Anybody else having volume control issues using bluetooth on the new Razr? In particular, this happens with Pandora and Sky.FM. Problem : the volume buttons have no effect using Bose Sounddock and portable bluetooth speakers. Only way to adjust volume is to use the remote for the Bose. Have tried it on 3 different Razrs, same thing - no volume control via bluetooth.
This volume works fine on both of my Samsungs running GB. Also works with plug-in headsets, and also works with Google music player, just not Pandora etc.
Any ideas? Got to be something simple!
My Polk Ultra 3000 has a control module on it with Start/Pause, Volume Up and Volume down. Anyway to get this to work with my HTC Evo 3d? when I hit the play/pause button it automatically calls the last person I spoke to on my phone.
I am using PowerAmp and had to go into settings to get it to play/pause or switch tracks. Are you using to stock music app? If not check the settings in your music app.
Also there is an app called headphone button controller. That might work too, but costs $3.
Edit: just found JAYS headset control on the market. It's free and works with my motorola headset.
I'm using DoubleTwist now. The volume buttons work but nothing else. Has anyone had ANY luck with BT headset controls with this phone? It was hit and miss with my Touch depending on the ROM I had installed.
Hi there,
I have used the Klipsch S4 headphones for a while now and decided to "upgrade" to the Klipsch S4i wired headset for convenience. It is actually designed for Apple products, but the middle button should still work.
The android version of this headset is 60ish% more expensive and has the same functionality (no volume buttons instead of dead volume buttons...).
I had read that not all functions would be available on my Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android 4.1.2), but I expected the problems to be restricted to the volume control buttons.
What does NOT work?
When I'm using the headset, I can use the headset's middle button to receive an incoming call, but as soon as the button has been pressed, the headset is pretty much not recognized by the phone any more: The call uses the phone's speaker and microphone.
Also, if I try to listen to music via the headset afterwards, that works only after unplugging and reconnecting the headset. The headset is dead after receiving a call with its button.
Things that DO WORK:
- Receiving the call by using the phone's touchscreen while using the headset - full functionality.
- Fully functional (button to hang up, mic and earbuds) when I'm making calls from my phone. So the problem exists only for incoming calls and when using that damn button.
- Using the button for play/pause, next track etc... (no volume control though) with spotify
What I have tried:
- Apps: JAYS Headset control, Philips headset control, Klipsch headset App, SoundAbout (Free version), Music volume EQ
Only one of these apps was installed at a time to prevent conflicts.
I would find it very convenient to use the button to receive calls and don't understand why that doesn't work. Can you help me?
That's why Klipsch made the S4A model (for Android phones)...

I have both, and yes S4i control buttons not work (unless you want to open it and exchange the resistor with cheap android headset). Quality of the sounds both same, the disadvantage only the buttons (S4A single button sucks, even install Klipsch app), the long press button config conflict with voice command (this why it sucks because I set long press to choose volume presets, anyone know solution for this?).
I've made the switch from iOS to Android and so far the only thing bugging me is controlling music with my earphones.
I ride a lot and when I had my iPhone 4S I could hold the mic button on my earphones and tell Siri to play whoever I wanted or skip/pause etc.
On my S3 I can get get the mic button to bring up S Voice by holding it down, but when I speak in to the mic it doesn't recognise it. I have to press the mic button on the display for it to work.
Is there anything around this?
I've tried Google Now and thats just as bad. I didn't think it would be this difficult to control music.
