I use these headphones with my iPod Touch, and would do the same with my phone. However, I can only hear the song properly on my phone if I push down the middle button of the remote. Does anybody know how to fix this?
Also, if I use the ones that came with the phone, and I plug them into my iPod, the same thing happens and I have to hold the silver button.
Thanks in advance.
This has already been covered.
Short answer:
Despite the same plug style they are NOT interchangeable. Samsung and SE headsets seem to work with either or without this problem, but not Apple.
Does anyone know of an inline headphone adapter that has remote controls and I can plug my own earphones into? I'm talking about something like this:

I heard iphone adapters like above kinda works for Mortplayer and Mixzing (one click pause, two click skip forward but not volume etc.) Anyone tried these or a better solution? I don't want to use the stock ones nor cut and solder a female jack. Thanks
I have one of those, I use it with my old 2nd gen iPod touch when I run... To be honest I've never tried it with my phone but I can test it tonight if you want, just lemme know what app you'd like me to test with. Personally I'm partial to Headset Button Controller since you can pair it up with any music app or even Tasker for other tasks... I still use HTC's stock player most of the time (unless I'm playing Pandora or stuff from my Amazon cloud), the lock screen controls are the most seamlessly integrated imo.
I can almost guarantee the volume buttons won't work for any function tho. I also have a Philips adapter that they used to sell at Target, it's like 3 ft long with the single button, microphone and 3.5mm jack both at the end of the cable... Used to be like $10, haven't seen it in a while tho.
Rather than spend $10+ on a cable tho, I'd recommend just gettin a solid set of IEMs from someone like Meelectronics with the mic/button integrated and positioned at a proper height in the cable. I bought my M9P for like $20 with a discount and according to many on Head-Fi they rival some of the $50 IEMs... They definitely sound better than my old Senheisser CX300 (paid like $60 for those but that was years ago when there were next to no budget IEMs).
You know, unless you have a very specific need for the adapter or you already have a high end pair of headphones.
My 2c
I preorder these http://www.klipsch.com/image-S4A-headphones
I wonder how the Android version of the S4 will handle volume control in conjunction with their app... Could make it worth the price, generally they're nice but not quite worth $100 from what I've read (again, Head Fi's a great place for headphone comparison etc).
I have a Acoustic Research Bluetooth adaptor that turns any headphones/speakers into wireless Bluetooth headphone/speakers. It has controls on it for skipping tracks and volume. It works perfect and I love it!!

i got the klipsch promedias which are basically the same, and the control definitely works but both the music and the phone app try to handle the events. so double-clicking it skips to the next song and at the same time redials the last number. it works well for pause/resume though.

Pretty sure that is your rom you're using.. they haven't properly switched the remote to only work when in a call state or some such. Remote shouldn't do anything but control the music app unless the phone is ringing or you're already using it.

i agree, i should have mentioned my phone is completely stock with the latest firmware update.
Wait, so we can buy headphones which have the iPod like remotes on the cord right? Haven't been sure and didn't want to take the plunge yet.

Would you be able to test it with stock Sense music player? I'm wondering if it would make pause and skip next tracks.
My M9P's button didn't work with the stock player on the EVO 4G, which is why I started using Headset Button Controller (which solves the issue and allows me to keep using the stock player), I've yet to try it on the 3D tho. I'll try it tonight with the headphones and both the adapters I mentioned. It might surprise me, I noticed the 3D cuts volume to 50% automatically when you plug in headphones, that's something the 4G definitely didn't do!
Alright, sorry about that, I fell asleep last night prior to testing this. I tested the short 2-3" Belkin iPod adapter that was linked before, as well as the longer Philips adapter with a mic that I mentioned, and my own Meelectronics headphones with in-line mic/button. They all worked exactly the same despite the fact that the first one doesn't have a microphone, the electric signal they all send thru the third marking on the 3.5mm jack is the same after all.
On a stock EVO 3D, one press of the button on any of them will start the music player (with the phone locked or oherwise), and a second press will obviously pause it. A double click or press will dial your last dialed number, and pressing and holding will invoke voice search just like long pressing the search button. Pressing the button while the phone rings answers the call as expected and pressing it again hangs up. There's no triple press functionality and the volume buttons on the Belkin thing did nothing at all.
With Headset Button Controller installed you can change any of that behavior, and assign functions to triple press, amongst a lot of other things... And it integrates just fine with the stock player, so if you want more control over your button functions, it's probably worth the $2.60-ish. If anyone wants it tested with any other app just lemme know, tho HBC probably covers the expanded needs of most even if your particular player doesn't.
HBC also has support for what it calls left and right buttons but these definitely don't correspond with the volume buttons on a standard iPod adapter, not sure what headsets have 3 buttons which HBC might recognize... That Kplisch set mentioned before might be one.
I have the Klipsch S5i & only the play & pause works, double tap radials the last call & the volume buttons are unsupported.

Dont discount the Bluetooth stereo headsets,
Did anyone ever answer the OP's actual question? I need an adapter for my own headphones with a pause/play button that will work on an LG Optimus. I do NOT want a Bluetooth option and I do NOT want recommendations for headphones. I have a set of headphones that I love, but they don't have a pause/play button. I'm also not willing to cut and splice/solder. I don't need volume or skip track buttons. I just need to be able to quickly pause the audiobook I'm listening to without unlocking my phone.
All I can find is adapters for iphones and ipods, but I need one for my android phone.
The stereo in my car supports Ipods and Iphones via USB. The stereo recognizes the Apple devices and lets you browse the media through the stereo itself - fully cataloged. You can also use Pandora and other music software through the USB port.
When I plug my Photon into the USB port, the only thing that works is browsing the media stored locally on the phone as a USB drive. I can't stream Pandora through the USB port.
Any way around this? Any way to emulate an Iphone?
Get a bluetooth receiver
I have a nice Sony HD Radio receiver, it doesn't support bluetooth. I don't want to spend a bunch of money replacing it.

Assuming the stereo has the ability to hook one in...not to mention that, they are stupid expensive in a lot of cases.
But onto the actual question, no - there is no way to emulate an iOS device. The cable for an iDevice has several extra pins, which include Audio Out - ours doesn't in the USB connector at least.

That makes sense to me. I guess the standard audio-out jack will have to do.
Thanks!
AVRCP 3.0 will have some of what you are looking for in regards to transfering current song info over to the HU. The driver is already built by BlueZ i think it is (which ever the open source driver android uses) so its just a matter of getting it in android. Maybe ICS?
For Audio its either BT or audio jack. You can also access anything on the USB partition (some support multiple devices) but some HU do not index things corectly (my eclipse will not put things in alphabetical order arggggg) so its luck of the draw.
Plus there are more HU coming out including ones now coming WITH android.
I have searched without any luck for a stereo dock that doesnt use the headphone jack. I have a logitech for my old iphone that u just set the phone in it and use the remote. Has anyone come across one for the galaxy s2 yet?
I believe there's one made by Philips which is available at Best Buy.

thanks,
I found this one too AS851 (Cant link yet). Comes with a remote and is 30 watts. They say you cant stream music thru the micro usb, but then how does the unit send audio and video to a HDMI cable, so I would think its possible. shrug

All of those docks use Bluetooth to stream the audio. From what I know the USB port on the bottom doesn't have the ability to natively send audio out of the pins. I would love to have a simple dock too for this phone that would let audio out without having to jack in on the top of the phone, but it's just not designed that way.
I used to have an ATT "Fuze" (touch pro) - used to have to carry a dongle everywhere with me to plug in headphones. I'm much happier that I don't need a dongle, but it does suck to have to plug in 2 things in the car to get audio and charge at the same time.

Was wondering any one had any experence with some of the bluetooth car kits that are out there now. What i am looking for is one that can be powered from a standered car power port and hook up to the AUX port of the stereo then the phone streams music to it via bluetooth. I dont have built in bluetooth in my truck nor can i easily replace the stock head unit. there are a bunch of these out on the market today but i want to hear some feedback on whitch one if any yall have used and how good it worked
you could maybe use this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003D...3-6577789-3213205?ref_=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us
connect one end of the aux cable to your car stereo, the other end to that Bluetooth device, and then connect your device to the Bluetooth thing.
theoretically, it should work.
Problem with that one is it probally needs a battery.
