Player 4.2 and wifi calls - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

I already own the smaller galaxy 3.6 player but I want to buy the bigger 4.2 player. With the 3.6 it has a builtin mic and earpiece so I can use it essentially as a phone with google voice. But my only concern with the 4.2 is if it has a mic and earpiece? I noticed that it does have 2 speakers on the front.

I believe so, most every android device I've seen has a microphone on it, I know my SGP 4.0 and my Tab 2 7" (both Samsung products) have one.
this talks about using it for SKYPE http://www.techradar.com/reviews/ga...xy-player-4-2-1090417/review/3#articleContent so that would to me anyway confirm a microphone.

Yeah that make sense. Thanks.

Ok

Compatible headset with remote control?

Hello!
Can anyone here suggest me some headset (NOT Bluetooth) with remote control, which is compatible with HD? Unfortunately RC E100 is not compatible, it is just only for diamond and touch pro

Unfortunately, none exists (and most probably none will exist, unless it will use both the audio and the extUSB jacks). The 3.5mm jack in fact seems to be a disadvantage.
Let's hope I'm wrong and the 3.5mm jack is capable of transmitting data and powering the remote, but I wouldn't bet on this.
Well, on the headphones that come with the HD, there are 2 buttons with which you can do commands, maybe thats what he means.
He is talking specifically about RC E100.
Which 2 buttons are you talking about? I have only one, which allows to hang up/pick up or dial last number. This is standard for most phones, although usually there's also a volume control.
I'm talking about a remote control as headset,which has play/pause button as well. Yeah, rc e100 was the best for diamond & pro. I have a vnmoda headset sppecially iphone,but it compatible with hd. I mean i can recieve calls,but can not play/pause music.
Why is the RC E100 not compatible with the HD? Are there specific Drivers in the Diamond ROM? The HD also has a ExtUSB Port.... so it should work. Or may I be wrong?
Just stumbled upon this thread and darnnnn.
The ultimate (and elemental) accessoiry for the HD has got to be a remote control headset.
I decided to buy the RC E100 from a dutch website.
It clearly states that the accessoiry is tested with and proven to function with the Touch HD.
I tried connecting it and obviously the info on the site is wrong.
Utterly disappointed I would like to know where I can find a statement saying it isn't compatible.
Can anyone help me with that?
Yeah, i have managed to try the rc e100 with my HD, and it says not compatible device and remove from usb port. I don't understand either

There is audio in the extUSB jack on HD
excuse my ignorance, and i'm anticipating the tut tut noises from everyone, but would the iPhone or iPhone compatible earphones work? I have seen plenty of iPhone compatible earphones with call and music controls advertised. I assumed they would work with the HD but I'm no expert.
guidance welcome ;-)

You will be able to talk, probably pick/hang up the call, but the music controls most probably won't work.

I have V-moda headset, which basically is for IPhone 3G. It it works with HD, I mean you can reaceive calls, or start voice dial,BUT YOU CAN NOT play/pause the music unfortunately. It worked on iphone, but here on HD doesn't
So the only chance to control music on the HD (without touching the HD) is to buy A2DP earphones?
Hope HTC has but a datastream line in their 3.5mm jack!!!!
Would really be a little disappointment if it wouldnt be possible!
Btw. are there good A2DP earphones you can recommend?

You'd better prepare for a disappointment.
I haven't used A2DP on HD, but people report that it stutters with some devices at least. In addition to the problem that you need to charge the headphones separately.
I have tried my HD with Sony Ericsson Ds-980 Stereo bluetooth headset, but unfortunately, the music not clear. Sorry i can't explain it exactly, so you hear some noise or something like that and the music sound not too clear and of course eat the energy from HD during you use A2dp
What about using a BT audio dongle to control the HD and using the wired 3.5mm from the HD for the sound?
Ok, so let me get it clear...
HD has 3.5mm jack slot like for example X1 but it's impossible to use it proper way?
Biggest mistake IMO - HTC should have done headphones like SE so we can separate them from microphone and remote and plug what we like instead....
So if I would like to control playback and talks I HAVE TO use bluetooth set?
They should have just left the extUSB functionality.
I have some bluetooth headphones (GEAR4 PG118 BluPhones) and they work perfectly on the HD. A tiny bit of hiss, but sound is very good, very clear. Tried it on music player and coreplayer for movies
- Your HTC device may require a driver for this audio accessory to function correctly. If you experience any problems, then please download the driver from here, once the driver is downloaded, the file name needs to be renamed to zip.
I think HTC did not include the HTC driver for the USB as standard in the rom

HTC 3 5mm Stereo Headset w/ Music Controls RC E160 and touch hd

New headphones for Touch HD 2 with music control - Anyone know if these headphones will work on the Touch HD?

Not sure if the music controls will work but the call button and mic should be ok at least.
My only concern would be the affect on the fm radio as this wont have an integrated antennae.
wen i bought my htc hd.... it came with the same headset with the media control.... i am in the uk...
re same headset
Just to clarify - are you saying you bought an HTC Touch HD which came with the HTC Touch HD 2 headset (complete with media controls) and it works ok with it?
If you could confirm this that would be great as I would like to buy this headset for my HTC Touch HD.
can anyone confirm that the headphones with the remote work with the blackstone?
thanks
I got my wife a HD2 yesterday so tried the headphones with NRG's ROM and the remote did not work other than for answering, hanging up and redialling calls.
Maybe does it work with ROMs based on HD2 oems? I think it should. Can someone confirm that?
don't bother, i got the hd2 and the stupid headset cannot even control the volume. Only possible to play, previous and next and answer call........

I thought that the ground lead acted as antenna. This because the plug is "only" 4 lead. gnd - left - right- mic.
1) i have "HTC Touch HD" and "RC E160" - work only microphone.
2) i change ROM - Gooru M4.0 - (based HTC HD2) - work only microphone.
"RC E160" (full functionality) for: "HTC Hero" (Android) and "HTC Tattoo" (Android)
may be helps people, who made ROM for WM
I've installed a WM6.5-ROM based on Touch HD2, but MusicControls won't work...
Maybe its just an Driver-Problem?!
Hi, i've found these from amazon, Jbuds J3M, do you guys think it will work on the touch HD
I can confirm that music controls of RC E160 doesn't work in touch HD...
also the quality of audio is really worse than the original of htc HD... maybe it is becuase of the crisis....

Disconnecting problem with Sennheiser mm30i and Klipsch s4i

Hello
I wonder has anyone experieced this problem below?
I have a pair of Sennheiser mm30i and also pair of Klipsch s4i, both with inline mic and button control. What happen is, when there is an incoming call and when I use the control button to accept the call, the headphones (both of them) disconnect. I have to unpluy and re-plug the headphones. But if I slide the screen to accept the call OR using auto answer fuction, everything is just fine i.e. they don't disconnect and I can alo use the button to end the call. I have use both of the headphones on my S2 and they are fine also.
The above doesn't happen with the stock headphones.
My S3 is stock and I have messed around with any files.
Please could somebody kindly provide some suggestions.
Thanks
Ron
Well, for the S4i Klipsch, I currently owe the basic S4 and encountered no problems, but the S4i are designed to be iPhone compatible.
Another version of the S4 does exist for Android. So it might be that even if it used to work on your old S2.
The same goes for you other headset, once more Apple compatible but no instruction for Android device.
Maybe the differences between S2 and S3's hardware make your headphone unable to take a call.
But it's good point for me, I planned to buy a new headset with mic So by helping you out, I'm saving myself from buying the wonrg one.

Thank you for thre reply.
It is strange that the central button works for volume adjustment, next trrack etc using the Headset button control app and Jays apps.
There are differencies betweek controlling the music player and the dialer
But as the stock headset works well, the jack port seems to be good and none faulty.
Anyway for 80$ the headset, they could make them to be iOS/Android compatible at least ...
not sure about ios , they seem to be in their little own world
In their little revolutionized world, i'd say

[Q] External microphone , Is it possible?

Hi
At the moment im in the planning stages of doing a Nexus 7 headunit for my car.
What I have planned at the moment is for the nexus 7 and the S3 to be running tablet talk.
This allows the called id to be displayed on the nexus whilst the phone still does the calls.
What i wanted to do was have my S3 and nexus 7 plugged in via splitter to the aux to my radio
This will allow the S3 call to be played on the car speakers aswell as the audio from the Nexus 7.
When i receive a call the nexus 7 audio mutes and the S3 can continue to route audio to the car
Is there such an adapter that will allow the audio to pass through and allow me to plug in a small microphone?
Like how the normal headphones work with built in mic.
I would like the same sort of thing, where as the phone call is routed through the headset jack and to the car speakers, and if i add a microphone as well so that i can have the phone in the arm rest hidden and use a better microphone near the windscreen just like a normal bluetooth handsfree kit does.
If anyone can help i would really appreciate it, As this will solve alot of problems for me
Edit:
Seen some

Bluetooth audio quality?

So.. I bought the DNA today and am severely regretting this decision.. Wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue?
I have a Jaybird BlueBuds X bluetooth headphones. Compared to a lot of others, they have an amazing sound quality.. at least they had an amazing sound quality. When they were connected to my Galaxy S3 (running CM10.1 in the interest of full disclosure), they sounded as if they were hard-wired - no distortion, no buzzing, perfect sound quality.
I paired them with my new DNA, hoping for the same audio quality (and then some, due to famed Beats Audio) and... didn't get it.
So the problem I'm running into here is that they now sound like a pair of cheap, 10$ bluetooth headphones - the sound is distorted, there is crackling noise in the background, the music sounds like as if it's 64 kbps - barely usable, very unpleasant. As soon as I pair it back to my old S3, the sound comes back to life.
I've read the forums and understand that the OTA pushed out an update with some bluetooth fix.. I have the OTA (got it that way), so my phone is already running the supposed sound fix.
Has anyone experienced same problem? Especially with higher-end BT headphones? (Jaybirds, Sennheissers etc) Really like the phone, have been an HTC fan since WinMo days, but I simply cannot tolerate this BT flaw... Does it have to do with the BT chip that DNA has, or is it the BT stack/driver on this one?
++> On a side note - sound quality over wire is great.. so this a bluetooth only issue. The issue (noise) is more pronounced on higher frequencies..
I don't have BT headphones, but do have a Sony Xplod CD deck in my wife's Honda & pairing any of my HTC phones via BT sounds so horrible. However, I did get the HTC Steroclip for my Sony Xplod CD deck without BT in my truck & it sounds great. What gives? Was wondering if it might be the same issue as with the headphones.
I am running Creative 350's with apt-x codec and they sound great. I would find a set of headphones with apt-x. You won't be disappointed.

Well, quite honestly, when i first started researching bt headphones for exercising there has not been a single pair that garnered the amount of positive reviews as the bluebuds.. plus they did sound amazing on s3. I did look for aptx - s3 uses it, but no workout headphones that had aptx had good reviews in terms of build quality etc.
I do wonder tho...
On dev.android under the about Android 4.2 JB it does mention that it got a new BT stack developed, replacing current BlueZ as well as updated low-latency audio.. maybe the new stack does indeed improve quality.
im going to flash the s3 with stock 4.1 and see how it sounds and then try a couple of variations of aosp stuff and report back..
Ps. I also found a mention of how s3 uses a2dp edr natively, whereas dna is using aptx... Its going to suck if this is truly a hardware issue...

I think Stereoclip has aptx.
So I flashed S3 back to Stock VRALF2, 4.0.x ICS, and played a couple of songs and still was getting crystal clear quality.. So it has to be the BT implementation in DNA.. Sad. Anyone has any insight into why/what could be the root cause? BT chip? DAC chip?
Thanks
If it helps any, Bluetooth audio sounds great in my 2012 Sonata.

Is codec support built into blutooth or can codecs be added/modified. If so its a non issue. I would help with codec support if I were rooted

Same issue. I streamed music from the same Google Music account, on both my Rezound and DNA, to the same receiver (2010 Infinity G37S).
DNA audio quality is noticeably bad. Especially in mid and high range. It sounds like very low bitrate audio, and/or very lossy compression. The Rezound audio quality over BT is nearly the same as wired.
I suspect HTC has deliberately chose to use a low bitpool value for A2DP w/ the stock Sense ROM. DNA now supports atpX. So, they gimped A2DP stream, with the goal being to sell more of their Bluetooth Stereo Clip product, that support atpX.

Jaybird + dna
I have a set of jaybird freedom's myself and have had no issues with bluetooth, beats audio or audio quality. One thing i have seen though is that some roms do not handle beats over bluetooth very well. The other thing you probably should look at is to make sure that it is pairing as a stereo audio device and not a mono audio device.
+1 for horrible quality here. I use these LG blue tooth ear buds and they just sound terrible. sounded fine on my gs3...and I used one of those jbl stereo boxes and it's awful.. and again fine on the gs3. sucks.

DNA Sound Quality
I hope you haven't given up entirely on your DNA since your post because there are some options you can explore.
Did you try turning off "Beats Audio" in your settings? I purchased the Power Amp music player update and Power Amp and Beats Audio don't work well together. In my experience, the standard Music player that comes with your phone works best with Beats. Other music players may also have the same problem. Second question, did your problem go away with the latest update to Jelly Bean 4.2.2?
Good Luck,
