Hello everyone,
I have noticed an issue with my s3 and thought I'd ask around. I tried connecting my phone with my cars stereo using an aux cable but every time I do that the sounds comes through the phones speakers. Plugging the cable in and out once gets the sound through the car but it again stops if I change the song or if I receive a notification even.
It doesn't seem to be an isolated instance since i saw another person face the exact same problem on another forum. I'm thinking that maybe my 2 contact aux cables might be to blame here, but really don't wanna buy a third one before getting some input. I also guess it can equally be a software or even a hardware issue.
So has anyone else noticed this?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
i plug in to my car's aux jack all the time while using pandora and have had no problems.
what type of 3.5mm audio jack are you using, the really thick ones, or the thin ones? thick ones cause problems sometimes by not getting full contact(as the base is too big), had this issue with a new car stereo and my old g2.
basically, this is the one that's too thick, especially for aftermarket stereos:

To be honest the ones that i have ( both of them actually) appear to be too thick as compared to the OEM headphone's pin. Was the problem that you were facing similar to the one I am now i.e. sound starts playing sometimes and stops when u change the track ?
I have the same problem. Let me guess... you have to plug it in and out to make a call with earphones too?

Hey Zza1989, thanks for the reply. I havent made that many calls using the earphone, but when i tried it now it seemed to work ok. However the S3 seems to have a tough time detecting my cars stereo when plugged into it.
If you're facing the same issue with the aux, can i please know what car you are using it with. I replied on another forum where someone was facing the same issue and it turned out that we were both using the phones with Saab's. What about you ?

I'm actually using an aftermarket stereo by Sony. But I still get the same problem. I doubt it has anything to do with the car as the sane thing happens to me with my skull candy earphones ad well as my car stereo with aux connection. Only with the stock Samsung earphones provided with the phone does it work properly. And even then it's a little sketchy sometimes.

Ohh... So if you're facing issues with other headphones it might even be a hardware issue I guess. I think I'll send an email to Samsung support team and see if they respond or not :s
Kinda sucks for such an awesome phone !!

that's not the issue i had. the issue i had was that the sound was VERY distorted and low, but trying a smaller cable worked. try a smaller cable. they cost like 99 cents on monoprice, or amazon

Agreed. That's the only semi-major issue I've had with the phone so far. I hate to think what's going to happen when my earphones start to fail (I them extensively). I'll just have to buy new OEM earphones.
I would like to hear what kind of response you get for that email.

Hi,
I used to use a Nokia 5310. With it, I could take a call by pressing any button, listenlng via headset and talking to phone's mic, while I was listening to music. Once I hang up the call, the music resumes. All this was done with 5310 phone and a normal 3.5mm headset (without any mic in its line).
Now with SSGS, when I was listening to music via a headset and taking a call with the headset plugged in, voice on the line wouldn't come through the headset. Instead, I had to remove the earpiece and talk to the phone as if the headset wasn't there.
It seems good prople here are able to play with alsa, and I think audio redirecting might be possible.
Could someone point me to the right direction?

I was just thinking about this the other day. I was in town listening to music and a call came through. It would be nice not having to faff around taking out the earphones to answer a call.

Same here, I would love to have this feature, makes the phone that much more useful and 'smart'

In this case galaxy isnt a "smart"phone its from stoneage, have never hade a phone that behave like this..Is it a huge bug in Android?? or maybe the engineers in samsung need a brain transplant.
I'd like to be able to use the cassette adapter in my car for music and hands free

I too would like to see a fix for this problem.
In the meantime I use my old Nokia hands free adapter with an inline mic and a 3.5mm headphone jack inside the car / when using my own headphones

I'm sharing the same dilemma. dunno if there is a software fix for this. I've read a few threads mentioning that Samsung had the mic rigged differently to enable video output thru the 3.5mm jack.
Same problem here. Looking for a solution.

Haven't got this phone yet but are you saying when the wired headset is plugged into the Galaxy S phone you cannot take a call through the headset?
I currently use a Nokia with a headset same as PhoenixFx pic, I listen to music > call comes in > hit inline remote and take call > finish call by hitting inline remote > goes back to music.....
Don't tell me this cant be done????

This is true, and I cannot begin to tell you how pissed I was to discover my Skullcandy headset neither works as headphones or as a headset. IIRC one of the speaker pins and the mic pin are the other way round on the SGS so its not compatible with normal 3-pole 3.5 jacks.
Instead of getting new headphones, I'm going to run with a Jabra BT stereo thing that lets you plug your own headset in. I love my earbuds, and I'm damned if samsung is going to stop me using them, particularly when they don't even have a non-stock set of headphones on sale themselves.
I doubt that this is the cause of the headphones/phonecall thing tho. I guess they just didn't even think of it when they were coding. I don't see why this is impossible, and especially with stuff like Cyanogen just over the horizon, could see it soon.

You can use one of the Nokia hands free adapters like I do (if you want a cheaper solution then get a 3rd party Nokia compatible one from eBay), however you won't be able to plugin your own mic, but at least the in line mic and your own headphones will work. Built in mic of the Nokia HS-45 is pretty sensitive and can be used even from a distance (especially handy inside a car)
I have no idea why Samsung didn't give the option of using the built in mic of the phone with a headset, or at least provide their bundled headset with a detachable earphone cable like Nokia does.
@Lostalone:
I Just managed to buy a samsung jack adaptor today. Samsung does sell one here in singapore. You can plug any third party headphones with the mic adapter. Works like a charm.

My Captivate worked fine but using the same headset on my Bell Vibrant does not work on calls. Where can I find said adaptor or is there a specific headset for the Bell Vibrant/Galaxy S international that works?
It should not be hard if we can see/edit the source of the phone app and recompile it.
I will be looking for the source and how to recompile.
I am aware that using a nokia adapter solved the problem. I am using one myself. Though, There are still Times when such adapter is not suitable, such as jogging.

Hey guys, I've searched extensively for this but I really need a mod/app/kernel / rom that will allow phone call audio out on the original samsung car dock. Music works fine and it's loud and clear on car stereo but phone calls just get routed to phones own loudspeaker.
The Dock plugs into phone via micro usb then you plug in a 3.5mm headphone jack and separate charging cable into the dock itself
Any help would be really appreciated!

A mechanical alternative might be to get an audio jack splitter and a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, then plug that into the top of the phone and the other end into the splitter, which then goes into the dock with the one spare female jack being for a cable to the car audio input. No clue if that will work though, but in theory...

That's a good idea but liked the fact the dock is pretty hassle free. Just pop the phone in and everything is connected. Anyone have any other solutions or links to custom ROMs that have sorted this issue?

An audio splitter splits the audio, it does not combine it. What you want is a mixer, which is a different product (and usually much more expensive). A mixer is designed to attenuate the signal from the two inputs so that the combined output doesn't overload the speakers.
So in theory, it would not work. But in practice you might be able to get away with it as long as you don't try to use both phone outputs at the same time. But if you care about the speakers on your car, I wouldn't risk it.
To the OP, I think the phone will send both music and calls over Bluetooth, so you might look into a Bluetooth adapter for your car as a possible solution. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Britelink-Bluetooth-Audio-Receiver-Portable/dp/B0059M4G9K
Thanks for the advice!

I know what you mean, but I don't think adding dual inputs to the line-in would in any way affect the actual speakers. I've used this method on various gear before and the result varies. Sometimes they mix fine, sometimes one signals essentially mutes the other.
A simple solution guaranteed to work however is to make a splitter that has a switch. More cumbersome, but it would allow you to manually switch from one input to the other when a call comes in.
surely it would be a quick coding hack to a ROM which would allow phone audio to be routed through the dock, after all that is what happens to music and GPS instructions... so why not phone audio!?

Hi all,
Some of you know, that new Sony Xperia (2012) line phones use CTIA 3.5mm standard (basically same as Apple's iPhone). I have seen some phone reviews and noticed, that standard headset is in one piece, you cannot disconnect headphones. I am looking for headset, where you can unplug headphones and connect better ones, and of course it has to work with new Xperia S.
Something like we had with Xperia X10:

Difference between CTIA (Xperia S) and OMTP standard:

You realize the mw600 won't work right on the xperia s if you just plug it in?
Sony changed the headset standard, to be compatible with the more widely used ctia standard (same as iphone). The pins are connected differently:
You can offcourse buy an adapter cable so that it will work.

you cant plug the MW600 into anything, its a stand alone bluetooth device that you can plug your headphones into. Unless you mean the headphones that might come with the Xperia, which I never use anyways.

Yea, it's a really nice little gadget I highly recommend it if you don't like all the wires. I always have my phone in my pocket or in a case on my side, because I am horrible with dropping phones.
I was on the Sony site looking at the new BT device, and apparently it has a seperate SD card for music and such, which could be big downside to owning that device if you are like me, and keeps a rather large music collection on your phone. With the small LED it would also make it a bit hard to dig through your music collection :/
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/smart-wireless-headset-pro/specifications/
Or it can go the other way....
Putting all the music to the BT devices SD storage would free up the space on the Xperia S :/ though with that space it's not really necessary to hold back...
meh, I dunno, I will see where this goes...It's over a week til I get even the phone anyways (I need to send in for the BT device apparently) we'll see from there how it goes.
I think the new headset can play music from the phone as well. And besides that it can act as a stand-alone mp3 player with the music on the headset itself.
So you could actually stick some extra music on the headset, it can take up to 32gb sd cards (a 2gb card is in the box).

sony xperia s......
I emailed Sony, hopefully they have a reasonable explanation. Cause if they don't know why I am going to be pissed.
"oh yes it is the standard 3.5mm jack" then they whisper "only works with some headsets", FAIL.
Have any of you compared the included headphones plug with one of the non working ones to see if they look similar or not?
I'm starting to get worried and thinking of canceling my preorder that is supposed to ship tomorrow...
Edit: Although after rethinking my question, that won't make a difference, both standards look similar... Hmm, I don't like the idea of having headaches when using different headsets...
They look the same. I had a buddy with a SGSII and his Samsung headphones work in the S AND he can use the sennheisers. Lame.
Headsets
HK being the crazy place that it is has a whole bunch of the headphones shops in the computer center, so I went around trying out a whole bunch of the headsets to see which ones work (HMV also does this too).
My testing included playing music and making phone calls and seeing if the button on the headset works.
Not an exhaustive list:
Sennheisers/Adidas are out (sucks cuz I want a pair of running ones)
Sony's are out (friggin' annoying)
Most that are iphone compatible are out
Jays One+ work (These are specific for Android) I got this pair
Marshall Minor FX work - I should have got this pair
I'm using the AT&T Galaxy SIII Pebble Blue 16 GB.
I searched high and low for a thread about this issue but I haven't seen one. Hopefully someone will embarrass me and bring one to light!
Maybe its just the make of my car (08 Saab 9-3 but the head unit is pretty standard across a few GM products), but getting car audio (Using Aux in) to work in this car is very flaky and unreliable. If I plug both ends in directly and try to play the "Earphones connected" message never pops up. The moment i remove the cable from the head unit the ear phones connected pops up. Plug it back in to the car, it goes away and still no audio.
The work around is very annoying. I have the unplug it from the car and press play on Spotify, then plug it in hoping that it will work. It does sometimes... but after I get it plugged in if I receive a text or phone call it will immediately cut out the audio from the car and replace it with a periodic crackling sound. My old iPhone, iPod touch, and Galaxy SII do not have this problem. My friends brand new Galaxy SIII is having the exact same issue.
If ANYONE knows of this issue any help you can provide will be much appreciated.

yours=first, mine=second (and my display looks exactly like yours)
But, mine does do one thing that really bothers me... as soon as I plug in the aux cable it automatically starts playing stuff (I think it's whatever the last thing I was playing). I'm not sure if this just happens in my car or in other places too. I just plugged in some headphones at my desk and it didn't do anything so I'm thinking it's the car. I'd ask if you have experienced this too, but it sounds like your problem would supersede mine.
(It also doesn't stop playing when I unplug the cable, which is really annoying, but that one I know is a TouchWiz thing. The problem I explained above I can't tell yet whether it's a TouchWiz "feature" or some sort of weird bug)
You'd be right..
I can "trick" it to work... which involves plugging the jack into the phone pressing play on Spotify then plugging it into the aux in on my car and it will work. Any stop in music playing (Like the end of a playlist) will disconnect it and any text or anything of that nature will too..
Its so annoying...
I have an '07 9-3 and have the same exact issue.Streaming music in my car is one of the main uses of my phone and the fact I cannot is a huge annoyance.
My thought on a way to "fix" this problem was to create a widget (perhaps using something like AnyCut) that switched the phone into earphones mode. The change into earphone mode is obviously normally done by a physical action (plugging something into the jack) but I was hoping there might be a manual way to do it. However my knowledge on the matter is very limited. My phone is rooted and I was searching databases using SQLite Editor for a variable to change to put it in earphones mode but was unable to find one. Does anyone know if this is even a viable way to do it and if so how to implement such an action?
Cheers,
Celtic Browncoat
I also have an 08 saab 9-3 and am having the same problem. It figures that the problem would only exist with a saab
Not sure if everyone has come up with a solution, but in my 2007 9-5, I found that grabbing an inline volume control from Radioshack fixed the issue. I plugged it in on the phone side and everything works as it did with my old Droid X.

Hey! I stumbled across this old post a few days ago, as I was looking for a solution to the exact same issue with my 2010 9-3/Samsung Galaxy S4. The inline volume control cable ($10 from RadioShack) fixed the issue for me as well. Thanks!
Guys,
i really do like my G3 and i think some specs/functions are superior to other phones (camera, display), but i was wondering why people are happy and satisfied with the g3 knowing that most devices have the Headphone/Aux Jack Output issue. (i tested 3, all had the issue).
It seems like the G3 can't handle all cables with a 2-line 3,5mm jack. However, 3-line cables work fine (headsets, or a 3-line adapter such as this:

So, since this has to be a impendance issue, it is pretty much a hardware thinf and can't be fixed with a software update.
To me, this is a deal-breaker. I don't want to carry the adapter all the time and i don't think i should just accept the fact that a 600dollar flagship phone has such a hardware bug!
Your thoughts?
best
Happy? Well, in fact im happy with LG G3 but not very much... In fact is a beautiful phone, using v10N and got no issues... I mean, if i dont count with jack issue and instable network reception... Question LG Portugal and they say that never heard that issues and to go to warranty. I would do that but realize that many others users complain about that even after warranty so i'm not the only one. And in my carrier still have v10A and have to flash v10A again, go to warranty and then root and flash N version again (and install all too) and, just other users, keep the jack and network problems... Overall im happy but could be better.
I have never had a problem with the jack, ive used 4-5 pairs of headphones some cheap 3.5 mm aux cables and yesterday i got some Audio Tecnica ATH-M50s, all ove them have worked without any problems at all, not sure if its hardware or software.
This makes me want to cry.........or throw this piece of crap out my window driving 70mph
LG says this is a know bug and to use an audio cable with over 1ohm of resistance...
OK LG, so what your saying is that every time I want to listen to my phone in my, or my friends car, im supposed to say, hey buddy, can I listen to my phone? All i need to do is just pull your dash apart, pull your stereo out and plug this BULL**** aux cable in...
NO.
Every few weeks i post a hatefull message on lg facebook wall, im loading lg live chat right now. I cannot believe this is still an issue. WHen i bought this phone i found out the issue but was not to alarmed as the phone had just been released and i figured in a few weeks this would be fixed. Now a half year later and we are still putting up with this ****.
I also regret buying this thing after knowing that it has this hardware bug. But I can't do anything about that. For now, I'm using SoundAbout app and set it to "Headphone" since I almost never listen music using the phone's speaker.
Live chat was just another big waste of time. Explained the issue, said they have 1 year warranty, said they can take the phone, diagnose and repair, I said i wasnt going to send my phone in for 2 weeks for them to not resolve the issue. He said it may take some time to figure out this bug, bla bla bla. What a joke.
My girlfriend doesn't have this problem on her phone and it's only sporadic with mine. Thought maybe it had to due with the cracks that form naturally.

LG G3 and Bose incompatibility
I have a similar issue. I use BOSE QC20 with my LG G3. Whenever i plug is in , it always shows the auxiliary profile and people cannot hear me . Anyone else having this issue?
Thank you

Same here. Working fine on all my headphones, 3 different 3.5mm jacks in 2 cars and work truck.
The only issue I do have is when making a call for the first time after connection, the other party can not hear me.
Simple fix to this was to connect phone to 3.5mm jack, make the call and whilst waiting for answer, press loudspeaker button on then off. Then calls are crystal clear both ends until phone is disconnected from jack.
This leads me to believe that my issue is at least software related.
Out of my last 4 phones - gs3, HTC one and Xperia z, I have to say the g3 sounds the best of all, stock for stock.

I have the same problem with my shure inears and with my sony headphones.
I think the best solution would be if you could manually choose what device you plugged in.
It would work similar to the choose an app to open something dialog and would open everytime you plug something in, then you could choose between headphones, headset and aux.
I know this is an old post but what issue is everyone talking about? I plug my phone into 2 different vehicles and 3 different speaker systems all through the 3.5mm jack in my home daily. I have yet to have any issue when doing this and have been with the G3 since Oct 2014
It was a software issue and has since been fixed. You could plug a cord into your phone and it would keep playing through the phones speaker. it was the most aggrivating thing ever.
If you don't mind...could you direct me to a thread or post that mentions this software fix? My D851 T-Mobile variant still has this issue.
