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

I was able to solve this with an Xposed mod. The HeadsetMod.apk in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423160 works (Tested on ARHD 13.3)

Google Play Music - No Audio after Track change

So Google Play Music is one of my favorite android apps, i use it daily and i never really had many issues with it until i got note 3.
Like usual i just plug in my headphones and start listing to music. the problem is that sometimes after 1 song sometimes after 2, the next song is playing but there is no audio. I try to switch tracks and same thing.
Couldn't figure out what it was, i removed the headphones and plugged them back in and the audio started playing again. Tried skipping to the next song, and no audio again.
Does anyone have the same issue or knows how to fix it? I've updated the app to the latest version but i still have that issue. I tried removing the updates and same thing. Can't remove the app completely since the note is not rooted and i am not planning on rooting it just yet since the security in Knox gets triggered and voids the warranty.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

Figured it out, it was the built in EQ. Once disabled , everything worked. Now i have to find an aftermarket eq that supports google music

I now presume you simply disabled the eq in the Google Play Music app. Here is a complete solution to fix the EQ bug.
So i did some searching on google specifically for the equalizer, and this issue is a problem across many galaxy devices. I do not have the link but basically the stock equalizer needs to be disabled.
0. Get the replacement equalizer for Google Music called "equalizer" (only equalizer)
Disable Stock Equalizer:
1. Go to settings
2. Go to device
3. go to sounds
4. go to music effects
5. Select "Equalizer" instead of "Music FX"

I have been using viper4android on my Note 3. I had been using volume+ before I got my N3.
Viper is VERY good and has a tonne of settings.
The only bad thing is that it has little hiccups where the music fades out for a moment and then comes back. I don't like the hiccups, but still worth using to me.
Oops, meant to say I mostly use Google Play Music. It also works with Pandora and most everything else I have tried with viper.

I had this problem (stock, no root) and the equalizer was not turned on. The ATT OTA seems to have fixed my audio issues.

Did you install it from the play store or from this xda thread? If the latter, I presume you edited your build.prop? just checking.

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?

Doesn't Seem To Work

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.

I do think you have to start it on the phone first, then it's good from there.

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.

Good Audio App? Volume Control?

Moto X Dev Ed. I hate the G**gle Player app. I don't want them knowing what I'm listening to. (How does it frickin' bypass Android Firewall to get album covers?!) And it has no volume control through headphones.
I tried Phonon, but it doesn't allow you to choose a folder to play, which is a vital function for me.
Walkman crashes on this phone, at least this Tit-restored one I have, and it's not in the Play store.
Anyone recommend an audio app which allows you to coose a folder of music to play?
Is there a reason my volume buttons have no effect on the level in headphones? (it's too quiet)

Have you tried PowerAmp? There are free and pay versions.

I don't think volume control headphones work with android phones.. at least they never have in my experience (unless maybe they're specially made for it) Only pause/play button works. I don't think its an app issue, its android itself I believe.
As far as players I use a simple less known app called Maple which lets you play from folders and has some cool features like pitch and speed adjustment, and its free.

I have used PowerAmp in free version. Happy feel to using it..

PowerAmp expires after two weeks.
Maple is OK, although I'm still trying to figure out how to play a directory and switch directories.
Also, these are not volume-adjust headphones. They are just regular Koss headphones, but the phone's volume control doesn't have any influence over the volume in them. Controls do work with the phone speaker.

JetAudio. I like it on my Windows machines, and I think I'm going to on KK too. I think it'll play a directory since it plays 'albums' in a directory.

Metafy doesnt show track after spotify update :(

Hello.
I've been using an app in my androidphone "Metafy" that shows track and artist on my pebble when using spotify. Since the latest update of Spotify this does not work any more. Any one have the same problem?

Found an alternative app for sending Spotify info to the Pebble music controller that seems to work.
(BTW I'm using galaxy s3 and liquid smooth ROM 4.4.2).

why don't you share what you found as an alternative?

Alternative app
I use Media Utilities. It works with Spotify and Podcast (and possibly more).
The disadvantage is, that it needs notification access to read out the current track/podcast. Additionally the user interface is a little odd and buggy.
But it works and nothing bad has happened yet.
...yay, can't post links as a newbie, but I bet you can find it yourself in the Play store ( com.batescorp.notificationmediacontrols.alpha )

Sorry I forgot to put that in there. It was not a good solution anyways it was a strange app that constantly increased the volume.
Tried Media Utilities as posted above and it works!
It does not show Album though.
In the app I added spotify, and then in settings under Application Integration i checked the marker next to Pebble Watch.

Use Music Boss to fix this, and you'll also gain the best watch app for Pebble as a bonus n
