Media volume problem with headset - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

Stock Blaze that I use to listen to music on while walking my dog every day using headphones. But I've noticed an odd problem- sometimes when I plug in my headphones and hit the middle button on the cord (it's a headset with a mic and three buttons marked Play/Pause, FF and Rew) the music app starts up and plays whatever I was last listening to but the media volume has gone to zero. And sometimes while I'm listening the media volume will drop to zero for no reason, with no buttons being touched- the app is still playing but I have to turn up the volume.
I should add that the headset I'm using seems to work differently with the Blaze than it did with my previous phone, a T-Mobile G2. With the G2 the Play/Pause button worked as advertised, and the FF and Rew buttons on either side worked as next or previous track. On the Blaze the Play/Pause seems to work as advertised as well, but the FF and Rew buttons work as media volume up and down- sometimes- sometimes none of the buttons do anything until I close and reopen the music app.
Anyone else having similar problems or got any ideas? I use my phone to listen to music while waking the dog for about an hour every day and seem to have problems like this at least every other day- it's becoming a royal pain!

I'm having this same problem with my tablet, it please let me know when you find a fix

Bluetooth headsets with Rewind/FFW

I have a Motorola S305 and I'm using Mortplayer to listen to audiobooks/podcasts.
In the menu options, you can set the Rewind/FFW/Stop buttons on the headset to control the podcast.
But no matter what button I assign to Rewind, it just doesn't work. What is the deal?
I can set all three buttons to FFW and all three work fine.
But it seems there's something wrong with Rewind. Setting any of the three buttons to Rewind in the app means that the button basically dies and is unresponsive (until I set it to do something else).
This worked fine on my Nexus One, so it's not the headphones (especially since all 3 buttons work fine when used for other functions).
Admittedly, it was with an older version of Mortplayer, so perhaps this is a bug with the newest version?
Has anyone else run into this issue with the Sensation?

Music Changing Problem Solved!

I listen to music on my phone all the time and I really like how the stock music player responds to the headphone control. I'm using my old HTC headphones which have three buttons, and the default settings (actually there's no settings in the stock player for headphone control) is that the two buttons on the sides serve as volume button and the middle button serve as play/pause/next button. I love this because I don't need to reach in my pocket to change the volume or song and it kinda saves the hardware keys.
But I noticed a problem later: All three buttons work when the screen is on or just turned off (either manually or automatically), but the center button (play/pause/next) stops working after a while. The volume buttons are fine. I also noticed that if I double clicked to change the song, the music would just stop, but if I just turned on the screen, it started playing again (next song). So this is what I thought: the buttons sent the signal, the music player got it, but it couldn't do anything because the phone was "sleeping" after being turned off for a while.
Today I found this little app called "Headset Button Controller", which is basically a settings app for headphone control. It solved the problem perfectly! It probably works its way around the phone's power management. Idk. Here is the link to market: [damn I can't post it, you need to search it on your own] I'm on stock 2.3.5 and have used the stock Samsung headphones to re-show the problem and found out it's not my HTC headphones' fault. I believe there're more people in the same situation and thank god I finally find a way to solve it! Happy sharing!
Thanks would give this a try. Double click never work for me

[Q] Earphone controls don't work when screen is off...weird

So I have a weird problem with two different sets of head phones. One came with my S3 when I bought it originally that has two volume buttons and a third button plus a mic. The other set that I tried is just a random black pair I bought somewhere that only has one control button and no mic. I know for a fact neither set are "designed for iphone".
The problem I'm having is with my OPO while using PowerAmp. If the screen is on then the push button controls for play/pause/prev track/next track all work perfectly with one/two/three button pushes. But as soon as the screen is off the control button won't do anything really but turn the volume up on the music. Sometimes the play/pause control will work as it should with the screen off but only about 20% of the time. And as soon as I turn the screen on where I am on the lock screen, in app or in a different app the controls work perfect.
I never had this problem with either set of headphones in Poweramp or any other music player on my S3.
Any idea what would cause this or how to fix it? I ordered a set of 1+ silver ear buds for black friday to see if that fixes the problem or not.
bump, anyone?

Play/Pause Input Lag from Pixel Buds (wired)

Ever since I got this phone I've noticed an irritating lag when it comes to using the wired Pixel Buds' Play/Pause button. Sometimes it works right away -- I can hit the center button and my music is paused, I can hit it again and it plays. However, nine times out of ten there's always a terrible delay. Sometimes I can press the button and my music won't resume for 5-10 seconds. If music is already playing, sometimes it won't pause for 5-10 seconds. It doesn't seem to be attributable to any specific app as it does it to Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, and PocketCasts.
It has been this way between two pairs of headphones on both Android Pie and Android Q beta. Factory reset hasn't helped any either.
Has anyone else experienced this input lag?

Bluetooth music controller broken when USB audio is being used

I bought a Bluetooth controller https://www.amazon.ca/images/I/51rPNr9NjcL._AC_SL1000_.jpg to use on my bicycle so I don't need to unlock the phone and mess with the screen to skip songs, and it works fine when using a regular headset in the 3.5mm port. But when I use my Dragonfly USB DAC all that works is volume up/down and the play/pause button. The previous track button acts like volume up, and the next track buttons acts like volume down.
It works fine on my Galaxy S8. And this is not an issue with a certain app because I tested it on many music apps. It seems to be the phone itself.
Can anyone think of why it would be doing this, or any way to remedy the issue? Or is this just an unfixable bug?

Your is a rare specific use which i don't think xiaomi did ever test their phone in this condition, the only way to get it fixed is trying to report using their channels (feedback app, mi community etc..), or you can try switching to custom roms to see if it works fine there
