Smart Key for Android
After purchasing the mdr 750 headphones I was astounded by the sound quality best in the market! Then the remote! No support information on compatability with said device and now a pair of underutilised and returned headphones a big shame as I'm a big fan of Sony and would have stayed with you for a smartphone (previous z2 user) if you hadn't have refrained from Releasing your true flagship into the UK!
Functionality is so limited, it might as well be useless. For example, I customized the single click on idle to listen for a voice command, the option for this command doesn't exist when music is playing. Waste of a download, this app
Very disappointed. Xperia Compact Z3, Android 6.0.1 (unrooted) and Sony MDR-EX650AP phones, but the button won't control any music player. That said, the mic doesn't seem to work at all either... Checked app settings etc. Works great on iPhones. FAIL!
The mext and previous track options don't work with third party apps. I am using Savan. The play and pause works though. Strange but would have been great to see track change option work with any music player that is currently playing.
It works almost fine but it doesnt detect the Music Player as a Music player it tells me that the phone has only the Radio And Google Play Music Player and I Dont Want To Use that because its confusing
Bought to work with my Sony headphones. With Samsung you only get music pause/forward; with calls only answer/end call. You get the same functionality without the app. Not worth the access to your data. Will be uninstalling.
Edit2: updated firmware and works again
Have 3 different music players on my phone. App says I have no compatible players installed. Does not answer a call. Can only launch voice search. How terribly exciting....NOT!
SoundCloud isn't compatible with it? That's retarded. Yes. Retarded. Make it compatible with anything that plays music hmm? And how am I supposed to be able to turn up music and be able to change tracks and be able to pause and play music with this app? Oh wait. You can't.
You need an APPLICATION for BASIC functionality for a simple button on your headset!? Really though!?! Smh... Android... Sometimes you really have one chromosome too many... ALSO! When I double press HOLD the button on my headset it should FAST FORWARD (and triple should rewind), IT SHOULD NOT OPEN GOOGLE'S POS VOICE SEARCH FFS!!! Stupid fng Android I swear to God... #triggered
Only Compatible With Google Play Music. I have 3 music player app, but it supports only google play music app. I have other music app and a inbuilt music player but it is not working with it. Please solve the problem.
Doesn't seem to work with my Nexus 6P and my MDR-100.
I cant answer or end calls... Using my house of marley earphone...
Works wonderfully with my nexus and xb450ap headphones. Can be customised based on preferences. Only suggestion is if it actually detects the time till which the key is pressed, more functionalities could have been added!
When I pressed remote button on headphone to stop music, the sound leaked through phone speakers. I was embarassed in a library.
Button features don't work with my s5. Now they are good for noise cancellation, but that's about it. Was expecting something better with a name like Sony...
When plugging in the headphones, can somebody help? It is a most annoying feature of Sony...
The headphones I purchased to accompanie the app are absolutely amazing. However, I wish the sound was louder, but the bass is on point! I'll mostly use these for exercising so they're perfect. Also, I wish more colors we're available. I purchased these in "white " from Walmart but I wish they we're pink instead. Good products!
Just pauses, doesn't start the song again. Other functions don't work at least not consistently. Hasn't been updated for years. Come ON Sony... it's not that hard!
Sometimes I would have an music app open, pause a song using the headphone remote; but when I try to resume the song, it just opens up my Google Play Music
Install it even if u dont have any sony earphone. It will remove the album art of song from unlock screen when playing in kitkat and above. It was the most embarrassing moment when i took out my phone to change a song and other people would see the photo of song artist (sometimes adult, sometimes girly) on lock screen, it solves that plus adds handful of features to the media button in earphone/headphone :)
Glad I found this. Gives my Z3 Compact full support for the buttons of my Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 (Android version). Sometimes laggy. Z5 has full support out of the box without lag, so maybe there's room for improvement...
Wish it worked. Tried several things to get it to work, but it doesn't work reliably enough to keep it installed. This is one of my gripes about Android... Wish I could control the phone/music and volume better via headphones.
The "Start last used Music App" command on idle mode, just takes too long to be executed, wastes too much time and is quite annoying. Otherwise, the application works fine.
This makes mdr-100aap remote work in my nexus 6p. Nobody from Google or Sony support had any answers for my issue, randomly stumbled on this solution. I don't understand why it works but it does.
Unfortunately, presses that involve 2 or 3 presses do not work. Only the single button press works for me (configurable). But that's the issue of not having a Sony phone.
Would it be possible to let us decide which music player the app starts by default when clicking the cablebutton? Such as Spotify. Or even better, know which was most recently used.
Not working. Xperia Z5 Compact. Does not seem to work for in call button presses, at all. Button to enable does not work. Configuration screen looks different from screenshots in gallery here on google play store. Tried again May 2016, still does not work.
Got a klipsch headphones, downloaded this extension so that the quick button on my headphones will be able to toggle next music track or pick up calls. Doesn't work. Please fix this.
I would say this option should be extended, to be used for other earphones also, I'm using Samsung EO EG920B, I'm not able to use this option
I pressed button for preset volume up. It started calling my friend, at 245am. Not impressed, deleting because I never put redial last number as an option. Disappointed
It does say that functionality will be limited on non-sony phones, but I thought it odd that the music player button allocations work but the answer-the-phone function doesn't
This is very useful app because somany android mobile music playrlers doesn't support the next song. This will do. Thank u so much

This app cannot be used with apps like sound cloud.
You only have 3 options for functions with a 1 button headset. Either single click, double click or triple click. I use 1 click for play/pause. 2 clicks to skip forward. 3 clicks to skip back. Then there are no functions left to control volume. Long press would be ideal for volume up. 1 click + long press would be ideal for volume down. 5 star if you could add this function.
This app is very useful to maximize the use of single key. Try it, you will love it for sure.
After updating my Xperia Z3c to Android 6 several bugs appeared. The app is not working with Deezer anymore, when hitting the button, instead of stopping the song, it opens default music app.
Too slow when interpreting taps. Not enough configurability. Does the job otherwise.

Works perfectly, the only improvement I would suggest is to allow changing the time delay waiting for button clicks. A double click goes to the next track within 0.5 seconds but a single click takes 3 seconds before pausing. I have a Z3 and MDR-1A headphones so there shouldn't be any issues.
