Francisco Soto Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hi!First: congratulations for your work developing such a serious and professional app. What a piece of art!My request: many people had three button headset (I´ve got soundmagic e10m, an awesome headset by the way) and I just can use its control to play forward and pause, also I´ve got some issues answering or making calls. I know its built for apple, but I buy it anyway.I think...I beg you...make your app work with this kind of headset on android!!Please consider this.Thank you Very Much!!pd: I´ve own a Motorola Defy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Poweramp2 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 That's just it, it's made for Apple. Apple owns rights to the functionality of changing songs back and forth using a headphones controls, so Android manufacturers cannot built their phones to have such a feature and so we cannot make Poweramp compatible. Sorry. I would love this feature as well, but it can't happen on Android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Not true. Both HTC and Samsung headset cables provide three-button controls for Play/Pause, Forward and Back (although Samsung software uses them for Play/Pause, Vol+ and Vol- by default, but that's easily changed though). Given that those two manufacturers make up the vast majority of Android phone sales now, I'd suggest this is now the de facto standard for Android headset cables.The internal electrical design is a little different from Apple's implementation though, which is why iPhone headsets don't work correctly for track control when used on Android devices.Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazara Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Apple swapped two of the four contacts of the plug. You can notice that apple headsets sounds less loud on android phones unless you press the middle button, then they gets louder too. You can read dtails about the changed pin-layout here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii/189523-final-soultion-why-most-headsets-wont-work.htmlSimply use an adapter to change the layout back to android style. For example I use this one: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B006SECMM6 with my shure 3-button-apple-style-headset-cable on Galaxy SBut this adapter don't bring the outer headset-buttons to function, only the middle button is working and the normal sound level is back. I tried to use apps like "Headset Button Controller" or "Headset Droid" and always found the outer buttons are still not working. It seems to be another hardware issue beyond the swapped contacts.

tazara Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Apple use a complicated electric signal for the outer buttons. Android only resistors. Look at this (I just found it, haven't tried till now): http://www.instructables.com/id/Galaxy-Nexus-and-others-headset-remote-with-medi/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Poweramp2 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yeah, well it gets complicated with all these different implementations to really find the right one and make it work. The trend for headsets that are made for Android seem to end at a single button pause and play.. that's why we added the double/triple click options in the settings.
