Hey peeps, basically I have a pair of headphones that only has one button on it, to start and stop music. I've noticed on windows media player that on the buttons tab, Play & Pause are linked to ENTER....which is the same button my headset is using to pause tracks.
What I want to be able to do is change the Next Track button to ENTER instead, this way I could change tracks without even getting my phone out. I've already tried to press my headset button whilst trying to re-assign buttons but that doesnt work. Is there anything out there to help me? I have a theory that if the keyboard could stay up when re-assigning buttons I may be able to do it. any ideas guys?

Hi,
I have installed coreplayer on my trinity and it works ok- sounds so much better than windows media player!
I do have a few problems with it though-
it seems the phone will not wake up from sleep state very well- it takes a few presses on the wake up button to wake it up......
Also, when syching my blueant X5 bluetooth headphones to the trinity it wont sync while using core player- i have to go into WMP and start a song there, and then resync the headphones. then once i close that program and go into coreplayer the music is now working thru the headphones. Why is this? Any way i can fix it?
Also, my headphones work great with WMP as in i can hold down the volume up key on the headphones to go to next song etc but cannot get this to work for coreplayer..... i tried to remap a button for it under menu but it wouldnt let me choose a button on the headphones- it didnt register that i was clicking it...... is there anything i can do to get this to work?
thanks
Scott
Hey all,
I was just wondering if there is a way to control the music player with the headphone button. I am used to stuff like "pressing button twice = next track" etc.
Is there any chance to employ that kind of control on the Blackstone?
Many Thanks,
s
Either there is no quick solution to this or it is too simple. In either case, please let me know
headphone button? No headphone button that I know of on the Touch HD! Only buttons are volume control and the power button...:-\

There is a button on the cable for the headphones, right where the microphone is. When I hold it down I access voice speed dial. If I click it several times I think it redials the last number used. During an incoming call it can be used to answer, and a long press will hang up.
It would be nice to be able to skip track with double click, and pause with single click.

The way such buttons work is very basic, and the potential solution (this was achieved on another device I used) was substituting whatever program is watching the events related to shorting the contacts. Usually it's the voice dial thingie. So theoretically one could write an application with the same name as the one for voice dial, which would issue relevant commands to the player. It's a pretty straightforward task as soon as you know what are the events, how they are generated, what application is currently watching for them, and last (but not least) know how to code. Unfortunately, I am no programmer.
I found while running MP3's with coreplayer while using the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 bluetooth headset, that the sound would play for about 5 seconds then cut out for about 5 seconds constantly.
I then realised it was as soon as I hit the "power" "sleep" button.
So to fix the problem I hit the power button then hit it again so the screen shows the screen lock page. Then put it in my pocket and it goes to sleep by itself but plays the music perfectly.
Not 100% sure why this is but thought I would share it!
This is happening to me with my HBH-IS800 as well. The audio keeps cutting out. I'll try your method and see if that works.
Are you able to control the volume of the IS800 outside of Coreplayer? Are you able to use the system volume or the volume in a player like Windows Media Player to control the volume? I'm unable to and it's really frustrating.

This also works for the wired headset/earphones... even with the "dont stop playing when screen off" fix it still cut out... but following this easy little step it worked...
I can't control the volume outside of coreplayer really annoying!
I use my music player quite a lot, and am looking for ways to improve on the experience on Android phones.
What I wish to do is to be able to control the music in the following ways, regardless of whether the screen is turn off or on, and regardless of whether the music program is running in the foreground or background.
- long press volume up button: go to next song
- long press volume down button: goo to previous song
- press both button together: toggle between play and pause.
- normal volume up and down still controls the volume
I found a program in the market place, but it only works when the music player is in the foreground, and the screen must be on.
I use this feature a lot on my iPhone before bed, and hope I can do the same on my SGS.
Is there such a program you're aware of in the Market place?
that's interesting
however, I find it easier using my Bluetooth A2DP for that sort of things.
it works both in my car and my stereo headset
i can remote control the play of the music before/next, stop, pause, play, random, volume, etc
best is, if a phone comes in, it automatically switches to phone mode, and when the call is over, it resumes back to music mode.
The only single problem i've found is, i don't know now to answer the 2nd call via bluetooth, if 2 people are calling me at the same time.
I don't use Bluetooth. Also, I love connecting the music player to a proper sounding speaker system in my bedroom and lounge.
Hello, I use Doggcatcher for my podcasts. On my old stock android phone I was able to long press the volume up/down buttons on my wired headset to fast forward/rewind 15 seconds on a podcast. This is not working on Touchwiz. When I long press the volume just goes up/down. Settings on Doggcatcher are set up correctly to allow long pressing fast forward/rewind. Seems the issue is with Touchwiz. Anyone have any ideas on how to get this functionality turned back on? Thanks
Do you have 'for wired headsets' enabled in the Google voice > hands free settings? For some reason I couldn't skip tracks in Play Music unless that setting was enabled.
