I bought the remix mini , I like it except that the media buttons (play, pause, next track, previous track) on my k400 don't work. However volume buttons work. Is there anything I can do to make it work? Media controls work on all my mother android devices.
Thank you
its not just your keyboard, mine only work if I have chrome app open in the front.

Hi ya'll, i've been looking for a better solution for playing emulated games on my Xperia since playing with the DPad + 2-3 keyboard buttons isn't so efficient (oh and i've been trying all kinds of button combinations..!)
The only bluetooth gamepad i've found is this http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13760 - the BGP100 which from what i've read works great with the xperia, some says the pad is a bit uncomfortable but mostly it sounds all right.
What I wonder is if the phone can be used with it in landscape mode(as in, will it fit)? if not it's a no go for me, from all the pictures i've seen on it, all is in portrait...
If i press the buttons at the BGP100 with key repeat active (from personal-->buttons-->up/down control) will the BGP100 buttons repeat, as my KB/DPad buttons do? it's really annoying having them rapidly repeat making it almost unplayable both from the sound and from the lagg in creates, for now i've deactivated key repeats, but it would be nice having it on when i'm using BGP100
I just wish there was a WiiMote driver for Windows Mobile (like there is for S60v3) and i wouldn't have to "worry" about this at all ;/
Anyway, thanks in advance
So after putting this issue on the back burner for a while I'm bringing it back up.
For a long time I had both the headset controls and lockscreen controls for audio working fine on both the stock rom and CM 5-6. Using both the iPhone headset and the Skullcandy Full Metal Jackets with mic/single button control. All was working great with the hero music player, pandora, grooveshark and last.fm.
At some point (around release #142) of updating the CM 6 nightlies both controls stopped working.
Fast forward to now, I have been running ASOP rom running 2.3 and just the other day did another complete wipe and installed CM 7. Still with a complete wipe of the phone and re-installation of these roms I don't have any control of the audio apps either by the headset or the lockscreen controls.
I've tried apps like headset button controller and other sorts of audio players but none work.
Now another note, I just tried debug mode in 'headset button controller' and it's recognizing all my button presses. long click, double and tripple clicks.
So, there's something with the commands not getting to the player apps.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated, it's a major pain in the ass when working out or riding the bike to have to stop/unlock/go to app... just to switch a song.
Have you tried long-pressing the volume up or down buttons while the screen is off?

yeah, I have that option set in the CM settings but that just raises and lowers my volume.
To add some info to the issue, I've been trying some alternate music players to no avail. So I'm figuring the problem has something to do with the os not passing the input commands to the audio apps...

Well after another cclean install I stopped the Google auto restoration of apps and started adding my apps back manually and found the problem to be with stitched radio. I'm going to send a message to the dev so he can fix the problem.

Hello, i have a question about one modification... i would like to have volume controls rempaped to following:
Volume up (short press): Volume up
Volume down (short press): Volume down
Volume up (long press): Next song in playlist (HTC Sense player)
Volume down (long press): Previous song in playlist (HTC Sense player)
I imagine there are some applications out there that can handle the short-press and long-press mapping, but the mapping to HTC Sense player might be really really tricky. Pressing up key (on joystick) jumps to next song, pressing down to previous song, but it works only when media player tab is selected... any other tab uses joystick for other purposes. any suggestions for realization are welcome
I would also appreciate mapping shallow press and release of camera button to play/pause, while shallow press followed by deep press would result in launch of camera (as was intended by sony) but that's not too important as i can simply mute the radio player.
The thing is i use this phone as a MP3 player for my car radio, it is far more intuitive to use hardware buttons instead of touchscreen, not to mention safety... I'm used to this keymapping from good old K750i, unfortunately for xperia, other OS, other habbit.
I use my I pod for music mainly cause of the physical buttons that allow me to track skip whilst the device is in my pocket tho am interested to see if this would be possible with the note by using the remote control, like is there an app that would make the music player recognise a double click on the volume remote in the included headphones as a skip, or is there a non blue tooth remote available that would do this, I haven't found any

Poweramp does that. You can configure in the settings how the app responds to the headset buttons, e.g. double press or tripple press to skip to the next track.

That's excellent thanks, I'll check it out now
One thing I like about Chromecasts is that the major apps that first came out, Google music, Avia, etc., have a volume slider. My Roku 3 does not have that option even though there are volume + and - buttons on the remote, which works only for the headphones.
So why does a volume control on an app even matter? Well, one of my sound systems has a tendency to be either too loud or too soft - in other words, the sound increment is too large. Another system is hooked to a 3 piece PC speakers set. There's no remote so manually walking up to turn up and down the volume --whenever a song is too loud and the next is too soft -- is a hassle. Thus, having the volume control on the app is great!
However, I see that not all Chromecast apps have a volume slider, which kind of makes it incomplete -- at least to me. The apps I use the most for streaming are Avia, which has volume slider on the chromecast icon; BubbleUPNP which has a slider but only if you go into options/Play Now/ enable volume slider - it works great; and Plex, the volume is located in settings icon when playing movies, but there is no slider to be found when playing music.

All the Chromecast-enabled apps I've used so far have obeyed the hardware volume keys while casting.

It didn't occur to me to test the physical volume buttons on the casting device to see if that work. I usually use the app's onscreen volume slider, at least with the apps that have it. I went back to test the apps that lack an onscreen volume slider and so far these apps do allow volume control via the physical volume buttons on the device. This should solve the problem, unless for some reason the buttons don't respond. :angel: Thanks for the tip!
Wow! Perhaps somebody from Google heard my calls! Chromecasts finally remembers volume settings across apps. I've tested it and it works great.

"That one deals with the volume level. Google mentioned how this Chromecast update brings a fix so the audio volume level will remain the same across sessions. Basically, this means you shouldn't have to worry about flipping to the Chromecast to be greeted with a super high (or super low) volume."
