I grabbed a set of these, just got them yesterday. I can confirm that the media buttons work great. The FM receiver is just bonus, since the one on the phone has yet to be enabled. Hopefully should save on phone battery instead of using TuneIn for local stations, while also functioning as a bluetooth headset with replaceable/upgradeable earbuds.

Now anyone know of a way to get the phone to enter voice talk with a paired bluetooth device while the phone is locked?

The only way I've been able to get it to work is to disable the lock screen, which is not ideal.

I did not read all the replies, but i highly recommend Motorola S10-HD. they are about 89.99 at best buy but walmart has them for 69.99 which i thought was not too bad. 56.99 on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S10-HD-Bluetooth-Headphones-Packaging/dp/tags-on-product/B004BHCSQC

I hated them on my HTC Evo Shift because the shift sucks with bluetooth. but the E4GT has great signal with bluetooth headset. i have been about 20 feet from the phone with out a scratch in the song. so i can be a little more free with it.

1-10 rating

Sound quality - 8 (not meant for base but i love base)

signal strength - 10

comfortable - 9 (i got a big head so they jab my ear a little but not too bad)

sweat resistant - 10 (great for runners)

battery life - 10 (it is meant for 5-7 hours of actual use time and i got it to 8 hours first time)

Edit, also has media controls that are very responsive with the e4gt
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ravizzle:
Wired headset pause play works on att gs2. I wonder why it won't work with our variant? Long poorest of the button brings up voice talk on both phones so it can't be that hijacking the inputs.

Any devs can u look into why the headphone clicks aren't doing anything?

For working out, I love the Jaybird JF3 ("Freedom") bluetooth headset. Lifetime sweatproof guaranty - I have had two Motorolas die from sweat or rain. The media controls work, and it has a microphone for phone calls. I owned the previous version of these for two years until I broke them.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kn0wBuddy:
It uses a regular micro-USB connector, and it comes with its own hardwired wall-to-micro-USB charger.

It charges from empty to full in about 2-2.5 hours (I usually plug it in at night with my phone). I actually have trouble running the battery all the way down in a single day... I'll typically leave it on (streaming music or listening to radio) for at least 10-12 hours per day.

Bingo just what I'm looking for. I was turned off by most BT headsets as all the media controls are built into the ear piece(s). I prefer to have my controls where I can see them & I like the fact that I can use my existing headphones. Thanks.

Anyone know of any other headphone BT media controllers like the Ericssons?

I wonder if this BT clip-on controller would work with our E4GT's?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xjreyes:
I just returned the iBeats, volume and mute/answer/pause/play buttons doesn't work but the Mic does.. I went to the Motorola S10-HD while they don't have the bass that the beats do they do sound clear and just enough bass using both the stock music player and poweramp, All button work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
Most folks seem to forget that Samsung used to make a pair of OEM earbuds with Mic, model EHS60, and you can get them on eBay for less than $6. Built-in mic with forward and back controls, plus pause.

Bought them back in October when i got my NS4G (now on an Epic Touch) and works great.

I got my single button headset control to work. All I did was flash the headset button fix and everything worked fine. Currently running Calkulin's v2.7 rom and EL26 Kernel. Hopefully this works for others.

Here's the link to the button fix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1348504
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frankquattrone:
@playboyt Thanks for the link. I had seen that earlier but I want to stay on stock and don't want to mess with rooting or flashing. I was wondering if anyone who's on stock knows if the button works after the official Sprint update. I'm still a little bummed that Samsung didn't include a wired headset in the package but maybe they knew the button didn't work and needed to launch it anyway. Doesn't seem like a simple wired headset would save much in cost and it would have great value to the customer. That's a separate issue...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kn0wBuddy:
I have a pair of Samsung wired headphones and am still stock (unrooted, have the OTA update). I just tried them and the single button on them brings up the call log on press and voice command on long-press. It doesn't control media at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frankquattrone:
Hmmm, that was my experience too when I tried it before the OTA. However, looks like LordLugard had success with that specific one so I'm going to give it a shot. It's less than six bucks so figure I don't have much to lose.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wutafobbb:
Just started using the s4a, and the button doesn't work. It only brings up the call log and redials. A bit disappointing, but it sound is quite good, with good bass for under $100. Froogle has them for 70$!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frankquattrone:
Ok, I got my Samsung headphones today and can confirm that the button won't control the music player on stock (unrooted). The upside is the headphones are pretty good quality for 5 bucks and the seller shipped really fast. Actually, my button doesn't do anything. It doesn't bring up the call log or voice dial. It doesn't even answer an incoming call. Are people using Touchwiz launcher? I'm using Zeam launcher and wondering if that's why it doesn't work.

Answered my own question. Switched back to TW and the button brings up call log and voice dial. Still doesn't control the music player though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
I don't bother with launchers. I'm on stock launcher and the Samsung headphones work for me in changing songs back and forth using stock music player (that's about all the controls do).

Third button brings up call log and or dials out last number.

Just plugged back into both my Epic Touch and NS4G and works like it always has.

Don't know what else to tell you.

Your headset has 3 buttons? The one I bought off of ebay only has 1 button. Maybe that's the problem. I couldn't find a 3 button headset on ebay for Samsung. Do you have a link for the 3 button? Thanks.

Finally got my s4a from newegg. flashed the zip and installed the .apk and all works as it is supposed to, thanks. Takes a minute to figure out what speed it is wanting for button clicks though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
Sorry i did not reply sooner. This is a pic of the Samsung headset i have. You can clearly see the 3 buttons on it. On my NS4G and Epic Touch the button to the left only works for calls, the 2nd ( - ) and 3rd ( + ) buttons work in the music app (both stock Android and 3rd party music apps) only for next and previous.

I just ordered these: http://1saleaday.com/flash/mzx606/ --- Altec Lansing MUSX headphones with the controls and mic in-line. I haven't got them yet but for $20 they are looking pretty promising. Plus, this was about $10-15 cheaper than anywhere else.

And just FYI, I've bought tons of stuff from this site and I've only had good experiences.

Thanks man. The one I got has only one-button. Will look for a 3-button one instead.

Has anyone found a wired headset that controls media on stock ICS (FF18) either via multi-buttons or via an app that enables multi click of a single button for additional functions?

Stock on nexus supports 3 button control and hardware on epic supports it

Samsung touchwiz uses the buttons a volume and middle pause/play.stock uses forward and rewind and middle as pause/play
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] galt:
Well, apparently this isn't the way the Nocs work on stock ICS for this device. It's basically worthless. Click of the center button just brings up the call log (like the Apple headset I had), the other two buttons don't do anything. This is with or without the Nocs app installed and with all possible configurations of their app, using the stock music player or other media players. Just a $70 pile of nope.

Having upgraded to XXKI3, I noticed samsungdive (tracking / Find the phone feature..) is no longer working. I had a closer look seemingly IMEITracker.apk (system app) is not there either - this might be the cause ?

I receive no errors but when I try accessing any of the functions on the Samsung Dive website (ex: "Find my mobile") on both Firefox and Chrome I have no success, it never successfully connects just thinks about it for hours.

I also noticed that imeitracker.apk was not present but mobiletracker.apk was, not sure if that makes a difference.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkiwi:
I re-flashed the release firmware - and apparently imeitracker.apk is no longer there definitely. Re-used the old version made no different as well.

If mobile tracking is important for you, I reckon it's time to move on :). The free version of AVG Mobilation is good enough for me. (Sorry as new member I cannot post link) - Google will do :)

Hi,

I have been using KI3 for past 1-2 weeks and i have no issues with Samsung Dive....i can call my ccell, track my location, get logs, wipe data..everything......not sure why u cant...

i used KI3 uploaded my intratech and samfirmware....

have you used samsung account in ur cell..in accnt and sync section???

may be a complete reset will work.....

just throwing my 2 cents......
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OniKim:
@smilingcruel ... m8 you're lucky

here even after full wipe, kh3 restore, etc etc etc nothing to do ... dive won't connect to my phone ...

of course all setting are ok ( samsung account linked, mobile tracking is active )

tried on wifi, 3g ... just nothing

and it was working perfectly before ki3 update ...

btw i noticed something strange on titanium backup ... no I have com.android.imeitracker strikethrough and grayed ( like not installed backup )

but i can't do nothing w/ it ... it's not a backup, i can't uninstall/install it ... nothing to do ...

and of course this is not present on my second SII w/ kh3 ( revolution 2.6 ) that have never been updated to ki3 ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkiwi:
This purely a piece of guess from. But this XXKI3 release is for Poland which outside the current service zone of SamsungDive (i read somewhere UK/German and some other regions) .. hence the removal of IMEITracker.apk which explained why it's not working.

After all, i just don't bother now ...move on to some other service and freeze the rest apps to save memory :D

For @OniKim, the titanium have grey, strike-out package because IMEITracker.apk create a data folder and Titanium backup picks it up yet can not find (for some reason) the matched APK.

If you want to remove it, look into "/data/" there is a folder called "com.android.IMEITracker" then removing this will be okay :) else just leave it there ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OniKim:
humm ... ok about the ki3 release issue cause it's for poland ...

but what is making me going crazy it's why after restoring kh3 dive is still not working ... and why dive still working for lots of people w/ ki3

also can you point me to the alternate solution you're using ???

i really want a remote acces to my phone ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkiwi:
As I've said earlier... I gave up on this.

I assume you mean remote tracking / lock instead of access.

But anyway here is the one that I used AVG Mobilation from AVG http://www.avgmobilation.com/

It's free for tracking, remote lock, shout ... all just work - I haven't tried the remote wipe for an obvious reason :P. Btw, it comes free with antivirus :P

I had the same problem (rooted SGS2 with 2.3.5 and KI3) - I have createted a new Samsumg-Account and it works now. The Problem is, it is normaly not possible to delete the Samsung-Account without a hard reset.

I have do this with Titanium Backup:

-> backup your phone with TB

-> deaktivate with TB the Samsung-Account

-> reboot the phone

-> restore the Samsung-Account without data

-> activate the Samsung account again

-> now you can create a new account​

I hope this workaround works on your side too...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamSparx:
Thanks! That totally worked. I've added a couple of notes for those that follow this process to make it clearer for noobs like me.

-> backup your phone with Titanium Backup - the specific file/app you need to backup is called "Samsung Account" (v1.0 in my case)

-> Freeze Samsung Account with TB

-> reboot the phone

-> go back into TB and restore the Samsung-Account *without* data

-> activate the Samsung account again (Settings -> Accounts and sync -> add account)

-> now you can add a samsung account. You can still use the Samsung account you had previously (e.g. use the same email and password) and just recreating it will make samsungdrive start to work again.
