Just got my new Z2, very nice phone.
But it is unable to properly work with my headset.
It's an Fischer, with one button. This button does not play or pause my music (as it's supposed to do on my previous androids).
On the Z2 it is only able to change the volume up.
With Keytest I'm able to see its being detected as volume up.
Is this possible to change this without using root?

Sorry to revive an old thread, but is this a regular "feature" of the z2?
I tried regular 3-button android phones (samsung s4 and a adidas one) and in both the volume buttons work fine, but the call - play/pause button works as volume up. I also tried a couple of iphone compatible phones: in those the volume keys don't work but the call - play/pause works fine.
Is this an issue/defect/problem with my phone or all z2 have this problem?
Root?
I also have the same problem. Assuming that my phone is rooted, how do I change it?
Thanks!

Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363957
It is a stock feature of Z devices I guess, but with stock headset. I can't tell for sure as I'm using Apollo modded by myself that supports double press to skip track and triple press to previous song so I'm not sure

It might be related with the 4 tips connector used for the noise cancelling headphone. Sucks. But thanks for the link. It could be really helpful for someone with root.

Noise cancelling headphones have 5 tips connector. The one with buttons have 4 tips. almost any device supports 4 tips jack connectors.

I dont think that function is supported, but i might be wrong.

PlayerPro's lockscreen function lets you do that.
Other than that, almost all stereo bluetooth headsets have track change buttons. I'm using SonyEricsson MW600 myself.

many thanks for your reply! I'll get this player !!
Have a look at poweramp as well for lock screen functionality.
Could be done with some key mapping? Although:
1) I've only read about it, never done it.
2) You'll loose volume up/down functionality on those keys.
I use the iPhone headset a lot when out and about, because I don't like the being insulated from the surrondings. The iPhone headset has volume controls as opposed to the SGS2's, that only has the play/pause button. Now, I would like to know, if it's technically possible to enable support for volume control on the iPhone headset?
I understand that one would have to alter the sec_jack.kl, which is found in system/usr/keylayout/. Something like this:
key 163 MEDIA_NEXT WAKE
key 165 MEDIA_PREVIOUS WAKE
key 226 HEADSETHOOK WAKE
key ??? VOLUME_UP WAKE
key ??? VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
However I have no clue how to find out the key mapping for the volume buttons on the remote control.
Help is much appreciated.
play/pause? take a look a the manual, i can switch tracks with my original headset.
I would HIGHLY appreciate it if this was solved. I have the Klipsch X10i headphone..amazing stuff..and the center button works, but obviously the volume buttons dont. It would be nice if it did!

You missunderstood, I know one can change tracks with the original headset. And even on the iPhone headset the middle button works. However, what does not work are the volume control buttons. And that's what I'd love to add sec_jack.kl file.
Changing the file won't work. Use logcat to check what keys are fired - no keys are fired in the Android system by the volume buttons. At all. So unlikely to get a fix using this method...
i got iPhone in-ear headset with one button..
but the microphone doesnt work at all in calls..
the button works 4 playing/pausing tracks..
but what to do 4 microphone..
can any1 help me plz????TIA
Did anyone ever come up with a creative solution to this?

The only solutions are the apps which allow you to use the middle button for volume. Volume buttons don't work.
Still no way to make it works ?

Still no way. Even the new Klipsch Android earbuds have only a single button...
FYI, the Klipsch app in market which is designed to be used with their headphones to allow multi tap of dingle button to add volume and other functionality works on non klipsch headphones also, and is free!!!!!!!
As I know there are some possibilities with re-soldering some resistor inside HF remote control.
For now there are no any messages in kernel log for Iphone's volume keys.
I know this is a resurrection of an old thread, but this is relevant current information...... The stock S4 earphones have a volume control, and I have tested them working on my S2.......

I have tried a few, it looks like the ones with the volume control cause the mic not to function. the ones with just one button works ok.

Beats work apart from volume control but have a lower response time on the button press than the Omnia 7 for some reason.

Ok I just need to change my response and this is a weird one.
What worked on the Omnia 7:
Press once to pause music/answer call
Hold to start tellme
Press twice to skip track
What works on Lumia 800
Press once to pause track/answer call
Hold to start tellme
Microphone doesn't work
You can't press twice to skip the track, for some reason the button requires longer press than on the omnia to be registered. Because of this it means that pushing the button twice in quick succession isn't registered.

Are their any other roms besides Ineffabilis v1.3 that have the ability to change the music track via a long press of the volume keys while the screen is off?
I use that feature ALL THE TIME in my system.
I don't know about all the different ROMs, but at least 2or3 I tried it with definitely DIDN'T work.
Wonder how they got it to work in ineffinbilis?

Try Plug in Music Widget. It doesn't have a long press to change, but a double click to change tracks. It didn't work well until the last release, but now seems to work quite a bit better. He built some options into the double press so it can work more than just for the developer. It also is the cleanest music widget, and works with Google music, stock music, and winamp. Has some other features like auto start when headphones plug in.

Thanks for the info, but I am looking for something to change the music track while I am running. I hate trying to fumble with the lock screen, especially in gloves (for the winter) when I could just press and hold the volume key.
I agree. The zero click ease of holding the volume up to skip to the next track is simply amazing.
You can always use the beats headphones...
Seriously thought I'm looking for another headset with better audio quality, I've grown to like the inline controls.

The widget has an option to change tracks with a double press of the volume keys, screen off or all the time, your choice. It's not quite as smooth or clean feeling as the long press, but it still works.

Lol, the best thing about the long click feature is you don't have to use those POS headphones........
I use that feature 100 times a day at work because I can do it in my pocket without looking at the phone and it works with ALL of my many different headphones.
Almost all 3rd party headphones that have the inline controls are setup to work with iPhones and don't work in android unless you use an app like headset button controller.
Using the long click feature in the ROM I'm using gets around all that and works awesome.
I know, I was just being sarcastic. I do believe these are supposed to work with Android - http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/mc2.html. I have ER-4P's now.
For whatever reason I can't get it to skip on CR 1.7, I figure it out though. I loved having that feature on my D1.

Oh don't get me wrong, I love the beats earphones, but I drive roughly 70% of my day, so having my phone inline to my stereo is why I love the volume button skip.

Cool, I use a Motorola T-605 in my car, just hit the skip button on the BT controller. I do need a new mic for it though, it's not working anymore for some reason. Nice hands free kit over all, got it for like $50.
ok, I have a new idea for making money. Just take the bluetooth controls off and use them in your pocket. We could be like the guy that made the pet rock and make a million dollars.
Just wondering if there's a way to change songs using the headphones you get with the s3? Or if there's an app that let's you do it?
Thanks!

if you got original headphone, then you'll find that there's 3 button..
volume up, volume down, then the "other button"..
if you press the "other button" once, the music will paused or started..
Just make sure u pressed it twice to change the song..
Check out Jays Headset Control in the Play Store.
Its meant for single button configurations, but it works perfect to with my 2 (or 3) button configuration S3 supplied earphones
(edit) note that stock works too. but the app gives more options like prev track
Ahhhh thanks guys!
Exorcist I kind of feel stupid Haha so simple!! Was bugging me big time

I couldn't get any of the marketplace apps to override the headset +/- buttons from acting as volume buttons, but have now worked out how to simply remap them to act as track controls, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28752382#post28752382

Thanks for answer me but, is not working, I did everything you say in that post, but I can`t make them work I see the whole Generic.kl from my original stock rom that doesn`t have problems changing to the next track o pause etc., and it is the same Generic.kl, I don`t know what is happening, is a really weird issue.
