Galaxy S 2 Headset Controls.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S 2 and v-moda, one button earphones. I NEED to be able to use the one button to control my music at anytime like (play/pause, skip/previous track, and maybe volume controls). Right now all it knows what to do is use the phone caller commands. This is why i loved my ipod touch:mad:, because i felt the power of three spider monkeys put together, now i need to feel that power in my SGS2. Obviously this is a huge major issue and needs to be addressed now. Thanks so much.:)
 
You are using a specific Galaxy S2 made to Sprint's specifications, with different hardware and software compared to the international versions released outside the US. It may be that the software used by Sprint for the phone does not have the capability you want. The international versions have the capability you seek.

I don't think you can do anything about it other than get a different phone or an S2 from a different network, or root it and install modified software.

I recently changed my iphone for the [far superior] Samsung Galaxy S2 [smartphone of the year award 2011 in UK] - Most in-line controls on headphones [if not all] are solely designed [unjustly] for Apple. I had 3 different headsets for my [previous] iphone and NONE of them performed ALL their functions on the Samsung, SO... after loads of trial-and-error, and this may be Samsung Galaxy S2 or S3 specific but the "Headset Button Controller" on Google play [
