I have a pair of Nokia WH-701 headphones
nokia.co.in/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/headsets/wired-headsets/nokia-stereo-headset-wh-701
(removed "www" so that this would be a valid noob post and no this isn't spam )
And the buttons(volume,call,play/pause etc) on these headphones don't work on my GT-I5800..Is there any way(maybe an app?) to make them work with our phone???
Is this an issue only with these particular headphones or is this the same for all headphones?If it is so then it would be of great help if our devs could cook up an app to make these compatible with our phone
Thanks in advance
P.S.: This is my First post so please forgive me if its in the wrong place
I dont think the buttons will work .. its a wired headphone so the harware is not supported.. had it been a bluetooth one then it would have been possible..
Yep, it shouldnt be possible to use the buttons.
No, it shouldn't work. It can't.
First of all, android doesn't support previous/next/volume buttons, only single button with multiple press options (single/double/triple, slow and long press). HERE you can find remote functionality for all android music players and some non-android as well, using standard headphones with single action button.
Below there is a table called 'P Version Compatibility'. It lists all of the android phone models that are compatible with standard TRRS (4 pin) jack. As of standard jack I'm thinking about that one which is compatible with iPhone and most of the music players (pins as follows: T, R1, R2, S). There is no Galaxy 3 specified in that compatibility table, which means it has kind of proprietary port.
In this proprietary port the microphone and ground pins are reversed (pins as follows: T, R1, S, R2). Many Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones are equipped with it, so they are not compatible with standard headsets mic/button functionality.
To be able to use this additional functionality you have to use Samsung's headset bundled with i5800 or similar (as of headset jack) phone or use TRRS to TRSR adapter, like THIS one.
In this case buttons and mic are totally incompatible with android OS, despite the fact that both (phone and headset) have the same (propably) pins layout.
To sum it up:
- you can use mic/button in Galaxy 3 only with specific Samsung/Nokia/Sony headsets or using adapter.
- you can (try to) listen to music on 4 pin TRSR device using TRRS headset, but mic/button won't work, and sound most probably will be heavily distorted. And vice versa.
- you can listen to music without any problems using any 3 pin jack (no mic/button) in any 3 pin or 4 pin device.
- not sure about both of 4 pin jacks in 3 pin port.
For example Samsung Galaxy S had Samsung's proprietary port, Galaxy S2 has standard port. Life has just become easier
Hello guys
My original earphones were broken and I thought that it would be a good idea to try again samsung's but another model this time.So I went for galaxy's note earphones that I found at ebay which says that is fully compatible with i5800
The fact is that they don't work properly. Their sound is very "deep" and when you are listening music singer is inaudible.The weird thing is that if I press the button for accepting/ending calls the problem fixes.
At first I thought that if I did some kind of "patent" to keep the button pressed everything would be fine( I use earphones mainly for music and not for calls) but if I keep the button pressed when I insert the jack earphones are not detected.
Finally I contacted the seller who told me that the one that they sent me were broken and sent a replacement but those have also the same issue.
Has anyone else the same issue?Can I do anything to fix this problem or it is a matter of compatibility so nothing can be done?
It's all written in my post above. Galaxy S2, S3 and Note use standard headset jacks, while older devices, like ours, do not. You can use only special Samsung's (or other OEM) TRSR earphones, e.g. from i5800/i5801/i9000, to be able to use remote control button. Every headset without button will work as well.

Sorry mate don't get angry with me.I asked for further info because the name of earphones at ebay was "
GENUINE SAMSUNG WHITE STEREO HANDSFREE FOR i550 I5500 I5510 i560 I5700 I5800" but undoubtedly looks alike those of galaxy note.(forum don't let me post the link of the product)
So I was wondering whether it was a fixable problem or not
Cool, I'm a very calm person.
The seller most probably doesn't know about this issue, it's typical all over the world (sellers' lack of knowledge). That's what forums are for, since OEMs didn't want us to use headphones other than bundled ones in the first place (audio ports are much more unified nowadays, thankfully).
So the answer is: no, it's not fixable. The only way to use in-line button is to buy a specific headset that works properly with i5800 (bundled ones or other that are proven to be working with proprietary TRSR port).
Good luck.
Edit: Try EHS48ESOME.
ok then I have to go for the same ones that was provided with the phone although I wasn't satisfied with their quality.Sound was very good but I faced serious problems with the speaker and in order for the others to hear me I had to hold it near my mouth.
That was the reason why I decided to buy another model.Of course I didn't know that it wasn't compatible with my device
Anyway thank

So coming from from Sony Ericsson x10 previously and having only used the stock earphones supplied with my galaxy nexus I have a question I was hoping someone may be able to answer.
On my x10 Sony used some kind of non standard 3.5mm jack for headphones and it had this issue where certain headphones would not play music properly unless the mic button was presed or other wise perminently held into the pressed position, something to do with rings on the 3.5mm jack. Headphones advertised for iPhones or blackberry would not work unless the mic button was pressed perminatly but if the button was pressed then audio play back would be fine.
So my question is does anyone know if this issue is present or not on galaxy nexus?

Yeah I have the same prob with my Xperia mini headphones,if the mic button is pressed they work good,if not they sound like a bad FM station but with my big jvc PC headphones it sounds great. I think its something software related or maybe the wires are different.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
The nexus supports the mobile headset standard which includes mic and single button. So any set like bose MIE2 will work. But i bet your sony headset will give the same problem then...
Hi everyone this is the first time I post a thread here. I am from Hong Kong and I really hope that someone can ogive me some advice.
Recently I want to buy a earphone with mic for my Docomo SH 12C. I have tried to use the headphone shipped with the Galaxy Nexus, and it works fine. I can use the mic button to play/stop my music player, but when I tried to use the earphone from Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, it doesn't work, giving out distorted sound until I press the mic button.
So does it mean that earphones that works with Smsung phones should work on my phone too?
Also I have spotted some earphones that I am interested, can anyone tell me will their mics be usable on my phone, and which of the following is better or worth the money?
1. Monster N-ergy with universal controltalk
2. Klipsch S4a
3. House of Marley earphones with mic&1 button
4. Any other suggestions?
Thanks for all of you guys and have a nice day!
Hey folks, quick question...
Does anybody out there knows if Sony's line of IPhone-compatible headsets is also compatible with the SGS2? Particularly the DR-EX61iP (image attached).
I've always been quite a fan of Sony's in-ear earphones and I use them with my S2, but I've always missed the very handy mic and button than comes with the stock earphones shipped with the S2 (which, in my personal opinion, are decent earphones, but lack the audio quality that Sony earphones have) and I've noticed some of these headsets Sony has been manufacturing exclusivelly for the IPhone/IPad/IPod line.
Now, the only reason why I'm asking you guys is that here in Brazil there is only one model of Sony headset available by an absurd price (the DR-EX12iP, around R$ 100,00 or US$ 50,00) and I've been thinking about importing the DR-EX61iP, which, with brazilian customs, will probably take a while to get here...
So, I've been wondering if anybody out there has ever tried one of these Sony IPhone-compatible headsets with our SGS2 and checked if at least the earphones work properly as well as the mic and the central (or "home") button - I don't really care about the volume control...
Thanks in advanced...

Thanks mate. Since I never had any contact with urbeats, HTC or Nocs headsets or headphones before (quality-wise, I mean) I'll look into Sony's Smart Headset for purchase online. Since Amazon won't ship the DR-EX61iP to Brazil and it is not available here, I'll look into it a bit further before purchasing it on eBay.
If in the end I decide to try the DR-EX61iP, I'll let you know if at least the mic and the central function button work (I've done some research and for what I've read, the volume buttons probably won't work, but that's OK, my S2 is always in my pocket)
Thanks again

Also HTC RC-E160, Samsung GH-59-11721A / EHS64AVFBE (black) and GH-59-11720A / EHS64AVFBE (white).
Hey folks, just want to let you all know. Sony's DR-EX61iP is compatible with our beloved SGSII. The mic and central buttons work like a charm, but the volume buttons do NOT (then again, a wired headset is almost always close in arm's reach). My guess is that all of the Sony "IPhone-exclusive" headsets aren't all that much exclusive and may work with our SGSII as well.
One thing I was quite pleased is that PowerAmp also works well with it (my guess is it works well with all compatible headsets, though)...
Anyway, I just wanted to shared this with you all.
Best regards.

I can confirm that, i've been buying headphones meant for iphone/ipod and had no problem with the middle button. Of course, for reasons given by thelastred, volume up and volume down do not work. This being said, i have heard that there are headsets with volume down and volume up working on sgs3 (made by samsung afair). I was wondering if these work on sgs2 as well. in fact, it would be cool to list headsets with volume up/down working with sgs2.
(if a thread like this exists, sorry for this ;D)

Hey guys
I've tried alot of earphones
iBeats
BeatsPro with CT
Sennheiser MM30i etc.etc.
None of the volume +/- buttons work, but it works perfectly on iphone...
Anyone got any ideas, links etc for a pair of earphones?
Besides that, earphone thread!
What earphones do you use with the Z1? Is it good?
I'm using sony's SBH50 and i really enjoy them.
The iOS headsets don't work because there is some chip in them that controls the buttons which works only with iOS, the call button works without it.

I bought the Sony Earbuds (MDREX100IP) and obviously they don't work with volume keys. That is just ridiculous. You spend a lot of money for one if the most expensive phone out there and you cannot get the most basics functions. Just sick.

Hi,
I've got a Bose ae2 headset and the same problem: volume keys do work on ios but not on android, whatever your device is.
I've tried several smartphones (htc, Samsung, sony) and none of them handle those keys.
I've also tried Smart Keys but i don't see any option relevant to volume keys.
I quit trying to solve that because i think it's just hardware, on the headset side.
Maybe with the fact that Android devices greatly outnumber ios devices, sennheiser, bose and others will reconsider this problem on future models.

This right here :good:
Wut
I'm using the earphones that came with my sister's s4. All of the buttons work with ALL functions (pause, play, vol +, vol -, double tap next song, triple tap previous song, long press setting)
Asked this question on Google+ and other Xperia owners mentioned the Sony Smart Headset MH1C will work with Z1, with all functions (mic, play/pause, track changes, volume). Sadly, this headset appears to be have been discontinued but you might be able to find on Ebay.
I find it somewhat ridiculous that Android smartphones can't agree on some sort of standard, like there is on iPhone/iPod. The one thing I miss most when I switched from iPhone to my Z1 is the inability to control the volume on my headphone remote. And trying to find a compatible set is nearly impossible, whereas every headphone maker out there makes compatible sets for iPhone/iPod, including Sony themselves!
I have the MH1C, as it came with my phone and can confirm that it works no problem. All buttons including vol down, vol up, answer/play/pause as well as the mic function properly.
Has any of you heard or tried Fiio LU2 adapter?

I have not had a chance to test it myself and there are mixed reviews about it. Supposedly it does exactly what you need, meaning you can use iphone earphones on android phones.

I am actually using Sennheiser MM70s. I find it to be a very good solution for my xperia z1, the control button works perfectly (next song, last song, pause/play, long press, ...). In addition, its volume button works on its own (it is not controlling the Xperia's volume, but controlling the headphone's volume instead).
I leave the phone volume at 40-50% then controll the output from the headphones.
The sound quality is amazing (specially the bass response),The mic quality is excellent as well.

Thanks for the heads up, might invest in a pair or two of them... (got a alot of earphones already but whatever )
I'll buy the Sony Smart Headset MH1C when I get my Z1 back, thanks @richardchiu
I'll report if it works!
Sony Xperia Z1 refuses all Apple headphones. But most brand headphones can work for Z1.

Absolutely love them. Volume buttons work flawlessly.
Be sure to buy the original ones!

Well, I use Smart Key app, in order to get the earphone button configured the way i want it too. It is not the most complete option, but it worked fine to me.
