Earphones. - Wildfire General

Would the volume control on these earphones work with my Wildfire?

Ok, Just tested it out, (iPod Touch 3G Headphones, which are similar to that (And really genuine )), and, the volume control does not work. Only the centre button does, which Pauses / Resumes the song. On CM7 #31.
This is weird though, because I *THINK* the volume control worked when I was on the Stock ROM, had tested the same headphones way back then. :/
E: But really, if they are genuinely genuine, and, available in my area for $5, I would jump on it. Here it costs about $30-35. :/

I think that the volume control on the Apple devices is digital (aka it commands the phone how to change the volume setting) and are only recognized by an Apple device. I may be wrong here, so don`t quote me.
Guaranteed to work are headphones with analog volume control like the ones with a hardware slider (see ZAGG headphones) or the dial ones (a lot of headsets use the volume wheel, usually situated near or in the same plastic case as the mic.)

I'm planning to buy like 10 of them and selling them for $10 each to some of my friends.
If the pause button works, then its good too.

A little home-made business?

Do it. They are simply some of the best earbuds I have ever heard. None even comes close. (In Ears don't do it for me , simply because I have never been able to adjust to their level of comfort (or rather, the lack of it))

I think poweramp is compatible with the volume controls.

It isn't. I tried that as well along with the stock CM7 player when I tested it above.

Oh, Hopefully they will update it so it does work sometime in the future

Headphone remote control support?

Does the Nexus S support play/pause and back/forward tracks?
Can anyone who had a Nexus One plug in some HTC headphones and see if they work? AFAIK HTC and Apple use the same control scheme it's just that on the iPhone the controls operate volume while on HTC devices it sends next-track and prev-track to the app. So for all I know the electrical part may be industry standard.
What I'm wondering is: does the Nexus S support extensive headphone control? This is really the only thing holding me back from a purchase as I use those buttons constantly on my N1.
It will play/pause with the mic switch on my Etymotics HF-2 (iPhone compatible) headset. It will not answer/hangup on phone calls. It also will not double-click to advance the track.
If there's a setting to adjust that, I don't see it.
Thanks for the input, but I'm really talking about HTC headphones with dedicated prev/next track buttons.
It should be noted that there are some apps such as meridian music player that support double click to advance even though the hardware does not have it built in. I actually completely forgot about that.
As for hangup and pickup... despite there being an icon on my HTC N1 headphones, that button has *NEVER* worked. I really wonder if it works for anyone on any android phone

Hmmm...I'm not sure I could even find my HTC headphones (the only ones I would have would be the ones that came with the Nexus One. I'll see if I can dig them up. What do they look like, I haven't seen them in 9 months or so? LOL
This is a good question. I use the stock headset on my nexus one, and use the in line button, double tap fast forwards, double tap long press skips track, etc.
Then I just purchased a bose mobile headset for 140 bucks. It has the same one button, in line Mic, etc. It's specifically for cell phones. I had on idea this was a standard, but all the same click functions work just like the stock headset does. And the reviews people said it also worked with all the galaxy s variants, and other cell phones. So It's some type of standard.
And holy crap, the sound quality on this headset is mind blowing! My phone calls and music sounds insane! And the in line Mic is so incredibly good quality, my friends on the other end each asked if I changed something. Said it sounded so clear.
So I decided to install andRecorder and recorded 2 clips one with each headset, stock and bose , and played them back. And sure enough the bose was so insanely clear and crisp compared to stock headset I couldn't believe it.
It's the bose MIE2 mobile headset, and It's literally the best thing I've ever bought for my phone. So highly recommended. Music sounds superb on my phone.

I was sad to discover that it doesn't work.
I tried my Nexus One headphones on my Nexus S, and all three buttons register as the same button (play/pause on single tap, skip on double tap). I really enjoyed having back and forward. That's not even close to being enough of a reason for me to revert to using my Nexus One, though.
EDIT: Would anyone happen to know if it's possible to make it work? The stock Nexus S headphones have 4 conductors, as do the Nexus One headphones, so it's certainly not an electrical problem. I'm assuming it's something at the driver level.

Yes I very likely think it will still work. See my post above about the headset I just bought. Just find the directions for that, its a standard, and try the commands out. A few are double click skips to next track, double click and hold fast forwards, etc. I bet the nexus s accepts all those commands.

Replacement headphones

Anyone knows what headphones + mic + control will work with the Focus?
I love the original ones!! but I haven't found any option with the same buttons
Thanks
I have broken my original ones and found out the Beats and skull candy which have a microphone are not compatible... sound goes through but microphone does not pick up sound.
I did find a few sites claiming compatibility with V-moda's vibe duo headsets and have ordered them online and will arrive today. I will post an update if the mic works with Focus.
EDIT; if you like my comments please give me a thanks

The original ones are perfect! I really like them even versus one expensive phillips ones with noise cancelling electronics
The v-moda's arrived and work perfectly. they don't have the three buttons but you can answer calls and what not... the sound quality is honestly phenomenal, they sound better than the beats headphones that I returned because of MIC incompatibility.
they are just as pricey as the Beats running you about 100 bucks but it is way worth it

so i tried another set of headphones. this time the headphones with an in-line remote that came with the third gen ipod. Same things work such as the klipsch, pause, play, skip, and backwards work. you can also use this and klipsch to answer calls but the mic doesn't work so its kind of pointless. the volume buttons don't work either.
i really would love to find better headphones than the stock ones, i like good quality headphones
Have you guys tried the OEM headphones from the Captivate?

Great news, my Etymotic hf2's work perfectly! Including the pause button.
It seems that the alternative config used on the SGS1 is history, hurrah.
oh snap dog this is great news, my MIE2 headset should work perfect then as well. glorious news
The seems to be the case because the original Galaxy S earphones don't work properly on the SGS II, they sound weird and with an echo. Looks like Samsung are learning.
This is good news. I was under the impression that sgs2 also had the weird 3.5mm jack layout.
But if this is true, then could any and all of you that has some play/pause buttoned headphones try this out?

This should take care most of the other headphones then, because you can easily find info if it's iphone compatible

I'm not sure what type he has. friend told me it works well.
I have Triple.Fi 10vi, its iphone compatible. it works as well. play/stop and mic. all work perfect with SGS2.
Can I just check if the volume up and down from the inline are working too?
wait a minute i'm a bit confused now. i purchased the bose MIE2 mobile phone headset, with inline mic and single pause button. this headset also has an iphone compatible version right next to it in the store.
i bought the standard mobile phone version, which works fine with the nexus one, nexus s, and any other mobile phone that supports the standard with the single button.
but if you guys are saying the iphone headsets work, does that mean that my standard mobile version will NOT work, since ideally the iphone and standard mobile version are different, else there would not be two seperate versions in teh first place? now i'm confused.
would samsung use the iphone standard and NOT support the mobile phone standard that the rest of the industry uses?
With the release of iPhone 3GS, Apple did something new with their headphones. They expanded from the single button inline control to one with three buttons. The two extra buttons do volume up and down. In order to get this volume +/- thing working, iirc, manufacturers had to implement some new little chip into their headphones.
So Roger I think your headphones would work fine with the single button, but I'm more curious about the volume +/- functionality

thanks. i should have clarified that my headphones DO have the volume up/down in addition to the single inline pause button. i just forgot to consider those volumes into it. so should work then.
still i wonder why two seperate iphone and regular version exists for the MIE2. maybe it is for the OLD iphone before the 3Gs changes were made...
can anyone confirm that the volume controls work?
Guyz suggest some adapter which has use play,pause,Next song, previous song buttons. I have Shure SE 530 headphones. I just need an adapter which connects to the phone and can my headphones and contain all these buttons.

3 button remote in-ear headphones with volume control

Hello
I am looking for in-ear headphones which support play/pause, microphone and volume control. Preferably this should be accomplished by 3 buttons: middle button for play/pause and left/right buttons for volume control (just like on iOS).
I do not look for one-button or bluetooth solutions.
As I already searched on xda, I found those headphones:
thelastred said:
Here are a few that all three buttons work on one s
- urbeats (htc version )
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-00
- Nokia purity inear ( it say one only Nokia but will work on htc one s)
I tested all of them on htc Sony Nokia lumia and Samsung galaxy phones

However, I do not know if they work with the Nexus 4 or if there are more headphones available.
Could somebody help me out here please?
I gave up looking for headphones with buttons like those because the main reason you have headphones/earbuds is because of the music or podcasts, with an occasionally call here and there...well for me anyways.
And IMO, the one button is good enough which can be found on most headphones. This "universal" button usually just plays, pauses, answers calls, and now a long press will launch google now.
However, you can add an app called Jays headset app or remotecontrol for earphones app. This will enable the number or clicks to determine certain functions like volume control. GL
the 3 button headphones dont work with this phone. It is my understanding that the devices that support the 3 button controllers have a special circuit that is not present on this phone. I have a samsung 3 button and htc 3 button headset that do not work on this phone. I have tried several of the apps that allow you to program the buttons but they did not help.
Just get a nice single button headset and be happy.
Could you recommend a good single button one? My HTC earphones are screwed and I'm looking for new ones for my nexus.

If you are looking for in ear headphones, you cannot go wrong with Kipsche or Shure's with the integrated mics. If you are on a budget, Jays One + for android is an alternative you can look at for decent in ears.
For over ears, there are so many to look at. You can look at any ones that function for "i" devices and they will work for our phones. It's that ONE button or middle button that is the only thing that you are looking for it to work with your phone.

Sigh. Thanks for the information. After no USB on-to-go and a crappy battery life now this. I wonder what will come next.
I guess I will have to look for good one button headphones and an app which supports altering the function of this button. Any recommendations for such an app?
During my time googling on this very issue i came across these:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007IPKBA4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=AEUMIRKFWF0IJ
supposedly made by philips precisely for android. philips says: "Personalise your sound and buttons via the Philips Headset App" so..
however, and if i 'm not mistaken, they 're 1 button headphones - but as another person before me 's said, you apparently can determine what a certain number of clicks will do, so you probably can work around the issue.
i 'm probably getting a pair (not sure if i 'm going with these cause i 'm feeling like investing seeing as i 'm out and about a good chunk of my every day and am always listening to music - being a musician and an audiophile) next month - kinda tight financially atm , so when I do i 'll get back to you guys.
currently stuck w/ the apple headphones (not the earpods). mic works, middle button answers/ends calls and plays/pauses music - volume controls just won't work.
'nyways, hope it helped!

Does anyone else have a problem getting even a 1-button headset to work? It seems I can't even plug it in properly (sound is mono and without bass), and I tried really hard. I tested both an OEM headset that came with my ZTE Blade and a Sony MH650. Both used to work fine on the Blade but on the N4 - no way. Headsets without microphone (and one line less on the headphone jack) work fine.

No the three button headsets are far and between. I haven't seen any that work. I mean even my old N1 headsets don't work. Well the middle button works. The iPhone 3 buttons will not work either.
Just use the one button, which I actually prefer and use an app to map button presses to forward or back up. Tedious? I guess so, but I have no issues with one button headphones. I own a slew of them lol.
I can see where I misread those posts now. No 3 buttons work at all. That sucks.
But what about the people that claim that there are headphones that actually work with the three button?

up to the phonemaker..
The support for 3 buttons or not on an Android phone is up to each phonemaker. Samsung Nexus 3 works fine with 3-button headsets for Android, so does the S3, S4, and many more.. while Nexus 4 does not But the Nexus 5 does (!)
I have a Nexus 3 and 4 and I also actually think music sounds better through the Samsung made Nexus but perphaps that is just mental or the sounchip has something to do with it.
3-Button Headset for Android
I use a 3-button headset from Degauss Labs Sweden and it works and sound great (made for Android).

They also have a really well working headset app (works with any headset by the way) that makes buttoncontrol programmable, so you can choose what 2,3 or more clicks will do for U.

Some headphones not working.

Hi,
I have a pair of xiami piston headphones and they work fine with my older phone (galaxy s3) but with my 6P they are not detected by the phone. I can't use them to listen to music or make calls.
I tried a pair of generic headphones and they do work. Is there some headphones that are simply incompatible with the device?
Yes I had the same experience. My samsung headphones from my galaxy s5 can't be used to make phone calls and if you try to use the volume adjustment buttons it pauses playback. Another pair of off-brand headphones I bought at duane reade work just fine for making calls. It is strange because w/ my galaxy I could use apple headphones or really any brand and they all worked fine. They should all work exactly the same.
I just hope this is a software compatibility issue with the in-line mic/controls and not a hardware issue. I have three pairs of pistons 2's that I used on a regular basis with my oneplus.

Isn't there an app that can remap the "input" it sees from the headphones?
I'm encountering issues across ALL headphones with inline buttons, including Sony, Beats, and the Project Fi headphones. I'm on my second device now (RMA'd the first to see if it was device-specific), and all exhibit the same issue: double-click to skip track fails when the device is locked after a certain number of presses, and recogntion of the inline button is generally sporadic when the device is locked.
HOWEVER! Everything is perfect when the device is unlocked! So this has to be a software issue, right?
i'm having issues where the headphones seem to be working, but the mute button is not muting the headphones (but they do mute the call). so i hear EVERYTHING in my ears. its like a weird loopback.

There was a thread about this, maybe it was you who posted it.
My S4i headphones can control music (pause/unpause) with the screen off. I have Smart Lock enabled with my Moto 360 though, so not sure if that makes a difference. I also finally updated to MDB08L this morning. I was stuck on MDA89D until I manually sideloaded the MDB08K OTA (then the MDB08L OTA was downloaded by the phone).
I just tried my V-Moda Crossfades and those still are not able to control anything with the screen lock or unlocked (last time I had used them was before the software update)

it wasn't such a nice feature as i was walking from my car and the mic was rubbing on the zipper of my jacket and i could hear it and the wind in my ears. if i covered the mic with my hand, the sound went away, so it seems like there is definitely a software issue.

I get that when using the Klipschs, but it's the vibration traveling through the wire and into my ears (since they are in-ear headphones), and it is annoying.
i use Apple EarPods. $29. love them.
My Xiaomi Pistons were the only set of headphones that didn't work at all (music played through front-facing speakers and not the headphones). All other headphones I own seem to have the same compatibility issues as all other Android headsets vs iPhone made headsets in regards to the in-line buttons working or not.
I hate in-ear/noise-cancelling/over-ear options since I use headphones while walking around the city and still prefer to still hear what's going on around me. Apple EarPods work but the in-line volume buttons don't work. Play/Pause/Answer/End button works fine though. My only other option that I've discovered is the Amazon Fire Headset. They are similar pods that don't isolate sound and all buttons on the headset work fine.

All other headphones I own seem to have the same compatibility issues as all other Android headsets vs iPhone made headsets in regards to the in-line buttons working or not.
I hate in-ear/noise-cancelling/over-ear options since I use headphones while walking around the city and still prefer to still hear what's going on around me. Apple EarPods work but the in-line volume buttons don't work. Play/Pause/Answer/End button works fine though. My only other option that I've discovered is the Amazon Fire Headset. They are similar pods that don't isolate sound and all buttons on the headset work fine.

mine didn't work as well. however, my amazon ones worked and i could also use vol up and pause, but vol down wasn't working.
So now my headphones are working apparently, the inline mic controls, pause/play volume up and down now work.
Using the Sennheiser Mm30g.
The Bose QC25s work like a charm along with the inline controls.
But...you need to buy the "made for Android" version.
I also have the pistons and they no longer work
My jaybird bluebirds x work perfectly. Need to test in my Lexus, however, pairing went fine so expect it will be ok.
