Good day to all,
This is a minor issue, but an issue that I've had for a few years and I thought I would ask here if anyone knows any solutions. Basically, certain earphones/headsets use (volume) controls that work separately from the internal controls of the Android system, and the following problems arise:
1. Usually, according to the manuals of a lot of these headsets, you have to press one of the buttons mutliple times to change the song. This does not work.
2. According to Android, you have to hold the volume button to change the song. This of course also does not work if the headsets use their own controls.
3. More recently, when I restart Spotify or the phone, the volume of the headphones will jump back to 100%, deafening me when I try to play something. I think there were also a few other issues, I can't recall right now.
I am thinking that the easiest solution would be to just force the headphones to use Android's controls, but I don't know if that is possible. Is it?
I could give you the model names but I have had this happen with different phones, different earphones and different Android versions so I know it's a general issue. A law just got instituted where I live that forbids holding a phone while riding a bike and I bike to work, so I can no longer use the phone's buttons, so I would really like to figure this out
