[Q] Bluetooth pause/play - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched long and hard for this but cannot come up with simple solution. I have a motorola boom bluetooth headset. It has just one button on it, coupled with two volume buttons. ALL I want to do is be able to replicate the exact functionality that my wired headset has where it pauses/resumes the most recent audio stream when i hit the play button.
What is the best way of doing this?
Thanks.

[REQ] Headset button in Phone application

On a Fuze, when you're on a call, you can hit the Speaker button to turn on the speakerphone feature. And you can turn it off by hitting the button again. That works great.
Now, pair a Bluetooth headset.
Switching from headset to speaker phone takes many steps: Menu>Headset Off. Hit Speaker phone on button.
Does anyone know of a way to switch the headset on/off like speaker phone? In an ideal world, I'd replace the Video Sharing button with a headset button.
I've hunted around but not found anything remotely similar to this, but I can't be the only one with a problem.
Any suggestions?
Really? Nobody else gets annoyed switching from Speaker to Headset?
Bump. Bump.

Milestone2 with apple earphone

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

[Q] Headset Control Buttons Locked

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?

[Q] Any Android phones with music seek controls?

Are there any android phones which have real hardware seek controls? I listen to a lot of mixes and it's really useful to be able to seek through music without having to use the touch screen.
Alternatively, is there a way of making the volume controls do this? The problem is, long pressing already skips tracks, so it would have to be some other combination.
Alternatively, are there any bluetooth headsets which do this? I bought a bluetooth headset but it just skips tracks.

Headset volume controls

The volume controls from my headset does not seem to be controlling my Pixel properly. Volume up calls up the Google Assistant. The call/hangup button and volume down button work as before. Anyone else have this issue? I tried the support chat but they're not aware of this issue and is escalating it. I appreciate any help you guys can provide here.
I had this issue with my Nexus 6P paired with my Beats wired noise cancelling headphones. I bought some bluetooth wireless headphones and this solved the problem for me.

That gets around the problem but doesn't solve it. Anyone else have this issue or are your wired headset controls working properly?

Figured it out. Just had to keep pressing the volume up button. First press will start the Google Assistant. Subsequent presses will turn up the volume.
It's likely an issue with that particular headset's wiring. Of the 3 Android-compatible wired headsets I tested, all of them use the hangup/play/pause button to initiate Google Assistant. There's a thread in the accessories sub forum that's all about wired headset compatibility.
