Headphone button on Nexus 4 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 stock headphone. There are 3 button on it, one for call receiving, 2 other to adjust phone's volume. I can use the call receiving button to answer a call and pause/play the playing song, but these 2 other buttons do nothing. I put it in the OneX and I can next/prev in the music player by using these 2 buttons. Any one have the same issue with me?
Regards,
Phu

[Q] Apple headphones / earpods with nexus 4

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has used iphone 4s headphones or the new earpods with microphone with Nexus 4. If so, can you provide some feedback in terms of whether or not the buttons and the microphone work to make calls/ use with skype, and/or use with music apps?
Thanks,
I'm also interested if they work on Nexus 4 or not as I want to buy new headphones and my favourite ones seem only to work on iDevices because of the pin assignment and are not recognized by my current phone. Would be nice if someone could check this by plugging in the original Apple headphones and check if you can listen to music with them.
I can confirm that both the middle button and the mic work just fine with the ear pods. Volume buttons don't work, as I expected.
Borrowed a pair off a friend with an iDevice.

I had have quite some problems while talking over the ear phones of earlier Galaxy Nexus and Apple Ear pods as the other person doesn't seem to hear my voice properly, whereas I have seen everything else working properly while listening the music except Volume Controls.
So if you want to buy these for calls and Voice Chatting over VOIP, I suggest to do some enough research on OMTP and CTIA for nexus 4.
for all android and blackberry devices, you can use the pause/mute and mic but volume buttons wont work as they are designed to only work on iDevices

Can I ask you something. When you were using headset control did you have artefacts on lock screen like either shrunk camera app or music widget that was blinking intermittently?
This only happens when on lock screen (screen on) and pressing headset button to play music ...

Headphones music control

Here's another problem I encountered using s4. When using the button on the headphones that came with the phone to switch to next music track I noticed that it only works about 50% of the time and other 50% it recognizes it as play/pause command which is really annoying and makes headphone controls practically useless. Anybody had same problems?

nope yours are probably faulty
But it seems as software problem not hardware because if I only press the button once, music stops and resumes every time.

It has 3 buttons, 2 volume keys and a call button.
But the volume keys does not work, they work fine on my iPad.

Try other normal headphones if they work then probably Soundmagic might not be compatible with N4.
