While shopping for headsets this afternoon, I found myself chatting with one of the sales in an audio shop for a while. Described the problem to him, how any earphones with an inline mic automatically sound "radio-y" unless the button is pressed down. Immediately he pulled out a plug and told me it's because manufacturers might have switched the positives and negatives, and that this plug can "switch" it back. He sold it to me for around US$4 (Might have been ripped off, but I was too happy to have found a solution to care).
Tested with (my brand new shiny) Skull Candy Full Metal Jacket. Button works in answering calls and mic seems to work as well. Weirdly, mic only works in native call, but not skype calls. (Still need more testing on that) Only play/pause is supported in DoubleTwist (not tested on other audio players), and next/previous tracks don't seem to work. Combo was probably recognized (otherwise music would have stopped, I'd imagine), I guess that's software problem now.
Yeah, I know I'm not saying much helpful here, but that might be something that you would want to look for. "switching positives and negatives". Not sure what that means myself, but meh, it works!

Thanks

I work from home as an Executive Recruiter. I am on the phone literally 10 hours a day non-stop. I tend to pace around while I work so I need a headset that provides me mobility. I also like the sound coming into both ears in stereo as it sounds more natural.
I hate how most BT headsets hook onto your ear or shove an earpiece in your ear. After 10 hours of that your ears can get pretty sore. Last (and most important point) I MUST have a boom mic. My clients don't want me to sound like I am talking on speaker phone or from the bottom of a well. If my voice sounds digitized and robotic, I am not able to connect with the customer because there is no warmth to my voice.
Anyway, all that being said, I saw this:

and it was on sale for $29.99 and has 12 hour talk time. For that price, had to pull the trigger. Hope I won't be disappointed.
P.S. And no, I won't be wearing this walking down the street - lol - for home office use only.

i've been searching until i have final come across a peaker dock for the x10 on ebay
here is the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Dock-Speaker...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item230f93d21d
Well, its a speaker dock for sure. But its not strickly for the X10 or X8.
That is a universal dock that is being sold as an X10 Dock. I have seen several of them in discount stores and they have all been labeled different.
Blackberry / HTC / Samsung.
Reason being is that almost all the newer smartphones have a 3.5mm Headphone jack now and all it takes is a slot big enough to accomadate most any phone and you can call it what you want for whatever phone ya like.
PS:
I can't comment on sound quality as I have never seen one hooked up to anything and I sure it will work quite well with your phone. I was just giving a heads up
That looks like a fairly low quality solution.. you'd be better off getting a generic iPod dock - most of them are now compatible with headphone style input now.. here's my home one in use with my sexy new Arc !!! I also have a portable one.. Gear 4 Street party revolve.. for holidaying etc.. works with my phone and my kids ipods..

So, I love this phone and hate it at the same time.
First off, just at random, the BT, Wi-Fi or GPS will just turn off. Has not happened for a couple days, nothing has really changed.
Now the big issues. These are driving me nuts....
I have a Pyle PLDN74BTi (don't laugh, it was dirt cheap) and it supports Bluetooth audio and tagging and speakerphone from a BT phone. All the features work except the tagging. I cannot get BT to display the audio info or the phone info.
Second, I just bought an iBolt xProDockX. When I dock it, the phone recognizes its docked, but it will not open the doc app upon dock. I look in the default apps, and the dock isn't even listed. I purchased Car Home Ultra and it wont auto open, I even install the dock&drive app from iBolt and it wont auto open upon docking either.
Anyone else having these stupid issues with their phone? I have cleared all the apps, and I have restarted the phone. No Dice.
You posted this in the S3 forum, not the Note 3... I doubt you will get any help here

****! Sorry. I don't know what happened.
When I first started playing music on this speaker the volume was all the way up and I was blown away by how much sound could come out of such a small speaker... and without noticeable distortion. Half volume is comfortable quiet room level for me, so it has lots of room to increase the volume for parties and other loud environments.
Pairing was simple and worked on the first try. It's been a while since I last used anything with bluetooth audio and it seems that in that time audio quality has significantly improved. It also has a line in jack for using it without bluetooth.
The battery lasts a long time. I used it for a full 8 hour day and it still had more to go (they advertise 10-12 hours). In addition, it can also be used while plugged in.
It's fairly lightweight and compact, especially for the amount of sound it puts out and battery life.
You can find it on amazon by searching for "blitzwolf bluetooth speakers"
Full Disclosure: I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review.
Here are some pictures I forgot to include in the original post:

My S20+ has had this problem almost as long as I've had my vehicle (with Ford sync 3). For whatever reason, if I take an incoming call on Bluetooth, about 80% of the time, there is no audio - I can't hear them and they can't hear me.
To troubleshoot I have to switch to speaker, then we can both hear each other.
If I'm on Android auto (wired), I have to unplug, then hit speaker.
My wife's Galaxy S21 ultra never does this.
It never happens on outgoing calls.
It seems equally likely to happen whether I'm using the phone for Bluetooth media (podcast app, separate music app both seem equally likely) or not using it for audio at all (i.e. Just listening to the radio)
It seems equally likely to happen whether I'm on Android auto (wired) or just connected to Bluetooth the old school way.
The only commonality is that it's on incoming calls on Bluetooth. I've been unable to identify what factor is different on those rare occasions when it does work
Twice I've tried completely unpairing and starting fresh. That seems to work, temporarily. But eventually it goes back to its old ways, so this is not a solution.
Are there a few developer options I may want to try checking on or off to see if they'll help? I don't want to go messing with that stuff unless it's recommended by someone here. Any other ideas?
