Headset volume controls - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

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.

[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.

[Q] Bluetooth pause/play

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.

[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] Headset with working buttonS?

Hi!
Im looking for a headset with working 3 buttons. I miss this... my old htc headset had that 3 button (next song, prev song and call button, or what does it named) but it isnt working on nexus 4. In-ear and flat cabel would be the best, and about 20-30-40 dollar. Im asked in many forums but noone know this kind of headset.
Not totally sure what you're looking for but I use the Plantronics Backbeat 903 in-ear Bluetooth stereo headset w/ my N4 and I can play, pause, control volume, next/previous song, mute, call, answer, and hangup, ALL from the external buttons on the headset

I use the LG HBS-730. You can find them online in the $40-50 range. Battery life is good, sound quality is great IMO, and you have volume rockers, skip track rockers, mute/call buttons, and a play/pause button.
You can also try Creative WP-350 Bluetooth Headset I'm using it for more than 2 years and it's still working like a charm

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
