[Motorola Droid RAZR] nafpez:
Right, now this almost made me send this phone back, thats how much it annoyed me, but i decided to soldier on none-the-less. I have a pair of Sony in earphones with remote, said remote works on my Desire, with every music player ive ever used in the last 19 months, never had a problem, but for some reason they dont work with my Razr, and neither do a pair of iPod/iPhone in earphones that are kicking around the abode (the missus', not mine :p), with any music player i try that i know works on my Desire.

I queried this on another forum and apparently both sets of earphones i tried are "incompatible" Is this true? are only certain earphones able to work with the Razr? And if so, does anyone know if there is a "compatible" list of earphones that work?

Could you good people just list the earphones that work for you, and maybe we could get a good list of working sets for people to be able to reference to, to make life a bit easier for all us music listen too'ers.

Any help with this would be much appreciated, and not just by me im sure.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
AFAIR there is an app on the Market to assign functions to those buttons.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nafpez:
LOL the buttons dont even work, never mind need assigning functions to.

Ive tried a few of these apps but none seem to work atall.

Come on guys, lets get a list started, i cant surely be the only one that finds this a really annoying problem?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onei0077:
My marleys buttons don't work with the razr.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brianbrain:
Try "Headset Droid" out. I haven't tested with the RAZR, but it's worked for me on every other device.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
I can confirm my SGS2 in-earphones are working flawlessly on my RAZR.

As for buttons, try one of the apps for assigning the buttons to functions.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] manningfan10:
any of these work for beats?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nafpez:
Cheers Brian, tried it, and many others...and nothing, i think it must be a hardware issue TBH, which if Moto did on purpose, thats COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS.

Cheers kholk, can you confirm that the button from the SG2 are working with or without an app?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brianbrain:
ugh, seriously? Google needs to standardize the headset controls pronto - this is a problem that should NOT exist..My RAZR arrives today so I'll post later this evening (CST) if the JLab J3M's work or not.

If all else fails, there's always bluetooth (those controls are standardized, so they'll work). I personally like the Jabra Clipper (if you can still find it). Allows you to use any set of headphones you prefer with the bluetooth receiver.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nafpez:
Yeah let us know how they go, personally i dont want to rely on an app to do something like this, just want to find a decent pair that WORK!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brianbrain:
Ok, so without Headset Droid installed, my JLab's did not work - at all. Not even pause worked.

I installed Headset Droid and configured it as such:

General Settings ->

Double Click Delay: 250ms

Click and hold delay: 450ms

Target Media Player: Music

Ignore Simulated Clicks: NOT checked

Button Actions -> Play/Pause button actions ->

Single Click: Play/Pause + answer call/end call

Double Click: Next Track + decline call/mute mic

Triple Click: Next Track + repeat caller

Quadruple Click: Next Track

Click and Hold: Volume reset and rise

Double click and hold: rewind

triple click and hold: fast forward

These settings work acceptably with the stock music app (and I'm sure they'll work for any 3rd party app as well, just change the target media player setting).

Remember: Headset Droid will not work if on the main screen it doesn't say "service is activated". Headset droid should automatically start once it detects the use of headset controls.

You can try to tweak it for better response (mine's not perfect) by clicking on "headset monitor" and testing to see how your headset button presses are being interpreted by the system. You may need to change delays or other settings to get it just right for your tastes (i'm not 100% happy with mine yet either).

This is the only solution I have..but it's certainly better than buying a new headset that will most likely sound like..well..awful. Once it's set right, you never have to touch it again, it really is a silent app - if you like it, throw some cash the developer's way (as I have).

Hi, i have AKG Q350. Control (vol + & -) and mic don't work :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jgoose:
I have a Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth head set. Sense it is motorola, all functions work with the RAZR, to include, play, pause, skip, go back a song, and volume. With a built in mike you can also send and receive phone calls.

Being wireless, it's great for working out or what ever. I have great range with mine. Haven't had any issues with sweat or humidity.

Only draw backs, if you have a small head, it may not fit you correctly. Also, sense the 2.3.6 update, volume is very loud. I have to keep all media volumes turned all the way down most of the time. And with the Battery/receiver portion in the back, it's not very comfortable to lay on. I have to go with regular head phones when lounging on the couch.

I love them for 95% of the day though. Give them a look.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] greenaar:
Headphone jack wiring

I had this problem as well - I tracked it down to the pinout of the jack being reversed at the tip (mic and ground reversed) - which makes iphone-compatible headsets not razr compatible.

I picked up a nice set of Seinheiser's specifically for android, and they worked without a hitch. Anything designed to work for apple though, forget it.

I am of course excluding bluetooth from this, I'm talking wired headsets only.

It's a pain. There's an adapter you can purchase - kvconnection had them the last time i looked - but it's annoying to need yet another bit of tech.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sexywacko:
My dr dre ur beats that came with a sensation xe dont work on the razr. They do respond with the app player pro. But still not 100%
[Motorola Droid RAZR] draga277:
I tried iphone's earphones and they don't work.

:confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bahathir:
Based on my limited experience, Motorola and Samsung phones cannot use iPhone and HTC earphones set with mic and controller. So any earphones made for iPhone are NOT working correctly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] assassin34:
ah one question guys does HTC sensation XE/XL's DR.DRE headphone works? i don't care about buttons working or not i just need to know whether u get audio in?

I have Monster Dr.Dre which works flawlessly.........:D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sexywacko:
Yeah they do work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DanielMod:
you know there is a reason for this,the original headphones are headphones and a microphone,right?

while apples headphones are not.

Well that's the answer,the plug inside the razr is for the right channel,left channel,and microphone,its not meant to input any keypress.

I also use these in-ear headphones and these simply rocks! they say it is an re-branded version of Audio Technica CKM99, see this link if you don't believe http://www.head-fi.org/t/586909/the...-the-jvc-ha-fx40-page-83-jvc-ha-fx101-page-96 and at 22.00 USD this is a steal !!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CaFFeiNe666:
nope ;) is just a different "standard", some people could make buttons to work, but not iphone headsets, i read an article where this question was explained, motorola uses a different standard, if i don't get wrong also headsets made for samsung and sony are similar to motorola ones

if you search on google, there's some information about this
[Motorola Droid RAZR] N1ghtr08d:
Well the question is, how can we make our normal/iphone/ipod headsets with buttons and a mic work correctly on the Razr??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Op3raToR:
Yes, I would like to know it as well. It's pretty weird when I'm walking around somewhere and I get an incoming call and have to plug out my earphones, just to talk for that moment. When I had an iPhone it was more comfortable, just talk through the earphones with the built-in mic. No need for complicated plug-in/out action.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sushido:
Hi!

I was thinking on buying this ones "Thinksound TS02 + mic" because they say that they are compatible with the Motorola Atrix 4G, but after read all these I'm not sure anymore.

I have tried my Motorola XT910 with HTC Desire S and Samsung Galaxy SIII headphones (both of them have call control, volume + & -) and the result was the same:

1.- Mic & phones work

2.- Volume controls doesn't work

3.- Call control mute the phone. Do not end the call.

I'll keep you posted!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] willou60:
3-buttons are a technology of Apple.... it can't be compatible with other devices !

the buttons signals are encrypted then decoded by the device, or something like that.

patented technology... thx Apple
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sushido:
Hi!

But the 3-buttons works with the Samsung and HTC. So, the problem is that Motorola decided not to pay the patent or they don't implement their own solution??

Anyone knows if the beats by dr.dre studio work with razr? (controltalk?)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] linkduy:
my razr have problem , when it dont lock screen , i can next track, pause, bla bla... , when lock screen i cant do this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DanielMod:
Again I'ts simple enough to explain,look at the headphones that comes with the razr.

It has:

1.Left Channel

2.Right Channel

3.Microphone

*(4.Ground).

So Three wires and one ground wire...which means there is no controller input,the input was meant for audio,any other input may incorrupt the phones functionality.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Drano_80:
As others have said it's an OS thing, not a hardware thing. I've found a workaround by using an app called (strangely enough) Headset Button Controller. You can control track forward, etc., by assigning presses to the center button. For example one short press pause/play. Two short presses next track, and so on. Works for me. YMMV

As you can see bluetooth consumes very little power ( the same as my live wallpaper!!! lol ) after turned on for 14h, on my Stock JB rooted Maxx
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CaFFeiNe666:
i suggest you 2 solutions..

one is called motorokr s305, probably they aren't an elite headset, but they have really a lot of excellent reviews (9 out of 10 are positve on reviews, for both audio quality, and call quality)

or you can try jays 1+ wich claims to be compatible with almost any android device, they have one single button, but you can set it by their android software, many reviews talk really good about them, comparing this headset with higher priced ones, they have a very good deisgn, build quality, and audio quality...

i've gone for the bluetooth ones, cause if i remember well not every android connector is made the same way, some are compatible with iphone accessories, others not... so i've gone for bluetooth also for this reason (i'm waiting for their arrival, so i can't say if they are really good as many reviews say)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 999vir:
Compatible Headphones.

I'm answering here to bid up subject.

From my researches, Motorola had installed they own chip in to box original headphones - as the same as Nokia, Samsung or HTC.

So after some researches - the cheapest and the best -100% available for Europe are a-JAYS One+ (a- like android of course).

Those one cost some about 50 euros, and are made with quality - sure they are good as for example AKG are.

Jays company is sending it worldwide, and it should take some about week to grab it in USA/Canada, and less in Europe.

Jays has also developed app for control of android actions by this one button control placed in headsets microphone module.

There are some products from Philips as well, but on official facebook funpages - even workers of Philips have had problems with

identification of specification of their own products :laugh:

Any way they are - not all in every country, but producer is saying that they are coo-working with Motorola as well - to see which one is good - go to google play to see Philips control app.

The real problem is with force our RAZRs to work in cardock mode - without original cardock as well. But - rotation control apps will do it even better than original app ever could. In case of any questions - please feel free to ask -> only group of searching can do even more than producer did. :)

Hi,

I have this wierd problem with my sensation. I found out that if i have my camera on and it falls a sleep it wont unlock any more. no ring nothing.buttons glow but a solid black screen. The only way out is a battery pull.:(

It's with photo camera and video camera mode. no other apps suffer fom this.

I've tried other roms but nothing. I currently run ARHD 3.6.7

I found out on accident but it is realy annoying me now:D

[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Yeah, it's bricked kernel. Doesn't matter what version you use, it seems to keep on happening randomly.
[HTC Sensation] red8981:
Hi,

Go into Bricked Kernel post, there is a .zip file called, CAM-FIX.zip

Flash that, magic will happen =]
[HTC Sensation] knuddeknurft:
Thanks guys, I've all ready flashed an other kernel and it works all fine now.

CAM-FIX.zip on the other hand is only for sense 3.5 and I really prefer sense 3.0
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
The camfix patch is so the camera can even function in the first place, it does not fix this issue. Without the camfix, if you try to use the camera the screen just goes black and the phone freezes. This issue however is an intermittent one, where sometimes when you exit the camera you get the black screen and freeze. Doesn't happen all the time, but it's definitely the kernel at fault.

To the OP, if in your case it's only happening once the screen times out, you could always use tasker to make it not timeout when using that app?
[HTC Sensation] red8981:
You can try keep screen, it will keep phone up when camera is on

When I go market voice search for download it says your device doesn't supporting this object, I found apk file somewhere and installed it but it runs so slow and doesn't recognise my voice.

If I speak slowly it returns something "you wanted to say .... " but when I speak normally it says "I didn't hear your voice"

I tried clearing voice search app cache and disable personalised voice search and remove my voice records on my google account but it is still not working :confused: .

Thanks for help.

Urm, not sure, maybe it's the 3.0 build that doesn't work well with Voice.

I have an unlocked+rooted CM7 Atrix which was working nicely this morning.

I was playing around and decided to install Titanium Backup. I also read somewhere that it needs BusyBox to work better so I decided to install that too.

i tried installing BusyBox in /system/xbin and it gave me an error about BusyBox being already installed

now for some reason I can't seem to do anything in a terminal emulator or adb except "cd" and "su" (Root checker returns success)

I'm getting a "permissin denied" error with basic commands like ls, cp, mv, mount, chmod

any suggestions?

thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viperlox:
this is just a shot in the dark but have you tried to fix permissions in cwm... its fixed odd things like that for me sometimes... also cant hurt to clear dalvik cache too jic... that has also helped at times. use a program like root explorer to check if busybox is actually there as well. other then that i have to shrug my shoulders lol
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnusesandroid:
actually I was thinking about doing the fix permissions thing last night but I couldn't remember where I saw the option to do that :D

Anyways, I did try it just now as well as clearing the dalvik cache and they didn't seem to help.

I also tried root explorer last night (bought it just for this purpose) but it doesn't seem to be pulling up any data, it just hangs at a black screen when I open it and then it force closes.

I have a guess though but I have no way of confirming this since ls and explorers doesn't seem to work.

I used to have "su" in /system/bin as well as a couple of self-written scripts but they don't seem to be there anymore. when I try "/system/bin/su" or any of my scripts it give me the "not found" message

While poking around I then realized that there is a "su" in xbin (this is the one that runs when su is called without it's direct path). I'm guessing this works since root checking detects it.

So, I'm thinking maybe my /system/bin got wiped out when the new stuff (eg su) in xbin got created? Then maybe I don't have proper access to xbin? Like maybe when I installed busy box, it wiped out some of my stuff in /bin and copied/created then in /xbin and failed to set permissions?

Does this sound possible? Also, would it be possible to reflash /bin and /xbin to whatever came with CM7 maybe?

Thanks
