Help Wired headset not functioning

[markzolotoy]

I used to be able to pick up/end calls, but not anymore. When I am getting an incoming call and pushing a button on a mic it's not doing anything. I have to slide to pick it up. I had powered my phone down a couple of times, did not help. Any idea?

Thanks

No help, but I'll comment that I've not been able to get a wired set to work well with the GS2, especially when driving. I've used a monobud for years with every phone I've had, but despite trying a couple different ones with this phone, I had people complain about not being able to hear me well, and likewise I'd have trouble hearing them - volume just seemed limited. Finally had to give up and went with a Jabra hands free visor thing, that works surprisingly well.

But the funny thing that it worked. How, in the world, this would stop working if I did not do anything? It shouldn't work in the first time? So, lucky me? With all these discussions about which phone is better ... I used to have iPhone. Shit like this would not even possible with it. Everything if it worked it worked.

Well, except for the antenna's.

iPhone and Apple itself, is a closed platform. You get some more stability/reliability... but give up individuality and customization (except for some really *cool* cases).

I tried two Samsung headsets with my phone, and neither one accepted a call when I pressed the button. I also have a Luxe headset, and it works fine.
