To the Community:
Fully aware that I need to root and get rid of all the bloatware, I ask the following:
I have Beats Tour headphones and the buttons *kinda* worked with Power Amp after I had downloaded Klipsch Control App (no volume control, just pause, advance with a double click, go back with a triple click) -- but now I just downloaded Neutron MP and all I can do now is pause and advance. Also, Music Player and Music Hub are getting in the way by assuming the headphone clicks are for them so I'm SUPER close to rooting and getting rid of them.
But that may not solve the problem.
Anyone know how I can get the headphone control to work with Beats Tours and Neutron?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I have a pair of ultimate ears (metro.fi 200v) earphones.
This has the one button on the headphones.
Now I tested these on a Nexus one and the button can control the music (press to start music and press again to stop, double-click fast and it skips the track).
On my Desire - only the press to start/press to stop music works.
I am unable to get it to answer a call when it comes through.
Does anyone have any ideas if there is a way to get these headphones working (ideally using all the functionality that the stock headphones give?)
Thanks
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.
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.
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
Hi all,
I would like to ask can the One X be controlled by other in-line remote control headphones (Not Beats) which allows you to skip forwards and backwards through your tracklist, as well as pause and resume playback?
If not able to control music then are there any custom ROM/ software which can make the phone to do that?
I know Sensation XE can do all that with any headphones but not sure about the One X.
You comments are much appreciated.
Pretty sure my Sennheiser MM50s can change track on it. Get a lot of hissing and audio crackling with them though on the One X
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
please if someone can update if the ibeats / urbeats can actually control skip/ forward/ pause/ answer call and music with volume up and down?
Mine doesn't come with beats but i have other headphones with in-line remote control. nothing works apart from the answer/ stop/ start. Skip track and volume control doesn't work on all my earphones / headphones. Including my Beats Pro.
so why was that happened if they promote beats?
My old HTC Desire headphones with inline control work fine... I can play / pause and skip tracks.... works really well.....
If your controls dont work try a different music player such as Poweramp as that has an option for headphone controls in the settings menu....
Just got some URbeats on order.. I will update when they arrive
Thanks, fortunatly i found a solution.
Download Jays Headset Apps, then all works. (Apart from volume up and down replaced by Press once + Hold and Press twice + Hold). Different from normal volume up/ down button. At the moment i am quite happy with it provided all headphones i tried on works and with the Beats Logo on top.
