Hey, my question is as follows:
I bought the PX200 IIi headset, which I kinda like, but the mic is not working in itself. It does not work because it uses the Apple standards. I did my research, the best option seems to be buying an adapter, that will make it work on any android phone. For example, THIS seems to do the trick for some ppl. Will it work in my case? Is it the best solution? Is there a cheaper(6,5$ for an adapter...) solution? I would try it, but the only option is to order it, I did not find any store with theese.
Thanks in advance, cheers
hey have you managed to sort this thing out ?
I' m searching for headphones and i am thinking of should i go for the px 200 II or go for the px 200 IIi ? Is it worth spending some euros more and having the mic but being unable to control the sound from the controller ?
Have you tried any of those app's that allows you to modify the action of the headset's controls ?

Since I bought a Nexus 4 meanwhile, I had to recheck, I forgot what is working and what is not on the Desire S (keep in mind I flashed Endymion ROM, to have a device with android 2.3.x for app testing purposes, so no idea how other ROMs behave):
- the microphone is suprisely working, I remembered it wasn't
- the volume buttons are not working
- the play-pause button seems to not work on default music player, but if I remember correctly, it worked with Poweramp.
However, I bought the Nexus 4 meanwhile, things are a little bit different: microphone is working flawlessly, play-pause button is working flawlessly, but volume buttons are still not. I guess it is a hardware issue, since I wrote a mini application to test if _ANY_ headset buttons are getting clicked, it should at least respond with a text, that "Button with id 37482343289 clicked.", and the app doesn't intercept any click events on volume buttons.
No, I did not tried any of those apps, since it seems to be a hardware issue, I doubt any software could solve it, but I can be wrong. The best tip I have for you is: give it a try before you buy it, if it works, it is definitely useful.

I recently bought Sony Ericsson MW600 BT headset and I've been using it for about a day. I can tell you that the sound quality quite good (using my Sennheiser earphones) for a stereo BT headset although audiophiles may disagree
Pairing was child's play.
The good thing about this BT set is that it has a cool OLED screen which displays the song title and also the incoming caller name.
I did not expect it to show caller names though. Thought it was compatible only with Ericsson phones
In all, this BT headset does its job well for my daily commute to office (40 KMS each day)
I will update the battery life of this headset after i use it for a week
Just my thoughts.
Nice found it here for around 45 euros.
Hi
How does it works with playing music does the play/pause controls works as it should?
I have had problems with other bt headsets and player controls.
It works very well with the default Sense player and works with Core Player and S2P too. But when you use Core player or S2P it does not scroll the song title on the OLED screen.
I did not try with other players though. Hope this helps
Lemme know if you need more info here.
Thank you.. I am using Core player so it sounds good. I will probably order one this week.
whenever i pick call using bluetooth , it doesnt work.. the sound comes to nil , and then i have to set it back , i use custom rom cooked room from here only

I can only confirm that this is a really good investment! So easy too use, excellent battery performance and it includes a radio-receiver!
4,5 of 5 stars!
PS: Only thing thats annoying me is the lack of keylock. Because it´s hard to move it when using the "snap-holder", without pushing any button. There are buttons on all sides except the back...
Probably to late...

I little bit late, but... Do a reset of your headset and re-sync it with your phone.
To reset the headset:
1 Make sure the headset is turned off.
2 Press and hold down the power key until the pairing indication appears.
3 Simultaneously press and hold down the power key and the call key until the headset turns off.
Hope it helps!
Anyone found an iPhone type in the ear headset with volume and track control for Google Music streaming to work on the One X?
If I use the iPhone headset or any button headset on the One X when I double click the song track does advance, but the One X also redials my last call at the same time.
So looking for a Google Music control headset.
Thanks
I am using a pair of ibeats from a rezound phone and the controls work perfectly and as a plus match my red case.

Look for some made for Android and they will work. The iPhone ones will work but you have to download a program and reassign the controls.
I personally just got a pair of ibeats like above said. It works 100% and matches lol.
Try the marketplace. A lot of Rezound owners will sell their ibeats separately.

When you say the controls work perfect does the volume up and down buttons work for you?
Now that we've got root (the Rogers users anyway,) I plan on doing some work towards this end. I've got some nice Denon earbuds, but they're designed for the iPhone, and thus the volume buttons do nothing. The middle button works fine as play/pause, but as the OP states, double-clicking redials, and a long-press pulls up Cyberon Voice Commander (not sure if this is present in the AT&T model.)
I fixed the long-press thing before by simply disabling Cyberon, however, I'd rather implement proper control over what the headset does.
The bad news is that logcat doesn't actually log the pressing of the buttons, only the results of the buttons being pressed. So, when I press the volume keys, I get no information at all. I don't have much time to work on this now, but hopefully on the weekend I'll find some time to dig into the Android source and find where the remote media buttons are defined.
Excellent this sounds great.
From what i have seen for remote apps on the Play store in the descriptions developers have said that it is an OS limitation. That the OS doesn't detect clicks from the volume buttons. craig0r what you said seems to confirm what I had previously found.
But please look into it and it would be great if you can find a fix. You could definitely make some good money if you made it an app and published it in the Play store
I came across a free app called Jays Headset, I emailed the guy and he got right back to me.
It works great with Google Music and my iPhone headset, though not the actual volume buttons on the headset. Works with any headset it seems.
Did I mention it was FREE

At the very lowest level, the OS must detect the clicks. It will certainly require root , as I'm sure I'll have dig into the linux HID system. It might even require a modified driver, at which point I'll probably give up since I've never made drivers before I don't see this being worth the effort.
I would actually love it if I could use the volume buttons for volume, but my hopes right now are that I can get the volume buttons to emulate the skip/search buttons on android earphones, like the ones HTC used to include. (Speaking of which, wtf is up with no included headphones?? I knew we were gonna get Beats headphones, but come on.)
Oh, and I'd likely provide the app for free. It's not going to be pretty, it will require root, and it's something I feel should be included in the OS anyway, so I don't think it'd be fair to charge for it.
Did anyone try a wired headset with mic and buttons on Nexus 5 or other LG phones?
Can I use these buttons to skip tracks forward and reverse?
It seems they only act as volume control and play/resume on Nexus 5.
I couldn't figure out it's Android, phone or headset problem.

Yes, I did. I have tried double-press too.
check out the jays headset app in the play store, lets you set options for the one button on some android phones
Anyone know how to adjust the volume using apple earbuds?
Android app for controlling your 1 or 3 button headset
Do you also want to control function of your headset buttons? If you want full control and also the possibility to control online music services via your headset (play/pause etc one of the things that HAS been working better on the iPhone because of their way of integrating functions with their app makers) like Spotify, Pandora, Rdio and more you would need the free app from the guys at Degauss Labs.
The app is found on google play by the searchwords "degauss labs"
They just added suppor for Android 6.0 Marshmallow
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shengande.degausslabs
Its brilliant, ad free and no catch. Use it and love it :laugh:

I tried Headset Button Controller and Jays's and neither managed to change the up and down buttons' settings, only the center one. I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 default 3 button earphones on Nexus 5.
I'm gonna pretend this guy is not a marketer and give this app a shot. tired of going through all these settings
EDIT: Same issue... I can set the button for Next Track and Previous Track but it doesn't react, it just changes the volume as usual.
I got no luck either. It seems system intercepts the buttons first. No matter where I am, the system volume slide pop up when I press the buttons.
I got a hunch it might be LG's design issues. I was thinking it could be my haedset wasn't compatible to LG's phone. So I browsed Amazon looking for a headset specifically stated it worked on LG's phones. It turned out all of them were one button headsets. This result made me wondered somehow LG doesn't support 3 buttons headset control intentionally.

Hi
I never said the up and down button was programmable on the Nexus 5. These are hard coded by LG and will not do anything but +/- volume. It i snot the app´s fault but LG´s idea of making "Life Good" Only the center button is programmable on the Nexus 5.
But if you try the same app with the Nexus 3 by Samsung you will see the app makes all buttons programmable. As Samsung left the buttons possible to program.
But if you find this a drag, just think if you had the Nexus 4 from LG where there is only a one button support.
Bye
This thread really helped me out. I've been using Samsung phones up till a month ago when i bought my nexus. The first thing i noticed when i tried listening to music via poweramp and google play music was that the double and triple click to change tracks did not really work as well as they did on my S2. However, the deguass app really works well. Thank you.

does this mean that nexus 5 has no built in support for buttons from the headset?
Hi, please check this app, it can skip track using volume buttons single or double clicks.

1 or 3 buttons
Yes, some phones only have support for one button headsets example Motorola Droid Maxx. But most have 3-button support today.
ALL LG´s (2015+2016) support 3-button headsets, ALL Samsungs support 3-button headsets as well, ALL Nexus phones after Nexus 4 supports 3-buttons, ALL Xperia Sonys.. you just need a real Android headset. As a user of the Degauss Headset Control Center which I think is faboulus in function and totally free app, I suggest to support the guys who made that at Degauss Labs. They have a truckload of Android eadsets that might fit your thinking, you´ll find them on www.degausslabs.com I myself use the Noir´s which are superb.
In my previous comment youll find the Headset App now also supporting Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Nexus 5x, Nexus 6P and many others are coming... Youll need that App to tailor the button clicks and set them to actiavte your musicplayer and "control" it.
Cheerio!
Just bought Nokia Coloud Pop, and its is not working on my device(A110Q).
When I play music, only background music is being played, the voice is not audible
There a button on the headphone(remote controller), when I press, the voice is also audible along with the music, mean to say, it works fine with the button pressed, else not.
I called Nokia, they said the headphone is only for high end nokia devices.
So what I want to ask is that is there any way out?
are there apps to fix the problem, or any converter?
and out of curiosity, what causes this problem? I've faced this miss match of headphone with mobile phone many times.
Thank you in advance!

I damaged my earphones and tried using samsung's earphones and faced the same issue that u faced. I just applied tape on the mic so that it will always stay pressed and now it works perfectly. That's the best method
use earfones without mic
those works perfectly
Sent from my Micromax A110Q using xda app-developers app
people are suggesting crazy ways! dude, this way you can damage your sound IC, better buy a new headset, it won't cost you above 500 bucks, and will definitely save you the poison of getting your sound IC replaced.
'Jugaad' can sometimes prove drastic!
Thank's note......!!
Thank you very much man for posting this question.
I always had to hold the pin right when ever I heard something from my phone , but after I tried holding the remote button
the audio play's perfectly . Now it's just enough to hold the button without worrying about reseting the pin over and over again....
:good::good::good::good:
best way even i also tried
i am also facing the same problem with mic headphones.
1.}}}}i like the skullcandy most but with mic does not work so i add the aux splitter between tham but the mic does not work .
2.}}}}and the best way i found is use the universal earphone with ip or nk switch button that works with mic and supports in all phones.
3.}}}} the other is ubon earphone is work well in our device .
thanks for reading my post say thanks if this would work. :good:
Hey!
I am really missing track selection for my Z1 (using the headphones that came in the box). Even just a single buton for "Next track" would make a difference.
Does anyone know if I could use a different manufacturers headset with those features? Are those compatible between manufacturers? I never even use the headphones for anything other than music so even if I could just modify the button that is available to next track that would be enough, but I suppose that's tricky.
Anyone got a suggestion?

You mean Z1 Compact? Didn't the ones in the box have a single button (double-click for change track)?
All Bluetooth headsets should work fine and have a range of inline controls. For wired headsets, ignore any Made for iPhone ones and go for Made for Android labels. The Z1C is compatible with many of these, including Samsung's and HTC's.
My personal favorite affordable earphones with 3-button inline remote are the HTC E240 ones - really nice balanced sound for the price, better than some $100+ buds.
Sony also has a Smart Key app in the Play Store that allows you to change the functions of the inline buttons. Once you plug in a compatible headset, Smart Connect should prompt you to install it.
Wow, thanks a ton. Indeed the the headset has a single button, as mentioned in my last sentence. Your mention of the Smart Key app was exactly what I needed... Allowd three options to be mapped into the single key, that is all I need.
Smart Connect ki da failed to mention it, or maybe I have nuked the notification accidentally before reading it.
If anyone should care or look themselves, I have now opted for the Sony SBH80 wireless headset. It has very good sound (for my music style), great wearing comfort and I get compatible Buttons for play/pause, prev/next, call accepting and volume control. The two devices worked together really awesomely, the Xperia also tells me h exact leftover battery time in the headset (about 8 hours of playback). Worth considering.
