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:
//code.google.com/p/toggleheadset/ download the widget and install

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.

[Q] Bluetooh Controls

I have a Jabra BT3030 and paired it with my Galaxy S.
Stereo sound works fine, but my gripe is that none of the bluetooth controls work (back, pause/play, forward). I tried this with another headset (altec), but is still doesn't work. The volume controls work fine though.
Has anyone experienced this?
Is this an android limitation or is it just with the Galaxy?
btw, my firmware is JM7 in case it might be with the firware...

The buttons work fine on my platronics bt. Wait for froyo official as its said to have improved bt headset features

working fine with
Jabra BT8010
Motorola HT820
my car CZ509
and a few other older BT stereo headsets from Sony, Plantonic, etc
I'll suggest to pair it again.
the controls are usually 1 touch for pause/play, double tap for skip next, unless it has its own buttons for that, and... well lots of other combos depending on the buttons setup on the headsets

@allgamer
paired it again and still a no go. it has its own buttons for play/pause, forward, back, volume, answer. basically, its a bluetooth module where i can plug my own earphones.
it's working flawlessy with my omnia hd.
do you know what bluetooth profiles our galaxy s supports?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

not exactly, but i do know it supports all the standard stereo, a2dp, avrcp, file transfer, contacts, GPS, phone calls, the only things not supported are HID mouse and keyboard

hmm... something doesnt add up... maybe the rom since i havent tried it with prev firmwares. i'll try pairing again.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I have the same issue. Use SBH650 bt. But it appears only in standart player. I also use Ambling Player for audio books and it works fine with it. My firmware is JM2. Re-pairing doesn't solve this issue.

I'm using Sony Ericsson MW600 & DS980.. both seems fine..

still no go for me... seems the answer/end key does work, as well as the volume keys. so only my playback, fw/rew key don't work. but when i press them, the screen lights up and the touch buttons light up too. i'll try experimenting with a diff player and see if it's just with the samsung misuc player.
OT: DaRkMyk, where'd you get the SE MW600? I've been looking for that for a while now.

MW600 and Galaxy S
I see that a few people use the MW600 with the Galaxy S. I recently bought a MW600, the device is paired to the phone, plays music fine with all the controls working. It is also the default calling device. And this is where I have a problem, when I make or receive a call the called/calling party can hear me clearly but I can't hear anything. I have turned up the volume to max, I have also reset the MW600 and repaired it with the device, turned off the wi-fi on the Galaxy S,. Basically tried most of the solutions that are available. Has anyone else had this problem. I tried the MW600 with some other phones (Nokia X6) and had the exact same problem.

@aridoasis I bought mine here in singapore for S$118. I don't know if it is available there in the Philippines, but you can always buy from eBay & it's also cheaper.
@sandsri I never experienced that problem, have you tried your MW600 on other mobile phones?

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.

Bad bluetooth quality (A2DP)

Hey guys!
I listen music every day, that's very important stuff for me in my phone. I used X10 & PowerAmp + SE Aino headset (like MW600) and there were no problems... But now I notice, that there is a very bad lag - low bitrate while listening music in my Note. This problem is common, for example:

When I am on the phone, the quality is even worse, it is kind of distorted.

Confirm. Sound over a2dp is terrible. Cyanogen mod help for this in same case.

Ok, I thought I'd leave a quick comment because I only use Bluetooth for my listening please and do so on a daily basis on my commute to work (bluetooth headphones) and I have two bluetooth speakers that I use whilst at home.
I previously owned a HTC Desire HD and both the G-Note and the Desire HD have the same high quality bluetooth A2DP.
What file quality are you using? And have you tried the standard audio player?
I have noticed lag when watching movies and connected to bluetooth, but that's about it.

I tryed with Power Amp & stock player - there is no difference. Of course I'm using Mp3 with 320 Kbit\s!
Look, same files, same headset, same player, but the sound in X10 much-much better than in the G Note.

I'm using A2DP with my nokia BH-905i and it sounds great. Could the audio be playing through the headset profile instead of the stereo A2DP profile?

It's nice idea, but the audio is stereo and that means that the audio is going through the A2DP profile...

I usually pair my SGN with Sony MW600. Excellent audio clarity. No lag or whatsoever. Period.

It's a common problem with samsung devices. The only way to fix it for sure that I am aware of is a rom that uses its own bluetooth stack instead of the samsung one, like cyanogen. I hope that's coming to this device, sooner the better.

Maybe it's possible to copy some files of Bluetooth config from the another devices? Or it's not so easy

You have to manually deactivate the telephone mode for your a2dp device. Go to the list of bluetooth devices, long click on your a2dp device, then go to options and deselect telephone, leave only multimedia selected.
You're done. Music perfect

Sounds good..
But I've checked and there was no difference (unfortunately)

Did you try disabling and re-enabling bluetooth afterwards? My Note works perfectly in a2dp with a Nokia BH-214 adapter: no stuttering, no lags, nothing.

On MW600 sound still terrible. Sorry, maybe little better.

SO, how can it be that everyone seems to be getting varying levels of performance? Do you think it could be something to do with where your phone was purchased?
Mine was purchased on expansys (not sure which country it was imported from, but the language looked polish rather than german, but was definitely an EU version, and if anyone can help me narrow it down further let me know).
And my Bluetooth on my Stereo headphones, Parrot Stereo Speaker, and Samsung Speaker all sound perfect.
Might be worth considering a return if its model related.

I also have bad sound quality on my phillips bt headset on kj4... hope there will be a fix soon
