Has anyone else been having problems with the headphone Adapter not working with other headphones during calls? I tried using my AKG headset and I can hear the person but they can't hear me.

I don't usually use wired headset that much anymore. For testing, I tried another old 3.5mm headset that I have using the USB-C to 3.5mm adapter and I was able to hear sound and the mic works as well. So, it could be specific with the AKG headset you have. can you try other headphone to see if it works/

Just tested it out and it is the AKG earbuds. Not sure why they don't work. Thank you

I have 2 headphones both work fine for me....
Try cleaning up the headphones 3.5mm connector pin with rubbing alcohol,
There are 3 strips do those then try again.

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...

Is it possible to use the 3.5mm jack on the Nexus 5 as an input source for recording?
Like connecting it to a guitar.
Thanks in advance.
I don't know, but would be curious to know the answer.
Do you have a piece of hardware that you could test it with?

I believe the only way is via USB...but you have to use an app as Android does not build in USB recording as does Windows. I use this app along with a USB interface and a microphone on this phone and my tablet. Works great and the dev is a great guy. He also makes a DAW (there's a free version) for recording and editing.
that's... too bad then. thanks for info but.
btw, any suggestion for usb audio in? or usb mic? thx.
anyone? " _ "
I use a pair of wired ear buds that have a built in microphone for calls. I'm running CM11 not stock but I just tested and "Sound Recorder" is more than happy to receive its input via the headset jack. I would believe it's just a matter of finding the right converter plug for your guitar.

I have used ASR for recording, works fine over the headset jack. It is a mono source of course. It won't work with a standard 3.5mm plug of course, you have to have the signal on the microphone portion - which is ground (silence) for the standard plugs.
I used the adapter that came with Dragon Naturally Speaking. It has two 3.5mm stereo plugs to one 3.5mm stereo+mic plug. If you use a 3.5mm stereo cable into the mic side of this adapter it works fine.
You could probably rig up something from Radio Shack, but I didn't have to because this worked, and I don't need the adapter for my computer so it was just sitting in the cord box...
thanks to everyone who replied, truly.
it seems that there are 2 solutions...
1) usb sound w/dedicated app
2) cable that turns L/R input from TRS tip to M input on TRRS tip
the 3.5mm/trrs/(left/right/ground/mic) socket on the phone should work as tdcrone mentioned above. as long as a 3.5mm stereo+mic adapter available, or a custom cable that turns the original L or R input into M on the output end.
this is by far the simpler solution, **if such cable or adapter is available**, the caveat emptor is that the record will be mono, and there could be mic gain issues...?
otoh, the usb solution works, at the cost of having to get an adapter and apps for android costs.
@Vegasden: i see that both USB audio recorder pro and audio evolution mobile daw seem to work with usb recorder, and the latter one is just marginally more expensive?
edit: sorry, just realise that one also needs to buy usb audio recorder pro if she/he wants to use audio evolution mobile daw to do usb record
Is me again.
Do you think these will work? They claim to support iPhone only...

After trying numerous ROMs to get my low impedance headset to work, I finally found a hardware solution. By using this adapter,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/15ohm-added...P3_Player_Cables_Adapters&hash=item3f263c4ed1
I am using the adapter with a mono headset + mic that has 3 bands on the 2.5mm connector. There is another adapter for 3.5mm headphones.
I was able to raise the impedance of my headset and get rid of the distortion. There are many posts about this issue on XDA and not much discussion about it with the Vz S4.
thanks
Great. thanks so much
I am currently using my note 4 to listen to music on the way to and from work and while the earphones are good I have a pair I bought that are sports style and hook over the back of my ears which is useful for me as I ride a motorcycle to work with helmet and this stops them falling out when I put my helmet on however I'd love to be able to use the remote features of the in-line controls on the stock earphones. Is there such an attachment (cable) that I plug into the phone and then in turn can plug my earphones into that has this that can be used?

For some reason, I'm having trouble deciphering what you are looking for. I don't have stock headphones (I think only certain Note 4 models came with them... mine didn't), but I assume they're basic in-ear headphones. You also mention wanting to be able to use the controls on the headphones. But you can't currently? Is that right?
I just need to clarify what you need and I may be able to help. I'm constantly looking for accessories for my and my family's phones. Are you looking for an attachment to keep the headphones in your eyes with a helmet on, an extension cable between the headphones and the phone, a remote extension to control the phone with the headphones, or are you looking for a new set of headphones to meet your needs?

I have the stock earphones but i wondered if there was an accessory that has the media keys and microphone but let's me plug earphones into it. Like an adapter cable.
So exactly like you said. Not after new ones

Possible. I prefer wired myself as I don't have to make sure it's charged to use then. I've a habit of forgetting to charge things like that more often than not.
I had seen something that is what i'm after but for iPhone but I'm not 100% as to if it would work on the note 4
