Okay, so I know Lumia 920 is rolling out globally and it's cool and best and all that... But I still want to show care for my N9 64Gb and just bought replacement WH-902 that originally came with it (EU, Finland version) and which I lost long time ago.

The 902 came from eBay and shipped from Hong Kong. I have two problems:

- for one they don't work with my N9, when the original ones did when I got the phone in February (2012) but work with all other devices, while N9 works with most other "dumb" headsets (no MIC no call button) I tied.
- for second the WH-902 I got doesn't say "Nokia" on them anywhere and look a bit fake (lacquer not perfectly sharp on edges, steel grid is not so well brushed as I remember my original 902's)

Please let me know what you think: Why N9 + WH-902 I got = fail to work, and if you think there is a way to check if the 902 are fake.

For the record they came tucked into a plastic ribbon, no box. OEM like my original ones that were in the box of my Made in Finland Nokia N9.

I just thought I'd post that my N9 has just developed this problem. The earphones which Nokia supplied work, and one other set, but they aren't much good for me: they don't fit my ears well and I'm a bit deaf, so I spent lots of money on a better set of Phonak earphones and an amplifier. Neither of them are recognised by the phone now, so wasted money unless I buy a separate MP3 player that works.

Unfortunately headphonefix doesn't work on my phone either, which is a terrible shame as it seemed an ideal solution. I'm not sure if I've installed it wrongly or something, I'm pretty ignorant about the phone. I just double clicked on it in the file manager, having set the phone to install non Nokia Store software. It looks as if it installed ok, but the buttons don't appear to do anything. Anyway, thanks greatly to Mitrandir for trying, and I'm glad if others have found it works. If anyone can suggest anything to get it going on my phone I would be very grateful.

Okay so I just found out that there is WH-902 and also WH-901 out there and that the 902 uses "American" AHJ jack vs the OMTP connector which I assume N9 uses. Just a speculation here, but perhaps answers why I have the problem. (http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/support/t...FA136274_en_US)

You can tell if that's the problem if you hold down the button and plug the headset in and they're recognised a plain headphones.

The N9 does indeed use the "standards body that no-one listened to" standard whereas iPhones, thus most 3rd party headsets, thus most Androids, thus Lumias use the "Apple did it this way so we'd best make it work" standard.

So to make an iPhone headset work on the N9 you'll need to buy or make an adaptor.
