Headphone control button not working. - T-Mobile LG G2x

I am having a problem with the control button on my headphones. I have verified that the headphones are still working on my nexus s. I have tried using the headphone control app to no avail. Basically it registers about one out of thirty button presses. Can anyone else replicate these results? I need to figure out if I have a bad unit, or if this is an issue with everyone's phone. Thanks in advance.

I had this happen also but atm im stuck in a bootloop and going in to get a new one lol.
I am not even rooted.

Let me know if the headphones work on the new one. I might be exchanging too due to terrible battery life.

So today I was skiing and music kept pausing and as usual the button on my headphone wire was ineffective. When I pulled my phone out to restart playback voice dialer was always open. I froze voice dialer and then it would just pause. Basically I need someone with a g2x and headphones with a button to control playback to test it for me so I know if I have a defective device. If it's software I'll wait for gingerbread or cm7, if it's hardware I'll have to exchange. I'm using spotify, but it behaves the same in the stock player. Thanks.

I also would like to know if anyone knows if the 3.5mm jack is configured differently than other phones (n1). I know different manufactures use different configurations, but I have no idea what is used in the g2x. I called lg and they just said it's a 3.5mm jack. No further information was available to them. Ugh. This is making me crazy.

same thing happening to me but when I unlock the device the play/pause control works again

Unlock from the lock screen, our unlock so you can use other networks?

Can someone please tell me if they have this same issue? I hate to keep posting, but I need to know if I have a faulty unit. I can't find any info anywhere.

Here's a bizarre solution. Pick-up the HP Bluetooth Pendant. It allows you to use any wired headphones via Bluetooth. There's two components - a 3.5MM base station to plug in to devices that aren't Bluetooth capable and a clip-on receiver to plug in the wired headset. You only need the latter. It comes with a pair of wired headphones but they're crap. If you're using them for skiing or outdoor activities it's kind of a clean solution so that you're not physically connected to the phone. The volume, stop/play, and forward/reverse on the receiver work on the G2X, I checked. Here's a link to a store that still has them (they're discontinued). You might find them on eBay too.

Thanks for the suggestion. The problem I have with a bluetooth solution is the fact that it's something else I have to charge. Additionally, I had a pretty bad experience with the motorola bluetooth headphones. The reception was terrible. The phone had to be about six inches away from the headphones for it to work.

I have the same issue, I bought some dr dre beats and the remote control wasn't picking up the button presses. When I unlock the device it picks up the button presses better. I thought I had a faulty headset so I got a different pair but same thing happens. Hopefully some gingerbread love will fix this.

I totally get the having to charge another device thing. I use it with my Shure 530's and the reception's great from up to ten feet away. It's just a receiver so the quality of the headset will determine sound reproduction.

Well, other people having the problem gives me hope that it's software. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I just tried my iphone headphones that normally work on my other android phones and the remote was not registering with the g2x. It's definitely a g2x problem. This sucks.

I don't know what to do about this. I spoke with reps at Klipsch and Jbuds and they verified that the jack is different in the g2x. Here is the link they sent me.

I have a pair of Sonys that have Play/Pause, Skip and Previous.
I could Play/Pause easily but nothing else worked. I sold my Nexus One before I could try them on the G2x (those worked flawlessly on the N1 vs the Sonys).
While I don't have a big need for headphones, I would like to figure out what works or perhaps getting software to recognize the correct signals from the jack.

I think that I'll need to find a pair if headphones with a compatible pinout, or some kind of adapter. I have been looking for both with no success. Why can't they standardize these things?

Just got off the phone with lg again and they are saying that the only compatible headset is the one they sell through their accessory department. This is frustrating as hell.

If so, I'm not sure if it will actually connect. It seems to be designed to specifically pair with the phone with which it came. In fact, on that page I linked there is a list of compatible phones and they are all Sony Ericsson phones...

-Naite
-Vivaz
-Vivaz Pro
-Xperia Play

Hmm. Well, what exactly do you mean by saying it was not fully functional with the Desire HD? I'd like to help you get this set up so I'm going to do my best but there is not a lot of information on how you would pair it. So lets start with the basics:
What happens when you attempt to pair it with the Nexus S?
i ment with not fully function i could answer calls and redail not mor than that .actully it has more functions with xperia x10 .but with nexus s when I searched with Bluetooth It could not detect the mw600.

hello!
I'm going to buy one, do you that the handset is FULLY and TOTALLY working? (dialing, A2DP, screen and so on...)
@kenvan19
of course only SE phones are listed!
Why should they list other phones which may reveal better than SEs?
AFAIK, even Nokia acts like this, along with Samsung, LG, Blackberry...
It's all about marketing
Everything is working perfectly, except that you can't see the title of the track currently playing on the screen of the MW600, and the phone number that is calling you...as with my previous SE X10 !
But the sound is very clear, never had a gap in one year of using.
ok, thanks anyway, guess I'll check out for something else :|

Hello sorry for my English but I found the solution for the Nexus S and MW600.
Just reset the bluetooth headset. A very long press on the power button and it's good (you must press the power button until you have an animation on the screen)
I did that there is an animation on the screen. After I ran the bluetooth turned on the Nexus S (I put identitifiable) and he found it in 2 seconds)
Enjoy

I am pissed...

I just now realized my volume rocker fell off and I have no idea when it happened or where it fell off. I had just made the decision that I was going to sell this phone and keep my G2x because this phone doesn't interest me like it used to. Anyone else have this happen? This is another issue to add to the list...

Mine has always seemed kind of loose. I will have to keep an eye on it. The build quality of this phone is nothing near that of my Nexus.

Actually this is not the first incident. I read about it on pocketnow.com and brushed it off because my rocker was only crooked, loose, or whatever you'd like to call it. Never did I think I would have this issue. Normally I'm with the vast majority of people who don't have problems but this time I got the short straw. I'm by no means rough with my phones so the "how" is actually pretty irrelevant.

examining the phone i dont see how you could of loss that with out opening your phone because its cradle down like all phones oh well your the first
The fact that any part of this phone can just fall out is inexcusable for a premium device. Sure, it could have happened when I was swapping memory cards this morning but the fact of the matter is that it can (and does) happen. At least maybe now people can learn to watch out for this type of event through my misfortune.

ok i just seen the article you were talking about on http://pocketnow.com/android/htc-sensation-volume-rocker-fail ill keep my eye on it thanks for your post
I once lost a screw to something (think it was a Playstation 2 controller) and about 3 weeks after losing it, I found it.
A volume rocker is not small enough to disappear, and if you lost it while changing your SD card, well, it's probably where you were changing it

I think I'll try my luck with going into a store and seeing if they have any returned handsets. If so, they normally don't have a problem giving the back cover away. I don't foresee calling T-Mobile doing me any good whatsoever. I just hope that this turns out to a fairly simple task...but I am disappointed with HTC's design now. Their products are normally second to none in my opinion.

My power button has sunk in, I hope it won't popout like your rocker. The back cover with it's bad aignal, wifi bug, lack of dust protection and faulty buttons, is turning in to a nightmare. I hope they are working on a new back cover or some one makes a 3rd party alternative.
I called HTC this morning and told them my color or paint was peeling off the back cover. They are sending me a Free replacement and should be here in 4-5 days.

You know, I was a very happy Sensation owner. I completely disregarded the fact that my first unit had a crooked power button and exchanged it for another with a crooked volume rocker. I figured it wouldn't be that big of a deal since I don't mess with the volume nearly as much as I lock/unlock the phone. What started making me choose the G2x over the Sensation was that I had both phones side by side yesterday and was curious about the wifi issue. The Sensation picked up and dropped the signal constantly whereas the G2x held onto it with full signal. The Sensation also was terrible with collecting dust in the case and that concerned me as well. Now, the volume rocker falling out sealed the fate of the Sensation. In the end, I have decided I will take software bugs over hardware. I don't have many of the G2x issues so I can wait it out. The good news is that my friend at T-Mobile told me to go to her store on Monday and she will give me a new back cover. I hope everyone watches this more and more because I'm sure this will become a bigger issue soon.

I seriously doubt it becoming any issue at all. I have 3 batteries total and NEVER plug my phone in. So basically I swap batteries that are charged only, opening and closing the case each time. I have done this dozens upon dozens of times with no issue at all, even upon reading this I intentionally tried to maul the rocker and nothing happned. Either way its a bummer YOU lost it, but call tmobile or HTC and tell them what you feel about the quality. Tell them they have let you down and your upset with spending that much for a device defective rocker/case. Goodluck.

SOL Republic AMPS HD
Ok got them in. The build is nice, very comparable to the iBeats that I have that are taken from a HTC Rezound. The isolation is on par with the beats and the SOL Republic Amps HD has 4 different ear buds to try out. More choices for a better fit.
With my excitement, I plugged these badboys in and opened up google music run a few tracks off of it and to my chagrin, the left ear was distorted! I was like all heck..now I gotta do a warranty return. I called Sol Republic up and told them my situation. They sent me an email on warranty return details. I then took a step back and try to plug the SOL AMPS HD back in and the left side had no issues anymore. Did it need to warm up? Who knows, the driver works.
Next, the fitment, with the supplied earbuds, it's really hard not to find a fit. And if you register with Sol Republic they will supply you with free earbuds for life. Cool thing to know... Also the pouch is neat too, kinda like a deflated thin kickball but the case works and has a cool to link to stuff like bags or a belt loop lol...
Ok, now down to the nitty gritty...the sound. How do these sound? GREAT. They are not for the BASS heads but more like the rounded sounds like Vmoda. They handle bass well, but that is not what the SOL Amps HDs are meant for. They are meant for pretty much a clear reproduction and are forgiving whereas you have to keep in mind you are listening to mp3. But comparing it to my Rezound iBeats, which are indeed top heavy on the bass compared to the SOL Amps HD that are not. But don't get me wrong, you max out the volume and you can still hear the tracks pretty damn clear.
As for the three button functionality, keep in mind the box indicates that the AMPS HD are for iphones and ipods. But in using them in calling the mic works from what I can tell when I call into tmobile to get my minutes and such. BUT only the middle button works for our phones. Pair the headphones with the jays headset app from the market (free) and you can use the middle button for other things than just call and hang up the phone. With the app, you can adust the volume and actually skip tracks as well. So the other buttons are not missed. Admittingly the center button does get kind of annoying, compared to a dedicated volume button. But I don't mind it.
Bottom line would I recommend this? Yes for an alternative to the heavy bass headphones in the market today. I have my go-to over the ear headphones, the v-moda crossfades lps and they are a dream to listen to. Clear as day and not heavy in the bass, much like these SOL Amps HDs. I have to preface the recommendation with that I did NOT pay full retail (99usd) in like best buy or the like. So if you can get it cheaper than retail, it's worth every penny.
Anyway, here are pics....questions anyone?
EDIT: Upon my initial use of the AMPS HD, I did contact Sol Republic on the issue and they had been more than accommodating in getting my issue resolved. KUDOS to them and their awesome service, email communication-wise and phone-wise. Yes I did call them .

Strange since the phone comes with a wired headset so the support must be there. I assume the earbuds have a mic? I just tried my Sony earbuds and they seem to work fine. My guess is that it's something with the Beats that is causing the issue.
And since there are few to no other status symbol goods that spark things up as much as beats....

It's no status symbol when everyone and their mother has a pair. Then they're just headphones that sound like fart.

It's no status symbol when everyone and their mother has a pair. Then they're just headphones that sound like fart.

LOL, I have to agree with you guys & I have a pair of the Studios.
I use two pairs of v-moda's at work (the LP2's & the V-80's). The more I listen to them, the worse the Beats sound to me........

buy sennheiser.
there is no possible reason whatsoever for them to not work. headphones are headphones, if it fits in the jack it will do the same thing as anything else, just with terrible sound quality.

Beats are all hype...i have a pair of klipsch s4's that cant be touched for the $.
The HTC Rezound works because Beats comes pre-loaded and the phone is even sold with a pair of beats headphones...
You want to know why your headphones don't work?
Beats me!:angel:
The headphones themselves work but the buttons don't because I got mine replaced with real ibeats

Nokia wireless charging works.

Just got the n4 today. My Nokia wireless charger works fine.
You can buy it at Att or Verizon or Tmobile I'm guessing.

One thing to be aware of, I tried a Nokia DT-900 at my local Verizon store. Had the same exact experience outlined here.
Yea just a little bit. No big deal

Exactly what I'm thinking. Haven't found anywhere online with them in stock though. Amazon, T-Mobile, and AT&T all list it as backordered or something similar. My corporate discount gets 25% off at Verizon, but they only have the flat one right now, sadly.

so it doesnt work? Disconnecting randomly isnt doing what its supposed to do. I dont consider it working unless it works like normal.
I bought the JBL PowerUp speaker, also made for the lumia... Same issue with disconnecting. (( I'm so frustrated.

im wondering if maybe using a high power (2-3 amp) USB adapter would make a difference.. like the ipad charger
amperage too low?
I'm hardly an engineer, but the specs say the DT-900 is only 300ma. Maybe that's causing the problem with the N4.
I tired both the Nokia puck and the JBL speakers in a Verizon store. Both had the infamous charging/not charging problem.
It's a no-go for either I'm afraid. I can assume the same for the Fatboy pillow too...

Why is the thread titled "Nokia wireless charging works." If it doesn't? :screwy:

The charger works perfectly fine, you just have to make sure that the nexus 4 isn't sliding off because of the glass back. That'd what was causing it to connect/disconnect for me. Works great after I just put a piece of microfiber cloth on it before laying the phone down.

PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!
I tired it in the store including holding it still and steady in every position imaginable and I still got the charging on and off cycling of doom.
So seriously, please post photos or a video.

yes, i would love if you can prove that it works.... i can pick up a nokia charger on the cheap..
I wonder if it makes a difference that he is using the dock as opposed to the pad? Thoughts
I've seen it mentioned that the reliability of the charging depends on whether NFC is turned on or off. Think it was mentioned by someone on Engadget. Not sure how that would affect the Qi charging, but worth a shot I suppose.

Can anyone post some visual proof before people run out to get this thing, spend their cash and find out they got trolled...

Love how " Droidz" disappeared when asked to take a pic/video as proof since everyone else had experienced the disconnect/connect issue... So I call bull until he provides proof. Don't waste you time or cash until he does.

Guys, it very may work for Droidz, if you read The Verge's report you will notice that the charging issue seems to not affect ALL Nexus 4's, read below is an excerpt from The Verge's article
""The Nexus 4 and the Nokia DT-900 are supposed to properly work together," says Menno Treffers, chairman of the Wireless Power Consortium. Indeed, not everyone is having trouble pairing the Nexus 4 to the DT-900: Engadget reported success, for instance. But a single bad experience instills doubt in a standard that needs as much traction as it can get early on in the game."
