can't answer/end calls with headset button - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My cappy is rooted, but with stock rom. Originally, I remember being able to answer and end calls using the button on the stock headset / headphones.
Now, if I press the button, a media program such as double twist starts up. I have disabled the setting in doubletwist that mentions headset controls.
Shouldn't the button be able to end/initiate calls? If so, what the heck do I have to do to fix this?
Thanks!

Maybe a tasker profile can help you

Try un-installing double twist to see if it comes back, check all other music apps, also, did you mess with button re mapping in galaxy tuner?

looks like it might be subsonic. found a few other people on subsonic's forums that appear to have the same problem. doubletwist's option to ignore the headset seems to work. going to uninstall subsonic to see for sure...

In-line buttons of the headphones make calls :(

Is there a way to fix the in-line buttons of the headphones you get with the Diamond2 to not start calling people?
They are very sensitive, and I had some unwanted calls to people while listening to some music...
I can't find anywhere to configure this (WinMo settings "buttons" and "input" screens have nothing). IS there a way to disable those buttons or, better yet, make them useful for things like volume control?
same problem here, everytime i go by bike i call someone hitting the button somehow.
I mange to call people accidentily while walking down the street,
It needs to be able to lock itself while playing music or you need to press a particular button to lock-unlock.
I have a Noreve flip case coming soon maybe this will help to stop this problem.

if its not the headphones causing your problem you can simply turn your defice off while playing musik. it will keep on playing.
but the buttons in the cord don't "lock" if you switch it off
which basically is my problem

TouchLockPro locks all buttons, including the in-line buttons of the head-phones.
This solution worked fine for me and my Touch Diamond 2.

[Q] Stock headphone answer button is playing/pausing music

Does anyone know how this happened? I think the button on the headphones used to start voicedial, answer calls, and end calls. Now when I press it, it starts my music and stops it with another press. It's kind of cool but I'd like to know how to put it back. Thanks for your help.

[Q] MIUI and wired headset

Hi there,
I have a problem with my headset. I can only end a call with it. I am not able to answer the call nor play/pause function.
running *#*#6484#*#* the phone failed to correctly recognize pressing of the buttons with my headset. I correctly play music after pressing it once, but there is no way to pause the music, playing the music works only in this test menu, outside of that there is no action after pressing the button.
I am using Galaxy S with default one-button headset provided by Samsung.
All apps to control headset like droid headset cant recognize that my headset is connected.
Can it be fixed some how?
best

[Q] How can I manipulate the headset button mapping

Hi,
I know it is partly mentioned in a few threads already, but nobody explicitly asked that question (or answered it respectively). [It is regarded to the bundled headset, but applies to most 1-button-headset out there]
Status Quo:
- when I double tap the headset button -> redial + unlock the screen
- when I long tap the headset button -> Google Now opens + unlock the screen
- one tap plays and pauses music, but is also a very fragile setting as sometimes it starts a previous track or begins the track from the beginning
Problem with this:
- I have to unlock the phone and skip tracks manually
- I unlocked the phone accidentally a few times due to that setting
Question: How can I get rid of this very quirky mapping? And also, how can I get the double tap working to skip a track?
What I tried:
- Headset Button Controller -> Didn't work at all
- DoubleTwist -> Worked, but also everytime I skip a track it crashes the phone app and demands me to retype the SIM code
- a few other things, like flashing other ROMs and playing with a lot of settings
+1
Headset Button Controller works complete fine for me.
From 4.1.2 onwards no app can intercept long press it will always go to Google now, that how Google decided. Learn to live with it.
For everything else Headset Button Controller is the way to go
It will solve ur redial issue, just go to Advanced tab ->Advanced settings->Check redial fix
Headset button controller works but only for one action/ first track. it doesn't skip tracks after. any help?
I tried a few things but still could not skip tracks with the bundles headset. Most earphones out there cater for iPhone controls so they won't work either. As far as a I am aware, the urbeats and the specific htc e240 earphones work a treat. I bought the cheap
E240 set and they work great and also change volume.

[Q] [Problem] Headset button acts inconsistently

Hello,
Just wanna ask if anyone else got that problem. When I press the headset button (on the bundled headset) it either skips a track or jumps back or stops the track and I can't find a pattern.
Also on double tap I call the last number in call history and the display unlocks (this can't be intended, or is it?), also sometimes it skips a track or does both, there is also no real pattern.
Tried several things to fix that and also tried the headset from my old S2. Headset Button Control doesn't work at all and PowerAMP works but also crashes the phone app everytime I skip a track per double tap.
Thanks in advance for reply
