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!

same issue with atrix + mie2, just replied your post on the PowerAMP fourm
I have searched and found all kinds of conflicting information.
What is the story with the headset buttons and the atrix?
I have a headset that worked perfectly with my nexus one even with the stock player. With the atrix the phone takes over and the buttons only work to initiate a voice command.
Some third party apps such as winamp can get the play/pause to work.
So how do you get full music control on the atrix? If the answer is a new headset then why did mine work perfectly on the nexus one.
For full music control (not to mention audio quality) it would be best to use Stereo BT headphones, not a headset. http://goo.gl/ZiTpN
Hopefully there is a better way than BT. I really don't want to charge my headset.
worst part is that you can not received call with button on headsets.
as for music control...
do a market search for 'Headset Button Controller'
I know the button worked on my Atrix using the headphones that came with my Captivate for skipping songs and pausing. I don't know if I ever used it to recieve a call though.
I use Motorola SD9 HD's and all buttons on headset work. Auto switch for calls.
May have BT headset model wrong cos I'm in bar getting drunk!

Just downloaded the app. Looks great, hope it can do half of what it looks like. Looking forward to getting home and getting my headset out of my gym bag.
Thanks!!
I like my S9s though I use my T1 blue ant BT to stream netcasts/music and haven't wore them in a while. Running with my dog, at work, etc, I rather have an ear open and beautiful part is @ work no one knows I'm listing to the 404 or Android guys netcast ^_^ I'm just productive and waiting for a call.

vingo n google voice search may interfere with the app. freeze/uninstall them if not using.
moto seems to have made the long press of button associate with voice search/commands..
Right, now this almost made me send this phone back, thats how much it annoyed me, but i decided to soldier on none-the-less. I have a pair of Sony in earphones with remote, said remote works on my Desire, with every music player ive ever used in the last 19 months, never had a problem, but for some reason they dont work with my Razr, and neither do a pair of iPod/iPhone in earphones that are kicking around the abode (the missus', not mine ), with any music player i try that i know works on my Desire.
I queried this on another forum and apparently both sets of earphones i tried are "incompatible" Is this true? are only certain earphones able to work with the Razr? And if so, does anyone know if there is a "compatible" list of earphones that work?
Could you good people just list the earphones that work for you, and maybe we could get a good list of working sets for people to be able to reference to, to make life a bit easier for all us music listen too'ers.
Any help with this would be much appreciated, and not just by me im sure.
AFAIR there is an app on the Market to assign functions to those buttons.

Try "Headset Droid" out. I haven't tested with the RAZR, but it's worked for me on every other device.
I can confirm my SGS2 in-earphones are working flawlessly on my RAZR.
As for buttons, try one of the apps for assigning the buttons to functions.
any of these work for beats?

ugh, seriously? Google needs to standardize the headset controls pronto - this is a problem that should NOT exist..My RAZR arrives today so I'll post later this evening (CST) if the JLab J3M's work or not.
If all else fails, there's always bluetooth (those controls are standardized, so they'll work). I personally like the Jabra Clipper (if you can still find it). Allows you to use any set of headphones you prefer with the bluetooth receiver.

Ok, so without Headset Droid installed, my JLab's did not work - at all. Not even pause worked.
I installed Headset Droid and configured it as such:
General Settings ->
Double Click Delay: 250ms
Click and hold delay: 450ms
Target Media Player: Music
Ignore Simulated Clicks: NOT checked
Button Actions -> Play/Pause button actions ->
Single Click: Play/Pause + answer call/end call
Double Click: Next Track + decline call/mute mic
Triple Click: Next Track + repeat caller
Quadruple Click: Next Track
Click and Hold: Volume reset and rise
Double click and hold: rewind
triple click and hold: fast forward
These settings work acceptably with the stock music app (and I'm sure they'll work for any 3rd party app as well, just change the target media player setting).
Remember: Headset Droid will not work if on the main screen it doesn't say "service is activated". Headset droid should automatically start once it detects the use of headset controls.
You can try to tweak it for better response (mine's not perfect) by clicking on "headset monitor" and testing to see how your headset button presses are being interpreted by the system. You may need to change delays or other settings to get it just right for your tastes (i'm not 100% happy with mine yet either).
This is the only solution I have..but it's certainly better than buying a new headset that will most likely sound like..well..awful. Once it's set right, you never have to touch it again, it really is a silent app - if you like it, throw some cash the developer's way (as I have).
is there something like this for the razr

Yep I've had probs, when running I've randomly called people, not sure how as there's no controls on my Panasonic sport headphones, but did have endomondo and the music player running, perhaps there was a software conflict, any one else had it?
Hi, i have AKG Q350. Control (vol + & -) and mic don't work
I have a Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth head set. Sense it is motorola, all functions work with the RAZR, to include, play, pause, skip, go back a song, and volume. With a built in mike you can also send and receive phone calls.
Being wireless, it's great for working out or what ever. I have great range with mine. Haven't had any issues with sweat or humidity.
Only draw backs, if you have a small head, it may not fit you correctly. Also, sense the 2.3.6 update, volume is very loud. I have to keep all media volumes turned all the way down most of the time. And with the Battery/receiver portion in the back, it's not very comfortable to lay on. I have to go with regular head phones when lounging on the couch.
I love them for 95% of the day though. Give them a look.
Headphone jack wiring
I had this problem as well - I tracked it down to the pinout of the jack being reversed at the tip (mic and ground reversed) - which makes iphone-compatible headsets not razr compatible.
I picked up a nice set of Seinheiser's specifically for android, and they worked without a hitch. Anything designed to work for apple though, forget it.
I am of course excluding bluetooth from this, I'm talking wired headsets only.
It's a pain. There's an adapter you can purchase - kvconnection had them the last time i looked - but it's annoying to need yet another bit of tech.
My dr dre ur beats that came with a sensation xe dont work on the razr. They do respond with the app player pro. But still not 100%

Hi Guys,
Has anybody this type of headphone (this one)? I'm searching for new running headphones and saw this one. Only thing that makes me wondering, are the controls working on this one because the headphone is build for iphones?
Greets,
Crypt0
I don't have that pair but used 2 other pairs with remotes. 1 was specifically for the iphone. What I found is just the play pause button works. Any other one won't do anything. But there are apps that will let you program say 2 clicks to skip the track, 3 to select previous, holding button to increase volume, etc. I'd find out the return policy and maybe try it.
By the way, if you want a durable set with clear audio and gut punching bass... Look into Munito headphones. Their remote does work but it's just 1 button.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to enable the change track buttons?! I´m using a Jabra BT3030 and it´s working fine to adjust volume in spotify but i cannot change track...
I'm using Sennheiser bluetooth headphones and didn't change any setting to be able to change track, worked out of the box, but with the default player. I know that doesn't help you a lot; does your Jabra work ok with other devices; possibly it's a Spotify problem?

Yes, i was anle to do it on iPhone and android without any problems. But i found the issue now. I´m able to change track in the built in music app but not in Spotify...so it´s a spotify issue.
As for cabled headphones, what about pressing play button twice or three times? (twice makes it next track, three times makes it previous one). If this works it might be that WP doesn't recognize the other buttons on your headset. I'm just improvising, as a matter of fact I don't know anything about this stuff.

Actually that works with cabled...will test this later with my Jabra headset...but it´s kinda anoying that i cannot use the forward and back button on the headset when using spotify. It works in the built in app so i´m sure Spotify will sort it out in future updates.
