Head phones - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just bought a pair head phones that us a inline mic and volume rocker but it doesn't work with my phone
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

I've never tried those before but with PowerAmp music player you can utilize those controls. There is a beta in the market for free too if you want to try it out.

I have some Klipsch Image S4i's with the remote. The mic works fine, and the middle button works too, skipping songs (CM7), answer calls etc. But the volume buttons will not work because the Incredible hardware doesn't support them. They work just fine on my iPod touch however.

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
Blackberry headphones work great on vibrant, nice audio

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.

[Q] V MODA headphone 'hack'

I guess this is a silly question, but I have these V MODA headphones (Remix Remote, if you're curious) and was wondering as to whether it was possible to get the buttons to work. It has volume buttons and play/pause buttons, but the only time the remote buttons works is during a phone call (Answer/End).
Thanks!
Are they meant to be used with an iPhone? If so, some music apps replicate the headphone functionality of the iPhone. MixZing does, maybe others. I don't believe the standard Android music player works with the buttons, though.
Thanks for your response! MixZing works flawlessly. However, the volume buttons don't work.
And yes, it's intended as an iPod/iPhone headset.

Headphones with media controls?

Can anyone recommend headphones with media controls that works well with our ET4G?
Any of the Bluetooth Motorola ones work great. My current pair are a set of Motorola Rokr that I picked up for about $30 from Verizon via slick deals...
Ok so I did some research and found Klipsch Image S4a Premium Noise-Isolating Headset. Anyone have any experience with these? Does it work with our phones?
I have been trying for the life of me to get my controls on my headphones to work and nothing works I have a pair of Beats, Skull candy, Bose, and Sony and none of them are working for me.

lve only ever use motorola bluetooth headphones with my phones and they've all worked without issue. I'm looking for a good bt intercom for my motorcycle helmet right now but if you guys come up with a quality pair of bt headphones I'm in the market for those too....
I have these and they're awesome. http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-B...N9OK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1317520014&sr=8-2
The volume, pause, track skip work great on the regular media player and also Spotify.
SOL Republic ear phones don't work.

I have the S4 and the sound (for buds) is really good. The S4A is supposed to have media controls specifically for android phones/players as the S4i is incompatible.
I would bet the S4A would be good.

Be careful. The epic 4g touch controls do not work with my cars eclipse head unit where my evo worked pretty well. The devices connect of course but i cant resume playing after a pause, etc

so I take it that only Bluetooth headsets are working? all mine are wired headsets and none of there media controls will work with the stock media player, playerpro or Google music.

I don't think you had the s4a's... they just came out like a few days ago. I have some on the way from Crutchfield, shipped out yesterday. Will post a review when I get them.
For those who are unfamiliar, they're supposed to work with a special Klispsch android app to enable full media control, volume up/down, play, pause, track forward and back, voice search.
I've been using Altec Lansing bluetooth stereo headphones which also have media controls which work well, but I've decided bluetooth stereo is just a useless hassle, wired is better overall.
MotoRokr is excellent with this phone. Works flawlessly. Oh, no special software needed to use them. They have HD sound out of the box.
I am waiting for these to be released:

Supposedly going to be in the $50 range, like the s4a's it's going to have an android app for controls.
Don't work with beats by Dre studios. But Bluetooth controls work with my lg hbs.

Quick update, I received my Klipsch S4a headphones and while they have good sound quality I can't get the "media controls" to work at all. The Klipsch Android app doesn't seem to work with this phone.
Essentially the headphones have just 1 button same as most headphones. The Klipsch app is supposed to enable control using various button click combos, example 1 click pause/resume, 2 clicks next track, continuous press to adjust the volume etc.
However on the E4GT I think the voice control app intercepts the button presses and the Klipsch app doesn't do anything. A long press simply launches voice command.
I haven't been able to find any way to make it work... hmmm. Disappointing.
S4A does jack sht for us..

Hell yeah it's disagoddamnpointing. I just picked up a pair of S4As I ordered from Crutchfield, total bust and exactly as you have described. The Android app does nothing and all that happens is we can launch voice commands.
On Android Market they mention this "The default media player on the following devices are not compatible and require a 3rd party media app for full functionality: Samsung Infuse, Samsung Galaxy S 4G, Motorola Atrix (List subject to change.)"
They also go on to list, "The follwing music apps have been tested and compatibility confirmed: Google Music, Amazon MP3, Pandora, Last.fm, Slacker (List subject to change.)"
Might as well just add the GSII Epic 4G Touch to a special FULLY incompatible list.

Which Model of the MotoRkr? S9, S10, S305?
I picked up the Sony Ericsson MW600. Not only do you get bluetooth, you can use any earphones you want and have complete control over the phone and media. There is a mic on it so you don't have to worry about having a separate pair of earphones with a mic. And you can hook it up to multiple sources. I can listen to music on my Xoom and talk on my E4GT when a call comes in with a touch of a button.

Compatible wired headsets.

Might be useful to someone. HTC HD7 headset works with One X but. Volume control buttons work to change the track in music player. Pressing + goes one track back, pressing - advances a track. Holding the + restarts your playlist from 1st track. Button for phone calls so pickup/disconnect work as normal and long pressing it does the same as in stock headset so advances the track by 1 song. Microphone also works. Finally headset activates the beat add-on but saying that only 1 set of headsets did not activate it on my phone?!
It is useful as what you can do now is mod the HD7 headset so that right after microphone/buttons you have a 3.5mm jack socket and you can plug in any headphones and still use them as headset.
headset and headphones that work all three buttons & mic
- urbeats
- htc beats solo
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-001
i've got the nokia monster purity in ear headphones and they work with the one x pretty well, the volume controls function as track controls and the call button and mic works perfectly too. Only issue i've had is the music controls won't work at all if you're using chrome and trying to change the track. You have to get out of chrome and then the buttons work, strange but not a major issue.

Iphone compatible headphones on a galaxy S3

So what is the prevailing view on the right headphone adaptor which will enable track skipping and volume when plugged into android phones? There are loads of high quality audiophile headphones which are off limits at the moment. I know the sony balanced armature buds will work, but I would like some Atomic Floyd. Which adaptor has had most success?
I have also downloaded remote control for earphones. This is a serious practical issue. I cannot believe with a phone so powerful, that these button functions are not coded into any android rom. Is there a ROM to flash, which will enable apple type inline remotes?
I own a skullcandy icon 3 headset.
mic: work
Volume: work
Next/last track : Don't work
On my iPhone i could double click and it move the next track, triple clikc and go back one track. This doesn't seem to work on the stock player on my Galaxy S3. I can pause and start playing though.
Skull candy half and half headset.
Mic, backward track skip, and volume don't work. Forward track skip does.
Beats wireless: Bluetooth all works. Bluetooth volume is separate from phone volume though. Wires- same problems as skull candy.
