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.
check this topic, some people already found out several models that works with SGS

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)

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?
As you all know that using 3rd party headphones with standard 3.5mm jack has always been an issue with the i9000. I just found out today that my 5 years old Philips SBC HS520 headset works fine with the i9000, amazing sound quality comparing to the stock headphones or even some of the entry level Senheiser. Bare in mind this headset was really cheap and the bass is more than adequate for linkin park. What I would like to discuss is that if anyone else has found any headphones that is good quality and works well with the I9000?
Im using Philips SHH1112 adapter and it works great together with my Sony NUDE earphones. The Sony works well too when connected to the galaxy directly.
There's a super cheap adapter that I've been using with HTCs.. Doesn't work here. I suspect its a size tolerance issue.

For normal audio any head(ear)phone with a 3.5mm jack will work. The problem is getting the mic working on a call. I have used numerous in ear earphones, a headphone, a PC speaker system, the auxiliary input of my car Audio system, etc.. they all work. But have to take them off to make a call, unless I use an adapter with a built in mic (i.e Nokia AD-54 or a Bluetooth headset).
That's not the case - every standard headphone I've used works perfectly fine. Maybe you are referring to head/earphones with mic...
Anyway - I use the creative ep-630 and music sounds fantastic. You can pick these up for under $20...

Hi.
As we know, the audio output (mini plug out) from the Inspire is weak. I see no software fix for it and I want to boost the sound to my car stereo. Does anyone know of a small amp with female mini plugs (one input-one output) that can fix this issue?
Thanks.
No issues with mine. I just turn on equalizer. Guess it really depends on how loud you want it. Equalization will only enhance it.

You might try the power amp music player from the market. In settings it has a pre amp that is adjustable.

No. It only boosts what's being played by it.
I too have the same issue (Toyota?)... It's not an issue with the car's stereo because any other device works fine. I have noticed that some apps are REALLY quiet. I use the built in Music player because it seems to be the least worst, but yeah, definitely an issue with the device. Boo.
There are a lot of options. Search google for inline headphone amplifier.

Yeah, didn't want to have to use more adaptors tho, dohh
Maybe
I have FiiO E5 that is designed for headphones it might be a good choice, I will have to try it sometime! I dunno I just turn up my headunit haha and I turn off the EQ when in my car due to it just muddying up the bass and such...
I just purchased Skullcandy Fix Bud Headphones which turned out to be made of iP*.
The best headphones (sound wise) I've ever own so far. The only drawback is that volume buttons don't work.
Is there a way make it work on Android?
Thank you.
it should just work, however its possible that apple is doing some odd 1 off thing AGAIN. plug them in and try, if it works great if not your screwed save cutting the buds off and wiring it onto the stock headset lol
i have klipch s4i. I used this with iphone now i hav android and it does not work. Just thought i would let you know.
Any updates or ideas? I just got some Beats by dr.dre in ear earphones and yeah the volume buttons don't work on my android phone either(sidekick 4g) which really sucks.. apparently they're made for iP* too :/
There's an application called Klipsch Control that enables the volume button usage I think.

Download a app called headset button controller try that out
so i was looking for some nice earbuds and since i listen to music on my phone a lot at work, though maybe i'd get some with a mic too. klipsch has the S4a available specifically for android (with a single button remote) and aside from that it is identical to the S4i, the 3 button apple version.
since my local bestbuy didnt carry the A's, i was searching the interwebs for success using the I's. in all my searching i found 1 post where someone confirmed the mic of the S4i worked on their android and that they were using ICS. i figured i'd take a chance on them since i had gift card and reward certs to use at bestbuy. i can confirm that the S4i's work with the sensation running ICS 4.03. the phone recognizes the mic and it does in fact work. the two volume buttons do not work (i expected this). the center button plays/pauses music and answers/hangsup phone calls all without 3rd party software. doubleclicking the center button seems to redial the last call. i would suspect that could be addressed by klipsch's app or other 3rd part apps but ive not tested them.
just wanted to post that the S4i earbuds/mic do in fact work on the sensation in case anyone else goes searching for this answer in the future.

I found this to work with my Sol Republic Amps HD as well. The earbuds are meant for ipods, ipads, and iphones, but work on my Senny running Virtuous Sensation 3.0 running ICS.
I took a call from my wife and she could hear me fine with the earphones, so the Amps HD is a keeper for me as well.
I just wanna clear this up but the klipsch s4i and any mic'd headphones will work for any android phone (mic and sound) but volume control/track change buttons will never work for android phones if headphones are IOS specific (and Vice-versa)
- Regular headphones have a 2-banded input plug
-Mic'd headphones and android OK 3-button headphones have a 3-banded input
-Mic'd Iphone headphones with 3-button control have a 4-banded input plug and the extra band tends to pull on your 3.5mm headphone input so be careful about pulling out/plugging in your headphones fast (if your careful and slow u will not cause any harm to your phone :] )
I mention all of this because i've heard android phones (the input plug) have the ability to utilize 4-band 3-button headsets but android software makes this impossible. So one day you may get an update and all of the buttons on your s4i(s) may work. but this is baseless speculation ive heard and I would really like to know if this is true or not also
anyways congrats on the new headphones and hope that all makes sense
good info. i only posted this because i found many ppl online saying the mic wouldnt work on their android with the s4i.
