Hi all,
I have just bought by mistake earphones intended for iphone. The jack features connectors for left/right/ground/mic instead of left/right/mic/ground. If you try to plug it in your android smartphone, you will get a message "headphone not recognised".
There is a simple trick to use them anyway if you do not care about the mic function. My earphone features a small pad with three buttons : "+", "o" and "-". If the middle button "o" is kept pressed (eg. with rubber), the earphones will work flawlessly.
Hope it helps!

Hi guys!
My current phone is a Thl W200 and it's got Jelly Bean 4.2.1 and I'm rooted.
My problem is with the headphone button which does not work. Before I had a Sony Xperia J and the headphones that I have used to work with it( the button, when pressed, did various commands such as play/pause/next etc.) but now the button does absolutely nothing when I play a media file.
I've run a few tests and I found out that my smartphone has CTIA standard (just like the Xperia J) and my headphones are compatible so there's no problem there. I also tried with a CTIA to OMTP cable to see if it works and nothing, the button doesn't control the music player.
One strange thing that I noticed is that if I get a phone call and I press the headphone button the call is answered, so it must work, somehow; Plus if I keep the button pressed the screen is locked and unlocked.
So my question is, if anyone knows, what can I do in order to use that little headphone button in order to control the music player?
P.S- I've also tried a few apps such as button controller, philips headset manager etc but they didn't work, the click was not registered.
Oh and another thing, I installed the key test app and when I pressed the headphone button the app didin't register any keys being pressed.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
A very awesome and cheap branded headset in a market SONY SBH20 i recently purchased this headset from ebay worth ₹2400 INR
the main perpous of buying a bluetooth headset like this is ,this phone is big in size to wile keeping it inside your pocket plugin ur wired headset is not comfortable like the supper side is always out or else u cant fold your legs bec the jack on the top gets damaged or the phone inside jack or wire could be break and the wire of course its nt easy to handle
so here is a headset without wire where u can take a feel of wired headset sound awesome sound quality battery life
the features of this devices are...
Audio Songs Streaming
Phone cells receive button
hangup button next previous pause play button
Redial button**
led notification
Charging time is very less
battery runs longer
click image "shutter button" using play pause button wirelessly **
Star Marked ** Features or keys only works after some small tweak reroute keys Go To My Blog
This tweak can work with any Bluetooth headset having playpause next previous button..
Hey, what's everyone using for headphones/earphones that are fully compatible with the Z2? I have the stock Samsungs, only the volume buttons work for volume - but the stop/start button doesn't work as intended, as well as not letting you skip tracks or go to the previous track (double or triple press).
I'm looking to buy a set that works.
I've heard the Xiaomi works fully on updated devices (running 5.0.2) and also maybe the Apple ones?
Cheers
I am currently looking for new ones too.
I can state that the Jays Five for Android worked just fine with my Z2. Unfortunately i broke them.
The Nocs NS500 have the same problem with the middle button
On my Klipsch S4i (Apple), the middle button and sound work, but not the upper and bottom buttons.
maybe buy SHB20 and use them with any good IEMs? i dont know how the sound quality is affected but i'm planning to do the same with my z2.
Can cinfirm, Xiaomi pistons work. ?
Hello guyz !
Today I have a question related both on software and hardware.
I have found limited edition headphones for some cyon phone (korea).
They are shiny red, have old multi (21pin) connector plug but I checked that they only use 4 wires.
I got 7 buttons (PREV, NEXT, PLAY/PAUSE, STOP, CALL/END, VOL+, VOL-), microphone and also TRS jack on top.
I've connected only theadphones (short cable ended with TRS jack) to my phone and they sound fantastic.
The question is can I get all of this buttons working or most of them ?
I know how to get vol+, vol- and call buttons, just need to change resistors values but I want more.
Most devices uses only 3 buttons with volume or next/prev track + call.
I've found this but here
HTML:
https://source.android.com/devices/accessories/headset/specification.html
are only 4 buttons.
Is it controlled only by hardware (resistors gives specific voltage) or it can be programmed via software ?
The Samsung Galaxy S21 got rid of the phone jack from previous models and now has only a USB-C connection. I bought a USB-C-to-phonejack converter so I could use the headphones I had from my S7 phone. It works when I am using the headphones to listen to music or watch videos. By "works" I mean not only do I hear sound through them, but I can control the volume either using the phones controls or the built-in controls on the headphones. EXCEPT! Except when on a phone call. When I use the headphones when using the phone, the volume control does nothing. Neither the controls on the phone itself, or the controls on the headphones. I end up deafened because the volume is at max and can't be turned down. Again, this is only while speaking on the phone; other apps let me use the volume controls.
Any ideas on ways to fix this?
Thank you,
S.

I can't guarantee that this will work. But often what seems obvious to me is something other people miss completely. (And the other way around too.)
When you press the volume down or up rocker on the phone, have you noticed the three horizontal dots at the top of the onscreen volume indicator? If you tap on that 3-dot menu, multiple vertical volume indicators appear. I haven't tested with a USB-C audio jack dongle but I am betting that if you have the dongle plugged in (regardless of whether the earphones are plugged into the dongle), one of those vertical volume sliders will be specifically for the dongle/USB-C output.
Give this a try and let us know if this works. If it does, I realize this might be annoying to do every time. But maybe then you can find a utility in the Play store that allows you to set individual volume levels.
Good luck.
P.S. I fully understand if you prefer the wired earphones. But I can tell you that when I use bluetooth earphones of various kinds, simply pressing the volume rocker does reduce/increase phone call volume.

Thank you. I never really noticed those dots in the volume control; just ignored them all this time! I pressed them and see the extra options. I haven't tried the USB-C dongle yet... I just packed it away for a trip this week. I'll keep it in mind though and try it as soon as I unpack.
