The volume buttons will never work. Samsung and Apple use a special headset jack with an extra pin to detect the volume buttons on their headsets. LG doesn't have them. So the issue lies in the hardware.

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.
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?
According to the leaflet that came with my phone I should be able to long hold the volume key and then the phone will recognise what music track is being played.
I can't seem to get this to work so can anyone tell me how to do it please if it's possible?
I think its the volume up key, that you hold down and a digital voice reads off what track and album your listening to?

confirmed, works well. the voice sounds half decent for once.
so i tested it with some of my metal music and lol while its really accurate for most things i found one quite funny...
Dimmu Borgir... Dimy Bogy
overall though very impressed.
Thanks, I'll give it another try.
doesn't seem to work on mine either, just increases the volume. when am I supposed to press the button?
while in the music player with the song selection on the screen long press the volume up key. doesnt work from home screen/lock screen.
works on mine with stock firmware jf3, using launcher pro. not that it should make any difference..
I have a pair of Sony headphones that have a controller designed to work with an iPhone/iPod. The middle (play/pause/forward/backward/end call button) work just like the original Nexus one headset, but the volume controls don't work. Is there a possibility of making an app, modified Music.apk or driver that would enable this volume control, or does one already exist? I've searched these forums, Google's forums and some other forums and found nothing.
There's an app called RemoteVol that allows you to adjust volume by long pressing on the previous track and next track buttons. It was designed for the default N1 headset, though I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work with third party headsets.
I'm guessing that HTC didn't think to include volume controls in the headset design, perhaps because there's already the volume rocker on the side of the phone.

I tried that, the download link was dead and it wasn't on the market.

works well with my htc headset
I'd like to point out that the Nexus One headphones don't control volume.
Continuing on, as you said, the volume buttons do nothing (on other pair remotes I have)
Remote Vol doesn't work in this case- I'm using Sony headphones using the Apple button control design.
I guess your only option then is to use the stock headset that came with the phone, or just use the volume rocker.
If you or someone you know is handy with a soldering iron, you can perform a simple mod to the stock headset so that you can plug in third party headphones. You just have to cut off the stock ear buds above the remote, then solder the wires into a 3.5mm audio jack.
Does an inline remote that will work on the Defy exist for music playback ( play/pause, Volume up/Down, Skip forward/Back )?
Ill interested in that too. Thats only of a few things that i miss from my iphone 4

I've searched Motorola's site(s) and there's no mentions of such a thing (headphones with more than one button). You might achieve something similar with PowerAmp and multiple button presses.

PowerAmp is the only way im afraid, by default the defy opens some voice search menu when using in line controls, and power amp is the only music player with those options.
Try this app: Headset Controller.
It configures your clicks on the remote button. So that you can play/skip/go back/increase volume even if you have only one button on your headset remote.

Not true. Winamp does that too, and MortPlayer, which i use for Audio books, has an option to respond to headset button(s). And there are probably other apps, so there is no problem at all.

you can either uninstall the voicedailer or use antTek app manager to freeze that app
thanks guys for answer
If i want to sync my itune library to Defy and use earphone with control buttons like my ipod. What sofware actually should I get (to receive my itune lib and can play with earphone's control buttons)
Thank you!!!
4 line in Defy earphone:
L,R,MIC,GND
L,R means left and right side output of earphone.
MIC means mic signal input to defy.
funtion key on earphone usually use MIC signal.
Connect mic signal into an ADC,mic signal has a pull-up resistance,about 2.2K.
Different key use different pulldown resistance with different value.
So that the onchip ADC can measure different voltage.
Then the system knows which key is pressed.
I think the key point of this function is whether Moto Hardware engineer connect the mic signal to ADC.
Sorry for my English
This is what I've done.
Ive bought this one and works fine with any headphones:

3 pounds well spent.
Yeah, basically the same thing that I did, but it looks a little better.
Does the button work?
PS: I wonder if I could find that thing some where else (like amazon.de).
