Is controlling music player or radio while the screen is locked possible? I'm thinking of buying a headset with previous/next buttons and I'd like to skip songs/channels without unlocking the screen every time.
Go on Android market and download Mortplayer. Double clack the Galaxys headphones and it skips the song. Single press stops the music, its great ;-)

That function also applies to doubleTwist. A very good music/video player.
Double-click skip track also works on winamp

U can pull down the dusk at the top of the screen when it's locked and control your music player. The player must be started before locking the screen though

bluetooth can do that
but like most people you might not be into the idea of using stereo bluetooth headsets

Nope, no matter how quick I push it twice, it doesn't work I'm on 2.1, may be that's the reason
Thinking about getting the car mount for my Galaxy S. I was wondering whether anyone would recommend a specific music player for such use? The bog standard music player is pretty decent as it allows you to control the music from the pull down notification screen but I was wondering if any other does this as well/better than the bog standard app?

Does anyone know if it is possible to listen to audio through the jack with the screen off? I mostly listen to books from audible.com using the player they provide. It is a real drain on my battery, but I feel that a big part of the problem is that I must leave the screen on, or I get no audio.

well how do you do it?
I noticed on Desire roms that when a notification goes off while music is playing that the notification plays other the music so the music does not pause. However on Stock/Cyanogen instead that the music is silenced then the notification is played ruining the music experience. Is there anyway to get around this other than putting the phone on silent/vibrate?
ya this is SOO annoying. i get frequent emails and it just is irritating. a workaround would be nice. thanks for posting this.
The notification sound doesn't interrupt music here. I use CM 5.0.3.1.
+1 for this
I use my n1 as primary music player
Also wondering if anyone also interested having the trackball to be able to control music playback while the device panel is off. sliding the trackball will go reverse and sliding forward will fastforward.
Or even just pressing the trackball to change tracks.
I know all of this is possible with the stock headphones that come with the n1 but i dont use them. they are big and ugly imo. lol sorry to get off topic but i think this is kinda on the same wavelength
On stock nexus one, music pauses for notifications when using wired headphones but not when listen through bluetooth headset.

Whenever I use my stock my headphones, the music just seems to mute while the notification plays. I've noticed that most times, if not every time, the song has skipped a few seconds while muted, as if it were still playing while notification was playing. Very annoying.

That would be very cool....controlling the music with the Trackball during the display is off....wow
Only if it doesn't interfere with the Navigation. You do not want the Nav and Music playing together. The Hero does this and you can't hear the Nav Directions. Useless. So, yeah...if it doesn't interfere with the Nav.....it'll be a good idea!

Are you sure your phone isn't on vibrate or silent?
This is only happening with wired headset.
Use Bluetooth one and the notifications wont interrupt the music.

You're lucky you didn't have a G1.
When plugged into my car, listening to music / podcasts, if a notification came in, the sound would be so freaking loud it would shatter my eardrums.
You'd learn fast to put it on vibrate...
Luckily, the N1 doesn't have the same volume difference problems.

over BT the notification will play WITH the music and not instead of the music.
With a wired headset the notifications will stop the music, please notification and resume music.
I would like to start working on a way to change the function of the push button received from the headphones. Mainly for when your driving, but this would also be helpful when you need to work with your hands, but still would like to use your phone!
I would love to make an app, but i have no exp in doing this, so basically this is my REQ for a developer to work with to create,develop,test help build my idea.
A customizable app that allows you to choose to open apps, perform actions, play music, skip, pause,play etc with different clicks of the button (Like the older/newish ipod shuffle controls)
If your interested or have any material or ideas for me to start looking into gpio settings please add to the post.
My ideal click config would be:
[Current]
1 click - Depending on Phone State : Open up Music Player/play/pause/answer call/end call
[Additional - Needs to be added]
2 clicks - Next Song
3 clicks - previous song
Click and Hold - Open Voice Control Program (in my case Vlingo) Should be configurable via GUI or config file
(I'm not sure how many commands we can actually store, but if there are more then we can surely add more and more features)

How much money do you have?
I already have the answer. Get a set of the Motorola S9-HD Bluetooth headset. You can do all things you require with them (over bluetooth of course) The sound quality is AWESOME
well, that's not the correct answer, ths idea for an app is really nice, I dont have experience in android development either but I'd like to have this app, and I would donate, Once I saw an application like this for WM and it was awesome( Former WM user)

AD2P simply SUCKS quality-wise.
If you don't notice the difference, well, good for you .
but with the same kind of money you can get so much more quality you can't even compare.
The kind of fearure the OP is working on would be just awesome for who wants quality or doesn't. want to spend money for the same of it and remote controls . looking forward to it.

I'm going to start sifting through the Kernel and Source Code that was posted from samsung for anything related to the headset. They defiantly have a way to recognize the clicks, I just dont know how to access them to tell the phone what to do.

Fingers crossed that this is on topic enough...
On my Captivate, the hardwired headset that came with it has a button in the wire. This button doesn't seem to do anything. What is it supposed to do?
Also, I have a bluetooth Jabra BT3030. None of the buttons function with the Captivate. They all worked fine on my Tilt (WM). Should all of the bluetooth buttons work with this phone? Also, when I turn on my bluetooth it pairs fine, but doesn't automatically connect. I've read about this happening with other people. I'm wondering if it's just this old bluetooth device isn't compatible with the Captivate. Any opinions?
Thanks,
Rich

The button you speak of will pause and un-pause music from my experience. I'm not sure if it does anything else.
It also answers incoming calls and in at least one music player (can't remember which one, maybe DoubleTwist?) a double click skips to the next track.

You obviously haven't tried out the s9_HD pair. They are really good quality. I have a $50 pair of Sony buds, and the S9s are just as good.
BTW you can get them for $60 on the net. So where did you say you can get better quality buds for far cheaper?
Also I mostly use my S9s' at the gym, because my wired pair of buds kept getting caught on the weight bars. When I run on the treadmill I always set my phone on the top tray and kept yanking on the cord. I actually knocked my phone on the floor a couple of times.

its supposed to pause and play your music or atleast thats what it does on mine
Yeah, my buttons doesn't do anything with any music player I've tried. I don't use the stock captivate player, I prefer pretty much any other music player over it. Right now, I'm using the one I pulled for the vanilla rom awhile back.
In Slacker radio the button pauses and unpauses. I think this is going to be more of an issue of the software developer using the functionality of the button, not making the button talk with the software.

Through more investigation it seems that the software determines what happens on button press, so really this is going to be a look through to see where it allows us to select which program launches on button press.

I wish I looked into it before my 30 days were up. The button on my headset does nothing (never has). I dont know if it's just the wire or it's the phone (hardware or software).
Yeah I would definitely DONATE too if you could work this out, it would make my life much easier
I ride a Kawasaki Ninja, and it's become increasingly difficult to be able to have one ear listening to music lately (using my Vibrant as my MP3 player).
The issue:
While riding at speeds greater than 15-20mph, the button on my wired headset is activated by the wind constantly (both the stock wired headset that came with it, and my new Skull Candy ones). This causes my music to "sputter" the whole time I'm moving. I thought maybe it was just the stock headset, so I went and got a really nice set....and...same problem. Apparently, it has to do with the wind blowing into that mic/button area, and activating the button. Both headests normally work just fine, but that wind is causing an issue when riding...
What I'm looking for:
I'm looking for a way to disable the headset pickup/hangup/play/pause button. At the very least, just the play/pause part of it, but I haven't found any solution yet.
My music randomly pauses for no reason... I think the button is just broken.
I too would like to disable the button.
Bump
Ideas? Anyone? Getting desperate...
Try a diffrent music player, also dig aroung the settings in the app

There's an app called poweramp and it has an option to disable the button (I think) the app can be found in the Vibrant themes n apps thread

Put duct tape over that part of the headset?
Use earphones with no button? Like the ipod ones?
Looking for an actual fix...
Reasoning:
1) Using a headset without a button:
I don't want to have to carry around 2 headsets (one for music, one for phone)2) Using a different app:
I want to be able to use things like Pandora Radio, which only really plays out of one player.3) Duct tape:
I could just as easily pour super-glue into the button cavity...oh, wait...no
HI guys! I recently faced this problem:when I am listening to the stock google music player and I press the power button,the music buttons(play/pause,rewind) are missing from the lockscreen.I restarted my phone and it's still the same.Do you know what the problem is?
Try locking the screen with the music player in the foreground once.

Can I ask you something. When you were using headset control did you have artefacts on lock screen like either shrunk camera app or music widget that was blinking intermittently?
This only happens when on lock screen (screen on) and pressing headset button to play music ...

Hi, I had the same problem, I contacted them by the site and FB to ask them to fix this problem, I'll say you what they said !
