Headset button - Verizon HTC One (M7)

I received my new Bose MIE2 mobile headset. Anyone have any idea how to gain control over the button? I'd like to use it to mute/unmute while I'm on a call. It seems to end a call instead. I tried various headset button controller apps in the market but they all seem to fail taking control of the button despite their debug mode showing they are interpreting the button press (any idea what setting is retaining control over the function)? Thanks!

Just see if Bose has an app on the market. If not then you might be sol

I've done a ton of reading. Its not a Bose issue. Its an Android issue. They changed something in Jelly bean that carried into Kitkat where the phone call app owns all the headset button input. There are third party apps out there that worked prior to the change. If you debug you can see the phone receives the button presses but the apps just can't control them. Seems ridiculous that we can't even program one button whereas iPhone has three button headsets that work.

They do work on the Vibrant. As will any of the four pin headphones for the iPhone.
Ya I just bought the Klipsch Image S4i and they do not work on the vibrant... Im pretty sure a software workaround can work... I wouldn't know how to do it though... Any chance someone can write up some quick code for this?

The G1 had the same problem when it came out. It turned out to be software related.
The Vibrant is designed to work with any four pin headset. Alternatively you can get an adapter from Samsung that goes from the four pin plug on the phone to an in-line volume control/microphone with a three pin port on it.http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EMC40AONMEBSTD
Is there a link available for this software fix?
The volume controls and the fast forward and rewind would only be able to work with a software workaround. As far as listening to music goes, it tuns out Samsung switched the ground and microphone pins AND the laft and right pins. And because of that I have to hold down the mic button to be able to listen to music and still it would be backwards. Im going to either make a 4pin female-4 pin male adaptor or open up the S4i remote (really easy) and switch them around in there.

The software fix is the android 2.2 (Froyo) update. It hasn't been released yet but should be available in the next couple weeks.
Zaggs Smartbuds, they work with mixzing and the new powerAmp.

Sorry if this is an old post, but I just wanted to know if the controls on the V moda Remix Remote really work with the vibrant or is it just one of the buttons for answering calls? I am planning on buying the headphones. I would also like to know if the mic is compatible as well. Thanks in advance
Blackberry headphones work great on vibrant, nice audio

I'm also looking for a set of wired ear buds with an inline microphone. I'm running Macnut R12 and was at yodabashi camera this weekend, none of the iphone headphones with microphones would work (Sony, Sennheiser, etc). :-(
Meridian is the answer.
What I've found is that any headphones with an answer call button works but I prefer using Meridian with my earbuds because if you go into the options and select "use headset buttons" you can get play/pause, skip and previous functions all from that one button by quickly double pressing for skip, pressing once then waiting a second before pressing again for previous and one press for play/pause. Works flawlessly with me and you don't have to worry about getting headphones with all 3 buttons since 1 button gets the job done.
Hey do you know if there is a way of backing up a playlist and saving it on the SD card or computer? I hate going through and making a new playlist everytime I flash a new rom or something. Thanks man......and I use Meridian because of you. I ride a motorcycle everyday to work listening to music now. It's so easy to move between tracks with the Mic button. Thanks again.

Arc headset issue..

hi guys i've had my arc for close to 2 months now and it's been spot on. But recently i've noticed the headset button no longer registers any clicks.
Thinking it was broken I downloaded a few android apps for headset control. And they definitely register clicks but id rather not have to pay for a 3rd party app that sits in the bg with a delay.
No program has default headset control as far as I can see so I'm at a loss. It was annoying that I couldn't answer a call with the included headset.
I've the latest update and in sure it worked well before as I used it to change tracks while cycling.... any ideas?

[Q] How do I used a wired headset to access Voice Dialer or Vlingo?

Hi guys, I've searched everywhere I know and found apps like JAYS headset control which has given me volume control and the like on this one button headset but coming from the iphone world back to android I find it extremely frustrating that I can't configure a long press on the wired headset to open up voice dialer or even better Vlingo. I'm on 4.02 stock. I live in China and ride a scooter most places and constantly have the headset on. Bluetooth is not an option here because of the noise. So, is there an app I am not seeing that gives me full headset control and configuration?
Thanks!
OK, have progress, after posting this question I found an app that works! It's called Headset Button Controller, there is a trial version and it successfully starts Vlingo and tells you the time in any number of configurable button presses. Now there is nothing I did on my iPhone 4 that I'm not doing better on my GN...

Is it possible to program or access more Bluetooth commands?

When I had a crackberry and had it paired with my Bluetooth on my car I could hit a button on the module in my car and it would launch voice dialing on the berry. With an android phone it doesn't. I am wondering if there was a way or an app that could monitor for the button or give me the same Bluetooth config of the berry so I could gain that back.
I love hands free dialing and I've tried apps like vlingo but they seem too unusuable still.
Any suggestions here would be great!

You should check out tasker, it can pick up blue tooth commands and perform what you want.

Unfortunately that didn't work for me very well.
It seems like the button in question doesn't register on android at all.
Not sure if that's the 'fault' of the car's audio system or a weakness int he btooth apk.
Oh well.
Probably should just get a headset.

I have Sony MW600 connected to my phone, and when I push the hang up button on that one, voice calling starts up.

[Q] 3 button headphone support

I flashed awesome beats on my phone and then bought the in ear bud beats by Dre and the volume rocker doesn't work obviously because its not supported on my device. Anyone have any solutions or software to get the 3 click buttons to work on the gnex? I'm rooted and running jro03o on my phone fyi
3button headphones
I'm hoping someone can give me guidance on this if its possible to have support for the volume rocker on my headphones or not. Please help. I don't like the apps in the market that let u use the play pause button to skip forward and backward either using 2 or 3 clicks. Oh and running liquid jellybean maybe that can help
The chrome button and mic work out of box. Otherwise, sometimes not even apps can help, I know volume will probably never work, but hey, Mic and chrome button (Google Now shortcut) beats nothing working!

The control talk is designed for iPhones and contains a special method of communicating with the device. Our android devices don't support that but we have support for the center button.
