I recently purchased a Plantronics Legend Bluetooth headset, it has 2 buttons on it, one of them when held auto opens Androids default voice commands. This works ok but is no where as intuitive as some of the other voice control apps such as utter, I am trying to find a way to link the shortcut for utter to that button or a way to have Android launch Utter instead of voice commands. I am currently on the newest stock gingerbread rom for Droid X and am rooted.

On my bluetooth earpiece, tapping the button on it brings up the music player instead of voice dialing. Is there any way to fix/override this behavior (yes, I am rooted)?
thats weird cuz when i press the pause button on my ipod headphones it brings up dialer lol. i think htc got something backwards...
In my case it did the same thing on my old Env3, but I was hoping that there was some way to configure it on the Thunderbolt (even if it requires root).
It is setup for multi button-multi function not single,not sure how to change it on the custom roms but htc tech support will walk you thru it

Anyone using the razr headset with the phone? everytime i workout with this headset i feel like banging my phone on the blardy wall..
For some strange reason it automatically dials my recent calls. I think its something to do with the microphone..when i pant or take deep breaths the voice command thingy comes on, and sometime suddenly just randomly call people...good god its annoying as hell!
anyone know how to disable it? the only reason i use this headset over my seinheriser is cause its LOUD. when your in the gym you need loud bass to keep the pump!
Have you tried restarting the phone? I've had Voice Commands go crazy on me and not let me use my headset to control my music. A simple restart fixed it.
Have you tried a different headset? Maybe you got some sweat in the mic and it screwed something up. I've had this happen also. Do the Sennheisers you mentioned have a mic with music control?
If you're rooted you can freeze Voice Command using Titanium Backup.
Ill try freezing it and see how it goes. No my Sennheisers do not have a mic, thats why it does not happen when i use them, but the sound produced is softer, which is why i dont use em.
Restarting does not help.
Ran in to the same problem with my brother's phone; the problem is voice commands hijacks the headset button. There is an easy way to disable that, for those who are not rooted or don't want to freeze the app: go to settings, Applications and change the double-tap home launch setting to None. Now headset works as it should and controls PowerAmp, rather than popping up voice commands every time.
I had the same issue with mine. Freezing it with Titanium worked perfectly.
If you have an issue with it stopping your music as if disconnected it, I haven't found a fix for that.
And i always find best sony earphones with isolation and with noise cancelling, you'll enhance max trebles in sound settings, get PowerAmp to enhance on basses and for sake of this gorgeous combination forget about microphone.
Original earphones are always not good enough. Always must buy separately.

Use "rom tool box" and freeze

U can go to settings and changing the double tap home button to something else. Ur probably hitting the home button twice during ur work out.

Has anyone been able to disable voice commands on stock? It's annoying trying to use pandora with headphones that have a button because the voice command prompt keeps popping up. One work around I've found is to use Headset Button Controller app.
You can also use media button router.... its free in the play store... allows you to map bluetooth device buttons to a specific app or apps... necessity with the ICS leaks because android hijacks the play button for voice commands if you use Pandora or a third party app to play music...

Hi guys. So although I appreciate that google have added support for wired headsets into jellybean, unfortunately it doesn't behave the way I want it to. On my old Thunderbolt I installed headset controller and it worked great. Now what happens is when using headset control I get the function of BOTH the apply and the built in android operation.
When I single click the button it pauses my music and plays it, but the problem is with the rest of the features.
When I double click headset controller skips to the next track but Android starts a redial on my last called number ! Also when I hold down the button I want my volume controlled but Google Now gets activated.
Is there any way I can reassign these commands to do what I want and ignore the standard android commands ? I am rooted with a deodexed and debloated rom and cubed kernel in case that helps.
Thanks
Hey everyone, I've recently started using the HTC One but I don't really know what's going on with the controls on the headset that comes with the phone. There is only one button. One click is for play/pause, but double click redials my last call, instead of going to the next track. I've tried apps like headset button controller and it doesn't seem to be able to recognize my button clicks. Have any of you had this problem and what do you recommend I do?
yeah see here, It's the stock musicplayer that has the issue. Headset Drloid and another music app like Google Music were my solution

same problem here, i did what you mention, however, nothing happens, keeps calling the last person.
Holding the button for 1+ sec changes the track for me... But I have to be careful cause holding it too long brings up voice commands
HTC headset button - I can't get them to work properly
Hi everyone!
I was looking all over to find a way to use the remote controls of my Sennheiser and Urbanears Headsets with my HTC one for Music controls and calls reliably. However, I can't seem to get it to work and was hoping that someone here could help me out.
I really highly appreciate your help and I am willing to donate 10 USD for a working solution!
Phone: HTC One
Android Version: 4.2.2
HTC Sense Version: 5.0
Software: Android Revolution HD 12.1
HTC SDK API Level: 5.34
Kernel: 3.4.10-gd6147e
Music App: Grooveshark
I was trying everything I could find on the Internet to fix the Headset button behaviour. Two apps from the Google Play Store did better than the rest: Headset Button Controller and Philips Headset. However, none of them was able to interpret Headset button requests reliably. The apps would only react in about 5 % of the time to multiple clicks (Next track, Previous track, volume control etc). The authors of the app said, that my Custom ROM is probably the reason it is not working. Can that be true?
Does anyone know a reliable solution to use the Headset for Music controls or to be able to use it realiably with third Party apps such als Headset Button Controller? The intermediary solution I found was to interchange the key assignment of keys 163 and 226 - now I can at least Change to next track by click of a button, but thats it - no other functions with multiple clicks.
For sure the clicks on the button are registered by the phone - because I can see that it reacts, but for whatever reason only a limited number is actually interpreted by third Party apps.

If your phone is rooted you can try HeadsetMod from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423160.
EDIT : Didnt notice that you are using grooveshark app. Not sure if it works with that. Its tested only with the default music app.
Dear all,
I recently switched to the HTC One GE, from an iPhone 4, and I am having trouble dealing with the inline remote controls. In the stock android OS, by default 1-click pauses/plays music and 2-click fast-forwards. Three clicks do nothing but I really like the possibility to use that to rewind my music. Even if I download a third-party inline remote app (e.g. JAYS headset control) to do that, I still cannot get this to work, i.e. although the app is set as I want it, it doesn't work.
On a slightly unrelated topic, why can I not use 2 clicks to fast-forward when playing music from Pandora but 1-click can pause/play a song no problem?
Thanks!
Nicola
If you are using a set of headphones made to work on the iPhone then it will never work right and you will need a different set of headphones

I'm using the earphones that came with my HTC one so they should work.
And the 1- and 2-click options work just fine. I just can't get 3-click one to be set for rewinding music.
