[Q] Any way to get headphones meant for iPhone to work? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to get these Bose headphones but the volume and skip-track buttons only work on the iPhone. Any way to get it to work with Android?

Because it's a hardware problem you can only get the skip/repeat/stop track rockers, volume won't work. I use poweramp and it works like a charm.

Are you saying Poweramp is an app that allows you to use the iPhone controls with android? Thanks.

Yes poweramp is a replacement media player, that will allow in-line controls.

HTC RC-E100 to control PocketPlayer?

I have the HTC RC-E100 headset and it works well with Windows Media Player, but my favourite media player is Conduits PocketPlayer (4.1), and the remote control options don't work with PocketPlayer.
Does anyone know if it's possible to set up PocketPlayer to be controlled by the in-line remote control buttons on the RC-E100 cable? (e.g. for volume, play/pause, FF/REW)
you should ask the authors of that software..

Any wired remotes for the Evo?

For headphones? Is this function even possible with the 3.5mm jack that's on our phone? I have one of these for my iPod touch, but I trying to ween myself off of the Apple teet.
The stock HTC version of froyo (with sense and whatnot) will work with an iphone headset natively. But only to play/pause and deal with calls. It wont skip tracks fwd/back or fast fwd or adjust the volume.
HOWEVER, you can get a free app in the market called droidshuffle. It adds track skipping and a few other minor features. But, the current version doesn't work with the HTC music player. So you can either install a 3rd party player called cubed or the default android player (if you can find the apk on a forum).
The droidshuffle dev is working on a new version that will also work the the HTC player. I've been trying the beta and it seems to work fine. While cubed and the default android player are fine I like using the HTC player because it gives you lockscreen controls too.
These work perfectly for me, shipping takes forever but the price makes up for it

Yeah I have the same and they're okay. The sound quality is crap but they're made by HTC so at least all of the buttons work properly. I use mine to control doubleTwist.

Some shipping and soldering would take care of that problem. Anyone know if a Bluetooth remote exists that doesn't output audio?

[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?

I'm curious to know if this worked. I don't think it's that simple, I believe you actually need the framework

As far as i know, a couple music players work with them but not too well. the stock Evo music player had play/pause functionality, but after I tried installing other music players, cubed for example, I lost the functionality in the stock music player. I'm not sure about this music player, because im letting my brother borrow my headphones, but i will definitely try them when i get a chance.
Also, does anybody know if their is a music player that will give the song changing controls in the notification bar? same concept as when in a call and the notification bar is pulled down, the "end call" button is right there. I see it as being a simple concept but im not a developer so no disrespect to any of the awesome devs out in the world. still waiting for full Desire HD rom
Yes, i guess i did forget to mention this isn't from cyanogen, but it was from an aosp "like" rom that had the g2 launcher on it. I pulled it form that, but since it looked like the cyanogenmod one, i just uploaded it

Note 4 software equalizer

I did not know that the phone had a software equalizer but I must say that I like it. Im using the note with Gold Xiaomi 2nd Piston Earphone and i must say they sound good. Now I am looking to get a pair of the Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 but this set up sounds read good for the price I paid for the ear buds.
its not as good as something like V4A but it's a hellofalot easier to tune. For a built-in eq, its pretty nice.
I run the large room reverb setting in my truck. Sounds awesome.
Where is there an eq?

Easiest way to find it is in Google music, go to settings you will see it there.

For my, it works with Google music, stock player and Double Twist (i think). I will also test it with poweramp.

Maybe I'm missing something but every time I look at the EQ settings they are reset. I've changed then and hit done.
I dont see any settings unless I put in my headphones.
if you use Power Amp it's easy to bring it up by a long press of "Music FX"
Does anyone know how to reset the eq? I got a different set of headphones and I wanted to run thru the setup wizard again. I already tried to clear data on adapt sound and soundalive.

How do you all find the DAC in the Snapdragon variant compared to the Wolfson DAC in previous Note devices?

in the Music app, go to menu > settings > sound alive > advanced
and to the second guy; Its better than previous built in chips, but without a way to tune the dac (custom kernel), it's hard to give a solid answer. my s3 with very finely tuned dac for my custom audio setup sounds world's apart. no comparison.
I like it for being stock on the phone. Im still thinking about getting a fiio E18 DAC. I just started out getting into better audio equipment. I had a pair of Ath M50s and vmoda m80. I looking to pick up the new ATH-MSR7 when they come out.
