Were can I buy the head phones that originally came with the tablet. The pair I have seem to be acting up the Mic part doesn't work
I would imagine that Samsung would have them online, just go and shop the accessories for the Tab on their website. But if it is still within 30 days of buying the device, maybe contact Samsung and see if they will warranty replace the headset?
Just as an FYI, any 3.5mm headset with a mic should work. (I've used an iPhone headset with the older Samsung Galaxy Tab before.)

If I were you, I would just go to Samsung's website and just email them about them being defective. Odds are that they would give you a new pair for free. It can't hurt.

Look here
deal doesn't get much better than this. I ordered a pair after getting my tab because the deal was so good!
What do we need the mic for on the GT? Would just any old pair of ear buds be fine?

Probably things like Skype.
Are you sure the ear buds that come with the Tab have a microphone? I don't think they do, nor do I think the headphone jack is two-way.
This is either OEM or outright KIR fake, but it looks exactly like the original earpiece that came with the GT10.1 and dirt cheap.

Thank you both who posted the links but ibwill be going with the second links posted I really like the ones that came with the tab its good for video calling and when making phone calls
I have a pair of Nokia WH-701 headphones
nokia.co.in/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/headsets/wired-headsets/nokia-stereo-headset-wh-701
(removed "www" so that this would be a valid noob post and no this isn't spam )
And the buttons(volume,call,play/pause etc) on these headphones don't work on my GT-I5800..Is there any way(maybe an app?) to make them work with our phone???
Is this an issue only with these particular headphones or is this the same for all headphones?If it is so then it would be of great help if our devs could cook up an app to make these compatible with our phone
Thanks in advance
P.S.: This is my First post so please forgive me if its in the wrong place
I dont think the buttons will work .. its a wired headphone so the harware is not supported.. had it been a bluetooth one then it would have been possible..
Yep, it shouldnt be possible to use the buttons.
No, it shouldn't work. It can't.
First of all, android doesn't support previous/next/volume buttons, only single button with multiple press options (single/double/triple, slow and long press). HERE you can find remote functionality for all android music players and some non-android as well, using standard headphones with single action button.
Below there is a table called 'P Version Compatibility'. It lists all of the android phone models that are compatible with standard TRRS (4 pin) jack. As of standard jack I'm thinking about that one which is compatible with iPhone and most of the music players (pins as follows: T, R1, R2, S). There is no Galaxy 3 specified in that compatibility table, which means it has kind of proprietary port.
In this proprietary port the microphone and ground pins are reversed (pins as follows: T, R1, S, R2). Many Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones are equipped with it, so they are not compatible with standard headsets mic/button functionality.
To be able to use this additional functionality you have to use Samsung's headset bundled with i5800 or similar (as of headset jack) phone or use TRRS to TRSR adapter, like THIS one.
In this case buttons and mic are totally incompatible with android OS, despite the fact that both (phone and headset) have the same (propably) pins layout.
To sum it up:
- you can use mic/button in Galaxy 3 only with specific Samsung/Nokia/Sony headsets or using adapter.
- you can (try to) listen to music on 4 pin TRSR device using TRRS headset, but mic/button won't work, and sound most probably will be heavily distorted. And vice versa.
- you can listen to music without any problems using any 3 pin jack (no mic/button) in any 3 pin or 4 pin device.
- not sure about both of 4 pin jacks in 3 pin port.
For example Samsung Galaxy S had Samsung's proprietary port, Galaxy S2 has standard port. Life has just become easier
Hello guys
My original earphones were broken and I thought that it would be a good idea to try again samsung's but another model this time.So I went for galaxy's note earphones that I found at ebay which says that is fully compatible with i5800
The fact is that they don't work properly. Their sound is very "deep" and when you are listening music singer is inaudible.The weird thing is that if I press the button for accepting/ending calls the problem fixes.
At first I thought that if I did some kind of "patent" to keep the button pressed everything would be fine( I use earphones mainly for music and not for calls) but if I keep the button pressed when I insert the jack earphones are not detected.
Finally I contacted the seller who told me that the one that they sent me were broken and sent a replacement but those have also the same issue.
Has anyone else the same issue?Can I do anything to fix this problem or it is a matter of compatibility so nothing can be done?
It's all written in my post above. Galaxy S2, S3 and Note use standard headset jacks, while older devices, like ours, do not. You can use only special Samsung's (or other OEM) TRSR earphones, e.g. from i5800/i5801/i9000, to be able to use remote control button. Every headset without button will work as well.

Sorry mate don't get angry with me.I asked for further info because the name of earphones at ebay was "
GENUINE SAMSUNG WHITE STEREO HANDSFREE FOR i550 I5500 I5510 i560 I5700 I5800" but undoubtedly looks alike those of galaxy note.(forum don't let me post the link of the product)
So I was wondering whether it was a fixable problem or not
Cool, I'm a very calm person.
The seller most probably doesn't know about this issue, it's typical all over the world (sellers' lack of knowledge). That's what forums are for, since OEMs didn't want us to use headphones other than bundled ones in the first place (audio ports are much more unified nowadays, thankfully).
So the answer is: no, it's not fixable. The only way to use in-line button is to buy a specific headset that works properly with i5800 (bundled ones or other that are proven to be working with proprietary TRSR port).
Good luck.
Edit: Try EHS48ESOME.
ok then I have to go for the same ones that was provided with the phone although I wasn't satisfied with their quality.Sound was very good but I faced serious problems with the speaker and in order for the others to hear me I had to hold it near my mouth.
That was the reason why I decided to buy another model.Of course I didn't know that it wasn't compatible with my device
Anyway thank

I brought the AT&T version of the Glide and it didn't come with a wired headset. I've tried a headset for a Galaxy S, but the buttons didn't work. Could anyone with the Rogers headset ( I think it comes with one) share the model number, or if anyone else has a working let me know where I can source one?
Thanks!
I have the headset in my hand that you are mentioning but I do not see any model number anywhere to help you out. All I see is a Samsung logo on each ear piece as well as a Large L or R. On the Wire where it splits from 1 to 2 wires (1 for each ear) there is a small Made in China written on it. No other writing can be seen.
Damn, thanks anyway

I bought these Samsung earbuds and use them along with Jays Headset Control from the Play store. Thanks to the app the one answer button can handle all music controls and even initiate voice actions.
Here are some from Samsung:
http://www.shopandroid.com/samsung-ehs60-35mm-stereo-headset/11A29A9345.htm
Didn't tried them, but since they're said to be made for the Captivate Glide, they should work.
Finally got around to grabbing the HTC ones and they're working fine. Audio quality is half decent too.
Desire headset isn't working on calls for me. I hear fine but the other side says the sound is terrible.
Hope this helps
Samsung galaxy one and newer Samsung phones use two different 3.5 mm jack
The newer jack like on gs2&3 are more standards. The remote doesn't work because on gs1 it's wired different.
As of today
Samsung
Htc
Sony (not Sony Ericsson)
Use the same Standards 3.5mm jack
So of buy a htc ear headphone it work on all 3 companies
( i don't know about other companies)
The model no of the headset that comes with captivate glide rogers is GH59-10419E.
Any mention of headset in the glide manual talks about micro USB.
(Drowning in google search results, most of which don't apply [Why do they assume if you want an adapter you want a crappy / cheap earbud headset too?]. So posting here to start from a list of those who have a glide and specific experience!)
Messages here seem to indicate that standard 3 connector, 2.5mm cordless phone headsets work. Can anyone confirm?
(I tried a friend's 3.5mm headset, got audio, but only for media not for anything else, per playing with settings / audio. It also has an additional doohickey / adapter where the headphones plug into a mic adapter, which in turn plugs into the 3.5mm jack instead of the headphones, directly - when using that not even media came through.)
(And even when audio came through, the navigator voice didn't come through, as it did not on a bluetooth headset. I can't hear the navigator across the car - how to get it to play to a headset?)
Source of a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter known to work?
Or 2.5mm to micro usb adapter?
Let alone, pc headset, 2 x 3.5mm, to micro usb adapter?
Thanks for any pointers / good search terms to known good working beasties, drowning in search results.
I need yet another crappy headset like I need ... druther just use one I already know and like and adapt it to the glide.
I'm guessing an adapter would need buttons on it for talk (and / or volume?).
I see on amazon there's a straight micro usb to 3.5mm adapter however I suspect it would be audio only (yes?), and worried that since it's a solid doohickey, not two ends separated by wire, that some end would get easily broken.
Advice, thoughts, experiences?
Anyone know a cable converter that will work for the Galaxy S3 (like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-5mm-iPhon...e-Samsung-HTC-LG-/140574981373#ht_3686wt_1163)
I have Klipsch S4i headphones that have volume control for the iPhone only. I want to use these headphones with FUNCTIONAL volume control with the Galaxy S3.
If you find one, let me know. This is one of my major gripes with Samsung. I managed to get headphones working with my Samsung Galaxy S using a Nokia headphone remote control, but this doesn't work on the SIII.
Why can't they just use the same standard as everyone else.
Or possibly sell an adaptor, and educate their store staff - went to the popup Samsung store in Spitalfields Market (London) today and they had no idea what I was talking about. The sales assistant finally admitted that his headphones don't work with his S2 either. But was clueless as to how to help.
?!?!
this i would really like!
i`ve got a pair of beats headphones and they did not work at all with my first sgs
but now with the s3, the centre button works, answering calls, pausing and skipping tracks, and the mic also works, but the volume doesn`t...
Yeah the S4i also has a working center button but no functioning volume control (which is what I mostly use...don't really care about a mic)
The other adapter I looked at is called Fiio LU2 but I have not seen anyone specifically use it for the SG3.

still nothing?
Hey,

LU2 doesn't work
Hi there, I just bougth the fioo lu2 cable and it doesn't work with the s3. I'm sending it back to amazon. I have sony headphones and even for me everything works except the volume controls. With the lu2 connected, nothing works and the audio is all "push-pull" (I hope that is how you say that in english).
So don't buy it!

Yeah it's nice, but for 30$ I think I can buy a pair of headset as good as my Sony.
Btw,yesterday I try using them again and another thing I noticed is that even if the sound quality is waaaaay better with my Sony, the volume is much more lower than the included Samsing's. So it's not only a matter of the voulme button not working. And today I'm back with the Samsung's...

Yeah, I wont mind paying $30 to get my Pro's working properly with my sweet phone..
Hmm...the ones that come with the S3 have volume control. I hope some headphone manufacturers can reverse-engineer it. I think it has to do with how the parts of the jack are arranged. Because I know on the iPhone the ground part is switched.
Klipsch S4i Reference w/ Mic
I just tried using my Klipsch S4i Reference w/ Mic headphones and the center button + ear buds work but the volume and microphone do not work. I'd appreciate it if anyone discovers an adapter that converts iPhone headphones to work with the Samsung Galaxy S III. Anybody know why it is this way? I've compared the Samsung headphone jack to the Kilpsch ones and I don't see much of a difference...

well, I can change tracks in power amp with that button click option,not in the normal player. In that, the centre button plays/pauses the track.

10.00 adapter
For 10.00 you can buy the Meelec ADPTR-TRRS-35. I would post the link, but I cant because I'm a new user. If you just type it in to Google, it'll show up. Also, if you're good with soldering, you can buy the tips and solder them yourself. I bought gold plated and its lasted me years with my original galaxy.

Why does it say on the site ``This adapter will not enable the mic/volume buttons of a 3-button Apple compatible headset to work with non-Apple devices``?
I am toying with taking the buds off my iphone headphones ( i like the buds not the in ear stuff) and soldering them to the samsung cable... i know it might be sacrlidge to do so with more expensive headphones but... dangerous times... drastic measures and such.....
I have a rogers s3 rooted running CM 10 and the headphones NOW work. Function keys all working correctly So this was clearly a software limitation.

While I was in Samsung country last month (Seoul), I went to a few headphone/audio retail shops which let you test out almost ANY brand of headphones you'd like--and apparent this has been a big issue for Samsung users (since most volume control + mic headphones out there are built to work for and certified for use with Apple). One method they taught me (aside from rooting and hacking ROMs), was to download this app called "JAYS". This app will somehow allow the microphones to work on many brands (I use Sennheisers personally) whereas it would not work before due to the different in impedance. The app also creates shortcuts using the working center button, allowing short/long keypresses to do quite a lot (i.e. short press + long press will lower volume, double short press will skip tracks, etc) by turning the center button (which works on MOST headphoens) into a morse code-like button.
I have yet to find a ROM out there that allows my Sennheisers (MM80i, MM70i) to work with the volume buttons, but I've been happy with the JAYS app.
Hi
Do you have or know about an adapter of this characteristics that allow plug my custom headphones and keep the mic and central button function?
Im looking for use my bose IE2 headphones with my SGS2, but i dont wanna to lose the mic and button controls that have the geniune headset of galaxy S2, then i found this
http://dx.com/p/3-5mm-male-to-femal...one-volume-control-for-cell-phone-84cm-126278
and this
http://dx.com/p/simplism-3-5mm-male...-microphone-for-iphone-ipod-ipad-black-127001
When i plug my bose IE2 directly to the phone, all sounds great, but when i plug mi headphones to the adapter the sound is very very bad, only recover the true sound if i press the central button, and i just keep pressing the button to get the correct sound quality.
I hope not to be the one to have this type of need... ejejej :fingers-crossed:
Best regards
that would be a great acesorie, spetially if they make it with bluetooth support
Yes, but even without the Bluetooth support would be great to use custom headphones without losing the mic and the button.
I had one from "mobilnet" (very cheap) that worked (until I screwed cable after connector) ... iphone have switched last two pins (tip/ring/RING/SLEVE) - in original its left/right/mic/ground and in iphone its left/right/ground/mic so you get signal that go throught mic (I think - you can try to say something and it should change volume) ... if you short circuit with button it will play good ... open adapter and change last two cables (colors cant be for sure ) ... one should be connected to mic+r+l and one only to mic ... change them
(im trying to make adapter for this for two weaks at least but its hard to find 3.5 jack female)
in attachment is my mic control
(green + blue = left + right, yellow is sleve and red is for mic)
dont do that
The low quality of the DX products is just that, low quality. You can get such an adapter for the iPhone from more reputable brands, and while the volume buttons on a tri-button setup won't work, the middle one should. Alternatively you can make your own adapter by soldering a jack in place of the plugs on the mic/button cable you have. OR you can do what I used to do back in the iPhone 3GS days and open the Bose headphones and solder a new cable with mic directly to the speakers. If the IE2 are anything like the Bose IEMs I've done this to, it's not a hard thing to do.
Alternatively, there are Bluetooth adapters out there. The Jabra Clipper and the Nokia BH111 are two of the most interesting looking ones out there right now IMHO

edit: I was right - mic and gnd are changed ... your ground goes throught mic and so it have low power (cause mic works that way) ... if you press button you short mic and ground so it will work like intended

you can use extension cord (for 4pin 3.5 jack) with changed mic/gnd or solder it in adapter (that is the easy way - finding cable with 4pin female is hero mission if you cant access ebay)

you mean like the samsung hs3000? the official bluetooth stereo headset has support for custom 3.5mm headphones, an integrated microphone, play, skip forward, backward buttons, volume control, ptt, equalizer and a clip to attach it to your clothes. it has everything you guys want and has been available all along.
I was looking for something like this too, the only options I could find were really cheap ones for a couple of $ or ones over £15 with crappy reviews.
In the end I found this and bought it because it was a decent price and the same brand as my earphones (jays)
It comes with a single earphone you can plug into it, or you can use any other earphone.
I also installed the JAYS headset control app from the play store and you can customise the controls from there.
If I understand what you are actually looking for...it's the HTC HS U350 headset. You can use plug in your own earphones to it, and has a functional control button (one). Works well with the SGS2 and pretty cheap.

how is build quality though?
ive used the griffin one called ''smart talk'' but that lasts about 1-2 months everytime and costs about £15
ive tried the cheap chinese ones but the microphone quality is abysmal even if they do only cost £3
ive tried a genuine samsung one but that had the connections wrong and quality was terrible untill you pushed the function button then it become normal but you couldnt control anything with the function button
iam thinking the jays one or the htc one look pretty good
i like wired controls as they dont run out of battery like bluetooth headsets and dont drain battery like bluetooth headsets
i need a solid one though because iam fed up paying griffin £15 every 1-2 months and iam a posty so use my phone all day as a music player and the mail bag can cause strain on the wire across my chest

hi mate,
where you bought this? i cant find it on ebay or other local shops, how is its quality build?
Thanks
I bought it in a phone shop in Hungary, but as I can see, you can buy it on amazon as well.
For me, one of these lasts for about 9-12 months, though I use them every day, phone in my pocket etc.
For what it's worth I had 2 Samsung extension cables lying around for older phones, where it would work miracles, but on SGS2 it simply acts up like almost any of these (blame Samsung for changing things around and making them incopmatible in a year or so). I feed up and bought me Jay a-Jays One+ and never looked back. Good build quality and good sound, mic working as it should and apk is doing the rest for my preference and usage.

I don't think I can comment on the durability of the jays ones yet since I've only had them for just over a month (since the end of may) but I've used them almost daily since I bought them and have had no problems yet.
again, i can only recommend the original samsung hs3000. it offers the most features of the available stereo bluetooth headsets with phone capabilities, and at about 20 pounds, it is just as cheap as those lousy 3rd party aftermarket headsets but obviously is much better.
i have had it for about 7 or 8 months now and the battery life is still great. with 1 hour of music a day and another 1-2 hours of connected standby with the occasional call i can get through almost a week without recharging (if only the same thing were true with the phone itself ).

its a nice headset dont get me wrong ive owned two of them however the call button is huge and it always accidently calls someone for me because there is no lock on the call button and it is so easy to press by mistake , the amount of people i called by mistake was unreal
also the battery life isnt the best , about 6 hours mx music playback , bearing in mind i can work an 11 hour day , it wont even make it through a working day for me playing music all day (iam a posty and music all day is vital) so that means that iam then carrying around a bluetooth headset that has no battery and leaves me with a phone and headphones with no mic which is pretty useless for a handsfree situation
yu may love the samsung bluetooth adapter and thats great but for me it wasnt what i want/need and was pretty much useless for me if it cant even make it through the working day and that call button is huge and right on the front where it can easily be pressed
so yep its a nice bluetooth headset if thats what you need but i think the o/p and people like me no it exsists , dont like it or it doesnt fit our needs and we want a wired adapter so we can use our own headphones yet control our music and speak through them as well iam sure if we wanted a bluetooth headset then the thread title would be different dude
have nice evening and thanks for the suggestion again but its just not what we are after
ah, ok. i didn't know you already had it. i thought my previous post was overread and i thought to suggest it again
you are right, the big call button and some other minor things might not be for everyone. although, if battery life was that bad for you, i would suggest plugging the original headset with microphone in the hs3000, so you'd have bluetooth as long as it lasts and still having a 2nd option. without carrying 2 separate sets of earphones.
however, it is too late now apparently.
