[Q] Music player handsfree controls - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have modded my arc to the starter player and added the beats sound to it, my question though is whether there is an available mod so that you can change tracks with the handsfree button? Something similar to power amp perhaps?

[Q] Music Player with hardware controls

I want to use my in-ear sony earphones with my Desire for running. Now they don't have a mic or remote built into them, so I need a music player app that supports hardware controls for Next song, Play/Pause etc.
Could anyone suggest any good one?
Thanks guys!
Music mod has long press vol buttons as last/next song skip.

That's helpful, thanks!
Would some app allow the usage of the front buttons too?

Is there also a link for this?
It's the "feature" I really miss. It's veeeery annoying to wake and skip song.
Its on the market Im sure one will eventually, but if youre on vanilla roms, I think you can play/pause witg the trackpad? Not sure about that though.

Doesn't work for me. There is only "Skip with trackball" but this doesn't work. Maybe because I also wake my phone with the trackball. I need the controls with volumebuttons :S
You mean this one, right?

Ultimate Ears 600vi earphone cannot get full control

I got an Ultimate Ears 600vi, it can only control the PLAY, PAUSE & NEXT functions with using default player and PowerAMP. Other functions such as VOLUME UP, DOWN & BACK don't work. Anything to make all those functions work?
thanks

vol+ and vol- are Ifunction ( Reference to ipod, iphone, etc ) and can be used by this phone. Nothing will make them work, unless some re create the sound driver and add event for those input. I don't even think it's possible. So to answer yor question : no, sry.

How to enable beats on poweramp player.

Hi all, im listen allot to FLAC music, and as you know the built in music app doest support this format, so i downloaded poweramp from google play and the sound was bad, so i search in the app how to improve the sound and i found an option to enable the beats audio,
Open the app, go to settings>audio engine>advanced tweaks> and unselect "direct volume control" and listen again
P.s sorry about my poor english, i really hope you all understand me.

The built in music app in fact does support FLAC since android 4.0
Why would you use Beats if you're a music enthousiast listening to FLACs?
You found the comprehensive eq in PowerAmp I take it? Always been able to get a decent sound tuned to the headphones I'm using. Beats is just a bass boost from the eighties.
Make sure you don't have the eq AND the tone controls (bass and treble) enabled, else they'll conflict. Chose one or other.

Not sure about the OP, but on my device, Beats and PowerAmp, work right out of the box. The actual setting is only visible when you have a pair of headphones plugged in, then go to Sounds --> Sound Enhancer to select Beats

WOrks samee for me here, too. Can I ask fellow PowerAmp users whether they have sudden dips and peaks in volume when browsing the phone and opening apps? Could you tell me if any advance tweaks you have, buffer size etc?
Thanks
The beats logo is showed from the box, but the sound isn't

Thank you so much for find this and share with us. I loved Beats with the urBeats but now I can have both and PowerAmp with Beats. What a fantastic phone we have . Even the ICS Lockscreen feature does display Album Art on the HTC Lockscreen.
Hey thanks , that correct , now when I turn beats icon on/off can fill more baSS in sound, before this trick was no reaction.

Hmm, haven't noticed that, but in general the handling of notifications is very bad with PowerAmp!
Also, the fading function does not work anymore on One X. I posted about this in their forum and they said it is being looked at and will be fixed in the next update, whenever that is... :-/
I only enable Beats Profile when I need to dislodge ear wax. Otherwise I like being able to make out the words being sung.

Funny you mention this. I started noticing this after upgrading to 1.28
Also, the sudden pause/gap when listening to songs is also there; whether the next song starts (crossfading) or you fast-forward a song.
I think PowerAmp has not been optimized for the HTC One X yet. I hope the team is working on it. I love PowerAmp!

I like that as well. When you select ICS Lockscreen in PowerAmp, it uses the actual HTC music widget on your lockscreen, that is very cool.

I've just noticed that if you change the thread priority to +1 , the dips in volume seem to go away. It's good that they are looking into optimizations tho

FLAC, lossless audio with no drop in quality, used by audiophiles to obtain music in exactly the same sound/quality of the original.
Beats Audio - DSP EQ tuner software to alter the sound of the music, like using a crap DSP effect/EQ on a pc soundcard or ancient 1980's midi system
the 2 don't go together, you may as well use mp3 and save on storage space

doesn't matter, let's music
I love to go to my company with playing music by 1X in my pocket. The quality of lossless music is acceptable
P/s : I'm using Pk2 earphone, not beat

I don't think this is quite accurate, and furthermore do not understand the hate for Beats. I am not a fan by any means, but I really dislike it when people bash something because they read it elsewhere or someone else told them about it.
I am not saying that you are that person, Zombiefly
Reminds me of Windows Vista and people's perpetual dislike for the OS strictly from word of mouth when a lot of the bugs were squashed with SP1 (and subsequent SPs) ... but I digress
If some people like it, let them be. It just seems that every time someone expresses a certain preference for Beats or just ask a question about Beats in general, a lot of people jump on the hate bandwagon while not addressing anyone's questions; worse they say they prefer DSP Manager.
The irony here is that NONE OF THAT MATTERS if these so-called 'purists' are using Poweramp with the DVC option ticked on LOL; they're not even using Beats except for the notification icon haha.
Apologies for the rant - again, it has nothing to do with you specifically Zombiefly, just wanted to get that off my chest.
Errr, I might be being stupid here but where in Poweramp is the Sounds option?! I see the BeatAudio icon at the top when I plug headphones in and play music in Poweramp but turning Beats off or on in the notification bar makes no difference.
I cannot find an option for Beats anywhere in the Poweramp settings.
Thanks.

Beats audio is a system feature not Poweramp. you can toggle it on/off from notification bar

You have to click on 'Settings'
If you have the default three dots button (tap on that)
Click on Settings
Click on Audio Engine
Click on Advanced Tweaks
Disable Volume Control

I did say turning it off and on in the notification bar makes no difference.
Thanks Quiksilver78, that does the trick.

[Q] Sony STH30 and OnePlus One

Hello Guys! So, I need a pair of headphones for the OnePlus One with the ability to control calls and music player volume. I have heard about the Xiaomi Pistons, but I dont like in-ears headphones. I find this Sony STH30 at amazon for 18€. They can answer/end and control the volume in calls , and control the music player and is volume? I'm open for suggestions to! It would be great if available on amazon too .
Thanks!

I think it is very likely since Sony manufacturers Android phones. The only way to know for sure is to try it out... or hold out for someone else who has. :good:
