Earbuds with mic and remote?

Looking for ear buds with mic and remote for the phone. Any suggestions? I would like to get something like v-moda remix but they only work with iphones.

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.

2 questions/problems regarding car dock

1. The music widget type thing in the dock app just repeats 5 or 6 songs... I've fiddled with all these settings and it does the same thing.
2. When talking to people on the phone I hear the persons voice through my phone speaker, how do I get it to play through my car speakers? I think I might have to turn speaker phone off because that's how it worked with the tape adapter.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.

Anyone?
Never live in the past but always learn from it.

This probably wont help you but I'll post anyhow. I just plug in my aux jack to the phone, all the audio pumps thru there.

Does the microphone on the phone still work this way? Considering the aux cable doesn't have a mic built into it like other hands-free headsets.

Figured out why I was only hearing like 5 songs.
Apparently you're supposed to have the stock music player set to "party shuffle" and then that widget in the car dock app works great. Plays all songs.
And I'll try talking with somebody with the phone not in speaker phone, I'm pretty sure it will work so that they can hear me, and I can hear them through car speakers.
Oh and I called Moto and the lady talked sooooo slow, and verified everything I said like 4 times, just to say that she could just replace it. Didn't even know how to troubleshoot.

Is it impossible to edit the widgets that come pre-loaded in the car dock app?

iLuv iEA15blk Remote Adapter for Earbuds & Headphones

I picked this up from Amazon, as I'm quite fond of my current in-ear headphones and didn't want to buy something else that had an integrated remote.
Only the main button is supported. Neither of the volume buttons respond.
It works natively with ICS and Galaxy Nexus. If you aren't using a third-party Music App, it will automatically call up the default Music application and start playing. Double-press to skip. No support for triple-press.
Since I use PowerAMP, I'll also mention that the app has an option to respond to Headset buttons. This intercepts the Headset's commands -- you don't get crazy things like two Music apps playing at the same time. Long-press to skip ahead is the default, though an option in settings allows for Double/Triple-press and works as advertised.
Hopefully this helps some of you looking for Android headset remotes without having to switch headphones/earbuds.

Along those lines, I ended up with a similar product. I had similar results to yours (no surprise.) The cord isn't very substantial and it looks flimsily made, but hey, it was only $5 and it gives me an easy way to pause without digging my phone out of my pocket. I was pleased to see that it works with BeyondPod (with the internal player.)

Hm.... In theory this should also work when using an aux cable to plug the phone into my car stereo for music. Instead of navigating the lockscreen to skip tracks or pause I could just hit the button on the adapter.
I like this!

Headphones with Media Controller

Anyone tried headphones with media Controller (Like the Galaxy S, the nokia)?
I'm looking for my car setup and I want to put a controller closer to the steering wheel and a microphone integrated, but I don't know it it'l work :|

You mean like any bluetooth stereo headphones? I'm pretty certain no wired headset will do this because the headphone jack doesn't support it.
There are quite a few standalone bluetooth stereo receivers around that you can plug generic headphones or a stereo line-out into though. I prefer the Jabra BT-3030 'dogtag' receivers, but there are plenty of others around. Just do a search on Froogle, Buy.com or any other big electronics site and you'll find them. The only real difference between them all is battery life and sound quality, they all have media player controls using standard Bluetooth profiles and they all include a condenser mic built-in.

No, I was talking about a button on the wired headphone, like the Galaxy S, to skip track, answer call, those sort of things.
From what LG answered me, it's not possible...
Downer there :|

Finaly found a spare pair of headphones from a Galaxy, with the button for the media controller.
Turns out, it works!
Long press opens voice control,
short press starts media player
two short press skips the track when playing.
There must be a standard for Android, I'll try to find the list tomorow and test it out, but anyway, good thing it works.
Anyway, good things it works! I'm running a lot, long distance, and it'll screw up any bluetooth, even S-10 (my current pair had some issue but cleaned up after drying in rice), so the good ol' button hearphones with the media controller is the best for me!
I've ordered a "seperate" microphone with a button and the input, I'll test and let you know!

I just bought some a-JAYS One+ for about 60$ The remote works with the Optimus G and most android phones.
The remote lets you:
Skip tracks
FF / Rwind
Play / Pause
Volume up / Down
Pick up calls
The sound quality is actually very good especially for bass junkies like myself. Not to mention the sleek swedish design.
I absolutely recommend them to anyone out there.
Cheers!

it is not a Android feature, it is just the the extra rim on the 3.5 headphone minijack that adds controls to it. and Android have adapted it. like micro USB for charging and connecting.

Well, I tried with my old Nokia N95 headset which has play, forward, volume, etc. And it did not work as expected, some buttons work as a single button headset. Also bought a Samsung headset (could not find LG headsets) with a button and volume control and the volume control does not work, the volume up key replicates the button.
So it is not that standard.
Or is there an app to activate the volume and multimedia buttons on those headsets?

Nexus 7 for Car Use, need some tips/suggestions

Hi All
I am getting a 2013 N7 that will be mounted permanently into my car.
I'm looking for app suggestions etc to get the best experience possible out of it in this function.
I will be using it mainly for Music/Emails/Navigation and maybe the odd video etc.
- What Car App's would you all recommend? I have started trying this one IG88 Car Dock Home (sorry I can't post a link, its on google play though)
Which looks good so far (testing out on my S3), I can manage to get it looking nice with a button for navigation and a widget for my gmail. The main thing I'm looking for to make this Car app better is a large music player widget? I currently use Mixzing, but the play/forward buttons are too small on the widget for this Car app.... Does anyone know of any music players that have a massive button widget? All I really need to see is play/pause, skip and the band and song name on the widget. Nothing else really?
- I will be getting a microphone installed (hopefully in the steering wheel). So is there any decent voice control apps? For this I imagine I would love to control music, and navigation. And maybe dictate emails perhaps by voice?
- I plan to make a wifi hotspot on my phone when ever I get into the car (so the tablet can use my mobile internet for navigation/emails). Is there a way also to take my calls from my phone through the tablet (and thus through the car speakers and microphone?
- I am planning to look into Tasker to set all this up to run smoothly. Like when the car gives the tablet power, to bring it out of sleep mode, turn things on and start the car app etc. Is there a way to do this on my phone (currently S3), so that when I get in the car, my phone automatically starts a wifi hotspot?
- Would there happen to be an andriod accessory that could send play/pause/skip commands to the tablet? Like a remote control I guess. As I could gut this and mount it into the steering wheel?
Lots of questions I know, there will probably be more to. The main one is the music widget to be honest, that car app looks pretty good as long as I can get the music control widget buttons big enough for ease of use in a car. (I'd almost be willing to pay someone to develop a little music control widget if its not that hard)
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Thanks for ths suggestion. Ill check it out, though it doesn't look to be what I'm after as I dont need a speedo etc.

Have you tried Car Home Ultra? Awhile back I was following mp3car.com and he was using that on his head unit, I've used it before but you'd have to try it yourself to see if you like it.
As far as getting your phone to start tethering automatically; if your car always stayed at the same location it'd be easy, but the only thing I can think of is using an NFC tag to swipe your phone by, or lay on, when you get into your car. And use Tasker from there. There's got to be something better though with two devices knowing they're in close proximity in some instances, I don't know.
For the wireless audio controls... Sixaxis would work, but you'd have a ps3 controller floating around your ride. And your bluetooth would be tied up.
Edit : Here is a good read.

Nexus 7 Custom Dock
heres my nexus 7 car install
GMD Gesture Control
Tablet Talk
Zooper Widget Pro
Media Utilities
Tasker
Secure Settings
Car Mode Control
Car Home Speedometer
ADWLauncher EX
No Lock
that about sums up my app list for car use
---------- Post added 28th November 2013 at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was 27th November 2013 at 11:56 PM ----------
follow up to my post
use zooper and media utilities to make a large widget for music metadata and cover art
use gmd gesture control to make gestures for play/pause next and previous shortcuts from media utilities
gmd gesture control will also have gestures to pop up 5 different docks that you can put whatever apps you want on, they hide as soon as you select something \
best thing about gesture control is that you can do the gesture anywhere on the screen from any app on the screen so you can play/pause skip or back track while maps is on the screen or any other app, so rather than looking for a music widget with bigger buttons just use gesture its far superior
Car Home Ultra is a great dock app for a standard dock but I find creating your environment yourself far more rewarding and more informative, standard docks rely on making big easy buttons I like having no buttons and being able to use everything i traditionally use a home screen for on any screen I am looking at whether its maps gmail pandora play music or even the play store I can launch my docks with that app open
going to make another video of my dock using gesture control and will link it here as well

I've gone the way of a full fledged car pc a few years back...
http://www.mp3car.com/show-off-your-project/150890-toyota-camry-2007-white-beauty.html
I've come out of it a fabricator, but realized what features are important in a car entertainment system and what are... fluffy.
1. Find a way to control as the driver. No one will use this system more than you.... while you drive. I had grand ideas of air mouses and fancy keyboards, but IMO nothing can replace a few well though out buttons as near to you as possible. If your car has built in steering wheel controls, but this!
http://www.rcjoycon.com/base_3/menu_10.php?com_board_basic=read_form&menu=10&com_board_idx=14
even if it doesn't buy a few resistive switch buttons and this board will still work. You can map the keys to do whatever you want them to do on your tablet.
2. audio quality.
If you're rocking stock audio basic system, bluetooth would suffice. but if you've put any money into your system then bluetooth is just such a sacrafice in fidelity. Some people are using digital to analog converters. I've always been able to get excellent quality from the 3.5mm.
3. OTG cable.
currently there is very limited support of this feature of the gen 2 nexus 7. Elemental kernal provides support, but especially with the new release of 4.4 it's working through buts. But i feel relieable otg/charging y cable is essential this provides:
a. slot for removable storage
b. periferasl (mouse, keyboard, joycon)
c. reverse camera
d. charging
4. Apps
-n7 player
-audio glow wallpaper (SOO slick)
-google experience launcher (GEL), incorperates translucent nav and status bars which adds a lot of vertical screen, excellent voice command integration (good for driving).
-nexus media importer
-Torque (need correspondingblue tooth module)
...still working on this list myself
5. Freedompop (should be number 1, can't believe i forgot this)
I bought a wireless hot spot device from them for 40$. It was a sale, it includes 1 month of free 2gb internet. BUt this is they key... after the first month you can continue to use 2gb of data for 20$ montly, or downgrade to 500mb... FOR FREEE.
Will you be streaming videos, no of course not, but this would allow ample bandwidth for the important activities in a car, namely: navigation google maps, plenty of data to browse with, and even moderate music streaming.
I did the whole create hot spot with phone thing for a bit and phone gets hot, drains battery like nuts, and i never figured out a way to automate it.
It is SOOO nice to just have one dedicated device that sits in the car and provides free internet for not just me but guests.

Wow thanks guys for the responses, seems I have a lot to work through.
I think I'll tackle one question at a time.
So it seems that I need to set up this OTG cable thing.
My questions is, I need to have the power permanently attached to the microUSB port of the Nexus (otherwise it will go flat haha). From google a OTG Y Cable is what I need as it can charge and give usb data at the same time?
I have searched and searched around NZ sites (I live in NZ) and I can't seem to find one, I can find plently of OTG cables, but not one with a USB for power and USB for devices.
So after more googling it looks like I could go down the OTG cable to Powered USB hub path? With a powered USB hub would I be able to plug the power supply into one USB port, and then a remote/memory stick etc into the others? Would this provide charging and use at the same time?
In regards to powered USB hubs, do you guys know of any well known products that I can use in a car environment? (voltage and all that)?
Thats it for now, its all quite complicated and confusing to me so I'll just ask one topic at a time
Thanks in advance

I understand what you are doing but couldn't you use a unlocked n7 (im sure you got your n7 already). And with kitkat and google always on would you have a need for a lot of the add ons. I,was thinking of doing the same thing. So I will follow this thread for a while.

Well I'm certainly keen for some physical buttons on the steering wheel. I am installing it into a Mazda Atenza dash navi compartment thing replacing the not functional japanses navi screen. Its a bit of a reach from the drivers seat so basic media controls would be awesome in the steering wheel.
And to use that thing for steering wheels I would need a spare usb port (as well as charging).
I just ordered a Y cable OTG from Ebay (that ships to NZ woo) but that might take awhile so I am going to have the car installation guys install everything so I can access it through the glove box. So I can set this up later.

About the accessories to control music play/pause/fwd/red:
I know of two options:
1. Paired Pebble watch (unfortunately it only pairs with one device so you would have to manually pair it of you also wanted top use with your phone)
2. Paired Bluetooth audio control in the car (mine only pairs with one device) like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009NLTW60/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1385907362&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
I use 1. With my phone and 2. With my tablet and have a switch installed so I can control where the audio is generated from to my car speakers.

It is, but it has controls on it. Play/pause by a push on the device itself, fwd/rwd on the top edge. It controls Google play music without any kind of set up. Though you probably have to start it on the tablet first, I'm not sure if it can start the music app too like the pebble does. They both use Bluetooth to connect and control.

Ah ok didnt see the controls, so that 2nd one can connect to the tablet (which has all the music and music player on it) and can control the music? So there's no need to actually plug it into anything as the controls are all sent via bluetooth?
But I wont be able to pair it to my phone at the same time right?
This might be a good way to go as it doesn't require massive cable work.
Edit: Ah I see, no I dont think this will work... The Nexus 7 tablet sound out will be connected directly to the head unit under the dash (hard wired). What I need is something to bluetooth media controls to the tablet, and the tablet to send out sound to the head unit like normal. I think this thing takes the sound via bluetooth to the kit thing and then the kit thing plugs into the aux port on the head unit?
Would it be possible to just not plug in the kit thing? And have it just send media controls but not recieve sound?

The Nexus 7 is getting mounted into the dash professionally so I don't need a mount, I'm currently investigate ideas on how to get controls onto the steering wheel for the media part of the tablet.
You say "disable Media Option on your phone in bluetooth"
Would this mean that I could use the bluetooth handsfree kit suggested above as a controller only? With the sound still going out the tablets 3.5mm jack?

Scosche Universal Bluetooth Handsfree
a cheap bluetooth media controller, just make sure when its paired you unselect media from the bluetooth properties

My tablet is not permanently installed, but needs no wires. The Bluetooth kit connects to the car's aux in jack, and the N7 connects to the Bluetooth kit wirelessly via bluetooth. So you can have sound through the car speakers whether the tablet is docked, in your coat or purse or wherever. I also have a home made version of a qi charger dock, to avoid dealing with usb charging wires when I need the display. (It barely charges so i need to improve on that). I don't know how this would change for a permanent install. I do have a switch to control input to my aux in jack, because my phone dock audio is connected to that also. You may be able to rig up something but its beyond what I know.

I've heard that bluetooth audio is bad though.
I sent an email to Kinivo about that product, and they replied back saying they tested my scenario in their lab and it worked, so I might be going down that route after all.
