How can i use apple earbuds with ideos x5 because when i connect them i hear a tic tic and neither the microphone works....?
The same as Meizu EP20.
How to solve it?
Apple headsets have different TRRS wiring than one supported by this phone (actually I think that Apple wanted to differentiate itself even in this). There are adaptors sold that convert ground and mic (if I remember correctly these two are wired differently in in Apple headsets compared to regular) but result isn't guaranteed; it may or out may not work. You can find more information on the net, just search for Apple TRRS.
Oh, one more thing, I don't think that this is solvable by any software. It's a built-in TRRS plug.

but then how all the other earbuds working with ipod if it uses a differcet connection earbuds???
It has something to do with the placement of the rings on the jack (Standard = 2 rings, + mic = 3 rings)
My Jabra headset with mic doesn't work with the Huawei but it does with the Dell Streak, Palm Treo Pro and Iphone 4.
Also when I was searching I found that there were a lot of headsets which would not properly work with the Palm (but I never tried them with the Dell and or Iphone)
The best thing you can do is just to go to the phone/media stores and ask them if they want to test the headset with your device. You know when it all works correctly if the music you play sounds as it should be (no cracking noises through the ear buds etc.)
Hope this helps and good luck! =)

I think that Apple has grown into so big mover&shaker of electronics world that to manufacturers it's more profitable to go with their standard, than the regular one. Take stereo sets for example, every other has iPod-integration(I've been looking for a new one so I know, and it kinda pisses me off; why not micro-usb-integration with universal holder??)

This problem also exists on the Desire.
I have tried many different 3,5mm plugs and it's a bit random, some are detected as headsets some are not, some switch and some behave abnormal.
The million dollar question is now: Is it a hardware or software issue.
This is unacceptable, even though the solution is simple: use a short extension cable or adapter. But for some audioholics, like myself, this is just a work around and it affects sound quality.
I am thinking about contacting HTC about this.

I think the headphones you are using have 3 black rings instead of 2 on the jack, as the third is used for the mic, if this is the case, it will always show up as a headset!

I appreciate the help. I didn't mean to dissrespect you, It just seemed very clear from my post that i know the difference between headsets and headphones.
It has nothing to do with that, it's a problem with the phone.
I have tried 5 different headphones and headsets.
The phone jack or software is the problem, not the plugs.
I do have a few years of electrical engineering behind me also.... ( and experience with 30+ mobile phones and PDAs)
It mightn't be sw have tried differentiering headphones both with and without mic. With mixed results..

Can someone who already has an SGS II, test and comment on whether headphones with a mic *and* music controls (eg play/pause/ff/rw) work?
I have a pair of Moda's that don't work with my Atrix...it's the main annoyance I have with it...
yes it has mic but no music conrol.

I'm not asking about the standard headphones that ship with the SGS II. I'm asking someone with an SGS II to test aftermarket headphones that have the controls.
I think it same as original galaxy s, the media button for aftermarket earphone will not work with this phone, samsung 3.5mm jack really special...
Question...
Hey, for those already with SG2, can I use my iPod headphones w/ mic with this handset?
Please let me know, thank you.,

If possible also specify the exact make and model. There's at least two different pin-out for headsets (iPhone style and Nokia style) and at most one of those will work properly with any given Android phone.
I am wondering this as well. I'm hoping its the Iphone style so I can use my Etymotic HF-2's, or any other decent head set with this phone. I am thinking there is a good chance it is the Iphone style, seeing as that what the Nexus S had, but it would be nice for someone to confirm and not just speculate.
Thats shyttt... No audio controls with the Headphone? I gotta pull the phone out every time to switch the track?
WTF? this costs as much as an iphone and the headphones doesnt have music controls? that sucks bigtime!
oh stop whining! Samsung is just giving you an extra reason to admire that beautiful screen.

Don't matter to me as I don't use cheap phones. Custom shelled iem. Please don't tell me you folks use Dre BEATS, what a ripoff. I see alot of iPhone users using them and I just laugh. Got ripped off by apple and then by Dre. People are like sheep being led to the slaughter house.
Music controls, just what I don't need, another component in the way of my Galaxy pushing that Vodoo.

no, samsung uses 3 layer audio, while apple only uses 2, the headphones wont even sound right, youll need to ducttape the apple call button down permanently to have good sounding audio

when you say "samsung uses..." is that in reference to this device in particular, or Samsung in general? Have you tested the SGSII headphone jack yourself? Thanks for the info btw.
Oh you guys are silly!
I haven't tried headphones with music controls yet (gonna have to fish around for my old HTC's) but try double clicked and triple clicking the button on the one's Sammy give you. For me it skips tracks (at least in Spotify) and has done on all versions of Gingerbread I've tried.
I'm using the Griffin iTalk so I can answer calls and skip tracks with a decent set of 'phones.
htc desire's headphone works perfectly.
i use the bose MIE2 mobile phone headset with inline mic and single button, costs 140 bucks and the quality is superb on these things. its designed for generic mobile phones, and works just fine on the nexus one and most other phones that support the standard.
are we saying teh galaxys s2 will not support this? it just uses a single button, double tap to FF, triple tap to RW, etc. and then single tap to answer a call, pause music, etc. best headset ever to get for your phone. i'd imagine this would have to work with samsung, how could they leave this out when all other phones support this?
Tested with Ultimate Ears 5vi which are iPhone compatible.
With default music player only play/pause (single press) and next track (double press) works, this was tge same as the Nexus S.
PowerAmp has a setting to enable triple press which skips to previous track. This app is worth the cost as it has settings to customise the player anyway you could want. Best feature is auto resume on A2DP connect, when getting in the car no need to remove phone from pocket or bag or touch cars music controls, plays from where it left off

How very odd, I got my old headphones that I used with my SGS 1 and on my SGS2 I now need to hold down the call answer button to get good audio !
As using third-party headphones is random with Android mobiles, I decided to create this thread and ask what others use. Please post the type you use with the Huawei U8800 and maybe a short note saying what buttons work and if the mic also works, thank you
Bluetooth headset SonyEricsson MW600, works like a charm. And when no mic is needed, KOSS's SparkPlug.

I only use the U8800 heaphones/mic and I must not change because the pinout is different (begining by the point):
Sound.L/Sound.R/Mic/Ground.
The others like Samsung, Lg, etc. the pinout is:
Sound.L/Sound.R/Ground/Mic.
If we chage it the sound is bad because it return by Mic, not by ground.
I use cheap 1.3$ costed ones.
Jawbone ERA Bluetooth - Works Great. Jawbone app doesn't work on the X5 yet though.
Nokia BH 505 Bluetooth - Does not work well. Connection drops out when listening to music.
Jabra Sport Corded Stereo Headphones - I have just ordered from Ebay to use in gym.
Skullcandy INK'd Earbuds.
And the sound is very good.

I use the Ideos x5 headphones/mic.Anyone know how I can increase microphone power?Because most of ppl who talk they complain that they cant hear me well.
Thanks!!
Jabra bt3030 here with a nice pair of sony earplugs replace jabra ones.Works fine with u8800 as with any phone i used them,very rich sound with music and clear sound with calls.
I have only one thing with them...when a call is ringing, bt3030 has its own ringtone to headphones and not the one that phone has.The think is ,i use it riding my motocycle and if a call comes i wanna listen from my call announcer whos calling me.
Just got myself some Sennheiser IE7's and god.. the difference between my mp3 player and phone is astounding.
The sound in u8800 is just muddy with uneven bass and ****ty highs
Sennheiser PX-100II is excellent for me, but Ideos mic is turn off
Got the Sony MW600 recently on the back of some of the reports here and the Sound quality is much better than I thought it would be all things considered.
Happy with my MW600 but it doesn't work well with the Poweramp app...works much better with the stock music app.

What probs do you get? Play/Pause/Next/previous works ok as well as in call music pause and resume etc. Make sure you are on a gingerbread rom, as the bluetooth stack used in froyo roms is not really good compatibility wise.
If poweramp gives you problems on the BT Buttons, check its settings and disable bt support in other music apps. (i had experienced that problem while using poweramp and XiiaLive, with the latter taking over the bt buttons.)
I'm on the froyo stock....
The problem I was having was that on the BT set when I clicked next track, sure it changed to different track but on a different album. when I inspect the phone on pweramp it's still displaying on the previsous track. The PowerAmp will then freeze after a few seconds then FC.
I will try again using the BT settings for each music app I have as the Stock music app works perfectly...
I have found a possible fix for using third-party headphones, the Sony Ericsson Xperia 2011 range of phones have the same connector and are compatible with our Huawei U8800, so when buying just make sure it works on something like Ark, Play, Neo, Pro and others and it should be okay

I also use these ... work as they should
By now I Just use the huawei (that comes with the cellphone).
And sometimes I use the Headphones of my old GW620, and it's ok (i haven't tried calling with those, but I guess they work, because have the same things).
I'm trying to get some new, but i don't know. xD
Just got a Sony sbh20 stereo bluetooth headset (Review) And its great plays my music from my phone wirelessly, makes calls etc. It has 3.5 mm output so it can be hooked up to any speakers with 3.5mm jack.
However being a gutarist and an xda forum member im just not happy with what it can do out of the box.
Is it possible to turn the 3.5mm output into an input so i can use this for wireless guitar playing, perhaps with it paired to my phone which would then be hooked up to my speakers.
Basically i want a bluetooth guitar.
Any ideas or comments on how this may be achieved or if this is even possible.
Another concept that may work would be to use my phone itself as an amp transmitting via bluetooth. Probobly easier to impliment. Any ideas if this exists
No it is not possible, and it's also completely and utterly pointless, since you can buy Bluetooth transmitters for next to nothing more or less anywhere

Far from pointless. It is a mod that involves doing something cool. Just because some companies make a product that can do what the OP is looking to do and for a cheap price does not mean that the OP should not try. If we all just purchased stuff that just works then we would have a world with a bunch of idiots that know nothing. And just wants to be solely ammused via You tube videos of dumb garbage. Oh wait, that is the vast majority of this worlds population. This is an Android forum where people do things the hard way so that they can just know.
I could have purchased a great PC case for not to much money. And v en ry little time spent earning said money. But I decided to mod a MAC G5 case. Pointless? No, far from it. This is truly my computer. Here are some pictures.
And how about my cars factory radio? Sure I could have installed a low level converter. Or installed an aftermarket head unit. No, I found the low levels signal circuits and installed RCA connectors on the back of my factory deck.
Sounds like this is how the OP wants to roll.
So OP roll on. Ill look into the setup you are looking to mod and let you know if it can be done and how easily it can be accomplished.
Edit. Yes, it can be done. You will have to mod the input output circuit at the headphone jacknor somewhere on the board. I will say this. Be extremely patient and use a very very good magnifying glass. Or your phone when soldering. And lots of light. What I did was use an app called overlays and created an overlay that put a flashlight widget whennI opened my camera app. This allowed me to permanently activate the flash LED and use the camera as a microscope when soldering my LG tones to act as an incar bluetooth adapter. Sadly though I broke the setup. But, I just may get what you have there and use that in my car next. Though only of it allows for hi definition audio throughput. Any way. Good luck and take pictures if you go through with it.
And one more thing. Like you stated. You could mod a headset to connect to your guitar and then stream the sound from your phone to the Bluetooth headset that is connected to your amp/head.

Thanks for getting back to me these bluetooth units are going pretty cheap in vodafone stores in ireland right now (25 euro where evreywhere else including sonys website has them for 50) so i might puick up another one to mod, not much experience with soldering anything more complicated than audio cables but it will be a challenge, also propss on the g5 case its definately one of the best designed PC cases with the new mac pros coming out there could be a fresh influx of these second hand soon
so i use the apple eaerbuds for listening to music and talking, but the only button that is working is the middle one wich i can accept calls; play/pause music, skip racks on double cliking, etc
i just want to find a way to make the two other buttons work, for ex it will be good if the up and down buttons change the volume.
now i read online that the apple earbuds are made differently from all others and dont work properly on android devices.
my question is can i tweak this thing with some kind of software or something????
No, it's a hardware issue, Apple uses a different method than standard phones for volume control, you are better off buying other earbuds, or use the ones that came with the note. If it's the style you like do a quick google search and you will find many reasonably priced headsets with a similar got and style

Apple standard is CTIA, Samsung standard SHOULD be OMTP - my previous Android phones had this standard, that's why I'm guessing but I never bothered to check
You can buy an adapter for a couple of dollars, if your headphones are worthy, but since we're talking about apple earbuds I wouldn't bother
There's the Sennheiser MM 30G (ones I use) or the pricer Bose SoundTrue in-ear headphones that gives you volume buttons on the cord that work with Samsung devices
Ok thnx a lot for your opinions.
