Looking for ear buds with mic and remote for the phone. Any suggestions? I would like to get something like v-moda remix but they only work with iphones.

They do work on the Vibrant. As will any of the four pin headphones for the iPhone.
Ya I just bought the Klipsch Image S4i and they do not work on the vibrant... Im pretty sure a software workaround can work... I wouldn't know how to do it though... Any chance someone can write up some quick code for this?

The G1 had the same problem when it came out. It turned out to be software related.
The Vibrant is designed to work with any four pin headset. Alternatively you can get an adapter from Samsung that goes from the four pin plug on the phone to an in-line volume control/microphone with a three pin port on it.http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EMC40AONMEBSTD
Is there a link available for this software fix?
The volume controls and the fast forward and rewind would only be able to work with a software workaround. As far as listening to music goes, it tuns out Samsung switched the ground and microphone pins AND the laft and right pins. And because of that I have to hold down the mic button to be able to listen to music and still it would be backwards. Im going to either make a 4pin female-4 pin male adaptor or open up the S4i remote (really easy) and switch them around in there.

The software fix is the android 2.2 (Froyo) update. It hasn't been released yet but should be available in the next couple weeks.
Zaggs Smartbuds, they work with mixzing and the new powerAmp.

Sorry if this is an old post, but I just wanted to know if the controls on the V moda Remix Remote really work with the vibrant or is it just one of the buttons for answering calls? I am planning on buying the headphones. I would also like to know if the mic is compatible as well. Thanks in advance

I'm also looking for a set of wired ear buds with an inline microphone. I'm running Macnut R12 and was at yodabashi camera this weekend, none of the iphone headphones with microphones would work (Sony, Sennheiser, etc). :-(
Meridian is the answer.
What I've found is that any headphones with an answer call button works but I prefer using Meridian with my earbuds because if you go into the options and select "use headset buttons" you can get play/pause, skip and previous functions all from that one button by quickly double pressing for skip, pressing once then waiting a second before pressing again for previous and one press for play/pause. Works flawlessly with me and you don't have to worry about getting headphones with all 3 buttons since 1 button gets the job done.
Hey do you know if there is a way of backing up a playlist and saving it on the SD card or computer? I hate going through and making a new playlist everytime I flash a new rom or something. Thanks man......and I use Meridian because of you. I ride a motorcycle everyday to work listening to music now. It's so easy to move between tracks with the Mic button. Thanks again.

Can anyone else confirm this? I can't get it to work. They will allow me to pause/play only in Fedes Music app alpha v4 however, so clearly the headphones can't be broken. Is there some setting I need to switch on that I am missing?
My SG2 is brand new and unrooted.

Holding will not skip track for me, however if you got villainrom and tweaks, a doubleklick will do it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
The double clicking works for me every now and then. I'm trying to understand the error myself, it's as if you have to get the timing right, but that sucks if that's the case.
I hope more people experiment and reply back to this thread, double clicking only works occasionally but not when I most need it (jogging) grrr.
Double and triple click also works with poweramp. The headset adapter that I bought for NS SGS doesn't works with my SGS2. Looks like they've changed the connectors for mic and stereo oder something like that. I only get a good sound when I push the play/pause Button in the headset adapter.

Its true, I found the headset supplied with the SGS2 to function like this - somewhat. The recognition of your various clicks is not very reliable though... There's a high chance it'll do something other than what you wanted.
And any other Samsung headsets from older models will not work at all.
my i8910 headset doesn't work at all...
Hi
Are there any headphones / earphones which have a remote control for music control. There are loads of them for the iPhone, but any of them that is compatible with the SGS2?

I'm using "Headset Button Controller" to control a pair of iPhone headphones.
It only works with the center button, but it supports single/double/triple key presses. So it controls: start/stop, and advance to the next song, as well and answer/disconnect incoming calls.
If u r looking for bluetooth ones, just make sure they support AVRCP.
If u r looking for wired ones, most of those vol+/- buttons won't work, but yes, still are compatible.

Posted this on the other thread. Might be of interest to you:
I have a pair of Beats by Dre with Control Talk (for iphone/ipod) and the functionality is the same. The play/pause button works but the vol up/down buttons don't.
Also, I have a pair of Shure 215. They are more bass-prominent than "signature Shure" sound but they don't muffle mids and highs like the Beats do. Anyway, I found these from Earphonesolutions after I got a SGS2.
SHURE SE215A ANDROID & BLACKBERRY COMPATIBLE EARPHONES
(not letting me post a link due to my low post count)
The description says works with "most Android phones" so I guess they're not guaranteeing anything. Too bad I got a pair of those without the buttons before I got the phone. But I thought it might interest some people.
HTC headphone are working great (with all buttons).You can find them anywhere on the internet..
STIL...if i remember well,they are fully working with certain kernels.
Ițm using Nimphetaminețs kernels
I use the Zagg Smartbuds witch works great.
I have a set of the bose ear bud headphones that worked unbelievably on my HTC HD2's and the answer button worked too. with the sII, nothing buttons work and the volume is pretty low.
could an app fix that?
Hey, found this piece of gadgetry - Etynomic MC2. Looks promising, any ideas from anyone about how these are. Apparently they have an Android remote.

I've had the old school Etymotics back in the past, they were great sounding, especially in the high end and mids. However, Etymotics are known to skim on the low end, so if you are a bass thumper, I would avoid unless you can tune the EQ like in Poweramp.
Not sure about the remote working with Android, I've had good customer experience with them, so I think what is listed on their site is true. Though I would email them beforehand to make sure.
Sorry double posting
I am using SE MW600, it can skip to the previous or next track, play and pause, show you the song title, and also show you the phone no of the incoming or outgoing call. The sound quality is good. you should try it out.
I heard Klipsch S4i works well .. I dont have so I cant confirm just browse through the forum you will get it
using a headset to control music has been a huge thing for me and I've been doing a lot of research to figure out what
works.
Results are, and most iPhone headphones with remote and mic in line don't natively work but you can make them work with android.
In ther play store there's a few apps the ones I've tried are remote control for headphones (icon is a pair of white iPhone headphones) this basically allows you to map the button presses to skip to next track and previous etc
This app works perfectly with stock player. However I use power amp and that natively works with the earphones. I have just received my Sony earphones with iPhone remote and works perfectly.
For quick settings in notification I use toggle panel. Also widgetsoid is good
I posted this in the general forum but it was supposed to be here sorry

I tried that but this phone and almost all newer phones use the same 3.5mm Jack but it has an extra black contact on it that tells the phone that it is a headset and not just a pair of headphones.
What I am going to do though is get a 3.5mm audio extension cable that had the 3black contacts (4 prong ) and connect my Nokia headset to see if I can get them to work too

does that mean that i need to do a TRRS replacement??
The advice given on the link is that all you have to do is swap the connections on rings 3 & 4, here is that advice elaborated a bit more by me.
What you have to do is goto an electronic components shop, buy a 4 pin 3.5mm plug, cut off the original plug and find out which wire goes to which ring, re connect the 2 wires closest to the tip the Same as original, for the other 2 rings swap the connections over. Ring 1 is the one on the tip.
I have not done this myself, but the bases behind it to me is logical, maybe if you want to do a Google search before cutting up a good headset to confirm this idea.

In my opinion that's just more hassle than its worth and I'm very good with soldering in fact I've repaired my old earphones 3 times replacing parts.
But for getting them to work here the app or power amp or winamp will do fine
In regards to the volume buttons they cant be mapped to work unless you do what's said in the link.
For me pressing the volume buttons on my HTC one can is no big deal as its usually in my jacket breast pocket so easy to press volume button.
You can set the volume to change with the button mapping app to notice that 4 button presses will go volume up and 5 will go down

You mean like any bluetooth stereo headphones? I'm pretty certain no wired headset will do this because the headphone jack doesn't support it.
There are quite a few standalone bluetooth stereo receivers around that you can plug generic headphones or a stereo line-out into though. I prefer the Jabra BT-3030 'dogtag' receivers, but there are plenty of others around. Just do a search on Froogle, Buy.com or any other big electronics site and you'll find them. The only real difference between them all is battery life and sound quality, they all have media player controls using standard Bluetooth profiles and they all include a condenser mic built-in.
No, I was talking about a button on the wired headphone, like the Galaxy S, to skip track, answer call, those sort of things.
From what LG answered me, it's not possible...
Downer there :|
Finaly found a spare pair of headphones from a Galaxy, with the button for the media controller.
Turns out, it works!
Long press opens voice control,
short press starts media player
two short press skips the track when playing.
There must be a standard for Android, I'll try to find the list tomorow and test it out, but anyway, good thing it works.
Anyway, good things it works! I'm running a lot, long distance, and it'll screw up any bluetooth, even S-10 (my current pair had some issue but cleaned up after drying in rice), so the good ol' button hearphones with the media controller is the best for me!
I've ordered a "seperate" microphone with a button and the input, I'll test and let you know!
I just bought some a-JAYS One+ for about 60$ The remote works with the Optimus G and most android phones.
The remote lets you:
Skip tracks
FF / Rwind
Play / Pause
Volume up / Down
Pick up calls
The sound quality is actually very good especially for bass junkies like myself. Not to mention the sleek swedish design.
I absolutely recommend them to anyone out there.

it is not a Android feature, it is just the the extra rim on the 3.5 headphone minijack that adds controls to it. and Android have adapted it. like micro USB for charging and connecting.

Well, I tried with my old Nokia N95 headset which has play, forward, volume, etc. And it did not work as expected, some buttons work as a single button headset. Also bought a Samsung headset (could not find LG headsets) with a button and volume control and the volume control does not work, the volume up key replicates the button.
So it is not that standard.
Or is there an app to activate the volume and multimedia buttons on those headsets?

Try out HeadsetDroid for customization of the headset buttons. Works like a charm for me, well worth the couple of dollars.
