[Q] Remote Control Music player (next song=x number of clicks) - Desire General

Hi,
I'm totally new to Android and Desire peaked my interest. I've used WM and HTC as long as I can remember, but I'm fed up with WM...
However, there is an issue I hope to get some light over:
Is there anyway I can use a non-htc headset (I want in-ear) and use the microphone button and get to remotely control the music player on the Desire?
I have connected mine to the one in a store, 1 Click = start / stop music. 2 clicks voice call or similar. There seems to be no "NEXT SONG" feature.
On my HTC Touch HD I've used a tweak program that takes control over the signal from the headset and instead of doing a voice call - it sends info to music player (HTC proprietary). Worked like a charm, even when locked.
So, please, anyone knowing of a way to get around this? Major issue as I don't want to take phone out of pocket everytime I want to skip a tune...
Thanks

problems with AVRCP on the TP2 using BT stereo headset!

has anyone had the same problem as I have with bluetooth stereo headsets?
when I pair up my device with the headsets and start listening to musich on windows media everything ist just fine, the problem is when I pause the music while the phone is in standby mode, when I press play again, nothing happens, it works again after I press the power button ..this is annoying, normally this shouldn't be happening....does anybody know what the problem is??? thanx in advance!
The bt3030, is that the dogtag one? Because I use that one without the problem you describe with my Dutch stock TP2.
yes thats the same one....the dogtag one... but I also have the BT620s also from jabra...and it has the same problem...if I leave the phone for longer than 5 seconds in pause it wont play again after I hit the play button...when I hit the power button then it will automatically start playing again...but its annoying to have to hit the standby button so it recognizes the phone again...are you using WM player or another player? or are you using the manila player?
Turns out I have the same problem...
Just tested it, and you are right! If you wait a couple of seconds it won't resume playing (using wmp). I don't have a clue about why though. I was already quite happy it worked (kinda) as on my HTC Elf avrcp didn't work most of the time and A2DP was also very patchy. Looks like HTC needs to look into their BT programming.
I've used Jabra with 3 devices already, and its the first time I experience this problem and its REALLy annoying cause you have to take the phone out of your pocket in order to turn on the screen so it resumes the music... it must be a problem with the bluetooth stack...but I have no idea about that..hopefully more people experience this problem and somebody finds a solution...
Another BT problem
But it should probably in a different thread. I sometimes experience a lapse in the BT connection: the headset and phone temporarily become disconnecrted so the audio is rerouted through the phone's speakers, which is quite embarrassing in a quiet train or library! The connection often is re-established after a few moments. Have you experienced this kind of behaviour?
yes I also have...but this usually happens when your listening the to music and receive a call...so the music is automatically silenced, then when you hang up the music plays again but it comes out through the speakers.....but only after calls....and only sometimes...yes its quite embarrasing, but I guess it can't work perfectly....i think the play button problem is worse...and I can't find anything in other threads....apparently we're the only ones that have this problem, or that have noticed it...maybe we should look in the TOUCH HD thread, or the diamond II threads....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can assure you that TP2 is NOT alone. It's very common ONLY for HTC device. I have the same problem w/ ATT Tilt (HTC Kaiser) and Sony X1 (tested w/ MANY A2DP devices) and such problem was not happen to my Asus P525 and Eten M600. And I think I saw posts for the same problem for HD, TP1 and Diadmond too

BT A2DP Only works with Windows Media Player?

So I've been playing around with my Touch Pro 2 that I just got a few weeks ago. Having lots of fun, except for one thing: I can't get my Bluetooth controls to work for advancing or repeating tracks or pausing play with ANY media player except for Windows Media Player. I've tried at least a half dozen other players and every time I try to change tracks or pause play nothing happens with the music player and my phone just returns to the "home" screen.
What's worse, when I trying to use it with Media Player it seems to lock up some of my hardware buttons and I can't use the start to back key until I reboot. Anyone else experience any issues like this? Did I just screw something up by playing around with too many other programs?
I'm on Verizon running Win 6.5.
Just an update... I just loaded Pocket Tunes from NormSoft. This program works with BT buttons right out of the box. This was the program I used to use on my old phone, but I didn't think they had a 480x800 skin. Just found one and I'm a happy camper.
I just use the player built into sense and my controls work fine with my bluetooth car kit. I can advance, pause play etc etc

[Q] Motorola S9-HD problems..

Hi, I'm having issues with my brand new, just bought today Motorola S9HD bluetooth headphones. I am having three issues so far:
First Issue: The headphones seem to work with the Google Music player (stock, but newest version via market), but I cannot use seek controls, play/pause.
FIRST ISSUE SOLVED BY REMOVING WP7 MUSIC PLAYER AND ONLY HAVING STOCK ON THE DEVICE.
Second Issue: While I'm listening to music, I sometimes want to make a quick call. I assume with these I should be able to hit the call button, which goes to voice commands, then I say who I want to call, and boom, done. BUT! whenever the screen is off and I'm listening to music, then click the call button, it gives me three or so beeps but never quits playing music and never goes to voice commands. THE ANNOYING SOLUTION THAT I FOUND: When I turn on the screen, I am able to click the call button and go into voice commands, call whoever, etc.
SECOND ISSUE NOT SOLVED EVEN AFTER SWITCHING TO STOCK GOOGLE MUSIC PLAYER.
Third Issue: For some reason, I will get a random space (0.5 seconds to 1 second) randomly of no music, then it resumes. BUT sometimes it just all together stops playing music. I have left it for a couple minutes to see if it'll resume, but it doesn't. Then I look at the phone and it says it's still working, and the only way to make it play music through the headphones again is to restart bluetooth via the phone.
THIRD ISSUE POSSIBLY SOLVED BY USING STOCK GOOGLE MUSIC PLAYER INSTEAD OF WP7 MUSIC PLAYER. BUT SUGGESTIONS ARE STILL WELCOME.
Thanks for all your help!
2nd issue: did you tell it the first time what voice control you want to use? Like Vlingo, google voice, google search, etc.
3rd issue: no clue, mine does that too and it is annoying. I notice it gets worse if the battery is 2 or so hours without a charge.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try assigning the voice commands app.

muy issue with my Moto S(HD is that I continually have to re-pair every time I try to use them. anyone know why?
Regarding item #3, I think this is more related to the bluetooth stack on the Atrix crashing than it is related to the S9HDs. I don't have that problem with my S9HDs, but I routinely get it when paired to my car stereo. Probably happens once a week with my car stereo, whereas I've only seen it once in several months with my S9HDs. I'm hoping the bluetooth stack has been improved when we get gingerbread shortly.
I've a nokia BH503 BT headset ATM and never had those issues. It works with EVERY app on the phone, even the emulators, games and notifications sounds through the bluetooth headphones. I luv it.
Before my motorola atrix I used a Blackberry Storm + motorola S9HD BT headphones, and had exactly the same issues u report...
I have the S9HDs and I get pauses too. The thing that frustrates me is that it depends on where I have my phone. I have a jacket in wear when I bike ride that has a pocket on the inside. If I put the phone in there it constantly pauses. If I put my phone in my pants pocket it doesn't pause at all.
It seems like an easy solution, keep the phone in my pants pocket, but I wear workout type pants when riding and they are not deep pockets so I'm afraid the phone will fall out. It just doesn't make sense that the farther I put the phone from the headphones the better it works.

I use these, and play music with PlayerPro............have no issues. Don't call often with the headphones, but have not had problems with them there either.
I routinely have my phone in my pants pocket while I walk around the office listening to music, and never lose my connection.
Not much help I know, but there are I guess some of us who don't experience bluetooth issues.
I installed playerpro, and I'm liking it so far.

S9 HD's reception is really bad. And I tell you cuz I had those. I mean, u canĀ“t use the phone on your pants' pocket without lil skips... Nokias' reception rocks, and the battery last longer.
The problem with the s9 hd cutting out is reception. I have been using this headset for about 2 years while riding my motorcycle, with three different phones. They all had the same problem. With phone in my front pants pocket the problem persists. With phone in my shirt pocket, or in a backpack behind me, it never cuts out.

Navigation and playing music

So I finally got round to trying out the navigation whilst playing music on my One X, which worked fantastically on the old Desire.
1) I connect to my car radio via an FM transmitter which works really well however the beat audio distorts the base horrifically. I tried on really low volumes on the One X as well.
2) Both the nagivation and music appears to be playing at different volumes and I couldn't find anywhere to set these.
3) The most annoying was that the navigation cuts off the music about 5 seconds before it starts talking. It then says the usual "In x number of meters", then pauses for another 5 seconds before completing the sentance. It actually cuts straight back to the music, but the whole process end to end can take up to 30 seconds. My old GARMIN SatNav used to pause the music whilst it navigated so you never lost any of the song, whereas the One X keeps on playing in the background.
Anyone got any fixes or work arounds for any of these please, as this functionality is really useful
Thanks

[Q] Issues with inline remote - please help :)

I hope someone can help with this one!
I had this issue with stock ROMs too, so it's not the ROM, but right now I'm on Maximus v6.
Basically I have a pair of JVC headphones with an inline remote button. This button 'works' - I hit it once, pauses my music. I hit it once again, plays my music. Great.
Problems begin with I double click though. Double clicking calls the last person I've called - which is very annoying when I accidentally hit it twice at 7:30 in the morning, resulting in a very angry best friend X-D Does anyone have any suggestions on how to disable the 'calling' portion of the clicks? Preferably the phone would realise I'm not in a call, and only control music - but when I'm in a call control that. If not possibly, entirely disabling any phone interaction and only allowing music player interaction would be great
