Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a replacement headset for the SGS (the bundled one's sound doesn't cut it for me), but after having tried a couple (Ety HF2, etc) I noticed that, while they work fine for media playback, none of them work as a handsfree solution, ie the sound of a phonecall doesn't pass through when they're connected.
Anyone tried a good pair of handsfree earphones that work?
Thanks.
headsets that work for Nokia N97 ( and similar ) would work.

I bought a nameless one off ebay, advertised for Nokia 3.5mm jacks.
yeah, the iPhone and HTC ones do not work, which surprised and annoyed me because I have 4 or 5 iPhone headsets and adaptors which I was using with my HTC BlackStone/HD.
Then I found out that the 2 sections of the pin nearest the sleeve are wired in reversed ( iPhone/HTC earphones are wired left, right, ground, mic, whereas Nokia/Samsung earphones are wired left, right, mic, ground). The ground and mic are reversed. Very annoying.
could it be this?

How about the offical ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230487010384&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
i use my triplefi10 through a nokia ad57 remote

i had to switch the cable for the triplefi10 form vi to stock cos the vi cable is iphone compatible so the ground and mic terminals are reversed.
i got the stock trs cable for the triplefi10 pro and plugged it into the nokia remote and now i have a headset mith inlline mic with remote

This sounds like a good solution, but doesn't it make the cable incredibly long so you can't use it while walking?

yup the cables are a problem. Im in the process of making a diy cable for my triplefi10. planning of making it only up to the y-junction and terminate there with a 3.5 plug so its short. Good thing about the triplefi10 is you can replace the cable. I havent received the plug connectors i ordered yet so im still waiting. I used the cable of the nokia headset that came with the adaptor for the 5310xpressmusic. I cracked the earpieces and desoldered the cable. now all i have to do is attach the plug connectors once they arrive
Could someone clarify whether this Nokia AD57 does work WITHOUT any modifactions? I assume the modifactions you made were for the earphones?
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_...13&_nkw=nokia+ad57+&_sacat=See-All-Categories
So AD57 with standard earphones work fine?
though I did come across this whistl on eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GENUINE-SAMSU...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item4aa27f72c5
Sony Ericsson Headsets do work with this phone
I do have an old headset from my previous Xperia X10 which was stolen...
the headset works perfectly with samsung Galaxy S, even the mic can be used for communicating...
its a perfect match

yes i can confirm the remote adaptor works (ad57)
the nokia remote adaptors with multiple buttons for music remote doesnt work (ad54 and others with forward reverse buttons) which is a pity i think, considering that the player on the SGS is one o the best players on any device anywhere, i think. I aredy mailed samsung development about remote control support for the player and they acknowledged the suggestion
using a good A2DP capable Bluetooth Headset will give you that ability out of the box right now as i'm using it.
Yes and kill your battery twice as fast... Bluetooth sucks up power. Especially when cold like skiing.

wired headsets doesn't work for me, it always end up dead, broken, the worst is when it breaks at the phone side,
i can care less if the headset itself breaks.
is horrible to use wired headsets in a busy subway/bus
when -skiing- skateboarding i always use my motorola HT820 it's warm, doesn't fall off, and is extremely convenient
it goes perfectly with the goggles and headband/hat
I've just ordered this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350335571399&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

NOOOOO that's an absolute must have for me.
Can u send me the samsung dev info i'll do the same (do they tend to acknowledge everything or can we reasonably assume they'll think about it?)
Is it possible to develop a driver for the remotes to work?

AFAIK, the remote support is software dependent, it might be correct to state that its really a matter of adding some more lines of code to the player application to recognize double and triple presses on the mic button as it aredy recognizes single presses. Also, for those nokia music adaptors with remotes, i think they have batteries inside and if you press the forward button, they send signal pulses akin to double or triple press. As far as the volume buttons tho, i dont have any idea how it is implemented, but it may be anchored on the pulse frequency too but it must be on a system wide implementetion.

re: Samsun Galaxy S Music Player
Hi, I just got the samsung galaxy s.
I would like to know if the player supports remote commands from the inline mic button of the headset other than play and pause.
I would like to have the usual press twice to go to next track and press thrice to go back but it seems the player does not recognize this.
Also, it would be nice to support those headsets with integrated music controller like dedicated fast forward, reverse buttons.
Thank you
SOLVED: It was the cable.
Searching around, this seems to be a common problem with a variety of phones, some it works, some don't. My old G1 worked flawlessly in this manner.
Whenever I have a pair of headphones or my auxiliary cable for my car plugged in, the internal mic doesn't work when I receive a call. This sucks, because if I'm listening to music in my car and get a call, I have to remove the phone from the window mount and unplug the cable while driving down the road, or fiddle around with the power button to switch the phone to speaker mode (screen goes black after answering a call with the cable plugged in).
Is there a solution for this other than spending $180 on a bluetooth integration kit for my car (was looking at the Parrot MKi9000 or KlaT7)? I'm a little scared of this route considering the problems people have been having with A2DP on Gingerbread. I'm hoping the official Gingerbread release (if it EVER releases) will fix the A2DP and/or this issue. I am running Froyo right now, but am eagerly anticipating the official Gingerbread release.
Thoughts?
That does not match my experience with the stock ROM. I listen to Pandora in my car via an FM transmitter that is plugged into my earphone jack, and I receive calls all the time without having to go into speakerphone mode: the caller's voice comes through the car loudspeakers, and they hear me just fine. I just ran an experiment with a pair of earphones (no microphone) plugged in and called myself from my landline and I definitely heard it loud and clear over the landline phone when I blew into the microphone hole in the bottom of the G2x.
That definitely is odd. The phone is rooted along with faux's kernel, but I have the stock ROM. When I have the cable plugged in no one hears me on the other side, and voice dialing doesn't work either. Is your G2x all stock?

Yes, completely stock and unrooted.
Have you tried it with a different cable or with plain vanilla earphones?
No I haven't tried a different one yet. I'll try that when I get home tonight. Thanks for your input!

My guess is its the cable. Probably something with the connector is tricking the phone into thinking it has a microphone built in, just like when you plug in a headset it mutes your handset mic.
You are both correct. Just tried a different cable and it works great.
The cable I was using was the one included with the T-Mobile Window Mount Kit. I was using it because I have the Speck case and the original one I bought from MonoPrice.com was too thick to fit through the hole. The T-Mobile cable was skinnier and just barely fit. I took the phone out of the case and tried the one I bought from MonoPrice and it worked perfectly.
Thanks for the help!
Now I need to decide whether or not to bore out the hole larger on a $30 case. As most reviews have stated, it does scratch very easily and is very difficult to get the phone out. Anyone know of any other cases that have a larger diameter hole for the headphone out?
Hello,
I have bought some earphones by bassbuds.
The problem now is that the sound is very dull and quiet. A friend of my got an iPhone and
has no problems.
On the cable of the earphone is a button to stop the music or somthing. When I
push it, the sound will be much better. I have tested the earphones on my laptop,
there is no problem with the sound.
Usually the sound should be like that when I hold the button on the cable.
Im on RemICS-UX v1.2
4.0.4 ICS
Does someone got any problems like this?
U need a nokia (or some other generic) adapter for headsets that have a button.
Can't remember the model number but you should be some topics about it in the forum.
Would it solve the sound problem or the to malfunction button?
Your cable has different contact points compared to the phone's port.
Using the 3.5mm adapter (iphone to nokia/generic) will solve your problem. I'm not sure though if the button will still work.
I just received my Tronsmart TS7 Glacier from Geekbuying. The phone is a nice HTC One lookalike with some awesome features including a long life 2200 mah battery, MTK6589 Quad Core processor, 1 GB RAM and a crystal clear screen. It is extremely well built and feels both heavy and solidi the hand. The included cover is rubbish, though it is free in the package so I'm not going to complain. Bluetooth supports A2DP, which works well with my Bluetooth stereo. The bottom menu, home and back keys are capacitive and illuminated - though they are so dim, that they could have avoided backlighting them altogether.The device was easy enough to root, so all in all great value. Make sure you ask for a discount for the phone, after initiating live chat on Geekbuying. I am not affiliated to them.
Oddly enough, the package had the IMEI stickers in the box, which said Cubot One. They look visually identical and I wanted to check if they are infact the same pieces, for firmware support. Can anyone confirm this please?
The supplied headset is rubbish, so I used a BlackBerry and an iPhone "headset" (Headphones with a built in mic and that has 4 contacts on the end of the 3.5mm jack) and used it with the phone. Unfortunately the headset is detected as a headphone only (i.e. With no mic; You see this on an icon near the Wifi signal) - spitting out terrible muffled sounds, unless I press and hold the (Call / End) button on the cord. The second I let go of the button, the sound returns to a terrible state.
If I plug in regular headphones, without a mic, I'm fine, but I have this problem with headsets (Again - headphones with a built in mic with call / end button) used with the TS7.Do any of you have a similar issue? I'm worried I got a half lemon. It's really bothering me. Can this be fixed by software?
Would love to hear back from you. on whether this is a common problem, or one only with my set.
P.S. The rubbish supplied headset is detected / works fine - But they sound TERRIBLE! The supplied headset also works well with my Blackberry 9790 - but my Blackberry headset does not work well with the TS7. Any thoughts? Do I need a special headset?
Thanks in advance,

I have the same problem man, and I was wondering If I'm the only one!!!
I tried with sony ericsson headphones...
And I have an additional problem.. when I connect my phone to my pc speakers or my amplifier and the big speakers, It pauses the music, disconnects and connects again to the cable... Every time I press play it does the same!
And another thing that I couldn't figure out with this phone is that when I go to install a big game it tries to install the sd data to phone's storage,
and says that I don't have enought free space... Even though from starage setting I have set both those settings to SD card!!!

I fount this topic because and I have that problem and do just what you say. I got my phone few days ago.
I try one my in-ear headphones and have terrible sound, then I try speakers from the computer, and when I press play, it let sound for 1 sec and stop immediately. My first conclusion was that perhaps it has a weak sound output on jack, or headphones and speakers have too much ohms resistance.
II hope you will find some solution.
For the memory, try replacing the internal memory to the memory card using this procedure (put link in google translator to translate in english): http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=616319
Hi there. I do not have the pausing problem, but I can now listen to any headphones / headsets with an adapter I bought from eBay.
Seach for "iphone to nokia adapter" on Ebay. It should cost between $2.50 to $3.00.
Hope it helps - I am enjoying all my headsets with the TS7 now (Blackberry, iphone, beats etc).
Do any of you know if there are any firmware updates for this phone?
Thanks...

I can confirm it works. I just got a cable that I ordered 14.4. for headphones. Now the sound is normal (no more like to play in a barrel), and recognizes the headset with a microphone (in the taskbar near the clock displays the headset with a microphone, before was just headphone icon). But I still can not play music through the speakers of the computer. Immediately after press play, the song stops and disconnect the speakers. Probably they have too much resistance or something that can not "push" sound.
Oh, and here's a link cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/22132695223...arms=gh1g=I221326952237.N19.S2.M-34513.R2.TR2
Hi all, I got a Moto G 8gb from Phones4U, and my Bose QC15 noise canceling headphones made a nasty clicking noise every time they were plugged in. The clicking would happen no matter if something was playing or not. Nothing would play out of either channel, and the software would randomly pause whenever they were plugged in, as if they were being unplugged. Various cheap earbuds worked, but not my QC15s. I factory reset it three times, and obviously tried the headphones on about a half dozen devices, including a Galaxy IV, iPhone 5C, Nexus 5, my laptop, my desktop, and an old iPod Classic -- all worked perfectly.
I took it to Phones4U and exchanged it for another model, which had the exact same problem. We tried a 16gb version and it had the exact same problem too. Then we tried it with various other phones and my QC15s worked, so they told me that my headphones must obviously not be compatible with the Moto G line. Then they said I wasn't even eligible for a refund because it was about compatibility, not a defect. I raised hell and finally got them to refund it, but now I don't know what to do. Anybody else have noise canceling headphones, especially the QC15s, that they have successfully or unsuccessfully used?

You were probably a bit hasty returning the phone just for this, but you're right there's something screwy about the Moto G's handling of wired earphones that are more complex than basic stereo. I can't get any 3-button remote headset to work with it properly, for example. No doubt Motorola will deal with this in future updates ... unless they only want us to buy the Sol Republic Jax earphones, which would not be good ...
I'm also surprised you got a refund, as Motorola doesnt claim compatability with your headset. Also surprised that Phones4U now have 16GB in stock

Just for the record I have a 16gb Colors edition from Brazil and I use a Sennheiser bluetooth headphone with my Moto G (PX 210 BT) and it works beautifully!
I can use all its buttons with no problem: play/pause, volume up and down and skip track forward/backward.
One interesting thing I noticed was: the headphone did not perform very well with Google Play Music. Both sound quality (it would constantly click during playback) and the buttons (play/pause button would only work with screen on) were not up to standard.
However when I installed my player of preference, PlayerPro, and messed a little bit in the settings of the app with audio priority and with the keyguard settings both audio quality and buttons were working great!

Yes, bluetooth is another matter of course. But I guess he has a reason to be sore when those wired Bose QC15 headphones cost twice as much as the phone itself
Workaround to make them work
I have the same problem connecting my QC15 with moto G. With some experimenting I somehow made them work and they are perfectly fine now. Follow the below steps to make them work with your phone.
1. Disconnect the headphones to the phone and start music on any player(Google play or your choice) on the phone.
2. Once the song starts playing insert the headphones into the jack. Imp Note: remove the headset part from the wire.you should only insert the wire without having the headset piece.
3. Now the song will continue to play. Now switch on the headphone and insert the wire into the headphone. It should work now.
I know this shouldn't be the actual scenario, but engineers at Motorola have made up some mess which cannot be cleaned up now with respects to hardware. The phone is little wierd on headphones port. Its not working with aux cables in my car too
I have SMS street by 50 cent and every thing works fine. skip/pause and previous track
Sent from my XT1032 using xda app-developers app
Same problem
I've experienced the same problem with Bose QC15 and the Moto G. Motorola support were rude and unhelpful, first assuming that the QC15 were bluetooth and telling me flat out that it was not a fault of their hardware. Eventually I got a ticket raised so we'll see what happens. Not holding my breath.
bonthukarthik, your fix works - thank you for sharing - although I must add that this step has to be repeated whenever playback is stopped or paused (including when Spotify plays an advertisement). If I find anything out from Motorola, I will share it here.
I just got some qc15's and they only worked out of the left ear with the moto x. I used the work around above and they now work. weird. play/pause button now works but the volume does not on the inline headphone controls.
What kind of connector this headset/headphone has?
CTIA or OMTP?
I have skullcandy 2xl single button headphones and it doesn't work
when i attach the headphones the music pauses
Confirmed
I can confirm this issue with Moto X and also the workaround. I have contacted Motorola but so far no luck in getting through to someone who can open an issue internally
Skullcandy not working
Have the same problem
I have the skull candy inkd 2
It only works when its 3/4 inside but when I push it all the way in a clicking noise plays
Please find a solution
Hi.
I just got a moto g, I have a bose qc3 and the same problem.
It seemed tome that it seemed to me that it was connection or impedance related... so I tried a few things.
The best way I found to make it work fast is plugging it in using the airplane jack adapter. It works perfectly fine but the remote won't work.
I guessed that it means that it's remote/impedance related.
Like it was said before, unplugging the jack on your headset, playing something on the phone and plugging it it afterwards works too... But I really don't know why !
Any clues, anyone (with advances electronic skills)?
With my former android phones I had troubles using the answer/play remote on some headphones/buds, but never like that. It was allways clear to me that iphone and android headset/buds remotes work in a different way, and sometimes even differently depending on your android model or brand...
My guess is that using a cable without a remote will work... but it's be nicer to have a working remote.
---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------
I found something, just a clue, I don't mean it'll work for sure.
http://m.instructables.com/id/Galaxy-Nexus-and-others-headset-remote-with-medi/
Alright here are some more details / partial solutions :
- If you plug your qc using the jack with the remote/mic and the airplane adpter, the sound sill work, but you'll lose the mic and commands. Basically it's the same as if you plugged it in usgin a "regular" jack cable (that bose sells, or used to, btw)
- if you use the "play and then plug jack in headset" workaround, sound will work, the main button too : it'll play/pause, but if you stop and quit tha music app, the problem will come back
- almost the same with a call, if you call your phone and wait for it to ring before pluging the jack into your hedset the sound will work both sound and mic, but the button fonctions are weird : at first it'll aswer the call, but afterwards it'll work as an on/off switch for the mic.
- Best solution I found : when you plug your headset and have the parasite problem, just press the main button on your remote, it'll stop the problem... but the button won't work anymore, either to answer/hangup or play/pause. I use this solution ftm, even if I don't think it's good for the headset to have this clicking parasite, and I'm still waiting on a way to make everything work all the time.
Any ideas ?

No, i should, but I thought that all android phones were ctia now... I don't have my moto handless kit with me, but I'll try it with my gf's xperia sp to see if it works with it, since my bose headset works perfectly with the xperia.
Anyone knows if the moto g is ctia ?
Any other ideas ?

All Stereo Head phones normally use a 3 Pin Jack, Cell phones use a 4 pin, I found this out before with some other audio products..
I confirm all the informations about the problem and the workaround concerning a Moto X and the QC15 I just got. I hope a solution will be found. Does anybody tried that amazon product ?

I have a Droid Maxx and the QC15. The android inline remote & mic kit from Amazon have the same problem as the iphone cable that comes with the QC15 headphones. Quite annoying. Also, I can't get the workaround to work. No matter what I do, I only get sound from the left speaker.
I had a similar problem (no audio, weird noise in right ear) with Moto-G and QC15. The workaround that succeeded for me was to change the headphone gain from Hi to Lo. The gain switch is in the plug that connects the wire to the left earcup.
This supports the suggestion that the issue is caused by some impedance measurement routine on the phone.
