[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] a10ciod:
I have the Beats by Dre headphones with the built in mic and controls. The track selector/volume control does not work with the device. However, the play/pause button does. The headphones are still a required purchase. Especially if you download the PowerAmp music player and use the equalizer controls. It puts other devices (i.e. ipod touch) to shame when it comes to clarity and quality of music.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] adrienspawn:
Indeed Dr Dre is crap, as is Bose.

Do the product research.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] xKERNALx:
Yeah I looked up the prices today, and wouldn't see myself paying 100$+ on headphones unless I really knew I loved them.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gravis86:
Bose is okay (better than Beats anyway) but over-priced. If they were to charge half as much as they do, then they would be worth it.

I used to have some Etymotic ER-6's and they were great. Now I'm using the Sennheiser HD380 Pro's and they're awesome! The frequency response is absolutely amazing.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bkrill:
I did do product research. I've seen good reviews and bad reviews. I have been unable to find any reviews specifically mentioning whether they work the the Tmobile g2 hence i asked if they worked with it. I wasn't asking for you opinion on the quality.

And i think Bose if fine. I'm by no means a music expert on sound quality. they could very well be a piece of **** when it comes to sound quality to someone who is an audiophile but i am not and they sound great to me. i bought a set of Bose headphones about three years ago and used them everyday while walking to class, work and while running and they worked perfectly for 2 and half years. Then one earphone blew probably cause i played music loud on it every single day. I have never had a pair of headphones last that long. I was happy that i paid under 5 dollars a month to use them. So unless you are here to answer the original question. keep you opinions to yourself. i want facts not opinions.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gravis86:
Apple used to use a different plug layout so that non-Apple headsets wouldn't work properly. They may or may not do this still. Your best bet is to take your G2 with you to a store like BestBuy and see if they'll let you hook it up to their demo and test it out.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] adrienspawn:
You would have been even more happy to pay 1$ a month for the exact same thing. You said it yourself, you're not an audiophile, so buy something cheap that an audiophile recommends.

It's funny that you'd ask whether 3.5mm cans/plugs would function in 3.5mm females...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bkrill:
I am asking if the buttons work. not if the male female parts work. I'm not that dumb. Just cause your headphones with inline buttons plug into your phone does not mean all the inline buttons work. And noone has recommended a cheap pair of headphones with inline buttons that can play, pause, skip forward, skip backward, answer and end calls. if you have one that will work with the Tmobile G2 please recommend them

When I went to Home Theater School... They had a saying that I use regularly.. "No Highs, No Lows.... Must be a Bose"\\

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Nighte:
How did this thread turn into a hate thread on Bose?

First of all, if they were really that bad, they wouldn't be around for decades and they wouldn't be worth billions, so what do you people have against Bose? If you don't like them, don't recommend them. Why is there a need to flame them? Although they seem to be doing fine even with the bashing they receive.

Secondly, they exceed any other company in terms of comfort. True, their sound could be better for the price, but if an equilibrium of comfort and sound quality is important to the user then suddenly Bose doesn't seem so bad. They are second to none when it comes to comfort. Many Bose users will attest to this, or simply go to their store and put on a pair of headsets.

True, Dre Beats aren't good, but their selling point IS the extensive bass, so simply don't purchase the product if you don't like them.

I personally don't like them either, but I don't go around saying things like "Dre Beats is crap" -Period-

Back it up with a reason, and let the other person decide if it fits their need. Some people may listen to a lot of Hip Hop, which is the type of music that Dre Beats would really bring out, it would get their head bobbing.

So please, if you're going to flame, do it properly. Preferably though, don't do it at all, simply just recommend the brands that you do appreciate. If Bose or any other company is really that bad, no one will recommend them at all, and only the brands that are truly good will be mentioned.

Back on topic though, I know that there are a lot of mobile headsets that have the talk/endtalk function along with a pause/play function that work, but I've yet to find a pair where the "Next" and "Prev" buttons work.

Basically any mobile headset that wasn't specifically made for Apple products will work (note that the sound will still function).

However I can recommend Sony Klipsch, Shure, Sennheisers products, where the price ranges from low to high, and they're generally worth the money. Bose is alright, but they're expensive and produce a fair sound quality but are extremely comfortable. You can get better sound for the price.

Thats my two cents.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Freaknik:
I have a pair of the solo hds and the volume buttons do not work. The play/pause does and the next track also works. I forgot how to try reverse track but Im sure it will work if Next track does. Hope that helps you! Im using Poweramp media player and stock froyo music player both work.

Edit: Also people claiming the Beats suck, please stop the whining. Just like this guy, Im also into listening to music but not an audiophile. The Beats look great, which is a huge plus. i don't want to walk around wearing ugly ass headphones, and sound great for the music I listen to which is Hip-Hop..definitely drives the bass for some of my songs.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] smg400:
I researched for a few days and decided on the v-moda remix remote (3button) for my Desire Z. I heard they were quite bass-heavy but I'm ok with that. The sound was quite nice, and the call button works for controlling music (but the other buttons do nothing). The website states that the "Mic + call control compatible with any iPhone and all phones with a 3.5mm port". It goes on to describe that not all of the 3 button functions are compatible with all phones, blah, blah, but you would assume that at least the microphone works, right? Unfortunately no. I emailed support and they replied:

"It seems they are not compatible. We hope to have a HTC/droid compatible model out later this year."

Well thanks for nothing! Anyway, onto my question. Has anyone had any success with any of the v-moda headsets with mic? I'm thinking of moving onto the vibe II, maybe I'm a sucker for punishment. :o

At our store here in Indy we were taking customers phones that did not yet have get the 2.2 update and was using the 2.2 update.zip to update people OTW.

You don't already have to 2.2 installed for the update.zip to work. You just need a stock 2.1 phone with stock recovery on it.

Ok, I must say that I have not had any reason to complain regarding the ROM's that I'm using, I will make this thread a bash of them either, but Ineed to understand a few things....

Ok so I have been running CM6.1.0 stable for a few weeks (since it was made available) and really have not had many issues. As a matter of fact it runs very smooth. I have since installed Pershoot's kernel and it much improved my battery....and here lies the issue I have tried to run many scenarios to improve my battery duration (about 8 hrs on ChiChis 1800 mAh).

So I have installed the following apps:

- Advanced task Killer - set on agressive

- Juice Defender - set to turn off all connections while screen is off

- Juice Tracker - Plots battery consumption (very nice!!!)

And while my battery performance has increased greatly...I'm getting anywhere between 13 to 17 hrs depending on use and gaming.

The other thing that I found rather odd was the fact that I no longer have the 5 different options on SetCPU. I am limited to:

- Performance

- On Demand

- User space (recommended not to be used by dev).

I am missing:

- Conservative

- ???? I forgot what what the other level

Nayone having or had anything like this?

As I'm typing this I'm downloading the Pershoot Kernel, but I am still hesitant about the CM 6.1.1.

Thanks!!!

[G Tablet General] jpmi23:
Thanx to the XDA community for your support - Via @ViewSonic on Twitter!

Nice work guys!!!
[G Tablet General] teleknEsis:
It's things like this that make me so furious that I'm not the one calling the shots at ViewSonic. They are sitting on a gold mine right now but it's covered in feces and only devs/techies can see it.

No political tie is worth the amount of $$ they are losing on this product right now (the only logical reason I can think of for them to keep TapNTap alive) and all they have to do is release it with a ROM comparable to VegaN or hell even stock android and these things wouldn't be able to stay on shelves more than 5 minutes.

ViewSonic PLEASE get your sh*t together and release s/w that truly shows off the capabilities of this amazing hardware!!!
[G Tablet General] cybik:
Dude, chill the F out. Viewsonic just acknowledged that the software mods are a good thing, that they -might- open the possibility of uninstalling TnT, and most important, they're releasing the kernel sources this week.

They're giving the community the tools, giving Staples the Finger on the internet, and are saying "our hardware is badass and you guys are making us proud of our product. Go Community!".

So chill out.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
First of all, your icon reminds me of something: When is Rush's new album coming out? :)

Though articulated in a crude manner, the points are valid. The device should not have been released as is and the FW package was a dysfunctional mess. Staples reacted to the high returns and incurred costs due to those returns- I would have done the same thing. There are more products than just this tablet to be concerned about (as I am sure you appreciate).

The grand question still remains: The CEO stated no "layers" over Android, yet the antithesis of such a position was released. Tap UI is hands down, the WORST Android layer published by a company and the hardware simply did not work correctly. Due to hardware specific to each device, some form of interface is needed so everything works... but Tap UI--- DANG!

A first product release by a company in a newer market should set a good example- that is KEY to gaining marketshare in newer markets. Well, that and price point ;) Using the excuse that "another OEM" made the product can be used for about 90% of current consumer electronics. VS can not use the excuse- consumers are indifferent to this.
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
I think VS needs some props too. I mean they messed up releasing a messed up device but in a little less than 3 months they have tried to fix it. How many times have companies that said they'd release an update (albeit a sorry one) on a certain date but fail to do so. Not sure what happened to the flash update but still the effort is there which should at least give them some of their integrity back, right?

Now if they really do release the kernel source this week, I'd say they are ok in my book.
[G Tablet General] teleknEsis:
Yes finally they are taking a step in the right direction and listening to the people but it took staples pulling the rug out from under them for it to happen. Regardless, mad props to ViewSonic for acting quickly and other oems should be playing close attention right now *cousamsunggh*
[G Tablet General] oncouch1:
Well I hope they follow through with their promises. I hate seeing good products falling by the wayside. Once modified I can't keep this thing in my control as wife and kids use over their laptops! Viewsonic owes the developers a nod of thanks.

I just bought a G Tablet today at Sears, thanks to the XDA community (the ONLY reason I chose it). I went to my local Staples first to see if they had one to demo, and of course I was told they were recalled and couldn't sell them even if they hadn't sent them all back yet. So they lost my business to the only Sears (one of about 20) in my area I could find that actually had one in stock.
