skullcandy FMJ headphones??

i bought some skullcandy FMJ headphones that have a mic button and pause button for music, it works on my brothers blackberry tour , but for some reason it doesnt work on my xperia x1, is there a app to make these headphones work, or something to get it going, and i know there has plenty of threads about better volume fix for the xperia, but its 2010 now and just wondering witch one is the best so far..... if anyone can help me with these 2 things, i would appreciate it.. thanks

First things first, do the 3.5mm jack bands line up perfectly, in both location and quantity, with those from oem remote?
I'm assuming not, since it seems as if the skullcandy headphones have 2 buttons (namely pause/play, and the call (hangup/pickup) where as the X1 remote only has the call button.
If however, I'm wrong, and the fmj has the same quantity and location for its bands, then you need to do some searching. There was a program released that intercepts the call button and lets you reprogram it to whatever you like. You'd probably want to find that program, and go from there.

Can I answer calls from the 3.5mm jack??

Sorry if this has been asked before - I searched and could not find an answer.
I am thinking of buying the ZaggBuds which plug into the 3.5mm jack and have an integrated microphone to make and answer calls.
I am hoping that the Sprint Hero allows me to answer calls using the 3.5mm jack?
Thanks!

yes. In fact it even works for just speakers plugged into the jack. Just have to use the phones microphone in that case.

If I recall correctly, and IPhones headset lets us control volume and music threw it - I assume calls would be answered in the same manner.

I have a pair of $50 Scosche Headphones that have a built in mic and volume control but i can't get them to work properly with my phone. When i plug them in, its shows the headset with the mic, but when i use them within a call no one can hear me. I can hear them but thats it.
There isn't a setting within the phone is there? is it just that my heaphones aren't compatible?

I plug the 3.5mm into my car speakers and phone calls play over the system...just have to speak into the phone microphone. I would assume it would work the same with headphones.

It has to be a regular headset with a single plug for it to work. The iPhone earbuds work great for example, the mic on those is way better than the internal mic on the Hero.
As far as using a button on the headset to answer calls, I'd also like to know how to program that button. I'd like to be able to press it and have it pull up voice search.

The way it's programmed on the iPod Shuffle is to pause (in our case, also answer calls) and long-press for voice options. The middle button of course. I don't think the volume buttons on the iPhone headset work on the Hero.

To be honest it all depends on the headphones like I have the Epic 4g headphones and it doesnt work well. You might have to buy HTC headphones for compatibility.

I have the Epic 4g head phones and they work perfectly for me. I am able to answer calls as well as navigate my music with them. <3 those headphones.

If your headphones arent working Google this:

I got a noisehush headset and works great for voice and stereo. My old HTC headset I got with the tmo wing is on its dying day.

xda + android + htc =

I have a pair of headphones with a button and mic in the head set. I press the button to start/stop music as well as answer/hangup calls

I have the Zagg buds and they work great with the hero. I can press the answer button the button on the volume adjuster that are on the buds and it works like a champ.
Great headphones!

I bought a pair of Sony head phones for the Iphone to use on my HTC Hero thinking that they would work because it had volume control and built in microphone but all their good for is listening to music...

I use Thermaltake eSports Isurus headphones. They're in-ear buds with a mic on the line. The use a single 3.5mm TRRS plug to connect to phones, and have a TRRS to TRS headphones + microphone splitter for plugging into a computer. They work great with my HTC Hero.
They have an on-mic button, but I haven't played with that to see if it'll auto-answer if I push it. I'm more the 'plug the headset in after i get a call' kinda guy.

yes

Headphones with remote control

Hello, I would like to have better headphones for my htc hd2 and would like the headphones to have the volume and music controls. So far, I haven't found such headphones yet, and also, will the remote control be functional on the hd2?
Which models would you suggest? I was also thinking of buying the nokia remote control for headphones and to attach whatever headphones you want, but still, will the remote be usable on hd2?
Any suggestion is appreciated.

May be you can customize & combine the idea (volume & remote control).
I've made a thread about fixing a headset that you can use to customize the headset
[GUIDE] Fixing Audio Jack + Wiring Info

Oh, nice idea, but I would prefer something to buy and to be ready to listen

So far,I've searched & I can't find similar product
So,my suggestion is the closest option

Hi, I'm using bluetooth headphones BACKBEAT-903 and work perfect, you have music, volume and call control. For a wired option I have the ZAGGsmartbuds allow play/pause music, call last number and have volume control, the price isn't cheap but if you get a 50% off code is more reachable.
sorry, I cannot put the links because I'm newbie. For Backbeat check in ebay and for smartbuds in zagg.com.

As I see there is no microphone at all in this headset, only volume button!

im considering to buy new Philips Citiscape Downtown
i heard great reviews of it and it have controls too.
for who likes good sounds, its $99 on amazon.

Try to download Jays Headset control app and its free, and see if it works, i manage to fix mine using the default headset, change single click to next track because the double click dont work with Gingerbreads only in Froyo
But yeah im looking also for a good earphone with complete, mic, next, play/stop, ff, volume keys control like those on Sony W8 walkman.

Headphones And Mic

Hello,
Although I like my One, the battery and bad camera have to go. Thinking about the G2 but both trips to verizon and att stores left me a bit disappointed. I use Bose In Ear MEI 2 headphones. The One let me use the mic and button on headphones (Jay's Headset Control), however, when using it with the LG mic did not seem supported and even Jays headset control couldn't get the buttons to work for music.
Do you have any experience with these headphones?
Additionally if these don't work are there any headphones that will work letting me speak via mic and use controls for music? I hate taking out the phone everytime I need to change a song.
Thanks!:good:

I just got these today from best Buy Mobile
LG HBS730 Tone+
Now I don't even have to touch my phone. And the battery is lasting from what I see. I might do a full review another time (tons of them on youtube). But ALL features of this headset work including FF and Rewind. Had to take a call with them and the headset vibrated and my caller had no issue with hearing me since they have noise cancellation features.
They said you can connect 2 devices to these things. From reviews, one reviewer had this connected to his phone and his PS3 at the same time. Which is a plus to me so I wouldn't have to disconnect from one device to use it on the other. For music, since I use Viper4Android and the volume boost hack, music sounds great (couldn't tell you from default as I'm not a fan of default volume on Android phones)
But I can testify all controls work and, since both the headset and the G2 are apt-X capable, audio quality is really good (said this earlier I know).
Oh, there is an app that LG makes called BT Reader+ that will read to me any text message or notification I get. Comes in handy when I don't even want to touch my phone to respond to a text right away. Unfortunately, you can't respond unless you use Google Now or Voice command.

I dont understand why your bose wouldn't work. Unless they are designed for the iphone? I have a pair of phonak 122s that have just the single button and they work.

They were designed for the iphone, however they work on my htc one. I originally got them for the iphone.

Looks like it was a bad pair of headphones, my girl stole mine and I used yours, (same ones) one pair worked one didn't, bought the phone can't wait to test it, headphones work nice and proper.
