Use headphones (with inline mic) as mic? - Nexus 7 General

I have a pair of Meelectronics M6Ps that have the standard inline mic and single button.
These play sound perfectly fine yet I cannot use the mic on them for anything with my Nexus 7 (skype, google now, etc.)
I know the mic works because I've used it on my phone.
The Nexus 7 seems to insist on using it's built in mic instead of the headset's mic, how can I change this?

Bump 10char.

I don't have an answer to your mic question but can you let me know if the button works?

I asked a similar question in the Q&A forum and a guy said his worked fine. I haven't had a chance to try it myself though.

Test a new headphone with mick. if it doesn't work, it's a problem with your jack. But the whole jack isn't out of function it's just the first connector. that means that you can't use tv-out too

Fake headphones will not function properly with Galaxy S.
Mic is available only with the headphones that came in the box.
Other headphones with mic give only sound output, while the mic remains non-functional.

I have skullcandy not the fake ones... and also stock earphones wont work..gives distorting sound but dont know how some without mic one and some mic ones work but not the one i have

As u see, different headphones from different manufacturers have different load resistances. And this load resistance is responsible for the quality of output you get. So, the the stock headphones are best matched to the phones output capacity for best results.
I suggest you try some other I9000s headphones before you go for sound jack replacement.

Well this may sound dumb. But make sure you have really pushed the jack into the port.

I got a a-jays one+ headset and found it was not compatible with Galaxy S . The sound was very low and only when I pressed the remote button (mic button) the audio was clear. Got to know frm the customer care that only handsets that have American Headset jack (AHJ) are compatible . I was suggested to go for a converter to use the headset. Anyways planning for handset upgrade(definitely will go for a handset with AHJ).
Hope it helps....Anyone with links to order AHJ converters are welcome to help the threadstarter.
Thanks

Logitech Wireless Bluetooth Adapter

http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Speaker-Bluetooth-980-000540/dp/B004VM1T5S/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
I just ordered one of these.It has endless possibilities for use with Bluetooth devices like my Nexus 7.
I think you should have mentioned that this is a speaker in the thread name. Just a suggestion.
Long live the One X

It is NOT a speaker, it is a Bluetooth adapter that allows you to connect any powered speakers. Great to wirelessly connected your stereo system to your N7 or other Bluetooth device to play music.
Oh, yeah you are right but still it should have mentioned "speaker adapter".

Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth Headphones NOT Compatible?

Weird, my Nexus 10 can't find the Kinivo BTH220. These are very popular, inexpensive bluetooth cans. From Amazon reviews they are reported to work with Nexus 7. Anyone else have problems? I'm stock for now on the Nexus 10.
Tried to pair my Kinivo BTH220's as well - same issue. Doesn't find them. I'm too much of a noob to offer a solution but wanted you to know you're not alone with this question. Wonder what's going on with the N10, they work perfectly with my phone...

Incompatible bluetooth stack?
Oh No...this is not compatible with Google Nexus 1.
OMG. Is this headphone not compatible with Android devices?
My google nexus one (rooted) is not able to discover the headphone at all.
Is this headphone only working for Apple products and Windows 7?
On the manual, it should work with Android devices though.
I'm hijacking this thread since I searched the forum for bth220, but my kinovo's aren't working on my HTC One X+. Can pair with my car.
Hmm, not sure what's going on, but I have those headphones and they work great on my nexus 10.

I found this from a review on Amazon: ... I contacted Kinivo when I had some difficulty pairing the headphones with my Nexus 10. It turns out the pairing difficulty was my fault (I was making the Nexus 10 bluetooth visible to devices but forgot to also have it search for devices). Kinivo responded almost immediately and walked me through the correct setup. Bottom line, buy the Kinivo product, you won't be disappointed!
Update: I tried again with Nexus 10 and paired ok. I'm not sure what the problem was.

I used it with my GS3 just this morning. Try this. Turn off the headphones. Enable bluetooth on the phone. Hold down the power button on headphones for 10 seconds or so until the lights flash. On the phone scan for new bluetooth devices. It should pair.

How is the sound quality with the s3 ?
I have these headphones and they work fine on my Nexus 10. I also have the newer model the 240 and they also work fine...

It just ok. Cuts out occasionally when not fully charged. I still use with an S3.
These headphones are great. I have 2 sets, one at work and one at home. The company is awesome too. A friend of mine had a pair crap out on him and Kinivo sent him a replacement free of charge and didn't even ask for the old ones back.

Earphones compatibility discussion

Making a list of headphones with remote button working on OB
(the remote button functions 100%, or the sound from the earbuds are as they should)
Some earphones are incompatible, or partially with our phone (remote button not working or sound is really messed up or no sound at all) probably due to the type of connector used on the headphone 3.5 jack (2-pin to 4-pin)
a-JAYS One+ - working
Philips Citiscape Underground - unknown
Philips SHE9005A - working
Samsung Stock Earphones - working
VIBE BlackAir - unknown
Beats Solo HD - working (partially)
Apple Headset - working (partially)
you tell us if yours work fine
So no reply? (
Maybe someone can share if they use a headphone (from sennheiser, philips, any brand) with 1 remote button for answering call/pause/resume music and confirm if their earphones work alright..

Thanks for your answer! Also I was wondering if headphones with more than a remote control actually uses 4-pin, 1 remote button uses 3-pin and no button uses 2-pins...
Do you think it is true?

Well, the sound is an individual thing.Someone likes more bass, someone more clarity, someone a flat sound and so on.But I agree that you cannot trust some other's ears.Especially old people as your dad is and I am.
Samsung Wave stock headset ( EHS48ES0MECINU ) works.
But the big question for me is is there any headset with media buttons that works on the OB ?
lol, i was gonna say beware of high copies

[Q] Apple Earpod issue !

Is it true that the Note 3 makes it incompatible with earphones from Apple?
When I plugged the apple earphones into my notes, I heard no sound at all even though the phone detected a head phone plugged in.
Anyone knows how to solve this? Because the Note 3 doesn't even come with earphones....

I haven't tried the old one, but the new one doesn't work. Can't hear any music. Actually, I can hear "sound", not music.... the sound is way to low and noisy......
