An honest "plug" for Nokia, even while driving a very loud old car on the freeway, I was able to use Digit Dial, etc, NO problem. The new 900 headset works well, very well. People can here me now!
could you provide a link as to which model you are talkin about? Thank you.
OMG, my iphone is seriously going in the bin, this is a different breed of phone in every way, I have just done a 10 min video of A2DP working perfect in my car, the iphone only has partial A2DP so you can't change tracks, pause or adjust volume on the stereo itself this to me was a killer
The Desire just pairs and go's, it's smooth with multiple applications open and scrolling is exactly the same as the iphone, I love the bookmarks page so I can see the website i am visiting like suggested sites in IE8, the music player is as good as my Iphone and my iphone holder in the car even fits the desire nicely so I can watch woops i mean my passengers can watch videos while driving or parked up.
So far i have had little exposure but the experience is very iphoney and this is a good thing as the iphone is smooth as silk and so is this, I will post the video up here in 5 mins, its 600mb so need to compress it and whack it on youtube
Happy days!

Hey there,
Looking forward to the video! Just wanted to say I've been my Desire for a few hours now and it has been growing on me. I think I have it customized the way I like but that will probably change by tomorrow. I'm still getting used to the keyboard but it is very responsive, what really wins it for me is the web performance especially on WiFi.
I'm typing this right now on the desire and it just seems to scream through everything. Will post more impressions soon.

Yeah screams through everything is an understatement, I only had an iphone 3g but loading up all the pictures on this site used to take approx1 min, now it's instant.
I find the keyboard slightly smaller than the iphones so the keys are narrower, think my fingers are a bit too chubby and need to get used to a new keyboard haha..
HEy lucky guys, videos and pics are welcome here !
Cause in France (and other Eur countries) we'll have to wait for 1 week at least to touch our Desire.
So Enjoy but ... think about us and show us your new toy
Many Thanks from France !

Yes, so my whole music collection is streamed over bluetooth to the stereo, this is called A2DP and something the iphone could not do properly, even my old N95 was fine but you cannot change tracks on the unit itself when using the iphone.

No you need a car stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, they are fairly cheap £150 for the Blaupunkt one in my Audi
Thanks for this 1st video Roony. Is this MJ clip a native DivX or a re-encoded one ? It seems very flawless ...
(btw the 2nd video is "off" on youtube)

oh right, that kinda sux cuz im not planning to keep this car for very long. ive heard something about fm transmitters but i suppose u dont know much about it ?
btw does this bluetooth feature relate to the phone only or the car also? because i have built-in bluetooth kit on my kompressor, will it work?

+1 for the MJ video
Quick question...were you streaming off of WiFi?
To answer your questions, some new cars have the ability to A2DP stream bluetooth music, I am not sure about specifics, the MJ video was a youtube vid streamed over wifi I was parked on my drive so still have perfect wifi signal there
The music is the default tunes that come on the phone, they give you 7 or 8

Thanks. Man I can't wait to get mine
I am also concerned about bluetooth functionality with my built in set in the car.
I have a Hero now, and I can only make calls, no music streaming on stock 1.5 nor the legend 2.1 ROM. But I was able to stream music through my laptop and it was flawless.
On the other hand, when I had the Nokia e71 I was able to hear the phone's ringtone through the car speakers - but never tried streaming then. But with the Hero (and previously Tytn II) I only hear the annoying default car ring tone, so is this related to the ability to stream?
on HTC website they have the following specifications for bluetooth in the Desire:
Bluetooth® 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate
A2DP for wireless stereo headsets
FTP and OPP (object push) for file transfer
Other supported profiles: AVRCP, GAP, GOEP, HFP, HSP, PBAP, SPP, Service Discovery Application Profile
while the e71 has this:
Bluetooth profiles: DUN, OPP, FTP, HFP, GOEP, HSP, BIP, RSAP, GAVDP, AVRCP, A2DP
anyone familiar with these bluetooth profiles and can figure it out?
To the OP - the youtube video looks great, can you let me know where you got the car holder and its model name?
Regarding bluetooth, my car has only a basic factory installed car stereo but am wondering if a A2DP bluetooth interface like the one here would enable me to achieve the same results without me having to buy a new stereo. Is this feasible or is there a cheaper alternative?
117 quid for that adapter is a bit steep a decent stereo is about 150 but it depends what your own one is like, I will post up
the type of holder I got in a sec once I find it, I got.it off eBay
Its soooo terrible...
The FM radio only works with the offical headset. Wont work on third partys

ofcourse, the antenna of the radio is within the headset itself, its not in the phone, Lol, .... most phones are like this
Use internet radio Probably that's better.
Me neither, I don't listen to radio ...
For me, the most important thing is web browsing experience ...
- How good is the screen for web browsing
- How fast is the web browser
- How convenient is typing text (to comment in a web forum)
- How good is the bookmarking
- and so on
So far, from what I have seen (I dont have the device yet), it will satisfy my needs above.
Having simple Flash Lite 4.0 is a bonus while waiting the true Flash 10.1 !!!

That's very annoying if true. The user guide says "You need to connect a headset first to the audio jack of your phone to use FM Radio. FM Radio uses
the stereo headset as the FM radio antenna"
No mention that it has to be the supplied headset. It says "a" headset. And it only says the headset is the antenna. Most phones with built in FM radio will accept any headset as the antenna.
EDIT: It is also contradicted by this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5998006&postcount=6
I have never tried a phone that need Offical headsett, the last i tried was htc hd2, no problem
Not unexpected , needing headphones plugged in, but for me that is irritating as i was hoping to be able to use it over a stereo bluetooth headset (yes i know there are headsets with radios built in but doubling up functionality annoys me , grump over)
Well considering I sat this morning listening to the radio with two different pairs of headphones, I disagree! One was a pair of in ear sennheisers and the other was a headset that came with my webcam.

Strange... i tryed my philips inear headphones from my Ipod the radio would run but i just get static all the way through insainly bad reception...
The HTC headphones provided worked fine... That was the basis of my gripe...
But its not really that much of a problem as i dont listen to FM radio anyway

Mine works fine with a non HTC headset.
It's 2010 FFS FM is dead. Internet?
Does the speaker location suffer like the N1?
I mean if you put your Desire on a table the sound doesn't get mufled?
Hi All,
I just got a pair of Dr. Dre Beats Tour headphones and the microphone doesn't seem to work with my Android phone. I tried searching a lot and can't seem to find a lot of information on this apart for a few posts with very few details. Does anybody know if there is a way to get the microphone to work? I am currently running Android 2.1.
Thanks!
Has nobody else here run into this issue?

Gonna go ahead and guess this is spam, seeing as you have 1 post... and I said in my first message that I searched a lot but wasn't able to find anything useful.
You probably won't find that much information about this topic, well not useful information anyways. As far as i know, the tour doesn't work on a lot of android phones. The ones we have tested on are, Desire and wildfire. The reseller where we got the headphones from claims that the tour works with Nexus one, however i have not tested it. It would be interesting to know if other brands work...
P.s my beats studio works on all android phones with 3.5mm plug... and i have no idea why as physically, the plug is exactly the same.
Thanks for the info. Yep, I think it has something to do with the ControlTalk features on the cable... I tried my brother's Beats Solo, which came with the same ControlTalk cable, and they also didn't work.
I have an HTC Aria by the way. Just tried with Cyanogen 2.2 and also not working. Seems like we should be able to figure out a way to make this work, especially if it works on the Nexus One... they are both HTC phones after all. I wonder if there's a special driver for it installed on the Nexus One?
No dice on my Evo with my DiddyBeats. Wish I could take them back.
I actually got a Samsung Captivate and the mic works! Plus and minus controls don't, but at least I can answer/hang up/pause music and use the microphone.
And the answer is....
monstercable dot com (directory) mp3 (directory) controltalkworks
check your phone!
list...
Hmm the list is not very up to date....

No htc phones here...
UPDATE: there is hope

click on 4th tab universal controltalk, more comp. devices....!!
Hi guido!
I am in the similar situation...
Have you found a solution to make it work??
I can confirm that controltalk does not work with the Epic 4G either. I am running NebulaROM 2.2.1, and was using the beats solo HDs. Looks like the controltalk universal is the only solution. If I find a place to purchase them online, I'll post links.
I can confirm too. I've got the diddybeats with controltalk and hangup doesn't work. But audio control works (play/pause, next/previous). The mic seems to be work too, but i must hangup manually on the phone.
yea i have the solos and i had the ibeats and the controltalk doesnt work on any android phones it sucks cuz now i have to pull my headphones off and pull the plug out to answer a call on my mt4g running cyanogen mod 7 nightly
This is wider than the Beats Tour.... I have in front of my original Nexus One headset, my Dad's Galaxy S headset, and my Beats Tour with Control Talk.
I call the landline and then used each headset in turn. Only the mic on my original Nexus One headset works!
On the Beasts, the Control Talk button muted and un-muted the call, but no mic!
At the black rings on all the plugs all line-up, I assume it's a driver issue?
At least my Beats work with my iPad....
Can't get the Monster iBeats with ControlTalk or the Etymotic Research HF3 headphones to work with my HTC Desire Z.
FWIW, the inline mic adapters (i.e. Shure Music Adapter microphone, Griffin Smart Talk) allow all the above headsets to work. I had the Shure Music Adapter for my noise-cancelling Sony headphones. I haven't tried to control music, but the inline mic definitely works for calls. The answer / disconnect controls work on the Griffin, haven't accidently hit the button on the Shure yet.
Yes, it does defeat the purpose of the inline mic on the headset and it is a lot of extra cord to deal with... but oh well, its a work around until someone figures it out.
It may be something with powering the inline controls which the HTC phones don't support. If it were a driver issue, I think someone on this forum would have solved it.
HTH,
Ken
what a crock... the mic is totally usable on my POS work curve 8520, but not my android desire z.
epic monster #fail... so pissed.
does anyone know if the original dre beats tour headphones microphone works?

hello,everyone ,I am damjy,it is my first post in this forum,I think it is necessary to make a short introduction,Don't you think so?I am a new member and I join in you just now,I am so glad to be here.Have a good time .
IIRC while reading thru the Head-fi forums, the beats are designed to be compatible for iphones.
IMHO, if you are looking for quality sounding headphones, just stay away from Dre Beats, Diddy beat, Bieber beats, GaGa beats, Ludicris new phones or even Bose. They suck, overpriced and just really great marketing and branding like Apple,
I use Panasonic HJE-900 and Custom Shelled TF10 myself.
Guys,
I think the ones you are after are the 'Controltalk UNIVERSAL'.
The standard 'controltalk' is designed for the Apple products I think.
Does anyone know how to get headphone support for whitehawks jb ROM?
I can hear out of them but I can't seem to be able to hang up calls from them. I'm referring to the W headphones that came with our phone. I've riled out the possibility of it just being the headphones with another pair of the same headphones.
If you know of a resolution please help.
