[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adaman7:
I know there will be varying opinions about this, I have had my droid 2 for a long time and will be upgrading to something with 4G very soon so I wanted to get some opinions on:

1)What is the easiest 4G phone out there to root.

2)What is the best 4G phone to root/rom and why? (slightly more opinionated)

Thanks in advance for your time in posting your reasons and your help in deciding.

Are there any in ear headphones that have 3 button volume controls that will work with the S3?

I currently have the Klipsch S4i so I wanted to know if there is anyway to get the volume buttons to work on the S3 (I don't like the S4a version since it's only one button).

Thanks.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] MrMrMr111:
I have ordered the a-jay One+ headphones. It has a mic and button on, and has a specific Android app for controlling what the button does.

You can modify what you want the button to do, but it by default does, play/stop, FF, rewind, volume up/down

The HTC ones that came with my Desire work fine. Much prefer them for cycling with as the in ear types block out sounds of traffic etc around you. There's no volume control but you can skip tracks, pause, play and take calls.

I own a pair of Beats Pro headphones and have a volume control Monster cable.

On my S3, the volume buttons do not work at all, but the mic and the centre button works fine. If I use poweramp, you can set up the double and triple click of the centre button to change tracks.

However, I would love to obtain control of the volume buttons as well...does anyone have any ideas on how this might be achieved? I have been looking for some kind of adapters or something..but no luck...

I also wouldn't mind changing the Monster cable to a volume control compatible one. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ronak47:
Headset droid allows you to set the change track button as volume control by holding the button down. Nothing else seems to work in the same manner from my searching.

Hope this helps.

This is the newer version I have the E5 although I've just ordered the one above .

Combined with the shures or a good quality set of headphones this set up works superb on all devices.I've used this for the past few years and nothing has come close to the quality .
[Galaxy S III Accessories] b0gd4n:
this is really interesting, but not exactly what i'm looking for.

I mean, the idea was to not have to pull the phone out of the pocket every time I wanted to change the volume, track or answer a call...

I would be nice if the amp would have a mic built into it..

EDIT: and one other thing...the mic won't work with an amp...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Motogp1:
I also have a set of these

They both control volume, skip tracks etc the sound quality is actually pretty good on both sets .

And the bonus is you can answer calls :D

[Galaxy S III Accessories] weaselchops:
It is shame that some of these phone manufactures don't come up with a standard interface for a volume control.

I was looking for ages when I had my S2 for a proper headset with volume, never happened. But now I find the new one that comes with the S3 will also control the S2?

All I want is an adaptor to plug my own headphones in :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] b0gd4n:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kurai Kitsune:
Hi guys

I have the Scosche Increased Dynamic Range earphones with tapLINE II control technology. Long damn model name i know... but i couldn't ask for better sound.

The mic strangely doesn't seem to work for phone calls on my S3. it works fine on skype.

I do have that cheap 'nokia' adapter from ebay kicking around somewhere, i'll have to give it some testing later after work. When opening the S3 i was so hopeful because they provided headphones with volume control on them, but the standard iphone connectors aren't supported. I'll update you guys if my cheap'o adapter works at all. It feels a bit flimsy so might be tempted to get a better quality one if it does.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] b0gd4n:

Okay, simple to say do NOT get this one for the SGS3. The pins are TOO different lol. when you press the middle button you just get noise like the ground pin is in the wrong place. and no volume control. I'm surprised it gets sound. But i think this could break the SGS3 or your headphones.

So, back to square one...

I have zagg buds. Sold by Zagg.com.

The volume adjustment is a slide adjustment and works perfectly. There is also a single button to control playback. It works for play/pause and next song. Doesn't seem to work for going back a song but I'm going to try some of those headphone apps to see if that works.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] demarcmj:
I really like the look of the a-Jays series (and that flat tangle-free cable). My problem is this: they make 4 levels of quality, a-JAYS One, Two, Three, Four, yet they don't make the "+" version (the version with the android-compatible 1-button remote) for all four versions. Why not?

They only make the remote on the a-JAYS One (making it the a-JAYS One+), which is their lowest quality headphone.

From what I've read of this series, the a-JAYS Three is the best compromise of price and quality, but there's no "+" version with the remote.

And then there's the a-JAYS Four which comes with the apple-style 3-button controls (and even comes in a white version, which would look sweet with the white SGSIII). But from what I understand, those controls don't work with Android?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] thelastred:
Does anybody know if the Nokia/monster headphones mic and volume work on android
[Galaxy S III Accessories] b0gd4n:
it's not "on android" in general. it depends on the phone.

For example, on my S1 the beats cable with 3 buttons and mic worked very bad: the mic, and the volume buttons did not work at all; you normally got very low volume, but when the centre button on the cable was pressed, the volume was normal.

Now, on my S3, the volume is normal without having to press the button, and the centre button works well(you can play/pause tracks); but the volume buttons do not work at all, and the mic is not working properly ( sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thelastred:
The headphone jack was setup differently on galaxy s 1 then the galaxys2 &3 thats why. But the galaxy s , tab Sony (not Sony ericsson) htc have same hp jack as iPhone.

Then i installed Livekey restarted the phone and again NO..

Liveware is functioning properly for auto-start an app as i plug in my headset.. But with the Livekey button i see that there is no use...

I hope some DEV-GOD finds something to sort things out,,, i am willing to email Sony support if there is any answer~!!

If somebody finds anything i will appreciate it to hear it!!

Looking forward to the solution!:good:

After some research I found the live key SDK from Sony which provides a livekey emulator... So it seems that liveware app is working fine and is mapping fine the pressing of livekey as I emulated it. Unfortunately that means that there is a compatibility issue with the pin Jack connection of sgsiii...

RESULTS: Livekey doesn't work on sgsiii

I didn't want to repair them (I just bought a new set at the time; as you say, they are very cheap) but I was instead trying to attach a standard 3.5mm line socket to the end of the wire.

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum but have been lurking around searching Google for the same answer.

I'm about to switch from an iPhone 4s to a Galaxy S3, but am hesitant because of the headphones issue. I've come to learn that not all features of iPhone-compatible headphones work perfectly with the S3. I do not wish to give up using my old headphones (having spent about $300), and wish to keep the volume, mic, and centre button features. I was wondering if there is an adapter solution to this problem. I've looked around, many talked about the Fiio LU2 adapter - yet through other threads and posts, I've found that it is not compatible.

I was wondering if buying the Ultimate Ears 200vm would help; is it possible for me to take the adapter from that headphone and use it with my old headphones? Or would there be a better, and/or cheaper solution without me having to open up my headphones and run the risk of destroying them?

If you pull the plug and replug them during the call you can then hear the other party but the mic doesn't work. So yeah......do not buy! I have to send mine back now.

On another note, the Bose MIE2's work great with the phone and sound really good.......they do not have volume control though. Mic works good however.
