All,
On my note 1 I always used my apple headphones. I am able to play pause song/ next track and answer calls but not hang up calls or alter volume.
Now on my note 2, I can do all the above but when I make a call, it doesnt work and the call ends however I can recieve a call with the headphones. This is such a weird situation.. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
You can only use Android specific headphones for volume controls and playing none of the headset with three buttons will work except u can recieve calls.Android headphones are klipsch s4a and s4a2

Ok I have found the issue. When the music app is open, and I go to make a call the phone just loses recognition that my headphones are in however if i exit the music app and make a call then it recognises it. Its like the phone can only use them as one but not both, although if i am listening to music and recieve a call i can succesfully pick up a call.
weird?
In addition, when I initiate a call and end it, my headphones need to be plugged in and out again to get them to recognise them again.

hmm weird.. I fixed it by changing headphone output to surround instead of stereo..

Sounds like you have a problem with the headset button priority. It looks like your music player is taking priority over the phone app, which is causing the bad behavior. Try Headset Interceptor on the play store (free app) to make sure the button press is directed to the proper app.

I bought Sennheiser MM60 for iphone. The sound is exceptionally good (same as PX100 and PXC100) with detachable cable (you can use the mic unit with other headphones).
The only problem is the calling button doesn't work. It can only control music player (either stock player or winamp).
What iphone headset do you use and how does it work?
Interesting. What, specifically, is happening with the headset? I've had good luck with a few iPhone headsets, particularly ones with just the play button like the v-modas I have right now. I normally use the SE MW600 Bluetooth headset, and I've noticed that the call button brings up the menu option of either the Genius Button or Google's voice software. Is that what you're getting when you use the button?

I got music player activated when the button pressed once (it can be the last track it played or play audio randomly.
I am supposed to receive Bose MIE2 today and post the result later.
The purpose of this thread is to share the experience what brand and model of wired (bluetooth excluded this time) headset used and how does it work.
update:
I just received Bose MIE2. The button control is the same (doesn't work on calling, but it works with music control).
So it doesn't work on calling at all? It can't take a call, place a call, or answer one? When double-click my v-moda, it places a call to the last number dialed out. It also works with answering calls. I have the Vibe Duo:

I haven't tried the stock ear buds because that design isn't particularly comfortable to me.

I have the gunmetal & red ones myself and I couldn't be happier. They work like a charm with the 4g. I did just lose the little pouch they came with though
I use my Desire HD for music playback and when using headphones I have strange problems.
I have used 3 different pairs of headphones with this phone spread over about 10 ish months. Each pair have headphones have been standard stereo headphones with no mic or in-line controls. The issue I get is something when I plug the headphones in they are recognized in the notification bar as headphones with mic (signified by the little icon) and other times just plain headphones which they are.
If they are recognized as having a mic, randomly while listening the phone will pause the music and ring the last called person in my call history.
I have no idea why they do this but it only happens when they are recognized as having a mic (which I'm 100% sure they don't). To get round this I unplug and plug them back in until they are recognized as just stereo headphones. This works for an hour or so of music playback until it will randomly recognize them as having a mic again and start calling someone.
As you can imagine this is VERY annoying.
Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it?
Thanks in Advance.
I think I had this problem before. But it occurs when I use the stock htc handsfree. I could hear static noise and my phone will start to call the last called person. I don't know how I solved it, but i guess it is related with my jack-in or the snd3254 dspmode configuration. I'm not sure though.

I have never used the stock headphone since they sound pretty awful.
I do hope someone has a way of fixing this.

So should I be hearing music through my handsfree?
I used my phone for GPS for the first time and I love hearing Nav notifications through my handsfree set. What I couldn't figure out is how to keep using my handsfree set without music playing through it. Nothing would play through the AUX port of my car stereo unless I turned off my handsfree.
I want to be able to hear music through the car stereo and notifications / calls through the headset - is that possible?

I don't think it's possible. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think your phone manages both at the same time. You could have them go through the same one tough. That's what I personally do, both on bluetooth audio system (car).
How did you manage to get it to play on both? For me it seems like it has to be one or the other

Both on bluetooth? I simply have both running at the same time.
My issue was that it seemed like I can only do one or the other. I saw in the settings for my voyager legend that you can make calls through headset but have music still play through car stereo
That works

Not sure I completely understood what you're trying to do, so this may not be what you're wanting.
But if you go to your Bluetooth pairings on the phone and then go to the settings for your Car Stereo Bluetooth pairing, there is an option for either Call Audio or Music Audio. You can de-select the Music Audio so that only Call Audio plays through Bluetooth to the Car Stereo.
All I want is to be able to still hear navigation notifications in my headset while still be able to hear music through car stereo. That doesn't seem possible. I either hear it....
1) All in my headset (phone calls, music and notifications) or car stereo
2) Phone calls in headset (and navigation notifications if I'm on the phone) with music and notifications in car stereo
But I want it to be phone calls plus all notifications in headset regardless if I'm using the phone and music in car stereo

I went ahead and did a little search. Android seems to do it on it's on so I'm not sure why you can't connect to both and hear what you want in both.
I personally don't connect to 2 devices at the same time but I do get/hear everything in my car audio system (navigation, music, calls, notifications) and that can all be at the same time. The music sound will just lower when navigation girl speaks and when a notification comes in.
Now I dunno if you searched for this but I did find a app that might help (can't try it myself as I only connect to one): Smart Bluetooth Widget Free. There's also a paid version.
And like the other guy mentioned, you can select in the bluetooth options what you want to be streamed through it.

Did you read what I said? I gave a link to a app that might help him (which I haven't tested so can't confirm).
I have the Tmobile Variant.
My setup is Plantronics Voyager 5200 (call audio only)
Logitech UE Megaboom (media only)
What? After making a call the music doesn't play on the BT speaker but plays on phone.
How? I have Pandora playing, I received a phone call or make a phone call and sometimes getting a notification from Hangouts too, somehow drops the MEDIA ability of the speaker and it reverts to my phones speaker. Even though I still see that the BT speaker is connected. I had SoundAbout on, so I disabled that, it still happened. Outloud as well.
Can anyone confirm that this is happening to them as well.
Its easy replicated. Just get a headset and a speaker. have one for media and one for phone calls and it should mess up like it does for me

I just tried it, and it worked as expected. It was a bit more difficult to get the phone to believe I wanted the split setup than I recall from the Note 2. I am to be able to end up variously with multiple devices connected for either call or media audio, and sometimes the media audio disappearing into the ether. However, once connected correctly, I had Pandora playing on an Exogear speaker, and took a phone call on Motorola P311 headset. Once the call ended, Pandora resumed on the speaker. I don't have Outloud or SoundAbout.

Can you do it more than once,

ugh, so I tred again..and somehow it isn't effecting me.
Freaking weird..I'll update teh post if I can recreate, cause apparently I can't...
Ok, So apparently its an app doing it, related to SoundAbout actually
I even installed SoundAbout and OutLoud and did multiple calls. No problem. On the other hand, both look like good apps, and I'm enjoying some Pandora which I usually don't turn on at the office.

There's one thing I miss about the Windows smartphone I used before the Galaxy S9 ... when I used my Bluetooth hearing aids off of it, the built-in speaker would always turn off. This meant that in a movie theater, I didn't have to touch anything -- only I could hear any sound coming from the phone.
But with Galaxy, the sound comes out of Bluetooth AND the speaker when the phone rings (it still turns off for video files). I've looked high and low in the system and phone settings for a solution and also activated the developer tools to no avail. Isn't there a way to accomplish this ultra-simple goal?
There is an app from Samsung in the Galaxy app store called soundassistant. The description says something like that for the headphones. Maybe it works with Bluetooth.

Thanks ... that did the trick. There are options under "scenarios" to plays sounds through the headphones after switching to vibrate mode and to switch to vibrate mode when headphones are connected. It recognizes Bluetooth as headphones, so it only vibrates on a phone call when I'm connected. I'd prefer no sound at all, but I can live with this.
