Sometimes I accidently turn ringer volume down low (not mute) and miss an important call.
I’ve found apps such as Ringer Volume (Android-Lab) to reset it at given times, however they all wants ‘full Internet access’ don’t know if I like that with an app that will be constantly running and with my limited data allowance?
Another option would be a taskbar icon showing my volume level; however I cannot find any such widget.
It’s not mute that give me the problem it’s when I decrease the Ring Volume sometimes by accident when holding my Desire HD, with CyanogenMod 7.
Anyone got any suggestions on this?
there's an app called Settings Profile that u can set rules to do stuff, so u can set a rule to keep invoking a certain profile at whatever interval you want. The Lite version can only set 1 rule so I am not sure if that's good enough for you or not.
Hi Lukesky, thanks for taking the time to help.

I think I had looked at Setting Profiles before but just had another look and my concern with it is that it takes Full Internet Access, perhaps I’m being paranoid but I only have 20Mb of data per day and then the price per Mb goes up dramatically, let alone when I’m roaming, OK I know I could turn Data off if I wanted. So do you think the Lite App will be using data via its internet access?
here u go buddy...its simple quick and fast.... i use it all the time and place as widget
Thanks Lalitehgal, I appreciate your help however unless I’m mistaken this widget has no option for an auto timed volume increase, and my problem is I sometimes do not realize I have decreased the volume while holding the phone.
@richardsoffice: in my opinion you should definitely not be required to adjust ringtone or notification volume manually. Because once - in office - you are satisfied, but then - on the street - you just don't hear anything. The phone should adjust the ringtone volume automatically based on ambient noise and phone position (pocket/out of pocket/table/...). Check out an app called IntelliRing.
Manually adjusting ringtone volume does not do any harm if your ringtone volume is managed by IntelliRing. So you can accidentally adjust volume as you want
This is an additional hardware button for your android device that goes into your headphone jack. Not unlike the Pressy kick starter project. It's under $5 delivered from here http://www.dx.com/p/3-5mm-plug-shortcut-key-for-android-phone-silver-315648#.U2DYX3k_70x. I've ordered a couple to see how useful they are. There is an app that goes with it, but it would be awesome to see some custom app development for these things. I reckon they could do some pretty cool things with root access.
Anyway, what do we think?
Yep, got this one last week. There is an issue with app which I'm trying to figure out. That is a reason why I haven't posted my review
The button works perfectly. The app asks you if you want to use it as Klick or headphone, and no matter what I select, it always works as Klick. So, when I insert my headphones with in-line remote, clicking on play button activates pre-defined Klick shortcuts. I need to try it with another phone to make sure it's not related to my Note 2. Other than that, app works great where you can define single, double, triple click and long press, assigning it to different apps as a shortcut.
Have you try using the app? Does it work selecting between Klick and headphones?

Hey Vectron. I haven't got mine yet, so I cant offer any opinion at this stage. A couple of questions. Are there many functions you can perform without having to unlock the phone? Also, I've read somewhere that it's not compatible with Android 4.4. Are you running that on your Note? Could that be the reason for the headphone issue?
That button triggers the same intent as the headphones button. So why don't you use an app that recognizes that button, best recommendation being Tasker, of course?
Yeah, that's definitely my plan. I'll check out the stock app first, and then start mucking around with Tasker. I'm still in the process of learning the ropes with Tasker, so I'll take my time....
Thanks
On the topic of using Tasker to control Klick, I found an app called Headset Button Controller (that's the free version but there's also a paid version) that allows you to set functionality for no less than 8 different headset button 'gestures' (basically different combinations of short and long presses). One thing you can set any gesture to is "Tasker task", which then allows you to choose a Tasker task that you've already created and apparently that will happen when the relevant headset button gesture happens.
Being a Tasker novice, creating the headset button press event(s) doesn't appear to be straight forward. It looks like this app will make that aspect much easier.
Anyway, I haven't got my Klick yet, so I can't try it out, but it seems like a much easier way of allowing much more functionality to this device quite easily. Once my Klick arrives I'll give it a go.

A bit of a bump here but I've received mine from DX, looks/feels good enough for me to leave in my device 24/7 as I don't use headphone's, one problem is that calls are silent unless I take it the pressy-clone out, is there any option in Android/Headset Button Controller that allows me to bypass that?

Yeah mine arrived the other day too. I'm still working out the finer points of it. If you have the Klick app installed it should ask you, when you plug it in, whether you've just plugged in your klick or your headphones. If you choose klick, your phone calls should still work properly. But I've noticed that it seems to forget at times, and decides that you do have headphones plugged in. Hopefully they will begin updating the app.
I think Tasker will be the best way to control these things, albeit quite complex. I'm going to start working on that when I have a bit of down time...
The device itself looks good and send to be well made. Fingers crossed the software improves.
I second https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kober.headsetbutton Works great for the Klick on the Galaxy S5, would be worth buying the pro version.
Trying to use Klick on my Motorola Razr HD on the other hand is a different story. The phone (independent of rom!) interprets the click as a mouse press on the screen which makes it completely useless
Update!
I finally got the Klick to work on my Razr HD. Knowing that the click action is essentially a headset press (thus why the apps ask what you plugged it), I was able to troubleshoot based on that and found my answer in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexu...trols-t1997277
Basically you install the Key test app in that thread and find out what the click is being interpreted as by android, in my case it was "BUTTON_1" with an address of key 256. This is wrong, we want the button to be "HEADSETHOOK". (Your button number will likely be different depending on phone model)
I opened /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl in root explorer and changed the "BUTTON_1" to "HEADSETHOOK" next to key 256, saved and rebooted. Works great now. Good luck guys!
The bad news:
Nexus 7 (2012) doesn't detect any button presses at all from the Klick
When using Headset Button Controller, it is possible to direct the audio to the speakers and to make the phone use the built-in microphone? I would LOVE to be able to use the Klick to mute the microphone during a call but the phone seems to be trying to use the mic on the non-existent headphones.

I don't know what's going on but I noticed that the button does toggle mute with one click during a call. This is with Klick App installed or MiKey app installed. Not sure if I am an idiot and just never tried it before but I am pleased. So many conference calls...

Info from author: "I just released a new version of Headset Button Controller to google play. The version 7.6 includes the pressy mode (version 7.5, which I released yesterday contained a bug) (...)
As I said I don´t wont to implement such a hack for long click.
Showing a different profile icon depending on the selected profile makes sense. I will put in on my backlog (...)"

Thanks for the heads up. So does it play well with the Klick as well as Pressy?
I've had my Klick on the back burner for a while. I didn't have sufficient spare time at the moment to keep playing with Tasker, but I'll get back to it eventually. It sounds like the Headset Button Control and Sound About apps may be more useful now.
I also know that the Pressy's are finally starting to roll out so that could mean more apps that support this kind of hardware might pop up. If anyone sees anything, please let us know.
All reports are that the official Pressy app works better than the Klick app. You need to own a Pressy to have access to their app, AFAIK. Maybe that will change in the future and you'll be able to pay for the app...

Yes. No problems at all. Just try. With HBC you have also ability to change Button behaviour with norma headsets so this is I think biggest advantage. ITS a pitty that only long click not working.

@lazik you're active about it. Some suggestions?
I just downloaded tasker. It seems like an amazing application but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to use it. Here are the tasks that I would like to program:
1) Set Wifi On when I am at home using cell towers
2) Set Wifi Off when I leave home
3) Change volume level to vibrate when I plug it in to the charger and allow emergency calls from certain phone numbers (I read you can do this)
4) Set volume level to highest setting when the phone is unplugged
5) Launch Pandora when my phone is connected to bluetooth
If someone could post step by step instructions that would be great. My hope is once I learn to do these, I can figure out how to program other tasks. Thanks.

1+2) New Profile "Home" State->Phone->Cell Near - Under Cell Tower press scan and walk around the house to register a few cell towers.
Go to tasks and create new task "Enter Home" - New - Wifi - On
Repeat with a task "Exit Home" - New - Wifi - Off
Go to profiles long press "Home" select Enter Home as entry task and Exit Home as exit task.
Same logic for the others

I can't get the silent mode one to work. It seems pretty simple so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. This is what I'm doing
Create Profile - State-Power-AC
Create Task-Audio- Silent Mode On- Set as Enter Task
Create Task-Audio-Silent Mode Off- Set as Exit Task
Doesn't work.

I have seen in other threads that people use tasker to turn of their tablet when there is no power, for example when you turn of ignition in cars etc.
I want to do the same, since it will be getting cold here in a couple of months. This together with fastboot, will be good. But i see no option in tasker to turn off the tablet completely when there is no power present?
Anyone want to help me out?

I hope you're familiar with how Tasker works. If not, please read some basic tutorials.
Create a new profile State->Power->Power
On the State edit leave the Source as Any and tick the Invert box, so this works when it is not charging.
Create a new task and add a new action System->Reboot
On the Action edit view there is a Type selector, when you tap it you're presented with a list of different options, one of those is shutdown, select it and that's it.

I'm looking to do something very simple - just set the phone to silent without having to login past security? In my previous android phones, I can just press the volume down arrow until it's silent, even when I'm on the lockscreen. But this doesn't seem possible w/ the G4. volume up/down doesn't do anything on the lockscreen....
Anyone have any idea?
Have you considered using NFC tags to change the volume/mode?

It's not really and Android vs iPhone thing btw. The Oneplus X has a hardware button, and also my other android phones typically let me use the volume button to silence my phone even in the lockscreen...

Actually before reading this, I decided to try it out. I have it set so that when I shake the phone, it turns to silent and gives vibration feedback. Works well, even when I'm on the lockscreen.
Thanks.
