I have a Galaxy S3, and have been wondering the same thing. I've searched a lot for the same info. As far as I know there aren't any units that are android friendly. Most are compatible with Iphone. You should still be able to stream music, or play music from the phone through the unit using an aux or usb connection. I just don't think it will show any artist info on screen.

Greg,I can stream from an iPhone 3/4, a droid RAZR and a droid RAZR m. The weird thing is I have a 4 speaker system and streaming only works on the main 2. All 4 work on other inputs.You can change the LEDs to a bunch of different colors or have them do a disco auto changing thing

Hello Jeanne , my S pen didn't work with my Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 even my Tap 1 unfortunately. I think there is no difference between black or white tips.

Just an FYI:I'd suggest anyone read the Touch spec's very carefully. If using a USB drive connected to the Touch then the music files must be in a format *native* to the Touch. There is no transcoding using the Touch's inbuilt server.Also, Digital outs from Touch to AVR/receiver will work great, but then you are bypassing one of Touch's great selling points being it's very good DAC. Most AVR/receiver DAC's will not be as good as is included with the Touch.

In my experience thE DIGITAL connection is made for the Samsung S4. It doesn't work on other Android devices and i don't have a lightning connector for iphone. You could go out headphone jack to 3.5 mm input. Still sounds great , but good headphones will not sounds as good.

Hi; this being six years after the original discussion was started, I'm hoping for a more up-to-date answer to the same question. I've been using a microSD card in my phone to play music, but the phone is fussy about it (tends to restart when I try to start a song, and additionally has some dust in the audio jack that had me thinking that the left earbud had it out for me when the problem lay with the port). I recently got a 32 GB micro SD card, and am hoping to use that with this product. Does anybody know if it's compatible?

I use it for my S4, so it should still be compatible with the S3 as the audio jacks weren't changed. I bought these headphones last year and STILL love them! I sweat a lot when I run and they never fall out. A great buy!

Not sure what this is, but I plugged in my galaxy s4 to it via USB and it wouldn't play any music. I play music via bluetooth

As far as I'm aware, all Samsung smartphones have a micro SD slot, including the s3, so yes, it will be compatible. I use it on my Samsung Galaxy Note without any problems.

It works as a music pkayer function, ie skip and play on my galaxy s3. It doesnt work as a phone, mic doesn't work either unfortunately

My co-worker just tested with his Galaxy S3 - running Jellybean 4.3. It works - both volume adjustments and pause/play. The headphones come with 2 headphone cables with 3.5 mm jacks on each end - the S700a (for android phones - it has black insulators between the tip/ring/sleeve on the connectors) - and an S700i (for iPhones/iPads/iPods - it has white insulators between the tip/ring/sleeve on the connectors). There's also a USB charging cable. Oh - and there is also a VERY nice case included. Hope this helps.

My s3 doesnt work on it either. However, u can put a flash drive in and it will read that.

I'm trying to determine if my iPhone will be compatible with this unit before I buy it. Is there a list of supported phones anywhere? Also, is text messaging supported? I'd like a Bluetooth enabled GPS to read out text messages when they are received by a paired phone. Will this unit do that?

It's compatible, I have a S4 and I haven't gotten any problems, but just be sure your using it only for phone calls and not music.

My Samsung Galaxy S3 runs KitKat (4.4.2) and it has no problems recognizing this Sandisk Dual USB drive. I can freely transfer files between my phone and this USB drive.

I connected Galaxy S III Headphone Jack with AUX 3.5 to 3.5 to Sharp, and sound was faint, with no bass. I have seen other questions/complaints that indicate the AUX In Jack on the Sharp requires a better quality source to play properly than the other Input options.

I've just bought a Samsung 1.5TB Story Station to go with a SB Touch. as I'm a novice, could somebody let me know if I need to import a programme such as iTunes into the Samsung or Just the Music files on their own?
