Since i hated the iphones's original earphones i got myself a Sennheiser CX380 SPORT II. I love the sound of it but i didnt want to lose the ability to control the iphone and talk when it rings so i got a belkin earphone extension for iphone.
Today i wanted to listen music from xoom and pluged my earphones to it. Then accidently i clicked the - volume button and xoom PAUSED! When i clicked it again it resumed.
If any of you use iphone earphones or control extensions you might want to check it..You can pause and resume the xoom from them
I searched for xoom specific earphones with hope that maybe control the voice too but failed.
I just wanted to share this
Yeah, I did that as well. I think of it as a nuisance. Hopefully it means that there's a way to get it correctly working on the xoom
Jabra bt3030. Bought it like three years ago, and I still love it. Works on my xoom flawlessly.
I know theres an app that will disable the headphone controls so you wont have that happen if thats annoying you.
I tried earphones from my mobile, and found i had to hold the call/end call button to get the vocals in the music...
WTF??

I was using the Klipsch S4A's (the Android version of S4i's) just fine with my S3 but realized when I switched to Shure 315s (I bought the phone adapter cable by Shure), the mic would not work, and also the phone call would still go to my phone, even with the ear set plugged in. I have quite a few ear sets lying around, so here's a results round up:
OK:
Tjays Four
Klipsch S4A
NOT OK:
Ajays Four
Shure 315 (well, the adapter cable anyways)
Kplisch S4i
ALL of these headsets worked with my S2.
Does my phone have a problem?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this.
Thanks.
Ken
I just realized my Klipsch S5i don't work with this phone, I'm bummed. So the S4a works properly, mic and everything?
coming from galaxy S , i find that samsung jacks is not universal , even some top end brands like grado , bose headphone doesnt work well
be sure to check compatibility issue before you get any headset , not all work perfectly on samsung jacks

Yes, S4A's work bit not s4i's.
Cheers
I have the same problem with my Klipsch S4i and Sennheiser mm30i, how annoying! All work fine on my HTC desire, S2 just not S3.
Thanks

The mic from my Ultimate Ears 600vi isn't working either.
Works fine on my HTC Desire and Nexus S...
This belongs in accessories

Ugh, same here. My UE 600vi's worked great on my Galaxy Nexus, but now my mic doesn't work on the GS3. However, the center button still works.
I can confirm most i-Phone centric mic'd headphones (especially the ones with 3 buttons) aren't working. Myself I have a TDK EB950 that exhibits the same characteristics - works for music (the middle button only), fails at calls.
Now using a Belkin Universal mic adapter (single button) with it. Works swell no issues.
I suspect the impedence difference is messing with the part that reads the button signals.
my 600vi is a little bit different
my UE600vi works fine with galaxyS2 but not with S3.
funny thing is both earphone & mic works fine when I'm call someone.
but when i RECEIVE a call (when 600vi plugged in) , suddenly my GS3 works as if there's no earphone. (sounds and mic works from the phone, not my 600vi)
i really can't understand why,, i'm using Korean galaxyS3 though. Asked samsung about this, but the reply was "go ask logitech!!!" lol
Since the S4A earphones work, I would assume that the S4A (II)'s will work. If anyone has purchased this new revised set, I'd like to know if this is the case, I might be purchasing some soon.
I have a pair of Audiofly AF45M's that work great. However they do not have a three button remote in-line, only one button for answering calls/pausing/skipping tracks. The mic seems to work well, none of my calls have complained and the few friends I asked said my voice was clear even in noisy environments. I must say that they are the best in ear headphones that I've owned (well should say that they're the nicest pair that I've bought compared to freebies). I know this isn't a thread for IEM reviews but I only mention it because from what I read on head-fi they are a brand new company out of Australia and are making some great products.
I had a pair of Ultimate Ears 350vm's from Costco but I didn't even make any calls with them because I didn't like the sound quality compared to my Audiofly's. So I returned them, the volume slider and the push button seemed to work, but cannot comment on the microphone functionality.
Right now I'm using a pair of Brainwavz M5 (also have the M4) with mic and one button and they work perfectly fine. Also tried the Shure 215 with mic cable (again the one button version, not the iPhone one) a few weeks ago and those also worked without any problems.
There seems to be a hardware thing in the S3 which cause "Made For iPhone" headsets (most notably those with volume buttons) to not function properly...
True!
I've just tested with my Klipsch Image One and S4i. When I call someone, everything works just fine, mic and end call by the center button.
So it must be a Software issue.
Thanks,
Adler
I have the Shure E215 with the phone cable (single button), and it's worked fine, both with stock and CM10. The triple button cable is wired differently.
You're right. I also have a Beats Studio with single button and it also works fine. But since my headphones with triple buttons also work when I initiate a call it must be a software problem.

Hey curious, can you say which belkin universal mic adapter you're using? My powerbeats mic doesn't work and I'm desperate to find an adapter that will restore that functionality to them on my s3. Thx!

More Headset tests
First off, Thank You all, for all the helpful info! I have a set of (awesome) Skullcandy Heavy Medals, and a set of Skullcandy 50/50's, and also a set of some type of Logitech earbuds, all have 3 button mic's, None work as mic's on My Galaxy S3, They all work as headphones, but if trying to answer a call, they need to be unplugged, and plugged back in, to hear a voice, but still no mic, and they all worked on My Galaxy S2, and another S2 HD Lte, (All on Bell mobility Canada), and also worked well on My Nexus 4. The Oem samsung headset works great, including mic and volume up/down, and answer button. Also I have a set of Skullcandy Ink'd, with a single button on mic, and they work fine on S3 as well. My S3 is an Unlocked SGH-i747M originally a Rogers wireless Canada phone.
Thanks again, and I hope this helps someone! :cyclops:
I noticed that some bundled headphones in a phone's box will not be compatible with some other phones...
For ex: I tried my cousin's Nokia In-Ear headphones on my Motorola defy and it didn't sound well (there was the sound of the sides only, like no sound in the centre, with a lot of echo,etc) and the same happens with my bro's Samsung Galaxy S in-ear headphones with my Optimus Black...
The issue is:
A friend of mine is going abroad so I took the opportunity to tell him to buy a pair of headphones for me, principally the Kicker HP1973 and I was wondering if these headphones may have the same problems as with earphones included in phones' boxes...
The Kicker Hp1973 is an Over-the-Ear Headphones without Mic and which fits the iPhone.
Does this issue happen only with bundled headphones?
Aldo I am using the Android powered device LG Optimus Black..
Thank you in advance!!
EDIT: I got the headphones and they are working great!
This thread can be closed I guess
Sony Nokia Samsung Htc all use the same standard as each other so if you have Nokia headset should work on all the phone listed.
As far as I know motorola and lg don't support 3button remote.

Thank much seems like the headphone I'm searching doesn't have any remote button. So I guess there'll be problem right?
I got an iPhone mic with one button off of eBay, ie this one:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/180654215373?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3008wt_934
I tought, for 2$ I'll give it a try!
To my surprise, everything works... Mic is working fine, button is working fine, audio sounds as good as any!
Does anyone else would care to test an iPhone accesorie and confirm that it is working on their device as well?
Even if the mic you bought was marketed as being for iPhones, it is a very standard 3.5mm mic jack.
It's not a "standard" 3.5mm jack, it is a TRRS 3.5mm connector.
The pinout of the TRRS on the iPhone is not the same as most of android devices. So, most of the time, the iPhone accessories won't work on most Android devices. Mic won't work, controllers won't work and sound could be distrorted.
That is why I ask people with iPhones compatible accessories to test it out. If it works, it could mean a whole new possibilities for accesories, like those:

I received one of those phone handsets that plug into the headphone as a gift, and it turned out it doesn't work with my Optimus G. Well, at least now I know...
You mean you received an iPhone headset and tried it on the Optimus G?
Nothing at all works? Or just one specific part?
I tried with a pair of OEM Apple headset, the sound and the control was working, but not the mic nor the vol+/-

Well, it's a phone handset, which plugs into any phone. It's not specifically made for the iPhone. The speaker works, but the mic doesn't.
I just wanted to confirm that my Sony MDR-EX38IP will only work to listen to music, no audio controls and no mic functionality.
Thanks
I bought a hands-free on the iPhone, and arm band sport gym running work holder case for iphone 5
Probably it won't work on other devices.... It's strange that goes on your G!
But if you need something similar i think that if you search you can find it... It must be a normal 3.5jack
Most newer Android phones will be fine with iPhone headsets, at least with partial functionality. The OMTP (Sony and LG, some Samsung) standard was phased out beginning last year, and most new phones will use the CTIA plug standard, which is what the iPhone uses.
Hi guys,
So I've LG G3 D855 with lollipop and i am experiencing a weird problem. I'm using the original earphones that came with the phone but on the earphones the volume buttons, the mid button & the mic as well have all stopped working. I can listen to music using my headphones but I can't speak using my earphones on call as it's mic is not working, I can't change track, can't even raise or lower the volume using earphones buttons.
I am new to this forum. I did search about the problem first but couldn't find an answer here. Anyone knows how to fix it? My phone is not rooted and the problem was there before upgrading it to lollipop too.
Thanks
Anyone? Anything ?
same problem here.
but i found out the the earphones of my Samsung S3 work just fine on the G3 and also the LG earphones work fine on my Samsung Tab S!
So it seems to be a problem with only the original LG earphones on the G3 alltough they are displayed/recognised on the G3 as a headset.

In my case the LG earphones are working with other devices but any other earphone not working on my LG G3. By "not working" I mean the mic, the volume up/down buttons are not working but the sound from earphones is OK (It is OK in case of LG's own earphones too)
Any idea whats going on? and how to solve this irritating issue..
earphone remote troubles
Hi, I wish i had the answer to this but unfortunately, im just another one with a similar situation. First off, I have a sprint LS990 and didnt get any headphones when i bought it back in August 2014 but had a samsung windows phone before my g3, which i had 2 sets of the white HTC earbuds with remotes/mics that i got from nomorerack.com on sale. Anyway, the volume buttons, middle button(pause/skip), and mic all worked perfectly on that phone (Ativ S Neo). When i used em for my g3 though, on stock rom, cloudy 1.2, and BarRin, all the buttons except vol. down worked no matter what i tried. With Lollipop now though, I'm running Barepop rom currently, and all of a sudden the down volume button actually works in addition to all the others. So im just stumped and trying to find out anything that anyone might know about the issue or a fix for it even so i can revert back to my trusty KitKat. Hopefully someone comes across this thread thats got some insight into the headphone issue of the G3.
In the meantime, thanks dev's, for all the great stuff on this website.
Same problem in my G3
I am trying all the earphones ( Samsung,LG,MI,Soundmagic) but nothing is working, the only solution I found is bluetooth earphones. Any other solution ? Bluetooth headsets don't come cheap when you try to find equal quality of your 10$ earphones.
Same problem here.
I tried an Apple headset and Klipsch Image S2a, both works perfect (mic + buttons) with my G Pro 2, but not my G3.
Did anybody try to get it fixed under warranty?
