Hi
I just got a Bose MIE2 headset. Sound is soft and buttons don't work (just makes the sound a bit louder). I installed the Voodoo control + app. This solved the volume issue but obvioulsy not the button problem. I thought this headset was compatible with the Galaxy S?
Any solutions for this?
Thanks Steven
there are two model, mie2 and mie2i, the one come with volume+/- suppose to work with apple ipod/iphone only, the general one don't have the volume+/- button
I have the regular mie2. Just one button to take calls and start/end songs. Button does nothing though.
then may be not compatible with i9000. I just try 2 similar headset on i9000, both cannot control play/stop, but working with Milestone.
Confirming compatibility issue with Bose MIE2. Normally plays very silent, but while holding key on headset - normally.

Hello
I am looking for in-ear headphones which support play/pause, microphone and volume control. Preferably this should be accomplished by 3 buttons: middle button for play/pause and left/right buttons for volume control (just like on iOS).
I do not look for one-button or bluetooth solutions.
As I already searched on xda, I found those headphones:

Here are a few that all three buttons work on one s
- urbeats (htc version )
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-00
- Nokia purity inear ( it say one only Nokia but will work on htc one s)
I tested all of them on htc Sony Nokia lumia and Samsung galaxy phones

However, I do not know if they work with the Nexus 4 or if there are more headphones available.
Could somebody help me out here please?
I gave up looking for headphones with buttons like those because the main reason you have headphones/earbuds is because of the music or podcasts, with an occasionally call here and there...well for me anyways.
And IMO, the one button is good enough which can be found on most headphones. This "universal" button usually just plays, pauses, answers calls, and now a long press will launch google now.
However, you can add an app called Jays headset app or remotecontrol for earphones app. This will enable the number or clicks to determine certain functions like volume control. GL
the 3 button headphones dont work with this phone. It is my understanding that the devices that support the 3 button controllers have a special circuit that is not present on this phone. I have a samsung 3 button and htc 3 button headset that do not work on this phone. I have tried several of the apps that allow you to program the buttons but they did not help.
Just get a nice single button headset and be happy.
Could you recommend a good single button one? My HTC earphones are screwed and I'm looking for new ones for my nexus.

If you are looking for in ear headphones, you cannot go wrong with Kipsche or Shure's with the integrated mics. If you are on a budget, Jays One + for android is an alternative you can look at for decent in ears.
For over ears, there are so many to look at. You can look at any ones that function for "i" devices and they will work for our phones. It's that ONE button or middle button that is the only thing that you are looking for it to work with your phone.

Sigh. Thanks for the information. After no USB on-to-go and a crappy battery life now this. I wonder what will come next.
I guess I will have to look for good one button headphones and an app which supports altering the function of this button. Any recommendations for such an app?
During my time googling on this very issue i came across these:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007IPKBA4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=AEUMIRKFWF0IJ
supposedly made by philips precisely for android. philips says: "Personalise your sound and buttons via the Philips Headset App" so..
however, and if i 'm not mistaken, they 're 1 button headphones - but as another person before me 's said, you apparently can determine what a certain number of clicks will do, so you probably can work around the issue.
i 'm probably getting a pair (not sure if i 'm going with these cause i 'm feeling like investing seeing as i 'm out and about a good chunk of my every day and am always listening to music - being a musician and an audiophile) next month - kinda tight financially atm , so when I do i 'll get back to you guys.
currently stuck w/ the apple headphones (not the earpods). mic works, middle button answers/ends calls and plays/pauses music - volume controls just won't work.
'nyways, hope it helped!

Ah right, JAYS Headset Control, thanks
Does anyone else have a problem getting even a 1-button headset to work? It seems I can't even plug it in properly (sound is mono and without bass), and I tried really hard. I tested both an OEM headset that came with my ZTE Blade and a Sony MH650. Both used to work fine on the Blade but on the N4 - no way. Headsets without microphone (and one line less on the headphone jack) work fine.

No bass is fine here with cords with integrated mic. All the earphones I have tried besides the Shure SE215 work for me.

This obviously means you have to look for headsets that are "Apple compatible" (minus the volume buttons)...

I thought I was so smart researching this (in a non nexus 4 specific way) ahead of time, found some a 3 button headset 'made for android' by htc, and alas, only one button works. I have to go out of my way to find an apple compatible 3 button headset to work with my google branded phone? Geez.
But thanks guys for letting me know why this one won't work. :good:

No the three button headsets are far and between. I haven't seen any that work. I mean even my old N1 headsets don't work. Well the middle button works. The iPhone 3 buttons will not work either.
Just use the one button, which I actually prefer and use an app to map button presses to forward or back up. Tedious? I guess so, but I have no issues with one button headphones. I own a slew of them lol.
I can see where I misread those posts now. No 3 buttons work at all. That sucks.
But what about the people that claim that there are headphones that actually work with the three button?

up to the phonemaker..
The support for 3 buttons or not on an Android phone is up to each phonemaker. Samsung Nexus 3 works fine with 3-button headsets for Android, so does the S3, S4, and many more.. while Nexus 4 does not But the Nexus 5 does (!)
I have a Nexus 3 and 4 and I also actually think music sounds better through the Samsung made Nexus but perphaps that is just mental or the sounchip has something to do with it.
3-Button Headset for Android
I use a 3-button headset from Degauss Labs Sweden and it works and sound great (made for Android).

They also have a really well working headset app (works with any headset by the way) that makes buttoncontrol programmable, so you can choose what 2,3 or more clicks will do for U.

A mistake by Google not to request that from LG one might think.

hi to all,
this htc 3 buttons headset works fine on my N5 (all the buttons)

hope the information can help :fingers-crossed:
Headset App doin it for u.
No matter what headset you might want to make that react more intelligently or atleast the way you personally would like it
aka 'tailored button actions'. I recommend using any 'headset button controller app' via Google Play. The one I use - free+adfree..

The + - will never work on android. Use the central button with # headset droid # works for me. Has a patch to get round holding a single press triggering google now. You can set up the combination of presses for volume, and track skip, forward, reverse, etc

Hello I recently got the S8 and I'm having an issue with my old earphones ( Sony MDR-EX650 ) it had a single button to skip, pause songs and answer calls, when pressing the button sometimes it increases the volume, sometimes lowers the volume and a lot of the time it opens OK Google. I've tried with stock player and also Poweramp, I really like these headphones and the sound quality but it's annoying not being able to skip, they worked fine on a Nexus 6P and a Galaxy S6, anyone know what it could be?

It possibly won't change your situation, but you can skip the songs on the lock screen. Have you tried earbuds that Samsung provided in the box, do they work as expected? It is possible that wiring or the connector isn't compatible fully with this phone. I have seen where some earbuds behave differently on Apple products and on Android. Recently manufacturers started mentioning on the box of their products: compatible with iPhone or Android...

I haven't tried any others yet but I will give it a go, these headphones worked fine with other android devices including the Galaxy S6, It's mostly for when I'm on the move and unable to take my phone out to change the song.
Hi
Got this Moto E4 as a cheap backup until I get a better one, anyway the headphone button works fine to play/pause the track but doesn't double-click to skip song, triple click to go to previous song like it did on my nexus 6.
The earphones are Xaomi Hybrids and the volume keys work fine too.
I've tried a couple apps to change the functionality of the button but it still refuses to act like it did on my old phone!
Any ideas?????
Thanks
It's a different phone, features will be different. It's not a Nexus, and will likely be missing some small things. You can root to add some functions, with xposed or custom rom.
