Hello guyz !
Today I have a question related both on software and hardware.
I have found limited edition headphones for some cyon phone (korea).
They are shiny red, have old multi (21pin) connector plug but I checked that they only use 4 wires.
I got 7 buttons (PREV, NEXT, PLAY/PAUSE, STOP, CALL/END, VOL+, VOL-), microphone and also TRS jack on top.
I've connected only theadphones (short cable ended with TRS jack) to my phone and they sound fantastic.
The question is can I get all of this buttons working or most of them ?
I know how to get vol+, vol- and call buttons, just need to change resistors values but I want more.
Most devices uses only 3 buttons with volume or next/prev track + call.
I've found this but here
HTML:
https://source.android.com/devices/accessories/headset/specification.html
are only 4 buttons.
Is it controlled only by hardware (resistors gives specific voltage) or it can be programmed via software ?

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.
In my previous phone LG G2, any headphone with audio control would work without a problem (that have three buttons (Vol +, pause , Vol -), double clicking Vol+ will skip to the next song, and Vol- to get to the previous song.
In my xperia Z2, that is not the issue, pause button will raise the volume up, the same thing to Vol+ button.
even the headhpones with the only mic and one button will raise the song volume instead of pausing.
Is there any way to fix this ?
Never had this issue, and I've used many types of headsets with my device (htc, samsung, sony, nokia) and even bt stereo headsets.
is this happening with the Walkman app only, or with any audio app you use ? have you tested other apps ?
Yes, it is universal, some people mentioned because Z2 use connector CTIA instead of the older OMTP standard, but apperantly is not that, some people get to headset to work and others not.
I have opened the S6 edge and in the process I have broken the Jack from the charging board.
After putting it back together I have realized that volume buttons are not working any more.
My question is: Are volume buttons somehow connected with the jack or I have broken some other part as well?
Thank you.
Hi all,
I have just bought by mistake earphones intended for iphone. The jack features connectors for left/right/ground/mic instead of left/right/mic/ground. If you try to plug it in your android smartphone, you will get a message "headphone not recognised".
There is a simple trick to use them anyway if you do not care about the mic function. My earphone features a small pad with three buttons : "+", "o" and "-". If the middle button "o" is kept pressed (eg. with rubber), the earphones will work flawlessly.
Hope it helps!
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.
