[Q] Headset controls stopped working - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Tested with two different headsets with the same result.
Sound works, but since yesterday control buttons stopped working. No one of them, volume up, down or play/pause.
Only thing different is that yesterday I started using bluetooth headphones and today I am back to wired ones.
Anyone experienced something similar?

Tried a "restore to default" and problem continues. Looks like something broke inside.

It was a hardware problem

How did you find out it was a hardware problem?
I am experiencing the same. Only that I did not use a bluetooth headset before...

Has anyone had issues with the volume control on this headset?
I just got one to go with my 8525. It paired without issue. the music sounds great and calls work without issue as well.
However, I lowered the volume using the buttons on the headset and soon realized that i can not raise the volume. So now the head set is basically useless.
Is this a defective headset or is there some issue with a2dp?
thanks
mine are great

[Q] Problems with Corded Headsets

Hey there everybody!
After flashing away from STOCK i've come to notice problems with corded headsets (I'm using normal headphones right now).
For Example, any kind of sound is extremely low volume, that is until i press the button (that normally would trigger some kind of phone function, or the voice search - which it doesn't).
This only exists with corded headsets for me, not bluetooth ones.
Anyone else have this? Any ideas on this?
Shoot!
I had noticed when I flashed GBTweaked on my phone, I had plugged in an older headset and it stated that my device was not compatible with my phone; even though I had no issues with the stock.
I wasn't really concerned about it as I typically use my bluetooth headset anyway... In fact I can't even remember why I had pulled out that headset to begin with.

Headset mic stopped working/barley working. Software issue.

Hello everyone,
My LG G3 is giving me a hard time, when I connect a headset, its microphone isn't working or it does but it's barley audible compared to the device's own mic.
The headphones part is working as usual and when the headset is connected sounds goes only through them like it should.
I've started using this headset a few days ago and it worked like a charm but then it's suddenly stopped working like it had been.
Fortunately I have another LG G3 on hand, so first I checked the headset with it and it works perfect.
So then I've replaced the 3.5 audio jack from the other G3 into my own to figure out if it is causing the problem and it is NOT,
since I got no improvement in my own phone and I also put MY jack in the other G3 and it worked there flawlessly with two different headsets.
I've been trying to record into / monitor with two different apps (lg audio recorder and another another one).
I've killed all apps running in the background. I've restarted numerous times, ran CCleaner to clear cache memories and whatever.
At one point a few days ago, maybe it was just before it started (and this might be a clue) the "plugged device" icon or "headset" icon on the notification bar stayed even after I've disconnected the headset and I think I needed to restart the phone but if i'm not wrong the headset kept working after that.
I was trying to find any kind of audio service to restart or anything like that but I didn't find any, I just killed them all to see if it helps.
I've also tried using "soundabout" app to try to force the audio path to the headset and played with some settings but to no avail (I disabled soundabout service after that attempt).
Right now I see no other option but a hard reset and I'm pretty sure it will solve the issue. but I hate going through backing up and restoring everything. and even so, who said this issue won't happen again? I've tried to search for an answer but found nothing like my problem on the web.
I just read something old from 2013 that mentions a bug in android audio. not sure it's related. something about "AudioPolicyMangerBase" (it seems I can't post links yet) from an app that had a switch to switch between headset mode or phone mode. but in any case it's no longer maintained. again, not sure it's related.
Update: Now I got no sound with two different headsets on the SECOND LG G3 as well. it seems messing with it around, plugging and unplugging messes with it's software somehow and maybe it locks the audio route in a way that it's can't work.
Any way to reset all audio ins/outs routes in the device?
I'll appreciate your help. Thanks a lot!
Roy.

Bluetooth audio very low, possible interference with other BT devices?

See title. Also experiencing audio skipping when connected to my car. I believe it may have to do with connecting/disconnecting to Wi-Fi, as it eventually gets better after awhile.
I have a pair of powerbeats 2 that worked fine when I first got my 5t two weeks ago. Now I have to go to Bluetooth settings to turn them on and can't control any of the buttons like volume and skipping tracks. Seems like none of the controls for the earbuds work. The main concern is how low the audio is. I have to have the volume set to max in order to hear anything.
I did try switching Bluetooth settings from sdc to aptx or whatever. Tried resetting data/cache in bluetooth settings. No luck.
I'm sort of convinced there's some interference with my Fitbit, as I just started using this device recently. I really hope this isn't the case. I've also tested the headphones on other phones and the sound quality is fine.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Headphone Sensitivity Problem

Over the past several days I have encountered a serious problem whenever I try to use headphones with my Mi 6. When I have a headphone plugged into the audio USB dongle and attempt to play music, at the slightest vibration, tracks will start and stop playing, tracks will change, the volume will shift, and the microphone will activate. This has made it almost impossible to listen to music with the phone anymore. I have tested this with two headsets, which both cause the effect, though it does not happen if I do not have a headset plugged in. Because I have had this phone since soon after it was released, my guess is this problem was caused by a recent MIUI (I'm on 10 8.10.11 Beta) update. It kept occurring even after I installed Blackplayer and tried using that instead.
It sounds more like a hardware problem to me, dirty or loose connections

I tried cleaning everything as best as I could, but to no avail. Does anyone else have any experience with this problem, or is there a way I could disable the phone from accepting input from the USB port so that my headphones will be usable?
