Headset Volume Controls

After many tweaks my EVO is almost perfect, but I still can't seem to figure out how to control media volume from my headset. I've tried both the ipod headset and the klipsch s4i and neither can control volume from the controls, but play/pause/skip/back do work. Suggestions?

Help please someone.

Someone please help me with this issue.

Why not use a stereo bt headset? Or try the touch slide headset, works on the evo, but I dont remember if it had volume buttons, skip.play ,reverse did have and worked nicely.

Thanks for the response! I'd really rather not have to buy another headset for something as simple as this, and it seems a little ridiculous that HTC/Google would release a product with this limitation. Is there an appropriate app?

there is no support for volume control from wire headphones yet, im hoping that somebody can make a small software package that will decode the vol+/vol- signals and adjust it accordingly..
Im going to be buying ipod headphones myself

This is very sad and one of the little things holding Android back D= Thanks for the response!

I also have the Klipsch S4i headset. I love how it sounds for speech and music. The volume controls worked perfectly when I was trying out the T-Mobile HD7 Windows Phone 7 but I sent that phone back because of the crappy T-Mobile network in my area (San Francisco Peninsula). Now I'm back on my EVO and I have no volume controls. I'd be happy to kick down $10 to any dev who can set this up for me. I'm running the latest Fresh ROM.

I don't suppose anyone has some more advice on this? I picked up playerpro, and I'm now able to play, pause, and skip with my Klipsch S5i headphones, but I can not control the volume, which is a pain to say the least.
Headset Button Controller app gave a bit more functionality (single, double, triple click), but I couldn't get it working and it also didn't have volume support.
Thanks for the comments guys.

CyanogenMod 7 has these features. Single/middle button plays/pauses and next track. iirc, +/- does next/previous track (or might do volume, not entirely sure).
Oh, and 7.1 will be getting a crapton of customizations with the inline controls...

That last link looks like it addresses what I need it to. Do you know if these fixes have been implemented already? That looks more like a suggestion than an implementation.

Anybody have any other ideas? As far as I can tell, CM7 doesn't yet implement the volume and play button controls on newer headphones with in-line controls.

[Q] headset with volume control?

Hello,
I'm planning to buy a good headset (with in-ear buds) like the ones from the brands Klipsch and Ultimate Ears.
They are designed for iphone/ipod with 3 buttons, 1 for play/pause, and 2 for volume up/down.
Those volume buttons don't work on Android, and I would like to know if there is a way (an app maybe) to make them work instead of having all the functions on a single button (quadruple press is not for me ).
Or maybe could you recommend ear-buds (with very good audio quality) with volume controls that will work on my Galaxy S2?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] headphones with music control?

anyone know if there are headphones with music control (next, pause, play...) for galaxy s2?
thanks!

im interested too for gym workout

the earbuds that came with my SGSII seemed to do this automatically with PowerAMP. hit the button on the mic for pause/play and hold it for next track. although, in the stock music app holding down the button to skip track won't work, but pause/play will.

I use a Jabra BT3030 bluetooth set. The controls are all on a dog-tag and you can use whatever headphones you desire. I'm using a set of Sennheiser MXL 60 phones because they have a nice short cord (with optional extension included), and a little loop that the BT3030 attaches to very neatly.
It's a great combo for cycling.

Also interested with this. Any good/great "regular" earphones(NOT in-ear/canal, etc) with working controls on PowerAmp?

Get the Sony DRC-BT30 BT30 Bluetooth Receiver and match it with your favorite earphones (that didn't come with volume/call control).

Has anybody tried a beats solo with control key? What keys work?

If it helps I quote myself:

Regarding volume control using different headsets with the SGS2 I've finally found a solution that works for me: Headset Droid It lets you assign different actions (including rising and lowering the phone's volume) to your headset's key/keys. I've tried it with the stock headset and works great! The link I include is for the 1 day trial version, if you try it and you like it's only 0,99€

Headset Droid
Beats Solo HD: Call(Hang), Music(On/Off/Forward/Back). Volume(Use Headset Droid).
Tried this, and yes it has a workaround with the beats solo but the commands tend to get mixed up. Like center(button) + hold = increase volume or it turns the music player off. So its better than nothing.

Will haven to check headset droid out, hoping for the best

[Q] Headphone remote control

Hi
Are there any headphones / earphones which have a remote control for music control. There are loads of them for the iPhone, but any of them that is compatible with the SGS2?

I'm using "Headset Button Controller" to control a pair of iPhone headphones.
It only works with the center button, but it supports single/double/triple key presses. So it controls: start/stop, and advance to the next song, as well and answer/disconnect incoming calls.

If u r looking for bluetooth ones, just make sure they support AVRCP.
If u r looking for wired ones, most of those vol+/- buttons won't work, but yes, still are compatible.

answer button will work as knowthenazz said

Posted this on the other thread. Might be of interest to you:
I have a pair of Beats by Dre with Control Talk (for iphone/ipod) and the functionality is the same. The play/pause button works but the vol up/down buttons don't.
Also, I have a pair of Shure 215. They are more bass-prominent than "signature Shure" sound but they don't muffle mids and highs like the Beats do. Anyway, I found these from Earphonesolutions after I got a SGS2.
SHURE SE215A ANDROID & BLACKBERRY COMPATIBLE EARPHONES
(not letting me post a link due to my low post count)
The description says works with "most Android phones" so I guess they're not guaranteeing anything. Too bad I got a pair of those without the buttons before I got the phone. But I thought it might interest some people.

HTC headphone are working great (with all buttons).You can find them anywhere on the internet..
STIL...if i remember well,they are fully working with certain kernels.
Ițm using Nimphetaminețs kernels

I use the Zagg Smartbuds witch works great.

I have a set of the bose ear bud headphones that worked unbelievably on my HTC HD2's and the answer button worked too. with the sII, nothing buttons work and the volume is pretty low.
could an app fix that?

Hey, found this piece of gadgetry - Etynomic MC2. Looks promising, any ideas from anyone about how these are. Apparently they have an Android remote.

I've had the old school Etymotics back in the past, they were great sounding, especially in the high end and mids. However, Etymotics are known to skim on the low end, so if you are a bass thumper, I would avoid unless you can tune the EQ like in Poweramp.
Not sure about the remote working with Android, I've had good customer experience with them, so I think what is listed on their site is true. Though I would email them beforehand to make sure.

Sorry double posting

I am using SE MW600, it can skip to the previous or next track, play and pause, show you the song title, and also show you the phone no of the incoming or outgoing call. The sound quality is good. you should try it out.

I heard Klipsch S4i works well .. I dont have so I cant confirm just browse through the forum you will get it

Iphone compatible headphones on a galaxy S3

So what is the prevailing view on the right headphone adaptor which will enable track skipping and volume when plugged into android phones? There are loads of high quality audiophile headphones which are off limits at the moment. I know the sony balanced armature buds will work, but I would like some Atomic Floyd. Which adaptor has had most success?
I have also downloaded remote control for earphones. This is a serious practical issue. I cannot believe with a phone so powerful, that these button functions are not coded into any android rom. Is there a ROM to flash, which will enable apple type inline remotes?

I own a skullcandy icon 3 headset.
mic: work
Volume: work
Next/last track : Don't work
On my iPhone i could double click and it move the next track, triple clikc and go back one track. This doesn't seem to work on the stock player on my Galaxy S3. I can pause and start playing though.

Skull candy half and half headset.
Mic, backward track skip, and volume don't work. Forward track skip does.
Beats wireless: Bluetooth all works. Bluetooth volume is separate from phone volume though. Wires- same problems as skull candy.
