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.

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?

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.....?

Chekout: Headset Button Controller
I've used it before. Works pretty well.
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.

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 there,
Has anyone found a pair of good headphones with a mic that are compatible with advanced commands such as volume up/down, next track etc.? My pair of Sennheisers can start and stop, but none of the more advanced settings worked. I tried various apps to assign actions to one button headsets and had no luck at all. Actually, even the basic functions of start/stop are lost when those apps are active. To my knowledge the only headphones that have been reported to retain advanced button assignments are these ones: Samsung ehs64avfbe, but I am reluctant to buy a Fairphone one the one hand and a cheap pair of headphones on the other.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Headphones update
OK, I took the plunge and bought a pair of Senheiser MM 30G. My reasoning was that I had seen somewhere that a pair of cheapish Samsung headphones worked well with the fairphone, and that the MM 30G had been manufactured for Samsung phones. The headphones have a three button command, which are supposed to be volume up/down as well as a start/stop button, which will also answer and end calls.
Out of the box the buttons actually did: next song instead of volume up, and previous song instead of volume down. The middle button for start stop works fine. This is acceptable for me, as I can change the volume quite easily even without taking the phone or of my pocket (the volume rocker is quite tactile even through jeans).
Interestingly, when using different apps to assign button controls I could get the volume control to work via the remote on the headphones, but no long press options e.g. For next song were available. I am thus using them as they are with no extra apps, as being able to skip songs while cycling is important to me.
Hope this helps a bit.

You know Apple's headset button has features like 2 click to next song, 3 click to previous song. Htc's headset has got button, but very useless. So its possible to do this with m8? Could we control songs? Thanks for your help.

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.
