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?
Hey guys,
I grabbed a shinny new One today & really love it so far.
However its plagued with the same infuriating headphone remote problem as my older One X.
Long pressing the headphone button launches Google now(useless. rarely need it)
Double clicking redails the last used number (dangerous & bad design)
Its bad enough we only have 1 button, now google ruined that too.
Of course they are not easily re-configurable. Probably impossible without unlocking the bootlocker which I'd rather not do at this stage.
Can someone tell me once & for all why there isn't working 3 button headsets, with volume control for modern Android Phones?
Its 2013, & i'm still fumbling around with an expensive phone trying to skip tracks.
That's odd. The One S supported 3 buttons. I don't have my One yet, but I figured they'd support that. I remember using my Beats earbuds that came with the HTC Incredible on the One S.
EDIT: I guess in that sense the HTC Incredible supported 3 button headsets as well. I guess HTC got rid of that when they slimmed down sense to be more like aosp.
EDIT EDIT: I used to use Headset Button Controller for my Nexus 4. There's a free version on play store.
I use the Monster beats 3 button headset and that works fine for playing and skipping tracks.
Cheers

Just received these last week, the sound quality is great, the design goes well with the phone, and the remote and mic works perfectly.
Thanks guys.
I bought a set of these today. Luckily, the salesman let me try them in the store.
http://www.htc.com/www/accessories/htc-stereo-headphones/
They work fine. All three buttons. Shame non of my expensive headphones work but these don't sound that bad. Too much bass on the HTC ONe but thats for another thread
I was pissed the other day when I was on my motorcycle trying to use the button to skip tracks and I kept calling people.
The design of the buttons is faulty. Makes absolutely no SENSE at all.
Hope this helps
-Nokia purity hd and inear
-htc beats solo and htc urbeats
- souls SL99s (inear)
-nocs ns 200h (inear)
Also just so every one knows Nokia Lumia,Htc Samsung galaxy ,Sony all use Industry-standard headphone jack. So basically that means any headphones that works for one works for all.
The reason I know is because I tested in AT&T store. I own the Nokia purityhd and htc urbeats.
Hello,
I saw this annoucement today > Sprint Exclusive Harman Kardon Phone with special earbuds
This got me to thinking, a lot of the Harman Kardon earbuds have volume control and answer/pause/hangup buttons. In theory, the hardware on this edition is identical to the other HTC M8s in the world. This is technically just a software optimization and a packaging of name brand earbuds. So I wanted to start a thread for Earbuds/Headphones that people are using that have working volume controls on the M8.
I am using some Note 3 (Samsung) earbuds with volume and call button. The volume bottons (Up - Skip forward a track, Down - Skip Back a Track) and the Call button (pause/play music) work, but not as expected. I know it may be a combination of software and hardware, but figured there has to be some thing that can work on this phone. It seems silly to have a phone with superior sound quality on the auxiliary output as well as the front facing speakers, with limited options for earbuds/headphones.

From what I have seen in my quick study into both the M8 & M8HK firmware & rom, it looks to be 100% software. You can actually find all the references to the HK software & enable it in settings by modifying the existing xml in the ACC folder. It won't do anything YET, just enable the options in settings, but once someone has a chance to do some digging & testiing, I am certain it will be an easy thing to implement. There are also already a few headphones that will work with HTC devices that can control volume. There is a thread just like this with lists in some of the older device threads, like the One X, One + & One M7.
obviously the stockers that come with the m8 work. also i have used a set of jaybird bluebuds but they are full bluetooth however everything works as it should.
since trying the stockers out last night, i have to say they sound better plugged in compared to wireless (obviously due to better connection and amplifiers etc). this got me thinking what others are available. i have been looking at the bowers and wilkins c5 earbuds. not the cheapest not the most expensive available but they are advertised as apple compatible. apparantly when used with android only the volume controls dont work. has anyone tried these out on a android.
I purchased the OEM headphones from HTC's site:
http://www.htc.com/us/accessories/htc-stereo-headphones/
And even these don't control the phone properly. Which sucks because the website says fully compatible with the M8.
have anyone used the bowers and wilkins c5 earbuds with an android specifically the m8. would love to get these but a bit expensive if they dont work as they are advertised as compatible with ios devices.

That's one ugly HTC One M8! Looks like a huge iPhone 3g! I'm very happy with boomsound and the stock equalizers, music has never sounded better in my car streaming via BT. I've always used the latest Jaybird BT headphones. Once you go BT headphones it's hard to go back to wire/cord.
Volume control and play/pause should work with pretty much all headphones. Previous/next track and scrolling - not. This is because Apple has some very weird patents for music controls via cable. So nothing is gonna change in this matter anytime soon.
Not really true. Just about every earphones I've used that have 3 buttons don't control volume on Android, but they do on iOS. If they work on Android the pin out must be different.

That's exactly my issue. Stock ear buds that come with phone only have answer pause button. And any I've tried with volume only skip track. Sucks about HTC OEM stereo ones because I almost bought those. The search continues for volume control ear buds. I know wireless prob fixes problem, but I'm old school and like wired. Also, don't want to have one extra thing to charge. Still resisting Bluetooth as long as I can because most last 8 or so and I would have to charge daily. I use earbuds all day.

I've been using Sony XBA-2VPs on my GS4 (with volume wheel instead of buttons) without button mapping apps. Went to use them on the M8 and still works like a charm.
I believe a-JAYS Five would also still work on the M8 and that has volume buttons.

I've owned the c5's for about 2 years now and they work flawlessly. Control every thing without issue. And sound better than any other earbuds available imo.

Maybe it is the ROM you are using or a mod you are running because I have those exact headphones and they worked perfectly for my M7 and now for my M8. Play/Pause button, Volume Up/Down, 2X for Forward and 3X for Reverse, it all works. What isn't working properly for you?

Quick question: is the wheel a.. Potentiometer? If so, this has nothing to do with the phone itself.
About the apple dilemma: apple has a different wiring. Most of the headphone producers build for the majority, which they think are apple users. They have to decide. If it works on Android, the Apple people are mad. If it works for Apple devices, the Android people are: silent.
It's our fault.
Also, many OEMs that build Android devices do their own thing, which does not help, either.
It'd be nice to see some unity. But that's not going to happen soon, if at all.

Weird. I'm running Skyfall with barely any mods on top of it.
The headphones are working as follows:
Volume + = Next track track
Volume - = Previous track
Middle button = Play/pause
Are you running a customer ROM?

I have tried several 3 button wired earbud and volume control control don't work. Even my wife G2 has the same issue and it is stock 4.4.2. What I searched Google it is bug in 4.4.2.

I've had these for quites a while and love them! I hear ya on being old school, but these last 6-8 hours easy. They charge quickly and sound great. Volume control, water/sweat resistant, a little pricey but a worthy investment.

I'm running InsertCoin right now but they worked on the stock ROM also. That was one of the first things I tested when I got the phone. I work overnight and ride around listening to music all night. Having working 3 button headphones are very important to me.
Just chiming in... I just received the HTC RC E190 set from Amazon. On my M8, completely stock, AT&T ROM, with both the stock Music app as well as Play Music, the volume + button will skip back one track, and the volume - button skips forward one track.
I got the original htc earbuds and for me they just work great. first i use them with an htc one x+ but hey just stop working sometimes. but now with the htc one m8 they work all the time. there is just one thing i dont like, is that i cant use the voice control when the screen is locked. i think it would be great if htc gave us the option to activate this,.
the sound of this earbuds are just great for me, the bass responde is very nice, but now i want to try something like the Dual Driver 3-button Black (Android) from degauss labs, they cost like 100 dollars, or the Sabotage Royale 3-button Black (Android) that costs 60 dollars
i hope this can help you

I tried the Samsung branded headphones from the S4 with no luck. I tried another pair of headphones that only have a pause / play / answer button. They didn't work to control pausing or answering the phone.
The wife may have a set of Apple headphones somewhere. I'll need to find where she put them and try them out.
I just ordered some Motorola ear buds online. Should be here next week I'll let you know how they work.
UPDATE: I just tried the Motorola earbuds. They work the same as the apple ones. However they don't have volume control on the headphones themselves so not much of a solution.

JayBird Bluebuds bluetooth work perfectly! All functions, volume, next track, pause, google voice etc. Little pricey tho.

I just bought and tried out the Jays a-Jays five for android and only the middle button works.
Based on this and what other people said it looks like the only way to get 3 button functionality is via Bluetooth
I haven't really encountered anything like this. Not that I really try too hard to do so.
I've had the Motorola S11-Flex HD headphones for a while.
The good:
5-ish hours of battery life & very quick charging.
Pause; forward; back; vol up; and vol down all seem to work well. Forward and back require double and triple taps on the pause button... a little awkward while running.
I've heard no complaints taking calls on them either.
I find them pretty comfortable, with your ears holding the weight... might not combine with glasses/sunglasses/hat.
Seem reasonably durable, being chucked in a gym bag with shoes, lock, weight belt, etc.
The bad:
Not very loud. The out-of-the-box "ear cushions" are very thin, letting a lot of outside noise in. In a way, I like this. Running in the city, and I can still catch ambient noise like cars trying to run me over. Also, it's easy to have a conversation with someone without removing some heavy isolation buds first. Still, during podcasts or movie dialog in loud environments, they can be frustratingly quiet.
First set died after a month, but Moto customer service fixed me up with a warranty replacement.
Not the cheapest... amazon is slinging them for $65 at the moment. I paid $90.
I am using BOSE bt headphones and they were great
After searching the webs and finally even talking to some developers at Motorola I have come to this conclusion.
Best Moto headset
If you want in ear with best sound, these beats Bose on sound and price any day of the week. Also includes 3-button microphone "100% Made for Android"..
http://degausslabs.com/earphone/noir
Tailor your headset button actions
If you want to tailor the 'clicks' on your headset using your Moto, you can download this App, and tailor 1-2-3-4-5 clicks to do what you want. Brilliant and very well functioning and it is Free.

Nop, don't work....Hardware incompatibility
I've had my phone since January 2005 and I've been using the Bose in-ear earbuds since they came out.
My current ones are starting to show signs of wear (cable starting breaking down near one of the buds) and thus I was seeing on replacing them and keeping with Bose, since I really like the sound and the design of these earbuds. So I passed by the Bose shop and bought the Bose Soundtrue earbuds, designed for Samsung and Android phones, that come with a line in remote.
However, when I tested them out, the remote was not working. Pressing vol+ was restarting the song that was playing, and the same when the play/pause button was being pushed. The vol- did nothing. I tried using a third-party app to make it work (Headset Control Center from Degauss Lab) but to no avail, it did not. And to make it worse, the Bose Rep tried to call me on my phone and I could not even pick up the call with the button (middle one). In the end I returned my purchase.
So I'm bummed out. I have no clue what to do. I really like Bose and would like to stay with them. But if I really cannot get their earbuds to work... not sure if I will.
Anyone have any idea what I could do to make it work?
Or alternatively, are there similar earbuds (sound and design-wise) that would actually work with the Motorola G from 2014? I really abhor full in-ear earbuds for the closed out feeling I get when wearing them and the fact I'm less aware of my surroundings. I bike a lot in Brussels and I want to be able to hear what goes on around me (to do anything else is suicidal).
thanks in advance for your replies.
Bump. Is there really no-one around who can help?
Hey there,
I was using the same headphones from Bose since a year or so now on both Xperia Z and Z1C.
In mid August, the remote - which was working perfectly - stopped working.
I called the after sale services, thinking the something was wrong with the headphones...
They changed them to brand new ones that I received today. They don't work anymore.
Something happened between nov. 2014 and aug. 2015 ( my guess is lollipop - but I'm not even sure), and I can't use the earplugs the way thety were properly working before (play, pause, vol up / down - double click for skip...
This is a bummer.
I have a similar problem with Lollipop on my HTC One E8, with a single button wired headset: after the upgrade to Lollipop, the single-button control via my wired headset no longer works.
It never worked right without using the Degauss Headset Control Center, but before lollipop, using Degauss I could control it.
But since Lollipop, a single click results in multiple clicks - one, two, three, four even five clicks!
Even though I setup the Degauss app to map all those to play/pause, it sometimes it still skips to the next or previous track, and sometime it won't pause or resume.
I've been looking high and low for a solution, or others hitting the same problem(s).
I did not find a solution yet.
I gone and bought the Bose Sountrue anyways as I really like the sound and the way the earbuds fit in my ear. The mic works fine when I call and receive a call (I have to accept it from the phone as the buttons do not work). I do think it is a hardware problem of the Moto G so most likely will change to a compatible phone in the future.
