[solved] decoding headphone command button on XPERIA - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38595896&postcount=318
After updating to XperimenT V2.0 (X.489), I noticed that my headset command button changed behavior. It used to pause and play tracks and a long press would skip to the next track. Now it appears to be mapped to just raising the volume.
Has anyone else had this problem? I don't think it's the headset it worked fine in ICS.
Edit:
Apparently it is the headset? Even though it worked fine in ics, the other two wired headsets I tried work fine.

Music Stops when power button pressed?

Anyone have any info on this?
My old Orbit2 used to continue to play music through HTC Audio Player as well as Windows Media Player however now if I tap the power button to put device into sleep mode the music pauses.
Anyone have any suggestions/fixes for this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Not sure of Orbit as I do not own one.
But all the WinMo device I have are behaving the way you describe in TD2.
There is apps inside or 3rd party which you can just switch the display off (not the power off), So the device is not off but the display off can save you a lot of battery.
Yeah, I got an app touchlock pro that turns the display off.
Just a bit annoying that I had the problem on the orbit 1, was fixed on the orbit 2 and now the problem is back on the topaz.
Still its a minor thing I suppose - Rest of the functionality seems great so far
Just a little update on this if anyone was interested.
Upon further experimentation I have discovered that i using my bluetooth headset for music playback i can now lock the phone by holding down the end call key and then press the power button to turn the display off whilst maintaing music playback.
Not sure if this works when using a wired headset but it did not seem to work just playing out of the speaker minus the headset.
My D2 continues to play music with the screen off using both coreplayer and windows media player.
EDIT: I thought I would double check - strange, today it stops the music! I know for a fact the other night I was listening to music and the screen was (almost) definitely off. I will investigate further.
EDIT2: I thought further and I know it was playing music with the screen off. I know this because I was happy that the volume buttons still worked.
I just did some checking.
When the headphones are plugged in the music continues playing when you turn off the screen and the volume buttons continue to adjust the volume.
Without the headphones plugged in the music stops when you turn off the screen.
Thanks for that, not actually used the wired headset before but what you have said is correct. it is a shame the same method for bluetooth stereo wasnt implemented or perhaps its just my bluetooth headset. looks like might have to get the wired headset out for a bit.
Hey, is there a way to skip songs with the headset we got?
i never noticed this until today.... how annoying, i just finished loading up my new microSD.
If anyone has a fix for this, please post
Thanks!
Mine appears to be fixed now when using my bluetooth headset or the wired headset But still stops if playing through the phone speaker.
I use a Jabra BT8010 bluetooth headset, and the music continues to play after pressing the power button. The music is shut off if playing through the phones speaker....this is the same as my previous phone (htc TYTN II)

[HELP] Headset button not working

For quite a while my headset button hasn't been working. I thought that maybe it was broken so I bought a new one - a-Jays One+ but unfortunately it doesn't work either (the a-Jays Headset control doesn't register button presses).
Surprisingly my sister's HTC headset works just fine. So my question is where could the problem be located if anyone had seen similar malfunction.
I'm running CM7 Temasek's KANG 95 with newest EtANa kernel (no OC).
Even I have the same problem...
I am running CM9 with Spica's RC-1R
Previously it was working fine in my Stock Rom and CM7.
I'm running CM7.2 (but it also worked when I ran CM7.1) and I believe I have the same kernel as well.
My headset buttons work fine so far with a number of different headsets, however ONLY when you have a headset monitoring app installed.
If you haven't already installed an app search the play store for an app called "Jays headset control". It is an app made specifically for the Jays headsets but will work with any headset with a button.
If you are already using it then I have no idea and I'd say you're **** outta luck.
Also it's worth noting that due to a limitation in the O2x's hardware only single button headsets work. Headsets with a "forward, back and play" button will all register as pressing the "play" button.
One problem I do however have is the headset app will catch all my button presses however if I press the button once to pause my music and then wait more than about 10seconds to press the button again while the phone is "asleep" it will not catch any of my clicks and restart my music. I will physically have to pull my phone out, unlock it and press play with the app. So if anyone knows anything about that I'd appreciate some insight as it never used to do it.
I used Jays headset control and it didn't help. That's the weirdest things because it doesn't register the a-Jays headset clicks but does register the HTC headset ones.

[Solved] Bluetooth Headset for HD+? My Sony MW600 isn't working.

Solved: I had muted the sound with a WidgetLocker slider. Apparently, unlike my phone this also mutes Bluetooth audio playback. I fixed it by installing the app Volume Control+ by Coffee Break Soft (I could have probably also solved it by using the slider in WidgetLocker but I hadn't noticed it at that point). Though I solved it before posting, I'm still posting here in case someone else has the same issue.
http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com/t5/NOOK-HD-HD-Support/Nook-HD-plus-Volume-muted/td-p/1456587?
I've had my HD+ for 4 days now. Tried to get a Bluetooth Headset working and it paired okay and shows as paired in the Nook's settings screen. It has a headphones icon with "Headset Profile". The notification bar shows the Bluetooth icon in blue.
I get no sound from my earbuds (tried two different ones since the MW600 has a headset jack). I tried adjusting the sound on the MW600 and the Nook using its volume buttons.
One clue is the Bluetooth symbol on the volume control shows a strikeout '/' (however this isn't clear because it overlaps the Bluetooth symbol on the bottom half).
I'm not sure if the Nook supports using the microphone for Skype, GrooveIP, etc. When I press the "phone" button on the MW600 I get no reaction from the Nook. On my phone, it goes to "Say a Command".
Has anybody had any luck with the MW600 or other bluetooth headsets?

[Q] Bluetooth problems with kit kat.

Hi. On AHRD 41.0. I got new jay bird blue tooth headphones for Xmas. When I start streaming music the leu tooth volume maxes out and the slider doesn't hold the lowered volume consistently. I have been reading that this is an issue. Are there any mods /tweaks out there that people use? I have been combing threads and not finding anything useful. Thanks.

I fell back to 4.3 ahrd 31.6 and all is well. Kit kat is the issue.
Upgraded from 4.3 to HTC One Developer Edition on 4.4 w/ Sense 5.5
Had bluetooth jumping issue. A reboot fixes the issue if the first app used is stock music app.
Basically
Connected a bluetooth headphones to phone.
Volume button on headphone and volume button on phone work fine with Stock Android Music Player.
When Pandora is launched, bluetooth volume jumps to maximum setting on device - very deafening!
Hitting volume down button on headset OR on phone, moves the volume lower, but it continually jumps up to highest setting. Therefore unable to reduce volume in Pandora. Using bluetooth volume via the onscreen slider works, but it is still too loud at the lowest setting. The same behavior on the lock screen or if phone is asleep. The same effect continues to occur while Pandora is on the "Now Playing" screen or if I leave Pandora on the "Now Playing" screen. Using stock music app now has the same issue.
If the Pandora app is set to go to the "main screen" which displays "stations" bluetooth control of the volume is returned to normal. Both the controls on the headphone and on the phone work properly whereas pandora volume, bluetooth volume and headphone volume is all in sync. The volume jumping around stops. Now if I leave the Pandora app running and got to home screen, lock screen or allow the phone to sleep. The bluetooth volume works fine and doesn't jump around.
Going back into "now playing screen" or leaving pandora in "now playing" screen causes issues.
If you don't have pandora, check what other apps you have that running that are using music output to headphone.
Sideloading Pandora 4.4 apk fixes issues. Sideloading 5.0 re introduces the issue.

Great. This is helpful. Thank you for your reply.

Audio playback skips when waking screen, using wired headphones

Hi!
I've been using a bluetooth headset and speakers since I got my XPX, but I recently started using a wired headset at work because the battery in the bluetooth one didn't last all day. I've noticed that whenever I wake the screen, either by double-tapping or using the power button, the playback skips forward by one or two seconds. This happens no matter what audio player I use (I've checked Spotify, Poweramp and Pocket Casts) and only when using a wired headset. Bluetooth and phone speakers are unaffected.
I haven't had the chance to try other headsets with this phone, but this headset didn't cause this to happen on my old phone (Z3C). Since it only happens when I wake the screen, I kind of doubt it's the headset anyway.
Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it?
Sorry to bump my old thread, but I 'd forgot I posted it earlier. I noticed the problem again today and was about to post about the problem again.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?
