original headset button - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

At first i was using the headset with music . and when i was pressing the button next to mic it was doing nothing. So i tought it was just because it's not compatible with the media player. But when i receive calls and my headset is plugged activating that button does nothing even if im talking with someone it doesn't hang up.... Basically that button next to the mic does nothing. Do i have to activate something or do i have to hold it for 2 min each time... maybe its broken ? but i bought it like 1 week ago and i pay attention to it... anyway any feedback is appreciated... Thanks

Are you using i9000 based ROMs or stock or cog? On cog roms, headset button has never failed me. I believe i9000 based roms have an issue with the headset.

well i am using stock rom, but i just rooted the phone (wich now looks like a failed attempt)

deactivate Headset Button

with two presses at the headset button you recall the last number
How can i deactivate this function.
If you hear music and put the butten by mistake, that is boring.
Have somebody an idea?
Please, please.
What do you mean with "headset button"?
Such a hardware button does not exist.
TDO
oh ye it does exist? on the cable "hub" of the headset, I've got this problem aswell
carrying a bag arond the shoulder putting pressure on that spot making calls to different people :/
getting tired of coming up with lame excuses for why I'm calling them from out of nowhere!
Should be able to deactive it somehow?
Very annoying indeed. Anyone's got an idea on how to disable this button?

Yes open it up and stick a piece of paper under the electric contact.
I have the same problem.
If you press the answer/hang up button on your headset twice you'll going to do a call to the last called person. I actually made a 3:rd call once by mistake during a call and have BIG problems with be sure that i end phonecalls by using a headset.
This sux. Also, the music player hangs and sometimes the phone if I got an SMS or alarm notification while music is playing. If the music player hangs, I have to re-sync the headset bluetooth devices with the phone. that sux also.
I find this an anoying feature as well. Keeping the whole set in your pocket will most likely lead to an accidental call...
Anyone a solution to this?

...programmatically.
He he what a surprise was when I was walking on a street n listenin to music n suddenly music stopped n I heard "hello hello are you there??"
Yep that sucks but I think there´s no option how to disable it..perhaps only that way what´s written above
Ok, see I'm not the only one with this problem.
The funny thing is that almost nobody uses the functionality, but everybody is annoyed with it
any sollutions yet, I really hate it
grtz
Would love to find a solution for this too
my button is definitely malfunctioning and activating without any button press. until i can deactivate this thing, leaving the headphones plugged means i'll call someone within a few seconds.

Since I lost my headset, I no longer have this problem now
if you press the headset button twice, the system will simply run redial.exe in \windows, so you can disable it by replacing any program with the same name that do nothing.
Mine annoyed me so much I pulled the front off the button and ripped the metal contact bit out. It worked, but isn't ideal.
I now have a wicked pair of Jabra BT3030's bluetooth headphone receiver and I love it. Much better!
i installed Total Commander an simply edited the Redial.exe .. after nearly throwing the phone out of the window..
PS. i know the thread is old but maybe there are still ppl looking for a solution to that problem just like i was ten seconds ago
Same here.
There are other threads about this problem.
Still looking for a solution like, let's say a registry hack that disables the headset button...
HELP

[Q] Skullcandy 50/50 Earbuds w/ Microphone and Sprint HTC Hero

So, I've searched all over, and I can't find anyone who's had this problem, so I don't know if it's just my set up or what.
I got a set of $50 Skullcandy 50/50's for Christmas from my fiancee, and they're not fully functioning on my Hero. When I plug them in, I get the indicator that shows the headphones with microphone on the top of my screen, but the only thing that works is the sound. I can hang up and switch lines with the button on the microphone, but the volume up/down won't work, and the microphone does not push sound through. When I push the volume up/down buttons on my headset, I can hear clicking on the other end of the call though.
Now keep in mind, I've tried these earbuds on a couple different phones, and they work just as they should. They worked on an iPhone 4 and a Droid Incredible.
Is there something I'm missing, or a fix that someone has found to resolve this? I even went as far has having my phone replaced, and it does the same thing.
Thanks in advance.
Also, I'm using the stock Sprint ROM 2.32.
I have the same issue with AOSP 9.9.2 and plantronics headphones with mic. If i figure anything out ill let you know.
I have the same problem with some scosche headphones. They change the volume skip tracks, answer and hangup, and I can hear people on the other end. Problem is they cant hear me. Mic won't function. And it only happens on the hero.
As far as I can tell, the hero is just finicky and doesn't like certain headphones/mics. doesn't matter what rom or kernel you use.
I just gave up on it.
Yeah, it's kind of irritating because I spent so much money on them. I'll just wait it out until I get a new phone. I just can't figure out how it won't work on this phone, but it shows like it should. It's just blowing my mind right now.
I have 3 different pairs of skullcandy headphones 2 pair of the smokin buds and a pair of lowriders and I havent had that problem with any of them on my hero...I have an Alltel hero and I switch Roms 2-3 times a week. The only thing i can think of suggesting right now is to plug in the headset with the phone off and power it up with them still connected.
Found something that may help..but I cant post links so go to your webbrowser and type in code.google.com/p/toggleheadset/ and download the widget. Hope this helps.
I have the smokin buds to and I love them they work well with my hero
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
So why will the Smokin' Buds headset work, but not the 50/50's? What's the difference?
thank you!

The widget didn't help :-(
Turning off the device and turning it back on with the headphones should work. Try it out. It actually work for me.
Weird, I have never had an issue like that and I have been through every ROM you can name.

[Q] How to disable hands free button press action

Hi
When hands free button is pressed (not during an incoming call) the music player starts.
It's very annoying because it happens every time I place my phone into a bag or pocket.
Does anyone have any idea how to disable this? Any suggestion will do!
(I own gt i9000 2.3.3 xwjvi)
thanks in advance
Handsfreebutton?
Hi,
What handsfreebutton are you talking about. I only have a posibility to choose for handsfree when I start a conversation. Maybe you have an alternate lockscreen where you can (de)activate this?
I'm talking about the headset hands free that comes with the device ... there is a button behind the mic, right? is the one that you press to answer a call. This button if pressed when there is no call, it activates the music player.

Headset button causing chaos.

I've owned a One previously. I got this one off ebay, refurbished. It works beautifully however, I have noticed a problem with the headphone socket.
When I connect a headset with a mic and button to the phone, the button will not function as it should. It will either pause/play the track (it does this rarely), as it should. But more likely it will fast forward/or slightly rewind the track. I use Doggcatcher and tried Pocketscasts. Both do the same thing.
If I speak to someone with the headset in and press the button to the end call, nothing happens. I can hear this hiss and hear mic feedback like the call is connected. The screen will not light up and nothing works until I perform a hard reset.
I blamed the rom, but I have tried 5 roms now and all the same. I have blown into the headphone jack and tried to look to anything odd, but nothing.
I've rooted the device, gained S-OFF, updated firmware to latest and currently running liquid smooth lollipop rom.
I just want to somehow confirm best I can it is a hardware issue. This means alas I will have to restore the phone to stock before a return however.
Any help on this is appreciated, it is driving me mad.
Bump.
I just need to try and figure this out so, if I need to, send it back if it is truly faulty.
Another bump
Someone must know about this, driving me insane.
Pressing the damn button on my damn headset will rewind the podcast by about 10 seconds or so. And yet sometimes it will work as intended. totally random.
I just need to know if it is a fault with the device or not.

Does it do it with all headsets with a mic, if so then it is hardware! If not, then it is your headset!
I've only tried 2 headsets, since that is all I own. Both do the same thing. I just wanted to clarify.
