This isn't exactly for the evo 3d, more about my bluetooth helmet... When I push the main button it is supposed to pause the music. but nothing happens, when i push it twice it opens up voice commands. does any one have any info on how to get it to work...
As a side note Ive seen the application tasker, im just wondering if i could get this to fix my problem.
I'm open to ideas.

What app are you listening to your music with? I've found that my headphones' controls are a little picky depending on which app I'm using ATM.
Also, don't be afraid of voice commands - especially if you're running an ICS ROM.

hey so i got the atrix and i paired it with my shure music adapter (its a mic with a button on it). i have been using poweramp but when i try to use the button during playback all i got was the option to complete that action using voice command or vlingo. I figured that maybe those were taking priority of the button or something so i stopped those applications but then when i pressed it nothing happens. a long press of the button also dials the last person called. I tried downloading winamp to see if it would work with that, and it does.. however it just does play/pause there doesn't seem to be an option for next track/last track. i know the mic/button works with my friends droid x.
So basically my question is....has anyone found a way to enable next track/last track using the atrix and any combination of apps?
That only works on apple branded products.

if you read my post completely you will see that i have tested this exact product with my friends droid x and i can confirm that it does work for play/pause AND next track/ prev track.
anyone else have any other ideas?
My apple branded wired headset paused and controlled volume with my Captivate just fine, too, but is not functioning on my Atrix. Hope there's a fix, it's nice to hit pause on the wire rather than grab the phone, unlock, open the music app, hit pause.

yea even more than play/pause (which did work in winamp for me) im really looking for next track/ prev track hoping it will be working next time some of these apps update
Funny I lost controls on my MOTOROLA S9 headset on the MOTOROLA Atrix. LOL go figure
Same issue with BOSE MIE2i headset - mic works, buttons do not. I hope for fix
for anyone else experiencing this issue here with poweramp i have just recently spoken with the developer:
Unfortunately, WinAmp uses old Android 2.1 API, which is used in PowerAMP only on Android 2.1.
For Android 2.2+ PowerAMP uses new headset API.
I think I will get Atrix in 7-10 days and there will be a patch immediately on market.
The sd card issue already has been resolved in current dev builds.
Thanks!

Anyone using the razr headset with the phone? everytime i workout with this headset i feel like banging my phone on the blardy wall..
For some strange reason it automatically dials my recent calls. I think its something to do with the microphone..when i pant or take deep breaths the voice command thingy comes on, and sometime suddenly just randomly call people...good god its annoying as hell!
anyone know how to disable it? the only reason i use this headset over my seinheriser is cause its LOUD. when your in the gym you need loud bass to keep the pump!
Have you tried restarting the phone? I've had Voice Commands go crazy on me and not let me use my headset to control my music. A simple restart fixed it.
Have you tried a different headset? Maybe you got some sweat in the mic and it screwed something up. I've had this happen also. Do the Sennheisers you mentioned have a mic with music control?
If you're rooted you can freeze Voice Command using Titanium Backup.
Ill try freezing it and see how it goes. No my Sennheisers do not have a mic, thats why it does not happen when i use them, but the sound produced is softer, which is why i dont use em.
Restarting does not help.
Ran in to the same problem with my brother's phone; the problem is voice commands hijacks the headset button. There is an easy way to disable that, for those who are not rooted or don't want to freeze the app: go to settings, Applications and change the double-tap home launch setting to None. Now headset works as it should and controls PowerAmp, rather than popping up voice commands every time.
I had the same issue with mine. Freezing it with Titanium worked perfectly.
If you have an issue with it stopping your music as if disconnected it, I haven't found a fix for that.
And i always find best sony earphones with isolation and with noise cancelling, you'll enhance max trebles in sound settings, get PowerAmp to enhance on basses and for sake of this gorgeous combination forget about microphone.
Original earphones are always not good enough. Always must buy separately.

Use "rom tool box" and freeze

U can go to settings and changing the double tap home button to something else. Ur probably hitting the home button twice during ur work out.

Has anyone been able to disable voice commands on stock? It's annoying trying to use pandora with headphones that have a button because the voice command prompt keeps popping up. One work around I've found is to use Headset Button Controller app.
You can also use media button router.... its free in the play store... allows you to map bluetooth device buttons to a specific app or apps... necessity with the ICS leaks because android hijacks the play button for voice commands if you use Pandora or a third party app to play music...

Found my first douh. I use the LG700 stereo Bluetooth headset and the controls are a little screwy.
Volume up and down, no problem. Track forward and backward no problem.but the play/pause button doesn't work right. Pauses only if you hold down the button. But does not play again. Actually play function doesn't work with button at all.
Haven't used call button cause this headset sucks for calls. But great for stereo Bluetooth play back.
Just thought I'd share, maybe someone has a solution.

Ok, I am going to dig this thread up. Its only less than a month old anyway...
I have the same problem. With my Bluetooth FM transmitter, I am able to skip forward and back tracks but I cannot play or pause.
Worked fine with my Evo 3d. Anyone have a solution ?
This probably doesnt help you much but I use the Wireless Beats from Dre and everything works fine.

Bluetooth Play Pause
I have this same problem too. I've done a little fiddling to find that it's somewhere in the BT communication.
I upgraded from the OG EVO and previously used a Belkin BT receiver to transfer Pandora to my car stereo EXT plug. It worked very well with the OG. When I got the new LTEVO, I immediately noticed that the Play/ Pause wasn't working.
I've installed a couple of BT media widgets to help figure it out. I use the Media Button widget to mimic the functionality of the Play/Pause BT command. When I start Pandora and then use the P/P Media button, it operates perfectly. So the command is being interpreted properly by the Apps when it is received.
Next I installed a Widget called Media Button Router, which allows the BT command to be received by the phone and then pauses the current app and pops up a menu to choose which program you want to send the command to. When I hit the P/P button with this widget operating, the menu pops up properly and then attempts to send the command to the app. In this case, Pandora pauses while the menu is up. Once the command is sent to Pandora, it is ignored. So this means that a command is being received, however it is not the correct P/P command that the apps will respond to.
I am really hoping that any update to the kernel by HTC will resolve this soon. Either way, as soon as KushDeck has a few more miles under the CM9 build, I'll be jumping over to that. I am quite sure that the AOSP kernel won't have this issue.

Any chance that the Bluetooth 4.0 protocol is having compatibility problems with older devices???

Yep I use media button router too. And it works somewhat.... Sometimes when I hit play/pause it will pause and still bring up the media menu... Sometimes it will pause the music for a second but the music keeps playing. FF AND RW buttons do almost the same thing with media button router.
I haven't had any problem with FF or RW on the Bluetooth. Just the play/pause.

This is pretty much the exact issue I'm having.
I use bluetooth to listen to Pandora on my car Stereo (JVC) and with my Evo 4g phone I had no issues with any of the controls. From my stereo I could skip songs and play/pause Pandora. I just recently got an Evo LTE however and while I'm still able to skip songs the play/pause button on my stereo doesn't do anything anymore.
From reading here, it sounds like that's the same issue everyone is having. All functions work over BT ~EXCEPT~ Play/Pause. This is actually a good thing that the issue is occurring so consistently, means we're more likely to see it fixed via an update from Google.
I have the same headset as the op and mine is hit or miss, but works most of the time. Sounds like it might be a phone issue hopefully it will get fixed with an update or after the source is released.

With the upgrade to ICS I am no longer able to make the button on my wired headset pause/unpause music. I've tried freezing the Voice Commands app using Titanium, I've tried using the Jays Headset Control app, I've tried other music playing apps like Rocketplayer. I can always make the button pause music successfully while the screen is on, but if the screen is off it simply doesn't work. My primary music player is the standard "Play Music" app that comes with ICS.
Are others having this problem? Have you found a way around it?
I am having the same issue too, once the screen locks I cant pause, rewind, or fast foward
I'm having the exact same issue using DoggCatcher. I have a brand new set of phillips headphones for android that worked great before the update. If anyone can figure this out, it would be great.
Try Poweramp, it has a setting that gives Poweramp a higher priority for this case (Haven't tested it with ICS yet, but on GB this worked).
Other than that, it's a nice and beautiful music player btw.
Thanks for the poweramp suggestion. I gave it a try this morning but it behaves exactly the same as the other music apps. Headset controls work fine when the screen is on but don't work at all when the screen is off. I suppose it's good to hear that others are having problems too, which means it's not a problem with just my phone. I'd love to hear a solution!

Same problem here after upgrading to ICS. Headset controls work perfectly with the screen on but don't work at all with the screen off. I have tried using JAYS Headset Control, Headset Button Controller, Headset Droid, and the built-in headset control functions of Winamp and Poweramp all to no avail. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the lock screen music controls disappear after installing headset control apps due to some sort of conflict between the app and the Android system.
Anyone find a solution to this? Your ugly red head step child the Droid Bionic seems to have the same problem. So I was hoping there'd be some app or setting to flick to make the controls work when the screen is off.
Also eager to find the best solution on Android, it is pretty easy on iOS!!!
As a music fan, this feature means a lot for us. But seems Android doesn't like music as iOS.
For me, I have upgraded to JB 4.1 and my current solution is create a smart action like launch Google Play Music when plug in headset. The control works for pause and play when screen is off. Actually it also works for skipping by double clicking very quickly, but it seems a little bit hard to achieve, or you can say it doesn't work. But it DOES work sometimes. Good luck!

This doesn't work for me. I think i could use the headset controlls before installing headset controller.

ive been using poweramp, and this may just be my choice in headphones, but ive never gotten those buttons to work on CM10...again this may just be me, but ive never gotten headphone buttons to work on my RAZR
Install Headset button controller, tap on the Advanced label, scroll until you find the 'Advanced settins' entry (it's the last on the list), check 'Prevent sleep mode' option. It works fine, but it's a shame we have to pay for an app in order to fix a os's bug.
For me the problem was MotoCast. After I disabled in the settings everything worked great.
Hi all. I want Pandora to automatically start, and by start I mean open so I can use my bluetooth connection with my car stereo to control it. Once Pandora opens I can control it fine, but it would be nice to get in the car and have it be open so I can press play on the radio to start the song and not have to go to the phone to make it work. I am not familiar with any kind of terminal apps or command (although I would be willing to learn) so if a third party app is easier that's fine. One that worked for my old droid x2 called "autostarts" does not work with my rooted razr maxx.
Thanks in advance.
Eric
Just a thought. Have you tried using smart actions to do that?

Thanks, I did figure it out using smart actions, but now here's my next problem. App starts like it's supposed to, Bluetooth works. However when i go into work, come out at the end of the day, and my phone is locked, Pandora connects, but controls won't work because it's is locked. I have the Bluetooth override on, but out looks like that is more for an earpiece. The controls won't work unless i lock the screen. Anyway around this?
