Use iPhone In-Line Controls with Android!

I found this really neat tutorial on how you can make the in-line controls for iDevice intended headphones to work with Android. I haven't tried it yet, as I want to make sure I find a backup cable for my headphones in case anything goes wrong. I may also just try to find some crappy iPhone buds to try it out on first.
All you need is a steady hand. So here is the how-to link:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Galaxy-Nexus-and-others-headset-remote-with-medi/#step1
If anyone does this I would love to hear how it works, as it would be awesome to finally have the volume controls working on my headphones.
It does list incompatibility with the Galaxy S, but doesn't mention the SII, and it does work with Galaxy Nexus, and the Note, so I'm assuming it will work with the SII.
If anyone tries this out, definitely post your results!

It works with any headphones that have a mic, just check on the box because some will say if they say if they are compatible with Android features,. The ifrogz work really good! But i do have a pair of the inline iphone control head phones well give them a shoot and see how it works and try the way you posted

+1. I had to install a signed headset mod to my rooted device to get it working though. Although, initially I used JAY's Headset Controls until they kept crapping out with the volume. Now I use the app recommended above. I bought it and it is worth it.

Yeah but I believe that only enables the center button. I want all 3 buttons to work.

Awwww damn it! Why only for Apple!! anyway thanks for the reply, and hopefully there will be some program to make it works later

Apple makes their own standard for headphone controls when there is already a standard utilized by every other phone in existence.

I remember reading a thread explaining how to change some of the button mapping for android (may involve a text editor if you're familiar with them).
That may be what you're interested in. Of course try the app mentioned above too.

Increase bluetooth volume and quality

Is there anyway to get louder bluetooth volume on a phone call and better quality.. I had the sammy victory 4g and volume was crazy loud and quality of sound was amazing for a cheap low end phone

havent really noticed any issues on my lg tones, jambox or my bt head unit....what are you connecting to?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I am using a blue parrot headset.

I'm using a Plantronics Voyager Legend and the volume does seem a little low even at maximum. It can be a bit staticy sometimes as well. Neither issue is so bad as to be annoying though. I had thought that the issue was with the Plantronics, but I suppose it's just as likely that the problem is with the Note. I haven't searched for a solution yet.

I have tried my headset with my wifes gs3 and my old phone photon and it is crazy louder with those phones, then I connect if back to my note2 and the voice prompt and commands are loud but when on a phone call isnt nearly as loud....

Silly question...but did you turn it up? I think there is a setting that adjusts in call volume to a lower level by default
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I've seen the same thing. Its a software thing because on Jellybomb 5.1 the volume us definitely louder but still not loud enough. My same BT headset was much louder on my Evo and is much louder on my WP7.

Ya I just wish I was smart enough to figure it out I have tried multiple Bluetooth headsets and all them get quiet when you start taking but use thm on other phones and are louder
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

Any super smart developer that can figure this out there has to tweaks somewhere to increase the max volume
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

I would Definitely say its a problem with the note. The volume is way low on a call. I use a Moto hx550 and my GS3 worked great with it.
I have been following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931970
and tried the tweaks by editing manually, but it didnt help bluetooth volume. So I'm either not tweking the right volume values or there will have to be another solution found. Its frustrating, but hopefully something will come out of one of these threads...

I have an issue with my Note 2 Bluetooth quality as well. Using Motorola Elite Silver. Seems to be perfectly fine with playing music and as soon as I initiate a call the quality degrades their voice breaks up as well as mine. Works fine with other devices, currently have tried on a couple different ones in the Sprint store I work at.

Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

What rom/kernel are you running? If its a tw rom with a compatible kernel you could try STweaks.
It has an option to increase standard volume limits.

Hmmm, its got to be rom related then. If your headset works fine on a different phone, then thats all thats left. There is one last option for you
I use a jawbone icon I got fron ebay.
What really made the difference for me...jabra ear gels. They look crazy! But they hold inside the ear without a hook. An it tunnels the sound dramatically. $6 for a full set left and right.
Honestly bud, this made night and day difference! Sadly their not available in any store anymore. But online everywhere!
If sound is this much an issue for you. I would say the $6 is worth a try.

There should really be a VLC-like setting on all ROMs that allows you to go above 100% on bluetooth volume if you choose to.

Apple Earpods Not Working with My Xperia Play

For some odd reason, whenever I plug my Apple Earpods into my Xperia Play I get a notification telling me that the accessory is not supported. However, if I hold down the middle button on the Earpod's mic not only on does the phone recognize them, but they work fine. The catch is, if I stop holding down the button, the audio becomes much more quite. Worse, is the fact that there is a constant beating sound coming from the Earpods when no audio is playing.
Does anyone know of a way to fix this? Is there maybe an setting in the phone that I can tweak to make them work. Also, keep in mind that my other headphones work fine, it's just that the Earpods are much better, and I'd like to get them working.

Had the Holding down issue on my old Satio, and Im afraid it is possibly either down to a hardware issue or the fact that Sony decided to f* the 3.5mm jack as Im sure that only a few and selected headphones with Microphones will work bar the ones that Sony decides to rip of people like me.. I've managed to order a set of livesounds' for this reason..

My apple earphones dont work for my xperia play. Solution: get another set of ear phones.

I may have found a fix for this. Apparently this adapter should fix the problem.

Turn it up a little at a time til you find the max with no distortion
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda premium

Try this:
Install equalizer app from market.
Open the app and raise all 5 bars to max.
Done.
For mp3: use pre amp feature of players like poweramp.

What quality is your music at? What kind of head phones are you using? I say this because my set up I have to turn down because it's too loud.

I use Poweramp + Audio Technica M60.

Try this (attachment)@PowerAMP equalizer.
Also check your audio file quality.
