[Q] Beats By Dr. Dre Tours w/ Controltalk Compatible? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Does anyone know if the Beats By Dr. Dre TOURS w/ Controltalk work with our device?
I know for sure that the volume up and down buttons won't work but I'm just interested in hoping that the microphone and button ability will. All I really need the controltalk for is for answering/ending calls then using the button to pause/play/forward/back my music with Poweramp.
Oh and not sure if this matters, but I'm running AOKP July 15th ROM ICS 4.0.4.
Any input would be appreciated.

Extra MicroPhone? Pause/play Working on my Device.

Well yes also as an extra microphone, essentially for answering calls while listening to music without needing to hold my phone near my mouth with the headphones in. Does the microphone work as well for you when using it for calls?

Headset Volume Controls

After many tweaks my EVO is almost perfect, but I still can't seem to figure out how to control media volume from my headset. I've tried both the ipod headset and the klipsch s4i and neither can control volume from the controls, but play/pause/skip/back do work. Suggestions?
Help please someone.
Someone please help me with this issue.

Why not use a stereo bt headset? Or try the touch slide headset, works on the evo, but I dont remember if it had volume buttons, skip.play ,reverse did have and worked nicely.
Thanks for the response! I'd really rather not have to buy another headset for something as simple as this, and it seems a little ridiculous that HTC/Google would release a product with this limitation. Is there an appropriate app?
there is no support for volume control from wire headphones yet, im hoping that somebody can make a small software package that will decode the vol+/vol- signals and adjust it accordingly..
Im going to be buying ipod headphones myself
This is very sad and one of the little things holding Android back D= Thanks for the response!
I also have the Klipsch S4i headset. I love how it sounds for speech and music. The volume controls worked perfectly when I was trying out the T-Mobile HD7 Windows Phone 7 but I sent that phone back because of the crappy T-Mobile network in my area (San Francisco Peninsula). Now I'm back on my EVO and I have no volume controls. I'd be happy to kick down $10 to any dev who can set this up for me. I'm running the latest Fresh ROM.
I don't suppose anyone has some more advice on this? I picked up playerpro, and I'm now able to play, pause, and skip with my Klipsch S5i headphones, but I can not control the volume, which is a pain to say the least.
Headset Button Controller app gave a bit more functionality (single, double, triple click), but I couldn't get it working and it also didn't have volume support.
Thanks for the comments guys.
CyanogenMod 7 has these features. Single/middle button plays/pauses and next track. iirc, +/- does next/previous track (or might do volume, not entirely sure).
Oh, and 7.1 will be getting a crapton of customizations with the inline controls...

That last link looks like it addresses what I need it to. Do you know if these fixes have been implemented already? That looks more like a suggestion than an implementation.
Anybody have any other ideas? As far as I can tell, CM7 doesn't yet implement the volume and play button controls on newer headphones with in-line controls.

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

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.

sennheiser mm70i earphone

Hi,
I wanna buy sennheiser mm70i earphone. Do their specifications(volume up,volume down, microphone) work in samsung galaxy s II.
Should work fine! Any headphones that work with the iPhone will work with the SGS2
thank you
Sorry but i disagree. I'm using the premium apple earphones and nothing except play/pause works as intended. So it's not a sure thing the Sennheisers will work 100%. I'm actually looking for a fully working earphone set for the SGS2, but so far no luck. if these or any others work that would be great.
work or not work? is there anybody using sennheiser mm70i earphone with i9100?
my headset will arrive on monday.. i'll report..

thanks ALexander.
isn't anybody who have mm70i, use this program for volume button?
I have the mm70, and am having no luck with the volume control. I have just installed android headset and having no luck. It might be something samsung will address in the next firmware update, I think most earphone/mic headsets are having this problem.
Drop me a message, and I will let you know how I get on. I will have a play with app/settings tonight. I am going to try different media players and apps to try and resolve this.
the buttons and the mic do not seem to work on the milestone on 2.2
Does the mic work on the galaxy s II though? IMHO most important thing..

[Q] Headphone remote control

Hi
Are there any headphones / earphones which have a remote control for music control. There are loads of them for the iPhone, but any of them that is compatible with the SGS2?

I'm using "Headset Button Controller" to control a pair of iPhone headphones.
It only works with the center button, but it supports single/double/triple key presses. So it controls: start/stop, and advance to the next song, as well and answer/disconnect incoming calls.
If u r looking for bluetooth ones, just make sure they support AVRCP.
If u r looking for wired ones, most of those vol+/- buttons won't work, but yes, still are compatible.

Posted this on the other thread. Might be of interest to you:
I have a pair of Beats by Dre with Control Talk (for iphone/ipod) and the functionality is the same. The play/pause button works but the vol up/down buttons don't.
Also, I have a pair of Shure 215. They are more bass-prominent than "signature Shure" sound but they don't muffle mids and highs like the Beats do. Anyway, I found these from Earphonesolutions after I got a SGS2.
SHURE SE215A ANDROID & BLACKBERRY COMPATIBLE EARPHONES
(not letting me post a link due to my low post count)
The description says works with "most Android phones" so I guess they're not guaranteeing anything. Too bad I got a pair of those without the buttons before I got the phone. But I thought it might interest some people.
HTC headphone are working great (with all buttons).You can find them anywhere on the internet..
STIL...if i remember well,they are fully working with certain kernels.
Ițm using Nimphetaminețs kernels
I use the Zagg Smartbuds witch works great.
I have a set of the bose ear bud headphones that worked unbelievably on my HTC HD2's and the answer button worked too. with the sII, nothing buttons work and the volume is pretty low.
could an app fix that?
Hey, found this piece of gadgetry - Etynomic MC2. Looks promising, any ideas from anyone about how these are. Apparently they have an Android remote.

I've had the old school Etymotics back in the past, they were great sounding, especially in the high end and mids. However, Etymotics are known to skim on the low end, so if you are a bass thumper, I would avoid unless you can tune the EQ like in Poweramp.
Not sure about the remote working with Android, I've had good customer experience with them, so I think what is listed on their site is true. Though I would email them beforehand to make sure.
Sorry double posting
I am using SE MW600, it can skip to the previous or next track, play and pause, show you the song title, and also show you the phone no of the incoming or outgoing call. The sound quality is good. you should try it out.
I heard Klipsch S4i works well .. I dont have so I cant confirm just browse through the forum you will get it

Weird sound with Non-nexus headphones

Hi.
I'm having a problem with my galaxy nexus. When I'm listening music with the samsung headphones (the ones that came included with gnex) sound is OK.
But, if i use any other headphones (tried with 2 different model of sony headphones) i get a terrible sound, I don't ever hear the singer's voice.
When i press the answer button of my sony headset, sound is perfect.
Does anyone know how to fix it (without hold press answer button obviously )
This happened to me in 4.1.1 bigxie rom and aokp milestone 6. Franco kernel
Thank you.

An isolated issue as far as I can see , I currently run Paranoid and Lean kernel . Use a sony headphone(not a headset) , but its crystal clear sound that comes , Can you check with any other headset/headphone apart from Sony ?

+1 here. Ok with hearphone that comes with the phone. Terrible with a Philips sport headset that works great with ipod.
4.1.1 with franco kernel and BEATS audio
Could it be that it's not plugged in properly? Other headphones work fine for me...
Your headset is wired differently and shorting the speakers which is why you don't hear the singers voice.

Confirmed. I didn't think about it because I tried with tow different models from Sony.
But I just tried with the headphones that came with a Blackberry ... It works great.
Thanks for your replies.
Try plugging it completely, then take out the earphone slightly. You may get it to work this way. I used to do this to get earphones to work on my Nokia dumb music phone.
