Hi guys
I got my HD a week ago and I am really satisfied with it!
The only thing that I am wondering is, how I can switch track while I am listening to the music with earphones. Due I dont want to pull out my phone every time I want to skip a track I am wondering how you guys do that? I mean hardware keys dont work (cos the up/down volume keys are already for the volume and the others are locked).
Are there wired earphones for the HD (attached on the 3.5mm jack) which allow to switch tracks?
Is it only possible to switch tracks with A2DP earphones over BT?
Hope you get my question
Thanks

Haven't got my HD yet, but I can switch tracks using BT headset over A2DP on my Trinity running Windows Mob 6.1, so I would assume the same will happen on the HD.
Thanks for the reply. Good news
So there is "only" a unwired solution am I right? Do wired earphones with the same functionality not exist right now attached to the 3.5mm jack?

Don't forget, I haven't got my HD yet, so am only guessing.
Don't know if they exist yet, but I would imagine they will. Anyone got the old SPV C500 (I think) miniusb phones with the vol/track change buttons that can try it out?

About to get an HD tomorrow, but my solution is going to be to set the volume up/down as next/previous track and set the volume from the HD, since i've found out that I change tracks way more often than volume level
You could get an inline remote control? I have one on my diamond

This interest me. I would also like to keep the device in my pocket without having to take it out to change track and alter volume.
Can you provide a link to this product that you would recommend? Thank mate!

On your Trinity, can you use the BT to control, while at the same time using a wired headset?

If you use Mortplayer you can assign the hardware buttons to whatever controls you want.
AE button plus maps the keys to your liking.

Maybe even short press up/down for next/previous and long press for vol up/down.

Would love to try this out, but I still don't have my HD yet.
Can someone try and and confirm that it can be done?
This would remove most of my unhappiness for not having the D-pad.

Hi
tryed out mortplayer! Nice program. The only thing that worries me is, that there are no 800x480 skin out there. so everything is only in 640x480. Do you know how to edit the *.mpz files to fit the screen?
Hi,
When using the youtube app the volume rocker acts as rewind/fast forward and doesnt change the volume. This is really annoying. Is there any way to change this as I dont want to go into a youtube video, assess the volume of the vid, come out of it and then set the handset volume accordingly.
Secondly, is there a way to enable the notification LED to blink when email is received to the handset? Looked in settings but the option to enable it is greyed out...
Seconded on the YouTube thing. What were they thinking? Any tips?
Indeed.... can't really tell you how much I didnt enjoy loading up a gaga video only to have my ears DESTROYED by beyonce's wailing as she was in the song too
I had the first problem for a while too, here's how I fixed it:
-Download, install and start AEButton
-Disable the volume rocker buttons
-Re-enable them
-AEButton will now tell you that it'll restart the device, let it do so
-Fixed
I don't have HD2 yet, but the HTC volume control should have a custom setting for the Youtube app in order for it to work properly. On other HTC devices, it's under HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\InhouseAPClass\YouTube and should be HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\InhouseEnable2ndUI\HTCYOUTUBE. Do you guys have these keys? If not, you can try to create them and value under them, ClassName=HTCYOUTUBE and Enable2ndOverlay=0 respectively. Also, you could try to go to HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\3rdPartyAPClass, create a key there (name it anything, could be YouTube), and ClassName=HTCYOUTUBE under it. The latter hack allows to have the youtube-style volume control in any application (I use it for CorePlayer, for example).
Hope this will work...
Sigh, just found out that when playing a song under the music tab - and you use the volume rocker, surprise surprise it doesnt actually control the volume at all! It controls the track listings.
Bah! This is a STUPID idea, a shame really!!
WHAT??? Volume rocker doesn't control volume during playback? And how are we supposed to do it?
Correct. Unless it's just mine, but I doubt it?
How to control volume you ask? Well that's simple.
You come OUT of the music application and then adjust the volume, and then go back INTO the application..... Logical.
That's a damn stupid design decision. Beside the inconvenience, music player doesn't need to have the same volume level as the rest of the phone! On my HD I have maximum volume for system/ringer, whereas my music player is set to like 20%. When I plug the headphones in and start it, it's set automatically to this level - otherwise I'd be deaf by now.
And does this happen both with the headset plugged in and without it? Again, on Touch HD you can adjust volume even when the device is turned off while music is playing.
So could anyone check the registry keys I mentioned earlier? Hopefully, it's just a missing setting...
Just read my post again on how to fix it, and no, it's not a design decision, it used to just control the volume for me, it only started controlling playback once I used the mediacontrols on the headset.

Volume Rocker
The Volume rocker works perfectly for me in both YouTube & Music player.
volume keys work for volume in both youtube and music for me..
is there anything you've installed that could interfere?
Hi Fards, great to see you in this thread. You were a valuable asset at ironing out bugs & probs when I was using Itjes Xperia ROM's. I'm sure you will be here too.

Now that just makes it a whole lot worse. I had nothing installed when I tested YouTube originally. Volume controls control cue/reverse. Does that mean unit defective?

Maybe different rom?
Lack of attention to details and throughness so often causes user dissatisfaction.

Possibly. Though its a stock rom sim-free unit. Even if its just a software bug or a rom issue, average Joe (or Josephine) shouldn't have to go hacking the registry, or what not, to fix it. Imagine trying to explain that convoluted series of (potentially disastrous) steps just to make your bloody volume button WORK...
Different roms should not justify this oddity.

Indeed, it would appear it is a problem with the headset, damn bizarre.
This is what happened with me anyway...
Listened to music with the headset in and then the volume controls control the track playback, not the volume, whilst you are IN the application. As soon as you come out then yea that's fine it controls the volume again.
When you disconnect the headset, the settings don't seem to revert and once you go back into the music application, the volume rocker still controls the damn playback not the volume......
.... actually i don't know. From using my headset yesterday I've just tried adjusting volume in the music app now this morning and the volume rocker isnt doing ANYTHING when in the music application....

Resetting seems to solve the problem, don't know when the problem will re-occur though. To be honest, I don't know how to alter registries and things like that!
oh this is ridiculous there HAS to be a way to fix this.. i dont ever want these to do anything OTHER than volume.
OR have a volume control on the inline
at the moment i have skip controls on the headphones AND skip controls on the side of the phone!
I have a 3 button headset that I was told was from a s3. It will open google now with a long press and play pause with the lower most button. the volume buttons dont work, what are you guys using to make yours work?
Thanks

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 got another question that might be interesting to ask.
So today i got my denon urban raver ah-d401 which has some controlls to pause play answer calls, change volume and all that but it doesnt work.
Only thing that works is the "menu" button to pause and play music. is it possible to make tha volume controlles work ? Its actually made for iDevices but there must be a solution for this?
Hello.
I usually only get cheap earphones because I tend to lost them everywhere I go. I usually get one with play/pause and vol up/down button, the Samsung knock-off one. I used this certain pair with my Yotaphone, but the buttons didn't seem working, as well as the speaker in the side with button. As I thought it's broken, I didn't really think about it. After I used the same pair with my old Samsung phone, apparently the buttons worked fine. So basically the buttons aren't compatible with Yotaphone 2? Do anyone encounter the same problem? Any cheap brand that's worked? (I don't want anything too expensive if I can choose cheaper ones)
Thank you.
apart from the yotaphone´s ones, the xiaomi piston dazzle earphones that I have work perfect, but you only have one button... pause / unpause or open google now with long press. And you can find them for only 5€

Hello, thanks for the reply. I guess if yours're working, I guess Xiaomi ones should be fine. Thank you thank you, will get a pair next time.
