iCrap headsets on Android - Legend Accessories

Hi Guys
I've been looking for a nice headphones with mic and control buttons for my Legend
Unfortunately companies make only ones for iPhone
Apple does not like us to use them
So they have put a chip which allows them to work only with idevices
When u connect them to legend mic do not work (but the phone recognize it as coneceted)
Only central button works (allows u to play and stop music only)
I've read that there is a patch for HTC magic
Which allows to use iPhone ones
I've been wondering is there a way to make them work on legend as well
If anyone have any info about how to do it please help

You have asked this in Q&A if you get no answer,Then there probably isn't one.
DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS IN DEVELOPMENT THERE ARE ENOUGH NOTICES SAYING NOT TO DO IT SO DONT!

You should have ask this in accessories.
Dude, have you tried Jabra Halo.
The vol can use to change track.

Look up TRRS and how it works, 2 pins on the iphone jack are simply inversed. (Mic and ground) Get a DIY trrs jack cut and replace the original jack inverse 3 and 4 and it will work. There's no chip involved at all.

there is one app, i think by jays audio, let you control your one button headphone so that you can do a lot of things... e.g, skip track, pause, etc. check market out

List for Samsung htc sony (not sony erricson) and nokika lumia headset and headphones that work all three buttons & mic
- urbeats
- htc beats solo
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-001
Update as I found some more

You may also try to use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm TRRS adapter that reverses the microphone and ground pins; however, specific remote and mic compatibility is not garanteed.

Mic / Music Controls Headset adapter?

I love my current headphones... (not new... not the best... certainly not the worst... Shure E3C's)
What I am looking for is an adapter which provides the music controls (pause / next / previous track) and possibly a mic....
Shure does make an adapter for the iPhone... but I have read that Apple pretty much changed what each lead goes to... so it would most likely not work.
Anyone know of an adapter for the phone?

I have a pair of these, in Shoe Red, they work phenomenally when tied with HTC Music + DroidShuffle, or another of music app that has headset controls built in.

Well I am really more interested in an adapter such as this: http://www.amazon.com/Shure-MPA-3C-Music-Adapter-iPhone/dp/B000UD205K
I have been told the iPhone adapters won't necessarily work on devices other than iPhones since Apple placed leads in different places than industry norm.
Can anyone confirm if this MPA-3C or equivalent works on the Galaxy Tab?
I dont think there is an adapter like that, sorry

Just tried my wife's HTC Wildfire handsfree with mic and I can confirm that it works!
This means any adapter designed for HTC Wildfire should work with Samsung GalaxyTab.
Edit: the model is HTC HS-U350
Been a while since I checked on this thread.
That last link was for the model with an answer end button.. The one I'm interested in has music controls.
Thanks though

Are you sure that works with DIncs? Seems to be specifically for i-products.

As I said, I am not sure if it would work with the DINC, but I would presume it would be workable if the player you use is headphone control friendly. I use PowerAmp paid version and it is listed as an option to enable. In my experience anything listed for the "iCan't" has worked for me other than the charger. I do not have a need for such a product but saw this and hoped it would help. I have seen other brands but none say that they will work for our phone or any other phone because "iCan't" is one standard phone and Android is run on numerous different platforms & devices.

[Q] Using the ibeats by Dr. Dre?

Hi, I'm looking to buy the ibeats for my nexus s but on the box it says they're made for iphone/ipad/ipod. Does anyone know if the controltalk that are on the headphones work with the nexus s?

If your ROM supports it you will have control over start/stop, advance/reset track. The volume is not functional, Android unfortunately does not support that feature. In my opinion you can get better earbuds, I had a pair and they sound is OK, but they are clunky.

I have a pair of solo hds and the control talk works on both stock and sense roms. The volume controls don't work, but the pause/play and double tap to skip works. Recently though the mic on them haven't picked up any sound, so calls are a no go (though I suspect that it's my cable).
If you don't mind me asking though, why would you choose ibeats over tour? I haven't tried either, but looking at the cable, the tour would last much longer. Unlike the over ears, the cable on the ibeats is standard fare, and that's what always go first on my headphones. That's just my opinion though.
same here... play/pause works with music and pandora.
no volume controls.... they sound good after you tweak them with dsp manager.
Go with jays four instead of beats, equal soundquality for half the price. Same flat cables.

Buy anything but Beats by Dre. They are probably the worst value in the headphone market. Better off to go with Sennheiser or something.

I'm guessing you're talking about the microphone and headset controls. I don't know of any headphones other than the stock ones that come with Milestone that will work, but you can always try.

You can buy any iPhone compatible earphones. The only one with in-line mic and answer button. Not the control talk models (with volume up and down) because it got some problems with our phones. Pay attention for Samsung and Nokia compatible because they don't work: GND and Mic contacs are swapped on them (like OMTP standards and our Milestone is not OMTP compatible).

thread about headphones: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738448
just checked with the iPhone hands free its working fine but you may not able to answer call using hands free..
you cant pause music and cant control volume..!!
when you use it,,it changes the track..!
I think there is no standard protocol how head phone control is implemented, iphone head phones would sure onyl work with iphone.
If anyone cares sgs2 headphones are workin to play/pause.
I don't know if they work to answer a call because i don't use headphones to make/answer a call.

Changing the track with the HTC One bundled earphones

Sorry if this is a silly question for some (I have not owned a HTC before).... With the bundled earphones, one press of the mic button pauses the music.
A double press dials the last number I called....
.... It would really help if I could change to the next track instead.
... Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Any help with this would be appreciated... I am assisting older HTC phones may use the same setup, so comments on this issue if experienced before would also be great please.

I don't believe its possible.
The freebie urBeats headphones which you can also find online from phone stockists who separate out the bundles, include a next and previous track button. You might look for one of those instead.
The NEW urBeats headphones which are officially sold in retail packaging have 3 buttons but only the middle one does anything.
Even though HTC own Beats, they seem reluctant to issue an official Beats headphone with full track button support and instead favour iPhones/iPad support.
Only seeing 1 red button on the 'phones. Guessing all it does in 'answer' but I could be wrong. Think I need to RTFM

HTC supports next/previous buttons on the headphones. What it doesn't support is the volume up & down buttons since it was patented by iOS for their products. The only reason why this patent doesn't work on nokia/sony etc. Is because they are using different jack technology.
Sony, Nokia, Blackberry, Samsung etc. headphones does not work on iOS & HTC products and likewise. Well it works but not perfectly. The connectors in the ground and the left speaker of the headphone is switched to the opposite sides.

Try using this app if it works.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately that app did not work on this phone.
Anybody else out there really annoyed they can't do something simple like skip to the next track with their earphones?

Apple Earphones not working properly on SGS1

Sorry if this the wrong place to ask this question, but as the title says, my Apple earphones aren't clear on my s1. Plz don't say just buy beats or other earphones because the Apple ones are the most comfortable to me. When I use the apple earphones the sound quality is a bit weird, while other earphones work fine. If there is anyway to fix this problem I will be glad to hear.
Thanks.

Try this thing, while playing music, press and hold answer button on your headset, sound should become clear.
This is a well known hardware problem, it's that apple and samsung manufacture headphones jacks using different connection layout. That way headset mics do not work properly by different manufacturer. Usually, when you buying headset, it defines "iphone, htc compatible" or "samsung, nokia compatible" (not sure about specific phone manufacturer). I also have one philips headset which came with simple 3.5 female to 3.5 male adapter, to work with both connection types.
Moreover SGS1 has tv-out through the same headphones jack, this way it's more messed up, and even the sound does not work properly.
I guess your only option would be buying some adapter, seen several on ebay, specifically designed for sgs1, but I could not tell whether they do what it says.
