Help Headset button control

[andersomel]

I have several apps for playing podcast, audio-books and music. My problem is that only a few is responding to buttons pressed on my headset.
The weird thing is that the behavior is totally random, sometimes DoggCatcher is reacting, and sometimes it do not. My guess is that some of the apps is hijacking the controls, or i have to do a restore back to factory settings . Any ideas how to solve this?

List of apps

• DoubleTwist - Always work
• HTC music - Always work
• Audible - Always work
• DoggCatcher - Dont work, maybe the first time its opened after an update.
• Audiobook Player 2 - Dont work

Hi there. The thing about headsets that are not created for any specific product (like Nokia and Sony Ericsson make their own headphones with controls that only work on their phones), is that they use a universal codex to control the music player software on the device. As you are saying its working on HTC music, there does not seem to be anything wrong with your phone itself. It is understanding all the codex commands coming from your headset, however, from what I would suspect, it's all up to the developers of the software you use whether their program will execute the codex order. So I don't think there is much you can do, unless you somehow find a program that can convert these signals for you so the program you use understands the command =/

I'm wondering if Headset Button Controller Headset Button Controller - Android will work for you.

I got it to work with Belkin Headphone Adaptor and Remote Control for iPod: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics though I couldn't recommend this headset adapter; the wire frayed within a few weeks!
