[Q] Headset song forward,backward scrolling - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have following headset
Is it possible to make it fast forward/back song when prev/next buttons are held?
Any setting or specific player is able to achieve this?

Try using poweramp player from store..

Thanks for suggestion, but is there any more light weight alternative? I don't really need all those extra features.

Hmmm....
use player pro

Unfortunately PlayerPro does not allow to seek with headset controls, only with the ones on screen.

I got this one with GingerZaraki, It also only allows on screen hold seek, not on headset controls.
So currently only poweramp works this way

Sleep after X minutes when listening to music

Hi, Im using the touchflo integrated music player, its fine for my needs, it only lacks the function, where it turns off after lets say 30min. I listen to music while falling asleep...
I know gsplayer can do it...some other maybe also.
any trick is appreciated. I prefer a utility, not a different player. Thanks
I have the exact same problem. Are you also using S2U2 (slide to unlock app)? Because I first thought the problem might be there.
but how to make the earphones come out your head after 30mins... thats the real problem
@rumple: Yeah...I find myself in the morning with them around my neck
I dont care I just dont want that the phone plays the whole night.
I would suppose to try Mort Player. It has a sleep-function. You can set the time after that playback will stop. But its not as stylomatic as the original Diamond-player.

The original poster asked for an utility, not a different player.
I am in the exact same situation, I love the TouchFlo player and don't want to launch an other program and would totally like the sleep function.
It's fun because the FM radio has the feature but the TFPlayer does not.
I even tried to set the radio sleep timer and mute radio, but it doesnt stop the tf player...so it doesnt turn off
psshutxp has an option to reboot the device at a specific time... maybe this helps

That's what I use. Still no solution to damn near choking myself with the headphones by the time I wake up tho...

But does that also disables the sound to go off when the phone goes into sleep mode?
I use Mortscript to do this.
This script turns off the TF3D build in player after 60 minutes.
If interested, I can send you the script, you can download mortscript itself via here:

I would try it! Please share the script!
Thanks

[Q] note earphones

ok so i got the note. how do i configure earphones..how do i rewind etc using the single button provided? i listen to music all day at work so this is important
You can try out PowerAmp. The single button can be configured to pause at one push, next track with 2 pushes and previous track with 3 pushes I believe.
I found you can only rewind or forward using the stock music player

Well, in about 4 seconds with a Google search I found this discussion. In which they're talking about an app called beyondpod, which is configurable and let's you set what you're trying to set.
Search...imagine that.

Hello all,
I can't find a way to set a mp3 as ringtone in default music player.
Anyone know how?

Default music player doesn't allow this. Grab RingDroid from the Play Store.

you could put the mp3 in a "Ringtones" folder, then pick the file from sound in settings.
With ringdroid i can only set it as a notification,can't use it as ringtone.
And tried to copy the file to the Music folder and media/audio folder but i can't see it in my settings
Default music player does let you set the ring tone-
Just "long press" on the track and the option appears:

Is the Smartwatch any good?
Good question, I won my smart watch in a phones4u comp, I thinks it's great but not sure I would feel that way if I paid full Price.
If you set the clock display to always on the battery won't last a day. I have it set to come on when double tapping the screen. Not so handy if your struggling with the shopping!
Other than that it's pretty impressive, being able to quickly glance at notifications saves taking the phone out of your pocket constantly and mp3 control, whilst basic, is a nice touch.
It does however have a detrimental effect on your phones battery and keeps disconnecting from the Z (worked perfect on the S) maybe the next update will sort it.

Am I right in thinking it doesn't work as a hands-free kit?

It does not have a speaker so no good as a hands free, You can answer and reject calls but only any real use if your use a blue tooth headset- or as I do a blue tooth car stereo.

Wow my bad. Never even saw that option in the long press menu, then again, I don't long press random things.

To set one of mp3s as a ringtone you don't need to download anything extra. Just go to the sound setting and on the top right hand side of the screen press the Music Symbol and then you'll have access to all your music on your pone.
Revert back to default ringtones folder
GO TO->Settings->Apps->all->Tap on THREE dots & reset apps preferences.
NOW GO TO-.SETTINGS->SOUND->UNDER RINGTONES&VIBRATIONS, TAP->PHONE RINGTONES->TAP SIM1/SIM2->U'LL FIND SOUND PICKER,FILE COMMANDER & SO;SELECT SOUND PICKER TO SELECT XPERIA'S PRELOADED RINGTONES,THAT'S IT!

Headset controls?

Hi guys,
Do you have an idea how to skip tracks from headset controls?
I have the Klipsch s4a and the Klipsch app and set by default the app is supposed to skip tracks on double click, but instead the redial feature is called.
This worked fine with my Nexus but for some reason is not with the HTC one.
Any idea how to make it work?

Are you running a cooked ROM or are you running the Stock ROM a present? odd question but any other headphones have this issue?

This also happens to me with the official HTC headset. Strange.
I have a question. I keep reading about volume controls and such with the official HTC earphones, but I do not have those volume control buttons! I just have one button which I believe is for like answering/rejecting/ending phone calls. So do different earphones ship with different variants or something? I have an unbranded and unlocked international HTC One.
I have the stock OS 4.1.2
Refer to my HTC headset thread for some help. You either have to buy the official HTC headset (HTC RC E240) to be able to skip tracks and raise/lower volume (it's a 3 button headset) or use apps that control the headset (they need to contain the HTC Redial Fix as well). Another method is to use Poweramp, without any third party apps, but have google now disabled
I use the Klipsch app which supposed to control the Klipsch headsets. I have tried the power amp, the same thing none of them are working (Google now is off) in all cases double click does a redial instead of skip track.

Raise headset button priority in PowerAmp and it should work.
Nope, still the same.
I've noticed it does both things, initiate the redial first then it skips the track.
For some reason the priority is to do a redial first. Not sure where and how to disable that.
@Galactus can you please post the link to your topic?
Had anyone managed to solve this issue and enable skip tracks?

I was checking another forum and I stumbled upon a thread regarding the same issue. It seems like a dead end, unfortunately, because no one seemed to figure it out.

Don't have my phone right now but found headset control app I think it's called in another thread here and worked for me and I ended up buying it for 2.99. Allows you to assign multiple taps for different functions and works well with the stock earbuds.

If you can update this thread with the application's name when you get your phone, that would be great. Thanks.

And works best with power amp.
I've made some time to test more the Headset Button control app and for me this is not working properly (I'm using Klipsch s4a headsets), os 4.1.2 stock + root with the default Music app.
And I have some issues with the skip commands (double click and 3 clicks)* as they don't seem to work.
I have tried* all combinations of slow or very slow from advanced.
I've enabled the debug mode and it seems like the double clicks are not recognised.
The single click is recognized which pauses the song.
But I've noticed something,* the double click is working only if I perform a pause first (single click)* then the double click is recognized.
If I do not pause this first then the double click is not recognised.
Is there a fix or a workaround for this?
My issue is related to default HTC music app only.
Is working fine with other apps like Google music player.
Disable HTC ONE redial functionality

Google Music Controls?

Any way to get the Gear to skip, play/pause Google music? Any one been able to figure it out?
I think it works just the same from what I've read.. I'll check once I get mine going tonight
Yes its working you need to put google music as default player.

This makes me happy :laugh:
While on the subject, when I use Bluetooth audio in the car, the samsung player automatically plays instead of google music. I have selected google music player as the default but the samsung player always starts to play. I am not able to deactivate the samsung player app. Is there another work around to not let it play at all?

That doesn't seem to work for me. Only way it controls it at all is if I start playing the music on the phone first, which is rather annoying. Am I doing something wrong?

Also works perfectly with BubbleUPNP.
I use my phone as the renderer and my tablet as my interface/playlist when driving and I can use my watch to skip/volume/etc.

yes, that is how it is working for me as well.
The best solution i have found is to freeze the stock samsung music app with something like titanium or rom toolbox. Granted you need to be rooted for this but it works perfect for me. I workout with a set of lg tones and control everything from my gear. I can confirm it also works to start music from the gear rather than opening google play music first.
