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] Is Fm Transmitting Possible in Note?

Is fm transmitting possible using our galaxy note? or can it be made possible by the help of devs? Please Help

not as far as i know. you need the actual fm trasmitter hardware to be built into the phone. only nokia seems to do that nowadays.

according to me when a phone has FM receiver it also habe a fm transmitter with it , coz when u receive a fm from a radio station , then is a small thing which sends a signal to them. this signals are use to count the no of users listening to the fm station. So this is possbile that Note also has a fm trasmitter. Actually a person expert in hardware can tell us the true story

No, the radio station can't count their listeners, but the note does have a small transmitter that lets me see what you do in the bathroom. Stop doing that, it's gross.

It cannot be done ,i checked with the hardware integrations of the same. It needs a hardware mod.

Don't recall the source, but I read somewhere that the Note actually has the required chipset for FM transmission, but the transmission part is disabled.
I really doubt it can be enabled, and if that happens I don't think it would be capable of high quality and above all enough range to be useful. Even Nokias suck on this regard!
Cheers!

they really dropped the ball their on the galaxy note 2 , I almost bought an note then I noticed that at could not transmit FM like the galaxy s3 could :S
getting sound from the phone into my carputer is no problem , but doing the same in other cars that just have oem stereo systems is another question

There are dedicated fm transmitters you can buy. They are available all over the internet and are very cheap to buy.

FM Radio query

Anybody got any information about the FM Radio feature particularly in UK.
Like to use this occasionally with my Desire HD but it only works with headphones that were originally supplied which I have usually mislaid within the first fortnight.
My pre-order is still awaiting delivery so can anybody tell me if the HTC One uses the headphone cable as the aerial or will it work through the speakers without headphones.
Thanks in advance.

Headphones needed.

Oh well, I'll just have to take better care of the headphones, perhaps the red buds will stop them disappearing into my mass of cables everywhere!

1st it's not possible without headphones(although we could mod it to allow it to run without headphones) but still you won't get any reception at all as it acts as the antenna.
2nd it works on any headphones it doesn't have to be the original supplied headphones in fact even just cheap headphones work.

Make sure you switch NFC off if you use the FM radio. The NFC seems to interfere with the radio and you hear this strange white noise interference every second.

One my one x i took an old set of headphones, cut off the jack part leaving a bit of wire at the end for reception and used that to listen to the radio thru the speakers....

any" noise disturbance"? like some kind of static sound or white noise? The wire which acts as a antenna is cut off, which means the antenna might be broken to receive reception. might try on a cheap earpiece

Wow so uhm... Cutting a wire that acts like an antenna now defys physics huh?
And what if I could prove that FM Radio works when I snip the wires of my headphone and connect it on my phone and make it recieve data from radio stations? Does that make me the same rank as Mr. Heinrich Hertz since I defied one of his theories/discoveries?

Hi!
Got another query about FM radio on the H1. Does Beats work with the FM radio? I have it activated in settings but I don't get the icon in the status field when listening. And if i toggle beats on/off while listening to FM I cannot hear any difference.
So it seems as if Beats is not working with FM.

FM radio on nexus 6

I called T-Mobile and had them look into the FM chip in the nexus 6. They told me that the nexus 6 does have the FM chip but they will not active it. Does anyone have a patch that actives the chip? This is the website that made me aware that this phone can play FM stations.

Wow, that would be awesome. I'd love to listen to baseball games at work.

Links to the FCC reports for the N6 are here and here. There is no mention of an FM radio. You can also see the iFixIt teardown here. They also did not mention an FM radio.
As much as I would like there to be an FM radio in the N6, I think this is more likely a case where the CSM you spoke with was mistaken or the information available to the CSM is incorrect.

They called me back after researching it. They started off by telling me no it did not have it. After they researched they said yes it does. They also told me other providers will active it but not T-Mobile

That might be partly true. Many chipsets these days are multipurpose. I'll use my old Nook Color as an example, because it had a WiFi chipset that did, in fact, include a Bluetooth transceiver. The device's hardware, however, had zero provisions for it. Developers figured out how to turn it on, but without the supporting hardware, Bluetooth range was less than 32 inches, nevermind 32 feet.
I'll wager if it's true, it's the same case with the N6. It very well may have a chip capable of receiving FM radio. That does not, by any means, suggest that it has the required hardware to use it. I doubt very much it has any supporting hardware or antennas to use FM radio.

Who uses FM radio anyways when you can use an app like TuneIn Radio and listen over data without reception issues?

AFAIK, having an FM chip on a phone doesn't mean you can receive FM radio transmissions on the phone b/c you need a proper FM antenna. The Nexus 6 only has 1 antenna on it and it is designed for use by the GSM/CDMA/LTE radios, not by an FM chip.
So like with a walkman/ipod, you would need to use the headphone wire as an FM antenna BUT AFAIK there would need to be a coupling b/t the headphone jack and the FM chip and there isn't unless the phone was designed to use the FM radio There is in some phones like the Moto G and Moto E, but the phone has to be designed to use the headphone wire as an antenna AFAIK.

Also because in many cities, like Atlanta, the radio guys are just better than the "visual" guys. I often watch the game on tv but listen on WSB AM

One teardown I read (can't remember which) explained that the 805 comes with an FM chip, however there is no wiring from it to the headphone jack for antenna. There is also no system support included by Qualcomm to use it. Unlikely to get that working without serious hardware modification & software integration.

Sprint Nexus 6 Has FM Radio
The Nexus 6 on Sprint has the FM Radio activated out of the box. You can check the specs on the website, it is called NextRadio.

FM Radio
I'm in the broadcasting industry, and my radio colleagues say there's a conspiracy at work here. They swear that every cell phone made contains an FM radio receiver. But - carriers prefer you use data rather than free airwaves, so most block it.
I don't know if that's true. But I do have one piece of personal information.
I own the Sony Xperia Tablet Z. WiFi only. And yes, it has a built-in FM radio. Even has an app for 'FM Radio,' and it works like a charm. It apparently uses the headphone cord for the antenna.
Then I also bought the Xperia Tablet Z2, with Verizon LTE. And...there is no FM radio access at all. No app, no mention of it, anwhere.
As for the Nexus 6, a thought: aren't they all pretty much identical? So, if one has FM capability built in, won't they all?
Regardless, the issue is bigger than just this phone. The radio industry has been trying for years to get free radio on cell phones. But, it's just not going to happen on some providers, , since they make money on data. But for those that allow it? Bravo.

This phone doesn't have the hardware to receive FM. So it's impossible to receive it as there is nothing on the motherboard to receive the FM.

FM doesn't come from the CPU. You need a tuner and this phone doesn't have one.

Thanks for the clarifications brother

If you really really really want it ... you could try using an SDR dongle.
There are android drivers and apps. But of course this means having a giant usb stick sticking out of your phone (i guess you could use a usb extension if you wanted lol)

What I don't understand is why you need to uninstall the FM radio with rog 1 and rog2..
I think this should be on every phone with money..
And right now there is fear of pandemics and earthquakes all over the world
Why do we have to live connected to the internet all the time?

As for me this is the opposite, I don't understand why you need FM on the new high tech devices that will drain your battery and use your phone. You can have it with low price FM receiver that can be used for weeks before running out of battery and can keep it for years. With internet you can have digital streaming with much more choice than FM can ever give you.
