When i press it, nothing happens! Mic is working, Sound works, but the button wont work... It was plugged in all the way, won't work in spotify, soundcloud, or even the default music app! I tried headset button controller, it didn't recognize the presses either! I just tried, and on my old phone (my new honor 8, brand new was bought a few days ago) and it works on that! So it is a phone problem. In this thread one person says:
You could try
Droid Examiner and make sure that, in Input Devices, you have both a Headset Jack and a Button Jack (I do in my XT1031->XT1028 Moto G). Some music apps won't use the button.
In droid examiner, in input devices, there is ONLY a headset jack, so that is probably the problem here. Keyword: probably.
I hope you can try to help.

I Dont Think Your Honor 8 Is The Problem. I Think It Is A Software Problem

Hello everyone,
I have a somewhat cryptic and annoying problem here. I use an HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) with a hama BSH-240 BT stereo headset. The headset is a four-button one (play/pause, stop, vol up, vol down) with long presses and dual-presses serving as extra keys. It's about one year old, and I used it with my iPAQ rw6815 before switching to Blackstone. Always worked perfectly.
Call me a perv, but I rather like TouchFLO 3d, and it, too, worked for me just fine for two months. Then, SUDDENLY.
Well, not so suddenly, actually, because I did a few things with my phone the day before I ran into the problem: uploaded a few more tracks onto my card, built a new playlist in WMP, and tried a wired headset (since I wanted to listen to a certain radio show).
The first sign of trouble (not sure if it's related at all) was that HTC Audio Manager didn't see my new WMP playlists - I tried it building a new one a couple of times to no effect. I simply started playing from the All Music list (fine by me, that's what my primary playlist is anyway), but then I noticed that the Audio Manager no longer responded to the Play/Pause button on my headset. All other buttons worked fine, and I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware problem, since the long press on the same button works okay (it's 'repeat last call').
The usual rain dancing didn't help at all (remove/add the Audio Manager tab, re-pair the headset, soft reset) and looking through the TouchFLO/WMP/WM options gave me no clues either.
I googled for hints and searched the forums as well, but didn't find anything of relevance.
I do not expect a magic solution for this, but perhaps someone has run into this problem before me and can give me some hints?
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, could be a dumb moment on my part.
Thanks in advance
Sorry for bumping this, but I have some new information about my problems.
First of all, I made sure the hardware is okay by digging up my old iPAQ and pairing my headset to it. Everything works top-notch.
Moreover, when WMP is running on my Touch HD, all the headset controls work in it. (This means the device is fully usable after all, but I really like the Audio Manager a lot more.) I have a weird feeling WMP somehow hijacked AVRCP from HTC Audio Manager.
Any ideas on how to fix it, perhaps?
My wired headset has never worked like in Windows Mobile. Polaris just refuses to play music through it. I think developers are working on this, but some users have found workarounds that work.
I created this topic to keep track of this issue in order to give it the importance I think it has. I hope you think the same.
I also agree that this issue deserves more attention from the developers, especially because, at least for me, is the main inconvenience with Froyo at the moment (this and the related issue with usb mounting and adb).
I can confirm that one workaround is to plug either the headset or usb in recovery mode and then quitting into android, after that it works as normal until the next reboot, in the sense that if you unplug and replug the headset / usb it will recognize it. I don't know if it will be hard to fix, but it seems that android cannot communicate with the usb port after fully booting.
Same problem here. The recovery mode workaround does recognize USB but it would not recognize my wired headset.
The working around for the wired headset RC W100
The headset is working with Incubus RLS12 only when you unplug the headset it isn't directly play on the phone speaker.
You have to stop playing (pause) and turn off (end key) the screen. Unlock the screen and start playing with the music on the phone speaker.
It isn't necessary to reboot with the headset connected to enable it.
Hi!
I can't get my wired headset to play music through it. Unless I've not understand the workaround it does not work for me. Here is what I've done:
- stopped the music player (while playing through phone speaker);
- switched off the display;
- connected the wired headset;
- start playin' again but it plays always through phone speaker;
Thank u.
I can confirm this issue.
I really love the work done with Android, but I can't use it as an MP3 player, because my wired headset doesn't work.
Is this known with the developers, and being looked in to?
Nothing new on this issue so far?
Up!
I am still ionterested in this issue!
Getting a "Paired but not connected" issue with my bluetooth ear-piece and I've tried everything to get it to connect, even force closing wiping all the data from the bluetooth application and rebooting several times. I've only had this problem since switching from cyanogen mod to vegan tab (Love vegan tab btw) does anyone know some fixes or solutions?
Thanks in advance :3
come on :\ doesnt even one person have a suggestion?
I was able to pair my phone with the Vegan Beta 5.1 gTablet without issue...
I just bought a new headset and will try it and let you know...
Working fine for me as well but when I disconnect I have to re-boot to get audio over speakers on the GTAB
hmmm, thats really odd, maybe my headset itsself is being stupid. Thanks for the feedback guys.

I've found if you plug and unplug a regular wired headset into the headset jack, thst usually fixes the audio be muted on internal speakers.
bluetooth help
I am having the same problem. Tried 2 different headsets, netbook, and my moto droid - but everything says "paired but not connected". nothing works! please help
may be a direction for a fix; DEVs could you clarify for us
I found this in a post today by enigma0456:
More research finally revealed something. BlueGPS4droid at sourceforge not the market. So, the external gps was "paired but not connected" until there was an application (bluegps) to "connect" to. Once that was installed I turned on the bluetooth and it immediately saw the hollux remote gps receiver. Tested it with Maps and it worked beautifully. So theories:
1. If there isn't an app waiting to use the bluetooth device it will pair but not connect until something asks for it.
now I realize this has to deal with gps but as i understand all phone apks have been removed that can be and not lose functionality in order to save battery life in Vegan 5.1 so if the above quote is right then there is no app (phone.apk etc.) to ask for the use of the ear piece and thus the paired but not connected issue.
now some people have mentioned not having issue getting their BT headset to work and maybe this is because the headset offers another use in their programing like they are designed to work like headphones or something and then there would be and app to ask for them and so they connect
the ones that do not work on the other hand like mine are only designed for phone audio; ever notice that on your Droid cell that your headset will say connected to phone audio, well in our case if the phone.apk/s are not there then there is nothing asking to connect to it.
DEVs are there any ideas to get functionality back even it that means adding back the phone.apks--and is that possible to do with our re-flashing a rom like side installing it or an update.zip
Thanks

There is an app on the market, called "headset toggle widget" and that will do the trick and unmute your speakers
Possible workaround...
Don't know if this will help but, after I paired my BT headset with GTAB, I then paired it with another device (my phone) after which GTAB started giving me the paired but not connected message when I tried to connect back to the GTAB. What worked? Well, now before I select the headset device in GTAB's bluetooth device menu, I put the headset itself back into pairing mode. THEN, I select it in GTAB's bluetooth device menu and voilà, it connects. Downside, I have to put the headset into pairing mode everytime I want to connect it to GTAB. (Haven't bothered trying to unpair the headset with my phone yet to see if it makes a difference.) Hope it works at least as temp fix for ya.
I've had this phone for a little less than a year now and it was working fine (except the terrible screen issues before JB). Now with 4.1.2 the screen is fine but other stuff are messed up... Headsets basically don't exist for my phone. I've tried various one button headsets and most of the time clicks are not recognized.I haven't tried 3 buttons ones but I can guess the outcome... I mainly want to control my music when walking(Pause/Play etc.) . Every now and then the headset works fine for a few seconds then Google Now/Search or whatever takes control and then that is for headset controls... I tried :
Disabling Google = Google doesn't start whne listening to musc but no recognition for the button...
Various app solutions for controlling headsets = still no recognition..
Rooted and installed Headset Droid for the Google fix = nope
Different music players that come with headset control functionality = same problem.
Tried SmartConnect + SmartKey = it recognizes that is a headset on the event and starts Walkman but then again clicks do nothing..
This has all been tested with the official headset that comes with the phone...
My friends has the same phone bought from a different country. I've stress tested his phone with the same various headsets and it performs great with absolutely no issues,Google doesn't even launch like on mine..... I saw that although he is on the same JB as me (4.1.2) he is running an older Build. I was on 11.2.A.0.31 and he is on 11.2.A.0.21.
I thought I will reflash to an older Stock rom just to see if the software is the issue. I downloaded DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit (v17) and rooted my phone without any issues. Then I downloaded 11.2.A.0.21 No Brand ATA from this forum. I got Flashtool which recognized my phone and I granted it root access. I reflashed with the stock rom with full wipe on cache + data. Phone booted up fine afterwards and it worked quite good. Then I decided to try the headset again. I think you can guess what happened....Same Google issue and no headset functionality whatsoever...
I really like the phone as the sound quality is superior to my Philips mp3 player. I can also have up to 32GB sd which is perfect as I do have a lot of music BUT this headset issue makes listening to music more of a hassle then actual enjoyment... I normally like Sony but I have to admit they have disappointed me when it comes to phones... Not just because of this issue but also the screen problems on ICS which I had to fix with a app made by people on this forum...
I don't know what to do now. I forgot to mention I have not unlocked my bootloader and my phone says : Bootloader unlock allowed : No
in the system service menu. Should I unlock the bootloader with Flashtool and try to go down to ICS which will probably fix the headset and the Google issue but will probably introduce the nasty screen issue..? I don't even know if this is a software issue at all, I would like it to be but i am starting to think that I just have a faulty handset -__- I am probably never buying a phone second hand + phone from Sony again...
I also noticed ST26i_112A021_CE.ftf on 4shared. Is CE better than the no brand one I used ?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I am a programmer myself and although this i tiny issue it is annoying me greatly..
I updated back to .31 OTA out of curiosity and headsets work alright until 5,6 times playing and pausing
music and then it does the usual no response thing until I completely reset the phone.
I was reading on Bluetooth headsets and from my understanding commands from them are on a separate audio stream from the headphone jack. Any idea if same issue will appear if I buy a Bluetooth headset ? I don't want to buy an expensive one and then regret it..

Here's what I do: Look for phillips headset app on the playstore. Install it and configure it to make the changes for a media player that you like and you'll never have problems again.
The next time you pop the headset on the phillips headset app will automatically start and it will also open up the default media player.+ you also get an extra sound boos from the app
So far I have tried :
Philips Headset app
Google Search Disabled: Probably works best, stops accepting commands once I turn the screen off or I play/pause too many times.
Google Search Enabled: The voice dialer/Google Now/Whatever will start up about 10 secs in the song and then forget about any headset control until full phone restart.
JAYS Headset app
Works alright for 5,6 times playing and pausing and then just stops registering clicks. Google Search/Voice dialer affects it in the same way
as Philips Headset.
Headset Button Controller, Ultimate Headset Controller and Headset Droid ( I tried the Google fix) act in the same manner as well....
I've tried just about anything now. I even completely removed Google Search and Voice Dialer from system apps. Even that didn't help..
I guess its just my phone and my only hope now is a bluetooth headset. Hopefully the commands from a BT headset are intercepted and processed differently...
Hello, I am posting the most mysterious problem I have ever had on android. Since I bought my phone, as I plug an old jack (with 2 rings) either it works well, or it just pauses impossible to listen to music as if the phone detected a support On the button pause of the earphone except that it is the enclosure of my car and that there is no button on the cable, the same happens when I plug it has a hifi. Having understood that the phone receives a phantom signal that tells him to pause it, I went into my pro player and I deactivated the support of the earphone and instead the music does not cut but only alternates between The loudspeakers of my phone and those of my car. It must come from a software conflict because it does not do it all the time, if it happens sometimes I rekindle and it works perfectly and sometimes it does not change anything. Has anyone ever had this problem? I found nothing on the net. And would there be a way to make android ignore these signals because it makes me crazy? When I use a recent jack (3 rings, my ipod earphone for example) everything works perfectly.
Please help me i'm
desperate
