Hi all, i recently bought an htc hd 2 used, and i have the following problems with the wired stero headset - earphones included in the box, ill describe what they do and what they wont do, as the previous owner informed me the hands free where almost unused, that means they are like new, and believe me they look like new.
The htc hands free do:
sound will come out of the speakers when i play music
as an antenna for the radio player
The htc hands free wont do:
the mic wont work when im on the phone, i only can hear they canot hear me
and finaly the controls play / pause / next / previous / answer call buttons wont work
I hope you can help me with this problem.
OS: 5.2.21869
manila version: 2.5.19211619
rom version: 18/11/09
radio version: 2.05.51.05_2
Exactly the same issue started cropping up a few weeks ago- strange as it worked perfectly for 5 months.
Hi rieuwa if i find some time i will try to replace the rom with another to see if the problem persists, i dont think is a hardware problem, as i said the earphones are barely used, i think that there might be a software problem.
rieuwa, did you try to restore the rom ?
Hi telas, I actually went in to three phone shops today, until I found one that had a spare HD2 wired headset with buttons to test.
Sure enough, in my case it's the headset that is broken. It worked fine with his headset. Currently with mine I can play music just fine, but the three buttons just don't work.
So I'm just about to start a support call... 'Dear HTC...'
I'm wondering if some sort of short in the plug isn't also causing my other problem whereby occasionally with the headset plugged in, my volume controls on the phone suddenly change into next track/previous track, with no way to get out of that other than a soft reset or turning off the phone (and the HD2 isn't the fastest booter....)
Good luck with yours!
Hi there and thanks, actually my case gets more and more weird, my roommate just bought today an htc hd 2 himself, i asked him if the hands free work he said yes, i said lets test YOUR handsfree on my device, after we pluged it in we pressed the buttons and music played the controls all ok, i said lets plug MY handsfree on your device to see if my handsfree are broken or not, and guess ? THEY DID WORK!
Then we pluged in HIS handsfree on MY device to see if they work and they worked, then we tested mine again on my device and they didnt and now the grant finale, i asked him minutes ago to test his handfree on my device again to double check anddddddddddddddddd THEY DIDNT WORK!!!
Facts:
My hands free work just fine, on other devices
Hands free from other hd 2 devices work fine on my device
Hands free from other hd 2 devices will work for one time only
WTF?
I have same problem headphones buttons not working and when call connected i can hear, but caller not (also i cannot answer with headphone button). After installed 3.14 stock rom headphones buttons problem was random and just after moons using buttons not working every time. So i hear need to delete BsB Tweaks or just disable some options, i try but no luck. I decide to back to my first Htc Hd2 stock rom 1.66, with this rom when i buy Hd2 headphones buttons works fine and just several times i have problem with starting music with button. But what, when i install 1.66 stock rom and try headphones - buttons not working, WTF?
Sorry for my very bad english, but are you guys have any ideas about this problem?
Hey and im having the same problem too, headphones used to wrok perfectly, in my 1.66 rom, upgraded to 3.14 and the problems started, during this time, in a Cyanogen Mod build of android i checked a setting that said "use buttons on headset" so i could control my music in android, and well after reverting back to a 1.66 rom....headset play forward and backwards buttons wont work but music will play through the headset.
I Highly doubt android could be the culprit, and the roms are only software, so maybe its a hardware issue, even though ive used my headset very carfully...im going to try with another set of htc headphones and see if i can find a solution...very wierd.
I just used kies to update my firmware. I have a Bell (Canada) gt-i9000m (vibrant). The update left all my settings from the old FW and in no time at all my phone was force closing apps. Did a full reset and it runs nicely had to put back all my apn settings and stuff. The only thing that's changed with the new FW is that I cant change songs from my bluetooth car deck and I cant even play or pause anymore For me its kinda a huge deal cuz I put all my music on the phone to play in my car and it was all working so nicely i could even fast forward in the track that was a one up on my old iphone (with the old FW). Now none of my bluetooth deck controls are working I do see the 2 touch buttons light up on the phone when i push buttons on my car deck so the phone is getting the command its just not responding. Any Ideas would be most helpful.
The only thing that's different is that I haven't re-rooted the phone yet or applied the lag fix because I was having a lot of force close problems and did 4 resets so far (i assume due to the lag fix). I was hoping the new FW would fix more problems that it made... I didn't take note of the stock FW on my bell i9000m at the very least I would flash that back on to get my bluethooth controls back if anyone knows the stock firmware or how to make it work with the JH2 FW?
do a factory reset/format
then start with new settings, it will work after you pair the devices again
I did a factory reset when i upgraded the FW because of the force close error's but I didn't format. So I did another factory reset followed by a format of both internal and external. Took over 3h's to get all my stuff back on the phone and the bluetooth controls are still not working in the car.
From all the trouble shooting I've done its one of two things;
1. The firmware JH2 changed something with the A2DP profiles.
OR
2. I haven't rooted or done the lag fix.
Those are the only things that are different from before.
If anyone knows the stock FW for the i9000m (bell vibrant) and/or a link to download it. It would be most helpful.
I will try re-rooting and applying the lag fix but i have a hunch that's not going to make my car deck start working with the phone any better.
The car deck i have is a KD-BT1 (made by JVC). Just to be clear I was able to control my phone via the controls on the deck & its remote with the old firmware. I have deleted my paired phone and re-paired before and after factory reset & format.
that's very strange.
i've had that problem before, but that was expect of every new flash i made.
i always had to make the Car Deck (Clario CZ509) forget the old Galaxy S, then pair it again with the flashed Galaxy S, then it works all good.
else i get really weird behaviour on both phones and Car Deck
I can stream excellent audio quality to the car, with nice sub (no loss) and be able to control remote both phone and/or car from either the Car Deck, the SGS Phone, or the Remote control that came with the Deck
it automatically switch between phone calls and music
Sounds like i should reflash my fw. Do you have a link to where you got yours cuz kies is no longer seeing my phone... just hangs trying to connect. Its happened many times i know the uninstall drill to make it work but i've invested so much time into my sgs i rather use odin this time over kies.
I've un-paired and re-paired them agian and agian the pair up no problem and i make sure to check off the box that pops up to always allow my bt device to access contacts, ect. It all sync's up flawlessly just dont have control. The music streams very clearly for me also (2x10s subs).
Btw thanks for your very helpful responses!
I'm still thinking it might be cuz yours is rooted and mine still isnt. trying that before i jump the gun on another re-flash.
are you using the stock "Music Player" (w/ ugly pink icon)??
Update...
I rooted and did the one click lag fix. A2DP controls still don't work. I was able to use the car deck to answer, hang up, dail a number it got from my contact list! I'm not sure if those were or weren't working before... I was only really conserned with the music controls and they still dont work.
I also tried calling Samsung to see if they could help me out with why I always get the force close errors. No luck they told me to call my carrier i told them I bought the phone from a differnt carrier... I'm on Fido with Bell phone. Samsung said Bell has to get the RMA if i need one.
I've herd the lag fix helps bring to light any memory problems and creates those force close errors. This is one of my big underlying issues with my i9000m it crash's all the time. I've factory reset at least 5 times and once it crashed from google maps looking for an address and it got stuck on the boot logo. I had to wipe from the recovery menu just to call my friend when i was out side of his building for like 30mins (didn't know the buzzer #) I thought the instability was due to the root and lag fix but the phone runs a lot worse with out them...
(never dropped banged or any kind of water/wetness)
sorry if i got a lil' off topic but the phone is running worse over time...
The stock music player app (called "Music Player") doesn't respond to the standard AVRCP controls (A2DP is phone-audio-to-bluetooth, AVRCP is remote-control-to-phone). Most other music player apps will. Are you sure you were using the standard music player previously? Anyway the solution is to use a different music player app.
Yes i was using the stock player before it worked fine.
I will try another one. I have been thinking that maybe something was changed with the stock music player with the FW update or maybe i need to go settings->apps->Musicplayer and clear the data... Going to try both and post my results tomorrow morning. Getting to late to go out to the car... LOL
I had a look at forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7980935 and thing maybe something did change with my AVRCP version.
I cant "1.0—Basic remote control commands (play/pause/stop, etc.)"
My stereo also has a phone mode that is working that lets me make calls and answer calls using the car stereo. I dont know if that is also AVRCP or just like a reg bluetooth ear piece controls.
Well I couldn't sleep till i tried it. I installed MixZing mp3 player and some of the mp3 controls work now. Play and pause and rewind track but It wont skip to next track. So it looks like you hit the nail on the head and something changed with the Music Player when I updated the firmware.
Does anyone have a rip of the stock Music Player apk from the old firmware?

That will be handsfree profile (HFP).
So its safe to assume something changed from my stock firmware to the one kies put on JH2 with the MusicPlayer app with regards to the AVRCP controls. I have yet to find a link of the stock firmware that was on my phone when I bought it, on the lunch date in Montreal.
Anyone got a link to the stock i9000m firmware from bell?
Thanks for all the help getting to the bottom of the problem.
Went to Bell store today to see if they could flash the old FW like Samsung told me they would. Guess what... they said they couldn't help because I "hacked" the phone even tho its Samsung's firmware. Apparently the use of Kies has voided my warranty.

I was until i changed it to "Player" that is the name of the app.
the Stock MP3 player that came with JH2 was really good, it had 5.1 sound, which other players app does not support yet.
the only reason i ditched it was due the annoying way how to add music to the play list, the new app is just Point to the folder you want, and click on select all/play all, done
when you are in the car driving, you have no fricking enough time to go select which album or artist or genre.
but playing off the Folder structure, you know where you put which songs, so you can quickly skip folders, fast forward, or reverse to reach the songs you want
all that aside the stock music player works well with the Bluetooth remote control options
i was using the stock music player for about a week in my car via bluetooth until i got annoyed of not being able to quickly pick from the SD card the songs i wanted to play

i think they meant the SIMs unlocked or the phone Rooted
since you are already on JH2 which is legit
Moving on to something more Vibrant
Update...
I got my phone back from repairs 2 weeks ago. They flat out replaced the phone for a new one. This was a huge headache for me because the new one wasn't unlocked. Took Bell 2 hours to get the new one unlocked wile my wife waited out side double parked downtown! (I thought it would be a quick pick up and I would be out) The blue-tooth works flawlessly again!!
Much to my dismay the replacement phone has started acting up much like my first one did. It gets several force close errors a day and has gotten to the point where it no longer can send or receive text messages (using Handcent). The stock Music Player app also force closes at random with more frequently. It looks like I got another Lemon. This time around I did NOT root, lag-fix, or flash firmware. I will be sending it for repairs as soon as I can afford to buy another phone to use wile this one is off at repairs. My back up phone is a 3~ year old Iphone3g that my son has made his... (cracked screen, vol rockers dont work, power button is jammed in, the LCD screen it self is bleeding on the top edge)
The Vibrant never let me down other than as a phone. As a divx player or using all-share it rocks! I use these features A LOT to play my 720p divx movies on any TV or the projector in the bedroom .
with that being said I might keep the phone just as a portable movie player to bring from place to place and put my sim in something more stable.
Hello I was wondering if there is a way to get the headset on the HD7 to map to next\previous tracks rather than volume up\down (or indeed is there another headset on the market that does this).
I like to use my hd7 on the treadmill in the gym and if a song comes on I don't like I have no way to skip it (touchscreen isn't a viable option when running). I find it curious why MS chose vol up\down rather than previous\next track. I realise I can get an A2DP bluetooth headset to do this but I have had problems in the past with these with choppy/poor quality audio. So are there any wired options for me?
intressting question, i wish to know that also...

this is also my concern. been trying to figure it out for quite sometime now. haha!
anyway, i'm also using jabra halo which is i believe the best wireless stereo headset for my hd7. the sound is just amazing! same compliment that i get from other people who have tried this headset.
Hi Guys,
I bought an Itech clip from ebay, essentially it is a bluetooth reciever. You can plug in your favourite earphones/buds etc and have full controll over track skipping forward/backward, also vol up /down and the ability to answer you phone if it goes off.
Best thing is it clips wherever and can be upto around 15 feet away from the handset without signal loss (thats how far mine goes anyway)
I managed to get mine from Hong Kong (probably a copy) with delivery for a bargain price of £7.00 and it arrived in a week. Best buy
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/R36-Clip-Blue...e_Phones_Bluetooth_Acc_ET&hash=item1c170190c1 This sort of thing but there are differing types, just take a look.
Hope this helps,
Creamy
well i dont want a bluetooth headset, and i shouldnt have to have one just to gain something so simple that every other phone manages to do.
double tapping the middle button on the headset works on iphone and android and i've even heard it works on other WP7 handsets from LG and Samsung so why not the HD7?
hope the next update fixes it !!
Hi,
I see the optimus 2X has the capability to use remote commands on the 3.5jack earphone cable (1 buton available on retail product to end call I think).
I want to know if there is any product like nokia's to control the music play via a small remote on the 3.5 jack ?
Like this :

or this :
http://cgi.ebay.fr/Handsfree-Headse...218750?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item56435ae8be
Thanks
up
I would also like to know. If anyone had a nokia/apple/htc phone before and still has the headphones, please plug them into your 2x and see if the music controls work. Please?
Well I have a HTC Hero and a pair of skullcandy earphones with a limited set of in-line controls. The earphones can control volume (not within the phone itself though) and it has a play/pause button. The ROM I used with my Hero also let me skip tracks by hitting the play/pause button twice very fast. I should receive my LG Optimus X2 tomorrow and will try it out then and post back my results.
Edit:
Well tried them out with no luck - the play/pause button would not work at all.
I tried on my lg with my old nokia earphones (this one http://cgi.ebay.fr/3-5mm-Stereo-Ear...717437?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19c3f3cdbd) but it donesn't work at all.
Maybe we could write a program to catch the i/o interrupts the headphone generates ?
And btw, the sound is crap behind the remote. SO I guess the phone has to know we use a remote to change the electrical output to make it working correctly?
Experienced the same trying the nokia remote-earphones from my old N82.
In-Line-Controls didn´t work at all and the sound was very bad, almost completely missing the bass and noisy.
Seems indeed either these Nokia-Pieces are somehow incompatible or the controls take some of the electric output away if the phone isn´t aware of them.
there are two types of TRRS pinouts thanks to Apple
Nokia type (10 years old) ->
Left-Right-Mic-Ground
Apple type (since 2007) ->
Left-Right-Ground-Mic
Who knows why Apple did this... they've basically split the industry. My Nexus One is Apple type, so I guess the real question now is if anyone knows to what extent HTC's (or Apple's) headphones work, especially the more recent headphones packaged with Desire/DesireHD/NexusOne/G2
So I think that would mean newer HTC's are probably all Apple type. I think the original Moto Droid is nokia type. It's kind of a cluster-f***
Also note that HTC HERO uses RC-E150 headphones while newer HTC headphones are model RC-E160. However, I have seen the RC-e150 sold as Nexus One compatible, so they are probably the same pinout.
If the LG 2X is Apple type, those skullcandy headphones will probably work.

I think it is apple type. however stock ROM does not support all of the commands the iphone does. so far i can use the following commands:
play/pause (oneClick)
next (doubleClick)
don't know about volume control.
i tried installing a different media player. bTunes does support previous (triple click) but it's buggy. so is next on the stock media player. i think it has to do with quality of the in-the-box-headphones. i will try to see if i have my old apple buds and check what those do.
@tonyschuite
Hi,
What earphones do you use ?
@bradsh1
Thanks for the infos
I'd be curious to know if Hero/Nexus One headphones work with forward/back track buttons.
So anyone got it working with a iphone remote control (since nokia's won't work and someone said nokia and iphone remotes are reversed) ?
Original works for me as the iphone tap twice and next song will be played

Forward & back don't work with the LG music player. The play/pause works as normal.
Sent from my LG-P990
So it's more a software issue ?
I tried plug my o2x headphones on my nokia 5800, and it recognize it as an tv output cable. So yeah, the wire connections are reversed somewhere.
You think these king of earphones would work ?
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA850G/B
PLEASE Every person that say "this or this works with my remote bla bla" PLEASE GIVE MODEL NUMBER / MANUFACTURER AND PICTURE !!
To these people with working headphones controls: could you please test, if another music player app can recieve more then one button? For example try Poweramp. (You can get a 2 weeks trial at the market.)
But take in mind: Poweramp stats that music controls listening must be disabled in other music Apps. So be sure to disable it in the stock or, if there is no option to do so, just disable it with Titanium.
Works perfectily in poweramp both with original headphones and creative 630i
Will check with multibutton remote

Great. I'm waiting for your results. If this works, I will buy one too.
Please tell me which headphone set are you talking about when you say "original headphone" ? The one included with p990 bundle ?
What do you mean by "works perfectly" ? Play / pause ? Volume ? Next track, previous track ?
Etc.
Thanks
I got my Note 4 yesterday and was trying to connect my car radio (Jvc Kw-V50BT). The phone connected, but when trying to connect the media part of the phone it just doesn't want to connect. I had a LG G2 prior to this phone and it worked fine. I checked JVC and it should work with Bluetooth 2.0 and up. This is baffling my mind right now. I might have to factory reset my phone and try it that way. Any help would be appreciated.
No problems here I use my Ford touch and everything is fine

If it still doesn't work...try another BT source.
Works better with my Ford Touch than any phone previously.
---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------
Try reseting your radio... not sure how you do that with your model. Make sure you delete the old pairing.
bt 4.0, which most newer phones have, is very touchy about what it works properly with; I have a bad time trying to stay connected to my vivosmart garmin band, but pairing to my car and plantronics headset works 100% of the time.
my wife has a G3, and has the same issues; some things work 100% of the time, and some others only work occasionally
A2DP Issues
I just got my Note 4 yesterday, and am definitely experiencing some (admittedly minor) issues with A2DP in my Honda CR-V EXL 2012.
When playing music over Bluetooth, I experience the infamous "Galaxy S5 intermittent half-second skip". Also, I have noticed that when playing an album or playlist, if the screen on the phone is off the currently playing song information will not update.
For example:
I am listening to "Gimme More" by Britney Spears on the album Blackout.
"Gimme More" ends, and the next track "Piece of Me" comes on.
The car screen will continue to show "Gimme More' unless I use the forward or back buttons from my steering wheel or dashboard to manually change songs.
This causes the screen to update to "Piece of Me"... albeit with a brief delay.
Very odd...

I finally got it too work, but I had to get an app to help me out. I think it was called Bluetooth Manager or something. I forced it to accept the media and got it working. I was getting frustrated when even a factor reset didn't help.
Yes, I have the stuttering too on my Note 4. What can I do about it?
Note 4 note; note, Bluetooth.

This may not help but.. Got my Note 4 four days ago; had the Note 3. 3 Had 0 problems with Bluetooth; 30 ft. through walls, drops rare, auto connected to my car while I was in the house. Note 4 range 15 feet,, constant drops and fails to connect. Hoping to get another 3 or 4 from T-mobile but that has not happened yet. I'm good carrying both. The 4 makes calls (although the speaker is a downgrade. The 3 connects to all my stuff. just like the old days at work. :fingers-crossed:
This is what I'm using. No issues.
It's not super new. Just a decent deck. But, the rule is the newer the better with flagship phones:
Not sure if this is related or not - I have an open thread about blue tooth streaming issues with my car...
What I have found so far -
My car (2012 Subaru STi) has two methods to pair a blue tooth device... entering the setup through the steering wheel is the only way to save a device for auto connect and play, entering the setup through the head unit lets you save and select a phone to pair, but you must select pair each time you get into the car. If you do option #2, I have the call audio and media boxes always unchecked. - see if your car has a different method for primary user/secondary user blue tooth set up
and secondly, my main issue was that while listening to spotify my radio head unit would say BT-Audio Paused out of nowhere, when in fact, the spotify track still shows playing and the song is progressing.
after lots of troubleshooting I think this may be an issue to spotify itself and not my phone (I am now testing Pandora/other streaming media to see if they do the same interment freeze/odd stuff)
I've also been having problems with Bluetooth devices connected to my Note 4. Previously, I had been using an iPhone 6 and I didn't have any issues with these devices. Now, I'm experiencing connection problems with my Jawbone UP24, my Plantronics headset, or my Jaybird stereo earbuds, and other devices. Once I reboot my Note 4, the BT connection is usually back. But, sometimes I have problems even after I've rebooted the Note 4. If I power cycle my BT peripheral, I'm usually OK as well.
So - my question is: could it be possible that some of my Bluetooth peripherals (like my Jawbone UP24) may be causing some type of interference? Or, do I have faulty hardware?
Older Bluetooth Devices always seem to be hit or miss on the newer Samsung devices that have been coming out. May be its age being the factor, lol. :silly:
