I'm sorry for necroing an old post, but hey...I necroed even my user name, as I've not logged into this site for a while!
Anyways, I just picked up this lovely headset, especially since I noticed it had a card reader built in, which is great for when I go to the gym...I was originally planning on just using my old phone to play music, but heck...why not just get this badboy and ditch the phone altogether!
Anyways, I'm using this with a Nexus 5, and I WAS really happy with it, until I realized I don't see a way to have the main action button fire up google now. This means I can't place a call or send a text without taking my phone out of my pocket! This really sucks, especially considering both my old sony mw600 and my still working but obviously on it's last legs samsung HS3000 can do this very easily by just using an app that changes the default application fired up by the bluetooth action buttons.
This app though, does nothing with this headset! I even tried removing all of the Sony smart applications from my phone...pressing the action button still does...NOTHING
Has anyone found a way for the action button to fire up google now? It's hilarous to me that a headset as expensive as this is, doesn't do what almost every other headset can do.
I want to like it, I'm really happy with the sound quality (especially since it doesn't have the stupid EQ button like the Samsung HS3000 does...I mean, I have an EQ on my phone, if I ever want to use one thank you very much!) but that big useless button just needs to have some usability with google now, somehow!
If you know of a way to make this work, I would appreciate it. It is worth mentioning, that with other headsets, this has not been an issue, I just set the bluetooth launch app from the play store to fire up google search, and voila..it works! With this headset, the action button only seems to be viable to answer a call, or to hangup a call.
In other words, useless!
