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?
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.
When I click on the middle button (play/pause) of a 3-button headset it always pulls up the phone call log. How do I cause it to play/pause the active music app? I tried using "Headset Button Controller" and assigned the specific music app to the middle button, but that didn't change the behavior.
Hi folks,
I noticed that on both the original Huawei headset as well as a JBL headset (both wired) the respective remote control on the headsets stops responding after some time or a various number of clicks when listening to the music.
The music continues to run normally on the headphones and can also be skipped and paused via the app but not over the button on the cable. The Google Assistant will also no longer pop up when the button is pressed for a longer time.
When I reboot the phone without touching anything on the cable or pull it out and reinsert, the remote works again normally ...
I've already performed a hard-reset with a complete new installation which did not change anything about the behavior described above.
I'm a little bit concerned that it's a defective hardware....
But this should be a software problem if a simple reboot fixes that problem???
I have Bluetooth headphones, which use a single button press to for pause/play. Unfortunately these buttons trigger quite easily on their own and there doesn't seem to be an app from the vendor to change the button mapping.
Is there a way on the Android side to disable those media controls?
