It seems like on most of the newer Android Nand and ClockworkMod builds the hard keys on the wired headset don't work. Does anybody know if there is a way to fix this? It would be great if there was an apk or a zip file that I could install to fix this, or better yet have it built into the ROM like it used to be.
If no such fix exists then does anybody know of a CWM (preferrably Desire based) build where the wired headset works?
I just tried the new CoreDroid rom and it doesnt work. Anybody using a rom where the wired headset works?
Also, I just heard back from the Revolution 2.3 rom developer and he said he would test and see what he could do. That sounds promising.
Concur - this is essentially needed for listening to music.
I hope a solution can be found
ps: on first rafdroid 1.0 revision It was working but with all new nand desire hd based ROM since 1.72 I think nothing work only voice recognizing ...
Ok, I'm pushing that thread up cause we really need headset support. I think we need to get organized to offer proper bug-reports. Like that, dev's will be more inclined to work on this.
It is indeed not possible to use the "stock" headsets with Android ROMS/NAND. It's one of the other thing that WP7 proove it was not impossible to achieve (like wake up lag or 720p recording), it just need some work. In WP7, the headset button work (and are used for increasing/decreasing the volume).
This is the behaviour I encountered with EVERY ROM (Sense, CM 6.1 and Ginger) and EVERY PLAYER I tried (Stock Android, Stock Sense, MusicMod, PlayerPro and ³) :
While the stock headset offer "Play/Answer", "Next" and "Previous" buttons, none of them work. To be more specific : they work the first time you press them for me, then that's it; that is only the NEXT button actually.
The first time I try the NEXT button it behaves as it configured in the Player used (ex : in PlayerPro, Volume Down for a quick press, Next track for a long press). The second time you press, it is no longer working.
I think (but I'm not sure) that the Play/Pause/Answer" button also work once. After that, impossible to answer a call from the headset which is A REAL problem actually. The time you reach for the HD2 in your pocket, you missed it.
I don't recall the Previous working at all.
Please, report any other behavior. And if you have tried other headsets, don't hesitate to also comment on their behavior.
It's really annoying for people who uses the HD2 as a music player.
Thanks !
My headset works for about 5 minutes and then it would crash my phone
Latest raf kernel (1.7) has the headsets working. Not super reactive at first but after a few press, it works fine.
At last !

This update for HTC HD2 HTC Sense enhances the stability of the music application so your enjoyment of your music is no longer interrupted by the player behaving unexpectedly.
Installation Instructions:
Note: This update is only applicable to ROM versions equal to 1.73.xxx.x, or lower.
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=938&news_id=637
Installed without problems. I had very few 'stability' issues with the music app to begin with, so it'll be a while before I'll be able to tell if it improved anything.
And yeah, dammit, you beat me by a minute!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=671207
what changes does this actually make, htc are always really vague saying what a patch does. does it by anychance fix the library reloading everytime
From time to time playback freezes for a few seconds - pretty rare but annoying - maybe this will be fixed.
Or maybe this is how HTC describe the annoying problem where Audio Booster does not automatically kick in when starting playback for the 1st time after a reboot?
the music player is always lag. unlike iphone player which is alot better
That's true, Music Player lags a lot... mainly after a couple of days without switching off the telephone and after an intense use of the player (2-3 hours)..
I hope this hotfix will solve those problems...
Does anyone has any feedback about it?
I wonder if there will be a hotfix for TMOUS, It lags so much i just dont even use that tab anymore

Not yet I'm afraid, but there are things you can do to help with the music tab, check out both of these threads:

Can someone post this cab, it dissapeared from HTC support site
using artemis v9 rom. 16gb card. much faster near instant load and scan of 12mb of music takes 20 secs from several minutes.
Whoooha - /WIN.
No lag (stop in music after every 10 seconds) any longer when putting device into sleep pushing power off once.
Old Work-around to push and hold power off and let it go to sleep from the screen with 'shut down' menu is now absolete.
After this fix just find your music, push play and one-hit power off to let it go to sleep and music plays perfectly.
Super upgrade - waaaaay to late - but glad its fixed!

Audio booster is still not working
As my title, the audio booster is still not working properly after this update. It seems to cut out every time there is a drop in network connectivity.
This is a great shame, because for me it prodcuces the best audio output when combined with SRS WOW.
I am using S2P until audio booster is fixed, because bass level-wise, it is the next best thing. I know it is an iphone-clone along with S2U2, but they both do what I want for this particulalar purpose, so who cares!
Maybe one of the things they have fixed is where non HTC (4-pole connector) headphones make the phone act oddly like randomly redialling the last number dialled and the volume rocker fast forwarding tracks instead of doing the volume...?
Breaks Bluetooth Audio
Hello all.
I installed this hotfix on to Artemis 8.0 ROM and it broke the streaming of music to my bluetooth headset. Tried re-pairing the headset etc. to no avail. Anyone know a quick fix to return the audio output to my BT headset?
Thanks...
Guys, it says for HTC Sense. But thoes this effect WMP at all? I never use Sense to play music. But I have seen that WMP just randomly stop playing my music etc.
Any idea?
This fix does nothing for me... i still get lag, the pauses every 20-30 seconds...
REALLY ANNOYING. Although it didnt do it before, it jsut started in the last couple days, after a hard reset. ????
Does anyone have a solid solution to this problem? i dont wanna have to go to the 3rd party program EVERY time i want to listen to music.

I have now stopped using S2U2 and S2P and now using CHT Lockscreen and HTC Music again. There is still the Audio Booster problem, but with SRS WOW and Audio Booster on "Normal" it seems to be fine. I think if you choose a setting that it different, or customised then you notice the cut out. Either way, the phone seems more stable using less third party tweaks and software.
So i got this problem for many months now.
It does not matter which player i choose (i tried most common ones)
and the app headset blocker doesnt fix the issue.
basically the music just randomly stops or loops or just changes wildly around.
im running cm 7.1 but previous versions were the same.
is there any other fix yet? headphones are standard sennheiser inear.
sometimes it works though..but mostly not.
I had the same problem with aftermarket earphones.
Randomly music would play, pause, restart loop crash and whatever.
Took me months to figure out, this is my lifesaver now:
Disable AutoPlay will disable your Media Button Inputs from your headset remote control. This will avoid your phone from starting the media player if you connect normal headphones.
warning: if media button is disabled you will not be able to accept calls with your headset remote control.
You can download it from the market, its free.'
Search for Disable Autoplay.
Well since i dont even have a headset that wont matter... ill try that, i couldnt reproduce the bug now but ill see if it gos away now..thanks anyway
So this happens when you wear headphones (are standard sennheiser inear) or random running musicplayer?? .
So i could test it today and it didnt fix the issue.
it happens when i hear music via headphones with any music player.
( for example winamp playerpro stock player etc...)
any other ideas?
From posts that i read, the number of circles on the ear phones Jack can cause the skips.
Im using a skull candy earphone and its working fine. The headset blocker is taking in effect. Music does not skipping/pause/replay anymore. Im running on absolutionv3.7 based on cm7. Oh yeah, I'm using stock music player.
But headset blocker does not work on sense roms. T.T I wish it worked on sense roms. Also, stock music player on sense rom.

ell now i went into some famous german media shop and looked around if there were any headphones that around complete garbage and work with htc phones specifically, but of course no luck. and since all the other headphones have the exact same connector i dont think it will change a thing.
i still onder if it could be cm7?
well i read same issues from stock rom users. and it as the same with cm6.
and i now learned that those are the only headphones with that connector that i own :l
can you recommend me another good rom to try?
must have is (which was the initial reason i use cm) a fixed bluetooth stack. stock rom doesnt allow me to use my wiimote (and afaik all sense roms have that issue)
a kernel that lets me oc to at least 1,5 gh and an overall slim look and feel. hate that rubbish sense stuff.
@kakihara - What kernel are you using? I had massive music skips when used default cm kernel, but when I changed to LordClockan BFS kernel, all music skips were gone, and I can fully enjoy music listening no matter what player I choose.
@Desire HD & CyanogenMod
I too had a similar issue after I flashed CM7 & 7.1. Also had this issue with an ICS ROM (I forget which one). I am interested to see the cause and any fixes. I gave up and went back to my trusty RCMix3D V4.0 ROM.
I actually sent my phone to repair when i first discovered this issue, but they couldn't determine anything wrong with my phone. When i installed headset blocket, it thankfully worked(from time to time). But my final solution is that i'm going to buy a pair of Klipsch Image S4a(Android Controls), since i'm in need of some new earbuds anyway. I hope it solves the issue.
I got a htc headset and music controls do not work, there's any workaround for it on CM7.2??
About your problem
Hi, i guess you've installed a custom rom on your htc. So mostly everyone custom rom have bugs. In my opinion problem solving is:
1. Search in google. Enter your make, model,custom rom name, and one word headphones.
2. Try to search another similar custom rom.
If nothing helps, installing another custom rom at least you will see where is the problem, in rom or in phone?
Was i helpful? I don't know, i've tried

Mmm I believe the hardware may be incompatible! Why don't you try installing poweramp and check if it is responding to the hardware controls... If it does you should searh for a CM workaround else the headset may juust be incompatible!
I'm having trouble with the HTC headset as well, but I'm on an X2 with Eclipse 2.1. For some reason it will ask me which app it wants to send the headset button press to instead of allowing PowerAmp to take it.
Hello everyone,
Recently I purchased a-JAYS One+ headphones with a button and a mic to have a great sound and ability to control music playback using special apps. But I found the following problem: my phone can't recognise multiple or long button clicks. It thinks, that I did one short click, when I press it twice or hold it for a couple of seconds.
I tried different ROMs: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, with CyanogenMod, without, but the result is the same.
Does anyone know, is it possible to solve that problem or not? Advice to buy a BT headset isn't a solution.
Thank you.
have you tried sdsl v1.1 ??

sry for my bad english
Yes. I tried SDSL 1.1, LewaOS and bs828's softMod, based on SDSL 1.1. None of them helped me
Any other ideas?
I think that was not posible even on stoc rom. :-(

Hi, I'm currently using the Codename Android rom by 0.0 with the grapefruit kernel. Love this rom and I really believe the developers on this site are effin geniuses (it blows my mind the way you guys can develop these sorts of things. Thank Bob for technology). Anyway, I saw that a few issues I have are being worked on and the grapefruit kernel solved my WiFi issue and lowmic zip fixed the obvious.
Currently, the problems I am having are as follows:
I can't use speaker during phonecalls and I noticed that when I unclick speaker, I can still hear the person I'm talking to, but they can't hear me (unselecting speaker seems to permanently mute the mic for the duration of the call. The mic works fine as long as long as the speaker isn't selected).
The Netflix app crashes immediately, the Hulu app will not play videos because it'a missing DRM support, and a few apps like the piano app I use (easypiano two touch) crashes once I press on a key. There's also apps that have terrible display quality like The Sims and Office Jerk. Does the fact that flash player's not supported in Android versions beyond 4.0 have anything to do with any of these issues?
Lastly, mms won't send (it'll look like it's sending, but never succeeds) and trackpad won't wake up cell (But I think I read that that's not so much an issue as it is just not an option).
BTW, anyone know of a great + free voice recorder, FM radio, and car dock app? (2.2 had them, but this rom doesn't). Thanks in advanced. I hope the more I learn the less questions I'll have.
