I think my headphone or phone jack broke, and if I move the jack a bit, somehow the headphones activate the google assistant or pause the music, so this is from the button.

Can I deactivate it on a non rooted Huawei P8Lite (Android 6.0)

Software wise: HeadsetBlocker & Wizdroid both attempt to block headphone buttons. However both are very outdated. Can install and try.

Hardware wise: You can try a 4 pole to 3 pole adapter to remove the microphone (I am not positive this will work)

  • I downloaded the WizDroid app, I hope it's going to work, i'll update in the next days. And about the adapter, I won't try anyway beacuse I can't, Amazon is not in my area, but I'll search for one if the app won't work – sticsk Nov 15 '17 at 15:54

This solution certainly won't work for everyone, but if your headphones happen to have a removable cable: trying turning it upside down (plugging the phone end into the headphones and vice versa). With my particular cable this disables the controls.
