Hey all, this is a quick question about the headphones that come with our awesome phones. I've barely started to use them since my main ones broke, and I can't seem to figure out what the button presses do!? Sometimes when i press the bottom of it, the volume goes from low to HIGH and my ears go deaf for a quick second :/
Then when i press the top one...it pauses, then with the middle area of the button, sometimes it skips the song or pauses it.
I am so confused, can any kind soul shed some light please? Thanks!

I thought I was cheated out of headphones after reading he had more than one, haha.
Yeah same here only one button

Same here, but there's 3...uh how can i put it..."areas"?? to the buttons. that's why (i assume) theres the 2 little dots on it. If it was one button, then what would even be the point of just having it!? then it would be able to do only one function.

Well that's kinda the point with headphones that come with phones they come with one button , and a mic.
The button usually has the funtcion of: redial, answer incoming call, end call, and sometimes voice commands.

It all depends on drivers. My bluetooth headset has one button too, but it can handle short and long press, single or double click etc.
Looks like Sammy headphones button has two options
-short press -> brings up call log
-long press -> brings up voice dialer.
maybe end call if you are in call mode.
so then what about the whole volume thing? i understand the whole concept of that one button for calling functionality, but isn't it werid that when i listen to music on my phone the volume totally goes out of whack?

What app do you use to listen music?
For me it always the same. Tried in WinAmp and Standard player.
PS. when in call log short press will auto-dial the first number.
Google music beta, stock, Winamp, and video player. it does it for all, and my itouch too. But meh, whatever not a big deal, i wish i could have changed to volume with it like the headphones that comes with iDevices. Thanks again for all that caller info stuff.

If I receive an SMS on just about every other phone I can hit the end call button and the SMS sound will stop; but it seems that on the XDA2 I have to put the volume all the way down... is there any other way to cut the sound when you are receiving an SMS?
If you go into settings/sounds and notifications/notifications you will see a drop down bar. You will find the sms notify function there.
Chris
No I know how to do that; but I want the sound to play so I will hear it, but once I get to it I want it to shut off instead of still continuing to play, it is like a 5 second clip, and if I hear it right away I don't want to listen to the rest of it.. make any sense?
Couldnt you use a sound file that has a short blip at the beginning then a long silence?
well of course I could use something really short, but I don't want to be checking my phone every 5 minutes to see if I didn't hear something especially in crowded places; I'm guessing that once the SMS sound starts it stops for nothing barring turning down the volume or putting it to vibrate?

I know what u mean. Just click down the volume "button" when it begins ringing. It is on the left side, above camera "button".
Satria
Do you mean to simply reduce the volume to nothing or does some of the ROM versions actually stop the SMS sound from playing when you click the volume down once?
For me I have no choice but to hold the volume down until the system sound is reduced to nothing, wait until I think the sound has stopped playing and then return the volume to the original level.
A real pain in the butt!!!
Yah I'm hoping a ROM version allows me to hit the volume down once or better yet hit the end call button like most every other phone to kill the sound once I know I've gotten a message.

Just one click and it will "mute" or "silence" the sound like in nokia HP when the sound was ringing. No need to reduce the volume to nil.
My ROM Vesion is:
ROM version: 1.03.00 USA
ROM Date: 09/24/03
Radio Version: 1.05.14
Protocol version: 1337.14
I think I know what you mean... the easiest way to do it is to press the power button
Cool that works

greetings everyone, I am quite new to the Herald. So please execuse me for asking stupid questions. When a call comes in, is there a button or shortcut option to use to shut off the ring without using the ring control slide/button on the side? I used to have a different pda which offered three choices when a call came; answer - ignore - shut off the ring... anyone, anyone? thanks...

there is still teh ignore button. not enough?
As papamopps says, you still got the red ignore button Then you can answer with the green, ignore with the red and just mute the ringtone with the slidebutton on the side
the ring
thanks friends, i thought the "ignore" option would send a busy signal to the user, thats how it was on my previous mobile. So I was kinda scared off by using that option. Sometimes, pretending that you didn't hear the call is better than sending a busy tone )) easier to deny the ignorance later on )
the ring
i meant to say "sends a busy signal to the caller" not "to the user". sorry...

by pressing the "commanager" button for more than 3sec it will go into vibrate modus. then the ringer is shut off. and it is only vibrating. it is faster then the volume slider

Just to be certain: If you push the red/ignore button the person who calls you will notice that you did so. If you slide the button on the side downward the person just think you were unable to answer (it just keep ringing)

As elsatani said all you have to do is slide down the volume slider on the side of the phone... am I missing something here. The only phone I knew where you couldn't turn off the ringer was the Excalibur when it first came out. Due to the touch slider you couldn't silent the ringer. main thing that pissed me off when that phone was initially released.
Hey, i'm running Windows Mobile 6 on my Apache (Thanks Helmi!) and I was hoping someone knew how to get that little headphone button on the mic to skip tracks on Media Player or Audio Manager (if possible) in WM6. Its a pain sometimes to reach into my pocket or hold the phone to switch tracks. I know that you can answer and hang up phone calls using the button but not switch tracks. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
i would also really like this feature, or if anything, someone explain to me the features that are accessible through the mic button. one thing i found on my own is that if you click the button 6 times quickly, you begin calling your most recent call in the call history. that has to be one of the most obscure things that i've ever come across, and despite my searches, i have not found one place which explains the abilities of that little mic button. does anyone know where there is a place such as that?
I know that pressing the button once when someone calls answers the phone and push the button and holding it will end the call.
a 5-second clickandhold ends the call, to be more exact
Once I saw mini usb headphones with inline socket or whatever to control player somwhere to buy.
Hello all,
Forgive me if this has already been asked (I tried my best to search for similar questions before posting this)...
Does anyone know how to make the wired headset button (a.k.a the Media Button) work with music player apps?
I’ve tried many… the button doesn’t work with any. I want the button to be able to skip, play, pause, etc. music like an iPhone would with its wired headset. Other Android phones can do this, but the Epic 4Gs headset button just brings up the contacts list when you press it (it also ends calls).
Thanks,
Ryan
No fix yet. Hopefully sammy fixes this with froyo or some devs fix this. I reccomend emailing samsung too and asking for them to fix this. Bluetooth controls work tho.

Ravizzle, thanks for replying. I was afraid of that. I haven't tried bluetooth yet though.
Do you (or anyone else here) have any recommendations for bluetooth controllers? I really need to be able to change tracks without touching or turning on the phone.
Thanks again,
Ryan
I bought bluetooth stereo headphones from ebay for 25 bucks. The model is LG hbs

You can remap the keybinding for the headset button, there is a discussion on android central (I can't post the link)
Basically edit /system/usr/keylayout/sec_jack.kl and change SEND_END to HEADSETHOOK (need to be rooted)
Would be nice if szomeone can mke a oneclick or app to do this

I can do this actually. It shouldn't be too difficult, but as previously stated, it would probably be a root-only app. I'm going to put this and other hacks/tweaks together into one app. I'll post the .apk and source code up on Google code too... again, probably tomorrow.

This kind of works, though it still seems to be a bit buggy. When headset is connected and music is paused hitting the power button shut off/lock the phone the music will start back up by itself without clicking the headset button. It happens with the stock music player and the music app by DoubleTwist for me.
If you do choose to do it this is what you get in stock music app: one press = play/pause, 2 quick presses = skip to next song and long press puts you in party shuffle mode (and it's hard to get back out of it since none of the menus show that you are in party shuffle. You have to turn party shuffle on then off for it to register it properly). In the music app by DoubleTwist you get play/pause with single click and nothing for 2 presses or long press.

This is odd, I don't see the same thing. In fact I forgot to mention that the headset button doesn't seem to do anything in the stock player for me, I've been using Cubed or PlayerPro and the functionality in both of the those is one press = play/pause, two presses = skip, long press = party shuffle (I actually never noticed this until you mentioned it).
And one more thing, if you change to HEADSETHOOK the button will no longer end calls while on the phone it will mute/unmute (I think this is more convenient anyway).

I guess I should have said I'm running the AOSP Magic v.3 rom with the Mix-Up kernel and am using a modified stock music app. I wonder if the rom has something to do with the music restarting itself.
EDIT: oddly enough the music doesn't restart when it's charging... curious
I've discovered that the music is restarting while the screen is locked and off because it's registering an event for both the key_down and key_up events (clicking down on the button as well as the 'click' as it comes back up after the first click). Still trying to figure out a way to negate the second click... I've tried using the WAKE and WAKE_DROPPED modifiers, but to no avail; yet. I'll keep experimenting.

I'll definitely try this when I get my phone back. I always change the keylayout on my android phones.

Hi
Can anyone help?
This is annoying more than stopping me using the phone but when i want to make a phone call the noises of the tone dialing when you press a number are very very faint, have to hold it to my ear to hear it, it wasnt like this yesterday??????
Have checked all the sound settings and volume and they are all high/max but still no joy, spoken to HTC who I could not understand, sounded spanish and he could not do it either...
Keypad volume is linked to the media volume, turn the media volume up in the sound settings and you should be good.
Already done that..... its on max and phone button noise is barely audible....
Just noticed its not just the dialing tones its also the little tick noise you get when you press any icon on the screen, thats quiet too
Have you dropped your phone over night? Is it running stock?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
My phone is standard.... has a few apps etc but thats it.
I did drop it a few weeks ago, no visible damage, but im quite sure the dialer noise and click when you tap the screen has just happened.... its not gone its just very very quiet... tried ticking the button to switch it on and off and that has not done anything either, HTC said they didnt know but to do a hard reset
Have you used the fm radio? Sounds odd but I used it once on either the desire or desire hd and when the volume on that was down so was the system volume. Stab in the dark
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
Ive never used the radio on this phone, i even removed the otter box case to see if that was muffling the noise and its not.... looks like a hard reset then!
Gutted mate, let us know if the reset works.

What do you mean about "its a small bub..."
I will try and find the app, thanks for the info
Just download an app called Quick Settings and adjust the System Volume to max and you can hear the screen taps and other sounds. I had this problem and that app solved it.
I don't know how but I've suddenly got the keypad sounds back at correct volume on phone dialer.. but strangely my qwerty keypad noises have not only returned but now sounds like an old fashioned type writer??? My 4 yr old was messing with it earlier, but I've checked all settings and they haven't changed..
I had the same problem thanks for recommending the app its worked perfectly Your my hero lol Seriously though thanks.
Thanks a lot mate !! Volume Ace is AWESOME \m/ Solved all my problems
