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.
The calls volume seems too low for me, especially in noisy environments.
Looks like there are many ways to amplify the external speaker or the headphones output, but no way to increase the earphone calls volume. I've tried Viper4, Extra_Volume_Booster in both flavors, but no improvement. At the best it modifes the internal speaker or the headphones, but no improvement to the earphone volume.
Any possibility to increase the volume of the calls volume in the earphone speaker?
Thank you guys.

When in call you can make the phone go a bit louder by using the volume keys (it is not much but a bit) also there are some more settings under Settings > Calls/dialer perhaps you can take a look there...
~~ Regards
Thanks mrjraider, but I know that, those are regular features of every phone. Those are all maxed and active.
I was looking for an application or a way to mod the xSP in order to get a louder caller earphone volume.

With an unlocked bootloader and rooted ROM you can use Williams or Doomlords kernel, depending on the ROM you intend to use.
Then install Fauxsound and increase all volumes.
There's really no other option that delivers the same results.
Thanks Gamm!
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?

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.

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
Using earbuds with volume control and microphone, I can't find where to adjust the microphone, and it's really really low. Is there a way to fix it?
My Device is Rooted

And I flashed it to 4.4.2
I tried using HD2 Mic Control, but it said I was missing proc/mic_volume
Hi, is anyone using a pair of Bose QC20 (the wired noise canceling headphones) with the XZ1 compact?
Back in the days on the Z3C the volume buttons would work but not the play/stop button, is there anyone out there with this phone and these headphones to see if all buttons work or not?

I just got the phone and can answer my own question: yes, all buttons work as expected. :victory:
I have sony 1000M2 headphones and it depends.
Original sony player - and all buttons works.
But with Moon reader pro (for books listening via TTS) only volume up and down works. Pause does not work (forward/backward in not available in Moon reader pro). And it worked before on Z3C and MM.
As much as I have read it is partly Google problem with Oreo 8 and partly developers... It is expceted that after 8.1 update it should start working again...
Yes, it works

I have Bose QC25, the volume buttons, play/stop button, and the in-line microphone all work. If you have the Apple version of the cable the volume buttons will not work.
