[REF] WP7 Compatible Headsets

Decided to start a list of wired headsets that have working in-line buttons / microphones for Windows Phones. Current material is scattered and mostly found in device-specific forums. I hope I am right to assume that all Windows Phones comply to the same standards, though I do know that the HD7 at least does not support forward/backward controls. As a safeguard, I've included "Device" to indicate what phone the headset was tested on.
A lot of the posts I found around the forums are too general and not relating to specific models. I need specifics for this list to work. Please object if a listing is incorrect, or add confirmation if a headset works with your device too. If you are personally testing, be sure to push the jack ALL the way in.

Same with my Omnia 7.
Strangely, it didn't show tags with Sony's own Xperia Arc.

The Focus default headsets
I have purchased like 4 off Amazon only one of the vendors sells the 3 button version, everyone else keeps sending the volume only headset. I think the 3 button headset sounds better.

I'm including skip, pause and backtrack under the "Answer/End" button. AFAIK there are no buds which support one without the other, but I will separate them if I encounter one.

This thread was supposed to be for wired headsets, as Bluetooth ones generally don't suffer from the compatibility issues of the former. However, I'll add Bluetooth headsets to the third post for now.

Will be looking at purchasing the Klipsch S2ms so I can confirm if they work or not. From what I see, they probably will since they are not an iPhone-specific model.
EDIT: went with a standard set of earbuds.

Hello, does that headset have volume controls? The images on Sony Ericsson's website are pretty vague.

Thanks for your input!

Hmm... just read around and it seems Samsung devices might need an adapter for compatibility with most controls.

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good headset (with a mic) for my Verizon Trophy running rtm mango. I really need something with decent quality (with bar with Klipsch image S4I)
And, does anyone has any idea how good is the BOSE MIE2I?
Thanks

Registered just to reply.
I had the same issue, so I called Samsung and and had them get me the correct part number: EHS60AVNBE
After several RMAs, I was finally able to get the correct headphones.

[Q] Monster ControlTalk cable & Xperia Arc compatibility?

Hi
I Own a Headset the Beats By Dr. Dre Solo HD and they come with a monster controltalk cable and I was wondering if this cable will be supported in my device an Xperia Arc as all the research that I've done seams that there is no way that this cable can be supported on the device due to a hardware incompatibility as the Xperia Arc has an OMTP Audio jack and the needed for this cable to work is the CTIA.
Can anyone confirm that this is correct? or if anyone got this cable to work (at least to answer and end calls) to let me know how to have it work on my phone.
My phone is running the stock firmware but it is rooted and the booloader is open.
P.S: I found this thread IDK if this was ever solved (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764469)

[Q] How do I know if my headphones will work with my Play?

I need to replace my Xperia Play headphones and I have been looking online. How do I know if they will work with my Play?
I am looking at these 3 right now. But I am open to any suggestions as long as it is around 45$ with shipping to Canada.
Sony MDR-EX210B
Sony MDR-EX77S
Altec Lansing MZX406
My ideal solution would be something that works with Play and any other future device I own. What headset would you guys recommend and also are there any cheap adaptors if I end up wanting something that wont work with the play.
Also does the Sony Livesound Hifi headset works with other non-sony devices.
Thanks so much to anyone that helps. I want to make an order soon so it ships asap so please help

As of Sony ones, see the compatibility list on their webpage.
As of any other, they most surely won't work as far as they have a buit-in mic.
Now, if you get a headset (not headphone) compatible with your Play, they will only work on SonyEricsson phones, some Nokia and some Samsung before the Galaxy S.
You can buy an adapter, but... well, see this and this.

Any headphones made for the iPhone (including controls, a mic) like the Altec ones won't work. The Sony ones should be fine.

Wireless gamepad for Android

Hello, can you please recommend me a wireless game controller for Android?
If im correct, those which say "2.4GHz" use a small usb receiver that I have to connect to the phone (Arc ICS),
while the bluetooth ones don't need any (which I prefer :good
Im looking for something cheaper than a ps3/xbox360 contoller
Thank you in advance

I have used a wii controller in the past. It connects using bluetooth but obviously isn't a full gamepad. I'm not sure if a classic controller would work with the setup or not since I don't own one to try.

I have a mini (non-Nintendo) Wiimote that I bought for my phone (also an Arc w/ ICS) and while it's great for some things - the Neo.emu emulator works great, for example - for other games/emulators without built-in Wiimote support it's not great, and the apps available for mapping Wiimote buttons to hardware buttons on Google Play didn't work well for me.
I've just ordered one of these, which look good but I'll have to wait and see for myself: http://www.ebellking.com/mini-k6
-edit-
I went for a Gametel in the end, expensive for what it is but good compatibility.

Need advice for Bluetooth Gamepads (8-Bitty doesn't work well)

I just received my iCade 8-Bitty controller in the mail from ThinkGeek. I'm having a bit of trouble getting it to work in the few apps I've tried.
I have successfully paired the device with the tablet, but it doesn't seem to be receiving any inputs from the controller.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35167558
According to this thread, people have used the app BluezHID to get the 8-bitty to work as a keyboard, and successfully map controls in emulators, on the Original N7.
I've tried BluezHID on my 2013 N7 to no avail, i get an error: bt socket connect failed message no matter what I try.
Seems iCade support requires "L2CAP" to work with the Bluetooth stack. Any clue if this is supported on the 2013 N7?
Has anyone else tried the 8-bitty or other iCade sticks on the 2013 N7 yet?
I will keep trying a few other game apps and see if anything works. I'll update this thread as I figure stuff out.
Edit:
Initial tests indicate that the pad connects, is seen, but in MAME4Droid, every button is read as "unknown", making mapping impossible. Will keep trying.
Edit2:
Seems BluezHID will NEVER work as they changed the way Bluetooth connects in 4.2.2 (N7 is at 4.3), it never releases the bluetooth connection. A custom ROM may fix this. *SIGH*
Edit 3:
Seems with 4.3 Bluetooth gamepads are near broken, I need some general advice about using Bluetooth Controllers with the 2013 Nexus 7.

Bump for title change. I need some more general advice with Bluetooth Controllers.

The best bluetooth controller I've found is the the official PS3 controller. If you have a PS3 system then you're all set. If not, you can usually get one for less than $30 brand new. There are tons of knockoffs that can cost about half or less, but it's a hit or miss with those. If you don't care about being wireless, then just get a wired controller, xbox360 controller for example, which is cheaper and will also work.

Hmm, I do have a wired 360 Controller, I would assume a USB to micro-USB adapter is required. Is there any app needed? Does it require root? Is the 2013 Nexus 7 USB-OTG capable?

Tried my XBOX360 Wired controller and a USB to Micro USB adapter that I had lying around, and did not work. Didn't even light up. Granted, I'm not sure if this adapter ever worked, but I have no clue if the 2013 N7 even has the OTG capability.
Any other ideas?

I have the steelseries free that I bought used from eBay at 35.

Well, bought a powered USB Hub and it still didn't work with my OTG adapter, so its obviously at fault. I have another OTG Cable on the way, one recommended by an XDA forum thread, but it won't get here for a month. Blech.
I need to peruse the forums some more and see if there is a good list of Bluetooth controllers somewhere.

I have been using Moga Pro
and I have no complaints, came with a little tablet stand too. I have been using it flawlessly on emulators like Drastic DS and supergnes and MyBoy. Also, it works with the Moga software which is growing it's library of supported games all the time. I love it and honestly it feels better than the PS3 controller in my humble opinion. They just recently released a new line of Moga controllers where they charge youre device while playing, sounds cool but I always carry extra battery packs with me so it's not necessary for me.

Oooooooo. I like. Ordered me one. Thanks for the info! Much better button layout than 8-Bitty, and it says it emulates a keyboard as well, so should work with just about anything. Will be arriving in about two weeks. Will update after testing.

Finally got ahold of my FC30, and I'm sad to report it doesn't work as advertised. Works fine as a USB PC controller, but I have troubles getting it to connect to my N7 (2013) reliably. The touchscreen emulation hasn't worked yet, as it will never successfully connect in the touchscreen emu mode with the included .apk. However, this gamepad has the ability to update the firmware, so its possible to fix these issues.
My conclusion: DON'T BUY. At least until they fix connectivity.

Just got my Moga pro and I have to say it does great for Games that support it directly and with the Universal Driver on the Play store it works great with the emulators I use. Pleasantly surprised that I don't have to be rooted for the Universal Driver to work either. I had been using the Sixaxis app with a PS3 controller up till now but I wanted to see if I really needed to root my new N7 so I grabbed the Moga to try.

Another vote for the Sony PS3 Sixasis controller!! I use a PS3 controller with my Asus Infinity, Note 2, Evo LTE, and of course N7 FHD. Best part is that it works flawlessly with EVERY game too!! Even if the game isn't set to support a controller, you can use the Sixasis app and customize the controller button presses to emulate a screen touch. Absolutely LOVE that feature and ability!! I set some custom game button mappings for some games that already natively support controllers, just because I prefer the button presses to do something different. You can make and save different controller button mappings (just called "maps" in the Sixasis app) for each individual game, or even make multiple maps for each game if you'd like. The app is very flexible and allows you to fully customize everything to your liking! I don't believe there's another controller option out there that offers as much flexibility and in depth customizations as does a Sixasis controller with the Sixasis app!! I'm excited to get the PS4 system and to use PS4 Sixasis controllers with my Android devices!!
Needless to say, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND going with a PS3 controller and the Sixasis app!!!!

I have been using the wired 360 controller for awhile now, for both my PC and Nexus7 (both gens). Works well, though it is a little awkward finding a good spot for the tablet since your hands are both on the controller (unless you have a stand or are sitting at a table).
If you want a wired one then I would high recommend it.
