[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.

[Q] Volume control from earphones

Hi,
Just a quick question.
As this is my first Xperia (from Samsung) phone I've noticed that I can't use the volume keys on my in-line earphones even though it has the same 3.5mm pins combo.
Would it be correct that I'll have to use a 3rd party app or BT controls to achieve this?
Thank you

No you can control the volume without a problem. The only thing you will need a 3rd party ap for is for example to skip tracks while using the volume buttons. I still can't understand why Google removed that, or didn't implement it.

Could you let me know what 'phones' you are using as I can only get the play/pause/answer button to work?

Same here I got the free mdr-1r headphones and the volume button doesn't work!

I can't seem to get any 3rd party apps to work either due to Google Now appearing from the one button hold.

Hi.
With my iPhone I bought a nice monster beats earphones.
I tried to use them with my Xperia Z, but the point is that the volume buttons do not work at all... everything is fine with the play/pause one, but for the volume....
I tried almost every headset setting apps, and nothing works.
Is there any way to get iPhone earphones buttons working with the Xperia Z??
Thanks.

[Q] Low bluetooth volume (Navigon directions barely heard)

Hi guys! Need a solution or a direction to further dig the problem.
The issue: Navigon directions are barely heard on my car stereo via bluetooth. Music sound volume over bluetooth is ok, call volume too. There are separate volume adjustments within the app's Iphone version (system and Navigon) that are not present in Android.
Device: HTC One Dev Ed, stock 4.2.1 rom
Thanks!

Or maybe if TS gets to read this, did you solve it?

Nope. The problem is within android Bluetooth, there are rumors that it is going to be solved in key lime.

I did find that while voice is speaking (press the icon in the bottom left to make it speak) you can press the volume up. The internal app volume will then increase.

Thank you. Well, I think I've tried everything, including your tip, in vain. For now I am not using Navigon.

This bug has been here for a while. You'll just have to live with it. It'll get fixed sometime in the future.

Right now im using the Carbon Rom, really good ... problems with camara and sound ... but it seens that in the CM11 he as already found a way to fix it ...

Not all of them, Slimrom seems to have no bugs, but doesn't have portuguese dictionary spell correct and its not as easy as one would think to add a dictionary to the keyboard. back to stock again, discovered CM11 maclaw has a 1 second delay answering calls. now that I am aware of it, just too anoying

Mmmm the Slim Rom is well, lets said not my favorite...
But if the problem was a dictionary why just not download Swiftkeys instead of re flashing and all that stuff.
BTw I found that in the recently updates of the roms the bug of sound ( calls ) can be "fixed" if u turn down and then up the volume ... still annoying but it helps...

[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?

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
