[Q] Earpiece w/remote - LG Optimus 2x

Hi,
Has anyone tried an earpiece with built-in media remote (play, stop, fwd etc)?
Does the remote works for O2X?
Thanks.

I dont know if it changed but when i bought my headset there was no android specific headsets, they were all deaigned for i-devices and therefore not everything works.
It might also depend on the rom that is used.
Volume does not work
Forward, backward and play should work (might depend on rom)
Accept calls and call last should also work (might also depend on rom)
That is my experience with sennheiser adidas headaets.

Ok thanks!
Anyone tried nokia earpiece with media button on their androids?

Newbie: Skype over phone instead of speaker

Hello
I just installed Skype for smartphones on my new S730 and the connection works like a charm. However, so far the sound is only played over the phone's loudspeaker. Is there a way to change that, so I can skype using the S730 like a normal phone?
Thanks.
Rob
Currently it's not possible. When calling with Skype, just turn round the phone.
use headphones
I have another question. Is there a way to use Bluetooth handsfree with skype. When i connect my bluetooth handsfree and make call over skype, the sound come from loadspeekers. Works only with wired (headphones) handsfree.
The "issue" is that the API [for sound output] used for VoIP is the same as the Windows Mobile OS (like media player, ringers...) use; not the same the phone uses.
thanks for the answers, guys!
that sucks! any hope this will get resolved sometime soon?
cheers!
rob
Oh, I don't think its solved "soon". Or somewhere in the future. I have had a qtek 2020i and already in those ancient days, I had the problem that it was not possible to use a BT-headset for voip-connections.
For the 730:
Whats about using a stereo-bluetooth headset? Its made only for listening music?!
So, could work for voip/skype too?!?

I suppose that would work, depending on which API VoIP uses to output sound. If it is the same that music uses, then yes, it would work. I'm going to guess it is since wired the stereo headphones work.

Bluetooth audio router ?

I can't seem to find a program which will route ALL audio to my mono bt earpiece. If there is such an app pls pst. If not, I'd like to help in the dev of such an app. Basicly, whenever the phone sees any audio bt device it will start routing all audio to that device. And it should have a built in audio mixer to control the different programs' volume levels separately.
Let me know what you think
Thanks.

As a bike commuter this feature would be great. I typically listen to streams and podcasts where fidelity is not priority one. I use a cheap pair of corded headphones where I chop one ear bud off so that I can keep my left ear, traffic side, open. It would be sweet to have the ability to make/take calls on my commute and listen to audio as well. I know that there are BT earpieces that are a2dp, but should I really have to drop another 40 clams to get one, hells no this is android we get what we want right? That said I would develop a prog to do this but it will take me 6 mos as I have no background. So, to kind devs, myself and several others that I have seen scouring for this sol'n would gladly help test and pay for this functionality.
I have been looking also. Have not found anything to even mention. I used to have it on my old MinMo phone, but that's the ONLY damn thing I miss about it. Anyone have a recomendation.
theres a bunch of cheap A2DP headsets at dealextreme.com just do a search for a2dp
But I do mean cheap dont expect miracles for sound quality or battery life . . . but did I mention cheap?
We're not trying to solve our problems by purchasing MORE hardware, we're trying to make do with what we have and find new uses for old stuff. We want to send ALL the audio from the device to a mono NON a2dp earpiece. It can't honestly be that hard, Please devs. And don't forget your donate buttons.

This is not working for me, and I have 3.0. Doubt that 4.0 is working on the G1.
Hello!
Sorry to up this "old" topic, but I'm a biker too and i have a scala rider Q2 bluetooth device. This device does not support the bluetooth A2AP x-(
The phone calls trough bluetooth is ok but no music or GPS....
I found a solution : Bluetooth Audio Widget (i could not post the link but you can find it on the android market)
This Widget/application route all the sounds from your device to the bluethoot headphones!
@++
I have been using "Super BT Mono Pro" on my T-Mobile G2. It is working better than a few of the other apps that I have tried. It is also available on the Market.
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_developer/sinwidget_itzo.html
How do you like that Q2? Does it work well on FM, or is its radio coverage spotty like the other units? I still think they have awesome audio when you are talking to someone. I gave up the Scala Rider FM for a Parrot SK4000.

[Q] remote control music on jack 3.5 wire

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.

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 ?

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.

[Q] Which Bluetooh Headsets Work with Spotify and HTC One?

Hi All.
I am canvassing the readers of this board in a bid to work out just how wide my problem is.
I have a new HTC One with a new HTC Bluetooth Headset (BH S600) but the combined play/pause button does not work with Spotify (or Rdio for that matter).
Is there anyone out there who has a Bluetooth headset AND an HTC One? If so, which headset are you using and do you have this problem?
Many thanks in advance for any and all feedback.
I don't have my 1 yet, coming in a few days but would be interested in seeing some feedback on this as I want to use BT headset for music too.
I recall, in some distant memory - that there is a BT codec/handshake/protocol/standard (i dunno what it is called atm) that allows control of media - and not all devices have it. Don't know if this is the issue.
Sorry can't help more.

Tips for Xperia (v) owners with incompatible headphones

Hello all, I need to post 10 messages before being able to post one useful reply in the development part.
Having no idea what to write about, I just transform my (unpostable) answer in a useful thread where more people will find it and where i might even get useful reactions so that we all learn some things.
Ok, to the point:
When using most unofficial headphones, the telephone won't recognise the plug layout.
Depending on the rom/firmware it hasn't got the same consequences.
Sometimes there is sound coming out of the headphones and sometimes there isn't.
With the official Sony roms it wasn't a problem before (just a popup message stating the buttons unavailable) but I had the no sound problem on my V after updating to 4.3 too.
I have an xperia v and before that I had an xperia p, an app called SoundAbout has solved problems for both models, with all kinds of headsets and every rom, both on dalvik and art, so it might work for other models too.
I found it here on xda frontpage a few years ago and it never let me down.
I'm not affiliated with the creators by the way.
We got a free licence for the pro version here ont the xda forum at the time but I lost it and the free version does just fine.
It really is very simple, you start the app and redirect media sound to the headphones.
Another thing that I discovered only last Sunday:
The disadvantage of the SoundAbout app is that the phone considers the outgoing sound as going to the phones speaker, and thus a lot of audio enhancements like headphone surround don't work, you only have the options for the speaker that will have effect.
But I'm running a new rom now, 4.4.4 neowave, the fastest and best battery by far of all roms I have tested.
This rom uses viper4android, where i found an option to lock the settings, so that it is possible to use the headphone options on the speaker sound, and thus for the headphones when used with SoundAbout.
I don't care about mic or buttons working so I have no info about that.
But the sound on my v is finally perfect with my highend headphones, after years of searching how to.
I hope this helps someone, and that it makes other people as happy as I am.
Comon peeps, more than a hundred views but not a single reply?
I don't want to make a 10 post monologue to get to the limit of being able to feedback in rom topics....
Doesn't anybody care about sound quality on his phone ?
Are people getting used to choppy badly decoded music that much?
Am I unique in carying and listening my music on my phone?
I just want to drop by and say that this works indeed for all my NeoWave users, Xperia T ones included.
So if you have any earphone issues, try this app! :good:
Thanks for dropping by
I'm glad it works on the T too.
Personally I tried almost all roms for the V that are/were available here on xda, I haven't counted but that must be more than 20 roms, not counting the updates, and SoundAbout always worked.
For my P also I tried a lot of roms and mods, and no problems encountered with SoundAbout (a lot with incompatible headphones on official roms).
It seems that it is not guaranteed that the mic and buttons work, even with the pro version that has more options, at least that is what I found reading around on the Web, but I'm quite curious about the actual pro version.
Is there anyone that has experience with the pro version ?
I have not tried the pro version, but I have another question..
Do you have any experiences concerning the trial version? Is the usage limited to a certain amount of days or does the app provide most of its features for an unlimited amount of time?
Concerning the media sound routing there is no limitation.
The free version has the following options :
Service - on(background), on(foreground) , on(auto restart), off
Media audio - let app decide, speaker, headphones, headphones (with mic)
Notification behaviour - block notification to speaker on/off
Notification behaviour - block ringtones to speaker on/off
Notification behaviour - speak caller name options
Wired headset behaviour - set detection options when plugged in
In the pro version there are
Phone call redirection settings
Extra settings for text to speach
Bluetooth behavior
Dock behaviour
So, with the free version the headphones do not work for phonecalls.
As I already don't use my headphones for calling, it does not bother me.
hat does work is the widget (1 tile) that toggles sound redirection.
That's great. So the functionality we need is not limited. :good:
It's not work on my T

What exactly does not work?
It won't autodetect some headphones but if you set service to "on, foreground" and the media audio setting to "wired headphones" ?
Isn't there any sound coming through ?
Is there maybe an app that will make my Xperia V recognise my Nokia (TV Out) RCA cable?

If the jack has a standard layout, it will work.
Not sure that it will recognise it automatically though.
