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.
Hi All
I was just wondering if anyone knew if the Moto X definitely supports AptX for bluetooth audio? I have searched around these forums for a clear answer but haven't found anything. The device isn't listed on AptX.com even though most of the Moto Droid series is, and there really hasn't been official mention of it in the specs.
If anyone out there could confirm this, and know that they have had it working on their AptX devices, I would appreciate it very much! Thanks in advance for any help.

I "think" it does. The requirement for AptX is bluetooth 4.0 which the MotoX has.
Tapatalked from my G PAD 8.3
I doubt it. Moto has to pay for aptX if they want it. Then they would have marketed it. Although it's nice to have it though. Honestly I could not tell the difference with my other aptX supported phone.

Does anyone know how to tell if APT-X bluetooth audio streaming is on by default on the Moto X? I have a pair of Motorola S11-HD bluetooth headphones that support APT-X, but the quality sounds no different than my Rezound did using them. I've tried looking through the bluetooth menus but it doesn't tell you if its A2DP or APT-X. I also tried looking for some sort of bluetooth diagnostic thing in the market with no luck. I seen where someone posted something about the LG G2 and using terminal to examine the build prop to see if it was enabled or not, but I have no clue how to do that with the Moto X. Any insight into this would be helpful, I just am looking for the best bluetooth audio quality possible with my phone, and from what I hear APT-X is he best as of now.

This is hard to answer, because there are many factors in sound quality.
Does the Moto X even support APT-X?
What are your source files? Are they lossless? If not, what kind of bit-rate are they?
I get the feeling that the S11-HD are not that great of quality, sound-wise.....so I'm not sure you would hear the difference anyways. I'm having a real hard time finding the specs on these(what drivers? Frequency range? etc etc). Throwing "High definition" in the name of the product doesn't make it good....it just makes it expensive.

Yes I'm having a hard time finding all the specs myself. However if you go to the APTX website http://aptx.com/category/phones it has the Moto X and the S11-HD listed as APTX products. I'm just trying to figure out if my phone is using the APTX profile or the A2DP profile while using the headset that is supposed to be APTX compatible.
Streaming Bluetooth audio to my LG soundbar works only within 6-7 feet, everything beyond it gets choppy frequently.
I did the same experiment with an older ipad2, sgs2 and the newer Nexus 7 2013. All worked fine within the soundbars specs, 30ft. The nexus actually stretched it the furthest, I streamed from my second floor with only one slight interruption.
Is it that my phone is faulty or is just the compatibility with this exact soundbar? Are there settings or other means to improve the bt signal/range?

is your phone stock or custom recovery / rom
Viper rom latest with elementalx 18.0. Also on latest sense fw.
I will definitely try it again with stock kernel although I doubt it's a kernel issue. I might try perhaps a different radio but if anyone knows a proven way to make it work.. I surely appreciate any input on this.

Using a RUU back to stock always worked on my AT&T M7
I seemed to have that problem when using the Developer Edition software versions
In case someone experiences the same issue and hopefully before rma-ing his/her soundbar, I isolated the issue to the custom kernel I was using. As soon as I reverted to stock I could take my phone 30ft or more without a single hiccup.

Is anyone having bluetooth issues with this phone? I continue to have the same issues carried over from the V30 to the G7 and now the V40. Specifically, when I connect the phone to my 2012 Subaru Legacy head unit, I get static on calls, but not when I stream media. It is quite frustrating that this company cannot sort out the bluetooth problems. For the record, it seems specific to a few vehicles, notably Subarus. My Galaxy S9 Plus does not have this problem., nor does my wife's iPhone.
Can't speak for Subaru but my Nissan Murano 2016 doesn't have any issues at all. Audio/Music and calls are all working as expected.
No issues with Ford's Sync 3.
Must be the lingering issue common to Subaru vehicles. It really is a shame that, from the V30 to the G7 to the V40, the problem continues. But, again, most users are not having this problem. Unfortunately, it keeps me from keeping this phone.

Out of curiosity I would try a stand alone bluetooth audio device that feeds into the head unit to bypass the factory bluetooth just to see what happens. Have you tried moving the phone around to see if it's getting interference from something? Just to test it out try connecting from inside your house and then go out to the car without your phone and see if you still have noise issues.
I can say one thing for a fact: Subaru Bluetooth sucks to the max. I've already replaced the head unit in my Outback due to Bluetooth issues and had some static or "road noise" as they say at the dealer on my WRX and thus won't replace it.

Enable the Developer Settings, and spend sometime monkeying with the Bluetooth AVCRP version and other Bluetooth related settings such as CODEC. this may solve your issue.
I'll have to try this. Thanks

I came thisclose to doing that. I was concerned that I would lose some functionality. However, I may still change the HU.

I tried bypassing the Subaru HU as you suggested, It was a cumbersome setup that caused other problem. With the V40, the static seems to be worse when the phone is in my pocket than out (the opposite of the v30). I also hear a difference when I move the phone around the car. At this point I have returned the phone. However, I am seriously considering giving it a second chance, because 1) great deals are to be had, 2) it is an underappreciated phone that I really like, much like the V30. and 3) I know the issue is the Subaru HU, not the phone. If I do purchase again, I will do some serious trouble shooting.

Yup. If I give the V40 another shot (I am leaning in that direction), I will do that
Thanks for the tips, folks. I really appreciate it.

Based on your description, I wonder if your head unit is not properly grounded....

I might have thought something like that too. But when I had the V30, I had a similar (not exact) issue that others reported (suggesting a subaru issue in general, not my HU in particular). I have also had the HU looked at twice. Finally, It works well with my wife's iphone and my soon-to-be-sold GS9 Plus.
Not to rub it in, but the Bluetooth is working perfectly on all three cars, the OONZ(?) and the BOSE System at home.
Hope you get it sorted out.
EDIT: My phone is the V40 ThinQ - Verizon

I had not thought about that. Subaru has looked at it and found nothing. I am thinking of replacing the head unit at this point.

I work at Subaru, and the head unit is causing a lot of issues. Have your dealership perform an audio unit software update.. (crosstrek/outback/forester)

I did request an update for my Legacy about six weeks ago. The problem persists. Definitely an issue with the head unit. Thanks for confirming this.
I have decided to replace the head unit. More and more phones are having issues with it (V30, G7, V40, OnePlus 6, OnePlus 6T) and so at this point it is worth it to replace the HU. It seems as if the problem is spreading to other phones (software incompatibility, perhaps?) rather than being limited to LG's phones.

You're welcome, its seems to be the head unit, as a matter of fact i ordered a new one today for 2018 forester. Its even worse on iPhones, because whenever Apple updates vthe software Subaru would have to update the units to be compatible (Harmon Cardon).. Definitely not the phone, seems like you have tested with other phones and problem still persists.
