Hello, I have the Samsung Galaxy SII and Nokia BLuetooth Headset BH-609.
The headset has a very good performance, great battery life, but I am experiencing one big problem: its big button gets easy double pressed in my pocket and it redials the last called number.
If I put both (phone & headset) in the same pocket, there are 90% chances that I will redial the last number accidentally.
I have tried two applications but none of them worked:
- Headset Droid
- Headset Button Controller
Both are from android market and offer 1 day fully functional trial. None of these two apps allowed me to reassign the headset's double click action.
Do you know any workaround or I have to buy a new headset?
Thanks
Developer of Headset Droid here.
While I can't be 100% certain for your case, your BlueTooth headset most likely checks for double clicks itself rather than depending on Android to do this. After it detects a double click it just tells Android to redial the last number rather than telling Android a button is clicked.
This makes it impossible to catch the clicks and handle them in order to prevent the redial. I think your best bet would be a new headset if you don't want to unpair the headset from your phone every time.

Developer thanks for your feedback. I am thinking about ordering a new one. Do you know anything about Jawbone ERA Motion?
Unfortunately not. I don't really use Bluetooth headsets. All I know is that they're notorious for handing multiple clicks themselves.
My advice would be to go to a store and ask if you can test them before buying. You can use the headset monitor in Headset Droid to see how your phone responds to it. Since you're not really using using Headset Droid anyway, you can just clear data or reinstall after the trial runs out to keep using it.
Oh yeah actually I have few hours of trial left, I am uninstalling now
I could have sworn it was working with one of the ROMs, but I can't figure out which.
I've tried 3rd party apps like headset button controller but that didn't fix anything.

LOL, I was going to post the same question right now , not to be duplicated I'll put here my doubt...
I just buy the XT890 and i'm with him pure without Root nor anything, and I have a doubt regarding the operation of the button to answer calls from the headset. The problem is this, in both Poweramp and PlayerPro has the function of the double-click and triple-click to exchange music, only that in doing so he simply recognizes only the single-click of the button, then it just pauses and plays music, was then I tested the HeadsetButton Controller and other apps like that and only continues the same, the only thing that can be done is to replace the single-click for another function. I used two different headphones, a standard headset of a LG P500 and a standard headset from a Samsung phone and the result was the same. So I wonder if this is a limitation of the device, a limitation of Android Jelly Bean or may be defective from my device.
ps: excuse my english, because it is very bad.
Interesting (and frustrating).
I tried going back to ICS and the in-line mic was still not being recognized...
Looks like I might be looking for a new phone soon
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
Does anyone know how to activate a Google command using the Jaybird X2 headphones? My situation is when I'm mowing, I would like to be able to send a text or call someone without having to take my phone out of my pocket and use my sweaty gross hands on the phone. It has the microphone in it but when I push it, it doesn't do anything. Thanks!
I may have found my answer that you have to download some 3rd party apps to possibly get it to work the way I want it. This can be deleted by the mods.
If you have all the google options turned on with the phone you press the center button on the controls to access google.
It does not seem to work and I have all of the options turned on in Google Now.
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
