Hey Guys.
First the basic question: Is there any possible way that a 3 button headset can have all it's 3 buttons working on android, where ALL 3 can be customized?
To elaborate.. the app Headset Button Controller has 3 buttons (left, right, middle) that are customizable. However, I have looked through the threads here and only found that the middle button is usable, and lots of complaints about the other 2 buttons of certain headsets only being Iphone compatible.
I doubt that the 2 buttons that the dev designated in his app are there just for a goof (or for re-designation of the middle button via editing the .KL file), so there has to exist at least 1 example of a 3 button headset/wire that would make use of this.
And to clarify the function of this wire, the earbuds that came with my Note 2 have 3 buttons, but the left and right seem to be fixed on volume control only, so unless there is a way to make them work, I'll consider these ones not the customizable buttons that Headset Button Controller had in mind.
So my 2nd question: What are some examples of headset wires/wired headphones/earbuds where Headset Button Controller will affect all 3 buttons?
Here is my personal ranking of what I'm trying to find:
1) Independently sold headset wire w/ a working customizable 3 button headset
2) Earbuds with a customizable 3 button headset (these are cheaper to buy for the headset repair guy I know to dismantle so that they can be attached to my bose headphones. Same applies to #4)
3) Headphones with a separating customizable 3 button wire
4) Headphones (hopefully cheap) with a permanently attached customizable 3 button wire.
The idea is to get any sort of working working customizable 3 button device and make the right button skip tracks. The reason why using 1 button won't do the trick anymore is because Google Now decided to hog the middle button long click to itself, and even if I would double click, this can be wrongly done and activate Google Now when I have no need of it. So I can leave the middle button with Google Now and have the other two buttons for anything I want based on Headset Button Controller (once again, why would it even have 3 buttons if they were useless?)
Even though there is a trick that can be done by editing the .kl file in order to make your headset think it's clicking the right or left button, this had the crappy bonus of disabling the ability to pick up and drop calls when pressing the middle button, so that's a no go either.

Thank you for your time and I am very curious to know what your thoughts are on this.

I still don't quite understand one thing.. has anyone looking at this thread used the side buttons on this and/or the beats cable you sent me for anything other than volume?
This is the biggest question for me.. is there any feasible way for the side buttons to be customizable (without getting rid of the volume buttons function on the phone itself).
If no possible way, than I'll move on and just order my single button headset to be repaired (though I am still flabbergasted as to why android headset control apps even give the two buttons to edit if this function has never existed)
If yes, but only on certain android devices, then this function can possibly be added to the Note2 via editing some of the internal files... in this I would greatly appreciate anyone who has a 3 button controller proven to have it's 2 side buttons be customizable on other devices, to try editing one of the system files so the Note 2 would be able to do this as well.
If you are not sure but have one of the 3 button cables with you, I would buy you coffee if you were ever in NYC if you could please download Headset Button Controller and try customizing the two side buttons.
Just so we are on the same page, when I say customizable, I mean going to an app like Headset Button Controller and changing the left and right button to do anything I would want them to do (forward, back, pause, etc)
Thank you and sorry for the long message.
PS: I'm super cereal about buying coffee.
Ive had that same question. The answer is generally no they cant be programmed as they are hardcoded volume up/down.. But some phones might be programmable after all if the maker lets them be.
The latest phone leaving all 3-buttons customizable was the Nexus 3 manufactured by Samsung as far as I know it. Actually there is a list of 3 button functionality here: http://apphelp.degausslabs.com/phones/
This list confirms 3-button function or not, but that does generally mean the up/down button are hard coded for volume only.

They make sum here is list of Android headphones with 3button control
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789294
Android aNd windows phone use the same hardware when comes to 3 buttons control. Apple uses one they made. That's why 3 buttons headphone made for iPhone will not work
But the URL should help get an aux cable or headphones that works on list of android and windows device including note and all nexus ( expect nexus 4 )

Hi all,
I would expose you to a problem, I have some beautiful cufie BOSE in-ear OE2i I use with my ipod but I would use DHD also seen that the audio level has nothing to envy to Apple.
The problem is that cufie feel fine, the microphone and the pause / answer function keys do not work but rather to increase the volume.
I initially thought of a hardware conflict but I have found not to be so! MIUI work perfectly with Roma but as jumping track.
At this point I think you can remap these keys!
But how can I do?
I do not use MIUI, I do not like it and is too similar to the Iphone.
Does anyone know give me a hand??
Thanks in advance to all.
Sorry for my bad English
I have a similar kind of problem with Bose in-ear Mie2i model. It has a single long button which works for play/pause/previous/next. But this function seems to be limited with ipod.
But with DHD I can only use the button for play/pause, no volume control with volume buttons. When I double press the long button, it's going to redial, unable to skip a track.
I don't even find a variance with MIUI Rom.
Thanks for the thread.
Sent from my Desire HD
You can try using an application called Headset Droid to remap those keys to your liking. It's a paid app, but its worth it, has many features. Worth noting is that the author states he cannot map the volume keys from Apple headsets because of patents pending Therefore those volume keys won't work on android, but the rest can be set up as you wish.
@BlackICE Desire HD
Has anyone tested iphone/ipod headphone media controls with the note and do they work? I want to buy some headphones but most just say apple compatible. I know the 3.5mm jack is different from the first generation galaxy phones. I plugged the Note OEM earphones into a captivate and the controls didn't work. Thanks!
Hi, I tried a headphone that came with HTC HD2 and it turn out that this HD2 headphone can work almost the same function as the one Samsung sent with the Note. Only press to Play/Receive call work and FW/BW, they are working as Vol up/down.
have you tried the headset from the NOTE?, I can use it with beyondpod for:
. next
. previous
. vol
. pause
and you can assign the button for other functions...
I'm currently using the Note's provided IEM, as mine kind of spoilt. so far I only use it to increase, decrease volume, launch stock player, play and pause. Still thinking how to change sound track though. but yeah, it's working for me.
the beyondpod player responds to double clicks and long clicks of answer button, so you can assign it to FF....
maybe the stock player can use that clicks too....
I'm using my Shure 215 with the optional headset cable with a single button and it works fine with "Headset Button Controller" from the market.
Click = play/pause
Doubleclick = Next track
Click&Hold = Volumechange (set it to changing from 20-80% in x steps)
And you have call control.
What I still haven't figured out is how to make the samsung voicecontrol app start and work when the phone is asleep...
Don't know if there is any device without a apple logo that can use the apple compatible buttons (they would sue them

What do you mean optional headset? Where can I get this from?
I'm using the Audio Technica AT335i and it works well. Best thing about it is that it's modular, so you can use it with any earphones you like.
It says it's intended for iPhone, but as far as I can tell, all functions work fine on my Note (single click to play/pause/pick up call/end call, double click to go to next track, triple click to go to previous track). Volume control is just an analog slider so it works independently of the phone's volume settings.

I have the one button version.
With the other one only one of the 3 buttons should work on android.
Klipsch sell an Android specific set of buds called the S4A...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Klipsch-S4A-Headphones-Android-Silver/dp/B005M1KO1C
The earphones are single button and rely on a free, native Android app here:
https://market.android.com/details?...NvbS5vdXRzaWRlc291cmNlLmtsaXBzY2hjb250cm9sIl0.
I don't have the S4A's, but I just downloaded the app and it works perfectly with my Note and Marshall Minors (http://www.marshallheadphones.com/product/minor).
There's been lots of complaints about the Klipsch app not working with the Galaxy S and various other phones, but I can't find a problem with it on the Note.
*** Update ***
I just found the Klipsch Promedia's on Amazon for £35 (usually £90 like the S4A's): http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_t=3201&pf_rd_p=466496413&pf_rd_i=typ01
They appear to be exactly the same as the S4A's apart from the colour - this thread indicates they work fine with the Klipsch android app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20510095
I'm hoping they'll be delivered before I return to work next year
I have order one of these last week...hopefully the buttons will work ok

I have an S-Off and rooted HTC One and have recently got AKG K451 headphones. The middle button works for pause and next track etc but unfortunatly the volume up and down does not. Is there an app or anything I can use to force the up and down volume to work?
I have done a search but all the threads I have come across are no longer pliable.
tia for anyone that can help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560852 - you are welcome
I assume your K451 has 3.5mm connector on earcup, so that cable above will work well. As I mentioned in some of my previous posts, multifunction button is universal and works for play/pause/call, double click to skip and long-press for Google play, but volume controls are usually for iDevices only. There is no way to fix it with an app or rooting. Its a hardwired thing (internal resistors inside of the remote). This replacement cable above has a remote specific to Android phones, works great with my Note 2.
That's exactly what I need - many thanks
Hi there,
Has anyone found a pair of good headphones with a mic that are compatible with advanced commands such as volume up/down, next track etc.? My pair of Sennheisers can start and stop, but none of the more advanced settings worked. I tried various apps to assign actions to one button headsets and had no luck at all. Actually, even the basic functions of start/stop are lost when those apps are active. To my knowledge the only headphones that have been reported to retain advanced button assignments are these ones: Samsung ehs64avfbe, but I am reluctant to buy a Fairphone one the one hand and a cheap pair of headphones on the other.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Headphones update
OK, I took the plunge and bought a pair of Senheiser MM 30G. My reasoning was that I had seen somewhere that a pair of cheapish Samsung headphones worked well with the fairphone, and that the MM 30G had been manufactured for Samsung phones. The headphones have a three button command, which are supposed to be volume up/down as well as a start/stop button, which will also answer and end calls.
Out of the box the buttons actually did: next song instead of volume up, and previous song instead of volume down. The middle button for start stop works fine. This is acceptable for me, as I can change the volume quite easily even without taking the phone or of my pocket (the volume rocker is quite tactile even through jeans).
Interestingly, when using different apps to assign button controls I could get the volume control to work via the remote on the headphones, but no long press options e.g. For next song were available. I am thus using them as they are with no extra apps, as being able to skip songs while cycling is important to me.
Hope this helps a bit.

Hi,
I'm looking for a pair of earphones (with cable) for my Nexus 5 (running Android 5.0). The earphones should have a remote control with the possibility to fast forward/rewind (I tried to realize this with several apps but Google Now always pops up when I long-press one of the outer buttons).
I had the a-Jays but they broke after just some weeks of use. Also, they created a lot of noise while running because of their tangle-free ultra-thick cable. So, ideally, the cable should be small.
It seems to be really difficult to find headphones with fast forward/rewind feature on Android...
Thanks & cheers,
M

What do you mean by fast forward or rewind? is it like skip?
If it's, you can use a certain music player that allow long press volume to skip track. Or maybe install an apps that allow you to do that
Hi,
thanks for helping. The functionality I'm looking for is something like this:
The earphones have a 3-button remote control with:
1) middle button: play/stop/accept calls (short click), next song (double click), previous song (triple click)
2) left button: volume up (short click) and fast forward (click and hold)
3) right button: volume down (short click) and rewind (click and hold)
With "fast forward" I mean something like "2x speed", so that you can easily skip certain parts of a song ("scroll through songs" so to say).
The iPhone headphones had this feature and "fast forward/rewind" seems to be a known issue under Android (I think the reason is that there is no standard in interpreting/passing on these types of clicks through the pins of the headphones). But it seems unbelievable that there are no headphones + app combination that should enable this feature.
Cheers,
M
