[Q] Does Nokia WH-701 Stereo Headset work with samsung galaxy S ?

Hi guys,
Can someone please tell me whether we can use the Nokia WH-701 Stereo Headset for making calls and change music tracks with the Samsung galaxy S I9000?
the default samsung one is of poor quality for listening to music and it doesnt have individual keys to change music tracks. it also doesn't fell good when plugged in. Its plastic doesn't feel smooth.
can you please tell any wired hands-free with music controls that work with samsung galaxy S?
I would love to buy this Nokia set if its works with our phone.

I have the WH-800. Sound and mic work ok, but the buttons dont do anything.

Hi, thanks for the reply. u said the buttons wont work, does it mean the call / end buttons wont work or the music buttons wont work?

not even samsung remote controls from other models work, it must be specified to work with the i9000, or else 90% of the time they just wont work.

i have got hold of the headphones, All the buttons dont work with the samsug default player and the android default player.
we can make calls and listen to music but the buttons are useless. is it really a hardware thing? or some software compatibility issue?
if its a software issue, can we create any music app that works with this buttons? (wishful thinking)

There is PowerAMP, which can use button in stock headset. Maybe it can use this Nokia's? Who can check?

I'm using Dell's BH200 Bluetooth headset. I can answer calls, change music tracks etc via the headset. I get about 8 hours of music or 6 hours of calls on a single charge. You could try Ebay India or any of the others.

Stereo Bluetooth headphones

This is what I got:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006E69AS2/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
Pairs effortlessly, quality not bad. The problem is that the left speaker, the sound quality is awesome, great bass. However on the right one there's some annoying static. So I decided to open it up and this is what I found. The speaker itself is right next to the circuit board fthat contains the Bluetooth module, antena, the volume rockers and the command buttons. Once I take it apart (away) from the board the static disappeares.
Do you guys have any idea on how to isolate or insulate the speaker from the board to avoid the statistics, it's annoying because the right side is crystal clear. I don't think simply putting electric tape will do. Any suggestions greatly appreciated, I really like them especially for the price...

Yeah, but the volume doesn't go up nearly loud enough on any BT headset, and they are not meant for hi fidelity audio such as music, movies, etc. But I do also use my Mono BT headset to listen to music, it is very convenient to only have 1 ear, no cords, nothing going ear to ear.

Nexus 5 wont control volume on BlueTooth Speakers?

Ok so my title states it pretty well. I have a bunch of bluetooth devices I use, JBL Charge, Car Stereo, JayBird headphones, and every other android device I have had you can control the volume from the device. However with Googles new nexus 5, it seems that feature doesnt work? Now I have to use the bluetooth speaker to change the volume. Any ideas on a fix?

Same here, seems to be a bug. Use an equalizer app to lower the volume

Ok, any recommendations?

Works fine on my Sony MDR 10 rbt headset.. So it does not seem to be an overall n5 bt problem

Mine and my wife's n5 have this problem. Default bt audio output is too loud and is distorted. Sometimes the volume can be controlled by the volume buttons, most of the time not.
I have the default eq like this

The problem looks to be app compatibility with 4.4. Pandora doesn't allow any bluetooth volume control, but Slacker which was updated Nov 8th works fine.

I used the volume buttons on my Nexus 4 to turn down the BT audio all the time when I listened to Pandora. It's a system ride function so it shouldn't matter what app is playing audio

This is not a Nexus 5 issue. It is Kit Kat issue on all devices that use the default Google Bluedroid Bluetooth stack, meaning Nexus devices and Google Play versions (other devices running a modified stack may not be affected).
Supposedly, it is an extension to Bluetooth AVRCP 1.3 that enables Bluetooth audio devices to directly control Android's system volume. It seems some genius thought two independent volume levels (headphone volume and handset bluetooth level) was too confusing for folks. Clearly they did not think about (or test) that some Bluetooth audio devices with their own volume controls might default to a very high or low level, and control of only the handset's bluetooth level would not provide sufficient range of adjustment.
So once again we have Goofle googing up bluetooth in Android. Please share your disappointment in the following threads so that we might see a fix ASAP. Guessing they are facing law suits for hearing damage if it is not addressed quickly.

Is it possible to improve the sound quality of the speakers?

Hello, I am quite happy with my Note PRO 12.2 so far. The main problem is the sound quality. Is there a way to improve the quality perhaps through software?
Why Samsung does not move the speakers of their tablets to the front like the ones on the MacBook Pro Retina Display?

I installed ViPER 4Android. Very happy with the results. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

It seems that it requires one to root the device. Is there a solution without rooting?

Have you tried using the equalizer?

Is it a software or hardware?

The thing I hate about most equalizers on Android is that once enabled maximum volume is decreased although the shape of the sound does change. Sometimes I just want more volume. .. for that a custom kernel and dsp manager are needed.

Software. I believe the stock one is MusicFX, and most serious music players have their own. Personally I use N7player.

Firstly, disable Adapt Sound in the application manager. It evens out the volume of all audio.
I've also disabled musicFX.
Some music app equalizers have a pre Amp increaser which boosts or decreases the volume to a level of your choice. Screenshot included.

That's N7 player, by the way. It has one of the more extensive equalisers I've come across. (those are the settings on my Note 3 but that's beside the point).

(HELP) How can I take photo shuttering from a bluetooth handset?

I bought a bluetooth handset to take remote pics but it doesn't work. Is there something able to enable this?

can you connect? have you checked your connection, do you have more options? like when I connect my n4 to my n5 via Bluetooth, I have to enable it to use the Internet, via the connection settings.

i really dont think its possible. i know you can take shots with the volume keys, but via a bluetooth they will work just as they were intended, to adjust volume.
