Hi guys,
I have read almost all of the post regarding underwater photography with the Z3 (Z2 , Z1 ...).
However there is one thing that I'm not able to figure out or find how to do it, and that is how to start and stop video recording with the hardware buttons while in the camera ? In the camera settings there is an option to use the volume keys as a shutter, but the only thing that this does is to take a Photo with both volume up and down buttons.
So if anyone knows how can i take Photos with the shutter and start Videos with some other hardware button without having to switch modes, please share how it's done.
Thanks in advance
hi guys, I've got a problem, and maybe you can help me solving it. I recently bought a pair koss portapro ktc as an upgrade from portapro classic. they have the 3 classic buttons for volume and play/pause control. the problem is that they're made for iOS, and the volume buttons aren't working at all. I tried with headphone button controller, but I can't configurate them, and I think the phone doesn't even recognize the pressure of one those buttons. there's an application that would allow me to test if the button's are even working? I mean, I want to know if the device (oneplus one) recognizes that I pressed button when I physically do this. I'm looking for an hard buttons tester, just that. if I'll be able find something like this I'll go through tasked and stuff's like that to set the buttons function properly. can somebody help me? (sorry for my English)
Just tested those two pairs of wired headphones that have three buttons on pilot
- Samsung Galaxy SIII original headphones B00C1ZPD6S http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-3-5mm-Stereo-Headset-Galaxy/dp/B00C1ZPD6S - not working third button - volume buttons working
- JBL Synchros Reflect A (Android/Universal, wired) http://www.jbl.com/earbuds/REFLECT-A.html - not working third button - volume buttons working
I've tried different soft for media headphone buttons - didn't help. Apparently the SZ5C is not compatible with this kind of headsets.
Those headphones work for Samsung Galaxy SIII, Sony Xperia E4.
I'm using Sennheiser MM 70s, and the button seems to work fine (tested with spotify). They have a volume slider rather than 3 buttons.

I have tested Samsung Galaxy S4 original earphones and I confirm your test, third button start/stop button works as volume up, volume buttons working.
I have tested also Apple EarPods and only the third button is ok, volume buttons not working.
Sennheiser MM 30G: only pause and up volume function as expected.
Sony seems to think the multiple clicking of a single button is the way to go. I'm amazed this hasn't been standardized better in the Android realm.
NOCS 500 for Android: volume works, center button doesn't work at all... no start/stop.
No app seems to help.
cheap Samsung "Galaxy" three button from eBay: volume works, start/stop button works as volume up
Glad I have a 14 day grace period. If I cannot get a three button remote to work on a Sony device, it's going back. It's a shame, I mostly like this device but this whole Android headphone situation is maddening to me as I listen to podcasts all day.
I'm using Marshall Monitor Headphones that have a single inline button. All this does is increase the volume. I've tried a bunch of apps to change it to Pause/Play with no luck. Seems either the z5 needs an update or Marshall really wants you to turn it up to 11.
I too have been on this quest, with a little success. Here's what I have tried so far:
Bundled headset (MH4 10c). Obviously, everything works but there's no volume control and the buds themselves are not great.
iPhone headset. Button works, mic works, volume control doesn't.
Marshall Major over-ear headphones. Button works, mic works, volume control doesn't. (these are advertised as iPhone compatible, so no surprises really).
Samsung headset from GS5 (EO-EG900BW). Volume control works, mic works. Button acts as Volume up.
Nokia music headset (WH-701) from an old Symbian phone. Z5C told me off for even trying (I get a popup "Headset not supported. Use another headset or visit the Sony Mobile support site for more information.").
This guy from eBay, along with my Shure IEM's. Mic works, volume works, button works. Hallelujah! But: the phone doesn't recognise that the headset is plugged in until I press a button on the remote! So I have to plug it in, raise the volume a step, then I can use it. Annoying, but the best solution I've found so far (it's recognised no problem on an iPhone, so maybe it's something to do with their attempt to be compatible with Android & iPhone?)

That's a pity, I was eyeing them. My Marshall Major button works as a play/pause/answer, it's weird your Monitors acts different
Bluetooth Philips SHB 5800WT.
Button works, multiple clicks also, volume buttons also work.
Did anyone test the Xiaomi Pistons (first Gen)?
I previously mentioned the Sennheiser MM30G 's that I tried didn't work but I think there was a problem with them as I tried another pair (had bought three pair on sale) and they work fine with the Z5. I ended up keeping one of my Z5C's and I'm glad that I did as the camera rocks and the stabilised video it shoots is great... much better than the camera on the OnePlus X I picked up instead.
Xiaomi Piston III work just fine.
Sony MH1C works good - all four buttons are working (play/pause, vol+, vol-, app button)
urBeats Monster (from HTC Sensation) - working fine (Volume Up/Down, Play/Pause, Next/Prev (2x- 3x-push play/pause button)
I used the Bose basic phone in-ear buds with the buttons with my Z3c and they worked just fine. Will report back once I get my Z5c... hopefully today.
I'm using Marshall Major II headphones with my Sony Xperia5 and same problem as someone mentioned above. Remote button only levels up the volume..
Have a look at http://degausslabs.com/. The make earphones with 3 button controls that work on Android. Used to have one of their older models. Works well. Sound was ok.
Basically I'd only need a cable. 3.5mm aux-cable with mic/remote. I love my Marshall Majors let's see, I ordered Sony headphone-adapter and couple of cables @eBay. I will inform if if I got em work.

Sony STH30 works great. give them a go.
Tested SENNHEISER CX 200G, 3 button controls are ok
Volume Rocker, Camera Button, and "Vibrate on Touch" setting all stopped working Z5P
I noticed while I was at work today that all 3 of these things stopped working at approximately the same time after they were all working earlier today. The volume rocker will not adjust the volume and also will not work as the zoom button when the camera app is opened. The only way for me to adjust the volume (ring, media, or alarm) is to go into the volume settings which is a major pain in the ass. The camera button will not open the camera app and also will not take pictures. When the button is pushed with the camera app open nothing happens. I was taking pictures earlier in the day and everything worked fine. Lastly I noticed that the vibration feedback on the screen stopped. I tried turning the Vibrate on Touch setting on and off but nothing, and I also restarted the phone but nothing.
Anyone else experience any of these issues?

The volume, power button, camera button and vibratation motor are attached as one module to the motherboard, it could be that the wiring broke at the volume rockers and subsequently caused the 3 parts to fail. I suggest getting it checked out

Eh not what I was hoping to hear lol. Thanks. This phone has been craptastic since day 1, I haven't had it a month. I wish I would have returned it and just ate the restocking fees.
Pretty disappointing considering how great my Xperia Z Ultra was.
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
