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.

sorry for bringing in any iWord but i was wondering if the media headphones with the volume controls and mic would work with the Evo. I know the mic will and the center button to answer or hang up.. but are there any functions like holding to get voice dial or double click to next track? these would be extremely convenient for the gym and they look pretty good... gotta admit.
THANKS
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 keep my phone on vibrate all day at work. i also listen to music. i use klipsch S4a II's with the android specific in-line button. if i just use my headphones to listen to music, everything is fine. but as soon as i press the inline button to pause or double click to skip a track, my phones sound profile changes itself from vibrate to ringer. needless to say, if im not paying attention and i unplug my headphones and get up from my desk, my phone is no longer on vibrate and has rung at inappropriate times in a meeting. my note2 used to do this but fixed itself at some point. not sure if it was a software update that fixed it or a setting somewhere. ive looked all over and i dont see anything on the note3 to adjust to change this behavior. anyone else with this problem?
i guess im the only one with this problem then?
I have a US Cellular G3 and I play a lot of music. The most annoying problem I've come across is that when I hit the skip button, it just raises the volume, as if I had just hit the volume up button. And the skip back button lowers the volume. I've been using Rocket Player but I noticed this morning that it does is to the stock music app too. I've looked all over online and I haven't seen this problem pop up anywhere, so has anyone come across this problem and is there a fix for it?
Thank you kindly!
Edit: I forgot to mention that it only happens in the lock screen controls, or on bluetooth. In app works fine.

install xposed and g3tweakbox there is an option there to skip track when long pressed
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..
