Is there any solution to this problem

I think i wasn't clear enough.
I ordered these:
h--p://www.samsung.com/nl/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phones/mobile-phone-accessories/EHS60ENNBECSTD/index.idx?pagetype=acc_detail&subsubtype=music
They go a lot louder and clearer when i press and hold the button that normally let you awnser a phonecall when you have the earphones plugged in.
It's worser when i use the fm-radio but this effect also applies on mp3's
Sorry if i wasn't clear enough, i hope someone knows what to do about this.

how? there's no e-mail or anything to find on their website

Maybe they're faulty? They look identical to the one that came with my SGS(besides the rubber cover things being white, mine are black), and I don't have that problem.
In fact, when not in a phone call, that button acts as a play/pause button.

The ones which came with my phone didn't have any buttons.
But my sony ericson earphones act the same and the ones i got with my htc legend do it also.
They work fine on my laptop btw.
Must be software related, i just updated to jpu but nothing has changed yet. Is there a setting that i'm missing or something?

Had the same problem. Found out I didn't plug the earphone jack the whole way. Gave it a hard push.. Solved everything

I had the same problem with some headphones designed for the iPhone, So I tapped the Mic button down and since then there fine

You got headphones for iphone. Return them. You notice the exact problem if you plug in the head phones from sgs into a iphone. It's due to samsung using the nokias headset pin layout
Written using grafitti on a Palm VII with 8 megs of ram and overclocked to 32mhz!

Does the tab have the same pin lay-out? Cause i was looking at the samsung p1000 earphones which are designed for the galaxy tab.

I have the same headphones and I wanted to use them with several other phones I bought since my Samsung Galaxy. Roddie1154's answer helped me find a solution: the jack was plugged too deep - I pulled it out for 1 mm and the sound is good also without pressing the button. Now the button works as pause button and it still works with modern phones.
I know many years have passed since original post, but the thread helped me, so I give my solution to the world!

That's caused by inversion of polarity!
I've myself faced this issue very often, and spent a lot of time visiting numerous shops and trying out various earphones; I finally found a couple of compatible ones - one from Nokia, and other from Micromax (EPA065) .
Earphones with mic use TRRS connector, and there are two variants (standards) - OMTP (older) and CTIA (newer). I am guessing that Galaxy S needs earphones that follow the OMTP standard, and thus most of the newer earphones are not compatible. I've observed that most of the earphones that have black rings on the jack (instead of white or gray) work better.

[Q] G2x audio through PC or Ext. Speakers

Sorry to chime in a newb sort of question such as this, but I really need help with getting the g2x to ring through external speakers, even through my PC speakers would work.
I bought an mp3 speaker system last night with aux. line in and tried to hook the phone into the speakers that route - I could hear all audio - EXCEPT the one thing I needed: The ringtone/ringer when the phone rings.
Is there some way to set up a connection (w/o bluetooth) to PC, or through ANY method with external speakers without spending $200+ ?
Thanks.
R

Could someone PLEASE help me with this - or is it:
A.) too stupid a question, or
B.) too complex for anyone here to answer?
My guess would be A., but still, people come here for help... Is there no one who will take a second to answer this?
Thanks to anyone who has the time to help.

I am not sure if the audio has to come from the phones speak when it rings or if it can come out of ext speakers. I am sure someone can answer it and i don't think of this as dumb most likely a setting that you haven't found or a program you need from the market.

Ive been streaming music at work with various android devices for 2 years. Phone is hooked up to 2 pc speakers and a sub. The ringer never came out of the speakers. Must be a limitation of android.

Might be intentional. The first time I got a phone call while I was listening to streaming music on my three-phones-ago Windows Mobile phone, the ring came through the headphones and nearly blew out my eardrums!

[Q] Headphones for Windows Phone Devices?

I know this should probably be posted in my device's forum (Samsung Focus), but I figure more people will probably look here and the topic about headphones in that forum is pretty dead.
I'm looking for headphones that are 100% compatible with a Samsung Focus, or any WP7 for that matter (I might be upgrading to a Focus S or a Titan - not sure yet). I don't want anything too expensive, I just want there to be volume up, volume down, pause / play / next / previous / answer call, and a microphone. I currently use iPhone headphones (as I bought my Focus used and never received a headset) and everything works except for the microphone and volume buttons (I'm surprised that much works).
So can anybody confirm 100% working headphones with the Focus / any WP7 device? Again, I am sorry that I'm not putting this in the right forum but that one has been dead for a few months.
EDIT:
I've looked at headphones here, but nobody has posted reviews on any of the headphones.

Hi Diablosblizz,
I use a simple A2DP receiver and then use whatever earphones/buds that i preferr at the time. All of the controls that you desire are held in the receiver unit and as i say the earphone type/price/quality remain your choice.
Hope this helps,
Creamy

I totally agree with last answer...the jack plug on my phone is dead from first day so i bought a 20€ bluetooth headphone (msound brand)...everything you need works, just an annoying thing since mango: music stops 10secs when a new message coming.

So, basically it is a Bluetooth device that connects to the phone and then I plug my headphones into it? I'm curious as to if this will continue to play my music. I have a PS3 Bluetooth headset that connects to the phone and works perfectly, but I can't listen to music through it.
Is there any way possible you could link me to your device so I could look into it more?

[Q] Skyrocket Low Earpiece Volume Question

My Skyrocket has always had low earpiece volume. It sounds normal until I get in a noisy environment, then I have to press my ear totally against the phone which barely helps. My wife's Galaxy s2 i777 has louder volume and doesn't have this problem. I have tried all the available roms for my device to no avail. Is this normal for this phone, and if so, is there anything I can do to fix this problem? Any app that will work? I love this phone as it meets all my needs except for the volume. Thanks for your help!
edit: i bought this phones 2 months ago from Ebay. I researched it before i bought it, but the main issues others had with the skyrocket was the battery life with LTE. Well, the battery life has been great after custom rom, But the volume is terrible. I first thought i was sold a defective phone but then i found out that others had the same problem, but no solutions. Even all the volume boosts apps that work on other phones (for reasons WAY above my pay grade) do not work on our skyrocket.

...Anybody?... I know this problem of low earpiece volume is common with the skyrocket and has been brought up on many different forums, but I have not found anyone who has found a way to resolve the problem. Any help or direction would be appreciated. This trouble exist with both stock and custom roms.

still no answers?...sigh...

Well, I have replaced the earspeaker and the problem still persists. To clarify, the speaker is not as low as it was when Beanstalk 4.4 was going thru its growing pains and the volume level dropped after one of the builds a month or so ago. It is just that standing outside with normal outdoor sounds (occasional traffic, birds tweeting, outdoor noises) ihave to hold my ear directly against the speaker. I dont have that problem with my wife's s2 i777

Well, a month has passed with no replies. I have found that the volume level is good when using a headset to answer calls, so I have resorted to trying to be sure to carry earbuds with me. On the rare occasion that I dont have earbuds are the days I dread having this phone. As I us my phone for work, I need it to work as a phone first, and a smartphone secondary. As I stated before, I love the features of this phone, but there has to be a workaround for the volume levels. Maybe I'm just getting old and you young folks dont use the phone to actually speak to each other. Woah! Who let my dad in the room?!!? Anyway, Still looking for help. I am not asking which rom is better than another, but are there any roms that have louder volume levels? I have tried many here including Beanstalk, Dirty Unicorns, Liquid Smooth, Sultans CM 11...

Bean Stalk comes with am app called DSP manager which helps control volumes for bluetooth headsets. Give that a shot. It may just be your headset

The headset isn't the problem. The phone sounds great thru all the headsets that I have tried and thru the loudspeaker. The low volume level is when I am not using the headset and actually have to place my ear up to the phone(earpiece speaker). Its usable in normal areas, such as inside a room, but standing outside with normal background sounds like nature and light road traffic, I can barely hear the caller. I have to press my ear against the phone pretty hard, which usually ends up with accidental button presses and hangups.

Oh i understand, yes I have had that same issue which is why i bought a blue tooth headset.... Not sure if programming can do anything about the internal speaker.

Yeah, I was kinda hoping that maybe somebody discovered something that solve this. I don't know anything about programming, but I was thinking that back when beanstalk had those troubles with extra low volume, it was eventually fixed. And since he was able to boost the volume back to correct levels maybe it could be boosted just a little bit more. Or Since DSP works with bluetooth speakers and headphones and external speakers it seems like it would be easy to make it boost the earpiece volume. But I know that it is NOT easy...it may be impossible. If it was easy then there would have been a fix long ago. But a man can hope, can't he?

[Completed] Is it possible to amplify the volume of my phone's receiver and speaker?

My phone has an irritatingly low and almost inaudible volume. Both my speaker and the receiver provide very little sound—distant, in case of the latter. It causes me to press the device harder against my ear to understand clearly during a call and turn off the fan in my room to listen to music on the speaker. Can it be helped? My phone is a QMobile A5Classic, android 4.0.4.
