Hello all
I am trying to get a way to play/pause my fitness app (mainly use endomondo) that still lets me use the control buttons to control media. I have a Huawei P9/Android 6.0 and am using a wired running headset. I tried an inline media button adapter - which worked for controlling music ok, then activated the headset control function in endomondo, but it kind of takes over the functionality and stops it from working on the media so you end up running in silence - not helpful!
I'm now looking at something like this and wondering if the shutter button can be changed to send the intent to play and pause endomondo. Is there an app that lets you reprogram these buttons? I am a basic tasker user and am also wondering if that could also intercept the button?
Any guidance as to if this is going to be workable and if so, how, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I often use my phone to listen to the bible and listen to other things. But i really want to be able to turn on some background music with low volume and turn up the voices of my bible app.
Is there any app put there that could allow me to do better mixing?

I am looking to solve a similar problem.. I often use google navigation and google play music at the same time while driving; i don't like the music extremely loud, but if i set the music at a reasonable volume, I often cannot hear the navigation voice prompts clearly.
Will the above app let me turn up just the navigation voice prompts without affecting the music that is playing in the background at the same time? I think that both are outputed on the media audio channel, so if the app is just changing the volume at the level of the media channel it probably wont work.
Any ideas / experience is appreciated..
Thanks!
App volume can manage only the media stream, actually is not possible to separate per app streams with app volume app ...

It'd be awesome if some developer could manage to add the app's icon and volume slider to the default android volume bar upon expanding it..
just use automateit or tasker...

Here's what worked for me.
VLC media player has an equalizer that allows you to lower the volume of a song. Play songs on that at a lower volume and then find another application that allows you to run a separate media track to play audio tapes at a higher volume (my Lyrics Mania app works for this).
I just downloaded an app that worked:
App Volume Manager (for Android)
It is a relatively new app. You set the start up volume for the different apps. I just started using it. There are two issues with using this app:
1. I think it is a 21 day trial
2. I havn't been able to change volume realtime using the app.
For me it works because I just set the start of volume to what I am looking for. It is made to set the start volume not the real time volume.
Could you please shared the play store link?
I cannot figure out to find it.
Thank you

I believe this is the app referred to above:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jappstudio.appvolumemanager&hl=en
..haven't had time to try it, but the description indicates the free version is limited to three applications, but can be unlocked for about a dollar.
with 'App Volume Control' you can choose the volume for each app
non of this propositions work for me, but i know it is possible because when i start soundcloud and after flytube then soundcloud volume is decreased over the flytube.
Hi,
I m looking for the same, did you find it?
Thanks
Sorry to bring up an old thread but I am looking for the same thing. App Volume Control does not work for what the OP was asking for. What we want is something that will adjust volume settings per app under one main setting ie; Media, Ringtone, System etc. Example. I'm playing a game that requires sound on for certain things but also want to listen to Spotify while I play. Both use the Media setting. Is there an app that will adjust boths volume to ones desired levels. App Volume Control does not do this and even states it's not possible.
Dont think it can be done on android as of yet.
It all gets played through "media".
Example playing a podcast in background while playing a game, and you want the game volume lower.
On pc's one way around this is virtual cables and virtual mixers, so if someone was able to funnel each apps audio virtually (with ability to set each individually with a slider) before it gets sent to the "media" sound slider would be a great idea.
Having download Poweramp, because it allows you to play sound simultaneously with other music player, lower the sound of what you need to play using the equalizer function. That way, you have the main music player, playing what you want on a high sound and power amp playing music on a low sound.
SoundAssistant by Samsung lets you control the volume of app running at the same time I use it to have 2 things playing over each other. It works perfect!
I think it only works with galaxy phones though.
Wow achieved it Samsung Sound Assistant. Thanks.
I m shocked there is still not a solution for non galaxy devices.
in my use case I would also be happy with just muting one specific app while allowing the other to be controlled by the media stream. Anyone know if this is possible?

I'm looking for this too in other forum and got the answer that at this time Sound Assistant from Samsung just can do this thing.
Hello everyone. I have the skullcandy FMJ headphones but when i double click the inline control to skip track, it also calls back the most recent dialed number simultaneously. Does anyone know of any way to fix this? Preferably a way to disable the callback function?
download headset blocker from the market and you'll be good to go.
Thanks for your help, but I'm not looking for something to completely disable my headset as I'm not really getting any phantom calls, rather I need something to get around activating callback and next track at the same time.

What you want is actually Headset Button Controller, it'll allow you to change the stock behavior for double click plus it adds triple click, click and hold, and several other functions (or not, your choice). It's like $2-3 on the Market and there's a trial version I think. I use it with my MEElec M9P and it works perfectly. I'm surprised the app isn't more widely known since this is something manufacturers rarely get right on Android. Oh and it'll work with the stock music player and/or other players of your choosing.
If that's too steep (really?) there's a couple free music players that let you alter this behavior within the player only, I believe Winamp or dbPowerAmp do that, not sure. I like the stock player and it's integrated lock screen controls.

I use Headset Button Controller with my Sennheiser CX680i earbuds and it works great to control the button functions. You can even have it open an app upon cable insertion or preset volume etc. Great app.
Swyped using 2 cores and 3 Ds
Thats exactly what I was looking for Thanks!
Hi guys. So although I appreciate that google have added support for wired headsets into jellybean, unfortunately it doesn't behave the way I want it to. On my old Thunderbolt I installed headset controller and it worked great. Now what happens is when using headset control I get the function of BOTH the apply and the built in android operation.
When I single click the button it pauses my music and plays it, but the problem is with the rest of the features.
When I double click headset controller skips to the next track but Android starts a redial on my last called number ! Also when I hold down the button I want my volume controlled but Google Now gets activated.
Is there any way I can reassign these commands to do what I want and ignore the standard android commands ? I am rooted with a deodexed and debloated rom and cubed kernel in case that helps.
Thanks
Hey everyone, I've recently started using the HTC One but I don't really know what's going on with the controls on the headset that comes with the phone. There is only one button. One click is for play/pause, but double click redials my last call, instead of going to the next track. I've tried apps like headset button controller and it doesn't seem to be able to recognize my button clicks. Have any of you had this problem and what do you recommend I do?
yeah see here, It's the stock musicplayer that has the issue. Headset Drloid and another music app like Google Music were my solution

same problem here, i did what you mention, however, nothing happens, keeps calling the last person.
Holding the button for 1+ sec changes the track for me... But I have to be careful cause holding it too long brings up voice commands
HTC headset button - I can't get them to work properly
Hi everyone!
I was looking all over to find a way to use the remote controls of my Sennheiser and Urbanears Headsets with my HTC one for Music controls and calls reliably. However, I can't seem to get it to work and was hoping that someone here could help me out.
I really highly appreciate your help and I am willing to donate 10 USD for a working solution!
Phone: HTC One
Android Version: 4.2.2
HTC Sense Version: 5.0
Software: Android Revolution HD 12.1
HTC SDK API Level: 5.34
Kernel: 3.4.10-gd6147e
Music App: Grooveshark
I was trying everything I could find on the Internet to fix the Headset button behaviour. Two apps from the Google Play Store did better than the rest: Headset Button Controller and Philips Headset. However, none of them was able to interpret Headset button requests reliably. The apps would only react in about 5 % of the time to multiple clicks (Next track, Previous track, volume control etc). The authors of the app said, that my Custom ROM is probably the reason it is not working. Can that be true?
Does anyone know a reliable solution to use the Headset for Music controls or to be able to use it realiably with third Party apps such als Headset Button Controller? The intermediary solution I found was to interchange the key assignment of keys 163 and 226 - now I can at least Change to next track by click of a button, but thats it - no other functions with multiple clicks.
For sure the clicks on the button are registered by the phone - because I can see that it reacts, but for whatever reason only a limited number is actually interpreted by third Party apps.
I really highly appreciate your help and I am willing to donate 10 USD for a working solution!
Thanks,
best regards,

If your phone is rooted you can try HeadsetMod from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423160.
EDIT : Didnt notice that you are using grooveshark app. Not sure if it works with that. Its tested only with the default music app.
I got a pair of LG HBS-730 to input voice commands to my SG-N7100, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm on a stock CM10.1 and grab the input from Autovoice (a nifty Tasker plugin).
Depending on whether I activate Phone, Media or both in the Bluetooth settings of the headset, the input is either solely grabbed from the phone's microphone or is ignored.
I tried BTMono, BT Launch and a few other apps that claim to help with this, but it seems to be Android related. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=38566
I also tried disabling/renaming VoiceDialer.apk, but it only helps with the headset button presses not with the microphone issue.
Any tips are most welcome. I'll try anything at this point (including dabbling with Java and Android Intents).
Thanks in advance!
I have a similar issue. I can't get my phone to wake at all on a bluetooth press. If I am logged in and i press the bluetooth button it will then bring up my default options for voice control and any one I choose it will respond to voice. I tried BT Launch and it works well to wake up the phone but then I run into the same problem as you, which is the voice app will not respond to the voice prompts. Have you had any luck? It should not be this difficult to use a droid via bluetooth hands free.
