[Kindle Fire General] mrrush101:
Are you able to use the usb micro adapter wire and plug in a flash drive to it and copy or watch the contents from it on the Kinlde? Like the 10.1 tablet has a full USB so I can put my flash drive in it and watch movies from it and read ebooks.

I guess what am am getting at is I am wondering which 7 inch device is more like a full fledged tablet, or comes close minus the camera and GPS of course. Like I mentioned in an early post my girlfriend bought me the Kindle without me knowing but my friend said I could basically use his 10.1Tablet for life, LOL. But I would like to also have a smaller device.
[Kindle Fire General] Felnarion:
I can't for the life of me find the previous thread, but the gist of it was no, this is not possible out of the box. With time, with root, with a special app, maybe.
[Kindle Fire General] Thelgow:
This is a very rare feature. It's more along the lines not that the kindle cant do it, but that the tablet you speak of has that option.
[Kindle Fire General] skeeterpro:
Not really that rare. All the Samsung tabs I know of can do this.

I have also wanted my tour headphones volumes buttons to work. Thanks for this hopefully a solution could be near. :)
[HTC Sensation] tvkanters:
Dev of Headset Droid here.

I'd say it's a cool initiative to try to make the volume buttons work. The last time I researched the issue, it seemed to be a hardware problem at the 3.5mm plug. My guess for why clicking both vol+ and vol- generates a play/pause, is that by pressing them both, the play/pause button might actually be pressed. Of course, I could be wrong about this.

Either way, to give you an idea of what to aim for: Catching the volume button clicks globally is a lot harder than to catch the next and previous buttons in Android. Headset Droid doesn't support vol+ or vol- presses, but will only show play/pause, next and previous in the headset monitor.

If you somehow manage to get the volume buttons working as they should, the volume level should change as if you pressed the volume buttons on your device.
[HTC Sensation] exxpired:
Headset button controller app works fine with beats. My set up is long press to change track on either button and short press to increase/decrease volume :)

Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio
[HTC Sensation] loliman:
nice to have you here! ;)

i thought the same about pressing vol+ and - at the same time, bit i took a close look, the button itself (i mean the part of the button that you are actually seeing) is not moving while pressing both.

whats the difference between the htc buttons (next/previous) and, lets call them, "apple" ones (vol+/-). I read about how 3.5mm plugs are technically working and I cant imagine, that htc headphones are working THAT different from "apples" version. I had a nice article about that, I will search for it and post it here.

//EDIT: Can't find it anywhere... read the first post, I tried to explain it, hope you understand how it works. :P
[HTC Sensation] loliman:
Just some small information (sorry for double-post): Found this - reverse engineering apple headphones - and this today - reverese engineering htc headphones. It seems that it is indeed a voltage drop, that lets the system recognize the button-presses in BOTH headphones. I'll have a closer look in the evening when I'm home from work and will compare the results, if it’s similar, we might get it working by a software patch. :)
[HTC Sensation] tvkanters:
The second link is broken for me, but if the plug plays no role in it as you suggest, it does sound a lot more promising. : )

I'm still not convinced about pressing the two volume buttons not trigging the play/pause button, though. I've got some earphones with 'Apple' volume buttons as well (a-JAYS Four) and I can't reproduce what you're describing on my Nexus One running CM7.1.

I'll be looking forward to hearing what you find out later on. : )
[HTC Sensation] loliman:
Again some news and could be, that I need some help... :rolleyes:

As far as I can see, the current cycle in both headphones (apple and htc) are exactly the same, except for the different resistors, which would explain the different voltages.

Regarding code I'm stuck at this function in \arch\arm\mach-msm\htc_headset_mgr.c

static void button_35mm_work_func(struct work_struct *work)
{
int key;
struct button_work *works;

wake_lock_timeout(&hi->hs_wake_lock, HS_WAKE_LOCK_TIMEOUT);

HS_DBG();
[B]
works = container_of(work, struct button_work, key_work.work);
hi->key_level_flag = works->key_code;[/B]

if (hi->key_level_flag) {
switch (hi->key_level_flag) {
case 1:
key = HS_MGR_KEYCODE_MEDIA;
break;
case 2:
key = HS_MGR_KEYCODE_BACKWARD;
break;
case 3:
key = HS_MGR_KEYCODE_FORWARD;
break;
default:
HS_LOG("3.5mm RC: WRONG Button Pressed");
kfree(works);
return;
}
headset_button_event(1, key);
} else { /* key release */
if (atomic_read(&hi->btn_state))
headset_button_event(0, atomic_read(&hi->btn_state));
else
HS_LOG("3.5mm RC: WRONG Button Release");
}

kfree(works);
}

I tried to roll back the events that are triggered by a keypress and the different functions are (from the first to the last):

??-->button_35mm_work_func-->headset_button_event-->button_pressed-->??

But I does not understand how button_35mm_work_func "does know" which button has been pressed... I'm stuck there for the moment :x

I do not want to know whats coming after button_pressed, cause I think its enough to get the button working as next/previous

for the moment

. Then we can look into volume control.

If any kernel-dev would be helping it should be easier, as I said, I never worked with kernels before, still learning. :D

So far.

Any luck on this?
[HTC Sensation] cbarrick:
Any news? I'd love to help, though I've got no experience with C or kernel level code. How are you reading the headphone amperage? What about just writing a headphone button driver from scratch? I was just thinking simply detect an amperage change and pass that info up to handle everything else in the Android framework, but I'm not sure exactly how to do that :P. How have you gone about this, and if I were to experiment, where should I start?

I'm going to spend some time in this. Are you really sure that this is a hardware issue and not a software one ?

I think that maybe android kernel just ignore some input when the amperage or voltage is not as expected
[HTC Sensation] motodeveloper3800:
I think that it pay be software related. I have galaxy headphones that work with my Moto e 2015 perfectly(all 3 buttons) but my droid turbo won't interpret any button presses. However I hear a little click sound in the headphones if I click a button.
[HTC Sensation] Schrubbi:
I have an old Evo3D (which is very similar to the Sensation) 3-Button Headset.

Today I tried to use it on my new Sony Z3C but the Previous/Next buttons only changed the volume (which is what you want it to do I guess)

Even worse for me, when holding them down (for push-to-talk) the microphone stops working.

Seeing the exact same headset work flawlessly on my old Evo3D and now behaving like you want to on my Z3C leads me to the conclusion that it's definitely not a hardware issue of the headset :)

[HTC Sensation] andreidi:
Hey guys. I've been thinking for a couple of years about using different headsets with buttons on Android.

I have a Nokia AD-54 remote control, which I've modified by changing the GND with the MIC+ within the device by resoldering the wires to get the correct pinout in order to hear the sound correctly. The remote has a lot of buttons: Play/Pause, Stop, Next, Previous, Volume Up, Volume Down. I know that Android natively knows only the Previous, Next and Play button commands. I've been thinking about two options that might make any headset work with Android:

1) The most elegant is an app that acts like a multimeter to interpret the values of the resistance applied between MIC and GND pins and to allow us to assign different actions for various resistance values detected. I don't really know if this is possible, but maybe someone could do it.

2) The less elegant, but maybe an easier approach is to use the three resistances that Android knows how to work with (Play, Next, Previous) and to replace the resistors in the device with new ones of corresponding values. Then, for the other buttons, we could make further modifications so when a certain button is pressed, the resistance applied should stay on for a certain period of time (i.e. we add the Next resistance to the Volume Up button and we add another electronic component that converts a normal press into a longer one that we could assign a Volume Up action using Headset Button Controller from Google Play. Or simulate other actions, such as multiple times click, press and hold etc. My mind came across a NE555 electronic montage, but it won't fit the headset. Maybe someone could have a different idea.

i used gingerdx yesterday but it was very lag...so i heard i need to use cwm to properly install gingerdx (cause mine is v20+) so i search for rom manager (i thinks it's same as CWM ) apk's files ...i downloaded is and tried to search for my device but failed to , so i googled it and it says i need

''-1. Unlock bootloader

2. Flash Custom Kernel (sin file included inside the zip file, or ready made file here )

3. Install ROM using CWM provided with the kernel (after flash, switch on and keep puhsing back button until phone enter CWM Recovery mode. You cannot use xRecovery anymore... ''

i don't understand anything about what he said ...i googled the bootloader guide (from xda ) but it's so complex i dun even understand ...but then it says i need to do something called flash got this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashrom ... don't undestand!! okay okay no more complaining to sum it all up

1.how to use cwm on xperia x8? i cant find my model on the chart

2. is there a more simple way to bootload my phone?

3.what does bootload do?

4.what and how to flashrom your x8?

5.what is linuxDX for? i heard it speeds up your phone ...

6.how does cwm works? is it similar to xrecovery?

i tried to install gingerdx2.0 with xrecovery but it destroyed many of my apps and it's not smooth at all ... sorry for making so many threads...i really am curious of my phone and wanting to know all these rom , root stuffs ...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelikp:
I tot I already tell solution for your problem b4..

U simply install gingerCruz or whatever rom (which one can install via Xrecovery)

(I sure this rom have dual recovery(CWM & Xrecovery) pre install)

now when u sucess installing GC,

u can boot into CWM by pressing volume down button and/or tap screen

and now the time u can install gingerDX.zip

and make sure fullwipe after and b4 installing GDX.zip

let forget about LinuxDX or whatever kernel first...

(because u failed to fix simple matter (installing GDX))

so if u wanna flashing kernel, it most dificult than installing rom

so my advice is please pass this matter first

REMEMBER...flasing kernel U have to unlock bootloader

(your phone can brick if U done any wrong)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tohno:
ohoh i think i get you there ...u use a rom that can be installed via xrecovery and the rom naturally has CMW preinstalled yes ? and when i done installing( do i need to full wipe for this? ) the rom that can be installed via xrecovery press the close button long then the CWM will come up ( i tried b4 via cruzt ) then i enter CWM i use it like xrecovery , from there i install GDX and before installing GDX i have to full wipe my phone ...am i right??will full wipe clear my app? and what's GC?

is rom = mod?

and yeah i think imma skip kernel 1st too risky!

THANKS KLIP!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelikp:
1- u have to root your phone (find 'super one click' v1.9.1 and download)

-Go to setting/application allow unknown source, and usb debugging

-Connect USB (PC and Phone)

-"don't mount!"

-open SOC.exe

-Click ROOT

-Wait until finnish (done?) let go to step 2

2- u need to unlock bootloader (bootloader tool)

-connect your phone to pc.

-unpack the 7zip, and extract to destop, open the folder.

-double click "msm7227_semc.cmd"

-press any button and wait (done?) got to step 3

3- Download kernel (linuxDX isit?) and save to desktop.

4- Flashing kernel (flash tool)

-unpack the compressed of 'flash tool', and copy to your desktop

-U have to move/copy the 'LinuxDX.ftf' file to 'flash tool folder/firmwares'

-shutdown phone

-Run 'X10FlashTool.exe'

-click flash

-now U can see the LinuxDX on 'branding' tab(can?) (U almost done)

-click 'ok' (it should be a few seccond only)

-When the flashing complete (your got LinuxDX kernel)

5- Installing GingerDX by doixanh

-Download the lattest version (http://www.multiupload.com/NSLK4DAZ99) save to desktop

-install using CWM (step 5 U can find arround with easy step)
