If you plug in a headset in the PDA, the microphone underneath the PDA is automaticly turned off (because it assumes you have a microphone on the headset).
Is it possible to prevent this?
If i use my own head-phones without mic, i have to unplug it if the phone rings, else i can talk!
Does anyone know?
GeeZuZz,
I use an fm radio cigarette adapter to play my music through my car stereo and when my phone rings I only have to answer it and my mike does not cut out, the caller can hear me fine and I hear them through the car speakers so I know this doesnt totally answer your question but using the headphone out on mine does not cut out the mike.

Hmm... if i answere the phone with the headset plugged in, they can't hear me. But if i disconnect it, and put it slowly in, they can hear me... in other words, theres a software restriction.
Any way to override this? I'll probably never use a headset anyway (the bundled one was crap).
GeeZuZz,
It is a hardware issue. If you look at your headset's plug, you will notice that it is divided into 4 bands.
1. earth(common)
2. Right earpiece
3. left earpiece
4. mic
When inserted into the socket, the bands actually physically cut signals to the speakers and mic in the device (more like a switch).
Because your headphones stll have the same 3.5mm shape, it will also cut signal to the devices on your pda and transfers the signals to your headphones that has only 3 bands (none for mic obviously).
from my experience, i think its up to the jack that you plugged in to the device, if the jack is a stereo (has 3 black rings), the device will think that a mic is present, thus automatically disabling it. but if the jack is mono (2 ring) the mic will still be enable.
Three black rings(4 bands) mean stereo phones + mono mic. Two Black rings( 3 bands) mean stereo phones only.
Hmm... are there any way i can modify the jack, so that it will not disconnect the mic? Like putting some plastic on the piece of the jack where the mic is supposed to make the connection?
Hi, I recently purchased a converter for my diamond, it's a USB to 3.5mm Headphone jack which I then convert to RCA and use it as in Auxilary in my car and listen to songs through my car speakers. As soon as I start calling I hear the person I am calling through the car speakers but they cannot hear me since the Diamond thinks it is a wired headset hooked up with a microphone. So I wanted to know if it is possible to enable the Phone microphone while hooked up to the headset?
Buy the YC A300 adapter
Buy the Diamond YC A300 accessory. It works. When you plug it in, it mutes nothing. The audio comes from the Diamond speaker and the mic is operational. As soon as you attach your earphones it mutes the built-in speaker, but not the mic. So, it only mutes what is necessary. Just what you need.
the diamond, at least the cdma sprint touch diamond, has a built-in microphone in the same space as the earpiece. i use it all the time when i make calls using my 3.5mm earbuds
Is there a application around which will un-mute the mic though, im guessing its only software mute, not a hardware mute on it.
Maybe it is software but I haven't seen any app that solved this issue
Is there anyway I can talk through the phone's mic and listen with ordinary head phones?
I can do this with pretty much any recent Nokia or iPhone, but the i9000 just seems to ignore normal headphones completely when answering a call.
This looks more like a software thing.
some phones doesn't work like that, you can listen but not talk when using the 3.5mm headphone (without mic)
like my old Palm Treo phones you can only use it unplug, or plug but then your headset will need to have a mic, else it wont work.
the next best thing is Stereo Bluetooth, they all come with a Mic
Not even that much
That's the thing, on the Galaxy S can't even "listen" to the phone call using headphones.

Thank you for your help but...
Thank you for your help, but what I'd really like to do is connect Galaxy to my car stereo's 3.5mm input and answer the calls using the car speakers.
I know that if I used a Nokia Mic adapter, it should work, but CRAP!
This is a way too expensive phone not to do that without the need for an adapter.
I have faith someone will come up with a way to bypass Samsung's stupidity and just leave the audio jack active when in a call.
Also, if I want to use my Sennheiser HD headphones, I can't without putting a crappy adapter between it and the telephone.
if it's for the car, then just get bluetooth for the car, it's by far the easiest way
The easiest way is a 25cent cable
The easiest way is a 25cent cable that does not eat up my battery like BT.
Again, I thank you for your help, but the perfect world would be someone to flip a switch in the phone's software and just make sound come out of it.
You are right; I also had my Hero connected with the 3.5mm cable to my car stereo and when I received a call, I switched my car to AUX and picked up the call, presto! Sound was routed through speakers and mic would pick up my voice perfectly.
Now with my new SGS it just doesn't work! I must leave the cable disconnected and switch the phone speaker mode on to be able to talk. How sh*t is that?
So here I was excited about a 3.5mm jack. Oh well. Just shows to go ya, size doesn't matter.

Hey,
Can you please elaborate on that cable wiring? or where to purchase etc?
I think the best thing is have an adapter with a mic and a female headphones socket to which you connect ANY headphones.
Just a followup on this, my old n95 adapter works perfect.

it's kinda weird. it works and it doesn't.
i have a jvc in-ear earphones and skullcandy lowrider headphone.
when receiving a call with my jvc, audio switches back to the phone's speaker and phone mic won't work unless i unplug the jvc.
with the skullcandy lowriders, call is routed to headphones and phone mic work perfectly.
note: neither of these pairs have an in-line mic, so the mic i am referring to is the one on the phone.

Does the 2nd pair have a quad conductor plug? (like a tv out cable for the galaxy)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
how would i be able to tell?
looking at them physically, the two plugs look the same. gold plated with 2 black bands.

Nokia? Nope... on that thread I posted about the SAMSUNG adaptor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7350178&postcount=22 I use this in the car via the aux port - works perfectly and for £2.95 you cant go wrong.
I am experiencing the same problem, which is very annoying and might keep me from buying Samsung again if they don't provide a fix...

It weird indeed.
I tested an iPhone stock headset (which has the exact same jack as the galaxy S headset, at least visually), and the calls are not ROUTED through the headphones !
A possible explanation for this is that the phone monitors the headphone's impedance: if the impedance is different from the one of the stock headset, then call sound is routed to the phone speaker.
I'm really hoping some developers will come up with a fix or a custom ROM to fix this issue.
i'll post the specs of both headphones for scrutiny when i grt home.
one thing i can day though is that my jvc has 10mm drivers and my lowrider has 40mm drivers. does that even matter?
i'm also gonna try to see what happens of i use my bro's skullcandy asym in-ears.

Any news about this issue?
I am about to throw this phone against the wall because oh this.... Damn!!!!
If there are things which should not be considered "as features", this is one of those...
sorry but it took me a while. first, here are the specs:
skullcandy lowrider
driver: 40mm
freq response: 18 Hz - 20 kHz
impedance: 32 Ohms
Max Input Power: 400mW
jvc HA-FXC80
Driver Unit: 0.23"(5.8mm)
Magnet type: Neodymium
Frequency Response: 8HZ - 25KHz
Impedance: 16ohms
Sensitivity: 103dB/1mW
Max Input Power: 150mW(IEC)
skullcandy asym
Driver Unit: 13mm
Frequency Response: 18Hz - 20kHz
Impedance: 32 ohms
Max Input Power: 30mW
and one more thing i tried...
x-mini max speakers
Drivers: 40mm
Frequency response: 230HZ -18KHZ
Sensitivity: 86db/1mW
Out of all the four, the calls would only route to the skullcandy lowrider. At first I though it might have been driver size, that's why i threw in the x-mini max for the test. looks like there's another factor that's causing this anomaly.
It's definitely soft problem! Because in Nimbuzz software, if you use Nimbuzz-out (same as Skype-out) and i had phone connected to car with 3.5 mm jack, sound went to car stereo, and i was talking using samsung mic. So if they could realize this "feature", why samsung couldn't?
The headphone jack on the G Tablet works with a typical headphone or speakers, as long as you connect it with the right plug.
If you connect a headset with a microphone, to this jack - will that work too?
Will the audio out come into the headset?
Will the audio in go in via the headset microphone?

Wondering the same thing myself but have nothing to test it with.
Nope. I tested with my hands free set in my car and no go. I put my hand over the mic (which is way sensitive BTW) and could only record from internal mic.
Headset/mic combos with one plug are meant for phones. Their input jacks are wired to spk and mic channels.
Headset/mic combos with two plugs are for computers and each plug must go in the right input on the PC.
The GTablet is much more computer than phone, although many of us are using sip apps to MAKE it a phone too.
Our headphone jack is just that, a headphone jack.
It is no secret that Surface RT 3.5mm jack supports TRRS stereo headsets (ear/headphones with a mic). I tried using my HTC stereo headset and it worked just fine! In "recording devices" the external mic got detected & enabled.
The single HTC headset button doesn't seem to do anything, but I am wondering if someone actually managed to find a headset with music controls that work with the Surface.
I am looking to buy Sennheizer PX100-II headphones which can come in "i" version that sports this TRRS connector, a mic and some music controls, but are meant for Apple devices, but I am a bit concerned that they might not work at all because, I think, Apple uses different TRRS pinout..
What are your experiences with Surface and headsets?
