V-Moda =

I have to second the V-Moda headphones. I'm currently using them in conjunction with Monster replacement foam tips (medium) and the sound is amazing (albeit the highs are a little muffled but the bass is punchy and responsive). It is a one button setup which bothered me at first, but with a dedicated volume rocker on the device it's really not so much of an issue that I thought it would be. If the Focus only had an equalizer of some sort to bring out the highs, these headphone would be perfect. The mic quality in the headset is beautiful and these 'phones are as durable as all heck (they've been: stuck in a car door for 50 miles, went through the wash, stepped on, trampled, chewed on by a dog, caught on bushes etc.) and have never even began to show signs of wear. If you can live with pocket adjusting the volume, I would recommend getting these.

I should probably mention that I DO NOT work for V-Moda despite how it sounds... I just happen to be a sort of audiophile and while the Focus itself doesn't have the BEST sound quality (I'm coming from a Cowon S9 lol) these heaphones help to bring out its above average playback capability. Another side note is that in response to the OP, the Modas don't only pause/play/answer call/hang up. While listening to music playback you can double tap the button to skip to the next song or triple tap it to skip back.
[Focus Accessories] Diablosblizz:
The iPhone headphones work decently. They don't fully work (microphone / volume up and down), but pause / play / next song/ previous song does work. Before the mango update, I was only able to get the play to work. It seems Microsoft is slowly making the iPhone headphones compatible with the Focus.
[Focus Accessories] danchar4:
Does anybody have a link to a hardware specification for what these in-line buttons actually do for the WP7 phones?

Pretty much all the headphones with in-line controls and a microphone have 4 conductors which are:

- left-audio

- right-audio

- common/ground

- signalling/mic

Here is the spec for IPod Shuffle remote headsets:

pinouts.ru/PortableDevices/iphone_headphone_pinout.shtml

david.carne.ca/shuffle_hax/shuffle_remote.html

So the three buttons operate as follows:

Button 1 - short to ground through 10K resistor (up)

Button 2 - short to ground (answer/hangup/play/pause)

Button 3 - short to ground through 4.7K resistor (down)

But the ipod remote (no mic) has an onboard microcontroller that receives DC power on the mic line as well and is used as a sort of authentication device allowing the Ipod Shuffle to uniquely identify the remote through a challegage response tone scheme. I'm not sure if this is included in the iphone remote cause the circuitry would probably interfere with the mic signal.

Headphones with only one button always short mic/4th conductor to ground so that will always work, but I bet WP7 and Iphone/ipad specs for the resistors for the up/down buttons are different.

I hope WP7 remotes don't have the microcontroller.

I may disassemble my OEM Samsung headphones and try to figure this out. It would be nice to get some Shure or Sennhesier hi-end headphones and plug them into a little adapter that provided to correct buttons. All the hi-end earbuds are iphone/ipad-only.

Presumably I could just cut off the ear-buds on the samsung headphones and solder some of the Shure connectors on there - then just plug in the Shure ear-buds. (all high-end Shure earbuds have replaceable cords :)
[Focus Accessories] EnderPsp:
Just bought a Bluetooth wireless headset with mic, from here.

If you're from UK/ROI they're okay for the price. They do ship across EU and it's a few extra euros.

I like the incorporated mic, and that I can use it as handsfree. Works good on my laptop too, and holds long enough (listened to music for about 10h, still holding)

Ah, and I'm not affiliated with them, just bragging :D
[Focus Accessories] Ruocaled:
So basically what I got after went through 3 pages' discussion is that :

There is NO wired headset product on market fully works with WP7.

is that correct? Another great reason to buy windows phone :(
[Focus Accessories] EnderPsp:
Without being rude, I want to point two things to you:

- You missed several posts (ie on page 2)

- You don't know how to search. If you would, a decent search would have you landed on at least WPCentral, Amazon or eBay

There are always solutions, however it's easier to complain than be creative. Ah, and all these are just for Focus, you can imagine there are others for other models as well.
[Focus Accessories] KGI333:
OEM

If anyone is still looking this headset is the exact one my Focus came with. It has Answer/End/Pause/Play button with volume control.

I also used the same but I am not able to reduce the volume, but works fine for the calls and the audio quality is good.
[Focus Accessories] kkrull:
I like your style. Let us know how this goes. It seems like an obvious market for a 4 inch patch cord that converts one to another.

My dell streak's ear phone is working with focus including mic, call/answer/play/pause button. But the earphone doesn't have volume control buttons.
[Focus Accessories] Nileshdd:
Check the meelec adapter to switch the pins. Samsung/Nokia have them different from Apple/Htc. The adapter allows you to use all Apple compatible headsets. I have etymotic hf2 working fine on my Samsung i9000. Android I know, but worth a try on wp7?

[Focus Accessories] asdfvtn:
Was actually looking at the Klipsch S5i.. but then I'm afraid they still don't work with WP7, even though they said they were working on it about a year ago.

Because of convenience and <$100 price range, I've narrowed it down to the V-Moda Remix Remote and the Marshall Minor FX from this thread. Can anybody reconfirm they do indeed work, and if anybody could recommend one over another?

Or.. another pair that you really recommend. I'd like a decent quality sounding one since I miss my old Turbines but I don't want to spend over $100 any more.

Also, I don't like Skull Candy. Had too many dead one side earbuds with them.

Oh, and does anybody know if the Sennheiser CX 680i is compatible?

Thanks!
[Focus Accessories] f4te:
I just got a pair of Klipsch Image One cans and- while they sound amazing- the only 'phone' feature of them that works on my Focus is the Play/Pause button. Considering getting the Meelec converter someone else mentioned (google meelec adapter, it's the top link). On their page the 917 is listed... =/

Anyone buy that adapter and have any luck?
[Focus Accessories] grimchicken402:
I'm in the same boat as you. I bought Etymotic HF3 headphones because they were marked down to $60 from $180 and figured even if the buttons didn't work I'd get a deal. Well the play/pause button works but the microphone does not. (I don't really care about the volume buttons, pretty sure there's no way to get those to work.)

Could it be as simple as the ground and mic contacts being reversed? If that were the case the button would still work (because shorting to ground wouldn't depend on them being reversed right?) but the mic wouldn't.

It would be great if it was that simple, but it probably isn't.
[Focus Accessories] Nileshdd:
Etymotic Hf2

Just wanted to report that my Etymotic HF2s work excellently on my Samsung Focus 1.3 WITHOUT any adapter

1) Single click - Pause/Resume Music

2) Double click - Next Song

3) Single click - Answer call/Disconnect Call.

4) Music resumes after the call.

On other hand, if somebody wants an adapter

1) The meelec adapter is very bad quality. I got 2 of them and both didn't last more than 2 months.

2) I have found 2 other adapters - FIIO LU1/LU2 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/834115-REG/Fiio_LU1_LU1_Smart_Adapter_Cable.html that are definitely better quality and around the same price.

Do Bacon Bits 2.6.32.21 & Stock 2.6.32.17 Kernels support loop devices? I was informed that the Stock kernel did support loop devices and I have asked this questions on [MOD][SOLVED] Ubuntu install on G2 (which nothing is solved on) and [MISC] Vision BaconBits 0.3 threads but no one will answer me.

Ok, I was able to find out that both of these kernels DO support loop devices!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
use key combo to the recovery mode, or download mode. flash kernel in cwm.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knyghtryda:
Well, I can get to download mode, but that means I'll have to flash through Odin right? How do I just flash a kernel through odin? It would be best if I can somehow kick directly to CWM to just install via zip, but I don't know of thats possible.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixstringsg:
Sometimes Kernel flasher does wonky things, hold the volume buttons when you turn your phone on and it will boot into CWM, then try reflashing the Kernel from there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knyghtryda:
No go with the volume buttons. I've got a 1008 phone so I think those are just busted. When I first flashed I got to download mode via the volume buttons + USB + Odin method.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
since you are still able to get into download mode, you can simply flash back to stock and give a try for another kernel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knyghtryda:
Has anyone tried flashing just the zimage using Heimdall? Looks like I should be able to flash just the kernel zimage and not have to wipe everything.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knyghtryda:
An FYI for anyone interested... You can use Heimdall to restore JUST the kernel with a zImage without touching anything else. If you ever brick by flashing a kernel then this is a way to recover without doing a flash to stock.

First I wanted to give props to lowkee for his thread:

[EB01 WALKTHROUGHS] Rooting, Clockwork, Voodoo, Stock and Custom ROM, Battery, etc

Awesome walk through for newbies, but a question to the developers on possibly developing a non-Voodoo kernal for EB01. I liked how on previous versions of the Fascinate ROMS there was that option, if you're weren't great at backing out of Voodoo. Plus it can add to the walk through as another option.

If it already exists than I apologize for not doing enough research in the forums.
[Fascinate General] uslacson1:
Non Voodoo kernel is included in the stock and superclean rom.

This is the boot animation taken directly from the Nexus S, I installed root explorer and sent the animation to my phone. No resizing was needed as it looks awesome without it, plus I tried to resize it and it looked funny. I think it looks cool so I thought I'd post it for others to enjoy. There are two versions:

Version 1:

1. Download and move to the system/media partition and overwrite your existing bootanimation.zip

Version 2:

1. This is a flashable zip using edify script so it will work in clockwork 3.0+

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] user7618:
Sure, if you have another boot animation. Use a file manager to go to system/media, make a copy of the boot animation there and move it someplace else. Then just move the new one into system/media. It will ask if you want to over write, say yes, and reboot. Then, to go back, just move the copy you made back to system/media. Cake and pie. :)

If you have problems, gimmie a shout, and I can walk you through it.

You can probably manually give Astro root permissions, but it does not ask for them by itself. Instead, it just states 'insufficient permissions'.

[Defy Themes and Apps] Step666:
I've been using Super Manager.

The free version gives you root explorer capabilities, including R/W.

Some features are locked down unless you pay, such as the ability to directly open/edit files in the root explorer function but a quick'n'dirty workaround is to copy the file in question to the SD card, edit it to your hearts content and paste it back over the original.
[Defy Themes and Apps] voyteck.reg:
Same as above - super manager seems ok
