I have the following question - the headsets of all modern phones, especially
the smartphones have a standard 3.5mm jack, so you could use any 3.5mm
headphones in order to hear something. But what about remote control buttons?
Will for example the buttons on a SonyEricsson headset, connected to an
HTC phone work?
I think, if it is implemented on a firmware level, it won't work, but if intercepting
the button signals is implemented in the player(s) itself, then perhaps even the
remote control buttons should work on other phones, if supported by the
player.
And what about normal headphones ? Are they usable for phone calls ?
Can you just listen to the other party through the headphones and your
voice would be transmitted by the standard microphone of the phone ?

From my experience, microphone + headphones work from every device if they have a 3.5mm jack.
Control buttons usually don't work from a device to another, because their signals are hardware specific.
Normal headphones are usable off course only to hear stuff from your phone.
In call, your built-in microphone will be used.
If I am wrong, someone please correct me.
Thanks, you helped me a lot

Does anyone know anything more on this new remote?
http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=145154

The description seems to be very clear. It's just a wired remote control when using 3rd party headsets.
Description as stated in HTC's website.
A wired remote control for music and voice calls.
This compact in size and lightweight remote control includes functionality to manage both audio (Volume, Play/Pause/Forward/Backward) and calls (SEND/END, Mute with LED indicator, Hold switch, Microphone, Call waiting, and Voice dial).
The remote also includes a 3.5mm stereo headset jack (headet not included) and an FM antenna for devices with an integrated FM radio).
Hi, thanks!
Actually I was thinking more about if some knew about a release date or have tested one at some conference etc..
Best Regards

hi,
does it possible to talk directly on phone, not on
bluetooth headset? I don't want to use bt headset.
thx
Yes- it is possible, but when there is no headset (either the supplied wired headset, or your own BT one) it uses the main speakers, so calls are not exactly private

yes, I was afraid of this
The 'Advantage' platform was never designed to be an 'up to the ear' mobile phone.
If you plan to use it as a normal phone, then a Touch HD may be a better option. The supplied wired headset in the X7510 does the job well enough for casual use.
I think, bluetooth headset - the best solution for use Athena like a phone.
Use Htc Advantage without bluetooth or headset
Hi there ,
It's possible to use the htc advantage without bluetooth or a headset , just like a normal phone , but it wont be private if you are close to people near you because it is a speaker phone . However you still can use it by adjusting the pda and phone volume to the second lowest bar ( when you tap on the speaker icon on top of the screen ) , at the same time when the call is on , you also adjust it to the second lowest bar , that way your pda will still be speaker phone but at the lowest noise output , so you have to put your ear near the top speaker to hear properly and put your mouth about 3 inches away from the mic at the bottom and probably speak a bit louder . It works fine for me , but it is an idividual preference thing since you cant change the fact that it is a speaker phone .
Thanks for reading - jimmunsw
Is there any possibility to use bluetooth clips (Motorola S605, SE MW600, Nokia AD-57 etc.) as mic for answering calls and controlling player (play, pause, next, previous) and using wired headphones connected DIRECTLY to mobile phone in order to use high quality 3.5mm headphones instead of listening through them over bluetooth and having this ****ty sound? Thanks in advance.
Yes, for bluetooth for sure.
Well just to be sure - I connect wired headphones to SGS directly (not to the bluetooth clip 3.5mm hole), pair the bluetooth clip with SGS, start player and listen to music through headphones and have ability to start-stop player by bluetooth clip buttons. When the call comes I hear it in headphones and start-stop player or push call answer button on bluetooth clip. After pushing answer button I hear calling person's voice in headphones but talk to the bluetooth mic. After call is ended I can start-stop playing music again by bluetooth buttons. This is 100% tested or it's is appeared to be working? Thanks.
Could anyone confirm my last post? Thanks.
Bump any answer?
Just tried, no go sorry.
If you could find an AVRCP profile device without A2DP or mono-bluetooth output it might work, but I don't expect any exist.
Are there any good in-ear headphones with working previous/next buttons to control next/previous track and volume in any music player?
Hi well I've been using the Altec Lansing BackBeat 903 Bluetooth Headset for about 3 months now and that has all the features your looking for plus they sound damn good as well.
I use the stock headphones with winamp, and double tap the pause button and it skips to the next track
But for a real solution with back.. you could get one of the little reciever thingies with a 3.5 jack, so you get wireless + controls + any headphone you like ^_^. But there could be some quality loss if its cheap..
Motorola's s9-HD also have theses foncions enabled.
Thanks for the replies. Those two seem to be ear-hugging types, are there any with regular design?
the best would be to use the Nokia remotes that came with the n95 and others. But apparently it doesn't work since the layout inside the jack are not the same between Samsung and Nokia... too bad
I have a question about this topic, I tried to use the apple in-ear headphones with the mic and the volume buttons on my SGS but when i fully plug it into the jack, theres no sound.... but if i leave it out abit then it works fine.... Do u guys know what is going on?
Any Bluetooth headset supporting A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile : For Stereo audio) and AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) should work. There are plenty of BT headsets out there. Search for A2DP Bluetooth headsets (if they have media player controls then the chances are they support AVRCP too).
I use a Bluetooth clip, it gives a certain amount of wireless freedom and the ability to use any 3.5mm headphone. If you already have a good pair of headphones you like then a BT clip is perhaps the best way to go.
Here is what I use (Motorola S605):
With a display (SonyEricsson WM600 ):
Both of them have a built in Stereo FM radio as well, if you listen to radio that could come in handy (since the radio on SGS is mono ).
EDIT: One last thing, Audio quality over Bluetooth is slightly lower compared to a wired connection. This is due to the compression codec used in Bluetooth transmission. However, the difference depends entirely on your expectation of sound quality and the quality of your audio files. For example if you are an average user who is happy with a pair of $25 head/earphones listening to MP3s encoded at 128kbps then you won't notice a difference. But if you are an audiophile having $100+ headphones listening to 256kbps+ encoded MP3s then you’ll definitely notice a difference.

I don't think it works like that, but I have to check to confirm.

When you are not using BT audio, I doubt the player will respond to BT player controls.

I dont think you can split the mic and headset function like that, either you use the BT for both mic and headphone or not at all. (unless someone modifies the driver). But again, something I have to check to confirm.
For basic call and volume controls something like this might work.
Here is another alternative, but no mic (not released yet either).

Very helpful, purchasing from ebay as we speak, im sick of not being able to switch song whilst cycling...
Just a question really, do you just use the standard samsung music player?

I like these, thanks.
How does this things work? Do you plug anything to the usb port or do you just enable blutooth and play? Also can you use previous/next buttons while the screen is locked? Can you do these with the default player or do you need anything like WidgetLocker and add the player to the lock screen?
Also are there any wired versions of these?
Hi there!
Has anyone experienced any headphones compatibility issues? I have dropped the idea of using stock headphones as I find them way behind any different pair that I own. The problems start when I plug the jack into my P8 and put it inside a pocket. It seems that when the jack moves just slightly around the socket, the phone goes crazy changing the volume, randomly stopping the playback or launching some kind of speech assistant. It happens so frequently, that I am not able to listen to a single song on the device.
I am using a pair of Cresyn C520S headphones with a single button and a mic built in the set - they have the exact same size and type of jack as my stock P8 ones.
There was no problem when I plugged a regular, no mic, no remote control, Sennheiser headphones.
As for the software, I am on branded Polish B200 OS and am using the full version of Poweramp (god! this is such a great player!) and a streaming service app Tidal with the premium pack allowing me to listen to music offline from my devices.
Please tell me this is not an issue with my new device, but rather a hardware compatilibity issue. If so, then which headphones could I buy to make it all comfy? Do I need to look for the ones that are made for iPhone (I know they do have a three button remote attached)?
