Can anyone give me a recommendation for a cable with inline remote controls, and possibly a hands free mic, which will allow me to use my existing headphones on the Nexus4? Volume controls and a play/pause button are a minimum, but anything else is a bonus.
Anyone seen anything working like this on a N4?
cheers
Jim
There's a app that turns any headphone with a mic that has a button in to a remote, but as a standalone like the iPhone I haven't seen on. I would buy one if they have one.

Does the headphones which come with the iPhone 3GS with the in line remote (play/pause/ volume) work on the nexus one? Does the microphone work?
i don;t know, but the inline ones that come in the box with play, pause, fast forward and rewind do....
I was just asking because I have some Scosche In ear headphones which has the iPhone inline remote. Sound quality will no doubt be better than the supplied headphones, just wondered it the remote/mic will still work in a Nexus One
i honestly don't know.
Does your inline set have a collar around the 3.5 mm jack like sony's used to? or is it just the 3.5mm jack on there?
If it's just a 3.5mm jack on it, then there's a possibility if there is any sort of standard for those controls, but i would have expected Apple to use their own way of doing things....No doubt HTC have on the Nexus one as well
I tried to find the comment, but yesterday I read that a user had his iPhone headset with inline remote work fine but without volume control (the HTC inline remote doesn't adjust volume from what I can tell).
according to ryan block the button works but volume control doesnt

Great stuff thanks
Heya
I have an issue with the headphones that came with my DHD. The player control on the headphones has suddenly becomes unresponsive. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. A very random behaviour.
Anyone experiencing this ? Any suggestion how to solve this ?
Cheers
MJ
Make sure it is plugged in correctly.
Try cleaning the headphone jack and blowing in the headphone port on your phone, preferably using some compressed air. Might be some dust or grime blocking the connection.

Sorry to hijack thread but related to this, does anyone know good earphones with a remote & mic that will work on the dhd?
I was looking at the klipsch s4i's but they only spout on about iphones and don't want to drop £80 on a pair that may not work.

I got those. The mic works, but not the remote. Good sound in them.
That's a shame, really fancy some decent klipsch phones, currently use s2's which are already great, but would like to keep remote functionality. I wish HTC had made the remote and mic so they'd separate from the buds cos the earbuds suck.
Anyone know of a good set of earphones, preferably not too pricey, with a working remote?
I bought the NU Force NE-M7. Great sound and with a mic. The mic has only one button for answering/ending calls and play/pauze.
Oh, and only for around $50,- Allot of other people give positive feedback on the earphones on the internet.

Hi Guys
I've been looking for a nice headphones with mic and control buttons for my Legend
Unfortunately companies make only ones for iPhone
Apple does not like us to use them
So they have put a chip which allows them to work only with idevices
When u connect them to legend mic do not work (but the phone recognize it as coneceted)
Only central button works (allows u to play and stop music only)
I've read that there is a patch for HTC magic
Which allows to use iPhone ones
I've been wondering is there a way to make them work on legend as well
If anyone have any info about how to do it please help

As long as you use a different music player than the stock one (I recommend PowerAmp), you can use a single mic button on a range of headsets for (at least) play/pause (1xpush), step fwd (2xpush) and step backwards (3xpush). You probably won't be able to adjust volume even if your headset remote supports it, but for me the play functionality is sufficient. As for headset, keep away from istuff, I recommend the Marshall Minor headset - great build quality, excellent sound!

I've already bought a sennheiser px200-lli brilliant headphones with a Mic and controller central button works but microphone do not and that is the worst problem
Phone recognizes the mic in the phone but it does not work
So I have to remove the jack every time I answer a call which is very annoying
Thanks anyway

I have a pair of Philips SHH7810 that I recomend,
just a single button, but volume controll and working mic.
The price tag and the lack of software (so far) are holding me back from getting one of these bad boys. I've seen some videos of the modded/hacked Q's and that is very promising.
I do love the built in amp feature. I used the heck out of airplay for music with my iPhone/appletv. I moved on to the Galaxy Nexus and think the Q would be great because I could bypass having to turn on a stereo. I also have a powered subwoofer that automatically turns on when something is being played. I was wondering if anyone else is using one in their setup.

Good question - just bought one and didn't even think about hooking it up to a powered sub (lacking a legit system at the moment) Subbed
I have 2 Kef xQ10 loudspeaker plugged to the Q. It sounds fantastic ! I'm really impressed by the small amp inside the Q.
But it really miss some subwoofer. But I wonder how I can plug it to the Q ? Any idea ?

My powered subwoofer, along with most nowadays, have line out connections. You'd connect the Q to the subwoofer first, the left and right connections. The sub will use its own power and you'd connect your 2 speakers to the sub. It should work that way, I think!
I have mine connected to my sound bar via the hdmi cable i got with the Q.

Both ways have been mentioned:
1) Use an intermediate device to decode the HDMI audio, send it to speakers including the sub. (Most people use a receiver on an existing setup. Hubono mentioned he uses his soundbar.)
Advantage: You can use big speakers / better sound.
Disadvantage: More remote controls & power required.
2) Buy a sub that sits between the amp (Q) and the speakers. These have jacks for connecting the speakers to the sub, and then connecting the speaker wire to the Q. They will look at the speaker signals to create the music. See below for an example back panel:
http://www.polkaudio.com/images/products/gallery/747192120269_7.jpg
Advantage: No remotes!
Disadvantage: Not all entry level subs turn off with no sound.
ETA:
I have a pair of Polk Monitor 30s on my Q. While sounding good, they in combination with the Q definitely lacked bass for music. I moved my PSW10 inline (option 2), and now music sounds much better.

I connect everything to the sub via HDMI
Yes, I currently have mine plugged into my receiver via HDMI, which is connected to my 7.2 system. It works pretty well.

If you have a sub with speaker level inputs (as many sony's do) then you should be peachy
With root or a custom Rom, would it be possible to instruct the Nvidia Shield TV volume up/down to somehow bypass the system volume and instead control a usb IR blaster which would then give a signal to my audio receiver? I like the volume controls on my Nvidia remote but wish they would control my receiver. I don't have CEC either.
Anyone? Thoughts?
I've been looking for the same. I can't believe that not all home theater remotes today don't contain at least basic universal remote technology. My main concern is Plex which I can get volume control to work if I put it in stereo but that defeats half the reason (DD and DTS) for owning the Shield. Coming from the Sony GS7 I'm disappointed that I can't properly control volume.
Most recommendations say to use a harmony but then you give up the voice search and the headphone jack. I'll keep searching though as I do really like the Shield box. I'm also going to try with the Flirc as I know people have used that with the Nexus Player but I'm not sure if the Shield volume controls will translate.
