Just moved to a OnePlus X from a Nexus 5. I was disappointed to find that my existing 3-button headphones from Sennheiser work different on the OnePlus X.
On the N5, pressing the middle button muted the mic during any calls. This was useful as I often had to take calls in a very noisy and busy office.
On the OPX, pressing the middle button ends the call.
Anyone know of any headphones that will mute instead of end the call on the OPX? Or is there an app or setting that I can toggle?
You can try that :

There is a paid version.
There are others on Playstore.

thats actually how it should behave
I tried some. No great app found.
The best should be to have a music player who support it.
On last android, some "shortcuts" are reserved for google now, that's why that seems more complicated than before..

I've been playing with my Defy for a while, and I've not found any Mp3Player that can do play/pause/next with the included headset AND ALSO answer calls when they come in with the same button.
I used to have a Nokia 5800 which had an awesome headset with play|pause|next|previous|stop|answercall buttons.
I've been unable to find something like that for Defy (android really), is this an "issue" or does it have a solution?
Thanks in advance to whoever helps
Can't say for sure they work as mine haven't arrived yet but Zagg Smartbuds are suppose to be able to do that using multiple presses and long presses & an analog volume control

Thanks for the answer, can you post your results when you receive them?
It's funny cause MY headset on a Galaxy S with Winamp configured exactly the same, actually goes to the next song with double press, but not in my defy.
Hope yours work fine =) I want to be able to at least skip songs and also answer/hang up from the headset=)
Got my ZaggSmartBuds today and had a chance to play with them. At 1st I wasn't real happy with them as all I could do was pause the misic and if I did anything else like long press or double press it would open up the other players I had installed. So I started gettting rid of them one my one, I had Mixing, Songbird, & Tunewiki, plus the stock music app.
I don't remember which one I think it was Tunewiki with nothing else installed when you douple clicked or long clicked it would bring up the voice command app. Didn't try answering the phone as it didn't work the music apps well. Un-install all of those and installed PowerAmp and now I can answer the phone, music pauses when the call come in, answered it by pressing the button on the headset. Music returns at the end of the call when the party hangs up or you press the button again.
Long press and it will skip the playing song and go to the next one. There are some options in PowerAmp to set the button to Double/Triple click, so you can go forward or reverse didn't try that option.
The SmartBuds came with 2 sizes for foam ear pieces and 3 sizes or silcone ear pieces with a nice little hard shell zipper case to carry them in. I liked the volume control inline even though it was analog I didn't have to adjust the volume on the phone from it's normal setting yet I could still adjust the volume or mute it. I didn't have to turn the volume down for the call as it was to loud but was able to do that with the inline control. The buds have amazing sound. It takes a little practice to inset the buds in my ears as they are angled once I got the hang of it they slipped right in.
Hope that answered your question
Hi,
As gramps50 wrote above, with PowerAmp you can set up in the option to : play or stop the music with the handset button, when a call is coming, the music stops and you can answer with the same button. When you finish your call, the music restarts automatically.

Thanks both for the input.
I'll give that a try. It still amazes me that a BASIC functionality like the Nokia headsets include, does not seem to be available on this phone! it's really weird!
App called Handset Button Controller maybe help you.

thanks! i've used poweramp and it worked fine=)
Does anybody here have some experience with the Bose MIE2 (NOT MIE2i!!!!!)? I'd like to know if these Headphones are working together with the SGS2, especially the Headset buttons (pickup call, end call, volume...)
Thanx and Cheers

got these and they sound great.
the volume buttons don't work but the end and start call button does. if you use PowerAMP you can use double and triple click to change track.
Thanks for your reply! Did you already try the "Headset Button Control" app to set up the volume buttons?
Cheers

@Zaphod_b_1 - seems like the volume control does not work on my SGS2 with "headset button control APP", but pause/play button works...
Hi everyone, I've been trying to find some info on volume adjustment for wired ear buds with microphone. I want to raise the volume on the microphone attached to the ear buds which should be doable since I see smartphones are similar to desktops. I assume the microphone/ear buds have some kind of technology or something that maybe cancels some sounds because it has a soft button that opens the music player when it is pushed down for a few seconds and muted the microphone when pressed once then UN-muted when pressed a second time. I hope there are apps out there that can adjust the volume or preferably it can be done natively.

Hi,
I use the headset button to control my music. From what I have figured out, one press pauses/plays music... two fast presses skips the track... I have tried this, and it works. But sometimes when I double tap the button, it starts ringing the last person I called Can I turn this off? This is really annoying, I seriously do not see why anyone would want this feature.
Iv'e tried one of those headset button apps, and wasn't very impressed, It only worked half of the time.
I mainly just want to stop the button calling people
Anyone any idea?
Thanks.
If you're using PowerAMP try turning on the 'High Priority' headset button handler. If that doesn't work or you have any other music player there's a free app called 'JAYS Headset Control' (works for any headset not just JAYS). Also has a lot of customisation you can do to your headset button actions .
I have a pair of handsfree headphones from my old galaxy s2 and I am wondering if there is any way I can make the button work for answering calls or skip tracks. The microphone works on calls, but I need to answer manually. Any help is good. Thanks!
Try this app, it's trial but there's a full version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kober.headset

and please report back if you found a solution (probably include the information in the first post for people looking for the same)
No extra apk needed for me
I have tested with a headphone from my LG gw620 and works fine (I am on stock unrooted jellybean Moto G).
I can answer calls by pressing button on earphone's mic. During a call if I press it silences my mic and if i press it reactivates mic. (I can't end call, so)
In stand by mode a short press triggers my last multimedia apk used (radio, music, etc..) and while playing them if i press button I get pause.
Long press always ends in same end: google Voice search.
Greetings
I installed the paid apk but it does not work.
Had you any joy with this? Having same issue.
