[Q] Inspire 4g headset/microphone adapter?

---

I have an adapter with microphone that allows any headset to be used for calls and music control, with iPhone. Tried to use it with Inspire 4G and got no sound whatsoever (regular headphones work fine, but of course, no mic or music control then). Pictures of HTC headset with mic show similar 3 ring insert, but something must be slightly different. Has anyone successfully used a microphone headset specifically for Inspire 4G, and/or an adapter that will function with any set of headphones?

I have 1 with an inline mic.

However the sound quality when I plug it in is HORRIBLE compared to just headphones.

Dont know why.

Have tested this with 2 inline mics.

I'm using a Monster iBeats in ear set with my 4G. Sound quality is great for music, very good for phone.

My inline mic will pause music but the volume does not work for music.

For phone calls, I can mute, unmute and answer, but volume control does not work.

This set on my wifes iPhone the volume control works for both music and phone and also allows you to forward itunes tracks.

I just use the volume control on the side of the phone on the Inspire with this headset.

DO you notice a difference when using Mic and headphones as opposed to just headphones?

I am noticing a difference even when using my Shure headphones.

What rom/kernal are u using?

I do not notice any difference in sound quality whether I use the Mic or not.

I'm running Rooted Stock ROM with bloat removed.

There is an app called Headset Button Controller

Just installed it and I can adjust the volume, move forward and back in music tracks and also turn volume up and down with this app installed in media apps.

Interestingly it only uses the center button to do all this on a three button headset.

In phone mode center button ends call. So it does not change anything compared to not running it.

I'll run it and see how I like it, initial impressions are it fixes what doesn't work native with the headset in media mode.

Wow.

Im starting to wonder if there is something wrong with my phone now

I THINK what is happening is that when I connect my mic it switches from Stereo to Mono. Duno tho.

I have purchased this app and will say that it is great. I use the same headset that I use to use with my ipod but now I find it easier to use. I use my phone while riding the motorcycle and I feel like.I have greater control over the music now..only problem I am having is people can't hear me through the Mic on the headset. Any ideas. No it didn't work before I had the software.
