Headphones

Hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible to write an application to allow the volume control on headphones e.g. ipod headphones to be used on the DHD?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Hey i dont think you can as it is just a regular head phone jack on the DHD but it could be used as a secondary control where you turn your phone up full then just turn down your headphones and control it that way.
hope it helps
I tried a Nokia controller thing once and the only thing that worked was the volume control.
Those stock headphones just send a specific signal into the jack that only works on HTC phones I guess.
Someone could write a program that reads controls from other headphones too.
The Nokia controller I have is detachable and usable on any headset so I would support anyone willing to do that

[Q] In-line volume control?

Hey all,
My favorite earbuds got run over by a car recently and now I don't have an excuse not to upgrade to a pair with an in-line mic, playback and volume controls. Right now I'm looking at the Woodies Blues (can't post links yet, I lurk to much. A quick search on Amazon will enlighten you) but I wanted to confirm that the volume and playback controls actually work before pulling the trigger. I've done my research but still haven't gotten a definitive answer, some people say none of the controls work, some only the play/pause button and some even claim the volume controls work so I turn to my favorite panel of experts. Tell me oh oracles of technology, does the Android platform support in-line controls and if so which features work and which don't?
On a side note has anyone here actually tried the Blues? What did you think?
Mahalo!
I've got a pair of the sony earbuds with ipod remote. (As with you boundless I lurk as well.... so no links. Search this on amazon)
Sony MDREX38iP/BLK EX Earbud with iPod Remote Control (Black)
Phone is a DX rooted Froyo. Unfortunately the remote does not control the volume. If volume up or down is pressed on the headphones it will pause the track and hitting it again plays the music.
I'm curious if anyone has figured this out as well. I would love to use the inline volume controls that my headphones have.

[Q] 3.5mm cable with control button?

I use my cappy in the car quite a bit to listen to music, and was wondering if there were any 3.5mm aux cables that had a built in button for controlling music, similar to what is on some headsets.
Thanks.
I use the ones compatible with blackberry and apple stuff. If you get the apple controls, only the middle button works. Unfortunately, the stock player doesnt utilize the headset button thing so you need a third party app (personally, I use Doubletwist).
Well there's this :

[Q] Headphone Controls

Bose headphones Inline Remote Config

Hi All,
Does anyone know of an app or plugin which will make my Bose inline remote work with the HTC10. It does work with the play pause button but the volume and the other rather extensive controls don't.
