Hi,
I was wondering if there's a way to get S-Voice to launch when holding down the middle button on earphones like Siri does on the iPhone? The Note recognises the middle button on my earphones and I use it to skip tracks etc, it would just be pretty handy to have S-Voice functionality.
Thanks

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.
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..
Hey people.
There are many good quality earphones built for phones on the market at the moment and the ones that have controls in addition to a microphone are more often than not tailored for Apple products.
I purchased one and it has three buttons. Volume up/down and a play /pause button which doubles up as a call answer/end button. The play/pause button works, but doesn't answer/end calls, and the volume up/down buttons don't work either.
Is there an app that reads the signals sent from the remote and translates them to android-capable commands?
Also, the play/pause button also "next track" when double pressed, and "rev track" when held down; is there an app that translates these commands to android-capable commands?
Thanks.
Hey Guys,
I have a quick question about headset button controls.
Back in 4.2 I was able to start and stop music with a single click of the button, skip tracks by double clicking, and voice search with a hold of the button. All with the screen off.
After going to 4.2.2 I seem to have lost all functionality except for the single click pause/play.
I thought maybe it was a stock android thing, so I tried a few roms and still, nothing. My next thought was it was a hardware thing, so I tried the same test on my Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.2 and still... nothing (although when the screen is on all the functionality is there)
Is this a known bug? I really want my functionality back as it's very helpful when I bike, I've tried apps like jays headset or whatever and they are just cumbersome and lame, so I'm curious if there's a way to bring this back?
I'm running the latest PA (4.2.2 obviously) with single button skullcandy earphones and the Jays headset control app and I can do a double tap to skip song and triple tap to go back as well as the standard play/pause functionality so I'd recommend reinstalling the Jays app and messing around with some of the settings to try to get it to work. One thing I do know (and it's absolutely ridiculous) is that you can no longer press and hold to perform any functions which just seems quite odd to me.
Quick question. I still use the earbuds that came with my galaxy nexus. They have a rocker button that historically (100% custom rom across multiple devices) has always just performed a pause/play function in all music apps. Didn't matter which way you pressed the rocker.. Always paused or unpaused.
On my new motox pure edition, this button invokes "OK Google" voice input. Any way I can easily map this to the pause/play function instead?
