CONNECTEDwear™ for Android, headphone remote controller

Hi all,
A little over a year ago I finished the first part of my project: Making a (snowboard) jacket with integrated Keypad and headphones/mic.
I found this really cool company that already made products for wearable controller: www.fibretronic.com . (I am not related to this company in any way)
I bought the Keypad Sample Kit and the BTM Module (Bluetooth Module), opened my new jacket from the inside and stitched in the keypad under the sleeve. Made a design for the controls, cut it out from an adhesive piece of cloth and put it on the sleeve on the keypad. (check the pictures)
(This is the really short version, if you're interested I'll make an extended howto on instructables.com)

I finally paired the Bluetooth module with my phone (back then a SE Aino, now a HTC Desire HD), tested the controls <which work as they should> and went out snowboarding with some nice tunes.
After snowboarding I had to recharge the Bluetooth module and the phone.
That's that, now I want something cheaper and easier to use. In other words something without Bluetooth.
I then went back to the Fibretronic and noticed that they have lots of "Made For iPod/iPhone". As was the IPLX Controller (vol, prev/next, play/pause/call) that I bought, works with a standard 4-pin 3,5mm Jack.
I knew that it is iPod/iPhone compatible but didn't realize that it compatibility would be Apple exclusive...
I've recently acquired a HTC Desire HD whom also has a remote controller headset with a 4-pin 3,5mm jack. I thought it would work... Well, as expected from Apple, nothing will work that's "Made For iPod". I really h8 that fruity company.
I started looking for a solution and I found nothing. Only one option remains: writing an app that records the received signal, saves/registers it and links it to a certain function to be chosen by the user.
THIS APP WOULD MAKE ALL IPOD/IPHONE HEADSET REMOTE CONTROLLERS COMPATIBLE WITH ANDROID!
A couple things I noticed with the things that DO work with the IPLX module:
PLAY/PAUSE works
Triple click on the play button makes a call/ends call
Vol up/down doesn't work
prev track button makes a call, holding the button will call and hang up straight away
next track button makes a call, holding the button will call and hang up straight away
I'm not experienced in coding, so I'm seeking some wise council here on XDA:
- How can I find out how these controls work?
- How to make Android recognize the signals?
- How to make an app for this?
Any advice and ideas are welcome.
I'm going snowboarding by the start of February, so I'm hoping to have this working by then.

Is there anyone that can help me with this issue please?

free bump to a problem MANY of us want solved I think. (even with something as cheap as http://earheadphones.homepage.ph/20...blk-ex-earbud-with-ipod-remote-control-black/ that)

I am also interested in seeing this move. Are there any XDA pro's out there who can provide some insight, work-arounds etc?
I have the Klipsch S4i headphones and I LOVE them. They've got the iPod controller in the headphone wire. It's a 3-button controller. This worked on my Captivate out of the box (center button for play/pause but no volume control) but since I've installed Andromeda3 it no longer works.
Seems to me that there should be a way to interpret the signal sent through the standard 3.5" plug but would require a higher level of skill than I have.
Cool implementation of the bt controls Aythamie.

Hello,
I know this post is hold but I don't know if you solved it. If yes, please share the answer. If not, maybe this will work:
https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.chobirich.tools.mediabutton&hl=en
It's a free app that allow a apple earphone with mic and remote to be use on android. Maybe the same code are used with yoursT

Thanks A Lot,
This app has been on hold for a long time.
Going to have a look at it.

I HAVE THE SAME oneS! please find a haX or an app !

adhesive fabric
Aythamie, I'm trying to put the connectedwear keypad to the inside of my jacket. I don't want to sew it because it will break the waterproof seal of the fabric. I'm having trouble finding glue that will stick to the silicone keypad. Also, what is "adhesive fabric"? How did you make those slick button icons? I can't use iron-on paper because the jacket is made of 100% polyester and putting a hot iron to it will ruin it. Thanks for your help.

PCB that translates connectedwear events
In the spirit of "better late than never" -- my solution is a custom PCB that sits between the phone and connectedwear. It translates connectedwear events into USB keyboard multimedia key events. Android eats these just fine. I cannot post outside links because this is a new account, so go to wpd.home.xs4all.nl/wearlink/ for more information.
Hope this helps some other poor soul out there.

I know this post is old, but does anyone know where I can get my hands on a connected-wear IP30 module? I have a surfanic ski jacket that came with the fibretronic system built in that enabled me to connect my ipod. Unfortunately the buttons have stopped working and I would like to replace the IP30 module to see if that's the problem.

The Fibertronic website doesn't work anymore. Neither does their Connected Wear link. That might be why you can't find any of their products anymore. Maybe the company folded or they are running under a new name I'm not aware of. That kinda sucks cause I love my jacket. Just have to solder a new 3.5mm end on the wire from the keypad I put in the jacket since the one that comes with it is flimsy enough to tear.

How to make your earphones last longer

Over the past few years I've went through a few pairs of earphones.
One pair I lost the others broke.
They never lasted me more than 6 months before problems started to come forth.
Making them last longer means taking care of your earphones. They are fragile.
1stly check this link of how to take care of them.
Now I've found that every time my earphones break they usually break right at the jack because the cable bends alot there.
So one of my friends showed me this nifty trick to ease the bend of the cable
Just get a cheap click pen and remove the spring preferable one that looks like this

}
then take the cable of your earphones and insert it like this
wind the spring around the cable bit by bit
and slide it to were the cable joins the jack and let the end of the spring stretch over the rubber so it is secured on
Sofar my earphones have not yet given me any problems with this method.
Always be consiouse of your cabel at your jack make sure it never bends sharply.
Try not to put your device in your pocket when listening to music as your device moves around and bends the cable on the jack.
As I said that is were my earphones usually broke.
I Hope this helps you guys alot and may you have sweet sound to your ears werever you may roam.

I feel like it would annoy me tho, and I always just end up losing them instead of breaking them haha

I just wrap mine around my mp3 player everyday after my workout and have never had a problem, though mine have a 90 degree connector instead of the straight connection like yours.

I will try that.

But how often do you use your earphones? I mean I use mine everyday the whole day.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

As I said, daily during my workout as well as well as always when working in the yard as they block external sound very well and keep the work from getting boring. Again, I have the feeling that a major part of the issue is having a straight in jack instead of an angled connector. The point of your mod is to keep stress off of the connection points within the housing, which an angled jack will experience a lot less of.

All good and well its just the earphones I have don't come with angled jjack and my port on ny phone is ontop. But you are one of the lucky few with strong earphones. Look after those earohones man

or buy earphones with a removable cable. I baby all my stuff, and the weak strain reliefs on my Klipsch S4i's split after a year of every day use, so I repaired them (and gave them to my son). My Shure's have a removable cable, so never going to be an issue there.
This is a good tip, though, may save some people's earphones. Most important part is to limit stress on all joints of the cable by minimizing bending them there.

Here in South Africa we don't have a big variety of decent earphones. Skullcandy is like the best we can get here as far as I know and I use in ear earphones but I want some Aviators wich also has the replaceable cable. That's like the only headphones I've seen here with replaceable cables. But I'm broke at the moment lol...

good tip! Thanks!

Theres another 'extendor' you can add to make earphones last longer
I've purchased one of these 'extendors' have a coiled cable
the one i bought from ebay was under the title '4pole 3.5mm 3ring M-F Right angle iPhone extension cable coiled line 0.3-1.6ft '
Here's an image http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/ODAwWDgwMA==/z/hL8AAOxygj5ScyAv/$(KGrHqF,!lkFJvT2IRdEBScy!ug!1g~~60_57.JPG
These ones have 4 poles that allow for play/pause buttons on earphones and their right angled so they fit many phones better.
The coils help minimize impact to the earphones by minimizing tension forces on the earphones and placing them on the coiled part.

Review of 3.5mm replacement cable w/remote+mic for Samsung and HTC w/lots of pics!!!

This is a Review of 3.5mm male to male audio replacement cable with in-line remote/mic for Samsung and HTC phones. http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=3373
When you are dealing with higher quality headphones, such as V-Moda, Beyerdynamic, AKG, Shure, Beats, SMS by 50, Sennheiser, and some others, these typically come with replaceable 3.5mm male to male cables. Audio cable is the weakest link of headphone construction that will break after awhile, and being able to replace it extends the lifetime of your cans. All of the mentioned above headphones comes with a variety of cables, including an option for the one with in-line remote and mic so you can control your smartphone and take calls. Typically that inline remote is labeled for iDevice use, but the multifunction button usually works with a lot of Android devices to play/pause/call, double/triple click to skip songs, and long press to activate Google Now. If volume control buttons are included with a remote, those are ONLY for iDevices. There is no easy way around it because iPhone and Android device controls are different.
I was on a mission to find replacement UE900 cables with in-line remote and volume buttons for my Galaxy Note 2, and noticed that lunashops.com also has 3.5mm male to male audio replacement cable which supposed to work with Samsung and HTC phones. So I decided to give it a shot. Didn't realize it's going to be a gold find! Although cable is flat and often these are flimsy, this one actually has a thicker shielding and feels more durable. 3.5mm connectors are gold plated and the plug itself is about 3-4mm bigger in diameter than a connector - it is small enough to fit with any phone case and any tight headphone opening. I even tried it with Beyerdynamic COP which has a sliding lock on their original headphone cable, and this one was small enough to fit in.
Since I have Galaxy Note 2, I only was able to test and to verify it with my phone. Multifunction button is located in the middle of the remote and it's a little more recessed than volume up/down buttons so its easier to locate it. Plus, its has a round shape in comparison to volume up/down having arrow shape positioned appropriately when plugged into your headset with up-arrow turning volume up and down-arrow turning volume down. All this is very useful because remote will be positioned closer to your head so it's mic picks up the voice better, and you will have to feel rather than see buttons to control your phone. Multi-function button worked perfectly to play/stop/call and double/triple click for transport control, as well as long press for Google Now. Calls were crystal clear on both sides. Volume control works perfectly too.
Overall, this is a MUST HAVE for anybody with Galaxy or HTC smartphones who want to be able to get full in-line remote with mic AND volume up/down controls. For $6 shipped its a bargain, and probably a good idea to get a few as spares or for your different headsets.
Here are the pictures.

I've learnt that you shouldn't mention 'Beats' and 'high quality' in the same sentence. Head-Fi be scary.
This looks like a nice buy. I especially like the fact that it's a straight to straight cable, so it'll fit into my Note 2's aluminium bumper case. I'm not sure about those hard plastic black sleeves that are on the end of either plug though. I recognise them - they are commonly seen on very cheap knockoff Beats headphones that have a detachable cable. I've found that it makes the plug just too thick to plug in, but are removable. Removing them, though, reveals a rather ugly rubber plug casing.

I might have to pick this cable up. Looks really cool

@vectron : I'm searching high and low for a coiled cable with slim end plugs like these have, any thoughts? Reason: has to plug into a set of monster NPulse headphones and the input is tiny.
T0LTE CANADA • SLIM RC1 • AGNI PureCM • ROGERS

Maybe these will work? They look slim from a picture. Coiled cable are very rare and no longer as popular. I checked, and even lunashop doesn't carry it.

It should be, this is android specific in-line remote. Multi-function button is universal, will even work with apple and every android device. The key here is volume control. Android control/wiring is different from apple, and this specific one works with android. Don't expect a sound quality improvement, it will be the same as a sound of your stock cable, but you will gain full android control

Thanks
The headphone a have only comes with a plug for iOS (like all headphones ) But i've been looking for a way to control audio with android.

Do the volume control buttons work while connected to the FiiO e18 while in DAC mode? That would be great! I heard that control buttons didn't work over usb audio on android earlier.

Sorry, they don't work. E18 interrupts the control signal.

AWESOME
I have ben looking for such a cable for ages!
Quick question:
How is the in call quality of the microphone?

Sorry to dig up a dead thread, but I would love to know about the call quality too. Does anyone know? I would like to use them with Bose SoundLink headphones and a Nexus 6!

They're out of stock.
Is there any where else I can buy one?

Review of Bolse 12W Smart NFC Bluetooth wireless speaker w/lots of pics!!!

This is a review of Bolse 12W Smart NFC Bluetooth wireless speaker. http://mybolse.com/product/detail_B00L4IDA04.html - the speaker is already available on Amazon UK, and soon will be available on Amazon US: http://www.amazon.com/Portable-Bluetooth-Speaker-Function-Playtime/dp/B00L4IDA04/
I have reviewed a lot of wireless speakers, and have been impressed with either their design, or sound quality, or controls, or compact form factor. I can always find something positive and negative about each one, but never have I came across a speaker where I can't even think of one negative comment. But all this changed when I received a review sample of the new Bolse 12W wireless speaker. I'm not hyping it up, but honestly telling you that Bolse came up with a perfect combination of every feature you can think of to include in a portable wireless speaker. And to top it off, they still were able to keep it's pricing under $50. Here is what I found.
The speaker arrived in a nice compact package with a clear description of it's VERY impressive spec. With dimensions of about 7"x3"x2" it looked very compact and easy to handle with one hand, but once you pick it up you do realize a nice 15oz weight to it. This extra weight comes from two quality 6W 40mm drivers packed inside of this little monster. Drivers of such caliber are typically found in over-the-ear headphones. Closer examination of BTS-12 revealed a plastic frame surrounded by front and rear metal mesh grills. Both 40mm drivers are front facing, and rear panel has a bass port functionality. The bottom of the speaker has 4 rubber feet for a non-slip grip with a surface. All the controls are located at the top, and all the ports on the back at the top. Among included accessories there was usb to micro-usb cable, 3.5mm male to male audio cable, a nice velor drawstring storage pouch, and a detailed instruction manual.
Starting with ports on the back, you actually get a physical on/off switch which is very refreshing to see when so many other companies cramp up controls under multi-function buttons. Here, you know for sure when speaker is on and when it off. Another great thing, once you turn it on - there is no annoying guidance voice. Next to the power switch is a standard micro-usb charging port. And speaking of charging, this speaker has a whooping 2000 mAh battery that enables up to 15 hours of playback!!! To use this speaker with non-Bluetooth devices, you have Line In port which you can use with included audio cable. If that wasn't enough, Line OUT port is right next to it which allows daisy chaining of this speaker to another wired or wireless speaker or connecting headphones. One thing you have to realize, this Line OUT port can turn ANY other connected speaker into a wireless speaker. You can consider that as a bonus feature!
The control buttons on the top are equally impressive with touch controls. These are not physical buttons, but a backlit touch buttons, each one assigned to a specific functionality except for a lock button. You get a separate touch button to pick up a call, a dedicated volume up/down buttons, a play/pause button, and skip next/prev buttons. Long press of skip prev locks touch controls so you don't bump them accidentally, and double tap releases the lock. So many other speakers include just a volume up/down and phone control, and that becomes very inconvenient because you have to go back to your phone to play/pause or to skip the track. Here, you have a full remote control of the playback. Also when you receive a call, you can use BTS-12 as a speakerphone.
When it comes to a wireless connection, you have two ways to pair it up with your phone or tablet. Either using direct Bluetooth pair up or NFC area on the speaker (labeled with an icon on the top) worked flawlessly to pair up with my Note 2. Once paired up, it gets connected to both phone and media audio so you can enjoy the sound from this powerhouse speaker 20-25ft away from your phone or tablet. I'm sure you all are curious how does it sounds. Thanks to a total of 12W of combined power between each speaker, it filled up our big family room and I was still able to hear the music 2 rooms down the hall. I actually found the music to be more enjoyable and clear once you take a few steps away from the speaker. That's where you appreciate a clear detailed sound with a punchy bass. As expected from such drivers, the bass didn't have powerful enough sub-bass extension, but I still heard a nice bass punch and a warm deeper layer to make music sound full and enjoyable.
Overall, I was VERY impressed with Bolse BTS-12 speaker and think it represents one of the best values currently available on the market. Everything from touch control panel with a complete playback, volume, and phone controls, the convenient of BT and NFC pair up, an impressive 2000 mAh battery which supports 15hrs of playback to physical on/off switch and both Line In and Out, and being able to keep all this under $50 - this speaker definitely gets my high recommendation!!!

It's among the best I tested. Heard Amazon US will have about 30 units for sale toward the end of this week, and more coming next month.

Hi Vectron. Would you suggest me buying this one or the UE Boom Mini, which costs just 10$ more?
I think this one would be louder and has bluetooth 4.0 and 4''driver.
The UeE has 1,2'' drivers and bluetooth 2.1

This Bolse 12W bluetooth speaker use to be thelove of my life!?
Now she dont work no more?
Only had it a year and I plug it in to charge and eveyrthing seems ok
but then when I try to pair it nothing. Not even any signs of life.
Do you think the battery has died? I cant even see how to open it
up without wrecking the nice steel gauze speaker covers?
Maybe that way Id be able to see if something has come loose?
Anyway would appreciate feedback, let me know if you or anyone else for that matter has experienced same or similar problems and has solutions?
Cheers and thanks in advance

HTC One X Earphone Jack Not Working

Hi all, my earphone jack hasn't been working offlate. At times, when turning the earphones clock wise when inserted I received audio in one ear momentarilly, now everything's stopped. Tried multiple earphones and headphones, no audio! In face the phone doesn't even detect the earphones. As this sounds more of a hardware issue, just wanted to check whether it's an easy fix, that is getting a spare or repairing the existing one.
Thanks,
Jude

Thanks for getting back to me, well, I did try the app and I do get audio, but on just one side, when I twist and turn the earphones, I get audio in the other ear and then in both, but only after fiddling around with the jack, so it's not dead, but it's not perfect either!
Any conclusions basis this feedback?

Thanks for getting back to me, well, I did try the app and I do get audio, but on just one side, when I twist and turn the earphones, I get audio in the other ear and then in both, but only after fiddling around with the jack, so it's not dead, but it's not perfect either!
Any conclusions basis this feedback?
Thanks,
Jude

One of the pins inside the audio jack is either retarded so it wont make contact with the 3.5mm plug.
Or the pins has collected residue on them from wear and tear. You can try spraying a solution inside the headphone jack.
First take the phone apart. Remove the back and expose the headphone jack like in the picture above. This is to prevent the liquids spreading inside the phone and causing a fatal shortening to the phone. Making it unable to work again.
You could try to clean the headphone jack with Electric cleaner. Spray it in the hole and let it dry.
Like: "CRC Industries QD - Electronic Cleaner" or "WD-40 Specialist Electrical Contact Cleaner".
If you don't have this in a store nearby you can carefully dab some Isopropyl alcohol on a q-tip that will fit inside the hole. If you don't have a small enough q-tip use a precision tool and scrape the pins a little. Let the alcohol evaporate for 1 hour or so before you turn on the phone to prevent any shorts.
