I bought the HTC Headset SC 200, and connected it to my lovely HTC HD. Sadly, my HTC HD don't want it (error message).
I searched on Web after an USB driver for the HTC HD but didn't found it.
Is there a solution ? Could you help me please ?
Thanks
There's no solution as of yet, as far as I know. The driver you are talking about won't help.

I use a
Motorola H700 for phone function and
Motorola S9 for music and video
without any problem until today.
Best regards

I agree. My understanding is there is no possible audio out of the USB connector for the HD.
I was curious as I have the "old" HTC cradles for the Touch Pro in use with my HD. I wanted to use the audio out on the cradle to feed my hifi but after checking in XDA and elsewhere it seems the HD has no audio out in the USB (and no TV out).

Hi,
I am new to the forum as well as i am new to HTC. i bought the USB wired headset and the conveter and it didn't work however; one of my friend has the HTC touch HD and the same headset i bought and the converter and they are working perfectly. Once he upgraded the ROM with a cooked one, the headset stopped working and he started receiving the same error message "the device doesn't support USB headset".
it seems that the original ROM contains a certain driver for the USB headsets.

I have a cooked rom and it doesn't work.
My HD has to get a cooked ROM because I need sim unlock.
what a shame!
Hmm...i have also bought usb headset.
With the same message "the device doesn't support USB headset"
And i have google it but no answear
it's extUSB not usb
extusb == usb with extra htc audio connectors
usb is a digital serial interface which does not support audio
and a real usb headset would be an usb soundcard which would require
usbHost on the devices part something which precious few pda's support
blackstone not being one of those
BUMP
Anyone has solution for this? Is it a software problem, rom problem, or hardware problem?
I'm facing this thus if nothing helps I'll havta send the thing back.

short answer: No it won't work.
as far as I know from google, HD doesn't send audio to extusb, but just to 3.5 mm jack.
I bought an usb adapter from ebay and i made a complain to get full refund.

I have a pair of nuforce; the best bet is to go to a site like amazon and skim the reviews to see if anyone has success with an andriod device.
I'm not aware of any headset with three button controls that work on Android phones. All single button headsets I've owned and tried have worked fine though.
Here's a link to a site I sometimes use to buy headphones from, with a direct link to headsets with mics and button controls. Unfortunately, many of them are made specifically to only work with Apple products, but like I mentioned, all single button headsets should work properly.
http://www.headphone.com/headphones/headset.php
Even though their products tend to be overpriced, I currently use and recommend the Bose MIE2s. I also own the Klipsch S4s and enjoy their sound. There is a mobile version that's made specifically for Android phones as well.

Normally for music I use AudioTechica, which does not have a mic and control..
But if you want one, try the new Phillips O'neil branded "Specked"..
there are 2 versions though, one with Mic and one without....
With Mic version cost around 30 euros over here, but in US maybe it is cheaper....
It also provides an Adaptor which you could use for Nokia/Samsung mobiles...so it is a complete package....

I personally use either my V-MODA REVAMP headphones or my Sennheiser IE8i (A fairly high end IEM BTW) headphones. Both of the mics work, but the buttons on the IE8i don't work so hot because it's iPhone proprietary buttons.
my blackberry headphones used to work well on BB and on HTC Desire S.
by working well, I mean 1 press answer/end the call, long press redials the last number
when in music player, a press on the same button is pause/play.
on RAZR so far only long press works for redial of last number. short press activate voice commands, and play/pause simply does not work. Any idea how to revert to "normal"?

Well the working of the controls is strictly dependent on the interface chip used.... in that case, one particular control might not be completely useful into another phone..
Hence the new days headphones have minimalistic controls only.... and they do mention which phones it can be used with.....
the headphones with larger repertoire of controls are mainly bluetooth , since bluetooth is an open standard...

I just got an S3 and I'd like to ask if it is possible to listen to FM radio over Bluetooth.
i connect the standard headphones to enable the FM radio and the only option is to switch output between the headphones and the loud speaker.
I've seen cheap chinese android phones doing that, there should be a way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, help me avoid selling my new toy
Sorry to say but it won't work. The reason (as the app itself already accurately describes in the error message) is that your headphone's cables are used as an antenna for the phone's FM receiver.
FM antenna's are actually quite big (at least compared to other antennas) even when using the so-called fractal design because they use a very slow (roughly 80 - 110 MHz, compared to e.g. WIFI's 2400MHz) frequency. To save space, Samsung moves them to the hedphones on all mobile phones I know of.
I don't know if it still works on S3 (never tried) but on the S1, if the station is broadcasting with enough signal strength, you could cut off the plug of old broken headphones and plug it into the phone to use the radio.
Afaik Spirit FM (now paid in all versions) can override the requirement but you'll need to press your finger to the jack so you can receive anything... pointless.
Alternatively you could use an app for internet radio such as TuneIn; most radio stations (at least all around here) provide web-streams for on-the-go radio listening. However you should make sure you got a decent internet flatrate, I managed to chew through nearly 4GB just with music streaming this month.
Most countries seem to have abolished mobile data flatrates.

The OP understands that the phone needs the cord to act as an antenna. I think what they simply want to know is if the phone can then route the sound to the bluetooth device instead of through the speakerphone or the headphones.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
d4fseeker I understand that the headphones should be connected since they serve as fm antenna. What i want is to listen to fm stations through bluetooth while the headphones are connected as bigb25 says.
TuneIn is not a solution for me since some stations I want are not available and cause I am a hiker internet is not always available where I go.
Maybe there is a fix or a different radio fm app?
OK quick test... plugged in 3.5mm - 3.5mm jack lead into headphone socket to act as the FM antenna and started the radio, selected sound to speaker and all worked fine. switched on Bluetooth headset no sound in headset, switched off sound to speakers still couldn't hear anything. Unplugged patch lead (this ends radio anyway) played an mp3from music player and sound returned to BT headset.
So unfortunately the answer is no you can't, as soon as you plug the anything into the headphone jack it cuts out the sound to any other device.
This may well be a mechanical switch within the headphone socket and so unlikely that there's a get around in a custom rom....but then I know nothing about roms

The latest Free version of Spirit can always be found at the top of post 1 of my Q&A thread. See my sig.
My cheapest ($80) test phone gets good audio AND RDS with no antenna. Ironically it's the best of 12 operational test phones I have. It's a Samsung GT-i5500 with the great, sensitive new Broadcom 4330/20780 family of chips.
But yeah, my Galaxy S and S2 don't do very well with no antenna. My Galaxy Note does better. Haven't heard from anyone with an S3 yet. They all have the Si4709 FM chip, which has positives and negatives. Internal circuitry etc. makes a difference too.
And I can thank the very positive sales response I've had from S2 and Note owners for being able to buy these expensive devices for testing. I'll do everything I can to make Spirit run well on S3 and hope to buy one soon.
I have yet to find a phone that does FM over BT, except for a strange very low quality mode I have working on some BCM 4325 based devices.
If the FM can be done in the digital domain, instead of the more common analog, then in theory it should be possible to do FM over BT.
But then again, in theory the Galaxy S and S2 hardware are capable of FM record (digital). Yet the audio libraries don't seem to support it, and I think it'd be a major/infeasible job to hack the libraries for it.
The Note and I think the S3 can do FM record with stock audio libraries. So I think FM over BT on these devices is feasible, at least with stock ROMs and/or using stock libraries.
But on non-stock ROMs like CM9, the Note seems incapable of FM record.
Basically, if the stock ROM and stock FM app don't support FM over BT, then I think it's not EASILY possible.
If it could be made to work, there's no reason why a phone couldn't have a wired earphone plugged in at the same time that FM goes over BT. This might "confuse" the audio system though, which usually sends audio over a wired headset if one is plugged.
Then again, it's also possible to have a plug that's partly inserted (or maybe even wired creatively). Enough for antenna but not enough to push audio through the wired headset.
Thanks mikereidis.
I tried the free version, it plays only when the headphones are connected.
Do you think you could look at the possibility to send output to bluetooth?

I have one person reporting success with my app on GS3 on CM9 June 19 now.
It only works one time though, then requires a reboot for the 2nd time.
This was with an experimental release I haven't made public yet.
I hope GS3's will be coming down at least $100 over the next month. $700 is pretty darn steep, even if it's got a leg up on the One X and One XL I bought recently for 570 and 500.

That's very interesting; thanks for the info.
There are a variety of relatively inexpensive Chinese devices that have unique qualities, such as FM on an Android tablet, or digital TV tuner, or FM transmit I think.
But these devices are not widely available, or popular I think, in most Western countries. Information, source code and custom ROMs can be difficult to impossible to find.
As for Android: the audio systems can be kind of a big complicated mess. I don't think I've ever seen a single phone with an audio balance setting, among other things. But at least some Androids have "over the air" FM, whereas iPhone's have never had FM, despite years of rumors.
i am thinking of using one of these dongles though I doubt about the quality

Kind of a drag to have a dongle hanging off though, in addition to the wired earphone for antenna.
There's been a lot of praise for the Sony MW600 Bluetooth stereo headset with built-in FM the last few years. Under $40 on EBay now.
I just ordered the apparent successor, the MW1 for $120 plus shipping the other day. It even has a music player built in, besides the FM and BT 3.0 support.
I need the A2DP headset because I think I'll be able to support FM over Bluetooth on some devices in the next few months, and I need something to test with.
MW1 seems interesting with many features but the price is ....

The headphone jack has a part that senses when a headphone is inserted (the metal
in the headphone plug shorts it. It seems like you could make a plug that connects
to the metal of the ground pin (for the radio antenna) but isn't "inserted" so the phone
won't disable using BT.
Anyways, only i9300 will support FM, there is no way to get FM working with the Broadcom
chip in the US S3's. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31576462#post31576462

Hey guys,
Looking at getting a new head unit for my truck, and I saw that Pioneer had some that used Android Media Control through the USB, and I just wondered if anyone had used it and knew how well it worked.
I just had some questions like does it recognize playlists and stuff like that. Especially if I'm using something like doubleTwist to sync my music to my phone.
Or am I just better off using bluetooth?

I don't mean the App Radio 2, those are expensive.
I'm just talking about their usb interface. I'm wondering if it'll recognize playlists and stuff from non-OEM music players, or if it just uses the file system to play music. I always hated using it that way, because you could never organize your music, unless you put everything into separate folders. And that's a pain in the @$$.
Here is the deck that I'm looking at:

Anyone got any experiences with newer Pioneer, Android, and how the well the deck works over USB?

App radio 2 is bad ass. Picked it up at Best Buy for $250 brand new. Since Pioneer is pushing out the 3 now, the 2 is hard to find for a deal but I have seen them out there. Full HDMI mirroring with touch imput. Cant beat it.
I've got a AVH-P1400DVD and it used to work like a usb drive. It also read all the files, so any ringtones or sounds would be thrown in the mix. I've heard the newer models have better Android support, but I own an iPod just for the car. Unfortunately, nobody has mastered Apple's integration... yet.
App radio also supports iPhone/iPod. Check out appradioforums.com

Tried the headset that came with my old Xperia X10.. what do you know... I got the same message... I've MW600 bluetooth headset but skype doesnt working with bluetooth so i just wanted to try with headset.
Now here is the irony part... I tried the headset that came with my Galaxy SII... it worked like a charm. I then tried with one that I bought from china some no brand headset... and it still works... so whats with sony's attitude.... is it coz it was Xperia before they named it just "Sony" ? Is it firmware bug/limitation? or is it just my tablet... the headset are fine it works with both xperias and SG 2. my tab is SGP321.

Since 2012, Sony phones uses a different headphone hack. It is similar to iPhone one,where two pins are inverted. That's the reason.
From Sony's Xperia Tablet Z Troubleshooting Knowledgebase.
"There are different standards for wired portable headsets. Your Xperia™ device supports the newer CTIA standard. Your headset may have a connector type of a different standard, for example OMTP. If your new device came with a headset, try using that. Alternatively, you can buy an adapter to be able to use your headset with your new device."
Amazon.com sells Sony's CTIA to OMTP adapter.
