm running PA 4.44, but buttons don't work on stock either.
A solution would be highly appriciated.
Regards.

Try using PowerAmp.. I used my Moto RAZR's headset with my G., i could pause/play, prev and next track with a single button.. (You've to enable that in PowerAmp settings though)

Headset button controller app?

Is there a headset button control app for Galaxy Note? The stock controls only allow play/pause and next song..
I've had an iPhone 3gs a long time ago, and every android device i've used so far lacks the headset control that apple offers.
Is there an app which allows previous/next song, forward/rewind, play/pause?
I'm using this app with their headset. Someone mentioned it works with other single buttoned headsets. So Give it a try...

Working like a CHARM! I love it alreaddy.
Previous app I used was "Headset Button Controller" but when I turned volume up by 1, it would go up and down for several minutes.
Jays is much much better. LOVE it
Thanks
If you are talking about single-button headsets, did your stock Note headsets came without the volume buttons or you are just not counting them and only referring to the pause/play button?

this doesn't really answer your question, but if you haven't yet purchased a headset, all of the A2DP bluetooth headset controls work just fine on my MW600
The application mentioned solved my problem. It works without any errors and very smooth.
I'm using the original headset with one button and 2 buttons for volume.
Without the app I can't select previous tracks etc

I like this headset control app as it controls not only buttons on musicplayers like Poweramp, Google Music etc but also online players like Spotify..
I also use this app in my native language.

Does all headset control apps conflict with lockscreen music widget/controls?
Does all apps used to control headset clicks conflict with lock screen music widget? I'm using Asylum_Omni_4.4.2

I am using samsung Gt-s5300(rooted) and Cellularline Audio Pro Fly bluetooth headphones set. The headset buttons are working fine for music, but i can`t voicecall. I installed Cyberon Voice Speed Dial 1.2.15 which has options to voice call when i hold-press headset button but is not working. I tried Jays and Headset Button controlle but none are working also showing no commands in debug mode. I do not have inertnet access on the phone anywhere near. I guess the problem in headset not recognising the apk HS controls is because its disigned for apple devices and phone doesn`t have id tags or voice commands in contacts by itself. This is my first smart phone so any help is welcome. Voice recongision of Cyberon Speed Dial is working fine but i need a way to launch the application using the headset.
p.s ok after i tried lots of app i managed to add open app function to headset using Jays Headset 3 keys settings. It doesnt work with the folder music player i use but it works when folderplayer is not open or with regular music player so my problem is solved for now and i can 1click then voice dialer opens so i can voice dial without touching the phone.
No 1 headset app for Android by far.
Found this review, it explains this free (+ ad free as well) app better than I can, I just use it

[Q] Audioplayer with ablility to configure bluetooth headset keys actions

OS: Android
Hi! I'm looking for a Free Android audioplayer, that allows to customize actions to be performed on BT headset keys pressing. E.g. I need to seek the track forward instead of jumping to next, if I pressed Next button. I've found one app, but it works not perfectly: forgets my settings at the next launch.

Thanks for your reply, but I could not find Force Buttons on google play. Though I found Mixzing and installed it, it seems to have no BT keys bindings options. At least I failed to find it. What I did found is Headset and Buttons option, but there is nothing interesting for me there.
Then try the free version of Headset Droid,though features are more limited there. With switching the headset functions that deep no music player has it inbuilt,sorry,at least to my knowledge,a separate app must support your player.
EDIT: Try Jays Headset Control too, apparently it'll work even with non Jays earbuds

Tried Headset droid tool. I was surprised that there are standalone headset controllers application. I always thought that it is a player task to listen to keys events. Unfortunately Headset droid seems to work only with wired headset, not bluetooth, but I definitely will search for a tool like that.
Think maybe force control will suffice,it uses the proximity sensors to skip songs.

No, the point is to get advanced control over bluetooth headset. The Astro Player is the only player I have found so far which allows to do so. But I do not like it much.
Didn't keep it either, I'm out of ideas now. Did you test the Jays app?
Sent from my U8150 using XDA
Actually I didn't. Because of the description, which says, that the app is designed for one-button remote earphones. But if you're still thinking it is worth testing, I'll test it a bit later (I have no headset with me to test right now).
Installed Jays. It behaves as description declares and works only with one button. And it seems even that button cannot be the one on the bluetooth headset. Well it looks like using Astro player is the only solution for the moment.
Maybe they'll update the interface. You never know ... at least one works.

Configuring headset with single remote button for track changes

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,
- Bikram

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.

Headset Button controls on Android?

Just wondering if there is some kind of software hack or mod that allows the volume buttons on headsets/earphones to work correctly. I know that with some players like Poweramp have the middle mic button working with single, double, and triple click. I know the volume buttons work on iOS devices so shouldn't there be a way to make it work with android?

There is an app ( may be many).
Something called headset button controller. Yeah it's
Here
Search on playstore. Or try tencent player to use volume rockers to switch between songs.

IT'S WHAT YOU MAKE OUT OF IT!
Can't really use anything besides Poweramp. For obvious reasons.
Anyway here's a pic. I'm talking about the volume buttons built into the headset. Not the middle button and not the volume rockers on the phone.

You Tried that app ? You can set up which button performs what action, blah blah.
And tactile player ( sorry I said something else before, it doesn't even exist) isn't a music player.
It's just an app used to skip tracks using volume rockers.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.purelogicapps.android.tactileplayerfree
Poweramp has the functionality to skip tracks using the volume rockers on the phone already built in so no need for an app.

Hi
You will normally not get a pair of iPhone 3 button earphones work with an Android phone as the jacket technogies differ and so does its mic.
To make it work you need a.) appropriate earphones and b.) the software. A few makers has both

Dont mention it. I use this app daily going to work and going home, it really works. Ive tried many headset apps and this is the best by far (and its 100% free).
Edit: added a screenshot. When connecting the headset I made my musicplayer start up automatically. Really neat as then I dont need to pull our the phone starting the music while on the go. Helps alot.
Cheers!

DEGAUSS LABS HEADSET CONTROL APP NOW WITH ANDROID 6 MARSHMALLOW
Hey, they just released their updated Headset Control Center for Android 6 Marshmallow. Didnt find that support elsewhere.
Now I use Nexus 5x and Spotify as my target music app (set individually) and can now control play/pause/next/previous/vol+/vol-, functional for my everyday life going back and forth to work etc. Really a neat App that I think most Android users would like.

[Q] How to skip track with headset buttons

Did anyone try a wired headset with mic and buttons on Nexus 5 or other LG phones?
Can I use these buttons to skip tracks forward and reverse?
It seems they only act as volume control and play/resume on Nexus 5.
I couldn't figure out it's Android, phone or headset problem.

Yes, I did. I have tried double-press too.
check out the jays headset app in the play store, lets you set options for the one button on some android phones
Anyone know how to adjust the volume using apple earbuds?
Android app for controlling your 1 or 3 button headset
Do you also want to control function of your headset buttons? If you want full control and also the possibility to control online music services via your headset (play/pause etc one of the things that HAS been working better on the iPhone because of their way of integrating functions with their app makers) like Spotify, Pandora, Rdio and more you would need the free app from the guys at Degauss Labs.
The app is found on google play by the searchwords "degauss labs"
They just added suppor for Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Its brilliant, ad free and no catch. Use it and love it :laugh:

I tried Headset Button Controller and Jays's and neither managed to change the up and down buttons' settings, only the center one. I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 default 3 button earphones on Nexus 5.
I'm gonna pretend this guy is not a marketer and give this app a shot. tired of going through all these settings
EDIT: Same issue... I can set the button for Next Track and Previous Track but it doesn't react, it just changes the volume as usual.
I got no luck either. It seems system intercepts the buttons first. No matter where I am, the system volume slide pop up when I press the buttons.
I got a hunch it might be LG's design issues. I was thinking it could be my haedset wasn't compatible to LG's phone. So I browsed Amazon looking for a headset specifically stated it worked on LG's phones. It turned out all of them were one button headsets. This result made me wondered somehow LG doesn't support 3 buttons headset control intentionally.

Hi
I never said the up and down button was programmable on the Nexus 5. These are hard coded by LG and will not do anything but +/- volume. It i snot the app´s fault but LG´s idea of making "Life Good" Only the center button is programmable on the Nexus 5.
But if you try the same app with the Nexus 3 by Samsung you will see the app makes all buttons programmable. As Samsung left the buttons possible to program.
But if you find this a drag, just think if you had the Nexus 4 from LG where there is only a one button support.
Bye
This thread really helped me out. I've been using Samsung phones up till a month ago when i bought my nexus. The first thing i noticed when i tried listening to music via poweramp and google play music was that the double and triple click to change tracks did not really work as well as they did on my S2. However, the deguass app really works well. Thank you.

does this mean that nexus 5 has no built in support for buttons from the headset?
Hi, please check this app, it can skip track using volume buttons single or double clicks.

1 or 3 buttons
Yes, some phones only have support for one button headsets example Motorola Droid Maxx. But most have 3-button support today.
ALL LG´s (2015+2016) support 3-button headsets, ALL Samsungs support 3-button headsets as well, ALL Nexus phones after Nexus 4 supports 3-buttons, ALL Xperia Sonys.. you just need a real Android headset. As a user of the Degauss Headset Control Center which I think is faboulus in function and totally free app, I suggest to support the guys who made that at Degauss Labs. They have a truckload of Android eadsets that might fit your thinking, you´ll find them on www.degausslabs.com I myself use the Noir´s which are superb.
In my previous comment youll find the Headset App now also supporting Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Nexus 5x, Nexus 6P and many others are coming... Youll need that App to tailor the button clicks and set them to actiavte your musicplayer and "control" it.
Cheerio!
