Scosche

I just bought these headphones to try our as I wanted separate controls for the volume.

Scosche IDR653MD from Amazon for $40 (Sorry, since I'm a newb I can't post a link)

They were designed with Android specifically in mind according to the guy I talked to at Scosche.

While I didn't find many reviews, the reviews I found were generally positive.

It works, because the volume slider doesn't change the volume on the phone, it just changes the volume to the headphones. The single button works as any other would.

So here is my thought on the Headphones.

The build quality of the headphones is a little on the cheap side. It's not horrible, but I think even Skullcandy's build quality is better in some cases. The bud tips are of good quality thankfully and the fitment and comfort level is pretty good. I don't notice them falling out either. The controls are down where the to headsets split and the mic is on the read earbud lead. I would have prefered the volume be up by the mic, but I can see this wouldn't have been possible with they way they are controlling the volume which I will explain further down.

I'm not audiophile, but the sound is actually pretty good in my opinion. It is certainly not as good as meelectronics M9's or Klipsch Image S4A's, but I think they are better than skullcandy by a great deal. I even think they sound better than Beats. Its obvious Scosche spent more on the sound quality than the build quality here.

The volume doesn't work perfectly. All the way down and the volume is off. And all the way up and the volume is as loud as you have the setting on the phone. But in the middle isn’t perfectly linear. If you have the slider anywhere other than off or max, the volume is somewhere around mid-range. So taking the slider off the bottom gets you a more medium/low sound 9not a whisper quiet as you might expect. As you move it up more it goes to medium, and then what I would call a medium/high side. As you’re moving the slider it doesn't gradually change, it’s like there is about 3 or four spots along the slide you hear the volume distinctly change. Once you put it in the max position volume gets very noticeably louder.

With all that said; although the volume control isn’t perfect, I found it more than acceptable for a volume control.

The single button works like any other and I am using it with Jay's headphone control app to control the single button. I use the button to answer and end calls, skip forward and backwards on tracks, and pause and play tracks. The only function that doesn't seem to work is muting calls, but I care little about that.

So overall, if you really want separate volume control like I did. I really feel these Scosche headphones are the best option at the moment.

Unless someone else has found something better.

Really? So does that mean that most earphones with mic + volume that was designed for the iphones will work on non-samsung android phones? Because no matter what retail store i go, most earbuds with mic and volume rocker specifically indicates it was made for iphones. The only dedicated 3rd party earbuds i saw in "retail stores" is the kplish s4a (i think), it said it on the box but it was like $99. If that is true, wow that sucks for us samsung android phone owners :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] derrick_:
No. Most use a special iPhone specific functionality
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keplenk:
I'm just talking about the basic functions - Mic, Volume control + a click button. Those usually cost like $9-$15 (Skullcandy, etc)

I'm not talking about those fancy ones with skip track and stuff like that. As I look at it, those 3rd party earphones are exactly the same with the OEM Apple earphones (mic+volume rocker). No other "special" Iphone specific function you are mentioning, unless I'm missing something.

Anyway, I just tried my wife's iPhone headphones with mic + volume rocker and it did not work on my co-workers Droid Maxx and HTC Evo 4G. Mic and Volume rocker is not working. The only thing that is working is the click button (pause tracks).

On the other hand, I tried my wife's old iPhone earphones with *MIC* only (No volume rocker). It works on everything (Note, Maxx, Evo). Mic works and click button.

The way I look at it, once you add volume rocker hardware on "made-for-iPhone" 3rd party earphones, the mic will also not work. If it was just a mic functionality and no hardware volume rocker installed, it will work both in Android + iPhones.

I don't think it is just a Samsung only thing. Again, I'm just talking about MIC + Volume rocker since that is all what I really need. However, I think I read that Samsung jacks have different pins or something.

I really find it disturbing that these manufacturers won't make Android compatible earphones or at least put it in the box. Its all about iPhones/iPad/iTouch on the labels :(

I guess I have to find a cheap earphones that has an independent volume rocker with a mic that works on my Note.

btw Thanks for replying. :D

I use a pair of plantronics Bluetooth stereo headsets I love them, no wires to get caught anywhere, when using the phone people hear me clearly even while driving with windows down. While listening to music I get great sound I can higher the volume, skip tracks, I could also use my hands free voice controls.. I bought it a while back for $99 but seen it for way cheaper. Might be worth trying out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hashbrown:
The headphones out of the box from the samsung galaxy skyrocket works just fine. Great sound quality and people can hear you

Through the mic. I just got the sky rocket for my wife and was lied to in my face by the sales rep and manager that the headphones would not work on the note. They tried to sell me on 100 dollar pair of dr dre beats earbuds. Said nothing else would work. Whatever. If you can find some sky rockets or maybe even galaxy s 2 stock earphones they work great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esincho:
I have power beats and

studio beats by dre. Neither Mic works on the note, but both work on my tmo s2. Shrug
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hashbrown:
Just confirming that these earphones will play (ofcourse)and allow you to use the mic. The rocker isn't working for volume or skip tracks. Just pauses music when you toggle it. I don't know if this is hardware or software related. maybe someone with the skyrocket rom port can confirm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SweetRedVoice:
±1 Thanks! I resurrected my old Zagg Smartbuds that i used with my iPhone. They work like a charm. Great sound, voice quality over the Mic is also good. Even the volume and music controls work. I got those with a 50% off coupon but I have seen them as low as $19.99 on Amazon.

I have a pair of overear Monster Beats DJ headphones w/talk only cable from another pair of headphones.

I also have a pair of red/white NoiseHush NX80s earbuds, which come in a few different color combinations. They have the flat tangle-free talk cord and are really nice & reasonably priced. The call clarity is clear and they have enhanced bass. The other cool factor is that not many people know about them, so you don't see a whole bunch of people with the same ones you have.

Got a pair of Soul 150's and the mic works well. It comes with 2 cords, one regular and one that is ipod ready with the controls. Both work with voice calls. The iPod cord's middle button skips to the next song if you double tap it, but the forward and backward buttons do nothing.

Sound quality has been nice and clear, with decent bass.

I am now using the Skull Candy Smokin Buds. I am stock and using the free Klipsch App from the market.

Mic works, foward, reverse track, stop, call answer, Volume up and down. All with the single button just like the Klipsch S4A's.

These are on sale this week at Best buy for $24.99

I have the Klipsch S4A's and even for the $70 I paid for them they didn't seem worth it. The sound was good as long as you put them so far into your ear it was painful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] neko_tensai:
This may seem silly but it works. It is obviously for home usage or office usage but you could wear it around town and be a total nerd. There are two included adapters that come in VERY handy with any other headsets, phones and computers. The voice quality is good, boom mic and audio in both ears, plus it has a volume control in the line. Using voip, skype, GV and other com solutions is enhanced with this, as without it sometimes they are not usable. I have a neck injury and require headsets for phone, this one has saved me with various phones, work and mobile included.

http://www.officemax.com/technology...sku=22358495&gclid=CMHVnOLC1rACFUSK4AodeCYT3w

The second one I use is a Koss iSpark, very low frequency response and cushioned ear fitting earbuds that cancel ambient noise very very well. They are daily music earbuds and double as phone, in which case I take 1 out of my ear and tuck into the collar of my shirt while the one with the mic on the wire stays in my ear for obvious reasons. Again, it is the Koss iSpark. Now, there may be an issue with echo on the other parties call, I have just heard mention of it today. You will easily be able to block outside noise, NYC MTA included. The bass response is very good, of course Ive not bought expensive ones.

There must be something wrong with my plug. I've tried two headsets from previous Samsung phones and now some Soul sl99's and nobody can hear me when I use the microphone.

I could care less about the controls.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ricktat:
The Soul Mic didn't work on my phone either. The Skull Candy Smokin buds does work for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JeremyE77:
Your Beats, your Bose, Your Skullcandy...all the headphones "made for iPhone" that have a microphone that does not work can be fixed super easy. It took a lot of google work to find this.

Whilst you are plugging the headphone into the device hold the primary button ( middle button idk its exact name) down on the headsets inline set while inserting the plug.

Hold down button...continue to hold while plugging in = working microphone + whatever buttons the software you are using poll for.

Works on my Beats Tour, Some Shure headphones, Bose Mie2i, & and even a pair of novelty headphones.

I just received my Wireless Miikey Rhythm Headset Thursday (white). It took it about 2hrs 45mins out of the box to fully charge. So as I am in my 12th hour on the battery listening to music aside from 45mins in a phone call as well. I wanted something that I could use to operate the phone call features of the phone while listening to music. Another reason for buying these is all the reviews I came across basically were very good and even suggested that they sound if not just as good but better than Beats by Dre for a better price.

I have to say that the sound quality is impressive. I can finally hear my music the way it was meant to be heard for a change. The bass and treble is well balanced and if your player has an equalizer that makes fine tuning your music even better.

The 1st 4hrs of music play I used the Bluetooth connection only. I plugged the headset into my G-Note and now I am at 12hrs into play. The manual states that the headset will provide 10hrs of talk time and 7hrs of music playback time.

Hi XDA, i want to move my apps to SD (Im Root user)

I made 3 partitions:

When i go to Link2SD, i choose "ext3" and a error appears:

"mount script not be created. mount:Not such device. Ext4 may not be supported on your device, try fat 32 on the second partition"

I tried selecting ext2, ext3 and ext4 and NOTHING :(

I restart the phone, and NOTHING

I tried to install another version of the Link2SD and NOTHING :(

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Well, you put it somewhat wrong...

The Stock ROM does not contain the required kernel modules for supporting EXT2/3/4 filesystems.

Also - why did you create a SWAP partition? Stock Kernel does NOT support swap!

You may try to borrow the modules from the GingerDX ModulesStockKernel AddOn and see if they work with Eclair. This, however, requires that you know what you are doing as you need to copy the kernel modules from the ZIP into the correct location and maybe alter a script to load them at boot-up.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KbZonFS:
A friend gives me the libs And the modules. But Eclair don't have the /system/lib/modules folder.

If i put the libs and create the MODULES folder and paste the ext3.ko file... I don't brick my Xperia x8? Eclair detects the new libs and the folder modules?

Chances are you need to put them into the hw_config.sh file to automatically load them during boot - there are tons of threads about this topic, use SEARCH.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawoods:
did you create the both partitions as primary??

- first partition (FAT32/Primary/more than 1GB)

- second partition (FAT32/Primary/500MB)

- ignore if there is notification to format your SD Card.

- Reboot.

- Install link2SD, Open it.

- Choose your Partition (select the second partition)

- Reboot.

- To move the App to your external, click the Apps/Games.

- Select Create Link. Reboot

Note: You just can create 2 partitions if you use 2GB SD card.

Find and edit the hw_config.sh

As an example about the Overclock module, you would put the following line:

insmod /system/lib/modules/x8oc.ko

Savvy?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawoods:
you must create just 2 partition and both are FAT32 Primary. I've tried that way and link2sd work great. You dont need to create swap, because it doesnt work on stock kernel.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Yes...

insmod /system/lib/modules/ext3.ko

insmod /system/lib/modules/ext4.ko

(and maybe you even need to specify the jbd*.ko modules if the ext modules doesn't load them automatically).

Editing hw_config.sh is "secure", but chances are that you could end up in a boot loop if the ROM doesn't love your modifications.

In that case you need to re-flash Stock to undo your changes and try anew.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
The ext3.ko and ext4.ko have a dependency on jbd.ko and jbd2.ko

This means you possibly also need to load the modules to make ext3|4.ko work.

* "jdb" is short for "Journalled Block Device" ... ext3 and ext4 are journalled file systems keeping a transaction log of the things that happened in the fs to quickly recover from filesystem corruption.

Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem with the Stock HTC SMS/Backup feature included in most roms for the 3D. Here's a picture of what I'm experiencing.

The problem is that when ever I restore the backups I've done after flashing a new rom, it seems to create additional apostrophe's where ever they are used.

Example

"I'm getting ready"

becomes

"I''m getting ready"

and then the next time I back up restore it's become

"I'''m getting ready"

untill it's basically "I'''''''''''''''m getting ready" and then I have to delete everything and start over.

does anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it? Any help would be appreciated as this is one of those ugly bugs that makes me want to shoot myself.
