Hey peeps,

I thougth, I would let you know, that the Jolla phone has the same headphone jack as the iPhone 4 and later. That means that the jolla phone supports the TRRS jack and all those accessories. Not only the original iPhone headphones, but also the Rode smartlav(+) for high quality audio recording, which I have both successfully tested, do work flawlessly.

Working: - headphones for iPhone 4 and later, Play/pause, no skipping or volume controls - Rode smartlav/ smartlav+, no problems at all, sound quality seems to be as advertised

This seems also to be true for the jolla tablet.

If you know of more compatible hardware, I guess this is the place to be ;-) Just comment and I will add all accessories one at a time.

Cheers

Play/pause button works on Android compatible headphones as well.

This is considerable well known by now. What you are referring to as TRRS is just a form-factor widely referred to as 4pole-3.5mm jack, I came along 4 types of TRRS 3.5mm setups, G(GND), A(AUX Mic or Video), L & R as follows GLRA, ALRG, LRGA & LRAG -> LRAG & LRGA give compatibility to TRS LRG setups. Nokia managed to support simply both. Nowadays LRGA is the common interface for Mobilephones and Mediaplayers - anything else is considered exotic (I have been told). The compatibility with buttons otoh is a more complicated interface but as we are using android hardware...

Which is why I wrote iPhone TRRS compatible. Just for clarification: You can not plug in a TRRS rode smartlav in an Android smartphone -> it wont work, because the order of contacts is vice versa for iPhones. So what „L“, „R“, „G“, „A“ order does our Jolla have?

this still does not answer my last question. And sorry, you are not helping this matter at all.

You did not even read it, you did not even check on your own statements... Jolla is listed among the companies, 5th company in CTIA row! CTIA is LRGA and you are misinformed and generalizing "android"-phones -> my reference to android hardware is that it supports everything android hardware wise, that does not mean software wise. Smartlav Mics are also available for android, the compatibility list holds 50+ android devices for their TRRS system! I am already offended by the title as this is not iPhone specific or Apple hardware.

Well then, excuse me and change the title to something more appropriate. Last time I checked, the Rode mic was not compatible with a host of new smartphones. Didn't find the compatibility list, though. my bad.
