Bought a set of these from Amazon. Great build quality and sound for the price. However, the remote does not work with my bone stock Evo. Can't control calls or any of the music apps (most notably bTunes).

Update: I tried the headphones on my iPhone and it didn't work either. So at this point I'm assuming it's defective.
[EVO 4G Accessories] IceCreaMan:
this phone should have come with headsets, but unfort it looks like all manfu or carriers are starting to reduce accessories with smartphones. if apple can still give headsets with their iphones 3g/3gs/4g then there is no reason why we could not have them with the evo...
[EVO 4G Accessories] Childofthehorn:
Are we sure of the pinout/config of the EVO?

I know that for the iPhone, all you need is a momentary pushbutton switch that connects the Ground to the Mic line with normal state as open

however, if i'm walking through the airport terminal or at the supermarket, i'll put on my lg bluetooth head phones and i never worry about wires getting caught in something and knocking my headphones off or worse...knocking my phone out of my pockets and on to the floor.

I bought the Klipsch S4s and I'm very happy with them. I don't really need inline volume or skip controls. Just wanted good sound and a headphone with a high sensitivity rating (my JVC Marshmallows weren't loud enough).
[EVO 4G Accessories] rigg419:
I'm using a pair of Sony MDR-EX38iP Earbuds with iPod Remote. I really like them so far, I just wish the volume control worked, but you can't win em all.

I listen to mostly podcasts, but also some music, and the headphones sound very good to me. they are clear and bright, with good detail but somewhat lacking in bass. Also, the mic quality is indistinguishable from the mic on the handset according to people I've talked to while using the headset.

Below is the link to the sony style store, but you can find them on amazon for about $10 cheaper. I got them at Target for the $40 list price.

[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
It works on mine, did you manage to get it working? If not, I've heard MEElec's support is top notch so getting a replacement shouldn't be an issue. I guess it's possible the remote could short out and not the headphone... Are you pressing it right? Seems kind of obvious but I didn't even realize the button was inside the mic casing at first (some IEM's separate the button/mic, etc.).

I'd hate to think I lead ya astray with my recommendation... But the button on mine pauses music just fine and answers calls.

Yeah, they've got some competitive models but not many at the low end... Koss & JVC are pretty good value brands, a step above them there's a bunch smaller brands that offer a pretty good value...

[EVO 4G Accessories] wrxlvr:
And that totally doesn't matter for our phones since the sound output from the headphone jack is so bad.

I unplugged my headphones (Klipsch S4) from my Evo, and plugged them into some other things (computer, stereo, etc), and the difference is huge.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Brutal-Force:
^^^

What he said.

I have been through about 10 different sets of Headphones from Bestbuy (I know it cost more, but its hassle free return).

Let me preface this, I work on buses and am typically in a very loud work environment.

I have tried the Jawbone, The Jawbone Icon, Blueant, Plantronics Voyager, Motorola S9-HD, Some JVC Gummies and Some Sony (don't remember which ones), Skullcandy and now I am on V-moda Remix.

In my experience, Bluetooth does not put out enough power to create a good sound. While the S9-HDs have a nice sound, they are by far not loud enough, and they are difficult to make fit right unless you have just the right sized head. The Plantronics while loud, sounded a bit tin-ny, although people that I spoke with said it had great call clarity. The Jawbones and Blueants were hard to get adjusted properly, and people complained of call quality. Sound was clear, but not loud.Th biggest problem with bluetooth though, is the constant skipping associated with it while listening to music.

The JVC and Sony, and Skullcandy Earbuds were good for music listening, but fail for phone calls. This is a trend for the lesser cost headsets. Also while they are generally louder, the clearly lack the clarity of some higher cost headsets. You hear a smaller bandwidth. For instance cymbals are either non existent or blunt sousounding. Furthermore adding a microphone raises the cost from 25-50 dollars for a quality set.

I had a very small selection of Headsets with mics at Bestbuy. They did not have the Klipsch S4i that I have heard good things from, they did have the V-moda Faze and Remixes as well as a pair of Bose w/mic. There were also some rocketfish and some lesser named sets. I chose the V-moda remix (my return was for BT S9-HD) so the cost was the same.

As someone pointed out, when I plug the Remix' into the headset jack, the sound is just not loud, but if you plug into another device with good output, these things are amazing. The mic quality is great, so the final determination is, the phone lacks the power to drive a good pair of headphones. I will be looking for an inline amp (if they make such a thing), but its not so bad I can't live with it.

For those looking for good sound, I just ordered this. http://www.headphonedeals.com/joomla/tmresearch/38-catresearch/96-fiio-e5-headphone-amplifier-review

It runs about 20-25 dollars and gets good reviews from people who know their stuff about music.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wrxlvr:
I went with the highest sensitivity headphones I could get without breaking the bank too much (I set my budget at less than $100) just to get loud enough sound. And I've just come to accept the fact that good sound isn't going to come out of the headphone jack of this phone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wrxlvr:
Let me know how it works with the Evo once you get it!
[EVO 4G Accessories] hd54321:
It was a defective unit. Got an exchange from Amazon and it works great. I love the quality of the headphones - feels like it's worth much more than the $22 I paid for it. However, I don't think the mic is that great. It would be great if the mics on some of these units had noise cancelling.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mikesus:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...4157347&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_500wt_928

$22 bux and they are both stereo headphones and has a mic for phone calls.

Best Buy get $60 for em, and the reviews are good. I have a pair and they really sound great for $20ish..
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
Cool, I haven't had any comments on the mic's quality... I'll have to get someone to speak thru it for me so I can hear it on the other end sometime, or test it w/the voice recorder I guess. I asked my sister once or twice if it sounded ok and she said it sounded fine but I think I was using it around the house so there was no background noise or anything. Newegg has 'em in black and silver for $23 w/free S&H now btw (they didn't have the black ones for a while, nor did MEElec themselves).
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
I've had no trouble getting good volume out of my M9P btw, I actually turn the EVO down pretty low while listening to them... I haven't compared them thoroughly on the EVO vs on another device tho but sound didn't seem off or any worse than my old iPod touch (admittedly not the highest benchmark).
[EVO 4G Accessories] gsrboy171:
do you have problems opening the audio eq when you dont have sevice like in the subway?

totally agree. sounds crazy with the S9-HD

try the S9-HD with audio EQ

the S9-HD is loud with the audio EQ app. i put on the noise canceling ear buds. sometimes i have to turn the volume down. it sounds very very good.

iam a DJ by the way with a 7,000 watt system and i love low end (20hz-50hz) bass. the S9-hd with proper tunning does it nicely.

sorry for bringing this up from the DEAD lol.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jglynn:
Do you use the S9's for working out? I'm looking for a pair of BT headphones but I hear that sweat messes them up.
[EVO 4G Accessories] BIGWORM:
'Tis true. I had a pair of the non-HD ones, and sweat seeped inside of the rubber housing, killing it. Right now, I have the Nokia BH-214 coupled with a pair of Paul Frank Ink'd earbuds and they're great.

Just giving you the heads up, Android development section is for posting your own Roms, mods, and etc.

But my personal favorite ATM is Fresh 2.1.1 Basic, but incredibly fast and customizable, and Flipz is a very active supporter. There are other great Roms too, but Fresh was my first.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] collin_ph:
I highly recommend DamageControl -- I update it to the fresh toast kernel so you can overclock. It looks a lot like stock but performs 10x better. The updating of the kernel is easy to do, and outlined in the thread /showthread.php?t=690238

Play with damagecontrol first, then if you want Overclocking (or, more correctly, reclocking), give the kernel update a try-- it's just basically flashing a file on top of the damagecontrol rom. Either way, it's way better than stock and still has sense if you want it.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gotsteve2006:
Is there a guide on how to install Roms?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] get-Apache:
usually the base instructions are included on the first page of the custom rom thread. That said you usually do this:

1) install a recovery image, I use this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=672324

place the image of your choice - the only difference is the picture which is shown - on the sd card and flash the image into the phone by using the instructions here

2) choose one of the ROMs, I use the 2.1 roms and think you should try the fresh ROM 2.1.2 which is stable yet has the newest base without the overclocking. Go here and read the info and download:

http://geekfor.me/new-release/fresh-rom-212/

after you place the downloaded zip image on your sd card, you will need to place your phone in recovery mode by doing this:

a) powercycle down (press and hold the red hang up button for a sec until you get the menu and press power down)

b) next, hold the menu key down and then press the red hang up key briefly, you should feel the buzz of the phone starting but continue holding the menu key for about 5 secs until the recovery menu comes up.

c) At this point you will want to either nandroid backup your build which I think is not really necessary because your config will be so different going from 1.5 to 2.1. but you can if you want to restore back to a 1.5 rom

d) Next you need to wipe the data off the phone by choosing "wipe" and choose restore to factory default - this will remove all data from your phone

e) go to the flash from sd option and choose the rom you have placed in the SD card.

you need to confirm the flash by pressing "home" and away you go.

d) you then need to press "reboot" and the phone will shut down recovery mode and flash the rom. This initial flash will take a while, some ROMs take 3 mins some take 10.

After this you are up and running, if not, post questions in the forum for help.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] athanos:
1. Make sure you are rooted.

2. Find the ROM zip of your choosing and put it on the sd card (not in any folder)

3. Boot into recovery

4. Backup/Restore - Nand backup

(Optional if you want to use aps2sd - 5)

5. Partition sdcard

- just follow the prompts

- I reccomend also doing SD:ext2 to SD:ext3

6. Wipe

- wipe data/factory reset

- (optional a. wipe dalvik-cache b. wipe SD:ext partition) - only need to do if you are going to use apss2sd

7. Flash zip from sdcard

8. select your rom zip

9. press home to start flashing

10. reboot system and wait. Some roms take quite awhile to load up the first time (10+minutes)

Hope this helps. I'm sure there are other threads that explain it better than I have. Just search and you should find something.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regaw_leinad:
"Rooting" 2.1 had nothing to do w/ making custom ROMs simply because you could pull apart the rom.zip and make a custom one even w/o having root. Gaining root just enables the people w/ 2.1 on it to free their phone basically :p

Just paired a motorola bluetooth headset to the phone. I can't seem to figure out how to get the call button to work on it. In windows mobile, hitting it would start up voice command, but on the evo, it does nothing. Does anyone know how to assign that to a voice search.
[Desire General] creutzwald1105:
Hi, just got my Desire :D

My problem is that I can remember seeing in videos about Android (or was it the iPhone?) that when I click on a Youtube link the Youtube app opens and I can rate the video etc and then return to the website.

But on my Desire the Youtube website opens and I have to click on the video and the "HTC Flashplayer" plays the video in bad quality.

Other example: On a website is the Youtube Player embedded and I click on the video. Again, the HTC Player opens and plays the video in bad quality. Now I have no chance to get to the Youtube site and rate or comment the video.

When i disable flash support the video isn't avaible at all. Is it possible to link the youtube videos to the Yutube app? I think I missed a checkbox or something...:confused: When I found a video I will post it here. Thanks for your help :o
[Desire General] samac92:
Yep I posted a thread saying exactly the same thing a while ago, sadly there isn't anything you can do about it, it's one of those stupid decisions HTC have made.

If you root your phone and install froyo 2.2 however, videos will play from websites in the youtube app. But as soon as you install flash 10.1 beta you're back to the same problem, where it forces you to use the flash player instead of the excellent quality h.264 version. (in fact flash 10.1 beta is probably even worse than flash lite right now for playing youtube videos.) However if you do load up the flash version on froyo then tap on it, it does give you the option to open in the youtube app, but you have to load up the flash version first before it gives you the option.
[Desire General] creutzwald1105:
When I disable flash in the options I doesn't see the video at all :mad: And in the options the HTC flashplayer say that he is 'No standard app' ("Kein Standard").

Isn't there a registry (coming from WM :D) or something like that?
[Desire General] th3:
The only way for you to get such an option is to use a non-default browser. Like Dolphin HD. Using that, you do get such options when a YouTube link is clicked. Tragic decision by HTC, no doubt (although I don't have your limitation, oddly).
