media controller

---

With non stock headphones.. phone calls do not come through the headphone..

I know with real nokia ad-54's plugged inline at least the phone calls work through the headphones (but not the fake ones on ebay.. you have to get real oem ones)..

But i ski with my phone and listen to music through the helmet headphones.. and am looking for a media controller where the buttons actually work to pause, play etc. ... nokias dont work. as do a couple i tried on ebay that are supposed to work with this phone.. Does anyone know one that actually works?

thanks

Moved thread to proper section (Accessories)

lgkahn, you need to stop and read the "STOP!! Before posting read this NOW!!" sticky thread up at the top of each of these sections, there you will find clear guidelines for proper thread placement.

sorry i thought i was posting in the accessories section .. i know it goes there.. guess i screwed up.. you dont have to be so harsh.

I didn't mean to sound harsh with that, just firm, but if it was just a simple mistake as you described, then I apologize. Dealing with hundreds of misplaced threads, where the vast majority are caused by people who just don't bother to figure out the right way to do things, can cause an itchy trigger finger I suppose

aaaaaand we're back!
to answer your question, no the nokia remotes won't work because the pin layout inside the 3.5 jack is not the same between Samsung and Nokia. I've been dying to find a solution for this, it's absolutely necessary for ppl who listen to a lot of music / don't want to get their phone out.

Possible workarounds:
1/ Bluetooth headset OR the Jabra bluetooth dog tag thing (to be honest i don't find it convenient to have to use BT and "accessories" to control the music

2/ Switch media player, apparently double play or mixzing work with the stock earphones by double pressing the talk / play/pause button on the left earbud. I like to have my own IEMs (earphones) and don't plan on using the Samsung ones so it's not an option.

So that leaves us kinda screwed.
You could always take a look at SE's LiveView, but music control doesn't work very well yet with the SGS, hope taht will change
