XDA1 stereo headset button not functioning

I bought a headset for my XDA1, which has a sonyericsson label on it, but looks completely like the one i've seen on this site (probably the same type). My problem is that the answer button on the mic does nothing at all.
I tested the button with pressing it while recording, and i hear the click. Do i need some extra program which recognises this? Has anyone got any experiences regarding stereo mic headsets? Software is 4.01.16 T-Mobile

i would guess it's because they dont use the same connectors for button and mic as the HTC headset

Everything is fine, except the answer button, although that works also (grounds mic line). It just wont answer the call. Headphones are good too, its cool to use the XDA as an MP3 player.

Where did you buy it? How much was it? I want one too, cause the original headset's quality is really crap.

Mine is probably the same as yours. Its a sonyericsson, but the mic is exactly the same as the HTC i found on this site.
Found this pic on eBay. The headset is the same, but without the radio.

You could probably modify yours and put any kind of headphones on top of the mic. You good at soldering?

Headset question

As per the user's manual, the headset has a volume control slider, however, I don't think I could find the slider the manual is trying to say. Is this just a typographical error? The headset that came with my unit only has a send/end button, no slider at all.

Mine also doesnt have the slider. Just the button.

Are they talking about the graphical representation of the slider perhaps?

I doubt it!

slider, the volume controller. On my previous pda phones, xda, xda 2, touch thier headsets have the slider, so I find this very strange, especially that its even written on the manual.

I've been using the jj blaster 28004 light rom for a few days now, but have only just plugged in the headset that came with the phone. Apparently it doesn't come with all kaisers so here's the pictures of the one i mean:

I've not been able to reduce the volume while they are plugged in and it's deafening when trying to listen to music. The play/pause, start/end call, forward/back a track buttons all work fine, but the volume one does nothing.
Are there any programs I am missing from the full rom that would help to manage the volume level of the headset please? Or any other program suggestions to manage this? I've seen countless threads talking about the bluetooth headsets being too quiet in volume but can't find any info on the original wired headset.

Hi dude
i don't know if it's possible to manually switch in the vibrate mode and not disable rigtone/sound too, or modify the standard profiles (maybe there's some registry tweak that allow this!!) but 3rd party softwares that manage your phone sound profiles can do it!!
For exaple i'm using SPB Phone Suite and in the Profile manager i can set the ringtone and notification to vibrate but at same time can allow the speaker volume:

...I know, this isn't the solution to the problem, but ,maybe, can hold your interest!!!
Hope to help you!
Ciao

cool, anythings worth a fix for now. thanks!

oh man. sweet program! thanks again!!

Use voice command to set to vibrate and it changes it in the phone settings. But when listening to music you have your headset on so why would you want this?

when im in class i like to listen to music but i dont want the phone to ring

Headphone adapter + hissing normal?

Hey folks, dropped the gf off at the airport and she realised she'd forgotten her phone, consequently she'd got no music to listen to so muggins handed over the ipod.
Now I'm left with my faithful touch dual and a headphone adapter I got from eBay (as per one of the posters in this forum)

...and my Etymotic ER6i headphones which have to date provided me with stunning audio quality.
Only problem -- hiss, and a lot of it! Now I know that my headphones are very sensitive, if there's a less than perfect audio connection involved hiss does occur.
As such, I'm wondering if anyone else out there has similar experience, or indeed no issues at all and could recommend a better headphone adapter (pref with mic).
Thanks in advance!

*****SOLVED*****
Returned that first adapter for refund (the microphone didn't even work when I tried it!) and ordered a different sort, as seen below:
Completely different story, sliding the volume control on the adapter right down and upping the device volume allows for clear sound and zero hiss. I'm a happy chappy
The microphone even works...bonus!
nb. for anyone who's interested:
A long press on the button initiates voice dial and hangs up.
Double tapping it calls the last number dialed.
A single tap will put the other person on hold during a call.
Only thing..... anyone know how I can boost the microphone sensitivity just a bit so I can have it a bit further (it's ok btw, don't let me put anyone off, I just want an extra bonus bit of sensitivity )

I hade a similar issue with bluetooth headsets.. the solution seems to be if you're headset etc has volume control, put it low, and increase the nike's volume.

Boost Audio volume

Is there away to increase the volume on the hero. I want to make my music louder through my headphones. Is there a better music player than the factory default one?

I use MixZing as my music player. I might be imagining it, but it seems louder than the stock HTC player, and has a cool widget as an added bonus.

AutoMOD Verson 1.4.
Works like a beauty. Only, clarity can sometimes become a problem if you turn the volume up too loud, as well as it sounding like it's hammering at your Hero's speakers.

Louder Volume Hack will also achieve this although some people report that it does not work for them...
Latest version is 2.2.1 and can be found here:

Be warned it is a pay for app, but a refund is available if it does not work for you.

Can't find the program on Market.
What's the actual name? Can direct to the .apk file?

AutoMod 1.4 was the name of Louder Volume Hack quite a few versions ago, i am unsure if it was a pay app then or not...
