Hey guys, I am over on the Sprint forums. I need help trying to see if you guys have the same problems with the wired headset controls I am. Also, if you know of a fix that would be stupendous.
The issue is the pause/play feature doesn't work with the native music app or Google Music. You also can't skip tracks or any other feature.
If music is playing and you click the button once it opens the dialer. If the screen is off it did nothing at all. I have tried various headset control apps on the market with no luck. A few of these apps have a debugging setting. The app will notify you when you click the headset button so you can try and get the app to work. As you can already guess nothing shows when you click the button.
Thanks for the help!

Seems more related to keylayout. Maybe the mic button is mapped to voice dialer or something like that.
Well, it should work in two ways. When no music is playing the single button push should open the dialer. The single long press should open voice actions.
Now, I am not sure how it is suppose to work while music is playing. It seems like I have had one phone that would only control music with the screen off.
I agree there is a mapping issue. How do you think it is suppose to work while music is playing? Does the screen being off or on matter? There should be some way to pause/play and skip tracks without pulling out your phone and changing it in the music app.
Thanks for the reply.

Hmm, if it has different option then it's not in keylayout but in the framework. Whitin the framework it's easy to tell if it's playing music or not. Where in the framework, i don't know.
I have the same problem. I posted the same post problem and nobody wrote on it. I plug it in and the button does nothing off and when it's on it goes to dialer. I've used all of the key mapping apps like sound about and headset controller and it won't fix it.
Also, on player pro there's an option to override the button and that function does not work at all

I don't see any other post covering this, so I'm bumping.
Same here. using the same one, I've tried, poweramp, winamp, google music, stock music, and most of those have options to take control of the headset buttons for music. I even tried a few apps on the play store made for overriding headset controls to make music buttons. No matter what I do, It always opens the dialer when I click instead of pausing my music.
I listen to my music on my motorcycle, and I can't exactly pause my music while I'm riding, so if I'm probably gonna have to try some custom firmwares if I can't get this figured out.
AOSP seemed like the only thing that worked.

Called LG today and the tech told me that the phone was designed for Sprint to work with bluetooth headphones, not wired headphones. Would have been nice to now before I purchased the phone.
Same problem - bizarre
can't believe this. Just switched from iPhone, it was terrible not being able to run software I wanted, but at least it knew what to do with a button press.
Still nothing on this?
Still on stock rom, does CM handle this better?

Well no one has made one yet, so I'll do the honors.
I have seen a decrease is signal strength, but I have noticed better data speeds. I never had the LoS issue before, so I can't tell if this fixed it or not.
Source for EK02 still hasn't been released yet...
Also just a heads up Sprint updated Swype to the latest version in this update as well.
Sound bug is still there. I can't comment on LOS until I am running the new radio (currently on EG31).
What is the "Sound Bug?" And I also noticed that Samsung added arrows to the lockscreen.

I was wondering the same thing until someone posted a link yesterday. Is it isolated to games because I thought the sound bug was how loud it got from 1 step below max to full volume. Lol

I don't have an option to set the lock period. I'm on the stock ROM and unrooted.
The EK02 update has seemed to fix the touchscreen acting crazy while charging, but I'm not entirely sure about it.

While listening to music on my phone (flac and mp3, on phone not the cloud) I get skips and pops when I multitasking. Does anyone else have this problem? This doesn't happen all the time, but enough for me to put the question on here.

Start playing a song and hit the three dot settings tab in the upper left select sound effects and turn on the EQ. You can change the EQ to to the flat setting if you want the music to sound as it did before. This fixes a lot of the music player sound issues.

Until someone incorporates that feature into a custom ROM, you can try this:

poweramp will you give you lockscreen controls, it is a pay for app, but is a solution
Winamp has a setting to show lockscreen controls. It is a full screen display with album art, prev track, play/pause, next track, and an unlock button on screen. The volume buttons still control volume, not tracks, though.
This is what I did. Just got widget locker now I got my music and weather widget in love.
This is ridiculous, I'm trying to get music controls on the lockscreen also. I'm used to AOSP lockscreen that will put the controls at the top when music is playing. I use this with Spotify and Doggcatcher.
I've found that the music controls don't show up on the lockscreen if you're using "Swipe" or "tilt" unlock methods, but they show up with other security levels.
I would love it if there was some way to get the music controls on the top for the Swipe unlock method.
Ever since android 4.2 came out poweramp hasn't worked properly on my nexus, no matter what ROM I'm using. I've always had the direct volume control option selected in the program and haven't had issues before. But on 4.2 with that enabled whenever I first open up poweramp the music plays loud but when I change the song the volume gets real low and stays that way. So I have to turn the volume real high. Problem with that is the next time I open the app and listen to music the first song is deafeningly loud and the volume goes down once I skip the track. This problem doesn't happen if I disable direct volume control in the app but when you do that the audio quality becomes terrible. Anyone have a solution?

For the sake of Pete you would think in 2013 this would work.
Okay, before Jelly Bean I downloaded Headset Controls app and it worked okay. But, I can't get it to do anything now since the update. I don't even see why I would need an app to get this to work.
With my headset plugged in if I do a single click it opens my phone app. The long press opens Google Now(which is fine). With the screen off it doesn't do anything. This is all while playing music from the stock app and Google Music. All I care about doing is skipping tracks and pausing. I hate riding my bike or jogging and stopping to pull out my phone everytime I want to skip a song or pause the music.
I have looked all over the phone in settings, music setting, and google now settings to try and find a way to enable single button music controls. I have tried freezing the apps in Titanium Backup. And as I previously stated, Headset Controls app doesn't work at all now.
I use wireless bluetooth sometimes but the sound is just never as good as wired headsets. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm having the same problem where it opens up the phone app except I use power amp. Power amp button settings won't work and neither will my klipsch button settings the klipsch app says playermediabuttonreceiver is interfering with the app I'm just not sure how do disable it

Lol, I was going to suggest trying the Headset Button Controller from the Play store, but I see you already tried it and left a comment stating that it doesn't work on our phone. Using a bit of google-fu, I found thispost on the Android subreddit that requires you to modify a few system files, but I'm unable to try it out as I'm at work right now. Seeing as how you already bought the Headset Button Controller, perhaps you could try it out and report back?
