Is there any program to reduce the in call ear piece volume. I have to keep the phone at least 20 cm away from my ear during the call even the volume is minimized.
There is a bug report about this problem. I was just wondering does anybody know any program or solution to this problem, because there is nothing happening about the official bug report.
uhmmm, turn the volume down ??
i have the same problem. with CMs rom the in call volume dont seem to work
Same here with CyanogenMod...

Hello all... looking for development ideas / possible solutions for music skip function while phone it turned off in my pocket.
Please read to understand what I'm thinking ;-)
I'm looking for anyone with suggestions to a small problem of mine...
I recently upgraded? to the Nexus S from the Nexus One. My problem is that I use the phone a lot for Music and I was using a custom 2.3.4 ROM that implemented track ball music skip functions on the Nexus One and I really miss them on the Nexus S a lot !
I have the CyanogenMod volume control music skip implemented but I find that when the phone is in my pocket and I try and find the volume controls, I end up pressing the power button accidentally on the opposite side at the same time thus turning on the screen and canceling the music skip functions. I end up fighting with my Nexus S to skip the the next music track or I just end up changing the music volume instead.
--------------
I would like to implement a Tap to Skip function... so when the phone is off and in my pocket I can just tap it two or three times to skip the track.
My plan was to implement the skip function in the PhoneWindowManager and use OnGestureListener for taps...but I guess this is not going to work when the screen is off ??? so the other option is using the Accelerometer to detect the taps but I don't have much of a clue how to do that.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you
Oxygen Rom can skip to next track when holding vol up button and display turned off.

Get some headphones with track skip buttons/functionality.

Thats an idea but I think a tapp to skip is a lot more universal and convient. Plus I don't think I've ever seen good headphones with this button... and I'm not sure the functionality even exist in Android?
Does anyone even know if it's possible to get GestureDetector.OnDoubleTapListener to detect tapps when the screen is off... I assume no as the touch-sensor will also be powered down.
So I'm looking for ideas to use the accelerometer to detect tapping... I will write some code tonight and see if there is any way within my skill set to do this.

It does exist, although not all head phones work with it and its kinda finicky. But, hey, its easier than writing code

Part of your problem seems to be mixing up the volume buttons and power button. I find this problem will probably lessen as you get more and more used to the phone. This is a problem I never have due to the difference in feel of the screen and the back of the phone I always know where the volume and power keys are.
I've found the CM volume key controls to be much too slow as they only allow for long press track changing. May I suggest you give PlayerPro a go? PlayerPro is the only music app I've found that allows for lockscreen music controls allowing you to reverse the key taps so that a short press of the volume keys allow for track changing. Albeit, this means that the screen must be turned on for the track skip via volume buttons to work, I personally love this interaction(intended or not). If I simply want to change my volume, I leave my screen off and tap the volume keys. If I'm trying to track change, I simply tap the power button, and then use the volume keys to switch tracks. I then press the power button once more to turn the screen off again.
May seem a bit complicated at first, but I can't imagine listening to music without this function now, it's just too useful. Don't know if that will work for you, but maybe give it a try. For someone like me who shuffles an entire library, often skipping tracks, skipping tracks via long press of volume buttons is WAY too slow. The short press skip track function of PlayerPro is perfect for me though. Maybe it'll work out for you too.

Did you ever tried this : Menu/cyanogen settings/lock screen/delay and timeout/screen timeout delay = 30m screen turned off delay = 30m
you screen should be off but lockscreen doesn't
it may help.
I used to skip track by double tapping the mic button on headphones.. but that was using my vibrant on touch wiz. Don't know if it works on nexus rom

There used to be an app on the market, shake to skip, not sure if it is still there?

The stock HTC headset works reasonably well. Not the loudest, though. Also not very comfortable.
So I guess, it's not really a 'good' headset.
This is a great idea to implement, i can't find any decent android headphones so this would be the next best thing

Iphone earphones work the same, there's almost certainly some decent iPhone ones on the market.

The speakers are way too loud even on lowest volume when I am alone in my room. I don't need the speaker to be blasting at me when im playing Angry Birds or something. Anything I can do about that?
Update: Trying out an app called Fine Volume Control 2. It was the only thing I could find that did what I want, unfortunately, it seems extremely inconsistent and buggy.
Update 2: Uninstalled Fine Volume Control 2, wayyy too inconsistent and buggy. Still looking for any suggestions.

try volume control apps, like volume control +
Having the same problem. Feels a bit loud at the lowest volume

I cant guarantee this works as I am STILL waiting for my HTC One to arrive here in Australia but when I had my aweful Galaxy Nexus I used a app called Volume+ to turn the volume up as it was so low you couldn't hear it ring. I remember the app also allowed you to turn the volume down. Worth a try.
Volume+ doesn't work for JB so useless for me.
Volume Control+ seems to be just an app with all the volume control sliders in one place which is useless.
There's a update to fix the volume to make it lower don't know if it's out yet it is if you got a custom rom

Ugh... I wished they'd release their fixes already. There is this volume thing and also the 3 dot menu thing.
Bump. Still looking for a solution.
I remember reading about the Music Volume EQ app (on, I believe, Phandroid?) and people said they had some luck with messing with the equalizer settings on this app to turn the volume down for the One. Haven't tried it for myself though.
Yes, if you use the Music Volume EQ app and turn all the equalizer settings down to -15 and the volume down to 1, the speakers are much more quiet!
Yep, using Music Volume EQ for now. Still not as good as having a integrated option, but can live with it for now.
They should of made a slider volume instead of in steps!
Hey,
I have been using my B&W P5's with 3 button control and mic with my Nexus 4 quite happily until i upgraded to the Z3c, however, now the volume controls don't work and the middle button only raises the volume, does anyone know if its possible to fix this, or even to reconfigure the middle button to skip instead of just raise the volume?
I don't hold out much hope in getting the volume controls to work. I've tried a couple of apps (Headset Button Controller) that claim to do this but no luck so far.
I have a similar issue. I've been using a Samsung headset similar to the one that comes with the Galaxy S4, with a three button configuration. The volume buttons actually work, but the play/pause button only raises the volume like with yours.
I have never managed to get volume control working with any android phone I've ever had. Really sad and quite stupid if you ask me. Some headphones that have apps obviously allow it, but using those third party apps has never worked for me.

Will listen in here, since I to have a three button headset that doesn't work. And the one I have from LG G2 turns up the volume with the middle button as well. And one tried the Sony headset on the Play Store?

All my headphones with 3-button controls that are made for Android work as expected so far with the Z3C - with the HTC RC E240 giving the best quality to price ratio.
You can use the Sony Smart Key app to re-map the middle button. If all three buttons actually register presses in apps like JAYS Headset Control or Headset Button Controller, you should be able to re-map the volume keys too with those apps.
Of course no 'Made for iPhone' branded ones will typically work, as the volume controls feature patented Apple tech and custom wiring. Presses of the volume buttons will just not register at all, and can't therefore be re-mapped.
Any Bluetooth headset controls should work fine with everything.
I have the exact same headphones as you. I'm super disappointed the controls don't work. I tested and the microphone works but controls are the same as yours.

Hey thanks for the suggestion, i just tried the sony smart key app without any luck, by setting all the button options to do the same thing, lower the volume, i still wasnt sble to stop my P5's middle key from only raising the volume
I'd love to see a way to use 3 button headsets with this device! Will keep checking this
I have a 3-button headset that works perfectly with the Z3C, with Pause / Skip Title, receive / end calls and working volume buttons.

These look quite interesting, do you need to use any other software or do they just "work" with the Sony Walkman player?
Also how do the buttons map to the functions? Does the middle button do all of the Pause / Skip Title, receive / end call functions whilst the buttons that look to have track skips icons actually do volume instead?

It's exactly like that
This headset works out of the box, doesn't need any 3rd party app.

For anyone in the UK, I can confirm that the HTC RC E242's sold by Amazon UK themselves (they show as enhanced in the extra detail towards the bottom of the page) have track skip buttons that actually control the phone's volume.
Just wanted to say thx received my HTC e242 headset today and it works great. It's dazzling how these manufacturers don't use the same standard for such things...
Xiaomi Piston 2 controls working fine with walkman/poweramp :good:

I actually prefer the HTC RC E240 ones, since they don't have the HTC logo on them. Sound quality & isolation is indeed very impressive for the price. These are the ones I keep returning to for daily use ...

Hi, just wondering if the E240 works fine out of the box as well. Or there was some tweaks for the updated E242 to let them work?

No tweaks, they've always just worked OOB.
Alternative
Might not be the perfect solution but it's an alternative . Since I was really missing the three button control I decided to try it this way.
There are small bluetooth controls that Sony's brought out that do the job and depending on wich one you might get it has even more functionalities.
I got the SBH20 ( just google it ) for 20€ in Germany and am now able to use whatever headphones I want - Best solution for me seeing as I was very pleased with the Sennheiser headphones I had and didn't really want to change.
Thought I'd share it - maybe it'd suit you to
Hi guys I'm using the "Nocs NS500 ALUMINUM (ANDROID)", the website of Nocs says: "Sony Xperia Z1/Z2/Z3 - No support for 3-button remotes with 4 poles." It's possible to change vol. and sometimes if i fast push the middle button it skips to the next title. At my old HTC One X the right and left buttons changed the title and the middle one pause/play.
Im using PowerAmp and tried Sony Smartkey but it didn't worked. Is there any solution that the remote will work like on HTC or do u know other tools to try out?
Edit: Or is there a way to turn of the remote?
i am using sony mh1 with ec250 adapter it works fine
Hello!
I've recently got myself the OnePlus 3T, which I'm pretty satisfied with.
After some time I noticed that my 3-Button Earphones don't work like they used to. I can still play/stop and lower/raise the volume with the different Buttons, but I'm not able to skip a song when holding the + button for a longer time (Same with the - Button)
I've searched through pretty much the whole settings and couldn't find anything.
Before the 3T I had the OnePlus One with CyanogenMod. Maybe this feature just isn't available in OxygenOS?
Anyone have an idea on how to fix or implement this feature?

Mine is working as expected.
One pres start/stop: pause or play,
Double pres: Next song,
Triple pres: Previous song,
+ Volume up,
- Volume down.
I am using PowerAmp app for playing music.

They are working correctly, in stock android you need to press the play/stop button twice to get to the next song, and three times for the previous song. If you have xposed and gravitybox, you can have that volume key long pressing feature too.

Those were both working. Seems like this was something specifically with either CM or the OnePlus One. I'll take a look at GravityBox as soon as Xposed releases for Android Nougat.
Thanks for the help!
