I just purchased a par of Beats Headphones and the play/pause/answer button works but the track buttons don't is there anyway I can get them to work an app or tweak?

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.
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
Hey.
Does Beats by Dre with control talk work with S2?
Anyone know?
Everything works except the volume buttons.
I have this setup
-Player Pro with double tap controls (in settings)
-DSP Pack (Player Pro)
-Beats by dre Solo HD Red w Control Talk
diddybeats
I've got the diddybeats and they work well except that the right angled plug doesn't fully insert into the socket of the SGS2 so it keeps popping out. To fix it I filed down the plastic case around the socket and now they fit OK. Probably buggered up the resale value of the phone but never mind, I'll not be selling it for a while!
Sound quality is excellent with these phones BTW. As for the beats the volume controls don't work but the button does.
If you download th eKlipsch app from Market adn install it it can allow you to add more button type clicks on it that can help you control the volume and skip tracks etc.
It was meant for their own android headset but I have discovered it works well on iphone headsets too
Best of all it is free!
Might be useful to someone. HTC HD7 headset works with One X but. Volume control buttons work to change the track in music player. Pressing + goes one track back, pressing - advances a track. Holding the + restarts your playlist from 1st track. Button for phone calls so pickup/disconnect work as normal and long pressing it does the same as in stock headset so advances the track by 1 song. Microphone also works. Finally headset activates the beat add-on but saying that only 1 set of headsets did not activate it on my phone?!
It is useful as what you can do now is mod the HD7 headset so that right after microphone/buttons you have a 3.5mm jack socket and you can plug in any headphones and still use them as headset.
headset and headphones that work all three buttons & mic
- urbeats
- htc beats solo
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-001
i've got the nokia monster purity in ear headphones and they work with the one x pretty well, the volume controls function as track controls and the call button and mic works perfectly too. Only issue i've had is the music controls won't work at all if you're using chrome and trying to change the track. You have to get out of chrome and then the buttons work, strange but not a major issue.

Hi!
Just wondering if there's a work-around to get the remote on a Iphone headset to work on a DHD?
The mic, both earbuds and the middle button is working but not the volume control/skip tracks buttons.
I'm aware that it's a hardware issue, but do you know if there's an adapter I could use to get all the buttons working?
BTW it's regarding the Logitech Ultimate Ears 500vi that I just purchased. I've been using beats before but they suck donkey balls.
Regards
