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.

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.
I have a set of Scosche iPhone mic/earbuds. The mic and earbud parts work, but no controls. (well one button works out of the three...the pause, call/hangup button)
Are there any wired/mic earbuds that will control the 3D?
Or are there any apps that will give these earbuds control?
I don't know, I haven't looked into it too much, but u do know that beats by dre headphones have the same controls, and HTC and Monster Cables have paired up to include Beats Integration.
Headset Button Control will let you map actions like skip to a double and triple tap of the play/pause button, I believe Tasker will as well... I doubt you'll find anything that will allow you to use the volume buttons.
The entire question is contained in the title. I tried PowerAmp's feature, but it didn't work for me. I have the headset the S3 came with.
double-click on the pause/play button of the supplied S3 headset to skip track.

I've worked out how to do this, on my S3 at least, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28752382#post28752382

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.
