Wired headset button functions - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have the CDMA hero and a wired headset/headphones with mic and button. When i try to use the double click function on the headset to skip songs, it redials my last called number.
Is there an way to remap the button functions on android?
I'm looking for something just like this app someone from xda made for winmo:
HTCButton BETA
Thanks

Lubix LC1 works with HD??

Has anyone used a Lubix LC1 bluetooth headset with the Touch HD? I am planning to buy one for myself.
By the way, few days back I tried an iTech bluetooth headset (Clip Radio) with my Touch HD - it worked great with excellent sound!
People looking for a cheap all round bluetooth stereo headset with nice functionality may also opt for the iTech Clip D-Radio bluetooth headset. Link here.
Have a gr8 day!
I dont know about that headset, but Nokia BH-503 works great--- if that works then anything should!!!
BTW-- if a headset has a easy to press answer call button - then theres a problem cuz if you accidently press it two times - then you will call the last person you've called or has called you.... and if a headset has a play/pause, forward/backward buttons for media - then Blackstone will turn on everytime you press one of these buttons!!!
oh and the call answer button works even when the phone is locked!!!

Any *wired* mic / headphone set support the play / pause button?

I've done a few searches but have not been able to find an answer. Does the Transformer support the play / pause button on *any* wired mic / headset combo? I've tried a set of Skullcandy FMJ and a Sansung Vibrant headset, neither of which get a response from the Transformer. Just wondering if this feature was supported on any wired mic / headset out on the market, or is it just not supported at all?
Thanks!
With the Klipsch app in the market, I've been able to use the controls on my SkullCandy earbuds on my Droid2.
Thanks for the responses, I've checked the Market and found a few headphone apps that let you configure the button. I'll have to experiment with a few...

I couldn't find any apps that would work with my headset. Let us know please if you find something.
I tried the Klipsch app without success. Haven't been able to find anything that allows mic controls to work either.
I tried 4-5 headset and went back @ my jabra dogtag (bt3030) you can stil find them via ebay for about 15-20$ and you can connect any headphone you want
Klipsch app works ok on my G2x it doesn't work on my TF101

I have the same issue on the TF101, I was hoping to be able to get at least the play/pause button to work on the TF101 but so far no luck. I have the Image S5i from Klipsch and with the app I do get more functionality from the play/pause button (+ & -- buttons still do not function though) on my LG G2x.
So I am wondering IF it is possible that TF101 is not capable of supporting button functionality from a headset. I sure hope that is NOT the case. I would really like to be able to use at least the play/pause function from my Image S5i's.
If any body knows a remedy to make it operational it would be greatly appreciated from both me and my wife.

[Q] Headset control button

Hi there,
Has any else had the problem with last number or missed call being dialed when you use the control button with the one x+
Only when listening to music with headphones
Still change even with The update..
Yes, wanted to ask the same
Using PowerAmp: one click start/stops, double click dials last call, long click open Google Now... Could not figure out how to change track until now :crying:

I'm using power amp pro but still no change, if I click next track on headphones I dial the last number in my call history,
I'm using Tiny call confirm App, this blocks the call and won't dial the number until you press yes on phone.
When I asked HTC they said it was a faulty phone but this is my second phone and still same problem,
Try using your headphones after you have received or missed a call and let' me know if your having the same problem.

So it seems the phone does not recognize a stereo headset is connected to it? It thinks it is a bluetooth device instead so when listening to music and you double tap your headset it places a call just as it would on a bluetooth device when connected? Sounds like a dumb phone, lol! Hope this isn't the case, i use jaybird bluetooth headset 5 days a week in the gym listening to music from my phone and always change tracks with double tap, answer calls, etc. Would i be effected by this when listening to music?
Never heard of this problem in a cell phone before?

Nope, it displays the headset icon, so it's correct... I have a Monster Mobile Jamz Headset with only 1 control button with this problem.
My BT headset Sony MW1 works correct, but it has single buttons for every control like forward/rewind/play/pause/volume....

Oh ok so for a device like mine it should work ok? Guess i'll find out soon enough, picking up the device tomorrow morning from ATT. What is Power Amp? Is this a 3rd party download to listen to music? What does this feature for you guys over the stock music player? Thanks

Ya I'm having the problem too I tried two of my friends hox and it worked fine on one and the other called out my fix for this as I use Google voice is have me ask each time I make a call to confirm and has worked fine like that I can't figure out what setting is on though to make one work fine and the other not
Damn this sucks. So i guess in the gym i have to pull this lunk out of my pocket whenever i want to change a track VS. the shortcut keys on my headset for which they were built for. Thanks HTC, you're always the best!!!
Do your wired headset volume rocker adjust the volume on the phone? I'm using a good pair of Bose wired headsets to listen to music and watch videos on my device and it has the controller on the headset for volume and change tracks/answer calls/ etc. When watching a Netflix video though in the Netflix App the Volume Rocker on my Bose headset does nothing, i have to manually press the volume rocker on the actual device, Wow another Fail HTC and these headphones are fully compatible with Android and Apple devices.
I hope once we can get our phones Rooted a developer can make a tool/tweak to make our headsets work they work on every other device under the sun the way they should and stupid HTC prevents for whatever reason. Really a waste to have zero control with a headset for this device.

Headset control ?

Hi guys. So although I appreciate that google have added support for wired headsets into jellybean, unfortunately it doesn't behave the way I want it to. On my old Thunderbolt I installed headset controller and it worked great. Now what happens is when using headset control I get the function of BOTH the apply and the built in android operation.
When I single click the button it pauses my music and plays it, but the problem is with the rest of the features.
When I double click headset controller skips to the next track but Android starts a redial on my last called number ! Also when I hold down the button I want my volume controlled but Google Now gets activated.
Is there any way I can reassign these commands to do what I want and ignore the standard android commands ? I am rooted with a deodexed and debloated rom and cubed kernel in case that helps.
Thanks

[Q] HTC One Headset Control problems

Hey everyone, I've recently started using the HTC One but I don't really know what's going on with the controls on the headset that comes with the phone. There is only one button. One click is for play/pause, but double click redials my last call, instead of going to the next track. I've tried apps like headset button controller and it doesn't seem to be able to recognize my button clicks. Have any of you had this problem and what do you recommend I do?
yeah see here, It's the stock musicplayer that has the issue. Headset Drloid and another music app like Google Music were my solution

same problem here, i did what you mention, however, nothing happens, keeps calling the last person.
Holding the button for 1+ sec changes the track for me... But I have to be careful cause holding it too long brings up voice commands
HTC headset button - I can't get them to work properly
Hi everyone!
I was looking all over to find a way to use the remote controls of my Sennheiser and Urbanears Headsets with my HTC one for Music controls and calls reliably. However, I can't seem to get it to work and was hoping that someone here could help me out.
I really highly appreciate your help and I am willing to donate 10 USD for a working solution!
Phone: HTC One
Android Version: 4.2.2
HTC Sense Version: 5.0
Software: Android Revolution HD 12.1
HTC SDK API Level: 5.34
Kernel: 3.4.10-gd6147e
Music App: Grooveshark
I was trying everything I could find on the Internet to fix the Headset button behaviour. Two apps from the Google Play Store did better than the rest: Headset Button Controller and Philips Headset. However, none of them was able to interpret Headset button requests reliably. The apps would only react in about 5 % of the time to multiple clicks (Next track, Previous track, volume control etc). The authors of the app said, that my Custom ROM is probably the reason it is not working. Can that be true?
Does anyone know a reliable solution to use the Headset for Music controls or to be able to use it realiably with third Party apps such als Headset Button Controller? The intermediary solution I found was to interchange the key assignment of keys 163 and 226 - now I can at least Change to next track by click of a button, but thats it - no other functions with multiple clicks.
For sure the clicks on the button are registered by the phone - because I can see that it reacts, but for whatever reason only a limited number is actually interpreted by third Party apps.

Thanks,

If your phone is rooted you can try HeadsetMod from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423160.
EDIT : Didnt notice that you are using grooveshark app. Not sure if it works with that. Its tested only with the default music app.
