I noticed how on the Apple Iphones, there are these really nice shortcuts you can use with the button on your headphone to go forward and backward in music. I was wondering if there was some program that emulated the same kind of shortcuts. I found some headphones that claim they can do that with the iphone, but i would imagine it is a quality of the cellphone's program, not the headphones themselves.
So(to sum it up), is there some way to do it so when i press the headphone button twice, the song goes forward, and when i do it thrice, it goes backwards? Or if possible customize the buttons even more(so i can have some functions when i am calling and stuff)

would love to know more on this
Yes. PowerAmp supports this. Forward at least, unsure about going backwards.
As for a headset that supports this, I bought these after SIGNIFICANT research online (I'm an audiophile so I demand the best sound quality I can get) and am very happy with them. PERFECT sound quality with just a little EQ work from PowerAmp and the mic works for calls and to control the music player.

Most music players allow these shortcuts, even the stick music player. Just dig around the settings. I couldnt live without then, very very useful

Just like he said. Music players have their own settings as to what the "media button" can do. I believe you have the option to start and stop, or forward. Beyond that, I haven't been able to get anything else out of it.
I heard 2.2 was supposed to allow some more functionality but haven't seen much other than maybe assigning a different function for the media button. I use a pair from skullcandy.
They may say iphone but they are generally universal as to the connection just like you would find on different brands of mp3 players.
Anyone know exactly what I can use to get S-Voice or Google Now to open upon a long click of the headset/headphone button?
I am a recent Android user and came over from iPhone, one simple feature I loved about my iPhone 4 (with had basic voice controls but not Siri) was the ability to hold the headset button while biking and just say "play Nirvana" or "play album Nevermind" and it would go into the music player and play what I requested.
For some reason I haven't been able to replicate the same function with my S3. It works find if I am looking at the phone and press S-Voice or Google Now, but not when I have no access to the screen/screen lock.
Any ideas?
anyone?
Is anyone able to reliably use the voice controls in the music app? I swear it worked once for me, and I can't get it to work any more.
Voice control to take a picture in the camera and in S-Voice itself works fine.
It's driving me mad!
Hello all!
I hope that this is the right spot for this in the forums, I have a VERY frustrating problem since I updated to JB on my Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII. I tried to put it on the main Galaxy SIII page but no responses. Sorry for the double post.
Let's say I reboot my phone and get into the car. I can push the little microphone and dictate all of my text messages, use Google now and life is good. BUT if I were to then listen to Google Music Player, or an audiobook through the speakers in my car, I no longer have access of the Google voice recognition. I try to dictate a message but I don't see the OK TO TALK prompt. I can't use Google now because it gets stuck in Recognizing..I can't use any of the voice features of my phone.
BUT, if I turn off the Bluetooth, I can use the voice recognition features. Turn it on and they can't be used. If I uncheck the bluetooth audio media option, all works great, but as soon as I check it, The voice recognition features no longer work. Rebooting solves the problem, until I listen to Google Music Player
This is very frustrating because sometimes I do have to dictate my text messages while driving. I can't do this, or use Google Now while I am in my car. I really think it is the Bluetooth Media Audio, but I am unsure how to correct this.
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks
Mike
Hi,
I've got some bluetooth devices with playback controls (play/pause, FF, REW). I listen to podcasts in an app called Podkicker Pro. It's nice in that FF, REW will skip ahead or back within the same podcast rather than skipping tracks like a regular audio player, and remember my position.
The problem is the Apollo music player is the one to always receive commands from the bluetooth device. Even if Apollo isn't loaded/playing anything any use of the bluetooth controls will cause it to load and steal focus. The only way I can reliably get the controls to work in Podkicker Pro is to disable Apollo from the apps settings. Of course if I want to play music I then need to re-enable it.
Is there any way (settings, apps, patches, takser rules) to specify which app will receive the bluetooth playback commands?
Thanks!
