Forward, rewind, play, pause and stop buttons - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Suggest me some headphones or with forward, rewind, play, pause and stop buttons. Any adapter with all these buttons for my Shure SE530. Not any bluetooth adapter only wired.

Does this work our phone(i9100) ??

This has mic too. Do you think this works with POWERAMP in i9100.

no those will not work. there is a mobile phone standard which supports inline mic, pause/play/ff/rw button. this is what the SGS2 supports, as well as most other android phones.
for example the Bose MIE2 works just fine, and is the standard mobile method for headsets. there is also the Bose MIE2i wich is specific for the iphone/ipod.
so when you buy a headset with mic and button, just make sure it is the mobile standard and not an ipod specific one.

BT Headphones Finally Working!

I've spent many a frustrated hour trying to find a way to use my Bluetake I-Phono bluetooth headphones without that damn dongle and at long last, I've found a solution!
"Simply" install the WM2003SE upgrade by toenailed/xda2jojo (which is pretty bloomin impressive, BTW) and then install the HP iPAQ Bluetooth Stereo Headphones Driver Update.
This adds a "High Quality Audio setup" option to the Broadcom bluetooth implementation within the WM2003SE upgrade. Not quite A2DP but pretty damn close. Fidelity, volume, bass are pretty good, particularly considering its a wireless connection, but there are occasional "pops" and "squeaks" to contend with. The connection is so sensitive that I'm having to maintain line-of-sight between my XDAII and the right-hand (BT connected) side of the headphones. I can move several yards away but only as long as I keep the LOS, otherwise the connection degrades significantly.
It's far from perfect but its not a bad compromise until someone cracks A2DP on the XDA (something which I would happily pay £50 to achieve, if any interested party is listening).
Cheers,
Ged.
Headset Update
I've been playing around with bluetooth headset settings and I can't make it work under either BT stack.
BLUETOOTH HEADSET
Hi there mate I have V3 BTHS I tried using broadcom plus the upgrade but its not working...not sure though if I configure it correctly ...When i checked the connection on the bluetooth MAnager/Active Connection it shows an Icon in the Outgoing Connection and it is connected but i dont hear any sounds on my bt headset. What could be the problem? BTW my BT works on the orig bluetooth progy but only on the calls not in music players and sound notification. Hope you can help me. Thanks
As I understand it, you can use a BT headset for calls or BT headphones for music, but not both. My headphones are supposed to work in headset mode but they don't... for the moment at least.
Sorry I can't help further mate.
I understand "High Quality Audio setup" is A2DP. There is nothing more to achieve.

Okay I have the Bluetake i-PHONO on order. Can someone please tell me if it's possible to use them as stereo headphones and a headset at the same time? When you add the Bluetake to your BT setup as high-quality audio, can you add it at the same time as a BT headset? Does it show up as two icons in the BT manager? The Bluetake is supposed to automatically switch between A2DP and headset/handsfree profile... What I want is to be listening to music using media player over A2DP, then hit the button on the Bluetake and pick up a call. Isn't this the way it's supposed to work?
BLUETOOTH HEADSET
oh ok now it makes sense hehe. thanks PinkySlayer. Iphono is bit expensive though its almost a price of a mini ipod...
Expensive they may be, MTX, but I HATE cables, and what's the point in carrying around an MP3 player when you already have one in the form of an XDA (albeit with a few 1GB SD cards in tow)!? I'm working towards a personal nirvana of "single music source, multiple outputs"; I have an FM transmitter wired up to my GPS enabled car cradle so both my WMA and TomTom audio come out of my car speakers; I have wireless Sennheiser headphones for the house and now and now I have wireless BT headphones for mobile use.
I didn't think that was the case, surur. It certainly isn't in practican terms in that the Bluetake phones work great with their own BT dongle (which truly supports A2DP) but with the "High Quality Audio setup", things arn't so rosy.
That's what the Bluetake phones are designed to do, trhuseby, but I think the only way to achieve that at the moment is to use the BT dongle for music playback and then connect your XDA direct to the phones in headset mode. I believe that the phones would then automatically swap from music playback to headset mode when a call comes in, but you have to use that bloody dongle.
The settings for "High Quality Audio setup" do allow the (de)selection of both audio and headset connections but alas, this does not make it work.
BT HEADPHONE

Thanks

WIRED headphones for Hermes?

Moderation: Moved to Hermes Accessories
Hi
Whilst I'm waiting for the Widcomm BT stack to get a proper release to sort out my problems with my BT headset and Mortplayer ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285419 ), is there a decent WIRED stereo alternative that will allow me to take calls on the headphones but also give me some basic avrcp control over the music? I would love even to just be able to remap the button on the supplied headphones to play/pause rather than voicedial but can't figure out a way to do this. Are there any 3rd party wired headphones with microphone that could be used with the 3.5mm headphone adapter?
cheers

Sat Nav over Bluetooth

Hi
Can anyone confirm that Sat Nav commands are streamed to a blue tooth speaker ?
I would like to use the Sat Nav on my phone but the in-built speaker isn't upto the job. A simple blue tooth speaker would be fine, if it works. . . .or are there any other alternatives.
Any help or recommendations would be most welcome.

Hi
I will test this at work today for you as i have bluetooth speakers there can also check an fm transmitter if you want to go down that route
I use a Venturi mini (http://www.myventuri.com/home.aspx ) and it stream BT sat commands, phone calls and even my .mp3 music to my car radio, separate or even together.....it's excellent, especially as it's powered from cigarette lighter socket
Thanks for this - I do like the look of the Venturi mini, and the usb charging function would be ideal, but I would prefer an independent speaker so that I can still use my cars radio/media player. What it does prove is that I can stream commands using A2DP to a bluetooth device.
I can confirm BT speaker output for two navigation softwares:
IGO8 and ALK Copilot.
Using a Blaupunkt car audio unit named "Hamburg MP68" with A2DP streaming.
Working quite well, the same as my BT stereo headphone, a Plantronics 590E.
If you connect a bluetooth headset/ a2dp device, all sounds should play over bluetooth, so it should work without any problems

Yes, but some devices, such as the Jabra BT3030 go into standby between commands and by the time it has come to life again, and received the audio half of the audio is missing, or you don't get any of it.
Well I'm going to try a Jabra SP700 and see if it works - I'll let you know.
My Jabra SP700 works fine with TomTom & streams music. I'd certainly recommend it.

Headset earbuds (with remote buttons) that works with Atrix CM7?

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a set of headset earbuds with remote controls (for volume and/or playback) that worked with the Atrix (CM7 Ba2tf)?
I tried the JVC Marshmallows, however the controls do not work when I plug them in.
Thanks.
I can't quite put my finger on the brand name, but I do remember one pair at Radio Shack worked with official CM7. They were around $30 and specifically said they work with android phones. Had a mic, a call button, but no volume control.

Wired Headphones + Bluetooth Mic

So I was wondering if it's possible to use wired headphones at the same time with a Bluetooth device. The idea is to use a Bluetooth controller with the wired headphones. The Bluetooth controller options to say play/pause a song, forward/reverse, but also, the device itself has a 3.5mm jack for headphones. I don't want to use that, and just want to use the controller, and mic when I am on calls. Anyone have an ideas?
The controller I'm talking about is this thing.
