Ciao
tHANKS FOR ANWSERING.
I have tried it with to roms: Rajus 7.4
and now with psidoc wm5 matrik edition...same thing in both!
Help..please!
Mapping the Headset button,
Actually, thats a good point, but i dont think it is going to be that easy. During a call, the headset button puts the call on hold, and is equivalent to the green button on the phone. As far as i remember there was a thread somewhere a year or so back, and no-one managed to get the button to launch VC. However... that was before WM6
In the meantime, i can only suggest mapping the backlight button to VC.. Thats how i do it!
for me, I just simply press the headset button, and it activates VC immediately. I'm using the Beasty ROM, and a Pantronics headset
Well I changed to the beasty rom, and you are right..it works!
Execept- The button still dosent activate VC, I use the "light" button as someone mention before (thanks), but now my earphone mic does listen to it.
So any clue as how to get the button on the mic to work?
Ideally it would work like this.
Press to answer phone
Press and hold to activate VC
I ride my bike everywhere and that is why this would be IDEAL
THANKS!
Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to map it like that, the headset button only recognizes press(or in my case, press and hold to avoid mis-clicks). I did it by mapping the button formerly titled "Record"(the one right next to the camera) to VC, and now it works like a charm. Maybe you should try that too!
That's odd - I've always had the ability to use the button on the headset to either launch VC, or answer/end a call without having to do anything special at all.
Maybe it's something to do with the headset you are using? I've got a few, and a Parrot car kit, and they all work in this way.
Cheers,
Steve.
Bluetooth & Wired differences!
Lets tidy this up. I believe that we are crossing lines a bit....
The BLUETOOTH headset button often activates VC... thats not primarily the problem. I believe the problem is the wired headset... that one is the one a lot of people use, and i havnt found a way to make that launch the listening feature of VC as yet.

oh, that.
It won't work, I'm afraid. That button only acts as an answer/disconnect button, no special functions, and it can't be mapped to anything...
Thanks for answering...so the question...or solution is.....
Whar are the best bt STERIO earphones the except VC buttom mapping?
Million dollar question...
Try googling around!
I can't recommend STEREO BT headsets, I haven't seen any so far, even though I know they exist. Right now, I'm using a Plantronics headset, which is very comfortable, but the transmission power is a bit low, meaning I get some static even with the phone in my pocket, and the headset in my ear...
Been googling..so far NOTHING!

I actually use a conceptronic stereo headset, and that works fine out of box!
I've tried a couple of headphone extenders with inline controls to try and get something to control music with, I blind-ordered 2 from Amazon.
o The iLuv iEA15.
o The Griffin SmartTalk
The iLuv has a central play/pause/skip button which works with the N1 music app but the +/- volume buttons do nothing. Triple-click for previous track also does not work.
The Griffin has just 1 button for play/pause skip which also works fine, it also has a built-in microphone which works.
So, looks like inline volume control is NOT compatible with whatever method the iPhone/iPod uses, but maybe this just needs a software tweak somewhere? (i might put a REQ into the dev. topic and see if it flies), but if you just want inline play/pause/skip with a microphone, then the Griffin looks like a winner. The iLuv has a much shorter cable and no microphone so is possibly more suited for in-pocket use.
I got MA850 in-ear headset for my itouch recently, and tried to connect it my Milestone 2 in the hope of getting better playback. I've heard in other forum that Apple earphone with 3 buttons behaves like the stock one-button headset, but it's not the case with Milestone 2.
The middle button does not work at all. The plus/minus buttons seems to have the same effect, just like long-pressing stock earphone's controller - they activates the player and make it jump to the next track, and they can also end a call. The mic is working.
Try PowerAMP of the Market i've seen it has a "Headset Button Config " i dont have a headset with buttons so i never tested it.
Power Amp can configure headset buttons
I'm a HTC Arrive/7 Pro and I love Windows phone but the only problem I have is lack of headphones support.Meaning unless you have the original ones that came with the phone you wont be able to skip tracks/control voume(Only button that seems to work for me when I try different headphones is the Pause button).But recently I seen this:

Klipsch made a headphone with 1 button that you can configure to the diffrent things(1 click pause/answer,2 clicks skip music etc...) so I was wondering would it be possible for someone to make a app like this for Windows Phone 7?
That would be wonderful & popular app for Windows Phone.

Same I have the solo HD and the controls work perfectly on my iPod touch 4th gen and my sister iPhone 4s but only the pause button works for me...not even the mic works
My motorola headphones work perfectly (they have volume up/down and play/pause), would be nice if you could change what they do though.

Have you tried to double-press the pause button to skip forward, and triple-press the pause button to skip backwards? Also, press and hold to initiate voice commands.
I've found this works with virtually all headsets. The only things that typically do not work are digital volume controls.

Appears to be a HTC thing... multi press works fine on the samsung and LG's...
Sucks for us HTC owners...
Best bet is to get a bluetooth adapter.. Sony erricsons MW600 is a good one... can use any headphones, volume control, skip tracks, voice cmds and it has a little screen that tells you what track is playing or who's calling....

Really trying to find a Bluetooth free solution.I use my phone ALOT for music and having Bluetooth on will just decrease the battery.
Bump......
Weird problem. Usually the Next/Previous buttons on the headset can let you move tracks backward/forward when you're playing music or listening to podcast/audio books. Some apps allow you to reassign them becoming fast forward/backward. The new Nexus 5 I just receive, the headset buttons can only do volume up/down, no matter which app I'm using. I don't see anything in system settings.
Anyone has same issue?
I found the same thing. Android support of headphones and accessories is terrible. There's no universal standard for three-button remotes and so far i've only found some Samsung earphones that can even do volume up/down. The rest only do play/pause.

The same headset functions normally on my Nexus 7 and HTH Inspire 4G. Is it possible LG doesn't support headset remote control?
