Use iPhone In-Line Controls with Android!

I found this really neat tutorial on how you can make the in-line controls for iDevice intended headphones to work with Android. I haven't tried it yet, as I want to make sure I find a backup cable for my headphones in case anything goes wrong. I may also just try to find some crappy iPhone buds to try it out on first.
All you need is a steady hand. So here is the how-to link:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Galaxy-Nexus-and-others-headset-remote-with-medi/#step1
If anyone does this I would love to hear how it works, as it would be awesome to finally have the volume controls working on my headphones.
It does list incompatibility with the Galaxy S, but doesn't mention the SII, and it does work with Galaxy Nexus, and the Note, so I'm assuming it will work with the SII.
If anyone tries this out, definitely post your results!

It works with any headphones that have a mic, just check on the box because some will say if they say if they are compatible with Android features,. The ifrogz work really good! But i do have a pair of the inline iphone control head phones well give them a shoot and see how it works and try the way you posted

+1. I had to install a signed headset mod to my rooted device to get it working though. Although, initially I used JAY's Headset Controls until they kept crapping out with the volume. Now I use the app recommended above. I bought it and it is worth it.

Yeah but I believe that only enables the center button. I want all 3 buttons to work.

Did you try a different headset? My bluetooth headphones can play/pause, track up/down, control volume

However, volume up and down will never work unless it was specifically designed for the android.

LG tone hbs-700 is what I use. It even came with a free app to read your texts to you, even tho I never tried it.

(Q) Dre Beats & Ludacris Soul

Is there any way to get these ear buds working on the xplay? They both work on my Droid X and a Rezound (obviously) , PSP, wife's iPhone. Even tried the adapter that came with my xplay and it does nothing.

That would be correct. I've tried iBeats, Tours and the SL99 Soul from Luda and they all give me the "accessory not supported " error. If i use the adapter that came with the phone then I don't get the error but the sound plays from the phone speaker instead.

I've been there. I have some Beats in ears myself and they never worked. I even bought some Sony ear buds and even with the adapter they still don't work and give that same "accessory not supported" error. I've tried both of those, Bose QC2's, Sennheiser HD 201's and the only ear phones that ever worked in my play was my Samsung ear-bud w/ microphone headset from my old Samsung Omnia i900.
I saw on here a while ago that there is a fix. It has something to do with the polarity from plug being backwards (or something)...

I think Sony could've polished some things out a little better for this phone. Big one being support of accessories like these headphones since other android devices support them. Even ones made before this phone.

I agree! I even tried using my old HTC Aria headphones(which I still like better than new earbud crap) with my play and I get "not supported" message, so I know how ya feel. I think i would be kinda pissed if I can't use my newer expensive Beats Headset(if I had them).

[Q] Sol Republic Amps HD volume button on Android device?

Is anyone know how to make the volume buttons work on Android cellphone?? (I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T version)

Awwww damn it! Why only for Apple!! anyway thanks for the reply, and hopefully there will be some program to make it works later

Apple makes their own standard for headphone controls when there is already a standard utilized by every other phone in existence.

I remember reading a thread explaining how to change some of the button mapping for android (may involve a text editor if you're familiar with them).
That may be what you're interested in. Of course try the app mentioned above too.

Mass storage and car stereos.

I started with a HTC Evo and loved the mass storage option since 99% of car stereos are iOS supported only. But the mass storage was a plus because I was able to still plug my evo in via usb on my stereo and see all my songs listed.
Upgraded to S3 and was a little actually a lot upset that mass storage is not supported. Sure I could blue tooth my s3 but don't want the hassle of looking down at my phone and searching through songs. I was speaking with my buddy at Best Buy and he said in 2013 car audio suppliers are going to roll out full Android supported stereos.
Just thought I would share in my frustration with no mass storage options.

There are already head units that support android out for about two years now, look on crutchfield's site.

App radio 2 only works with one Pioneer unit. So no problem not solved.

I was as well rather disappointed that neither the stock HU in my Jeep nor the aftermarket HU in my work truck interfaced with my GS3. Luckily all of my music is on my iPhone, which works great with with of them. To be honset, that's the only reason I bought an iPhone.

Are you looking for a single din, don't prefer pioneer? I don't get it, yes it is one unit and there is an app in the market that mirrors the phone through the radio so you don't have to worry about mass storage for music since you can stream it or use whats on the phone.

Do you really expect us all to go buy a new head unit...?

I had the same issue on a Sony Xplode (something like that) car deck that was designed for Crapple via USB.
When I had my music on my SD card the deck would not read it via USB. I moved the files to my Internal storage and have been using it ever since. Can see artists, albums and song names.
I'm Stock Rooted.

I have a pioneer unit already. My point is I don't feel like paying $500+ for a pioneer unit for my phone. I like pioneer very much but they have only one unit and I'm not dishing out all that money. Get it now?

Sure, looks like your best bet is blue tooth then, a pain yes unless you have an ipod for music.

I've seen apks listed that re-enable UMS mode for the GS3, but I don't know if it's just for the international version or if it will work on the Sprint version. You may want to do a google search on UMS and GS3.
