Hello!
I'm entirely new to this forum. But I have a question that somebody might be able to answer for me.
My question is about the Marley Uplift headphones with a three button control.
I'm planning on buying it because i can get them with a nice discount.
But, my question is: will the three buttons work with my Nexus 5?
I don't know if this is the right place to ask, my apologies if I'm in the wrong place!
Maybe there is somebody that has some expercience with the headphones and the nexus 5.
If the buttons don't work, is there a way that I can make them work? (with an app for example?)
Thanks for all the help!

I bought the earphones
A friend of me had the earphones so I could test them with my nexus 5.
Everything works except for the volume control.

The reason volume control doesn't work is because Apple implements headset volume control differently to how Google does in Android. If the volume controls work with an Android device, it'll work with any Android device, but not with an Apple device, and vice versa.
Play/Pause as well as the mic should work fine regardless if it was made for Android/iOS, I think.
Headphone manufacturers sometimes provide an alternative version for each platform, but not always (and sometimes don't even mention which it's compatible with in the first place lol)

Thanks for the information After a lot of searching i found out that Apple has a patent on their own jack standard. So that's why ios earphones don't work with android because android phone makers aren't even allowed to use the standard. Silly Apple again

Not entirely true. My old headset from my GS3 did not work with my nexus 4, because there are two standards used in the Android world - basically Samsung and then everyone else.

I have a couple headsets with volume controls and they worked with all my Android devices, including a Nexus 5 and a Note 3, even an old Samsung device running Gingerbread which I don't recall owning.

I'm on the hunt for compatible bluetooth control pads for the samsung galaxy s. I used to have one for my old i900 and worked a treat (can't recall the name of the pad), but had heard wiimote and other bluetooth controllers will not work with new samsung widget devices and htc sense phones.
Does anyone know one which will work as touch screen gaming is a bit poo
Hoping this is not a re-post
Zeemote works, even on 2.1 firmwares, but you have to buy the GamePro drivers. Here is it in action - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8y5Z_Xc7fI
On 2.2 firmwares bluetooth HID profile support is added for BT keyboards/mice, but sadly WiiMotes are still a no-go.
If your old one is a HID profile device it may well work on 2.2 firmwares.
Cheers, shall look into zeemotes. My old unit was the samsung i900 (windows mobile), and i regret selling with the pad as it looks like was compatible with gamepro. Still zeemotes seem pretty cheap so will definitely try these out.
Okay, remembered the one i had with my samsung omnia i900. It was the MSI BGP-100. This would be more ideal for me to have again as of the extra buttons (three seems a bit short on the zeemote), and originally cost me around £10 including delivery. I've noticed that since the time i had it this pad has become discontinued and i can only find a few sellers but they want £90 for it (seriously WTF! ).
So my second question is does anyone know wnywhere that still has stock of the MSI BPG-100 and selling at a reasonable price and will ship to UK or does anyone know of an equivalent that has more than three buttons?

The little Bluetooth keyboards work as game controllers with Froyo, if the game app can remap keys. I've used one with Gameboid. It's not as good as a dedicated gamepad but you get used to it.
@ DotMpeg - Yes that's the MSI pad. If you can find anywhere that sells them at a semi sensible cost and has stock please let me know. Dealextreme along all other sites i have found that still have them listed do not have stock...
@ TheBeano - Sadly not running froyo yet as the UK network providers have not released their versions quite yet (due anytime now), but when they do i'll certainly be looking into these if i still can't get hold of the old MSI pad. Either that or the temptation to debrand will grow

not used it though
Excellent find and not a bad price I'll see what i can find out about these and report back anything for other users.
Looks like the RC-100 cannot be used as a phone gamepad. Got the below message direct from manufacturer;
"The RC-100 is not a Zeemote. The RC-100 is a remote control that works over the Zigbee wireless protocol (not Bluetooth) designed to work with our line of Bioloid Humanoid Robots.
It was not designed to work with cellular phones and therefore I believe it will not serve your purpose of using it with your phone or pad."
The hunt continues...
Hunt will be over soon with CM 6.1 coming! Then we can just use our Datel Retro Wireless controllers and WiiMotes...
CM 6.1? Sounds promosing, tell me more please
I didn't read the thread properly, sorry for that. I really like the way you can wear it as a watch. It has a real screen in comparison with other bluetooth watches...

Cyanogenmod ROM 6.1, it will have a bluetooth implementation that works with WiiMotes etc.
@ hiraj_panosian - no problem. It looks nice but i can't understand why anyone would be that lazy to pull the phone outta their pocket?
@ NZtechfreak - Should have realised that CM was Cyanogen Mod Do You know if they are actually making this as a stable ROM as at present they have done nothing but experimental ones for the i9000.
Its not yet stable, they've made a lot of progress though.
This might not be specific to this phone, since most Samsung phones don't have the ability to do this by default, but maybe it is.
My first Android phone was a Nexus One. Loved the phone, but after about 2 years, it died on me. I was ok with it too, as I was on AT&T and the data speeds were always SLOOOOOW.
Anyways, I have this phone now, and I do miss using a bluetooth gamepad to play snes roms. I tried using the bluetooth input app from the market (the one made by CCP or whomever) and naturally I get the, "This will not work on most unmodified Samsung phones" error message.
While part of me kinda wanted to buy the Galaxy Nexus, which I knew would work with this without any problem, the phone is just too large for me.
If you've rooted your Blaze and taken out some of the apps, have you ever tried to use a bluetooth gamepad (such as a wiimote, which is esentially what I'm using, since I have a Datel gamepad that is basically a wiimote built in) or the newer method which of course is a Sony PS3 controller, that is paired via a connecting cable?
I'm not sure specifically why most of the branded phones don't work with this, all I know is that supposedly the Sense UI phones don't have the proper bluetooth license in their chip so it never worked, I don't know if that was true though, and if it's also true for Samsung's Touchwiz.
I look forward to the day when there are stock ICS rom's that work with our phone available! Until then, I'll use what I have.
Thanks!
If anyone else is wondering, I rooted the phone a couple days ago, and yes, it does. I have not yet personally used the wiipad setup because I don't have any AA batteries currently, but https://play.google.com/store/search?q=sixaxis+controller&c=apps works very well. It connects with "type 2" which means that it has to disable all other bluetooth devices so you can't use a set of bluetooth headphones to listen to music or talk while you are playing a rom, but oh well.
I found a thread on the OnePlus forums that states there is no mention of aptX support for the One. I know that has something to do with Bluetooth streaming but that's pretty much all I know. Does this mean the OPO may not be able to stream music via Bluetooth in my car? Is it more dependent on my car's hardware? (I've got a 2011 Hyundai Sonata, for the record, and I've tried to google it with no success.) If it can't, even at $350, I'll have to pass. That's a non-negotiable for me. Can someone with more knowledge on the subject please chime in? Thanks.

Aptx is a new codec for Bluetooth audio. Most devices don't even support it right now. As long as as A2DP and AVRCP are supported you should be fine. I don't think cm supports aptx but aptx isn't related to whether or not you can steam music in your car.
Sent from my One using Tapatalk
Yeah. Probably even your sonata sound system doesn't support aptx codec.
A bit more info.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AptX
I would be curious though if the oneplus one supports aptx. I'm thinking probably not.
Sent from my One using Tapatalk
According to the Oneplus Forums it doesn't. However my 3 year old HTC One X does, so APTX definitely isn't that new.
This is going to make me rethink about whether I actually want this phone or not....
Google isn't bringing up any recent information on this topic here, other than a general consensus that the opo *probably* doesn't have aptx. But some mentions that it might be add able? Any ideas on this? Or further information that my Google-fu missed?
I didn't really care before, but I've got a high end Bluetooth speaker coming in the mail, it supports aptx, and so I'm curious thanks all!

My friend has the same exact car as you and my OnePlus One running CM12 nightlies works perfectly fine via bluetooth. This includes streaming music and answering calls for me.

That's pretty cool! Yeah the Bluetooth should work fine for most things, but what's being discussed now is higher quality Bluetooth, a special codec called 'aptx'. Bluetooth should work fine without it, but just standard quality only.
To clarify things Herr.
Aptx is a propyitary codec by CSR. BT devices supporting aptx also work without.
However Theres a major difference in audio lag and quality.
Aptx is way supirrior over regular BT IF your sound device is good enought or you wanna watch movies.
On cheap speakers you probably won't hear much difference. On high end headphones you will never go back to regular BT once you had aptx.
That said only a handful of manufacturer support it. Also cyanogen doesn't.
Its not only software but also hardware.
BTW its not just a codec running over the a2dp its a replacement of a2dp
It has almost not lag so watching movies sint a pia and the lowlatency aptx variant has practically no lag
Aptx was initially for pro. BT devices like wireless mics and monitor phones on a production level (studio, concert ...) and sadly there's no alternative right now even close to its performance

Generally it's implemented in software on the phone (or PC) and hardware in the receiver (headphones, car, etc.) really depends on the processing power available on either end. With that in mind it is technically feasible to deploy support to existing phone, it just needs to be licensed and coded into the platform.
There seems to be aptX working on Oneplus One but you have to use Lineage 14

Hi guys i have a question, i am looking forward to cheap dac/amp build and leaning forwards to fioo q1 mark ii. Am aware it is built for idevices but people managed to get it to work on android devices as well. But they say that andoid devices need isochronous mode activated. I couldn't managed to find any threads or articles about how to check that mode. Any help would be appreciated thanks

I have a fiio e17 old version and i use it alone as usb dac-amp or together with my fiio e12 . I havent tested it with nokia 8 yet but it works with usb audio player pro that i use . Since nokia 8 has not line out mode so you should buy something like that dac with amp (fiioe17k ) i dont know about that mode you tell (isochronous) .before you buy a usb dac-amp make a research if it works with your favorite music player
Edit i tested e17 with nokia 8 all ok(usb audio player pro)
Hi Everyone.
I am curious as to why Dual Audio seen on Samsung Galaxy flagships is not really found on other brands or Samsung's mid-rangers. I have a few portable BT speakers and it would be really nice to combine their sound for a more room filling experience.
Dual Audio was first introduced on the S8 along with Bluetooth 5. It is touted as a BT5 feature, but as Gary from Android Authority explains, the advancements of BT5 is only applicable to BTLE and supported devices. Samsung's Dual Audio works with devices that stream over BT Classic.
I am thinking that a BT5 radio in a source device has the hardware capability to stream audio to two devices over BT Classic. This makes me think that Dual Audio is a software implementation which can be done through the driver or an app. Speaking of which, Tempow developed a BT profile, TAP, which can do Dual Audio. Motorola and TCL has adopted TAP into their phones.
There are suggestions that Samsung has 2 BT radios in their devices to enable Dual audio, but I don't think it's likely, since Tempow seems keen on bringing their TAP to the masses with nothing to suggest a 2 radio requirement.
So now I am really curious about why it isn't implemented on more phones? Or better yet, on custom ROMs?
