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.
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.
This is the kind of thing that makes me want to go back to Samsung, I mean they are the leaders in sound yet can't get music controls correct and keep a freaken standard. Last HTC I had came with a 3 buttons headset and through all Android did. With the One they give you good headphones but a single button headset and no way to skip tracks.:crying: I tried 3rd party apps like headset droid to make use of the single button headset but it seems like some clicks go unregistered, single click (pause) works, but when you double click all presses after that go unregistered and you have to click (pause) click (unpause) and then you can change the track.
I confirmed using the button monitor that clicks after a track change go unregistered which seems odd and I'm surprised no one else has this issue? This is with the stock music player.
When using Play Music and setting Headset Droid to specifically control it it starts to work like i want but weird the stock player canot be controlled the same way.
Complaints like this are stupid. It's just headset controls and if it is really annoying you buy a different phone.
I know it may seem a bit harsh but a complaint like this is a bit redundant.

I use Sony livesound and can skip tracks, the only down side I find is not being able to adjust volume anymore.

Why is it stupid? The controls have nothing to do with the phone. The phone (stock music player) has the capability its just the supplied headset are lacking. If they supplied a 3 button headset like most newer phones then this would not be an issue (brothers Note 2 three button headset can skip tacks when plugged into the HTC One). Last HTC came bundled with a 3 button headset and if the One did I would not have to resort to 3rd party music apps and apps to control a single button headset. If they wanted to supply it with a single button headset then the music player should have been modified to support it.
Sure I can go buy Beats but the supplied headset should be able to complete a simple task such as changing a track.
I wish there was a MOD that fixed this! Drives me CRAZY. And I don't want to switch music players - I actually think everything else considered, HTC's music app is one of the best I've used on Android

Bro, Did you fixed this? Drives me too, i'm always keep calling every last call.
Pffff drives me crazy, so ridiculous.
I wish there was a mod to bypass the damn default settings of the headset button. This way we could use Jays Headset Control app....
I gave up on it and use Google Music now, I really liked the stock player but can't complain with the recent updates Google added. I froze the stock player so it never kicks in
So it does not work with a 3 button headset, or you are just obsessed with the fact that it it not COME with one?
Because it would seem like a simple fix to just buy one, if the phone supports it.
I just used the 3-button control headset that came with my Desire HD (they're still available on the internet) and it worked perfectly as before. I can answer calls, skip tracks, change radio stations etc...
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
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
