[Q] Skip song with the help of headphone?? - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
Yesterday I got my new Red Lumia 720. I was happy with the overall performance of the handset but one think I couldnt understand.. Why did the hell nokia give a low standard headphone (like those come with chinese phones) and it doesnt have a button.! How am I supposed to pick the call or skip a song with the help of headphone like I used to do in my Xperia Z... Will I be able to do it if I change my headphone with some other with a button to pick the call?? Now I m thinking was I right to opt for WP8 over android even when basic things r missing!

My ATIV S is perfectly happy to take calls or enter voice command mode using the headset button. I haven't tried skipping songs that way; my headset only has the one button (it will pause a song or start playing again, though). My recommendation would simply be to find a headset and try it before buying anything. Actually, that would be my recommendation for any product, including the phone itself.

i use the in ear apple headphones with my HD2

When you press a button on the earphones, it sends a high frequency signal to the phone through the microphone. But it's not in the listening area so you will not hear it..
I know that on one htc phone it works fine, can't remember if it's desire or wildfire..
But it could be awesome if someone added the 'functions' to the different ROM-build's made in here..
I tried with the one of nokia n95 and nokia 5800,but doesn t work.The music stop and play automatically

[Q] Motorola Droid Motorola HX1 - Bluetooth Volume Problem

Hey Everyone,
Admin's if this is the wrong thread please move...if there's already a thread about this specific issue please point me in the right direction...I've searched with no real answer...
Specs:
Moto Droid
Buglessbeast v0.4 (installed 08.15.10 via ROM Manager)
Motorola HX1 Bluetooth Earpiece
Problem:
I have very quiet in-call volume on my new fancy HX1 BT. I can hear just fine when walking around the house but when I get to driving it starts to get harder to hear and even harder when I'm on the freeway.
The HX1 is supposed to be really good and loud in general, even the built in voice prompts are REALLY loud in comparison to the sound that I'm getting when I make a call. I paired it with my father-in-law's old timey phone and it was louder than anything and worked perfect..I could hold it out of my ear and still hear what was being said....
I tried my moto droid phone with an LG BT device with the same result...I also get a funny thing happening when I hang up..even though my BT in call volume is all the way up when I hang up a call the screen that shows the volume of the blue tooth pops up and shows 1/2 the volume and then disappears...but the volume on the HX1 BT is still at full...
I made a video of the funny little problem that I get with the in call volume...I don't know if it has anything to do with it...but maybe it might trigger someone's mind into what the problem could be...
Since I'm brand new I can't link the video but if you go to youtube and search:
Motorola HX1 - Bluetooth Volume Problem
It should be the first one the comes up..
Thanks in advance everyone..
STEVE
Same problem
I have the same EXACT problem with my HX1 and my DroidX (android 2.2). Any solution? It seemed to work fine at first, but now, after about 3 weeks of use, the in call volume is half, and the phone shows the half volume dialog when I end a call. The voice prompts are LOUD. I have done a factory reset of the HX1 with no result.

Focus S Headphones Controller Not Working

The phone rocks, but it does have some flaws. Right now I can't seem to pause and play without pressing the button on the headphones like 2 or 3 times. I tested out a few headphones that I know worked on my old Focus and my iPhone and they don't work consistently either.
I also tried the Focus S headphones on my iPhone and it works perfectly. Anyone experience this?
you know i have, i've been posting (*****ing) about this since sunday I'm suspecting a major flaw in the design of the jack itself, but we'll see. The next track/previous track doesn't seem to work at all, and the pause/play seems to take some manipulation to work
this happens to me as well, kind of really annoying, and really my only gripe with the phone.
I get a popping sound through the speakers in my car (AUX plug) when I change from track to track. I am using the same cord I used to use with my Focus and I've checked my Focus S in both of my cars that have an AUX input.
Has anyone else tried this?
Plug your phone into your car using a male-to-male 3.5 cord and play your music through it. When you change from one track to the next you'll hear a popping sound. It's much louder in my Lexus vs my Impala but it's obvious in both cars.
I am also having both the controller issue and the "popping" sound through the speakers of my car.
The volume buttons seem to work, but the play/pause button only works when I hold the button for a second or two before letting it go. Because you have to hold it for a second before it registers, you can't use it to go back or forward through songs. I tried the controller from my Venue Pro in the Focus S with the same results, so the problem is probably with the phone itself and not the controller.
Whenever I have an AUX cable plugged into my car with the engine on, I can here a loud whining noise that I assume is the cable acting as an antenna and picking up noise. When I plug in the DVP, it seems to sort of ground the cable and stop picking up noise even when music isn't playing. With the Focus S, the noise continues when the phone is plugged in and only stops when music is playing. During the short time between songs, music is not playing and there seems to be a sort of noise spike that makes a "popping" sound.
I suspect both of these problems are related and have to do with the jack as jmerrey suggests.
I have been having the same issues with both the Car playback and the controls on headsets. I really hope they fix this major flaw. This phone will go back if not.

FYI I am using a stereo Bluetooth headset from Motorola and do not see any of the above issues.
Volume up/down, pause/play and skip forward and back all work as expected.

that's because the issue stems from the actual headphone jack, it's not a software or firmware problem, but a hardware issue.
Okay I figured out how to get the controller to work pretty much 100% of the time. You can't just press the button, you have to hold it down for about half a second for it to pause and play consistently. Any more or any less than half a second and it won't work. I've been doing this for pretty much the entire day and it seems to be working now. Little annoying that it works on a delayed press but its better than not working at all.
Yes, but you still don't get the double press for next track, or triple for previous track. I've been able to get the double press to work a few times, but that's it. I've also noticed that with aftermarket sets, like a beats headset, it's incredibly inconsistent. I really hope this is fixable with a software patch, but I'm not holding my breath.

I have only volume up on all type of press button.
anyone hear if this is going to be addressed or if it has been acknowledged?
thanks
I have the same problem with my Focus S. The volume buttons are working fine, the problem occurs only with the play / pause button.
If you want to play / pause you have to hold the button longer than just the usual
short click. If you know the trick it works most of the time for play / pause, switching songs with a double click is almost impossible and very hard to time.
I tried it with the original headset from my Focus S and with the Nokia purity all have the same problems.
I also tried the all headsets with my Lumia 800 and a Omnia W all working fine.
It seems to be a Focus S only problem, not sure if it is hardware or software related.
I'm on 8107 using 2103.11.10.1 Firmware would a hard reset solve the problem??
firmware issue
I have experienced all of these problems above and here are a few tips/fixes and ideas. First with the headset controller on the ear buds, I noticed if you press harder it picks it up easier. If you get it down just right you can time it for going forward and backwards. Still not a real fix. Its definitely the phone because it works on my focus, iPhone, and mac. Also, I think it may be firmware related because the popping occurs between songs for the aux cable in the car only when audio isn't playing, so I would assume it had something to do with the firmware, not the hardware. It distinctly gets quieter when music plays, even if the music is silent (just knowing something is playing is enough for it to shut up). Also I noticed that when I plug in my phone for battery, it connects, disconnects and then reconnects. I noticed this with the vibration (should only be once, actually is 2-3 times). And when battery is low you notice because you plug in, it disconnects and you get a notice of critically low battery, and then it connects. I think this may be the firmware that all the ports seem to turn on and off whenever given any form of stimulus (data or power sent through them).

Tango and the new Samsung Firmware fixed this issue!!!
Now i can listen to my music how it is meant to be!!!
:victory::victory::victory:
i got tango, but no new firmware. Which update updated the firmware?
I got Tango, but I had to hard reset my Focus S to get the Firmwareupdate.
Maybe because I InterOP unlocked my Focus S, I'm not sure why it worked after a Hard Reset.
My Software is now:
OS: 7.10.8773.98
Firmware: 2103.12.05.2
yes but didnt the LE2 software update disable your ability to interop unlock your device?
if we can get the phone accept our own signed cabs we can extract the driver updates, fixes and patches and ignore the diagnostic tool updates that disable our interop unlock method.
in short make a backup BEFORE applying any samsung OEM updates, when you need to interop unlock again, you can revert to your pre OEM update, apply the interop unlock again, then re apply the OEM update. from what i gather you are best doing this every time you have an OS update as there have been issues with restoring backups that cross OS versions...
Oh course you lose any unbacked up txts etc, but i think the benifit outweighs the hassle.

I got the firmware update, but it didn't fix my headphone issues. It is still incredibly unresponsive, and the annoying clicking that is head better via aux cable is still present. Anyone have the same issue?

[Q] Beats Audio

I'm planning on getting the HTC One, and a major problem I found with my last device was that Beats earphones with ControlTalk didn't seem to work properly, more specifically the mic and the volume toggle buttons served no function whatsoever.
So my question is, does control talk work on the HTC One? And is there any additional feature that comes with the HTC One that works exclusively with Beats devices, such as the device recognizing that a Beats device has been plugged in? (Obviously im asking because it comes with beats audio).
Thanks in advance

I got my one with some nice free solo beats, a case and two screen protectors, the headphones are phenomenal, but the buttons don't work, at least not at the moment anyway. But In all honesty, to get this sound for free, for me kind of overrides it.

I paid for my earphones, so that's why id prefer a phone in which the ControlTalk actually works...so what about the mic, does it work?

Mic works fine for calls and such if that's what you're asking. Just controls don't do all they could do.

and that would mean only the center button works, not the up and down volume buttons right? If i remember correctly, that's the deal with every android phone right? They're just not made to use 3 button controls.
And ontop of that, is there anything specific the One does for beats devices?

Yea the mics ok and the button for pausing music, not sure about answering calls with it though, i find myself shouting when i use headphones for talking, and i get a bit conscious about it. I know how stupid people look when shouting to themselves on trains etc, i don't want to be that person
i doubt there is anything specific for beats device
those 3 buttons only work if its designed to work on android device, otherwise only the center button would work.
If the mic and the inline control is designed for iPhone/iPhone compatible, then the volume control would not work on any android device due to the difference in wiring in the control.
There is also a problem with HTC devices that are jelly bean or above, google now will take over the long press function no matter what app you use, and double click would call the last person you dialed no matter what unless you install "headset button control" from market. The developer of that app included a fix for HTC device to work around the double click issue, but unfortunately that app doesn't work very well with the stock music app on the HTC One. Most of the command you make using the control will be ignored due to a change in the stock music app, and the developer said its a known issue with the HTC One stock music app, and currently there is no way to fix it. He recommend those have this problem to switch to other music player.

I just want the mic to work, regardless if i use it for calls. Cause in my opinion it just feels as though the earphones aren't being used to their full capability, they come with a mic...so there shouldn't be a reason for compromise. Beats aren't cheap, and id rather not have limited functionality cause because my phone doesn't support them.
All in all, when im listening to music and a call comes, its really annoying having to pause the music, take out the earphones, THEN answer the call. And if for some reason you forget to pause the music before taking out the earphones, the speakers will start blasting the music after the calls over, which is much more embarrassing.

One button is still better than no buttons on my current phone, and the fact that the mic will work, is the most important part for me. So as long as the mic works, and even just one button works, its worthwhile. I just feel as though im getting a combo, with the One and beats earphones, i just get a genuine feel that im using earphones that are made for this device, instead of the ill compatibility with my current phone.
As for the problem with HTC devices, i dont see that to be much of an issue, as Sense isn't that appealing to me and i REALLY like personalizing my phone (i.e. different launchers, music players, and even custom roms when the time comes) so i probably will download my own music player within a few days of getting the phone.
I know this might go a bit off topic, but essentially i need to choose between the One and the S4, and the tipping point for me is the beats audio on the One. Also, i think hardware's more important for me as i like customizing my phone anyways.
Theres just one question i have left, that needs a slight explanation. So i live in Canada, and im currently with Bell, but most of my contract is left so i cant get a new phone. My friend, whose done is contract and is happy with his current phone, is willing to upgrade to a new phone and give the new device to me, while he keeps his old phone. Like i said i need to decide between the S4 or One...or any other device but i believe those are the top 2. And the problem is, hes currently on Rogers, and the phones going to be locked, and im more than confident that these providers are not willing to unlock the phone for me. So the question is, which device do you think there will be an unlock for first, letting me use it with my provider? Im not into paid unlocking as i believe it is not currently illegal and sketchy, so which device do you think will get it first, free of cost?

When a call comes through, the music pauses automatically. I'm sure someone can map the buttons on the beats headphones to answer calls etc, if they don't work already.
Have you tried the headset control app in the market? may be of use to you?...
Love the Beats Audio sound! Especially via the Aux cable in the car. I've been able to get past the headphones functions with great sound!:good:

And when the call ends, the music turns back on. The ISSUE was that i would have to take out the earphones to answer the call, since the mic doesnt work with my current device. But as long as the mic works using the One, then theres no issue, as i can answer the call using the earphones. Thanks for clearing that up

Sony BTN-200 Bluetooth headset

Hi guys!
So, as most of you probably know, Sony BTN-200 became available several weeks ago. This headset features support of latest Bluetooth profiles and NFC Easy Connect.
Yesterday, I received it from Amazon. So far, so good. Although I have found couple minuses:
1. It only pairs with one device (in difference from MW600, which was able to pair with 2 mobiles and computer)
2. While connected to my XPERIA T the volume is very low even on maximum level.
So, with first I can deal, no problem. But the second problem is quite dissatisfying, I've tried several sound enhancements, nothing.
Any ideas?
And if any of you also have bought it, please share your experience.
Hi,
I have read in a different post,
That after trying to make a screenshot the volume suddenly became louder!
I still have to try this my self as I have the same problem with my bluetooth headset.
It is just not loud enough to be listening in the subway...
Never had the problem using same headset and HTC desire Z
I ll try it tonight
Cheers
Tony
I have to bump this thread up.
I've recently bought this headset and I have exactly the same problem as described in the first post. The volume is way too quiet but after making a screenshot it becomes much louder... this is really strange as the headset itself works perfectly with calls etc. I'm a little bit unsatisfied with the audio quality but still the volume problem is the biggest one as I don't want to make a screenshot every time it's too low...
