[Q] Dr Dre Beats on Arc

Hello guys.
I have a problem:
My dad bought himself an XE with Dr. Dre Audio beats and gave me his Headset.
But every time when I want to connect it to my arc it says that it's not supported.
Is there any fix/rom out to fix this issue?
Thank you.
Yours, Kuro

have the same issues as urs dude.. =(

you cannot use HTC, samsung, and iphone on ours sony ericssons...
Sony, nokia etc has the same...but incompatibile with htc,samsung,iphone...
sorry mate...its hardware problem..you should cut out end of headset and put your own connector, or open up phone and change this connector

Lol really?
Well, I got some Sony (not SE) in-ears which worked in 2.3.2 w/o problems, but now in 2.3.4 they doesn't work("Not supported"). But: on 2.3.2 the Dr. Dre Beats worked, but the Sound was a little bit "fuzzy" so it's a software prob, isn't it?

i cant acctually comment that, but what i said before is true.
It was thread about that month or two ago, this is what i remember.

I know that most of new phones can change polarity of connector automatic (by software) because all of headphones (not necessary branded by mobile manufacturers) have different connector...some use 2nd pin for ground, some not...so it is software problem, I would say even marketing...because they want us to buy their branded headsets...

well .. i have studio beats by dr.dre and i've tried it on nokia n8 and xperia arc and also ipod touch .. and it's workin great .. so i dont think it's something about connectors ..
( maybe ) your beats has it's own software on XE, that's why it shows the beats logo when u connect them .. but im not sure about that

I've got beats when I first connected them it says accessory not supported,I went into tescos here in UK and picked up a pair of smartphone headphones for about seven quid they come with an extra little adapter for certain brands of phones , plugher my beats in with the adapter and work fine

Thank you alun.
Do you maybe know how much such an adapter costs?

The one I've got came with a set of headphones but the headphones were less than £8 I don't know exactly where u would get one on its own , do a search for smartphone headphones and see what comes up they included the adapter so the headphones would work with certain brands of phones eg Samsung Sony e.t.c I just tried it with the beats headphones out of curiosity and it worked beats are ky everyday headphones now

What is Beats audio?

There are some custom rom for DHD include beats.
I don't know why DHD can use Beats.
Doesnt HTC one series have special hardware tip for beats?
Is beats just an software equalizer ?
HTC one series' beats is worthless if so.

Yes beats is just software equalizer. I really don't see the hype but people are obsessed with it right now. You could literally get the same sound by setting eq levels yourself. The app volume + has an eq setting for beats in it and I have used that side by side with beats and it is the same.

I've always asked the same question to myself. I believe it is some kind of software equalizer, but you will notice it better with the corresponding hardware (those famous expensive Beats headsets). I'm not to much into music listening so I can't tell the difference.

That's actually been proven false and I think HTC and dre have gotten some heat for it. Any good headphones will work. They don't have to be beats headphones.

Its a software equalizer basically. Just a link to download it.http://androidadvices.com/install-beats-audio-package-android-device/

Certainly,I think the reaction of consumers are too excessive for Beats

Yeah, more like "look at me, I'm wearing ultra expensive headphones".

Dr Dre was one of the richest celebs last year because of how he ripped off HTC and I guess HP with this gimmick.

HTC phones are the first and only smartphones to give you legendary Beats Audio sound. Customized Beats by Dr. Dre headphones also come with select devices.
Authentic Sound. With Beats Audio, your sound is truly an experience. Play games, watch movies, listen to music, and hear every detail. Plus, access your apps, libraries, and Internet radio in one place

Dolby or srs sound more better than beats with headphones like akg or sonny..

"Beats Audio" is a marketing gimmick, nothing more.

Ok the earphones/ headphones are just to expensive. But you are talking about Beats Audio. I've tried...and there is no equalizer like Beats. I've tried with an eqaulizer. I suggest trying it yourself...you WILL...notice the difference in the music in-ear headphones only.

I have tried beats audio and headphones on my friends rezound phone. I then tried the beats setting in volume + with my headphones on my inspire. Sorry but mine sounded better. I wanted beats to be cool because I thought it was a neat idea but it turns out its just a bunch of bull. If you can find a program that will set your eq settings at the same levels then you will get the exact same effect. The reason mine sounded better is because my headphones are better than beats headphones. So the end result, good headphones equals good sound. Eq levels are just that.

That's what I meant, beats audio with better headphones not the crappy beats headphones.

Apple Earpods

So I just got the Apple Earpods and it seems that the microphone does not work at all. During calls and in apps. It doesn't matter what ROM I am on. However I do know the microphone on the headphones does work on other phones like the Nexus 4. Is there anyway that the microphone support could be implemented into a ROM? Or is it something hardware related that Samsung did with the headphone jack?

Like all Apple products, they decided to make their own version of TRRS jacks, so Apple reversed two of the poles on the jack. You can buy a converter here for 10.00

Thank you! But I am wondering why does it not work on the GS3? It works on the nexus 4 and according to android central when they reviewed the earpods, the microphone does work the android.

I believe in the review AC used a GNex, and if you read through the comments, people say the mic does not work on a SGS3 and even the GNex.

Try downloading Jays headset control from play store and see if it works.

HTC BH S600 Bluetooth Headset

Has anyone bought or tested this APT-X headset? I assume the actual headphones are similar to the free ones we get with the HTC One. Any views welcome as I use a Samsung HS3000 at the moment and I am wondering if this HTC APT-X verison is better. Thanks in advance

Bump. Hoping someone can help me

By plugging your headphones in. I misplaced my bluetooth device last week, and used the auxillary input in my car as a speakerphone. The car does not have a microphone/hands free system, it just puts the audio out of the speakers, and knows based on the bands on the headset jack (lack thereof) not to look for audio input through the headset.

Wow can't believe I never noticed that...you're right! Thanks mate
