Help No headset support??!!!! proprietary? :(

what?!!! it may just be my droid x? Im kinda relieved cause that would be an easy fix. So u have these exact headphones? and the mic works?

Sorry If I wasn't clear, the speakers do work, its just the mic that doesn't. :(
 
Damn, those are some sweet looking headphones. I might just get me some of those. Which model you got? Im looking at the vibe duo.
 
These are all just standard 1/8" TRRS connectors. Make sure the one you have is plugged in all the way. If the earphones work then you have ground and two speak leads, only one other lead in the connector.
 
Ya that's what im thinking, maybe that one lead is not making contact or something. However the plug is all the way in. How can i make that happen? Do u happen to know exactly which conductors are for what? I believe the one nearest to the wire is ground right?
 
If you press the mic button, do they default to voice command or will they pause your music and let you take a call? I need a set that will let me take an incoming call while I'm listening to Pandora.
 
Pressing the button will bring up the voice commands, or pause the music and answer the phone like you said. However, it will not pause Pandora unless there is a phone call. In other words if you just want to pause Pandora for the fun of it you have to turn on the screen and pause it manually. Otherwise it will launch the voice command on top of Pandora. So frustrating for me.

Yeah thats what I have, I love them. I have the red ones because they feel so droidish that way. V-moda Vibe Duo - headset - In-ear ear-bud, Binaural - GunmetalRouge

Sometimes they seem to get a bad rap, but I believe that is from when they had a regular rubber like cord on them. I had a pair like that and they self destructed real easily. With the kevlar reinforced cable they have now though they are awesome. I am very pleased with the sound quality, but then again I in no way consider myself to be an audiophile.

Is there any way to disable voice commands or delete the application altogether? It works perfect on my Incredible and I'd like it to work the same way on my X. Thanks!
 
Damn, maybe that's the problem. My skullcandy has 3 buttons vol up, down, and i guess the main mic button. They don't work right on the X, when i press any of them it runs the call back thing. Unless there's no calls in the history, then they do nothing.

I still hate the fact that they worked on my friends cliq :( the only button that worked was mic button and it did what u explained, take u to the voice command and stuff. I wouldn't mind the vol buttons not working at all, he'll i think id be happy if just the mic worked. Damn this is anoying. I guess the 3.5mm jacks are different. :/
 
if the plug is too wide / aka the part u used to push in the metal part, it can ride up too high and not allow the plug to be fully inserted.

I cant use my high end sony headphones because of this.. but my ultimate ears head phones and my Ultra sone head phones work great because they have an ultra minimal plug.

"for your health"
 
As far as the 50/50s are concerned:

There is no problem with the jack. The headset works in the Motorola Cliq of OP's friend, and it worked in my girlfriend's iPod Touch and my old EnV Touch. It did not, however, work in my Droid 2 or my mom's Droid X. The problem is software-related, according to a customer service guy I called at Skullcandy. He says that some newer phones aren't playing nice with the "MIC3" technology in the mic, and judging by the fact that it seems to work in everything except for my Droid 2 and my mom's Droid X, I'd say it's Motorola-specific software conflict. Unfortunately, Motorola's customer service was utterly unhelpful, and I can't get ahold of Google via phone.
