Hi, i've bought the retro phone style to use with my phone. And I got a problem, whenever i try to plug it in, my sgn2 it recognizes it as headphones, and when i try to call with it i only get the speaker sound, but the microphone is dead, does anyone know what to do?
Links would help people understand what you're talking about.

Yeah, need a link for an exact thing. I assume its a connection through headphone jack, just like any headphones with built in mic/remote. In theory it should be the same thing just a fancy replacement of headphone with some analog style retro phone?!? I would suggest to check your 3.5mm connector. Typically those will be partitioned into headphone/mic/control sections. The section for speaker on that connector is working ok, while the one for mic is not. Probably ask for a replacement? Also, if you have stock headphones or any other headphones with mic to pickup calls, test it out with your phone to make sure its not your phone connector problem.

I have one ( a different brand in black) that is pretty well made. It was cheap and its fun.
Nobody needs a music player shaped like a Victrola, or like an old vacuum tube radio, or shaped like a Wurlitzer Juke Box. None the less all of those sell.

I have never used those on a device and don't see myself using them in the future. I suppose if you work in a dusty and dirty environment they may come in handy. But I myself have no need for them.
I can see how those can be useful. When I had my iphone, the port and headphone jack were full of lint from being inside the pocket.
I won't buy them though only because it would be a nuisance to have to remove them every time to charge the device or to listen to music with headphones. Those little plugs would get lost really quickly.

Exactly! I sometimes look at my phones and see all the tiny little dirt particles in my audio jack and wonder if it's bad for the port? lol It would be awesome to be able to protect the charging and audio ports from dust etc, but there has to be a more pleasant way of doing so without having to keep up with tiny little rubber pieces.

I definitely want to check these out for my devices. (I'm assuming that they made them for other devices, too.) I've damaged two phones in the past because the usb port leads got wet in the rain, near a leak, or whatever. Damn...make that three phones.
I would welcome those to protect my device. Specially the headphone jack when you are using the phone when its raining.
I had really nothing to do in summer and all I did was eat chips and act if I was like a walrus. But deciding I didn't want to be the lazy person I am u decided to start a project. I had a few computer speakers laying around that sounded better than the note 2. So what I did was I went to home depot and bought some wood measured speaker sizes after ripping everything and putting everything back together so that I only needed a a case. So with my wood I just chopped a bit here and there made a box made a handle and after using a zigsaw to cut the headphone holes this is what I have. It was stained and painted too. It's actually nothing really cool but it worth ur time in my opinion. Oh and u also made a mouth for this so I can fit my note 2. Also you can add a blue tooth receiver which soon I will do

I remember making things like this in tech class in high school. I made a small amplifier to increase sound levels for my headphones. Everyone always asked how I got my headphones so loud..haha.. those were the days.
This would be a nice project with burlwood, internal 20 Watt amp and polished dark stained wood...maybe some acoustic engineering for included speakers and maybe a sub woofer....if done nicely it could be a good kick-starter project?, I know we have enough engineering tech and know-how on XDA to do it?

Compared to a 1.6L 4 cylinder engine, it's about twice as loud as an idling one, and maybe 60% as loud when it is revving. It's very hard to visualise for me, but the speaker is reasonably loud. I think the cardboard enclosure is absorbing more vibrations than it should though.

I used to use my former S4 while running on the treadmill.
I just leave my phone in front, connected to my LCD, and watch episodes while I run. I use a Sony BT headset too
Now, I'm just waiting for my Slimport adapter to come in so I can perform the same trick with my G2.
If you're gonna jog with the device, I suggest get a much lighter device... a dedicated MP3 player or such.
I'm also thinking of getting an arm band, my ipod classic is too heavy to run in. This LG G2 is light should be fine, I rather not spend money on another iPod. Problem is looking for a arm band that can fit this monster of a phone!
I never though of using a bt headset. I'll have to look into it. I was looking at armbands on amazon and they're cheap so I might just order 1 to see how they fit this phone and if it'll work ok

I use it to run, lift weights, heavy bag, etc. I just stick it in my pocket, been doing that for years. I have to have a smartphone because I only listen to streaming music like DI.FM. I also use BT headphones, the jaybird ones which are awesome and tiny.
I went running the other day with it. I don't have a case or anything and I was using wired headphones. It wasn't too bad but it did get slippery after a bit of running. I'm looking for some armband options or something and some bt headphones eventually.

So...to anyone who's using wired headphones + armband--did you have any trouble with the back buttons getting pressed while running? This is my biggest fear.
As for bluetooth headphones--can anyone recommend a cheap pair of BT earbuds? I feel like that may be the route to go.
I've been using a rocketfish bt (best buy in house brand) and an armband with multiple smart phones for a couple of years and can't go back. Currently using an old armband from my note 2 and have no real issues with running. The only issue is accessing buttons on back but doesn't happen often cause I can control most things I need via the headphones.

I use the new Jaybird Bluebuds which are like $160, they are worth every penny IMO. You can get their old BT style, the Freedom for $99, they are almost as good just a bit bigger. I know that's far from "cheap", but they have great sound and you can be on a trapeze and they won't fall out. I used a coupon code from a running forum and got the bluebuds for like $80 I think.

The Epic Trance channel is phenomenal for workouts !!!
I bought this a few weeks ago and it works really well. http://www.rei.com/product/798346/amphipod-airflow-microstretch-waistpack It stretches enough vertically so that the G2 just fits into it. For reference I doubt that you could fit a Note 3. It barely weighs anything and if I wear it over the waistband of my shorts I can't even feel the belt itself. I can feel the phone but it's not uncomfortable. I zip it up so that just the headphone cord pokes out of the zipper and it's been secure so far. Because of how it it is constructed and how much it stretches I think it would be secure even if it wasn't zipped. It doesn't provide any protection. I'm hoping it will still fit with the Diztronic case I ordered. Right now the phone is naked.I insert the phone so that the buttons are facing away from my body. It's not convenient if you need access to the screen but I don't find that I do.

Shorts pocket. I run lots of hills / sprints and have never had an issue with the phone falling out.
If I buy new running shorts I may look into an armband though.
I have the Jay birds mentioned above.... They are crazy good. The g2.sounds so good with them. I also own the LG tone... It's not bad and under 50.

It shouldnt be too hard to make one on your own, its just a piece of wood. But of course depending of how skilful you are with tools and woodwork it would probably not look as good as the one they are making I know if I made one it would not look very good

You know what.. I just tested (original Pebble) and the magnets in the cable are strong enough to hold up the watch.
If you could get any kind of clip with an arm on it, you could hold the watch up with that..
Perhaps one of those little gimmicky photo holders you see in gift stores with an alligator clip (a block with a piece of wire sticking right up with the clip on the end.. would hold one photo) ?
Bend it at a 90 degree angle. Set it at a height that the band rests on the desk and can take some weight.

There were a few smartwatch / pebble stands on Kickstarter a while back... one called sidekick (listed above) and another called "FirstStand".
I have one of the FirstStand units and it works well for Pebble and Sony SW2.
So, the sales rep at the Sprint store told me that the headphones bundled with the Harman Kardon HTC m8 were great headphones. Since the beats audio headphones that came bundled with the m7 were probably my favorite headphones ever, I decided to give these ones a shot.
Quite frankly, I think they suck. I think they're definitely headed on the right track (ie. +/- volume buttons, pause/end call button & the little sliding piece that can be detached), but these were definitely a miss for me. If I take a single step, these things fall right out of my ears. I've tried every size ear bud that they came with and to no avail; these are pretty much useless to me unless I'm stationary, which is rare. I miss being able to answer my phone with a single button.
What do you guys think of these headphones?
P.S. Anyone want to trade me their m7 headphones for the Harman Kardon ones?

Same here. Maybe we just have...weird ears...lol. The only way they stay in for me is by using the smallest size covers and then jamming them into my ears...which will work for 20 or 30 minutes but they eventually work themselves loose just by the movement of my head. Which is usually a relief since my head has started to hurt from having them jammed in there by then anyway...
Mine are neatly packed up with the rest of my $5- $10 earbud headphones.....

Well... Seeing as I lost my m7 headphones, and am doubtful I'll find another pair that's just as good without spending a pretty penny... I'm just rocking these ones. Even though it's kinda miserable, what is an audiophile to do? Being an audiophile is half the reason I fell in love with the 'one series' in the first place.

Honestly, for the past few months I've found that cheap earbuds that I pick up from Best Buy and such just won't fit my ears properly. At least both at the same time. I've got some $15 Sony earbuds that fit perfectly in my right ear, but the left ear just slips right out, and even when it's nestled in my ear as snug as possible, I get absolutely no bass. This was the case with the Harmon Kardon earbuds until like a few days ago, when they just magically started fitting my ears pretty nicely. I always, always have to start with the right ear, placing it in a certain way and then pressing it in until it feels practically stuck, then moving onto the left earbud which fits perfectly. Don't know what kinda black magic was preventing me from wearing them comfortably before (I pretty much had the same experience as the Sony ones I mentioned earlier), but now I use them pretty regularly with the standard size covers. Don't know how much they're worth, but the sound is good enough for listening on the go, which allows me to keep my nice headphones at home.
By the way, I wouldn't say this song is straight up drum n bass, but it's definitely influenced by it, even some familiar sounding breaks in it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeJbLw2mK9o&feature=kp
