I have a pair of Nokia WH-701 headphones
nokia.co.in/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/headsets/wired-headsets/nokia-stereo-headset-wh-701
(removed "www" so that this would be a valid noob post and no this isn't spam )
And the buttons(volume,call,play/pause etc) on these headphones don't work on my GT-I5800..Is there any way(maybe an app?) to make them work with our phone???
Is this an issue only with these particular headphones or is this the same for all headphones?If it is so then it would be of great help if our devs could cook up an app to make these compatible with our phone
Thanks in advance
P.S.: This is my First post so please forgive me if its in the wrong place
I dont think the buttons will work .. its a wired headphone so the harware is not supported.. had it been a bluetooth one then it would have been possible..
Yep, it shouldnt be possible to use the buttons.
No, it shouldn't work. It can't.
First of all, android doesn't support previous/next/volume buttons, only single button with multiple press options (single/double/triple, slow and long press). HERE you can find remote functionality for all android music players and some non-android as well, using standard headphones with single action button.
Below there is a table called 'P Version Compatibility'. It lists all of the android phone models that are compatible with standard TRRS (4 pin) jack. As of standard jack I'm thinking about that one which is compatible with iPhone and most of the music players (pins as follows: T, R1, R2, S). There is no Galaxy 3 specified in that compatibility table, which means it has kind of proprietary port.
In this proprietary port the microphone and ground pins are reversed (pins as follows: T, R1, S, R2). Many Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones are equipped with it, so they are not compatible with standard headsets mic/button functionality.
To be able to use this additional functionality you have to use Samsung's headset bundled with i5800 or similar (as of headset jack) phone or use TRRS to TRSR adapter, like THIS one.
In this case buttons and mic are totally incompatible with android OS, despite the fact that both (phone and headset) have the same (propably) pins layout.
To sum it up:
- you can use mic/button in Galaxy 3 only with specific Samsung/Nokia/Sony headsets or using adapter.
- you can (try to) listen to music on 4 pin TRSR device using TRRS headset, but mic/button won't work, and sound most probably will be heavily distorted. And vice versa.
- you can listen to music without any problems using any 3 pin jack (no mic/button) in any 3 pin or 4 pin device.
- not sure about both of 4 pin jacks in 3 pin port.
For example Samsung Galaxy S had Samsung's proprietary port, Galaxy S2 has standard port. Life has just become easier
Hello guys
My original earphones were broken and I thought that it would be a good idea to try again samsung's but another model this time.So I went for galaxy's note earphones that I found at ebay which says that is fully compatible with i5800
The fact is that they don't work properly. Their sound is very "deep" and when you are listening music singer is inaudible.The weird thing is that if I press the button for accepting/ending calls the problem fixes.
At first I thought that if I did some kind of "patent" to keep the button pressed everything would be fine( I use earphones mainly for music and not for calls) but if I keep the button pressed when I insert the jack earphones are not detected.
Finally I contacted the seller who told me that the one that they sent me were broken and sent a replacement but those have also the same issue.
Has anyone else the same issue?Can I do anything to fix this problem or it is a matter of compatibility so nothing can be done?
It's all written in my post above. Galaxy S2, S3 and Note use standard headset jacks, while older devices, like ours, do not. You can use only special Samsung's (or other OEM) TRSR earphones, e.g. from i5800/i5801/i9000, to be able to use remote control button. Every headset without button will work as well.

Sorry mate don't get angry with me.I asked for further info because the name of earphones at ebay was "
GENUINE SAMSUNG WHITE STEREO HANDSFREE FOR i550 I5500 I5510 i560 I5700 I5800" but undoubtedly looks alike those of galaxy note.(forum don't let me post the link of the product)
So I was wondering whether it was a fixable problem or not
Cool, I'm a very calm person.
The seller most probably doesn't know about this issue, it's typical all over the world (sellers' lack of knowledge). That's what forums are for, since OEMs didn't want us to use headphones other than bundled ones in the first place (audio ports are much more unified nowadays, thankfully).
So the answer is: no, it's not fixable. The only way to use in-line button is to buy a specific headset that works properly with i5800 (bundled ones or other that are proven to be working with proprietary TRSR port).
Good luck.
Edit: Try EHS48ESOME.
ok then I have to go for the same ones that was provided with the phone although I wasn't satisfied with their quality.Sound was very good but I faced serious problems with the speaker and in order for the others to hear me I had to hold it near my mouth.
That was the reason why I decided to buy another model.Of course I didn't know that it wasn't compatible with my device
Anyway thank

Hi,
I have a Samsung I9000 and have lost the headphones. (My Labrador dog found them very tasty!)
I tried purchasing some more generic ones as the Samsung web site does not have any.
The new headphones have a single button on them. When you press the button, the headphone volume is OK. When you release the button the volume goes very low and not clear at all.
Does anyone know where in the UK I could get some replacement headphones that actually work?
I need the headphones to work and also the FM radio to work.
EHS60ANNBEC
this is original samsung accessoire, but they are better than stock
may be reffered as "Galaxy Tab P1000 Headphones", but they are suitable for i9000
1. Accesories thread.
2. Why replacement? on eBay you'll find original...
eBay is your best bet.
any nokia headset would do too... it has something to do with the way the contacts are arranged in the plug.. the thing you are describing about the volume when you press the button is because of that, if you use the samsung headset on a blackberry or an iphone the same should happen... let's say there are two kinds of headsets, motorola, blackberry, iphone goes one way and nokia, samsung go the other with the sgs1, do not buy the headsets from sgs2 or galaxy tab10.1, because they are the same kind of the moto/blackberry/iphone.
and i think i read somewhere that there is a connector that allow the use of the other kind.
hope this helps.
(anyone feel free to correct me)
Thanks francescopp, you are correct, to get earphones for SGS you must buy Nokia/SGS spec. It is the connections to the four pin plug that differ in the two systems, and the only adapter that I've seen was made as a four connection plug with a four connection socket on the back, obviously with pin reversal wired in. The only problem was the length that the plug/socket plus the earphone plug stuck out of the top of the phone, making it prone to damage.
You may want to wait for this pair of headphones: a-Jays One+
These headphones will definitely work with SGS and are far much better than stock ones. Reviews of a-Jays One, Two and Three are generally very positive.
They are coming out this month I think.
Hi I have one original still in un packed. If you want I can sell you. Drop me a reply with your contacts in pm.

Well, I found some P1000 Headphones, that even have Samsung written on them.
They do not work with the I9000.
They have "EHS24ATSBE" written on them.
I will search for another set...
does anybody know of a software solution like an app or some other hack to make the earphone jack on the Arc S compatible with aftermarket earphones having a inline mic?
background --
The headphone jack on the Arc S is different from those found on motorola, iphone or HTC phones. The four connectors have the same configuration for the left and right audio channel but the connections for mic, ground are interchanged. 99% of the earphones with inline mic available in the market are made to the iphone specs and hence are not compatible with SE arc s. I have these ones and these, but when i plug them into the phone it just says "accessory not supported" .
I had the same problem with my last phone samsung wave which also has the flipped ground/mic connectors. The earphone that came with that phone also work on the arc.
There are cables available that fix this problem -- http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005I0GHV8 (I have bought this one)
http://www.meelec.com/MEE_TRRS_Adapter_for_P_Version_Headphones_p/adptr-trrs-35.htm
http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r2m-r3f.htm
galaxy s users can use an alternative voodoo sound driver to mke the earphones compatible without the need for additional adapter cable.
can something similar be done for Arc S? , (I have bought one of those adapter cables but it sucks to have it dangling from the phone all the time)
base on my experienced, you can try this.
SE supply the wired Handfree kits right? along the kit got
1. stereo jack with mic inline (you should notice the jack has 4 metal/copper connection to be plug in to the phone)
2. in the middle have mic and an answer button + another Stereo jack receiver,
3. after that, then you will have a bit short wire stereo earphone with a stereo jacks but without the mic inline wire (you should notice the jack has only 3 metal/copper connection)
you should connect your wire input device to the stereo jack after the mic, because after the mic only the circuit will only supply sound output voltage (+ left, + right & -ve for both earphone)
...i am sorry for my bad English
goodluck
-ALi
@putrabiru
you seem to have misunderstood the problem
earphones that don't have a mic in them(3 rings on the jack) already work fine if connected directly to the phone.
I am looking for a way to make earphones with inbuilt mic(4 rings on the jack) work with the arc without an additional piece of wire between the phone and the earphone jack.
So i am basically looking for a way to make the phone treat the mic and ground connectors opposite to how they are set up by default. This will definitely require a kind of mod to the system files of android or the drivers. I've even read about other users of samsung phones who opted to physically replace the headphone jack unit on their phones with standard configuration ones!
Sony should have kept the configuration the same as how most earphone manufacturers make them.
Sony actually uses the agreed OMTP standard for mobile headsets. The reason for all these problems is nothing other than the recent popularity of crApple.
Just get a cheap OMTP adapter off ebay. You should be able to find one by searching for something like "Motorola headset adapter" etc.
As Paul stated, Sony Ericsson actually followed the standard, Apple did not. I would suggest to look for an adapter if you want to use "iPhone compatible" headsets.

Hi, anyone know if in the headphones AKG Q460 the play/pause and next/previous track buttons work in android (SGS2)?
+1
same question
If you download an app like 'Headset Controller App' you can use any 3 button remote and mic on Android. The app recognises and configures any buttons to whatever functions you want, real handy, use it all the time on my HTC desire S with 'Made for iPhone' earphones, no problems
one more question.
I've some problem with mobile-headphones. The standart headphone they without mic and has just 2 lines on TRS 3.5 but mobile headphone has 3 lines on TRS 3.5.
The problem is when I connect my samsung\black-berry headphones to my MP3 Iaudio I7 so I hear very very weak until I click some buttom on the cable of headphone.
will I get same problem with this headphone on my I7 or PC?

Are you really sure about this ? I have read mixed reports on Headset Controller Button. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Seems to depend on the headsets, and also on the android smartphone.
I'm desperately trying to find if a AKG headset (Q460 or K451) can be made to work (all 3 buttons) with my Xperia Arc S. This info seems just IMPOSSIBLE to find right now !!!
Sorry for the late answer, But I am registered since only a few minutes.
Try it with the included Nokia-Adapter. This works fine on my xperia x10 mini.
If you upgrade your phone to the newest version of android, they will definitely work. Tried it already

Hi
I have an Xperia SL and this is not working...
I can stop/play the music, but cannot receive calls and no one hears me when I speak to the phone's mic.
is there a way to solve it?
I'm using AKG Q460
thanks
I have the Q460 and Galaxy S3.
The Play/Pause/Next Track function works. The Mic and Vol control does not.
The Q460 was made for the Iphone/Ipod with a 4 pole jack.
The limitation is a physical (wired) connection that is not present on the Android phones.
Bear in mind the headset was also tuned for the Iphone4/5 - sound will be weaker and distorted on my Galaxy-for example - but sounds OK with PC/Kindle Fire output.
I ordered a headphone amp for my S3 to fix that problem.
If you want phone functions on android get an AKG model that supports the android phones of which there are several.

In the last 6-7 months I reviewed a few dozen of headphones with fixed or removable iDevice cables and EVERY single one worked on my Note 2 w/android 4.1.2. I mean, volume up/down will not work because iDevices use different resistor values in the remote, but multifunction button worked perfectly for play/pause/call, double click to skip, and long press for Google Now. I was under impression Galaxy S3 was supporting 4pole jack as well with extra control signal. So Vol not working is expected, but I wonder if something is wrong with your mic?
Btw, how do you like Q460? I just did search, seems to be bass oriented, not much of mids/treble details (I only trust Tyll's reviews: http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/akg-quincy-jones-k460)

I just took a second look at my s3 factory earbuds, thanks to you, and they sure do have 4 poles. Two of the four are supposedly reversed on iPhone, as has been stated elsewhere. So the issue is still wiring in my opinion, Different resistor values- not sure but sounds like it would be an issue, no pun intended. I did not test my mic so I cannot say that it does not work, so I stand corrected. Which leaves me with the same observations that you had with the i devices cords. I stay with my original contention- that no "App " will fix this.
As far as reviews I listened carefully to two tracks looking for bias/distortion : " Animus Vox" by the Glitch Mob which carries the full spectrum and "Them Shoes" studio version, by Patrick Sweany, which focuses on voice, mid, and highs. I detected no bias toward lows, and the mids, highs were crisp. These phones, remember, were marketed for accuracy, not as "beats killers", and I am not disappointed.
There are a number of heavy hitter reviewers that agree with me so I would have to say they are real scientists
I ordered an aftermarket cable to replace the short cable that comes with the phones, the one without the Vol control.
And my headphone amp will be here tomorrow night (FiiO E12 Mont Blanc Portable Headphone Amplifier ).
One caveat : I expect these phones to sound even better with a CD since the lousy compression of Pandora or Amazon MP3's should not be used to review headphones.
Then, there gotta be a difference between S3 and N2/N3/S4. I would not be surprised that starting with N2 Samsung "aligned" poles to work with apple in-line remote. I can tell you with 100% certainty that every single headphone I tested (check out my signature link to all my reviews on XDA, also a sticky in this accessories forum section) with iDevice in-line remote worked perfectly with my Note 2 and also with S4 when I had that one for review from Verizon. Volume didn't work, but multi-function play/pause/call button did.
Regarding resistor values, take a look at this link. They go over in high details about it: http://www.instructables.com/id/Galaxy-Nexus-and-others-headset-remote-with-medi/

You can get the same app with better controls for free, JAYS: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.jays.headsetcontrol
And, NONE of these apps, neither yours nor mine will allow iDevice volume control on in-line remote with Android phone > 4.x. There is a workaround from the app to get volume control working on Android 2.x devices, but it doesn't work on 4.x.
I brought the AT&T version of the Glide and it didn't come with a wired headset. I've tried a headset for a Galaxy S, but the buttons didn't work. Could anyone with the Rogers headset ( I think it comes with one) share the model number, or if anyone else has a working let me know where I can source one?
Thanks!
I have the headset in my hand that you are mentioning but I do not see any model number anywhere to help you out. All I see is a Samsung logo on each ear piece as well as a Large L or R. On the Wire where it splits from 1 to 2 wires (1 for each ear) there is a small Made in China written on it. No other writing can be seen.
Damn, thanks anyway

I bought these Samsung earbuds and use them along with Jays Headset Control from the Play store. Thanks to the app the one answer button can handle all music controls and even initiate voice actions.
Here are some from Samsung:
http://www.shopandroid.com/samsung-ehs60-35mm-stereo-headset/11A29A9345.htm
Didn't tried them, but since they're said to be made for the Captivate Glide, they should work.
Finally got around to grabbing the HTC ones and they're working fine. Audio quality is half decent too.
Desire headset isn't working on calls for me. I hear fine but the other side says the sound is terrible.
Hope this helps
Samsung galaxy one and newer Samsung phones use two different 3.5 mm jack
The newer jack like on gs2&3 are more standards. The remote doesn't work because on gs1 it's wired different.
As of today
Samsung
Htc
Sony (not Sony Ericsson)
Use the same Standards 3.5mm jack
So of buy a htc ear headphone it work on all 3 companies
( i don't know about other companies)
The model no of the headset that comes with captivate glide rogers is GH59-10419E.
Any mention of headset in the glide manual talks about micro USB.
(Drowning in google search results, most of which don't apply [Why do they assume if you want an adapter you want a crappy / cheap earbud headset too?]. So posting here to start from a list of those who have a glide and specific experience!)
Messages here seem to indicate that standard 3 connector, 2.5mm cordless phone headsets work. Can anyone confirm?
(I tried a friend's 3.5mm headset, got audio, but only for media not for anything else, per playing with settings / audio. It also has an additional doohickey / adapter where the headphones plug into a mic adapter, which in turn plugs into the 3.5mm jack instead of the headphones, directly - when using that not even media came through.)
(And even when audio came through, the navigator voice didn't come through, as it did not on a bluetooth headset. I can't hear the navigator across the car - how to get it to play to a headset?)
Source of a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter known to work?
Or 2.5mm to micro usb adapter?
Let alone, pc headset, 2 x 3.5mm, to micro usb adapter?
Thanks for any pointers / good search terms to known good working beasties, drowning in search results.
I need yet another crappy headset like I need ... druther just use one I already know and like and adapt it to the glide.
I'm guessing an adapter would need buttons on it for talk (and / or volume?).
I see on amazon there's a straight micro usb to 3.5mm adapter however I suspect it would be audio only (yes?), and worried that since it's a solid doohickey, not two ends separated by wire, that some end would get easily broken.
Advice, thoughts, experiences?
Do the genuine LG Google Nexus 4 stereo headphones HSS-F400 work on the Nexus 5?
These are still available online in a few places online and I like the fact they have the Nexus branding on them. Can anyone confirm whether their sound quality is any good?

Any headphones work, I mean they all work. As for sound quality, not sure. I still have the pair from my Gnex and they still work.

There no reason any headphones wouldn't work across any device or manufacturer.

Thanks for replying. Well you say that any headphones should work on any device but the headphones that came with my old Samsung Galaxy S and before that the pair from my Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 certainly do not work properly on my Galaxy S3 or my Nexus 5. It's like those headphones were based on a different standard - same jack, different output. That's why I asked.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
All 3.5mm sound peripherals are standardized but there could be some alternate function that interferes with the phone's operation if it has inline controls. If it has a mic that should be pretty standard as well.
Most 2.5mm and 3.5mm mobile audio now used TRRS where ring 3 is used for ground and sleeve is mic - standards (CTIA/AHJ) that are good for Apple, HTC, Sony & most Android devices. Some might be wired with ring 3 for mic and sleeve is for ground instead. If you come across it, you can get an inexpensive adapter on eBay to reverse/conver it.
The left & right audio channel are the same, however - so for listening purposes, they all should work ... :fingers-crossed:
I have not received any headset with the N5...but I would like to buy one motorola bluetooth headsets for my N5 as I just used of one of my friend and I really like them...so wondering to go for them....
N5 does not come with nor ship with any headset.
Standard & popular bluetooth headset are fine, I've both Motorola & Jabra BT headset setup for use with it, recognized it & did not even ask for a PIN - but I did change the device name to something more unique so that other BT headsets nearby won't connect to it by "accident" although I usually turn it off unless I'm on the move.
