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.

What could cause this?

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).
Hello there!
I am in the market for a new tablet, and am considering buying a 2 7" and have some questions.
How does the IR blaster work? Does it receive on all tv's?
What is the deal with the 30 pin connector, would one of apple's (boo!) chargers work for the device?
Overall how is the service with Samsung? Any horror stories?
and finally, what case do you have on the device, do I need one (how tough is it)?
Thanks so much,
dan123abc.
IR blaster is pretty cool, probably a fad that will be forgotten soon though. My tv is pretty old, pre hdmi, and it still turns it on at least.
There's a Samsung made case case that has tab 2 written on, I like it.

I like most of you on this forum change phones like shoes. 5 phones in the past 2 years. There has always been something missing though.
Good phone, but no LTE,
Good phone but the screen isn't that sharp
Good phone but the camera is crap
but, but, but
I think the note 3 is the first phone that has no "buts". Big HD screen, overpowered guts, passable camera, plenty of storage. I really can't imagine what they are going to put into the next super phone that is going to get me to reach for my credit card.
They could make it higher res I guess. Or ad a incrementally faster processor. Maybe sharpen up the camera, a bit. I don't know none of those things move me. When I got my note 2, a few months ago it was already pretty much the perfect phone. The only missing puzzle pieces where the screen, and camera. Now the note 3 has fixed that.
What will it take to get you to move to the note 4, or whatever the new hotness is. What else can they cram in there? Or has the super phone cold war finally run it's course? I can't see how you can improve anything much more without getting into diminishing returns.
I think I might have found a keeper
Optical image stabilization and optical zoom
Note 3 has already given me the ultimate tool. The IR blaster. Hehe more wasted moments because you cant find the friggin tv remote heeh

- A Kickstand
- Front facing speakers
- All capacitive buttons (Though I imagine this would boil down to personal preference)
- Better speaker (louder & more bass)
- Region unlocked
First one is a deal breaker for me so I haven't had to decide whether the region lock is a deal breaker or not.

For me, stereo front speakers like the HTC One and of course optical stabilisation.
A bit overpriced
Bigger screen. 6 inches would have been perfection.

Front facing speakers would be good on a normal sized phone but i dont think this thing can afford to be any longer lol
I'd like to have better speakers like the HTC one, and be able to switch to 5 vertical rows of icons on home screens. Done, otherwise I'm good. Still getting it as soon as Verizon releases it. Best phone for me in a long time.

FM Radio.
Decent sound, bigger speaker(s)
An unlocked bootloader would make it pretty much perfect... And maybe god mode!:laugh:
IOS 7.....Kidding
The speaker could be punchier but I'm spoilt by the HTC One.
Wireless Charging out the box.

Why?
What is wrong with wanting an FM Radio?
Here in the UK FM Radio should be mandatory on all phones - We have a great selection of stations to choose from.
RGB display and higher PPI, smart move for samsung to go minimum 32gb internal with the ammount of apps on playstore and growing size of apks and extra data that comes with them.

Got any suggestions for a case with a kickstand? I know of the Seidio Active and that's about it.I was also contemplating getting a Spigen GLAS.tR SLIM which might cause a problem with the fit of a non Spigen case.
I think front facing speakers would have been doable if the samsung branding and physical home button (and a capacitive button was used instead) were left out
So
FM radio
Optical stabilization
Bigger zoom
Stereo speakers
Flexible Screen
Kickstand
All of those would be nice. Question is would any of those things justify another $300-600 from you though?
Can someone can help me MOD the Plantronics Backbeat 903+ to have EAR BUDS (in ear),
I applied Quick Fix Glue and attached the SONY ear plugs, working fine, but they often fall off.
Also my ears pain a lot after using for few mins.
So i wanted to pull out wires and attach the ear plugs of my existing Sony Plugs, but the internals seem very complicated with ribbon cabling.
I dont need to have a very good looking Headset. I have this Headset and its flawlessly working, but i find it very incontinent to use it for long time.
So i just want to wear it around my neck and 2 wires going into my ears just like any other in-ear earphones.
It might sound very stupid to do such a thing, :silly: but i cant find any better headset with noise cancellation within this price range.
Can someone help me please ?
All i need is to connect Left and Right ear plugs to my Plantronics 903+ hanging out. :victory:
This is the exact final output i am expecting :
http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/wireless/detail-page/lg-HBS-700-earbudsout-lg.jpg
So i finally managed to do it.
For now i used my old Samsung in-Ear earphones :
Working great and i feel so confortable now
:victory:
This is how it looks

I was thinking of doing the same mod to my 903+. Can you tell me how is the mod working for you after a few months?
Its working fine. No issues at all. A little uncomfortable at neck, but will get used to it. Make sure u use good ear plugs.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Maybe it would be more comfortable if you removed more clutter. I am hoping to remove the whole swivling part that hold the speaker. I just have to figure out how to avoid cutting the cable that connects the buttons.
I will try to do it at home tonight and let you know how it went.
I did the mod by moving the whole ear bud chip to the inside of the main modules. I carefully pried openened up each main madule and disconnected the ribbon, pulled out the ribbon through the ear bud holders, then reconnected the ribbon to the connector. I cut off the earbud housing using an exacto knife and ran my new earbuds inside to the main module where I soldered them to the old ear bud chip. There was enouch room in each housing to conseal all the components. I used some isolating tape to make sure there is no short cirtuis. Here is the final look. It was a very delicate job no to break anything but I am happy with the final look. So far, I find it comfortable after one day's use.
Thats really looking good and professional. I wish you could have taken some pics of the inside so I might try that.
Does the noise cancellation work good? And how about call quality.

A single speaker, and the waterproofing won't help. Don't expect anything spectacular.
I tested this out earlier today. The speaker is just like my note 5
So it's not the rumored 1.5W speaker?

even if it was a 1.5W speaker the protective coating would diminish it a bit especially for such a small driver.
How do you figure? Note 5 isn't waterproof lol. And as for the single speaker, I think there is another speaker in the ear part at the top. 1.2w I think. And the bottom one is a 1.5w

The S7/EDGE are water proof which I was refering to.
I have asked on another thread, but I wonder for those who have tested the speakers whether you have used the HTC devices with front facing speakers, how does the s7 edge compare to them? I ask as if I was to get the S7 edge, I'd be coming from the HTC One M9+.
its like low end Skoda to high end Mercedes
