[Epic 4G Accessories] drunix:
I just tested again with my wife's iPhone 3GS Original headset (has mic, remote, and volume controls). The headset works fine, but the mic, volume, and remote do not work. I did pretty extensive research on it, and found pinouts for both around the web, which my diagram is based on. Perhaps as bighuta says they're supposed to detect but mine doesn't detect properly? Are you *sure* the mic works? Maybe we have different models and bighuta is right about detection, but the particular model of headset my wife's iphone came with (having volume controls) messes with the detection?

They definitely work with regular headsets (no mic) but that's to be expected if you consider that the connector for ground is in the same spot regardless of whether there is a mic or not... the detector would detect if there's a dead short between mic/ground, and if so, assume it doesn't have a mic. I am not aware of them being able to detect a mic/ground swap, however, and have a functioning mic--and my own testing appears to confirm that it does not (or at least can't detect and work with an iPhone 3gs headset).

Assuming I'm correct (which there appears to be some controversy over) then a connector that swaps the ground/mic pins (shaft and ring2) would allow a galaxy s headset to work for an iphone OR an iphone headset to work with a galaxy s (the same connector would work for either task). Unfortunately that item you linked is unclear as to what it does... whether it actually swaps R2 and shaft or if it's just a TRS (3 pin) to TRRS (4 pin) converter (almost entirely unnecessary, and certainly won't solve your issue).

I did find a converter in my searching but it was $15, way more than I'd pay for something so simple. If you do have a headset that doesn't work though, it might be worth doing that or building your own connector... if you're handy with a soldering iron and can find a TRRS male and female plug, that would be trivial to construct.

Sorry I couldn't offer more assistance.

I tried using a simple pair of earphones with mic designed for the iphone and they worked beautifully.

I also tried using regular headphones without a mic and using the default phone mic to talk and guess what? It worked!! Guess they finally fixed it in froyo.
[Epic 4G Accessories] nimitz87:
the klipsch i4's can be found on ebay for decently cheap and they are WELL worth the price I was skeptical as hell but they are a world of difference and I can never go back.

if you use earbuds that much its worth it to get some quality ones.

edit: didn't realize this thread was so old...

[Epic 4G Accessories] yyk981:
I actually really like the headphones made by Palm/HP for the Pre. I got a few OEM pairs off Ebay and the sound is decent and the mic works well. I know there are more expensive options out there but I was happy and they work well on my Epic.
[Epic 4G Accessories] sirzepp:
Interesting. My wife's old Pre (and box) is around somewhere...I should check out those earbuds.
[Epic 4G Accessories] snowmanwithahat:
lol I'm glad you bumped this thread actually.... I'm YET AGAIN looking for a new set. I picked up some from BestBuy in desperation to get something working right away... The connector is dieing already. There's internal separation where the cord meets the 3.5" connector. If I don't hold it in the right position it loses one audio channel.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketf...394087&skuId=9230012&st=rocketfish&cp=1&lp=12

Almost those exact ones except mine are true ear-buds not clip on ones. I'm pretty pissed off about the whole thing, absolute garbage product. Luckily I only burned $15 on them.
[Epic 4G Accessories] nimitz87:
all those cheap ones add up to a nice set ;) If I use something daily I spend a bit extra and get the higher quality stuff up front it only hurts once! lol

If any of you want to buy some Klipsch S4's, now's the time...
[Epic 4G Accessories] BeeDubs:
SOLD OUT :-(

But the S4 does not come with a much it seems. And I'm skeptical of any mic; they all have too much "gain"...any ones that dont amplify sound sources 10 ft away?
[Epic 4G Accessories] jeremiah.rs:
They're on order, you can still order them, I just checked.

As for the S4 not "coming with a much" I'm not sure what you mean.

I use the S4's on a daily basis with teh Epic, and I'm quite happy with them.

Sorry stupid auto correct!

I meant the S4 doesn't come with a mic. I think the S4i does. Am I right?

How is the mic quality?

Does it pick up background noise?

Just saw this on the Klipsch forums:

Apparently only the S2m earphones with mic was designed to work with Android phones.

Everyone take note. Now to read reviews of the mic. It's between these and the Zagg Smartbuds that have the noise canceling mic.

What's a pair of headphones with good sound quality at a reasonable price? (id probably fall out at the $40 mark since my headphones break every few months) oh I prefer the over ear loops since earbuds fall out too much. but they do sound good if you can keep them in -___-.

Samsung OEM headset 3 buttons (volume control) & mic

I just bought and received this OEM headset from amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049Y2PIS/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

They're close to the stock ones but have a volume rocker and a call button (and mic).

However, same question as Heelfan, all 3 buttons only start voice search. I'm looking for a way for it to control call volume and music volume.

Any thoughts? I tried headset button controller. I'm also using voodoo.

You need to edit sec_jack.kl to get the button to work. Or use a non touchwiz rom. (like CM7)

The Motorola Store and AT&T are both list the Lapdock for $399 now. I thought the non-bundled price was supposed to be $599 with a $100 rebate.

Think they heard complaints about the pricing?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] mmeads:
And it looks like AT&T is offering an additional $100 VISA gift card as a mail-in rebate for a grand total of $299.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ronj1986:

ATT Link for the $299 Deal:

http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...298&q_manufacturer=&q_model=#fbid=Svo2NsmSMZW

This is pretty cool. I was against getting the dock when it required 2 years of tethering. $299 is till about $100 too steep in my opinion. But I am almost swayed by the removal of the tethering requirement.*

* I am aware that the FF browser will still require tethering. I have high hopes that we can hack that requirement out of it.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] tonyantonucci:
Att still shows tether required

I just went to the AT&T link you posted and it still says:

Super thin MOTOROLA LAPDOCK™ with webtop app merges ATRIX capabilities with the convenience of a laptop. The webtop app launches automatically when your phone is docked to get all the ease of a sleek laptop computer and the capabilities of your phone in one smart package. Super thin so it travels easily. The 4GB DataPro with Tethering plan is required to use this accessory.

Item SKU: 65242(MOTOROLA LAPDOCK (TM) for MOTOROLA ATRIX (TM)4G)

But, it does show the $299 price after the $100 VISA rebate card.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] mmeads:
Yeah, sorry - i haven't got to my 8 posts yet so I can link to anything.

Correct - I think the laptop dock still checks for a tethering plan. But the way I read the rebate is that it's not conditional on acceptance of a 2yr data contract.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] johnnobts:
Dock is now priced at $350 direct from motorola.com. I paid $399 for it from them yesterday. not happy.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Fixter:
I'm gonna wait a week or two, this is definitely going down to 200.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] sxh389:
I think the dock does not worth the price even if it is 299. It has no real OS environment in there and cannot used to compile code. So I guess I will wait.

[Atrix 4G Accessories] bartsplanet:
I went to my local ATT store yesterday and tried all kinds of permutations with my phone in the display docks. I even fixed their phone and multimedia dock as it wasn't pulling up webtop mode when the phone was inserted :D Here are my results:

Over wireless (ATT in-store access point): both docks will pull up webtop and firefox will have access to internet.

Without wireless (default APN): both docks will pull up webtop but FF does not have access to internet.

Without wireless (modified APN): both docks will pull up webtop, FF access sometimes works, sometimes not. Didn't spend too much time on this.

Since I'm not all that interested in having the laptop dock, I bought the MM dock. I'm also going to never be somewhere without wireless with the MM dock, so I don't care too much about whether it works without wireless.

At first when I got home, I had the same problem as their dock was, where only media mode would show up as an option when the phone was inserted. I re-paired the mouse and re-inserted the power cord in the dock and it was all working. HTH

[HD2 General] saMMuel'sky:
Hi all!

I am new on this forum and I do not know it really good, so I like to ask some questions here (hope someone will not be angry if I missed right thread for this).

1) I think I will buy HTC HD2, so for first what do you think? Is it still good phone or not? I know that Desire HD is probably better, but it is too expensive for my pocket.

2) How is with Windows Mobile 6.5, are they really bad as some people say? Is here enough apps for them etc...

3) Which OS do you guys suggest to me? WM 6.5, WP 7 or Android 2.2?

I just want phone and OS which will work smooth, detect every touch, work with minimize laggs and crashes etc. And for me it is also important that the phone would not be for trash over e.g. 2 years, because of new apps etc. And I want a lot of apps and things like that for it. :D

Hope you will understand my "problems", and sorry for bad English. :o

I would be really gratefull for any help. Thanks alot!

Best regards,

Sam.
[HD2 General] Robson:
ei mate

my thoughts...

1) I think I will buy HTC HD2, so for first what do you think? Is it still good phone or not? I know that Desire HD is probably better, but it is too expensive for my pocket.

-> the hd2 is definitely a beast of a phone as it's the most versatile and "hackable" unit around. you have wm6.5 to start with and from there you can load other operating systems on it like android, w7, etc. the desire is also quite a beast and it's a dedicated android device that's at the top of it's game. if you have budget constraints, you're off to a good start with the hd2

2) How is with Windows Mobile 6.5, are they really bad as some people say? Is here enough apps for them etc...

-> my opinion, wm6.5 was/is NOT bad. i will be honest in saying that i'm running android on my hd2 but i don't see myself jumping to w7. 6.5 is as smooth as it can be and i've made it a point to keep my old windows applications that are compatible with 6.5. yes, android has TONS of apps but there are some small ones which are still best run with 6.5 (for the moment). a lot of members here still run 6.5 and on occasion i revert back to it as well. despite my running android like 90% of the time, 6.5 is still one of the best in my opinion

3) Which OS do you guys suggest to me? WM 6.5, WP 7 or Android 2.2?

-> well, when you get a hd2 you immediately get exposed to 6.5. my suggestion, have a go with it first and get the full experience. once you're satisfied, load android and again have a go. the beauty about android for the hd2 is you can launch it from your microsd card. so if your unit crashes (and that's IF), you can always restart windows and launch android. if you're feeling a bid of adventure, you could load up win7 on it as well. i have read that many members don't like what they've experienced with w7 (in the hd2). in my opinion, the best way is to try w7 on a purely dedicated device (like a htc mozart). if you like it, then try it out for the hd2.

I just want phone and OS which will work smooth, detect every touch, work with minimize laggs and crashes etc. And for me it is also important that the phone would not be for trash over e.g. 2 years, because of new apps etc. And I want a lot of apps and things like that for it

-> let's face it, all operating systems have their own advantages and disadvantages. my wife has an iphone and i like it as well. but i'm into windows and android because it's what i like using....not because i think they're better than the iphone or w7. if you'r after a phone that will last for the next 2 years, then the hd2 should meet your requirements. wm6.5 offers tons of apps that'll enhance your experience. android is a whole new platform that is definitely worth running. and in 2 years? i'm pretty sure that the developers here in the forum would have definitely perfected loading other os's into the hd2 (w7, meego, etc...heck i'll throw in the ios as well)
[HD2 General] Ambush083:
That was a very good reply. I'm currently bidding on an HD2. I have an iPhone 4, but am so bored with it. It's jailbroken to add themes right now.

My friend has an HD2 w/Windows and Android. I think that is way cool. I love to mod stuff so an iPhone for me just doesn't cut it. Although, there are a lot of good developers and applications on Cydia repositories. Anyone know if it's possible to load a mobile version of Backtrack? I see Ubuntu has been done, yes? I'm just wanting some hacking tools for pen testing. A little off topic, but...

EDIT: Anyway you should edit your title to comply with the forum rules. I just read it myself.

Look forward to this proposed HTC Pyramid, also the LG Optimus 2X looks like a cracking phone as well.
[HD2 General] saMMuel'sky:
Robson I do not know how to thank you enough for this reply. :)

Now I know I will buy it definitely. First I will give a try WM 6.5 then Android 2.2 and maybe WP 7 too. Then I will choose.

So on Froyo phone works smooth, like Desire HD? I saw on WP 7 is phone really fast, but it's home screen looks so ugly for me. :D Hope developers will make some ROMs or skins, which will look like Android. :)

Thank you very much again!

Regards.
[HD2 General] Robson:
you're welcome, mate. once you get your unit fiddle around with it in wm6.5 first. don't jump to android just yet. once you're done with 6.5, get into android and i'm pretty sure you'll notice the difference in the interface. a few things to consider for the future:

- radio and rom upgrade (for wm6.5). if you do upgrade, make sure you read the threads first as you don't want to end up with a bricked phone

- android, there are lots of builds you can try and they're quite easy to do. you might notice the massive battery drain when you first try android out. but after fiddling and tweaking you'll get the right settings which will give you the best battery output

- w7, make sure you read the threads as it can be a little tricky

by the way, are you getting a t-mobile or the european version?

cheers
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
1)If you don't have the budget for a desire hd, get a desire then. It's better at android than the HD2. Meaning it will run smoother, faster, and all it's functions work.

Plus if you're horrible at tech stuff, eg READING! xD Then I plead for you to stay away from this phone, another thread made on questions answered a million times is not needed here. Especially this same one you posted here, sorry.

The HD2 is a good phone, but it isn't made for the half hearted. People who aren't ready to be devoted to their device should stay away from the HD2.

2)winmo isn't bad. In terms of functionality/efficiency, you could say it is ahead in some areas, and behind in others to other OSes. Apps is something you can check on your own, they have a marketplace.

3)I'm not you so i wouldn't know. But judging from my impression of you, I would say WP7 would be your best bet, since you seem like the type of person to get overwhelmed over HD2's modding. It's fast, smooth, and it's just like the iOS, simple! Great for you!
[HD2 General] Ambush083:
Basically, he said you are a moron. Anyway so...no just kidding dude I'm the same way, lol. Simple works for me. However, I would like to complicate things sometimes by modding. Jailbreaking is probably elementry school compared to doing Android and Windows mods which is like PhD...

@ Kailkti, Can't he have Windows 7, but still mod other OS's not interfering with his main one. So, basically he can mod break junk and then at least load up a working OS? I guess it depends on the mod, huh?
