[Q] Atrix + headset button/media button issue

---

hey so i got the atrix and i paired it with my shure music adapter (its a mic with a button on it). i have been using poweramp but when i try to use the button during playback all i got was the option to complete that action using voice command or vlingo. I figured that maybe those were taking priority of the button or something so i stopped those applications but then when i pressed it nothing happens. a long press of the button also dials the last person called. I tried downloading winamp to see if it would work with that, and it does.. however it just does play/pause there doesn't seem to be an option for next track/last track. i know the mic/button works with my friends droid x.

So basically my question is....has anyone found a way to enable next track/last track using the atrix and any combination of apps?

That only works on apple branded products.

if you read my post completely you will see that i have tested this exact product with my friends droid x and i can confirm that it does work for play/pause AND next track/ prev track.

anyone else have any other ideas?

My apple branded wired headset paused and controlled volume with my Captivate just fine, too, but is not functioning on my Atrix. Hope there's a fix, it's nice to hit pause on the wire rather than grab the phone, unlock, open the music app, hit pause.

yea even more than play/pause (which did work in winamp for me) im really looking for next track/ prev track hoping it will be working next time some of these apps update

Funny I lost controls on my MOTOROLA S9 headset on the MOTOROLA Atrix. LOL go figure

Same issue with BOSE MIE2i headset - mic works, buttons do not. I hope for fix

for anyone else experiencing this issue here with poweramp i have just recently spoken with the developer:

Unfortunately, WinAmp uses old Android 2.1 API, which is used in PowerAMP only on Android 2.1.
For Android 2.2+ PowerAMP uses new headset API.
I think I will get Atrix in 7-10 days and there will be a patch immediately on market.
The sd card issue already has been resolved in current dev builds.
Thanks!

so hopefully within a week or 2 this will be resolved

same issue with atrix + mie2, just replied your post on the PowerAMP fourm
