Galaxy S2 Earphones not working properly - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Friends:
I bought two new official Samsung earphones for galaxy S2 from ebay and whenever I try to change the song in the stock music player using the in-Line audio control button , instead it increases the volume of the song.
I even tried the official earphones from my brother's Galaxy S3, same problem exists.
Just as an additional information I have recently updated my cell to Jelly bean.
please advice.
thanks,
sid

Tried using an official earphone meant for the S2?

I think that's a JB bug....try ICS.
P.S. I've got official S2 earphones too,and when I press the buttons,it pauses the song for me...so,I think it differs from ROM to ROM

Yes the audio control button on the earphone is not responding properly.
On pressing it twice , instead of skipping it increases the volume of the song.
Before I updated to JB it was working fine. I have also tried other samsung earphones as well, the same problem exists.
Plus I have not rooted the device, its the official JB on the device.

U can't skip song using the controls on stock jb .I don't have an idea abt ICS as I flashed custom ROM on 1st day I bought my device.. To skip song u have to press twice/thrice play/pause button.
U can only use skip track using the vol button on custom rom
FYI m using stock note 2 earphone

I've a pair of official earphones and I have to keep the answer/end call button pressed to hear music from them. Very strange. I find it best to use standard (non phone) earphones with my S2.

What ROM allows for the pressing down of volume buttons to skip songs?

Hi guys,
I've flashed three different ROMs: Cognition, CM7, and Sensation by Crysis
However, none of those Roms offer skipping of songs with volume rocker. Do you guys know of a ROM that allows me to do that?
Thanks!

CM7 does.
Hold down the vol up or down and it will skip to next or previous track.

Hmm, shoot, I will try CM7 again. Is it a function I must enable in the settings? I tried it when I flashed CM7, but when I held it down, it just increased the volume.
Thank you Steve. Does it only work with the stock music app that comes with CM7, or will it work on Poweramp as well?
As far as I am aware its enabled by default in the default music player.
I've just checked and the screen needs to be off for it to work. Not tried poweramp sorry.
Hope this helps

Sound loudness between ROMS

OK so I know that the GS2 has the EU sound cap on it. And I know how to get to the service menu but that does t always work in CM10. My question is why is there no set sound level between ROMs? To see what I'm talking about, install Chameleon ROM and listen to audio using headset. Then try a CM ROM and you'll notice a huge loss of loudness.
Thoughts?

CM10 presently has a known volume bug.
You can use extweaks (with Siyah, dream or Dorimanx kernel) to boost three headset volume.
Or
download voodoo louder or similar apps to achieve that.
Swyped from my Galaxy SII
I do that but still not as loud as Chameleon ROM. Thanks for the info, Emma do some more digging around to see what happening.

Max volume on S2 is way too low, and the easiest solution for me was to use Voodoo Louder from Play market, but it's not a free app (you install a free app that will test compatibility and then you have to buy a license file to use it, and your phone has to be rooted).
Dorimanx kernel had the loudest sound

It wasnt always like that, and besides, why is there no difference AT ALL between the max volume and 7 levels below that?

Does it work with slim 3.1.0
It's a known bug in headset, you'll reach max volume at halfway.
Dorimanx 7.4.2 should be good for you and has headphone power and separate gain adjustment.
You won't really get any more out of the stock speaker though it's not great.

I had the same problem with Ressurection Remix 3.1.2 with CM10 kernel, and volume was really low... I'm on the leaked JB now (NeatRom Lite 4.0) and volume change all the way to max, but still a bit too low, and Voodoo Louder fixed max volume both in RR and NeatRom.
I would have tried the Dorimanx kernel if I knew it fixed the volume...
im using ExTweaks or STweaks for sounds boost

hi
the first versions of mxplayer had a possibility to increase the sound above the predefined highest level, which it was effective in some musics and videos, but there were also media files of which the loudness didn't improved.

[Q] Headset inline control - kernel support

Hey,
Can someone who has a headphones that have the inline volume and play/pause buttons working, tell me which kernel / rom they are running?
I actually had this working on my device and flashed a new rom (CM9) and now it's not working! Any insight?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Anyone? Just need someone to check if the play/pause button on their headphones is able to control the music. If so, just let me know what Kernel and Rom you're using.
Thanks.
The rom and kernel is in my signsture lol. It works for mine.

Thanks for helping out! I guess they haven't released that combo for the 5.0 player, though. :/
Using the headphones that came with my player (which include a pause button) I've been able to pause music in the default player for CM9 and Paranoid Android (a CM10 derivative).
Currently I'm running paranoid android with the pre-apollo music player from CM9 and have reliable pause/play support.
Previously I'd tried using musik-brand headphones that had both inline volume and pause/play buttons neither of which worked with my player.

Hey, that's helpful. Maybe the problem is not my device or kernel or rom, but my headset itself. I'm going to try some difference headsets at Best Buy today.
Thanks.

I would be interested in a wired quality earphone able to skip to next song and pause the song. Currently I use my Thinkpad earphones which produce much better sound then the stock Moto E earphones, but I miss any kind of control buttons.
EDIT: I now got a Xperia S earphone and it seems to perfectly working on Moto E. I now also understood that:
1 short click = pause
2 short clicks = forward to next song
3 short clicks = rewind to last song
1 long click = Google Now (would prefer forwarding, need to see if there is a setting)
