[Q] Galaxy S - low volume on headset, unless holding the headset button

hello.
I have very annoying problem since day one on my Galaxy S I9000 with FroYo. The volume on headset(original) is too low, barely audible, unless I press and hold the button that is on the headset. I have tried to hook up stereo speakers with 3.5mm jack and they have very low volume as well. I have tried headphones from motorola and blackberry - same thing - low volume unless holding the headset button.
I have Hannspree Hannspad SN10T1 as well and it has the same problem, it runs android 2.2. No matter what volume boosting apps I use the problem persists on both devices.
P.S. Same headsets (samsung original, blackberry, and motorola) I used to test both devices - work perfectly on my motorola defy phone. So I presume that the headsets are OK. It must be something wrong with Galaxy S and Hannspad.
Both devices are hard resetted and non-rooted.
Any help will be apreciated.
Thanks

And you are sure that the plug is all the way down?

Absolutely sure. Even tried to pull it a bit, but then just one of the headphones working. The plug goes all the way down as it should, still very low volume.
I can't be the only one with two completely different devices running android 2.2 that share absolutely the same problem.
Is there any software that can swap channels on the headsets? or swap channel for the microphone with one of the speakers, because it seems to be non-propperly configured channels to me.
Any other suggestions?

the pin-out configuration for these phones are different from most and the only headsets that i know that are compatible are nokia headsets. theres also adapters you can buy that will convert the wires the right way so the earphones/mic/button all work properly.
this one is confirmed to work: http://www.meelec.com/MEE_TRRS_Adapter_for_P_Version_Headphones_p/adptr-trrs-35.htm

Thank you very much for clearing that out evil-doer !
I will try one of those.

I thought - when I had this problem - that my headset was defect. So I bought a new one from eBay.
Everything is nice so far - The new one is working great.
I hadn't the chance to test if it's working on another device.

is there to solve this through the service mode?

[HELP] Headset button not working

For quite a while my headset button hasn't been working. I thought that maybe it was broken so I bought a new one - a-Jays One+ but unfortunately it doesn't work either (the a-Jays Headset control doesn't register button presses).
Surprisingly my sister's HTC headset works just fine. So my question is where could the problem be located if anyone had seen similar malfunction.
I'm running CM7 Temasek's KANG 95 with newest EtANa kernel (no OC).

Even I have the same problem...
I am running CM9 with Spica's RC-1R
Previously it was working fine in my Stock Rom and CM7.

I'm running CM7.2 (but it also worked when I ran CM7.1) and I believe I have the same kernel as well.
My headset buttons work fine so far with a number of different headsets, however ONLY when you have a headset monitoring app installed.
If you haven't already installed an app search the play store for an app called "Jays headset control". It is an app made specifically for the Jays headsets but will work with any headset with a button.
If you are already using it then I have no idea and I'd say you're **** outta luck.
Also it's worth noting that due to a limitation in the O2x's hardware only single button headsets work. Headsets with a "forward, back and play" button will all register as pressing the "play" button.
One problem I do however have is the headset app will catch all my button presses however if I press the button once to pause my music and then wait more than about 10seconds to press the button again while the phone is "asleep" it will not catch any of my clicks and restart my music. I will physically have to pull my phone out, unlock it and press play with the app. So if anyone knows anything about that I'd appreciate some insight as it never used to do it.

I used Jays headset control and it didn't help. That's the weirdest things because it doesn't register the a-Jays headset clicks but does register the HTC headset ones.

[Q] GT-5830i and headphones

Hello,
I have bought last week GT-S5830i. I tried to use it with 4 differnet headphonies: Blaockberry, HTC and iPhone but i did not manage to make it work with mic button. (This all headphones button wes working with all phones)
I was googling but I can not find reasonalble exlanation.
Question:
Is that model using diffenret signalling standard or this is just a broken phone?
PS. Headset button Controller in debug mode does not show anything after pressing button.

[Q] Headphone 3 button controls not working

Hey,
I have been using my B&W P5's with 3 button control and mic with my Nexus 4 quite happily until i upgraded to the Z3c, however, now the volume controls don't work and the middle button only raises the volume, does anyone know if its possible to fix this, or even to reconfigure the middle button to skip instead of just raise the volume?
I don't hold out much hope in getting the volume controls to work. I've tried a couple of apps (Headset Button Controller) that claim to do this but no luck so far.

I have a similar issue. I've been using a Samsung headset similar to the one that comes with the Galaxy S4, with a three button configuration. The volume buttons actually work, but the play/pause button only raises the volume like with yours.

I have never managed to get volume control working with any android phone I've ever had. Really sad and quite stupid if you ask me. Some headphones that have apps obviously allow it, but using those third party apps has never worked for me.

Will listen in here, since I to have a three button headset that doesn't work. And the one I have from LG G2 turns up the volume with the middle button as well. And one tried the Sony headset on the Play Store?
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app

All my headphones with 3-button controls that are made for Android work as expected so far with the Z3C - with the HTC RC E240 giving the best quality to price ratio.
You can use the Sony Smart Key app to re-map the middle button. If all three buttons actually register presses in apps like JAYS Headset Control or Headset Button Controller, you should be able to re-map the volume keys too with those apps.
Of course no 'Made for iPhone' branded ones will typically work, as the volume controls feature patented Apple tech and custom wiring. Presses of the volume buttons will just not register at all, and can't therefore be re-mapped.
Any Bluetooth headset controls should work fine with everything.

I have the exact same headphones as you. I'm super disappointed the controls don't work. I tested and the microphone works but controls are the same as yours.

Hey thanks for the suggestion, i just tried the sony smart key app without any luck, by setting all the button options to do the same thing, lower the volume, i still wasnt sble to stop my P5's middle key from only raising the volume

I'd love to see a way to use 3 button headsets with this device! Will keep checking this

I have a 3-button headset that works perfectly with the Z3C, with Pause / Skip Title, receive / end calls and working volume buttons.

These look quite interesting, do you need to use any other software or do they just "work" with the Sony Walkman player?
Also how do the buttons map to the functions? Does the middle button do all of the Pause / Skip Title, receive / end call functions whilst the buttons that look to have track skips icons actually do volume instead?

It's exactly like that
This headset works out of the box, doesn't need any 3rd party app.

Thanks XQC, just bought a set
For anyone in the UK, I can confirm that the HTC RC E242's sold by Amazon UK themselves (they show as enhanced in the extra detail towards the bottom of the page) have track skip buttons that actually control the phone's volume.

Just wanted to say thx received my HTC e242 headset today and it works great. It's dazzling how these manufacturers don't use the same standard for such things...

Xiaomi Piston 2 controls working fine with walkman/poweramp :good:

I actually prefer the HTC RC E240 ones, since they don't have the HTC logo on them. Sound quality & isolation is indeed very impressive for the price. These are the ones I keep returning to for daily use ...

Hi, just wondering if the E240 works fine out of the box as well. Or there was some tweaks for the updated E242 to let them work?

No tweaks, they've always just worked OOB.

Alternative
Might not be the perfect solution but it's an alternative . Since I was really missing the three button control I decided to try it this way.
There are small bluetooth controls that Sony's brought out that do the job and depending on wich one you might get it has even more functionalities.
I got the SBH20 ( just google it ) for 20€ in Germany and am now able to use whatever headphones I want - Best solution for me seeing as I was very pleased with the Sennheiser headphones I had and didn't really want to change.
Thought I'd share it - maybe it'd suit you to

Hi guys I'm using the "Nocs NS500 ALUMINUM (ANDROID)", the website of Nocs says: "Sony Xperia Z1/Z2/Z3 - No support for 3-button remotes with 4 poles." It's possible to change vol. and sometimes if i fast push the middle button it skips to the next title. At my old HTC One X the right and left buttons changed the title and the middle one pause/play.
Im using PowerAmp and tried Sony Smartkey but it didn't worked. Is there any solution that the remote will work like on HTC or do u know other tools to try out?
Edit: Or is there a way to turn of the remote?

i am using sony mh1 with ec250 adapter it works fine

any way to keep google assistant and still use arg headphones

I have an issue and searched for about 2 weeks and still can not find and answer. Many have had the issue on different phones, but he only thing that seams to work is disable the google assistant app.
Problem is:
The AKG headphones that come with the Note 9 open the google assistant app when the volume up button is pressed. I have searched for weeks looking for a way to correct the issue.
things I have tried that did not work:
I have went to the assistant settings and disabled wired headset, removed permission, rebooted after changes but nothing works.
*The only thing that I was able to do to get the volume button working was to force quit and then disable the google app.*
I went through Settings -> Apps -> Google. I then force stopped the app and then disabled the app.
Volume up now works, but I do not have google assistant that I use for hands free texting and calls especially when driving.
Is there a way to regain the functionality and keep my volume buttons on he wired AKG head set working as they should?
Thanks

Firstly ,
i never use my AKG headphones with my Note 9.
I always use my U Level Bluetooth headset .
However ,after reading your post above,
i tested my AKG on Note 9 ,to see if i have similar results as you......
No ,
I found that it works as intended !
Smoothly ,no issues.
I ' m also a Google Assistant user .
i found that AKG up volume button , works to increase volume .
Down button to decrease volume .
One tap (middle ) for pause .
Long press (middle) launches Google Assistant .
also note ,
that i have not configured my AKG buttons at all .
I now used/tested , it for the first time on my Note 9 (SM-N960F)
My device is a no root , stock device .
Maybe ,G search ,for a 3rd party app that allows you to configure headset presses ?
I can remember, years back there was a button press option settings ,in device .
Don't see it now ,but might have missed it?
bottom line ,
'somewhere/setting ? ' your AKG buttons are configured wrongly ,as it works as intended .
Good luck .

Not having this issue. Are you using a button remapper on your phone at all?

Thanks for the confirm. I'll look to see what app is possible doing this. I wonder if it is a model variance.
I'm on the SM-N960U.

I don't think it's a model variance.
Have you tried the AKG with any other phone ?
If yes,
and does the buttons presses, react similar or "normal" as it should do.? eg
(Press up Volume up,
Press down, Volume down etc)
Secondly, have you tried any other earpiece /headset
on your Note 9 ? to see if button presses, functions similar to as your AKG ? or different?
If it functions /reacts similar as your AKG then it could be an mod /Bixby remapper eg like bxActions app etc /Android Launcher eg Nova ? that's causing it.?
Good luck

I tested on my S8, S9+ and note 9 they all do the same thing volume up activates google assistant.
I have Edge gestures, Nova Launcher, Button Mapper installed
I don't have either set to remap buttons any other buttons but Bixby.
But now that I remember I got the same thing on my Essential pressing volume up on wired headset caused this issue.
So to test, I turned off accessibility services for Edge Gestures and Button Mapper still get issue. Nova Launcher was never activated in accessibility services.
I tried with 3 different pairs of AKG all do the same thing the only other headset I had was an old iPhone (boo iPhone). of course they did not work for volume.
Looks like I will have to do a hard reset and install app by app to see what the issue is. I start with my S8 since it is my back up now.

Did some more testing and found it to be the AKG headphones causing the problem in my case.
Tested with the S8, S9+ and Note 9. Now I have to set up the phones again. bummer.
I did a factory wipe and only installed Power Amp (my music app of choice that i paid for). Same issue with volume up button activating google assistant. Used three other music players with same issue. Volume up caused google assistant to activate. No button mapping straight factory reset.
I scrounged around looking for and found some old Nexus 6p Hauwei headphones. Everything works perfectly. Volume up does not activate google assistant and all the functions work. They even sound better. Tested with all three music apps.
Pretty disappointing that the AKGs cause this issue, but i have found the problem.
I'm not sure why I'm having this problem and as others mention above they did not with their headphones.
Hope this helps someone that has this problem.

On a positive note,
at least you are getting somewhere with this anoying issue or getting some answers in solving, this issue !
I noticed that you use Poweramp music player.
It's also my music player of choice.!
I have the paid version and using Poweramp beta version.
I again tested my AKG with Poweramp
AKG working fine.
Up press, volume up.
Down press, volume down.
Middle press, pause.
Long press launches Google Assistant.
So for me no issues with Poweramp.
So overall,
I see you have found that with another headset, every works fine.?
So i agree it points to your AKG headset.!
Even though comparing AKG headsets
(mine and your AKG)
AKG should also work fine.?
but yours does not.?
Question is what to do now?
Maybe consult /contact local Samsung
offices in your area?
(Faulty AKG headset?)
Even though i have personally found this "route" to be a waste of time.?
Good luck
