mic/beats/skullcandy

[Bizzare]

I had some skull candies 50/50s with mic 3 and the mic didnt work as soon as I got my s3 so I uprgraded to a pair of urBeats they sound grate but again mic didn't work, so far the only head phones with a mic that work are the pair of headphones that came with the s3, does any one have the same issue? Is there a fix? I would hate totake back the urBeats back bit if mic don't work there going back. Also if there's no fix does anyone about a good pair of headphones with a mic that do work?

Mic 3's and Beats only work on Apple's iPod, iPhone, and iPad. The Mic (Mic1) work on android, but recently on my android the mic was messed up.

I am having the same prob. my beats worked fine on my s2 but now with the s3 they do not ... i dont understand why

There was a change in the S3 for the pinning for the Headphones and Mic. Don't know why. I have searched for an adapter but no luck.

If you enable TTY VCO mode, the mic on your beats will work fine. Volume will be high in phone calls but music audio will be fine

Some have reported that these cables will allow headphones wired for Apple to work on the S3:

Others have said this app will do the trick: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...DEsImNvbS5rb2Jlci5oZWFkc2V0Il0&token=XHSZmWVw.

Did you ever find out if the convert worked? I just bought some Skullcandy headphones for my snowboard helmet and realized it didn't work once I got it plugged in.... I hate Apple so much for putting this standard out there on the world.

yeaa so idk maybe my urbeats arent working because i got some apple headphones stuck in them and had to get them out with tweazers but i dont think it did any damage so i enabled TTY VCO and tested the mic on my galaxy s 3 nothing i dont hve any volume control or microphone control all i can do is pause not even play it
any help?
