using a headset to control music has been a huge thing for me and I've been doing a lot of research to figure out what
works.
Results are, and most iPhone headphones with remote and mic in line don't natively work but you can make them work with android.
In ther play store there's a few apps the ones I've tried are remote control for headphones (icon is a pair of white iPhone headphones) this basically allows you to map the button presses to skip to next track and previous etc
This app works perfectly with stock player. However I use power amp and that natively works with the earphones. I have just received my Sony earphones with iPhone remote and works perfectly.
For quick settings in notification I use toggle panel. Also widgetsoid is good
Also has anyone experienced problems with YouTube app ? I don't see all my subscriptions. And that's not just this rom its on my TouchPad too

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.
Has anyone tested iphone/ipod headphone media controls with the note and do they work? I want to buy some headphones but most just say apple compatible. I know the 3.5mm jack is different from the first generation galaxy phones. I plugged the Note OEM earphones into a captivate and the controls didn't work. Thanks!
Hi, I tried a headphone that came with HTC HD2 and it turn out that this HD2 headphone can work almost the same function as the one Samsung sent with the Note. Only press to Play/Receive call work and FW/BW, they are working as Vol up/down.
have you tried the headset from the NOTE?, I can use it with beyondpod for:
. next
. previous
. vol
. pause
and you can assign the button for other functions...
I'm currently using the Note's provided IEM, as mine kind of spoilt. so far I only use it to increase, decrease volume, launch stock player, play and pause. Still thinking how to change sound track though. but yeah, it's working for me.
the beyondpod player responds to double clicks and long clicks of answer button, so you can assign it to FF....
maybe the stock player can use that clicks too....
I'm using my Shure 215 with the optional headset cable with a single button and it works fine with "Headset Button Controller" from the market.
Click = play/pause
Doubleclick = Next track
Click&Hold = Volumechange (set it to changing from 20-80% in x steps)
And you have call control.
What I still haven't figured out is how to make the samsung voicecontrol app start and work when the phone is asleep...
Don't know if there is any device without a apple logo that can use the apple compatible buttons (they would sue them

What do you mean optional headset? Where can I get this from?
I'm using the Audio Technica AT335i and it works well. Best thing about it is that it's modular, so you can use it with any earphones you like.
It says it's intended for iPhone, but as far as I can tell, all functions work fine on my Note (single click to play/pause/pick up call/end call, double click to go to next track, triple click to go to previous track). Volume control is just an analog slider so it works independently of the phone's volume settings.

I have the one button version.
With the other one only one of the 3 buttons should work on android.
Klipsch sell an Android specific set of buds called the S4A...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Klipsch-S4A-Headphones-Android-Silver/dp/B005M1KO1C
The earphones are single button and rely on a free, native Android app here:
https://market.android.com/details?...NvbS5vdXRzaWRlc291cmNlLmtsaXBzY2hjb250cm9sIl0.
I don't have the S4A's, but I just downloaded the app and it works perfectly with my Note and Marshall Minors (http://www.marshallheadphones.com/product/minor).
There's been lots of complaints about the Klipsch app not working with the Galaxy S and various other phones, but I can't find a problem with it on the Note.
*** Update ***
I just found the Klipsch Promedia's on Amazon for £35 (usually £90 like the S4A's): http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_t=3201&pf_rd_p=466496413&pf_rd_i=typ01
They appear to be exactly the same as the S4A's apart from the colour - this thread indicates they work fine with the Klipsch android app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20510095
I'm hoping they'll be delivered before I return to work next year
I have order one of these last week...hopefully the buttons will work ok
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140667744072#ht_3688wt_922
I picked this up from Amazon, as I'm quite fond of my current in-ear headphones and didn't want to buy something else that had an integrated remote.
Only the main button is supported. Neither of the volume buttons respond.
It works natively with ICS and Galaxy Nexus. If you aren't using a third-party Music App, it will automatically call up the default Music application and start playing. Double-press to skip. No support for triple-press.
Since I use PowerAMP, I'll also mention that the app has an option to respond to Headset buttons. This intercepts the Headset's commands -- you don't get crazy things like two Music apps playing at the same time. Long-press to skip ahead is the default, though an option in settings allows for Double/Triple-press and works as advertised.
Hopefully this helps some of you looking for Android headset remotes without having to switch headphones/earbuds.
Along those lines, I ended up with a similar product. I had similar results to yours (no surprise.) The cord isn't very substantial and it looks flimsily made, but hey, it was only $5 and it gives me an easy way to pause without digging my phone out of my pocket. I was pleased to see that it works with BeyondPod (with the internal player.)
Hm.... In theory this should also work when using an aux cable to plug the phone into my car stereo for music. Instead of navigating the lockscreen to skip tracks or pause I could just hit the button on the adapter.
I like this!
Anyone tried headphones with media Controller (Like the Galaxy S, the nokia)?
I'm looking for my car setup and I want to put a controller closer to the steering wheel and a microphone integrated, but I don't know it it'l work :|

You mean like any bluetooth stereo headphones? I'm pretty certain no wired headset will do this because the headphone jack doesn't support it.
There are quite a few standalone bluetooth stereo receivers around that you can plug generic headphones or a stereo line-out into though. I prefer the Jabra BT-3030 'dogtag' receivers, but there are plenty of others around. Just do a search on Froogle, Buy.com or any other big electronics site and you'll find them. The only real difference between them all is battery life and sound quality, they all have media player controls using standard Bluetooth profiles and they all include a condenser mic built-in.
No, I was talking about a button on the wired headphone, like the Galaxy S, to skip track, answer call, those sort of things.
From what LG answered me, it's not possible...
Downer there :|
Finaly found a spare pair of headphones from a Galaxy, with the button for the media controller.
Turns out, it works!
Long press opens voice control,
short press starts media player
two short press skips the track when playing.
There must be a standard for Android, I'll try to find the list tomorow and test it out, but anyway, good thing it works.
Anyway, good things it works! I'm running a lot, long distance, and it'll screw up any bluetooth, even S-10 (my current pair had some issue but cleaned up after drying in rice), so the good ol' button hearphones with the media controller is the best for me!
I've ordered a "seperate" microphone with a button and the input, I'll test and let you know!
I just bought some a-JAYS One+ for about 60$ The remote works with the Optimus G and most android phones.
The remote lets you:
Skip tracks
FF / Rwind
Play / Pause
Volume up / Down
Pick up calls
The sound quality is actually very good especially for bass junkies like myself. Not to mention the sleek swedish design.
I absolutely recommend them to anyone out there.
Cheers!

it is not a Android feature, it is just the the extra rim on the 3.5 headphone minijack that adds controls to it. and Android have adapted it. like micro USB for charging and connecting.
open standards are always to prefer

Well, I tried with my old Nokia N95 headset which has play, forward, volume, etc. And it did not work as expected, some buttons work as a single button headset. Also bought a Samsung headset (could not find LG headsets) with a button and volume control and the volume control does not work, the volume up key replicates the button.
So it is not that standard.
Or is there an app to activate the volume and multimedia buttons on those headsets?

I have Plantronics Explorer 50 A2DP BT mono headset.
It have a button which can receive calls on one click, or redial on double click. And it works fine.
But it can't control music. I've tried million apps on play store, which allow to re-assign music controls like single, double, triple click for pause / play, prev etc.
But none of those apps seems to have any effect.
My phone is OnePlus One with CyanogenMod, but I have tested that Earphone with two other android smartphones of my friends, and it is not controlling music either on their devices. I am using Meridian player, but as said above, I've tested ot on two other phones with no specific player. Same on YouTube app in my phone. Also, standard wired earphones with mic button works fine for play / pause / next / prev on my phone.
Do all A2DP headsets miss that functionality?
And is there any reason no one made an app to switch music with device like this one? I mean, button sends signal to the phone anyway (f.e. redial). Is this really not possible to remapp this functionality? I really do not need to pick calls with my BT at all - it serves only for music.
Or is there something else I am doing wrong? I was googling few days with no results or similar issue. I am a bit lost.
Really, thanks for anything which will guide me to solution
No one have any knowledge which I do not possess? At least something that would guide me in any direction at all?
Please. How do this signal works? I cant find any information on the subject, nowhere
Maybe tasker could change the music, but would it work with headset like this one?
