Apple In-Ear Headphones w/ JB iPhone

[mdendr]

I recently went out and bought the Apple In-Ear headphone, I plugged them into my jailbroken iphone 3g and the remote does not work (I cant skip songs or pause them), i was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem and if this was related to the fact that my phone is jailbroken?

Thanks.

I don't think it's related to the fact it's Jailbroken- I've got the new headphones too and the skip/pause button works just fine. The volume controls of course don't, but I knew that going in. I'd check that it's plugged in fully, and if it still doesn't work, maybe find someone else with at iPhone/iPod Touch or really new iPod Classic and see whether it works on those. It's far from inconceivable that the clicker is broken- I had that problem with my original iPhone headset.

Yeah. I've recently jailbroken, and my pair of the new headphones work just as well as they did pre-jailbreak.
It'd be good if there was a hack to allow the volume controls to work...

so mine dont work with my jb phone... I took the headphones to an apple store and they plugged them into their iphones and the remote worked but not in my phone. Any way to fix this?

**so my phone is no longer jailbroken and the remote for my headphones still do not work, they do however in my friends phone... any advice on what to do?

Might be lint in the jack. Try some compressed air blasted in there.
