Z2 with Sony MH-EX300AP - Xperia Z2 Accessories

Hi Guys,
I tried using the Sony MH-EX300AP with my Z2. The headset button acts weird. When I press it either randomly increases volume, or decreases volume, or starts the music player, or acts like the app key. Its not consistent.
Has anyone else tried it with the Z2?
Also, any suggestions on a decent earphones with volume rockers + Button that works with the Z2?

[Q] MH500 Headphones + Music

Hello,
I'm using the MH500 headphones that came with my X10. I was wondering if there is any information or a list of press sequences available on how to control music playback.
For example, what press sequences are recognized by the X10 to control music, or would that be specific to the music player I'm using? I'm using PowerAmp atm.
So far I can perform pause,play and next by doing a long press and double pressing the button. Is there a way to go previous,fastforward,rewind?
Thanks,
W.

Beats by Dr. Dre half working

I've tried my SoloHD headphones on Sony S Tablet, and I've seen that them work so well (differently from the Xperia MiniPro who has a different audio jack setting). The central button when is pressed, pauses the song, another press to play (in music app, youtube etc); but the volume buttons and the double click on the center don't work. I think is requested a root solution to modify the key mapping, but until now is a great feature using this headphone on S1

[Q]Headphone button not working

Hi guys!
My current phone is a Thl W200 and it's got Jelly Bean 4.2.1 and I'm rooted.
My problem is with the headphone button which does not work. Before I had a Sony Xperia J and the headphones that I have used to work with it( the button, when pressed, did various commands such as play/pause/next etc.) but now the button does absolutely nothing when I play a media file.
I've run a few tests and I found out that my smartphone has CTIA standard (just like the Xperia J) and my headphones are compatible so there's no problem there. I also tried with a CTIA to OMTP cable to see if it works and nothing, the button doesn't control the music player.
One strange thing that I noticed is that if I get a phone call and I press the headphone button the call is answered, so it must work, somehow; Plus if I keep the button pressed the screen is locked and unlocked.
So my question is, if anyone knows, what can I do in order to use that little headphone button in order to control the music player?
P.S- I've also tried a few apps such as button controller, philips headset manager etc but they didn't work, the click was not registered.
Oh and another thing, I installed the key test app and when I pressed the headphone button the app didin't register any keys being pressed.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Volume Slider Resets Itself?

Just bought an Xperia Z Tablet and note that the volume seems low.
When I go to the Settings/Sound/Volumes I see the button on the first Volumes selector ie Music video games & other media is about half way across.
I slide it all the way and press OK but when I go back in it has reset itself to the half way marker?
I am using blue tooth headphones while this is happening.
Any ideas why or how to boost the volume?
OK, just plugged in some conventtional headphones and when turning the volume up got the warning message. This didn't appear with the bluetooth headset so the system limited the volume. Once I had set OK in conventional headphone mode it seemed to clear the way for full volume in bluetooth mode. Volume is fine now.

Why the audio control doesn't work in Xperia Z2 ?

In my previous phone LG G2, any headphone with audio control would work without a problem (that have three buttons (Vol +, pause , Vol -), double clicking Vol+ will skip to the next song, and Vol- to get to the previous song.
In my xperia Z2, that is not the issue, pause button will raise the volume up, the same thing to Vol+ button.
even the headhpones with the only mic and one button will raise the song volume instead of pausing.
Is there any way to fix this ?
Never had this issue, and I've used many types of headsets with my device (htc, samsung, sony, nokia) and even bt stereo headsets.
is this happening with the Walkman app only, or with any audio app you use ? have you tested other apps ?
Yes, it is universal, some people mentioned because Z2 use connector CTIA instead of the older OMTP standard, but apperantly is not that, some people get to headset to work and others not.
