[Q] suggest headset with in-line mic and seprate volume controls - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
To cut the long storhy short, i am looking for a good non-OEM headset that has seprate volument controls. Its surprising that we hardly nhave any heanrodi compatable headsets with seprate volumen buttons from makers like Senn..,JAys etc..
Thanks to Jellybean, we are no longer able to use "long press option" and there is no good workaround also for that.. iPhone head sets also not working as + and - buttons are not recognized on adnroid..
Please suggest a workaround for a normal headset or a good quality bass output headset please..
I am using rootbox JB4.2.2 rom on a Galaxy note 2 (N7100) phone.

Sony MH1C? However before buying check the Head-Fi topic regarding it, buy afaik it works.

Any *wired* mic / headphone set support the play / pause button?

I've done a few searches but have not been able to find an answer. Does the Transformer support the play / pause button on *any* wired mic / headset combo? I've tried a set of Skullcandy FMJ and a Sansung Vibrant headset, neither of which get a response from the Transformer. Just wondering if this feature was supported on any wired mic / headset out on the market, or is it just not supported at all?
Thanks!
With the Klipsch app in the market, I've been able to use the controls on my SkullCandy earbuds on my Droid2.
Thanks for the responses, I've checked the Market and found a few headphone apps that let you configure the button. I'll have to experiment with a few...

I couldn't find any apps that would work with my headset. Let us know please if you find something.
I tried the Klipsch app without success. Haven't been able to find anything that allows mic controls to work either.
I tried 4-5 headset and went back @ my jabra dogtag (bt3030) you can stil find them via ebay for about 15-20$ and you can connect any headphone you want

I have the same issue on the TF101, I was hoping to be able to get at least the play/pause button to work on the TF101 but so far no luck. I have the Image S5i from Klipsch and with the app I do get more functionality from the play/pause button (+ & -- buttons still do not function though) on my LG G2x.
So I am wondering IF it is possible that TF101 is not capable of supporting button functionality from a headset. I sure hope that is NOT the case. I would really like to be able to use at least the play/pause function from my Image S5i's.
If any body knows a remedy to make it operational it would be greatly appreciated from both me and my wife.

[Q] Sennheiser adidas PMX 680i Sport Controls

Hi Guys,
Has anybody this type of headphone (this one)? I'm searching for new running headphones and saw this one. Only thing that makes me wondering, are the controls working on this one because the headphone is build for iphones?
Greets,

I don't have that pair but used 2 other pairs with remotes. 1 was specifically for the iphone. What I found is just the play pause button works. Any other one won't do anything. But there are apps that will let you program say 2 clicks to skip the track, 3 to select previous, holding button to increase volume, etc. I'd find out the return policy and maybe try it.
By the way, if you want a durable set with clear audio and gut punching bass... Look into Munito headphones. Their remote does work but it's just 1 button.

[Q] MHL, USB JIG & OT, APT-X Queries

Hi Guys,
I have some queries egarding S3, would be great if some may share his/her inputs or feedbacks. I am sure that it would be of help to other members too who would like to know the same.
1) How is the Bluetooth Sound Quality. Its bad in SII but i have seen that S3 has APT-X codex support for lossless audio but in practical, does it really help ?? i mean is the sound quality over bluetooth good.
As currently iam using a Sony MW600 with SII but at higher volumes the audio distort.
2) I have been searching in multiple unboxing video and review videos but no one actually opened the S3 stock headset.
All i know is that the headset does have play/pause , call end/answer and volume up/down buttons.
But i would like to know if the headset is capable of changing the tracks (prev/next) as well.
3) Will the same MHL cable work in S3 which i have for S2. I mean is the cable electrically compaltible ??
4) Will the Same USG OTG cable work which i have for S2 ??
5) Have read in Chainfire thread that Samsung has changed the Kernel Package, so will the USB Jig that i have for S2 work on S3.
Any or all answer on the above queries would be deeply appreciated and would thank in advance for replying.

No, it can't change tracks. I think there was an app on the Play store for that though.

4) Will the Same USG OTG cable work which i have for S2 ??
Yes, I bought one a few days ago which was advertised as a S2 OTG cable. Works fine.
MHL and USB OTG cables that worked with the S2 will work with the S3 (I tried OTG when I had hands-on about ten days ago, MHL should work as it is a connection standard).
Apt-X will sound the same as wired up to ~370kbps for stereo sound, I tested that too. Couldn't discern a difference in my brief testing.
Thanks member68 and NZtechfreak. Now i someone can confirm if the USB JIG from S2 will work in S3 would be gr8....
Oh, very annoying - MHL connectors DO NOT in fact work. So much for it being a connection standard, Samsung have made one specifically for the S3... Sorry about the information above, I am very surprised by this turn of events...

aptX is not lossless. There are four types of aptX codec: aptX®, aptX Enhanced®, aptX Live®, and aptX Lossless®. The aptX codec being used in new bluetooth devices is just aptX® which is a lossy codec, not aptX Lossless® as some others think.
aptX® is definitely an improvement over ad2p, but it is not lossless like I mentioned earlier.

With some help of additional apps from market (like Jays Headset Control for instance) will give you the ability to finetune button actions, like triple press for previous track. But you can freely configure single, double, tripple, press'n'hold, double press'n'hold, ... Although it is intended to be used with Jays A-Jays One, I use it with Jays A-Jays Four, and works with stock headset too and also with HTC headsets ... will probably work with any headset maybe. And it's free.

[/COLOR]List for Samsung htc sony (not sony erricson) and nokika lumia headset and headphones that work all three buttons & mic ( they have same headphone control input so the all will work on listed device )
- urbeats (not ibeats)
- htc beats solo (no iPhone verision)
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-001
-Nokia purity had and inear
Interesting. you tried a single type of headset and say that none will work.
fyi: there are more thao 2 headsets on the market.
There are multiple methods to connect those cables. Samsung uses another method as Apple. Neither have invented their particular method and are hardware-wise incompatible.

If i use the headphones which came with my S1 with the S3 the sound is awful! They just seem not to be compatible with the S3.
Can anybody confirm that? Hope it is not a S3-hardware problem...

Wish we can find a fix for this. Also seems the volume buttons on a stereo headset do nothing!!! So as of right now if you want to change tracks or adjust volume while using and Bluetooth or wired stereo headset which has all the buttons on it, you have to pull this device out of your pocket and do it all manually on the device. Which makes my $150 headset useless as of right now. Anyone finding or developing a fix for this?

Not really true: My Sony MW1 BT headset works perfect... I would say the same about all headsets with dedicated buttons. Tried the urBeats for HTC at a store, works without any problems. But you don't have volume control on this one...
Im using the beats Tours and the volume doenst work neither does play/pause, or skip, and i cant use the play/pause/skip button to answer and end calls like i could on my iphone. you would think a phone branded with beats would fully work with beats headphones... update soon hopefully? for this and for sense 4.1 and android 4.2, i cant see why HTC wouldnt want to keep their flagship up to date with the most recent android as long as possible... tho the original HOX is just now getting the 4.1 update while 4.2 is already out for nexus devices

Bro, 4.2 has been out for what, 48hrs? Lol, hold your horses for our update and from the few using it they say its buggy and not as stable or good as JB 4.1. No rush here for a buggy OS.
I think it might be a Sense problem with the headset controls. Weird the other poster said it worked for him and his headset, must have a magical headset? I have these earbuds, http://www.bose.com/controller?url=..._ear_headphones/index.jsp&model=mie2i_headset and only control that works is to pause and play the track, that's it. They have this version of the same earbuds, http://www.bose.com/controller?url=...n_ear_headphones/index.jsp&model=mie2_headset specifically for Android devices so maybe this is why it doesn't fully work for me? Still doesn't seem very likely. Going to get the new Jaybird's for Xmass and they are fully compatible with Android so will find out then if the problem still arises, http://www.bestbuy.com/site/JayBird...p?id=1218813784721&skuId=6917118#tab=overview
