I bought this phone 2 days ago. I'm using Spotify as my main music source. I used to use GS3 with CyanogenMod 13 and it had volume buttons skip track feature built in. I'm using Razer Adaro Earbuds so I don't have any buttons on it. I know Sony's earbuds has that feature when you double click it changes the music. There is bunch of apps that can do it but most of them aren't working with Spotify or they are very buggy. What can I do?

Is there a mod for Xperia Mini (ST15i) that makes possible to skip tracks in audio players with long press of volume buttons when screen is off?
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257260
But it's for Samsung phones.
I hope for Your help.
it would be nice
but at least we can double and triple click with the headset button
It's only function i miss from my old K750i.
Still searching...
FXP's Cynogenmod 7.2 has this function. You may try it or ask FXP .
Already tried the CM7, but I more like a stock ROM.
try Frinky Music Controller https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=frinky.volumeKeys.music.controller&hl=en
supports more than 200 music player including spotify and soundcloud.
single press controls music , more than one click controls volume.
actually long press can not be detected in stock roms.
Enjoy if it works in your phone
I've tried my SoloHD headphones on Sony S Tablet, and I've seen that them work so well (differently from the Xperia MiniPro who has a different audio jack setting). The central button when is pressed, pauses the song, another press to play (in music app, youtube etc); but the volume buttons and the double click on the center don't work. I think is requested a root solution to modify the key mapping, but until now is a great feature using this headphone on S1
In my previous phone LG G2, any headphone with audio control would work without a problem (that have three buttons (Vol +, pause , Vol -), double clicking Vol+ will skip to the next song, and Vol- to get to the previous song.
In my xperia Z2, that is not the issue, pause button will raise the volume up, the same thing to Vol+ button.
even the headhpones with the only mic and one button will raise the song volume instead of pausing.
Is there any way to fix this ?
Never had this issue, and I've used many types of headsets with my device (htc, samsung, sony, nokia) and even bt stereo headsets.
is this happening with the Walkman app only, or with any audio app you use ? have you tested other apps ?
Yes, it is universal, some people mentioned because Z2 use connector CTIA instead of the older OMTP standard, but apperantly is not that, some people get to headset to work and others not.
Hey, what's everyone using for headphones/earphones that are fully compatible with the Z2? I have the stock Samsungs, only the volume buttons work for volume - but the stop/start button doesn't work as intended, as well as not letting you skip tracks or go to the previous track (double or triple press).
I'm looking to buy a set that works.
I've heard the Xiaomi works fully on updated devices (running 5.0.2) and also maybe the Apple ones?
Cheers
I am currently looking for new ones too.
I can state that the Jays Five for Android worked just fine with my Z2. Unfortunately i broke them.
The Nocs NS500 have the same problem with the middle button
On my Klipsch S4i (Apple), the middle button and sound work, but not the upper and bottom buttons.
maybe buy SHB20 and use them with any good IEMs? i dont know how the sound quality is affected but i'm planning to do the same with my z2.
Can cinfirm, Xiaomi pistons work. ?
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.
