Using WH-500 headset with my N900
 
After 2 of my nokia headphones disabled I purchased Nokia WH-500 and it works perfectly fine with my N900. The music quality is excellent, But there is a small problem, the navigation keys (Call receive, volume, rewind, fwd, pause / play) doesn't work. Although with my N95 it works.

Based upon compatibility issue, is there any command in X-Terminal that can make these navigation keys work with my N900?

thanks in Advance

Try "Headset Control" from app manager...

OK just installed Headset Control. But still the result is same :(. Is there any setting in HeadSet Control that needs to be configured?

I haven't tried that, i just saw it was there...

Anyways, now i installed it and connected headphones with controls that i had for my 5800 and it really doesn't work..

Any ideas anyone?

Looks like something needs to be configured in X-Terminal:confused:

Have you tried to unpair and pair it again after installing headset cotrol? Maybe this will help

Though I don't have the WH-500, I am currently using the BH-503 and it works perfectly. I didn't have to configure anything on xterminal. Can we get response from those that use that same headset to know their challenges.

Cheers

these headsets dont work same as they work with Symbian based phones such as 5800, n95, 97 etc.... I was surprised too. head control only works withe headset that is out of box with n900:mad:

tried to get some response from Nokia care but futile effort.

Does not support as in hardware support or software support?

Apserlutely garantee someone can make it work, this is something small and i bet all it takes is 5 minutes for a dev to figure out what needs doing.

Pairing? Its a wired headset, not bluetooth, that would require pairing / unpairing

When i kill headset-control process, and start it manually using terminal i get the following :
Quote:

process 2678:arguments to dbus_connection_send_with_reply_and_block() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 3298.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
process 2678:arguments to dbus_connection_add() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 5257.

Aborted.
I also noted that in headset-control's description says PR1.2 only..
So, i'm guessing when these bugs are fixed it will work on PR1.3 also...

Headset is found by the phone tho, dmesg gives the following :
Quote:

headphone (GPIO 177) is now connected
input: headset button as /class/input/input1
Any further ideas?

All other nokia headsets are not supported by the n900...

I agree that the default headset shipped with N900 has only one button that is used for answering and ending a call.

If I am not wrong Headset-Control is designed for music that he handles mediaplayer functions like pause/play, Revind, fwd etc.

So how is it helpful with N900 which consists of a headset with no Media keys?

It turns out that headset-control in fact does work. But it is designed for original N900 headset or others with ONE button...

Hardware wise as noted by joerg_rw it should be possible but there is NO software for it yet.

Yeah, being a part of open source, we need to design an API that will make it work with any nokia Headset

OK so you are saying that Headset-Control, which was primarily designed for manipulating music, when comes to N900 will only be helpful in answering & endinng the call with that one button?

Yes, it does manipulate music, with that ONE button, (pause/play)...

OK I thought the purpose of that button is to answer/end call.

So tell me with me WH-500 there is a button for answer/end call, will it work pause and play? With rest of the buttons not working?
