So i have 2 sets of headphones with mic and a button on them (different types) and i want to know how you can control what that button does.
Right now, it can :
answer calls when a call comes in and i press it once.
When i am in a call, and i press it once it mutes the call instead of hang up ( I want to be able to hang up!)
Play/pause music in meridian music player with 1 press
Skip song in meridian with 2 quick presses
previous song in meridian with 2 slow presses
So how can i make that one press during a call hang up instead of mute the microphone. is there an app or something that helps control stuff like this? i know when i had windows mobile there was an app that let me even configure even 3 consecutive quick clicks on the headphone button to launch an app or something. is it possible on android and the eris?
thanks for your help in advance.
forgot to add, i have a droid eris with kaos froyo v29
Usually those 3rd party headsets dont have any options to configure it to what the buttons do, if it was like a verizon headset or bluetooth piece it may have more configuration options.

Is there someone out there who has used these headphones with a Hero? Does the Control Talk feature work?
Can't find your particular model that quick but -->
Used to have V-Moda Vibe Duo with a single control button.
A lot of music players (at least cube, htc player, I assume DoubleTwist...) are able to interpret clicks on that button:
- single click = play/pause
- Double click = next song
- triple click might have been something, although I am unsure...
And while listening music -> incoming call --> Push button to answer, hold button to hang.
It was very comfortable to be able to have decent quality music + be able to have some control over the phone, but the double clicking was rather annoying, didn't always work (paused the song instead of skipping)
Nice looking brand by the way
hello,
i have HTC Hero with Villain ROM v. 13. i need to skip to next song with long press Vol UP, and previous with long press Vol DOWN, on EELinux ROM i can make this.
please help me to modify settings so go with long press Vol UP next song.
also i have iPhone 4 headset and work only play/pause button, i need to skip song or increase volume with headset buttons.
please help me and sorry for my english.
I am surprised to see that the vol up /down buttons did anything for you with the iPhone headset, the onlything I ever saw working was the middle button witch seems to have the same effect as the middle button on the HTC Headset.
maybe If you find out the intents the buttons on each specific headset triggers you can help devs implement it.
I unfortunatly cannot do this myself as both my apple and HTC Headsets broke.
Can you actually call with the Apple Headset? For me the apple mic never worked.
PS: AFAIK there is no Setting for the wired buttons, it either works or it doesn't.
I've got a wired earbud headset with mic and inline controls (Brainwavz M4) that works great on my SGSII. But I was wondering if there's a way to catch input from the controls and change the response.
For example, right now it works as 1 press plays/pauses, 2 presses skips forward, and 3 presses skips back. I'd like to change that to be 1 skip, 2 skip back, 3 (or press'n'hold) pause.
Is it at all remappable through an app or something, or is it something that can't be fiddled with?
Thanks for any help.
On my SGS3, when listening to music, I have no option to skip a song via headset (the original ones) it just increases or decreses the volume. That's really weird for me. On my old HD2 I was able to control die music whith clicking up or down and with a long click (like click and hold for a sec) it skipped a song forward or backwards. That was pretty nice. I really miss it, but I would be even fine with skipping the songs instead of changing the volume on my SGS3
just doubleclick on the "play/pause" button
for all the others, who want the skip button on in-/decreasing hardware buttons: here is a workout for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1872747&highlight=playlist it's really helpful
The Samsung Galaxy S21 got rid of the phone jack from previous models and now has only a USB-C connection. I bought a USB-C-to-phonejack converter so I could use the headphones I had from my S7 phone. It works when I am using the headphones to listen to music or watch videos. By "works" I mean not only do I hear sound through them, but I can control the volume either using the phones controls or the built-in controls on the headphones. EXCEPT! Except when on a phone call. When I use the headphones when using the phone, the volume control does nothing. Neither the controls on the phone itself, or the controls on the headphones. I end up deafened because the volume is at max and can't be turned down. Again, this is only while speaking on the phone; other apps let me use the volume controls.
Any ideas on ways to fix this?
Thank you,
S.

I can't guarantee that this will work. But often what seems obvious to me is something other people miss completely. (And the other way around too.)
When you press the volume down or up rocker on the phone, have you noticed the three horizontal dots at the top of the onscreen volume indicator? If you tap on that 3-dot menu, multiple vertical volume indicators appear. I haven't tested with a USB-C audio jack dongle but I am betting that if you have the dongle plugged in (regardless of whether the earphones are plugged into the dongle), one of those vertical volume sliders will be specifically for the dongle/USB-C output.
Give this a try and let us know if this works. If it does, I realize this might be annoying to do every time. But maybe then you can find a utility in the Play store that allows you to set individual volume levels.
Good luck.
P.S. I fully understand if you prefer the wired earphones. But I can tell you that when I use bluetooth earphones of various kinds, simply pressing the volume rocker does reduce/increase phone call volume.

Thank you. I never really noticed those dots in the volume control; just ignored them all this time! I pressed them and see the extra options. I haven't tried the USB-C dongle yet... I just packed it away for a trip this week. I'll keep it in mind though and try it as soon as I unpack.
