I have the soundmagic e10 M earphones + mic and the mic works perfect with this phone. Found out it works by accident after it never working with my old wildfire.
So I ask, will any headphones + mic that is apple certified work with this phone? I was under the impression it was only the HTC with beats phones but this was a nice surprise.
Any help will be great.

Not sure "all" will work, but I think most will. All headphones I have tried that are made for the iPhones have worked on the mic and answer/end side on the N4 in my case. YMMV though, depending on what you have. The only negative is that there are only a few headphones work with the forward/back or volume up and down buttons. There are apps like Jays headset app that let you map the center button by assigning a series of button presses, but I personally find it annoying because I can never remember how many presses are for volume up and down lol. And if you longpress any of the answer/end buttons, they open up google now. So it's a hit or miss but bottom line, most will work.
Any one button headphones with TRRS connector will work with Nexus 4.
OMTP jack is not compatible. (older device - Galaxy S, Sony experia 2011 series etc).
Nexus 4 needs a headset with CTIA connector. (post Galaxy S2 or 2012 series in general)

can you suggest a brand/model available in India that works well with N4?

I got this one and works great.
Older ones have black rings on connector whole newer ones come with grey or white rings on 3.5mm connector.
If you want to buy in store you can use this method but I don't have any proof to support it.

Hey there, Im wondering if it's only my set that has this problem or not. I have spare htc's and apples earphones and both of them have mic.s for hands free talking. However when I plug them in to listen to music, sound appears all fuzzed up, certain frequencies such as bass are gone and/or comes out of only one side. The only way to fix this is by holding down the play/stop buttons found on these earphones. When I hold down the button, music playbacks just fine... Had problems with my headphones jack before and had it repaired but I noticed this phenomenom before the fix as well. Can any one test this out as well?
This is a known situation, there are two different ways used to connect the four wires to the jack-plug, HTC and some others use one method, and Nokia and Samsung use the other method.
Basically this means that unless you buy a special adapter/converter, the only headphones suitable for your SGS are some aftermarket sets and earphones from a Nokia phone.
Hope that this helps.
Yeh . Look for nokia n97 headsets

But will all third party Headphones work? I guess it would be better to go for those without microphones then, and to check if it works before buying. Thanks guys and sorry if this has already been answered...
That is god damned retarded. I'll have to sit through three hours of mad banter and public displays of affection in this train because someone decided to put their audio jack wires a bit different. This should be illegal.
Headphones should with fine. It's the mike that won't work. I've used apple and phillips headphones and they work fine. If you want to use custom headphones with a mike that works I've heard that you can get a nokia adapter that connects into the phone and headphones into it that should work. Can't remember the model number sorry.
Just had a look on ebay, think it's a nokia ad-43. Think it has the mike built into it though.

I was wondering if the Nexus 7 supports Microphone Input via the Headphone Jack? Mainly I'd want this for the possibility of using a Square Mobile Payment Card Reader. Anybody tried using it for such a purpose yet?
EDIT: joelee100 gave me my needed clue. I'll post back with a confirmation once I get my Nexus 7.
anybody?
I plugged in my nexus s OEM ear buds which also have a mic integrated with them and the Nexus 7 recognizes the mic and the mic works for both Google now and for voip...hope that helps

Thanks! That means there is Mic Input and Square should work. Just another plus of Preordering my Nexus 7
I installed the Square app on my Nexus 7 but was unable to get any of the test swipes to work. But, maybe I wasn't being patient enough.

I tested it a bit more and still was unable to get any test swipes to register on my Nexus 7.
I retested on my Note, 4S, and iPad and it worked fine on those.

I'm thinking maybe square needs an update for jellybean. At least I hope that's all it is, because I really want to use this app on my n7
email from square
This is the email I just received. I bought a nexus 7 to replace my credit card terminal because it seemed to meet our exceed all the specs square required.
"Hello,
We are not able to support the Google Nexus 7" tablet at this time, as the headphone jack is incompatible with our card reader.
For more information on supported devices, visit [square website removed to post].
Thank you for your interest in Square.

My wife has the intuit card swipper and a htc 4g lte was told by them that the phone was too new to use the swipper. She can still type in the card info and use the app that way. Not sure it if the same with square.

I would assume the headphone jack doesn't work with a microphone, I haven't tested that yet.
edit: after testing myself and contacting Google support, it is merely a headphone jack, not a headset jack like the documentation says.
the square reader/headset mic will not work .

Bummer... Is there any other mobile card reader that doesn't use a headset jack, Bluetooth maybe?

Could we use one of those 3.5mm to microusb adapters? Just a thought.

There have been mixed reports about this. Some people confirm mics working, others don't. I doubt "some" Nexus 7's have a headset jack and the rest headphone jacks

Interesting...
I plugged a set of new Apple Ear Pods in today and the N7 received my voice through them fine in both Talkatone and easy voice recorder...
This has been kind of ... no ... really damned frustrating for me.
I bought a Nexus 7 with SIM slot for my wife for the holidays and just ASSUMED it would work with Square (she is a self-employed artist/merchant that does convention vending). We didn't discover this issue until we were past the return period.
I'm still a bit in shock. Subscribing in case more information comes out but pretty much just going to be bummed.
I'll check hers to see if a headset works when she gets home. I don't know if we've tried it.
I wonder if maybe people who have plugged in headsets have perhaps been getting their voice input via a built-in mic and just not realizing it?

That's a likely assumption seeing as there are two of them and according to iFixIt the headphone jack is a 3-pole instead of a 4-pole without any soldering to the microphone so it's physically incompatible with the square or many other card readers. I can't even do single clicks on earbuds to pause/play music with it.
Kind of a shame though as I do use the Square app, and would have been nice to swipe a card on my N7 instead of my 1st Generation iPad. (But at least my old G2 can still do it, least til it kicks the bucket).
So I tried plugging in my apple headphones into my nexus 7 and it didn't seem to go in properly..
Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks man
I was able to connect my Sennheiser over the ear headphones easily, but my cheapo Skullcandy Earbuds won't stay all the way in, and it's a bummer..... It has a smallish jack too, so its not like the case and jack press against each other...
The first day I was in the library and opened the N7 in a reading cubicle. Just to test the sound, I put in my skullcandy headphones and played a song from Google play. After a bit, I saw everyone was looking at me weirdly. Then I noticed the sound was coming out of the speakers, not the headphones.
Bottomline:
You need to really push it in. However, it's not a great deal to me. And it works fine !
Yes I was scared to push it in at first because I thought It would break, on e everything's fine

It's the return of the headphone problem from the original iPhone. Good job ASUS!
When I plug headphones in the sound still comes out the speakers. Anyone else have this problem?
I'm also having this problem. Just checked to make sure headphones would work, but of course they don't.
I went into TWRP and fixed permissions, but still same thing.

Push it in further until it "clicks" ' had the same problem and seating it fully resided the issue.

Headphones
All headsets don't work for some reason even though they are 3.5 mm. I thought it was a defect and maybe it is designed poorly but some sets work and others do not even when pushed flush. I guess some may need a cheap extender to fully mount in the jack.

Had the same problem. One set of headphones worked (Sony) and the other set (Sennheiser) did not.
Looking at specs the Sennheiser headphone jack is 1/8 inch. Sony doesn't specify but looks shorter. Could this be the problem?
I can't find any info in the N10 manual except 3.5mm. Afraid to push the longer jack any further in.
Both my Sennheiser over ear and ear-bud headphones work fine on my n10. I do need to push the connector quite firmly to make sure the final click happens and it is fully seated.

Thanks for the info. Do you know the model you have or how long the jack is? I have PMX680i its a sports model that has a really good sound while allowing you to hear your surroundings. (no, I don't work out with a tablet on my arm :laugh
The over ears are HD 218s, and the buds are CX 300 II. I've not measured the jacks, but they are both the same size by eye.
Does the Klipsch S4i II work with the Nexus 4? I got the S4i II on sale whereas the android version was regular price. Not a huge deal if the volume buttons don't work, as long as the center button and mic works.
The S4i's worked for me. The center button worked, but the mic not so much. Sometimes it would work other times not.
