SBS Stereo Headset

Hi,
I just bought a headset compatible with Acer S200 but it does not work properly.
The volume is low and when I press the button to end the call, the volume increases.
When I use the microphone, the person on the other side cannot hear.
What can be the problem?
The only thing that comes to mind (but it may not be useful info) is that I had installed and removed SRS WOW HD.
Thanks for your help

I had the same behaviour, but with an HTC Blackstone headset that I tried on my S200, low and blurred sound that gets better when you press on the button.
I assume S200 headsets have a different wiring and the one you got is not the good one.

That's strange...
but why would it work properly with the original headset, but not with compatible ones???

[Q] Does Omnia 7 work with Headsets for iPhone

Hallo,
I found the Bowers and Wilkinson P5 headset for iPhone today, which comes with an inline remote control for the iPhone, iPod and iPad. Since I really liked the quality of sound and materials I am now wondering if the headset's remote would work with the Omnia 7. In the shop where I was listening with this headset, they only had the cable without remote (they are exchangable). So I could not test.
So, my questions would be:
In general do iPhone headsets (especially their remote control) work with the omnia 7?
Can I control volume, take calls, skip to the next track by pressing play 2x, skip back to the last song by pressing play 3x, pause/unpause or can I just control parts of this, if yes which?
Has anybody tried the mentioned headset on an omnia 7 or a comparable phone?
Thank you,
Christian

Hello,
I try it in decembr (when i buy my omnia7) and NOT work the remote control.
I remember that one fuction work but not remember wich :-(
I try it this nigh again and i will tell you.
I read few weaks ago that all the windows phone 7 headset are compatible and some brands will release headset for wp7.

You can take calls, skip to the next track by pressing play 2x, skip back to the last song by pressing play 3x, pause / unpause. (Only the center Button is working)
You can NOT control volume.
And the microphone isn't working.

I'm using a iPhone headset but it doesn't have buttons only microphone. The microphone on this works with my omnia 7.

i have Altec Lansing BackBeat 903 and they are working perfectly.
i think that any a2dp device should work!

great info.
I`m loking to buy this beats and your opinion was very important!

If you do still end up getting them (they are seriously good except for the lack of mic functionality with my Omnia 7) don't judge them based on how they sound through an Omnia 7 - they still sound amazing, but for some reason its crapper through the phone than a 6 year old iPod :/

BOSE MIE2i has 3 buttons, VUP, VDOWN, START/PAUSE.
Only START/PAUSE button works, and others not.

i still have sitecom cn-530 headphones bought when I had the htc S710, and they works perfectly, play pause, vol up vol down, skip track..

Beats by Dr Dre don't work either Headphones work fine along with centre button but volume buttons and mic don't work

App to give headphones 3 button fuctions?

I'm a HTC Arrive/7 Pro and I love Windows phone but the only problem I have is lack of headphones support.Meaning unless you have the original ones that came with the phone you wont be able to skip tracks/control voume(Only button that seems to work for me when I try different headphones is the Pause button).But recently I seen this:

Klipsch made a headphone with 1 button that you can configure to the diffrent things(1 click pause/answer,2 clicks skip music etc...) so I was wondering would it be possible for someone to make a app like this for Windows Phone 7?

That would be wonderful & popular app for Windows Phone.

Same I have the solo HD and the controls work perfectly on my iPod touch 4th gen and my sister iPhone 4s but only the pause button works for me...not even the mic works

My motorola headphones work perfectly (they have volume up/down and play/pause), would be nice if you could change what they do though.

Have you tried to double-press the pause button to skip forward, and triple-press the pause button to skip backwards? Also, press and hold to initiate voice commands.
I've found this works with virtually all headsets. The only things that typically do not work are digital volume controls.

Appears to be a HTC thing... multi press works fine on the samsung and LG's...
Sucks for us HTC owners...
Best bet is to get a bluetooth adapter.. Sony erricsons MW600 is a good one... can use any headphones, volume control, skip tracks, voice cmds and it has a little screen that tells you what track is playing or who's calling....

Earphones plug on htc one xl

Quesition. Does the earphone works with iphone earphones? I got a xperia s and earphones that work with iphones doesnt work on the xperia s. So will switch to one x if earphones work. I have the b&w c5.

I don't have any Apple brand iphone headphones, but I've got a pair of Denons that are designed for iPhone/iPad/iPods. The volume keys do nothing, but the play/pause button works as expected. (Although I had to disable Cybertron Voice Commander, as it was owning the headset controls.)
Once we've got root (or maybe I'll just use my DHD), and I get some spare time, I'm going to see if I can set up a custom mapping so that the volume buttons either function as volume buttons, or like the skip/search buttons on HTC headphones.
My roommate has iPhone headphones, I'll see if he'll let me try them out on the OneX.

I would <3 you forever for something like this. I have a pair of klipsch headphones with the apple volume control that I love, would be awesome to get more functionality out of it.
The weird thing is that my Nexus One came with a headset that has 3 buttons (play/pause, back, skip), but 3 button apple headsets don't work.

This is because the buttons on iPhone headphones are mapped differently than Android headphones. Think of the headphone buttons as a small keyboard. When the play/pause button is pressed, it sends a key signal to the OS. For argument's sake, let's say it sends the letter "A." Both iOS and Android recognize this as the play/pause function, and will work no matter which brand of headphones you use. For Apple's volume up/down, it uses "B" and "C" and the Android skip/search buttons are "D" and "E." Android doesn't expect "B" or "C," so it does nothing when those keys are pressed. If I can find in configs (I pray to god I don't have to compile ICS from source to implement such a small change) then I can hopefully tell Android to respond to "B" and "C." That's oversimplified, but gives you an idea of what I'm going to attempt.
I'm kinda surprised this hasn't been done before, which is maybe a testament to the fact that it's gonna be harder than I hope. If it turns out to be the best-case scenario (just need to alter some config files in the running Android system,) then maybe I'll find time to make an app for customizing headphone buttons.

Depends how it is implemented. I did some work on the HTC HD2 to get headphones working in ICS and I stumbled upon the code for headphone controls. It was basically a message coming in from the I2C bus to the Linux kernel driver responsible for audio. It then sent the proper messages up to the DVM to tell Android which button was pressed.
You will probably need to modify the kernel driver if the headphone use a different message type.
If you want to just remap what the buttons do (i.e they are just mapped incorrectly), then you can use something like:

[Q] Make 3 button earphones work

Is there any way like new ROM/patch/application to make 3 button android earphones to work on our device?
Actually i have earphones from galaxy note but they are not working on our device and only center button (call end button) is recognized.
Need any solution that can make all 3 buttons on the earphone work on our device.

Hi ! There is Songbird that works with the remote buttons (Call/end button) to control music but I was not able to try it with other earphones. Give it a try .

Songbird does not work
Thanks for reply but Songbird only responds to call end button while other 2 buttons are still non-responsive. I have even tried headset button controller from the market and it is also not recognizing volume buttons on the earphones.
