I have bought a Logitech UE6000, a good headphones but it's for iPhone. I can skip to next song but I can't change the volume or play previous song. Is it possible to change for make to do it full functional?

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.
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
I used to have a blackberry 8900 and simply control the track selection by using the volume rocker while in my pocket. I would also use the mute button to pause playback.
Is there a way to map the L/R buttons or hold the volume rocker to switch songs on the PLAY? Preferably without buying an app.
Thanks.
Nope, there is not.
but you can buy a SE MW600 headset... and problem solved.
The PSP had this
I just used the headset it came with.

In that case, would there be some sort of app someone can recommend to remap buttons to media controls on android?
Im sure theres some sort of root app that would allow this

there is a paid app in the market to remap buttons for rooted phones.

Just need to remap the L/R buttons to "Media Next" AND "Media Previous"
I think I posted it in one of the other posts about using it with the DK300.
HOWEVER, I cannot find any app in the market to LOCK the buttons and stop them mapping the next / previous songs temporary or only mapped when using the music players.
So, if you mapped the buttons, you will accidentally pressing the buttons if you hold the phone up / put the phone in pocket/bag. Some players will just skip to next songs when u press the buttons, but some music players will play the songs and skip to next songs when you press the previous/next buttons.
any one can help?
Well I'd have to root my phone it looks like.
I wonder if there is a way to map media next/previous to the volume rocker when it is held down for a certain period e.g. 1 second
let me know if it works please
once CM7 comes to the phone in CM7 there is the ability to hold the Volume up down to skip to the next song or hold volume down to go to the previous song.
I think you do NOT have to root your phone:
I used a SE MW600 headset with the Xperia X10 and all of the buttons worked by default!
You will be able to do that with the Bluetooth headset - MW600
or LiveView
or the Live Headphones if they are supported.
What is CM7?

Try my new free app called KnockControl play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.LatvianBeaver.knockcontrol
It allows you to knock on your phone and control many popular players!
I know this is a new product, but maybe.
http://uk.akg.com/product-detail-2821/k328sbp.html is a headset w/ microphone and vol control, but it says it's been made for the i-products (ipod/iphone...)
Does anyone know if they work with Androids, specifically SGS2s? (the mic and vol control I mean).
(for anyone who cares, I've signed up to be a guinea pig, and yes they work well, except for the volume control buttons.)
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!
So, are the AKG K328 working perfectly with SGS2 using Klipsch Control? Can I have a confirm?
Microphone, volume (+ and −), call answer, play/pause, next/previous song are all working correctly?
Many thanks indeed
