Help wired headset mic not working

I read somewhere (I forget now), that if you hold in the centre button when plugging in the headphones the mic works.

I have a set of Phillips ones that works this way. the good news is that it is a software problem so we may get a solution in the future.

Hold down what button? My headphones don't have a button or volume control but the mic on the phone still gets disabled when they are plugged in.
