I have a Motorola S305 and I'm using Mortplayer to listen to audiobooks/podcasts.
In the menu options, you can set the Rewind/FFW/Stop buttons on the headset to control the podcast.
But no matter what button I assign to Rewind, it just doesn't work. What is the deal?
I can set all three buttons to FFW and all three work fine.
But it seems there's something wrong with Rewind. Setting any of the three buttons to Rewind in the app means that the button basically dies and is unresponsive (until I set it to do something else).
This worked fine on my Nexus One, so it's not the headphones (especially since all 3 buttons work fine when used for other functions).
Admittedly, it was with an older version of Mortplayer, so perhaps this is a bug with the newest version?
Has anyone else run into this issue with the Sensation?
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?
Since the 38R ota, my vmoda headset middle button (which worked perfectly pre update on 33R) now only works intermittently. Most of the time a single or double press will just increase the volume (media if music is playing, ringtone if not). This is using Google play music.
I tried the pro version of headset controller, and in debug mode it is not registering the button presses when the volume goes up (so it's not getting a chance to intercept them)
I have a nandroid of 33R which I may need to roll back to!
Anyone else seeing this bug? Any ideas of a fix or workaround before I roll back?
Thanks!
My volume control buttons in my Amazon headset work 100% with 38R. In fact, I was surprised to see it worked with OPO, where it didn't work on Nexus 4.
It is an odd bug with some headsets, it is defiantly software as it is registering the press but not activating the right command.

Same problem here, really anoying! I am using a samsung EO-HS3303WE and it worked perfectly with 33r. I have tried several music players but same problem.
Ithink this is too much of a coincidence, considering that Oneplus has just released their own headset...they seem to want us to buy their accesories! I hope this is not true and this bug will be solved soon
I have the same problem! I noticed that when i press volume down and the middle one at the same time, than it registers as the middle button
Any chance this could be solved without waiting to next OTA?
No one? We may have to wait 2 or 3 months...if it's ever fixed with next OTA...
i tried using the play store apps like: headset controller, Jays headset controller etc, and they did not have any effect on the button registering
there are two threads on the Cyanogenmod bug site (one from above ^^^):
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-133 - microphone not working
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-188 - middle button raises volume
so i would suggest you register and post there (top right corner, login button) and get some action going on it
i rolled back to 33R to get my headset working; the alternative is to buy the JBL E1+ headphones when they come out, but seems a bit lame!
So I have a weird problem with two different sets of head phones. One came with my S3 when I bought it originally that has two volume buttons and a third button plus a mic. The other set that I tried is just a random black pair I bought somewhere that only has one control button and no mic. I know for a fact neither set are "designed for iphone".
The problem I'm having is with my OPO while using PowerAmp. If the screen is on then the push button controls for play/pause/prev track/next track all work perfectly with one/two/three button pushes. But as soon as the screen is off the control button won't do anything really but turn the volume up on the music. Sometimes the play/pause control will work as it should with the screen off but only about 20% of the time. And as soon as I turn the screen on where I am on the lock screen, in app or in a different app the controls work perfect.
I never had this problem with either set of headphones in Poweramp or any other music player on my S3.
Any idea what would cause this or how to fix it? I ordered a set of 1+ silver ear buds for black friday to see if that fixes the problem or not.
bump, anyone?
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
