[Q] RAZRi compatible headphones?

Hi everybody,
To be honest I was very dissapointed when I opened the RAZR i box and noticed it came without headphones, I know a lot of people says all stock headphones su*ks, but, I am one of the few persons who still use stock headphones for playing music, talking to people while driving, etc.
I have tried to use 2 kinds of headphones with mic for the talking while driving purpose, but not even one of them worked. (iphone & sony headphones)
Is it going to be a pain in the ass finding a good compatible pair of headphones with mic?

Mine came with stock headphones/mic.

Really?
Now I'm confused, because a friend of mine and I bought the phone the same day, and none of them came with stock headphones, just the usb cable and charging adapter, I guess thats how they sell it just here @ Latin América or more specifically México.
Kind of su*ks.

Mine came with a set of headphone/mic too
(EU Retail of contract)

I'm from Germany, and mine had headphones included.
If you are looking for working headphones, I use the Sony MW600.
All buttons work a intended by the manufacturer, sound is good, my conversation partners have no trouble understanding me even with a lot of noise around, the battery lasts for about 12 hours of nonstop music.

Look guys...

just mine
Spoiler

Mine came with its own headphone.
But i bought a Jayz One+ headphone which is fully compatible.(better quality than Moto's headphone)

So, i managed to break my stock headphones. they were pretty rubbish and i'm looking to replace them anyway, but if anyone could recommend a cheap alternative that would be great.
It's a shame that the other headsets i have (that i had previously with my xperia ray) don't work in that they are only detected as non-microphone headphones and the volume is muted unless the button is help down, so i can't start/stop music or answer calls or speak with people using them.
i don't want bluetooth or anything, just some cheap wired ones.

Mine came with
Manual - Guide
Auriculares Motorola - Stock headphones
Cable USB
Accesorio para extraer sim - Sim and sdcard extracter
Cargador de batería - Battery charger
I bought it in Claro, Argentina.
I suggest that you will have to buy a headphone in a local. They are like 10U$D more or less.

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.

Headphone jack problem

I heard electric noise for few seconds every time I plugged in my earphone to the phone. The noise dissappeared automatically after that.
I have tried a few earphones and they all have the same problem.
Any ideas??

Having the same problem here (.534 Firmware)! It is really annoying. First I thought it had something to do with Poweramps Auto-Play Feature, but it seems to be a general Headphone Bug.

Mine are Shure SE 215!
I found out that playing and pausing audio with any Audio Player does stop the noise signal after some seconds. Sometimes it also stops by itself. Very strange problem, did not experience it with my old Xperia S.

To me that sound similar to desktops. When you plug the speakers in the back. You hear the distortion before its in 100%.
Not sure what that is but doesnt seem to affect anything. Do yiu have any water in the headphone hole?
Maybe its the phones metal inside. Could be dust? Maybe something in there thats interfering with the headphone jack. Give it a good blow. Or a brush that can get in there.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4

The Distortion appears directly after plugging in the jack and stops after some seconds or upon pausing the audio. This is without touching or moving the cable, so it does not have something to do with the mechanical connection.
EDIT:
Ok I found something out: The noise just appears when using earphones with a standard connector with 3 lanes (Ground, Left and Right Channel). When using a headset with 4 lanes (Ground, Left, Right, Mic) there is no noise signal. Tried it with both a Sony and an Apple headset (no noise) and my Shure earphones (noise)
I have no clue why it behaves like this, though.

Could be a cheap way for them to make you spend more money on headphones.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4

My Shures were definitely more expensive than the headsets I tested 3 vs 4 lanes is not a quality sign it's just so that a headset needs the 4th connector for the Microphone signal (correct me when I'm wrong).

I have similar issue on brainwavz B2 but that weird sound is gone after a while...

Looks like Im not alone on this issue. I have problems with Shure se210 and westone 4r.

its an issue with smart connect not being automatically turned on just go to the app and switch the profile for your music off and on again.

Can anyone try that? I dont have mine anymore.

Good idea, but it does not help. Also tried deactivating Smart Connect and rebooting, but there's still noise when plugging in the jack.
This really annoys me! Especially because it just happens with normal earphones and not with headsets, so it probably is not a hardware bug.

No, it has nothing to do with moving the device (and there definitely are no vacuum tubes in a mobile phone xD). But I am not sure if that was your question.

Yep, that was the answer to my question and regardless it's connected with headphones generally.

Same issues with headphone jack
Hey guys I'm experiencing exactly the same noise with my headphone jack on my Z1.
I'm using a pair of Sony MDRXB41EXB Extra Bass Headphones and they don't have a microphone built in.
Has anybody alerted Sony to the issue yet?

I have problems with jaybird bluebuds x :crying:

Well this is disturbing. I was hoping this kind of crap would have been sorted out by now. I posted a longer rant on another review of the Z1 on Engadget, but here's a snippet of what I wrote,
"I had a really bad experience with a Sony MD player. had a sharp md player, that I bought in Japan, and that thing was awesome. It did everything I wanted it to, It was pretty and sleek and I loved it. It died in a car wreck. Back in the states, I got a Sony to replace it. (only available brand at the time) Twice, I had to return it for a manufacture's repair because the headphone port kept crapping out and creating static on the headphones. The stupid retailer tried to convince me it was my headphones but I tried multiple pairs. The thing was a piece of garbage. Ever since then, I've had a bit of a sour taste regarding Sony's audio products. "
The problem you all are having seems a bit better, at least the static goes away after a couple of seconds. On my MD player, it would go away but then come back if I adjusted the headphones at all inside the jack, and sometimes without provocation. Has anybody noticed that the problem persists beyond a couple of seconds after the headphones are plugged in? If it does, It might just be the same flaw in Sony's headphone jack design. It's abhorrent to me, that a company that built its brand on audio fidelity is also the only company with which I've ever had a problem with something as simple as a headphone jack. I hope that this is the exception rather than the rule with these phones, because I still really want one. I guess one potential solution is to just use bluetooth headphones instead, but this doesn't solve the potential hardware problem, It's just a work-around, and when you pay that much for a flagship device, you shouldn't have to work around anything. The hardware should work flawlessly.
oops.. I ranted again.

This is the reply I got from Sony Mobile:
Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre.
We are sorry to hear that you are having difficulties finding headphones to work with your Sony Xperia Z1.
The Sony Xperia Z1 uses a CTIA headphone jack and therefore will only be compatible with other CTIA headphones. As Sony do not test there phones with Third Party Manufacturers, such as Shure and Westone, we can not confirm that they use the same connectivity. You would need to speak to the headphones manufacturers to find this information.
The headphones and headset models which are compatible for your phone are listed below:
MH750
MK200
MW1
SBH20
MBH10
SBH52
Please find a link for this information included:

Car stereo compatibility?

What after market car stereo do you recommend for the moto x? Looks like the pioneer app stereo 3 isn't compatible. Too bad cause it looks sweet on an iPhone. Jailbreak just got released so I phones are looking sweet right now especially since they work with just about everything. Maybe I just need to be turned on to the right head unit though.
Have you guys bought anything like that as of late?
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk

No... because the whole concept is severely flawed and poorly executed (even with an iPhone). I keep waiting for someone to get this right and continue to be disappointed.
If you really want something like this and aren't afraid to tinker, you'd be better off, IMHO, with one of the Android head units available on eBay.

Thanks

Not personally. I would suggest one that is at least running ICS (some are still on Gingerbread). I believe there is a forum for them on this site.
Last time I looked at them they were not quite ready for prime time either, at least not for something you want to put in your vehicle tomake things simpler.
I keep waiting for something done right. I can't believe it is taking so long. I mean, all we really need is a smart watch on steroids built into a radio.

I have the feeling this will be the year. Both Google and iOS are working with major car companies. Hopefully the aftermarket doesn't get left behind

Compatibility:silly:

What kind of compatibility are you looking for? The after-market stereo I have connects with Bluetooth, and I can make/answer calls and use Google Play Music just fine. When I do an "Okay Google Now" my phone mic is still what's picking it up, but it speaks to me out my car's speakers.

I think you can configure Google Now to use the Bluetooth device instead -- go into Google Now, then the settings, then Voice.

Thank you for that! I think it popped up letting me know I could change the setting the first time I paired my stereo, but I was driving, so I just dismissed the popup quickly without reading it.

Do you know if it lets you do the opposite? I want play music and beyondpod and what not to play out of the bluetooth but google now to come from the phone. Specifically because on my car (VW Golf 2011) if you don't have the BT audio input selected it goes into a black hole. I like to pair my phone but sometimes want to listen to regular radio or XM radio and not be tied to play music and beyondpod.

cable for mhl

hi guys, any of you know a cable for broadcast on TV the screen of oneplus, I'll explain, I bought a joypad Bluethooth to play with my OnePlus and would like to connect the TV to the device to play them

Sorry but the phone isn't MHL compatible :/

And there are other ways to connect the device to the TV to play?
iknow there exists the option to do with mirroring Chomecast , but I'm afraid that there may be delay of input lag , and this would be annoying

Chromecast lags as hell. So thats unusable for playing.
Anyway this is the droid you're looking for:
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matter...tDescription_secondary_view_div_1471236276365
But I suspect that there is no support for this via OOS, I'm not certain that whether the support is hardware or software based.

thanks to you for yours replies, i have at home a chromecast and soon as I get home i try this solution.
if chormecast should Lagging what I need is a cable that has the MHL conversion function , right?

Sadly OnePlus 3's USB Type-C port is only half way there since its just USB 2.0. If it would have been USB-version 3.1, screen output and all kinds of nice stuff would have been possible.
OP3 does NOT have MHL support either, so you are kinda stuck with this matter. Go wireless with Chromecast or get another phone if its important to you

FYI all displaylink adapters work with Android for screen mirroring. All you need is a usb to go cable and a displaylink capable usb to video adapter. As well as the app from the play store!
