Hey guys, bought the Dr. Dre Solo HD headphones a while back, absolutely loved them since. I've used them on my iPhone 4 for a while now and they work properly and as they should. With the buttons allowing the volume to go up and down, to pause/play music, answering phone calls etc.
Do they work on the HTC Desire HD? I'm getting a new phone soon and this seems to be one of my options? I'm pretty sure you've heard this question before, but I've been trying to Google the question and have found nothing!
Some help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks in advance!

I would try it, but then if it doesn't work I'm stuck with the Desire HD for 18/24 months on contract, with my headphones not working. It's a relatively key factor for me getting the phone or not really!
Go to a phone shop and try them out on a device. If one of the workers has a desire HD, cant see them saying no to you trying out your headphones. Or make friends with someone who has a desire HD
I know I could go to a store and ask but it's far easier asking somebody on here! Surely there's somebody who's tested it lol
Hi,
I've already try the Desire HD but it seems that it doesn't work for the volume.....but I'm not sure because I just try it for 2 minutes because I wanted to compare with my Studio ( btw it works great for switch song or phone call )
I took 5 minutes and in a french forum, i found that you can only switch the song ( by double press ), pause/play and answering phone calls.. so you can't up and down the volume or choose previous song....
EDIT : tested on HTC desire so I think it's the same thing..
Seems good enough for me. Everything works aside from the volume usage? That's more than fine.
Thank you very much for letting me know!

Hello!
I usually use my HTC diamond as a mp3 player and I'm using the original headphones which came with the phone. But, sometimes, I put my diamond plugged in with the phones inside my jeans pocket and due to the key it has on the headphones, it makes the phone call the last number i've dialed. Is it possible to disable that key?
thanks!
My problem too
that's exactly my problem. for the love of god, help us!

why you don't try SRS WOW HD 121.A2DP or HTC Equalizer 1.0.2 for quality sound in your headphones for the better....
For anyone with a Senation already.
If anyone could be bothered...
Just wondering if a Headphone Controller app will work with the Sensation..??
I really want to get the iPhone version of the Sennheiser Headphones (PMX 680i Sports) which has the 4 ring controller along with Vol/Next Trk/etc and was wondering if this app works on the Sensation to allow that type of control.
(I think the HTC supplied phones have controls, but want better sound)
(http://www.appbrain.com/app/headset-button-controllertrial/com.kober.headset)
Really would like to know before diving in to the device. It would be great know if anyone has the knowledge or wants to try it out....
Cheers to all.
unfortuantly i do not have a wired headset with any button controls to test foe you. But i do use a couple of bluetooth headsets and the AVRCP is fully supported.
Not exactly what your after but may be of some interest to you
I have old Koss wired phones w/ controler i used with ipod and it doesnt work ... as for sennheiser, the bundled hs which came with my previous phone the HTC HD mini was from sennheiser so maybe even that one comming with sensation is

As of this moment, I can only confirm that the Play/Pause button on headphones designed for iPhone works normally on the Sensation without having to use Christoph Kober's Headset Button Controller app (which is really, really awesome in case anyone is wondering).
This is in contrast to, for example, the Nexus S I had before which would not properly recognize any button inputs at all. I had to use the controller app to get music working on that phone.
I'll reinstall the Headset Button Controller app and test it out with my girlfriend's iPhone earbuds tonight, and I'll get back to you once I confirm whether or not it reads the Volume Up and/or Volume Down buttons. I have the sneaking feeling that it won't, but hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised :]
Thx sosquidtaste
I really appreciate your effort.
There are a ton of really good headphones out there sold as iPhone capable with controllers that woud be great to be able to use them (working) on the Sensation. I can understand why they are marketed to the iphone folks, but it seems they miss a big chunk of the market by not working with other devices..
(I like the Sennheisers because they go around the back of your neck as one unit - not a big fan of bud style)
So, here's hoping!
Cheers

Sorry mate-- I just checked in the app's debug mode and confirmed that the Sensation still doesn't recognize anything but the center button on earbuds designed for iPhones. It was worth a shot!

Bugger...!
Appreciate the effort. I wonder why this is such an 'out there' thing? To me at least, it would seem logical for the OS to support something so, well, basic as headphone control. Wonder why there has been no 'universal format' for this type of thing.
....sigh.

Glad to help-- I was pretty curious about this too, given just how well the center button behaved even without the headset controller app. I just wish it turned up more encouraging results.
Competing platforms are great for the most part, except when small but important features get shot up in the crossfire ;(

Just curious, can this be changed when this bugger gets Rooted or S-Off or whatever the heck is done with the locks come off this thing..?

As I understand it, the control issue is related to specific hardware configurations in the headphone port of our phones so not even the most righteous of hacks will enable them to read input that they aren't wired to receive ;(
I'm no engineer though, so I'd be happy to be contradicted by someone in the know

Interesting...
So why I wonder, does the HTC specific Headphones work?
Do they use a different set of rules/hardware/ whatever...?
Curious.

Hey everybody,
this is my first thread so if I am doing anything wrong, even if it's just spelling , please tell me, so I can do it better next time.
And now let's get to that story.
Apperently some guy in china has found a new and hidden feature Sense 4, or at least in the ONE serious. What it is, is that you can take a picture in the photo app by pushing a buttom on your bluetooth headset. Just like a remote camera shutter. It seems to be working with a varriety of different headsets and with a varriety of buttom combinations.
Now I was wondering if by any chance, accidental or not, this feature might already be working on all the nice Sense 4 roms we already have. I know that bluetooth isn't working properly so far, but just maybe it already works.
Anyway, I am calling out to whoever has a bluetooth headset and Sense 4 to try it out
If it works please, please report!
Here is the youtube video of the guy doing it:

And here is the reference article on androidcentral

Edit: For some reason I can't get the youtube video to work, so here is the direct link
http://youtu.be/FcOv2F3JjGk
Oh and somebody might wonna inform the sense 4 devs like shinzlon about this
Btw. I tried it with a jawbone Jambox and that did not work. Apart from that I only have another motorola headset, which apparently do not work at all.
Again Motorola headsets do not seem work
... but If you have one just try it, you never know what might happen
Awesome

This is some good news mate!
I have an old nokia bluetooth headset. Will try when I find it and get back with the results.
It works for me. Nokia BT hands free BH-200 On Elegancia 2.2.0 .
It takes pictures by double klicking the key on hands free.
Edit: log-press also works.

Ok, it seemed a bit unreal to me but it did in fact work. I used a Sony DR-BT10CX headset with my Sensation (Ordroid 9.0 rom Sense 4). Long press on the call/hang up key while the camera app is open and it made a picture.
Good find.

It's like a remote shutter release key. Fix the camera and take pictures of yourself.

What's not to like, it makes the timer obsolete, you just hold the Bluetooth device in your hand and click to take a picture with a group or something

Hi
I just wondering about buying htc one s.
But i have two questions :
- does it work with copilot ( Offline Gps ) ?
And if you wanna answer to this question too :
- would you have prefer wait and buy the x one ?
Thank you so much
=> on their website, they say it is, but i'm looking for someone who already did it (you can test free version of copilot as well, but shutdown data and wifi)
I don't see why CoPilot shouldn't work. I have it on my N1 and tablet.
I'll install it on the One S tonight and post back.
I asked it, because at beginning i saw sony xperia s , but it doesn't appear on copilot website http://copilotlive.com/uk/personal/android.asp, clique on "Is your phone/tablet compatible?" on the right.
So the xperia s isn't listed, so i look about the htc one s (which is in the list)
maybe i'm too hurried, but what was the result ?
I just bought it.
I'll have it on wednesday, i'll tell you.
I hope i'll not be disapointed, by this phone with/without this app.

Yes. I have Co-pilot and it works fine.
Sorry I didn't get back to this thread.
Yes it work as posted already by ascot17 already.
works fine but is totally useless on the one s as the speaker volume is so low its unusable in a car. Or at least in mine and my friends instance.

Agreed that the speaker volume is not great. I find it better using Co-pilot however than Google Navigation which is even quieter!
I can't work it out as my cheap 50 pound android phone is louder

Hi
Thank you all for your responses.
The sound doesn't matter for me, because i always mute it (i just take a look sometimes to see my way ; exept when I use the speed alert).
Sad to see that this phone already has a bad point.
Hello!
I own an HTC Desire S and a headset made for iPhones. My queston is: Is there any solution to get the headset fully functional? (I mean the mic, the volume control buttons etc...) I know, that they have different "jack pinouts" or whatever it's called. That's the reason why I was looking for some kind of converter/adapter cable wich would make it work, but there isn't any succes yet...
Thanks for any reply!
Try installing headet droid
