Yes IF the app supports it.
I used to use Power Amp prior to switching to Google Play Music.
In the settings of Power Amp was options for headset buttons. Single click, double click, stuff like that.
Thats built into apples default player so everybody is spoiled with that option. But with Android its a bit different.

They do work on the Vibrant. As will any of the four pin headphones for the iPhone.
Ya I just bought the Klipsch Image S4i and they do not work on the vibrant... Im pretty sure a software workaround can work... I wouldn't know how to do it though... Any chance someone can write up some quick code for this?

The G1 had the same problem when it came out. It turned out to be software related.
The Vibrant is designed to work with any four pin headset. Alternatively you can get an adapter from Samsung that goes from the four pin plug on the phone to an in-line volume control/microphone with a three pin port on it.http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EMC40AONMEBSTD
Is there a link available for this software fix?
The volume controls and the fast forward and rewind would only be able to work with a software workaround. As far as listening to music goes, it tuns out Samsung switched the ground and microphone pins AND the laft and right pins. And because of that I have to hold down the mic button to be able to listen to music and still it would be backwards. Im going to either make a 4pin female-4 pin male adaptor or open up the S4i remote (really easy) and switch them around in there.

The software fix is the android 2.2 (Froyo) update. It hasn't been released yet but should be available in the next couple weeks.
Zaggs Smartbuds, they work with mixzing and the new powerAmp.

Sorry if this is an old post, but I just wanted to know if the controls on the V moda Remix Remote really work with the vibrant or is it just one of the buttons for answering calls? I am planning on buying the headphones. I would also like to know if the mic is compatible as well. Thanks in advance

I'm also looking for a set of wired ear buds with an inline microphone. I'm running Macnut R12 and was at yodabashi camera this weekend, none of the iphone headphones with microphones would work (Sony, Sennheiser, etc). :-(
Meridian is the answer.
What I've found is that any headphones with an answer call button works but I prefer using Meridian with my earbuds because if you go into the options and select "use headset buttons" you can get play/pause, skip and previous functions all from that one button by quickly double pressing for skip, pressing once then waiting a second before pressing again for previous and one press for play/pause. Works flawlessly with me and you don't have to worry about getting headphones with all 3 buttons since 1 button gets the job done.
Hey do you know if there is a way of backing up a playlist and saving it on the SD card or computer? I hate going through and making a new playlist everytime I flash a new rom or something. Thanks man......and I use Meridian because of you. I ride a motorcycle everyday to work listening to music now. It's so easy to move between tracks with the Mic button. Thanks again.

[Q] (Q) Way to control music *in pocket*

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?

headphones with media controls

Has anyone tested iphone/ipod headphone media controls with the note and do they work? I want to buy some headphones but most just say apple compatible. I know the 3.5mm jack is different from the first generation galaxy phones. I plugged the Note OEM earphones into a captivate and the controls didn't work. Thanks!
Hi, I tried a headphone that came with HTC HD2 and it turn out that this HD2 headphone can work almost the same function as the one Samsung sent with the Note. Only press to Play/Receive call work and FW/BW, they are working as Vol up/down.
have you tried the headset from the NOTE?, I can use it with beyondpod for:
. next
. previous
. vol
. pause
and you can assign the button for other functions...
I'm currently using the Note's provided IEM, as mine kind of spoilt. so far I only use it to increase, decrease volume, launch stock player, play and pause. Still thinking how to change sound track though. but yeah, it's working for me.
the beyondpod player responds to double clicks and long clicks of answer button, so you can assign it to FF....
maybe the stock player can use that clicks too....
I'm using my Shure 215 with the optional headset cable with a single button and it works fine with "Headset Button Controller" from the market.
Click = play/pause
Doubleclick = Next track
Click&Hold = Volumechange (set it to changing from 20-80% in x steps)
And you have call control.
What I still haven't figured out is how to make the samsung voicecontrol app start and work when the phone is asleep...
Don't know if there is any device without a apple logo that can use the apple compatible buttons (they would sue them

What do you mean optional headset? Where can I get this from?
I'm using the Audio Technica AT335i and it works well. Best thing about it is that it's modular, so you can use it with any earphones you like.
It says it's intended for iPhone, but as far as I can tell, all functions work fine on my Note (single click to play/pause/pick up call/end call, double click to go to next track, triple click to go to previous track). Volume control is just an analog slider so it works independently of the phone's volume settings.

I have the one button version.
With the other one only one of the 3 buttons should work on android.
Klipsch sell an Android specific set of buds called the S4A...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Klipsch-S4A-Headphones-Android-Silver/dp/B005M1KO1C
The earphones are single button and rely on a free, native Android app here:
https://market.android.com/details?...NvbS5vdXRzaWRlc291cmNlLmtsaXBzY2hjb250cm9sIl0.
I don't have the S4A's, but I just downloaded the app and it works perfectly with my Note and Marshall Minors (http://www.marshallheadphones.com/product/minor).
There's been lots of complaints about the Klipsch app not working with the Galaxy S and various other phones, but I can't find a problem with it on the Note.
*** Update ***
I just found the Klipsch Promedia's on Amazon for £35 (usually £90 like the S4A's): http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_t=3201&pf_rd_p=466496413&pf_rd_i=typ01
They appear to be exactly the same as the S4A's apart from the colour - this thread indicates they work fine with the Klipsch android app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20510095
I'm hoping they'll be delivered before I return to work next year
I have order one of these last week...hopefully the buttons will work ok

[Q] urBeats with HOX

Hi all.
I recently purchased an HTC One X and a pair of urBeats earphone with it.
urBeats earphone link : http://www.beatsbydre.com/earphones/beats-urbeats/beats-urbeats,default,pd.html
The sound is amazing and overall I am satisfied with the device. However the volume controls dont work on the one x. Is there absolutely no way by which the volume control can work? Play, pause, call answer etc. all work fine. I am using Android Revolution HD rom.
P.S. - I dont really remember but I think the volume control worked before the jellybean update.
Thanks in advance.

you should of gotten the HTC UrBeats, the UrBeats on the official website is DESIGNED for iDevices... This means, ONLY the middle button will work. and no, remote apps will not make the volume buttons work, they aren't even recognized by the android device at all...
You can use a remote control application which can make the middle button skip tracks (e.g press 3 times to skip track etc.)
Android's headphones/earphone remotes have track skip buttons and iDevices have volume buttons...
So there is absolutely no way by which i can makemot work.....?

You can also use combinations to change volume, and basically whatever you want.

I've used it before. Works pretty well.

HTC Headphone 3-button music controls

Back when the Nexus One was released, it came with a 3-button headset that included music controls for Play/Previous/Next. Because the N1 was an HTC device, plugging these headphones into other HTC phones also worked with these controls. On non-HTC devices, the Previous/Next buttons became volume controls while the Play button's functionality stayed the same.
The HTC 10 is the first HTC device I've seen where these headphone controls no longer work like they should. The Previous/Next buttons are now volume controls just like any other android device.
Anyone know if there's a file or lib that controls three button headphone functionality? Could this be ported to the HTC 10 from older devices and restore the Previous/Next functions?
If you press the main button two consecutive times you skip song, if u press it 3 you get the previous one.?

Thanks for responding. I already knew about the double-click to go forward and triple click to go back (though going back doesn't work on either of my 3-button HTC headphones). :laugh:
But I find double/triple tapping to be annoying because I would rather use forward/back buttons as they were designed. I was hoping someone would know of a way to restore this function.
