Hi
This seems to happen to all music tracks I have been waiting for answer for 2 weeks now, I use a app called tiny call control, it just stops the last number dialing problem

Wish we can find a fix for this. Also seems the volume buttons on a stereo headset do nothing!!! So as of right now if you want to change tracks or adjust volume while using and Bluetooth or wired stereo headset which has all the buttons on it, you have to pull this device out of your pocket and do it all manually on the device. Which makes my $150 headset useless as of right now. Anyone finding or developing a fix for this?

Not really true: My Sony MW1 BT headset works perfect... I would say the same about all headsets with dedicated buttons. Tried the urBeats for HTC at a store, works without any problems. But you don't have volume control on this one...
Im using the beats Tours and the volume doenst work neither does play/pause, or skip, and i cant use the play/pause/skip button to answer and end calls like i could on my iphone. you would think a phone branded with beats would fully work with beats headphones... update soon hopefully? for this and for sense 4.1 and android 4.2, i cant see why HTC wouldnt want to keep their flagship up to date with the most recent android as long as possible... tho the original HOX is just now getting the 4.1 update while 4.2 is already out for nexus devices

Bro, 4.2 has been out for what, 48hrs? Lol, hold your horses for our update and from the few using it they say its buggy and not as stable or good as JB 4.1. No rush here for a buggy OS.
I think it might be a Sense problem with the headset controls. Weird the other poster said it worked for him and his headset, must have a magical headset? I have these earbuds, http://www.bose.com/controller?url=..._ear_headphones/index.jsp&model=mie2i_headset and only control that works is to pause and play the track, that's it. They have this version of the same earbuds, http://www.bose.com/controller?url=...n_ear_headphones/index.jsp&model=mie2_headset specifically for Android devices so maybe this is why it doesn't fully work for me? Still doesn't seem very likely. Going to get the new Jaybird's for Xmass and they are fully compatible with Android so will find out then if the problem still arises, http://www.bestbuy.com/site/JayBird...p?id=1218813784721&skuId=6917118#tab=overview

Hi guys, I've had my Hero about a year now. The other day, all of a sudden my speaker seemed to stop working. I thought, oh great, it's a hardware bust. I then tried a call and the sound came out fine. That is the only sound working. Everything works with my earphones plugged in. Any advice?
Any ideas guys, I'm pretty desperate here -_-
It could be something wrong with your media volume? I know when you plug in headphones there is a different volume setting? Try a sound volume manager like audio manager .. there is different
Does the problem replicate itself on different roms. etc.. also what rom are you using.
sorry, I know this is basic
Thankyou for the reply man .
Unfortunately I know it is not down to a volume problem because also the ringer volume does not make any sounds.
I am currently on an ancient Floyo ROM as I haven't been able to flash over the last few months. I'm currently waiting for a Froyo Sense with working camera or a reasonably stable GingerBread ROM.
Did you test a handsfree calling? Try making a call and enabling mobile speaker (there should be an option pressing menu button while you are calling).
HTC Hero, as many mobile phones, has two different speakers, one in the back used to play music and loud sounds, and another one on the front to make calls. I think your back speaker is not working and that's why you can't hear anything except voice when you call.

Thankyou, I did not know there were two different speakers, although I suppose it makes sense when you think about it!
Tried what you said and my back speaker is definitely knackered - may have just persuaded myself to get a Z >_>
cheers
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.

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
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.

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.

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%

Reguardless what i connect to with bluetooth be it my computer, my car, or my bluetooth headset the music controls (play, pause, forward, reverse, and starting the voice talk thing) no longer seem to work properly if the screen is off when i activate them.
Scenario: Listen to music via bluetooth in my car.
Press voice call button on my deck
Phone screen is off, its sitting in the glove box (not legally allowed to be within reach when driving)
What SHOULD happen: Brings up the voice control app... "What would you like to do", and i can tell it to play music or make a call or text or whatever.
What DOES happen: most of the time nothing, returns an error that the phone does not support this feature.
The same happens for when i want to change the song or play/pause the music.
Also get the same sort of problem from my bluetooth headset (Blueant T1) when starting the "voice commands" option. If the phone screen is off i get an error, if the phone screen is on it works as it should.
This only started happening after updating to ICS XXLPQ (stock). Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a different version of ICS that works better, or a custom rom thats tweaked for everything? I use bluetooth damn near every day, it has to work for me.
Thanks in advance!
Bump? Does anyone know what im talking about, have you experienced this sort of thing? Are there others with this problem or should i try reinstalling my rom as if it were an isolated event? I could really use some direction here.
Hi,
I have same problem with my autoradio sony MXBT3900U.
GS2 reboot every 15 min when I use bluetooth function (a2dp, phone, etc.)
I've read that 4.0.4 ics version resolve this issue.
I think we should wait this update or install a custom rom with 4.0.4 (hydrogenics, etc.) or install a GB version.
rgs.
I've got the same problem while playing music in my car.
What I've found MIUI ICS roms support this nicely.
and I've been using them cause of this very purpose.
Actually I kinda like MIUI.
Regards
Gaurav
FWIW, when I got the message you mention about not supporting this feature, I found it was because it was trying to ask me which app I wanted to open in response to the button press.
Try pressing the BT button when screen unlocked and check that it's not something silly like that.
Having read your post properly, it probably isn't.
Yes, it most definately is not something silly like that. Glad to hear im not the only one, now to wait another 5 months to get an update from Samsung I really with sammy was better with updates...
Yep...got the same problem too - pause/play just wont have it on ICS. I've tried a few ICS ROMs - all got the same issue, sound is clear as bell and next/prev tracks work fine - but not pause/play! But must admit, I've yet to try a MIUI Rom.....suggestions?
ICS is proving a PITA for me. I'm on Wanamlite at the mo and I need Sky Go to work (which it does fine) but on the 4.0.4 ROMs I've tried like Hydrogen, it wont work! Knowing my luck, if I try a MUIU rom and I get pause/play to work on my BT headset - Sky Go won't
Found the following post when doing a search on it:-
Fix Bluetooth headset/headphone controls in Mog for Android 4 (ICS)
I submitted this via Mog Mobile App Support but was shot down and told to submit it as a "feature request" here. The problem is that Bluetooth play and pause controls do not work in the Mog app for Android 4 (ICS). The skip and rewind buttons work just fine, but play and pause are not responsive. Specifically, on my Galaxy Nexus device, I cannot play or pause music using the Bluetooth controls on any Bluetooth headset or headphones. This worked with previous versions of Android.
I have contacted the Android development team about this, and they said that the Play/Pause specification in ICS has changed a bit. And all that is required is a short coding change on your part (and other developers with similar apps).
They even provided the proper coding:

So it looks like there's the answer.... it's just that it may as well be written in Swahili for all the good it does me. Maybe the Devs can implement whatever that means, into the roms (or produce a flashable zip?)
EDIT: Found a temp workaround during more googling.... it's an app called Media Button Router and seems to do the job on my S2.... HTH somebody else here!
It helped me! Thanks! Now I hope they fix it for everybody. Media Button Router works for most of my audio apps. I wish it would just go back to the previously playing thing when you hit play though. That and it doesn't seem to recognize Audible for Android...

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?

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.
