Q: Headphones remote not working w/ iphone 6
Not sure when the problem started, if it was when I got my iPhone 6 or after that (possibly with an iOS update?), but now with some of my headphones the inline remote won't work (volume, click to play and skip tracks, etc.). Sound is still fine, but no controls. This has affected my Sony headphones (which I know worked with my iPhone 4S) and some of my Apple earbuds that I have. Other Apple earbuds work fine, so not sure if some of them are a newer generation?
I just tried my Sony headphones on my work Android phone, and the remote works, so it's not the headphones, it's the iPhone. I cleaned the jack out, too.
I tried searching but didn't find any solutions. Thanks for any help!
