iPhone headphones DO work on the Galaxy S2, but only the middle button and the microphone.
The volume buttons do not work because the headphone jack does not have the necessary hardware modules to recognize input from the volume rockers on the headphones, that is why you cannot use the volume buttons from the headphone on the Galaxy S2.

Using iPhone earphone (control volume)

The bundled earphone is OK, but it has no volume control, which is essential to me.
I have iPhone's bundled earphone which has volume control as well as a microphone. When I plug in it to my GT 10.1, I can hear music, and I can stop/play music with it, but I cannot control the volume with it. Plus, the microphone is not working.
Could this be possible to use all the features of the iPhone earphone by modifying GT 10.1's software, or should I look for a new earphone with volume control for GT 10.1?
Thank you.

volume control headphones for the i9100?

Is there any headphones that have volume control on them and work on our i9100. i found some klipsch headphones that are supposed to be for android but in the description on the app in the market it says that the volume control does not work for some samsung phones including the gs2.
Look in the market for headset droid. Very customizable
yeah i have that installed. i was hoping for something that has dedicated volume controls on it that work.

[Q] 3-Buttons iphone for android any way ?

Hello, i have beats headphone and motorola razr
I want to know if it's possible to run the 3 buttons on my headphones with my smartphone or other mobile android?
it's a hardware or software problem?
What are the 3 buttons functions? In your title you say " 3-Buttons iphone" so I'm assuming it meant to work your I-Phone? I have Ipod headphones with a 3 button thing on it and the only thing that works is the pause/play button. The two volume buttons don't work but double pressing the play/pause will skip current song (Tested that on winamp android app).
sorry i have very bad english
i want to know if can use the 3-button of my headset ( beats by dre )with my android smartphone ( motorola razr ) ?
vol + for next track/up volume
vol - for back track/down volume
and middle button for play/pause
I believe it should work but I can check it out for you tomorrow, I don't have beats but I have a pair of 3rd party headphones with the in-line controls
I think that the buttons on the headset will not work.

[Q] volume control headphones that are compatible with Htc One

Has anyone bought a pair of headphone with volume control that works on the HTC one. If it does work what is the brand and the model.
I read over in androidcentral that the HTC RC E240 volume buttons work.
i love that the phones have beats audio, but the controls for beats headphones dont work other than play pause. the volume doesnt do anything

volume not working with S21 headphone

The Samsung Galaxy S21 got rid of the phone jack from previous models and now has only a USB-C connection. I bought a USB-C-to-phonejack converter so I could use the headphones I had from my S7 phone. It works when I am using the headphones to listen to music or watch videos. By "works" I mean not only do I hear sound through them, but I can control the volume either using the phones controls or the built-in controls on the headphones. EXCEPT! Except when on a phone call. When I use the headphones when using the phone, the volume control does nothing. Neither the controls on the phone itself, or the controls on the headphones. I end up deafened because the volume is at max and can't be turned down. Again, this is only while speaking on the phone; other apps let me use the volume controls.
Any ideas on ways to fix this?
Thank you,
S.

I can't guarantee that this will work. But often what seems obvious to me is something other people miss completely. (And the other way around too.)
When you press the volume down or up rocker on the phone, have you noticed the three horizontal dots at the top of the onscreen volume indicator? If you tap on that 3-dot menu, multiple vertical volume indicators appear. I haven't tested with a USB-C audio jack dongle but I am betting that if you have the dongle plugged in (regardless of whether the earphones are plugged into the dongle), one of those vertical volume sliders will be specifically for the dongle/USB-C output.
Give this a try and let us know if this works. If it does, I realize this might be annoying to do every time. But maybe then you can find a utility in the Play store that allows you to set individual volume levels.
Good luck.
P.S. I fully understand if you prefer the wired earphones. But I can tell you that when I use bluetooth earphones of various kinds, simply pressing the volume rocker does reduce/increase phone call volume.

Thank you. I never really noticed those dots in the volume control; just ignored them all this time! I pressed them and see the extra options. I haven't tried the USB-C dongle yet... I just packed it away for a trip this week. I'll keep it in mind though and try it as soon as I unpack.
