Hi,
I have an "Ashutc Wireless Smartphone Photo RF Remote". Its a bluetooth remote that is supposed to function as a camera button for your phone, so you place your phone on a hard to reach place and then take photos without touching the phone.
Its supposedly compatible with android and iphone, and has two buttons, one for each OS. It pairs with my phone well, but clicking the android shutter button just toggles the flash setting, and clicking the iphone button opens the camera settings.
Does anyone know how I can change what the buttons do, so that I can take pictures?
I'm thinking the Tasker app maybe can be useful with this? But I'm far too clueless about how to use the app and its possibilities.
Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm thinking about buying one of these and re-configuring the buttons for music controls. The small size would make it great to mod into steering wheel music controls for an older car.
Hey there,
I was looking for a similar solution, but with any bluetooth headset.
Got it working via Tasker for any camera app, just have a look here:

Hope I could help. ^^
Did anyone get one else of those fob thingies with their M8 that does the same thing?
Having the same problem with my selfie stick... It toggles the flash instead of taking photo....
Appreciate if someone could help!
My wife's Note 3 has no issue with that...

Does anyone have a solution as to how to change the FM radio Channel through the Headset Call button??......currently i can only do it on the HD unit itself.
Any solution or link would be nice.
Thanks

Thank You.
Finally got something resolved.
I really like the phone, but stupid things, either due to Microsoft or HTC really makes me wonder why cant they get it rite like apple.
I really miss the sensor on i-phone, but as its windows you always have work arounds.
I am using pocket shield. Its good, but still misses one good option.
When the headset is inserted, you cannot disable the answer hard key.
I am trying to check, if there might be any application that can help me with that.
Apart from that the battery life is a bit bad rite now.
I have disabled all the bells n whistles like bluetooth, wifi, active sync,push notifications. but still dont know, why it is still lacking.
One thing I havent tried, is the option to switch off the device,
But the problem is that you have to press the power button everytime to bring it back, then swipe to unlock.
Phew... I knw to many complaints..
But luckily, its a easter weekend, so can search the net to make my phone perfect... heheehheheheh........
Let me know if you find something which changes the FM Radio preset stations with the headset button.
sure. will post rite here.
Even though this is 2 years after the previous post, it may help to say I would also like to have 1 button control for the FM Radio in my Android - ver 3.3.3 Samsung Gio.
If you know if an app has been created in the past 2 years, please let me know.

Had anyone figured out how to allow music apps to use the headset button? By default vlingo takes it over, and I was not able to override it. I didn't realize how much I depended on play/pause and double click for next track until I lost it. Spend lots of time at airports and in the plane listening to google music and slacker...
so annoying!
No luck using it in any music app I tried.
and I thought my headset was malfunctioning
This problem is like a black hole, everywhere I've seen it mentioned it just goes silent. This issue is really ruining my experience with this otherwise great phone. I used the headset buttons all the time on my old phone and never realized just how much I was addicted to the convenience until this phone proved just how much the lack of that function sucks.
So my question is... does anyone know if any of the ROMs will resolve this problem? I'll root this phone and flush vlingo right smooth down the toilet if it will give me back a functioning wired headset button.
Also, just to rub salt into the wound a friend has the AT&T version of the phone and the headset button on my headphones works just fine on his. *grumbles*
Hey Guys.
First the basic question: Is there any possible way that a 3 button headset can have all it's 3 buttons working on android, where ALL 3 can be customized?
To elaborate.. the app Headset Button Controller has 3 buttons (left, right, middle) that are customizable. However, I have looked through the threads here and only found that the middle button is usable, and lots of complaints about the other 2 buttons of certain headsets only being Iphone compatible.
I doubt that the 2 buttons that the dev designated in his app are there just for a goof (or for re-designation of the middle button via editing the .KL file), so there has to exist at least 1 example of a 3 button headset/wire that would make use of this.
And to clarify the function of this wire, the earbuds that came with my Note 2 have 3 buttons, but the left and right seem to be fixed on volume control only, so unless there is a way to make them work, I'll consider these ones not the customizable buttons that Headset Button Controller had in mind.
So my 2nd question: What are some examples of headset wires/wired headphones/earbuds where Headset Button Controller will affect all 3 buttons?
Here is my personal ranking of what I'm trying to find:
1) Independently sold headset wire w/ a working customizable 3 button headset
2) Earbuds with a customizable 3 button headset (these are cheaper to buy for the headset repair guy I know to dismantle so that they can be attached to my bose headphones. Same applies to #4)
3) Headphones with a separating customizable 3 button wire
4) Headphones (hopefully cheap) with a permanently attached customizable 3 button wire.
The idea is to get any sort of working working customizable 3 button device and make the right button skip tracks. The reason why using 1 button won't do the trick anymore is because Google Now decided to hog the middle button long click to itself, and even if I would double click, this can be wrongly done and activate Google Now when I have no need of it. So I can leave the middle button with Google Now and have the other two buttons for anything I want based on Headset Button Controller (once again, why would it even have 3 buttons if they were useless?)
Even though there is a trick that can be done by editing the .kl file in order to make your headset think it's clicking the right or left button, this had the crappy bonus of disabling the ability to pick up and drop calls when pressing the middle button, so that's a no go either.

Thank you for your time and I am very curious to know what your thoughts are on this.

I still don't quite understand one thing.. has anyone looking at this thread used the side buttons on this and/or the beats cable you sent me for anything other than volume?
This is the biggest question for me.. is there any feasible way for the side buttons to be customizable (without getting rid of the volume buttons function on the phone itself).
If no possible way, than I'll move on and just order my single button headset to be repaired (though I am still flabbergasted as to why android headset control apps even give the two buttons to edit if this function has never existed)
If yes, but only on certain android devices, then this function can possibly be added to the Note2 via editing some of the internal files... in this I would greatly appreciate anyone who has a 3 button controller proven to have it's 2 side buttons be customizable on other devices, to try editing one of the system files so the Note 2 would be able to do this as well.
If you are not sure but have one of the 3 button cables with you, I would buy you coffee if you were ever in NYC if you could please download Headset Button Controller and try customizing the two side buttons.
Just so we are on the same page, when I say customizable, I mean going to an app like Headset Button Controller and changing the left and right button to do anything I would want them to do (forward, back, pause, etc)
Thank you and sorry for the long message.
PS: I'm super cereal about buying coffee.
Ive had that same question. The answer is generally no they cant be programmed as they are hardcoded volume up/down.. But some phones might be programmable after all if the maker lets them be.
The latest phone leaving all 3-buttons customizable was the Nexus 3 manufactured by Samsung as far as I know it. Actually there is a list of 3 button functionality here: http://apphelp.degausslabs.com/phones/
This list confirms 3-button function or not, but that does generally mean the up/down button are hard coded for volume only.

They make sum here is list of Android headphones with 3button control
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789294
Android aNd windows phone use the same hardware when comes to 3 buttons control. Apple uses one they made. That's why 3 buttons headphone made for iPhone will not work
But the URL should help get an aux cable or headphones that works on list of android and windows device including note and all nexus ( expect nexus 4 )
Hi I am looking for a bluetooth camera button that is compatible with the oneplus one. If you have one that works, may you recommend it to me?
Also, if there is one that allows you to zoom in and out would be really great too.
Thank you.
I tried my bluetooth headset using the volume up button and it doesn't trigger the camera shutter. So I'm a bit skeptic if the bluetooth camera shutters work on the the oneplus. That's why I'm asking for advice.
It has to be Bluetooth? Because a headphone button would work
I bought a pressy-like button, but it doesn't work good.. i mean: android always kills its process and you need to wait for android to restart it and then it dows what it should. WAAAAAY better the screen off gesture to enable the camera, trust me.
Hey guys,
I just bought a new unit and have had fun installing/setting it up. But I've run into a few problems/questions that I can not easily solve from searching. I'm hoping for some help. I appreciate any insight that can be provided!
purchased:
MTCB 800x480 (EONON GA2114)
1.) I can't get the reverse camera to work
My previous head unit was the Astroid Parrot Smart and my backkup camera was working. I've setup my MTCB as follows: HU reverse wire to reverse light 12v & HU "cam in" to camera's RCA plug. I'm experiencing: when I put in reverse gear, I get a yellow triangle exclimation point and no proper video. Could this be becuase I have not grounded the HU parking wire (everything else is working properly without having to do that. Is there a setting somewhere I need to change?... pal vs ntsc?
2. ODBD not working correctly.
I can connect to it in bluetooth settings but Torque can not connect to it. I do have blue OBDB icon that appears in the taskbar
3. Keypress (for the physical hardware buttons) volume is too loud
even if I have the radio volume turned all the way down
4. music volume is too loud when volume set at one
With the volume of music at it's lowest setting, it's at a normal listening level.
5. Elements in Settings disappeared
It's just gone. I can't change the physical button colors any more. It was there before.
6. Saved radio stations.
After a scan is complete.... I can't figure out how to reorganize the order of stations.... or even delete the unwanted presets
7. Best way to automate wifi hotspot?
Should I set a tasker action to start hotspot upon bluetooth connect to unit? I sometimes have bluetooth manually turned off though. ... what's everyones solution to this? I though about a NFC sticker placed on my phone dock to automate bluetooth/hotspot.

When you say parking wire I assume you mean park brake wire. The park brake wire has nothing to do with reverse video. It is suppose
to turn off DVD video during driving. Which can be changed in settings BTW. Exclamation point normally means no video. Are you sure
you used the right input and that your camera is providing video? Test your camera on a normal video in and verify if you get a picture.
Also verify that your reverse camera gets 12 volt when selected.
