Hi,
I have beats by dre and the buttons that came with the wired are similar to the Samsung headphones. What I mean by that is that they both feature volume up and down and the button for switching tracks and answering calls.
However, my problem is that the button in the middle for switching tracks etc works but the volume up and down don't?
Is there a solution for this?

Yeah.... Just burst it open and switch the small cables until it works then screw it back together again. OR you could cut the wire on both samsung earpiece and beats, just switch them around so you got samsung buttons with beats headphones attached, simple!

It's not a problem exclusive to beats though, i think many 3 button headphones have trouble working with android devices. Maybe if you'd care to share a pair that work without problems, the OP would consider them if the issue is bugging him that much, telling him to 'buy proper headphones' doesnt really help him.
I have beats also and the volume up and down buttons dont work, but it's not a major issue for me. I downloaded
Headset Button Controller from the google play store, it allows you to control everything using just the single button (double tap skips to next track, triple tap goes to previous track etc) works well..

My cousin bought those, the sound quality is extremely poor.
Flat and tinny, bass is non existent.
For that kind of money you could get high quality headphones.
I got sennheiser HD 202's for around 30 euro.

I have those too! I use them for when I'm out and about and the hd202's for around the house.
I think they are great quality and very reasonably priced!
When you buy beats 99% of the price is for the logo.

I've got the Pro's and they're really good! Not saying that for the same price you don't get way better one's, but they are really good for trance music. I would have got something else instead, but they were a gift.
Got the same problem with the 3 button cable. Also the mic is not working properly, making funny issues.
I just use the simple cable with no button.
I have been looking for a adaptor from iphone made headphones to others, but none that work for the s3...

Yeah they're good for the price. Its pretty hard to distort them. I think if you Mix poweramp, full bass and any Hybrid track though, you're in trouble. But they do me.
Bit gutted, got up on the bus, caught the chord on the seat and ripped the left out of my ear. Must have strained the connection as the left is only 75% volume compared to the right
Beats is a marketing gimmick
thanks

I have the Jawbone Era and love it, but not stereo. I used the Icon which was great too, amazing noise cancellation with both.
I tested them while on a motorcycle with open headers, the person on the other line had no idea. That good.

I've tried quite a few different Bluetooth setups but i keep going back to the Jabra BT3030. You can get it on eBay for about $20. Its loud andbhas good distance and best of all you can use any headphones you want with it. I have had mine a little over a year and use it at the gym atleast five days a week and the battery still doesn't have any fade to it.
I am hard of hearing. What Rom or is just an app is recommended?.... has the best and clearest sound for music? Thank you in advance.

Through the speaker on the phone or headphones?
PowerAmp I believe has an EQ you can use to boost some levels, for the most part, the max volume is going to be a limitation of the phone.

I thought the same thing until I saw how tiny this thing actually is.
It weighs absolutely nothing & is about the size of a matchbook.
Believe me, it is worth the little extra effort to use it & if you can't hear with this in place you would have to be completely deaf.

I read that dimming the the buttons with Rome like CleanRom will get rid of this.

I don't get any hiss from my headphones (Citiscape Downtown). It depends on how sensitive your headphones are, mine are rated at 102dB. Also try using a different music player that doesn't enable beats. I use UberMusic. Hope this helps.

The headset (earset that comes with the phone has all controls. But I think it sucks royally as the earbuds are horrible, even for my somewhat larger than average ears. I'm kinda looking for alternative myself.
I took Apple ear buds and fitted ear plugs on them. They works great you can't hear a thing with them in....only the music.... Oh yea

I know on my old incredible, the buttons don't work completely. Only some functions, I think that goes to say with all androids. There are apps that you can assign a different amount of presses to be pause,play,next though.
I know bestbuy has a pair of sony earbuds that are life $25, that have the "ipod" controls. They did work somewhat on my incredible, and there are a pair of skullcandy's that have the controls also. I assume they would work the same.

I order these, they are the ones that came with my old vibrant, since I lose my earbuds at least once every two months I would never spend a lot on them. I'm happy with the quality, I doubt it is as bad as some people describe the stock headphones for the amaze-- but my theory is if they are using a rom with beats audio the headphones may not be capable of creating that kind of sound at higher volumes.
To the best of my knowledge no android(I've seen at least) has working volume control, tho I'll bet a few might.. I haven't tried any with volume control on my amaze.
I use poweramp music player, I press 1 time to pause/play, two times to skip, and then you can decide what you want three presses to do- I have it switch playlists. If someone calls I press once to answer, once to hang up, and if I was listening to music it comes back on.
I've never been totally sure, but I think the beats audio libs only work on the stock music app, so that might be why I don't have any complaints about audio quality(because I use poweramp)..
Anyways, thought I'd share in case it was helpful.
Wtf how can this speaker pop if it has an amplifier for the speaker. I am so mad I hope Verizon fixes it I only had this phone for 2 months

We're you listening to it at full blast or did you have any other amplifier besides beats because if you did then that could have also contributed to it.

Yeah but the difference is the DNA has better internal audio hardware and if it gets pushed far enough it will.
I would go through HTC, if they warranty repair it they can fix the device and send it back instead of replacing it.

I don't even use the speaker I use headphones and usually keep my phone on silent or vibrate. If you can deal with not having a speaker it's probably better than sending it for repair they are probably going to replace it and if you are rooted and s off unlocked right now you will lose everything and need to jtag your replacement.

The speakers matter. Keep those amp and throw ****ty speakers on it. Raise volume. Speakers blown.
So in the instance of blowing speakers, they are correct, the amp isn't what is keeping it from being blown.
An amp is an AMPLIFIER. It amplifies sound. It isn't protecting speakers from being blown, if anything, it is helping the cause.

Yes and no, an underpowered amp will blow a speaker faster then an overpowered amp will on the same speaker, it clips and starts sending voltage and burning the coil. So in a way an amp does help prevent speakers from blowing, but only to a certain point, then they can also still overpower the speaker.
If that's what happened to the phone, I don't know, but saying an amp will prevent it is inaccurate, but so is saying an amp will cause it, it's all in what the amp and speaker combination is capable of.

The 2.04 OTA screwed up my sound control. I didn't have sound issues before the update, but after...horrible. The sound profiles for headphones and normal (no headphones/headset) would change volume settings at random and would reset to a default full volume every time I unplugged my headphones. Then while headphones were in the volume would jump to full either randomly or when the first notification came across even with the settings for ringer and notifications were all the way down to be silent. The only thing I have the volume turned up on normally is the alarm. I prefer vibrate over sounds. Less than a week after the 2.04 update, my speaker started to crackle. Within a month it was dead. I could get a few seconds of sound out if by squeezing the sides of the phone. Just got my replacement yesterday and it has been good so far (on 2.04).
Both of these phones were completely stock. I have my old HTC One S for playing around with root, but if unlock is figured out for the 2.04/2.06 phones I will be rooting to avoid the chance of this happening again.
