* Separate volume levels will remember the media volume when (un)plugging your headset and restore it when (un)plugging your headset later.
* Ear protection allows you to limit the volume level.
* Volume reset and rise will start where you set it to start and rises based on the long-press delay.
Phone features

* Execute actions when plugging your headset in or out.
* Turn on 'Headset (with mic) only' or 'Ignore system clicks' to selectively execute button actions.
Compatibility
* The play/pause button's long press functionality does not currently work with Jelly Bean due to Google forcing Voice Search to be launched.
* Works with almost all devices/wired headsets.
* Volume buttons on iPod/iPhone headsets will NOT work. This is due to hardware issues.
* Bluetooth headsets might not work.
* Fast forward and rewind require the media player to support it.
* TTS functionality requires Text-to-Speech to be installed on your phone.
Troubleshooting
* If Headset Droid seems to not be responding, press menu and select 'Check for conflicts'.
* If no conflicts are found, use the Headset monitor to see how Headset Droid is receiving and handling button interaction.
* For further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Notes
* Apps used to control headset clicks will conflict with ICS's lockscreen music widget due to Android's architecture.
* Please use the trial version to check if Headset Droid works without issues with your phone/headset/player. Uninstall the trial before installing the full version.
If you have any other suggestions, questions or issues, feel free to contact me and I'll do my best to respond asap. Please don't use reviews for complaints as I will be unable to respond to your issue.

Totally solved my "headset's got only one button and I have to get my phone out all the time" problem. Also solved the annoying longpress google now bug! (Just by hitting a checkbox in general settings) 100 % recommendation! Amazing app!

Like everything else I've tried so far, this doesn't let you customize the volume up and down buttons on the Xiaomi Hybrid. Slightly more customizable than Jays' app but UI is worse. Same amount of unnecessary permissions.

Please, please add multiple profiles and a way to switch between using Tasker or the headset. Otherwise very good app, but can't switch to it from my current headset button app without that feature (and I really want to).

I have a pair of Bose Sound true in ear headphones that was built for Samsung Galaxy. It works just fine on my Note 3 but the buttons don't work at all with my Nexus 5. Is there any solution?

I couldn't get 3 and 4 clicks to work on Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Apple headset. Headset Button ControllerTrial seems to work, though.

This app is going in the right direction but the choosing of functions is far too complicated with the full list of all 3 permutations of buttons for a given function. Also i wanted an app that would mute my phone instead of ending the call and i couldnt get it to work. May be an incompatibility with ths GS3.

The app is cool, but it doesn't detect the volume buttons on my Klipsch Image One headphones. If the dev can get it to cooperate with my headphones I would buy this app.

Setting it to control anything but Google music play. makes double click call your last dialed number? And you cannot change any controls with Google music anyway

Good app, does what it says. For those complaining about iPhone headphones, I will Never work with them, it is not this app's and patent thing. Get yourself some actual Android headphones!

Update - after stunningly awesome Developer support, I learned that you can regain the lock screen functionality by turning off the service in the app's main screen. Now I can have the lock screen functionality in the car, and the headset functionality while on my headphones. 5 stars!
