Compatibility with "beats by dre" headphones? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

hello everyone, just received a set of beats by dre headphones, sound is very nice but it can't be controlled with the commands included in the wire (pause sound is working, but resume/volume controls isn't)
Any way to fix that?
Thanks in advance for help.

The only in-line device on earphones that will not work with Android devices is volume up-down buttons but single button(play, pause, skip, etc..) and mic will work.
If your going to buy a higher quality set of earphones I would also recommend buying power amp and adjusting the EQ however you like it, it really makes your music better

Improve audio

been away for too long and lost track of tricks to improve audio volume on Gnex, especially on notifications (not only music).
Anything new and really working?
Mostly interested in improving volume for notifications through external speaker.
Thanks
MegaBassBeats is the way.

Sorry but I must say a huge... NO
As an audio enthusiast, Beats must be the ****tiest sound I've ever heard.
There is/was an app called "Volume+" which is said to work pretty well. Though I can't confirm it.
Otherwise some ROM's and Kernels do have a bit of volume boost built in.

volume+ was working with ics but broke with jb...
plus I need only volume increase on ext spkr for notifications
I fixed mine with trinity kernel. They have an audio slider that helps with that.
On the topic of audio is there any way to control the gain of the mic when recording video?

I've been pretty pleased with Misledz's work over here. Works well for JB to improve audio quality and boost volume.

There is a pinhole-size notch in the top edge of the rear cover, toward the right side as you look at your phone from the back. Behind that is supposedly a second microphone that is used when recording video. There have been complaints that it is set far too sensitive, and garbles the audio in loud environments. I don't know of any way to adjust it with software. You could try reducing the MIC's sensitivity by holding your finger over the pinhole.

Best Equalizer App w/BeatsByDre?

I've had my Detox edition Pros for a while now but I'm constantly trying different equalizer apps
(currently using the stock one from CM10 Google Music)

I'm using Equalizer with Skullcandy Hesh headphones, the boost in audio is very noticible and it offers presets along with effects like bass booster and virtualizer.

Maybe its your device. My device is plenty loud even at the loud setting.

Wait for KingBeatZ to release their sound mod for the new Nexus 7 if they will. On the old Nexus 7 it made a significant improvement to the speaker volume.
Usually I'm right on front of the tablet so sound have been am issue. I guess if you are trying to use it as something to listen to from across a room it may not fair well.

A user posted that it worked on their 2013, so that is a good sign. Must be pretty universal, the dev should post it in here.

Set the eq for speaker, bluetooth, or headset to higher values. Have you tried dsp before?

When you look at a graphic eq you will see all of the toggles, they correspond to a frequency, from low to high (left to right). By moving a control anywhere higher than 0 you are effectively making that frequency louder. So by dragging the controls on the right you are boosting the high frequency sounds ( speach/singing/cymballs) and by dragging the ones farther to the left you are adjusting bass and mid levels. Just play with it, just be aware that by boosting the gain too high you could end up making your music/movies sound distorted. Have fun!
And a tip, put on a style of music that you listen to the most while you make changes so that you can hear the difference that your changes make.

I don't really use poweramp but I think there is a volume override is settings---audio---advanced...Try that, poweramp has its own engine that you have to disable.

Well in doing a little search through the forums it looks as if the developer has set poweramp to not work with 3rd party dsp. You may just have to find a different player that you like that supports dsp. They have a forum with the answers to your questions I am sure. Sounds like your up and running though.

How do I play mono sound?

My top speaker is blown and the bottom speaker doesn't play the full songs it leaves stuff out and Idk how to switch to mono I've been searching for like 2 hours and the closest I got is boella sound control but I don't know if the nexus 7 supports those kernels and power amp but I don't have any cash to buy it any suggestions? Please and thanks

You need some sort of sound mod that supports mono. The old Voodoo sound app is an example of a sound mod that had an option for Mono output. I don't recall seeing a mono option in any sound mod that was not a root needed app since they typically need to be supported by the kernel.
If you are on 4.3 you could check if viper4android has a mono option for speakers. I think I vaguely remember saying they added it. And I don't know the status of viper4android on 4.4 except i didn't see it in the most current 'new features'.
