Wave 3 headphone jack problem....

Since there is no general board or help board for Wave phones, im sorry that i have to post this here....
I just got a Wave 3 from this guy, and the phone is in perfect condition and everything....
But, if i connect my Sennheiser EARPHONES, or my Pioneer HEADPHONES, the phone COMPLETELY freezes. Display doesn't work, buttons dont work, i cant turn off the screen. Then everything returns to normal when i unplug them.
I have to plug them in and out 2,3 times sometimes in order for them to finally work.
Stock Samsung earphones dont have this problem, but they are awful and only one earpiece works.
On my previous android phones, i never had this problem.
Please help me, i use my phone primarily for music, and i like the bada music player a lot.
UPDATE:
I just found out that the STOCK earphones have 4 conductors, and my sennheiser earphones have 3 conductors
Could THIS BE the reason?
I added a picture.

try to flash to an other firmware or update via samsung kies.
maybe this is a bug in your rom...

How do i flash a bada rom? Is there a risk of bricking like Android?
I did a fw update via Kies yesterday, that did not fix the problem.

I didn't hear about someone who flashed his WAVE correctly and has problem..

Can you check do you have 4 conductor earphones? If you have 3 conductor earphones and you NEVER had this problem, then something is wrong with the phone.
Please check my picture for comparison

the freezing problem may be from software bugs.
If not, check your headphone jack input and aalso from other devices, check if something is different, also, its 2nd hand if i'm right? if so, it may be damaged, i dont know.

But dude, i tried 2 headphones/3 earphones:
Stock samsung 4-conductor earphones - no problems
Sennheiser 3-conductor earphones - freezing, 2-3 times plug in/out, works
Nokia 4-conductor earphones - no problems
Canyon 3-conductor headphones - freezing, 2-3 times plug in/out, works
Pioneer 3-conductor headphones - freezing, 2-3 times plug in/out, works
Ahh, i must sell them and get earphones with a microphone (4-conduct).....this is so stupid -_-

I don't know what to say... a friend of mine said that her sister had the same problem with her Wave 3.
I bought some 4-conductor earphones today, and they work good.

i have 2 of those 3 conductor (both skullcandy), and they work without freezing problems
ps: i use this kind of set (same model, just other color)
maybe its a problem with wave 3.
i use wave 1

In the end, its not really a problem, its just that wave 3 doesnt support 3-conductor very well. All 4-conductor ones work good. :good:

[Q] Hissing sound in earphones

I just received my G3 (the European 855 version) today and wanted to listen to some music from Google Play Music All Access. There is a terrible hiss/crackling sound, especially in the left ear and it's with earphones that (still) sounds fine on my old SGS3. I've tried with 3 different pairs of earphones and it's the same with all of them.
Does anybody else got problems with hissing/crackling sounds from the G3?

I solved this myself - the problem is "only" there if I'm using ART, after going back to Dalvik the problem is gone again.

Dont have this problem with my D855. Not with v10a or e. Used this phone with headphones/speakers about 8h/day since release.
Im using ART.

Switching back to Dalvik didn't solve it After a reboot the sound is fine but after a while the hiss starts, especially in the left ear. Nobody else got this problem? I'm on v10e with a D855 32GB
UPDATE: I just connected my Fiio and with that to amplify the sound the hiss goes away but as soon as I remove the Fiio the hiss is back again.

it's a problem.
But it depends what kind of earphones i use, with my sennheiser MOMENTUM it's perfect.

That seems to point to an impedance issue. It is not in every phone because I use very low impedance IEMs and do not hear it. I have also read reports of it just going away on its own.

This is a kitkat bug that was uncovered last year.

That doesn't explain why some G3 owners got the problem and others don't as we're all on 4.4.2

It's dependent upon the earphones you use.

Except that I have used a variety of different impedance earphones with mine and have never experienced any hiss. I think higher impedance can mask it if it is present but doesn't fix the root cause.

i dont have this problem..im using the earbuds that came with the s4

Hi, Is this problem solved in lolipop update?Thanks

I'm having this same problem with my D855 that I bought today.
It sounds like a loud hissing noise (like interference) and only seems to come out of the left ear piece, it's not noticeable when the music gets busy but during the quieter parts or where only one instrument is playing, it sounds horrible.
I've tried my Monster Turbine Pro Coppers and the bundled earphones, both produce the noise. It's also very apparent at different volume levels.
Updating from KitKat (4.4) to Lollipop (5..0) didn't help, as the problem is still there.
Looks like I'll be returning this phone already as I use my phone to listen to music a lot. It's a shame that such a fundamental problem should ruin what is otherwise a really nice phone. Ah well.

This problem has been discussed in many threads and i think its a software problem.
Reasons why i think it's not hardware relsted:
-The g2 has a similar issue but only after you patch kitkat on it.
-on my g3 and many others the hissing disapears after you make a call (with no headphones pluged in) until you reboot the system.
This simple bugfix works for me but it's a pain in the ass and i hope somebody finds a way to fix it for good
Ps.
Stock Lollipop and cm 12 both do have the problem

Mine sounds fine. No static.
Sent from my SM-T700 using XDA Free mobile app

It's not really static.... I don't know how to describe it but when people talk it sounds like they have a lisp

I had this problem when I tried the Motorola headphones on my Samsung.
Are you using the original Samsung headphones?
If so, make sure the jack is firmly plugged all the way in.

Im using my Sol Republic V10's. I was having the issue this week and last night and it wouldn't do it on my Note 1 or Note 3. This morning I plugged them in my tab and the problem was gone. I'm worried somethings wrong with the jack but I'm gonna swap my headphones out at best buy today and see what happens. It's seated in the jack real good by the way.

Sound is amazing. I own the Sony X Headphones (MDRX10)

Yup it must have been the connection. New headphones, no issues. Just need viper and life will be good!

3.5mm headphone jack issues

Hello I have a US TA-1045 version of the Nokia 6.1 that I am returning for a replacement. The reason is that my sound will cut out every single time I am using headphones through the 3.5mm plug. The only thing I can do to remedy the problem is removing the headphones and plugging them back in and resuming playback.
Has anybody had this problem? I am really hoping my replacement does not have this same issue.

I have this same issue with my Nokia 6.1 . Let me know how it goes.
Seems the plug is fussy

Two questions:
1. Have you tried a different pair of headphones?
2. Do you have a case on the phone?
If you are using inexpensive headphones the impedance could be less than expected and might cause a problem.
Some cases may not let the headphone plug seat completely in the jack.

This happens to me with the headphones that came with the phone, my other earbuds, and another aux cable.
Haven't had issues with these in other devices

I havnt used other headphones yet. But I dont have 'any' issues when I use the same headphones on several other devices. I do use a case but its small and I dont think it impedes with plug. I can try with the case off but Im sure it wont help. The way the sound goes out is not like it goes in and out. It just cuts out completely and the music keeps playing. Not through the headphones or the speaker, just nothing.
Anyways my replacement does the exact same thing. Im looking at hopefully getting a different phone.

It's Android not the phone from my experience, get a USB C adapter. Alternatively try turning off automatic USB audio routing in developer settings. (Didn't work for me on Oreo but apparently it used to work great in Nougat)This will probably be a slow bug fix as the 3.5 mm jack is dying out. I borrowed someone's pixel 2 xl adapter and it worked great so I ordered one along those lines in standards with reviews backing it up on Amazon.

After a little digging apparently it's a Spotify issue, not the phone which I'll keep after all. Mind showing me which adapter you got?

It happens with Play Music too but admittedly much less frequently. I literally wear my ear buds all day listening to music maybe I should try Pandora or something. Have you switched to any music apps that seem to work better? Which one or ones if so? My adapter won't be here till tomorrow but I'll give a full report if you would like me to.

No, I've only used Spotify so far. But the music cuts out so much I've cut down using it a lot. I would appreciate knowing how the adapter works though. I wouldn't want to buy one unless I knew for sure as I have limited income. Thanks

I used Pandora (paid version) regularly with my Nokia 6.1 (TA-1068), Oreo 8.1.
I have never had a problem using headphones. YMMV.

Does anyone have a link to the spotify / google play issue?
This issue is super annoying - especially because I usually do a lot of dirty work with my phone in my pocket and when the audio cuts out, my hands are too dirty to touch the phone

Link to what? Who knows if Nokia is even aware of the issue. It also happens with other music players unfortunately. I did see some mention of the problem on Nokia 6.1 official forums, but no mention of solutions. Still waiting to hear if a usb C adapter fixes the problem. But I doubt it as this seems to be a software issue.

Sorry for not getting back to you. I only had it for a day and lost it but I do not recommend the adapter. It would randomly have loud static that I did not have with the pixel 2 xl adapter I borrowed. However I have been using the jack and it seems to cut out less frequently now. I am probably going to just use Bluetooth from now on.

Ok thank you!

Ok I think I accidentally fixed the issue. It's caused by the setting option that allows you to raise your phone to your face and the screen comes on allowing you to see notifications. It's called "Lift to check your phone" option in settings. Turn this feature off. Haven't had the issue since.

Thanks - I just disabled "lift to check phone" and will see if i run into this problem again. That being said, I haven't noticed this problem since the July update but that may just be a coincidence and I have used heaphones less

Heavy static using aux cable

So I've been using my tablet in the car to watch Netflix and Amazon Prime videos during various appointments for my wife and kids. Has worked great with headphones, but figured it would be even better with my car's audio system. So I ordered a decent quality aux cable off Amazon, a 2-pack actually, but it doesn't work! I get really heavy static with the audio barely audible in the background. It also only plays out of the left channel. Tried the other cable with the same result. Plugged that cable into my Galaxy S9 and it worked perfectly.
I've searched around for the past half hour with no luck. Seems some fixed similar issues with other Samsung devices by turning on the UHQ upscaler, or by holding Vol+ while cycling the power, but neither worked for me.
Any thoughts?

Sounds like a faulty jack have you tried twisting the jack ? As sometimes that clears the static ? if not then you will need to get your Tab S4 replaced via Samsung!

I did rotate the plug, but it didn't resolve the issue. I don't think the jack is faulty, though, since headphones work perfectly. Thank you for your response, though.

interesting have you counted the rings on the headphone and your car aux jack ? Do they line up ??? Just a thought!

I haven't, but I actually have a 3-ring adapter. I'll give that a try, thanks for the idea!

I may be totally off but...
I have been using an MP3 player (Archos Jukebox Recorder) in my car for years. Recently I thought to go modern and downloaded some music on my Samsung A3 (2017) phone. Connected the cable... and all I got was a lot of static noise with hardly audible (and bearable) music.
Of course, the MP3 player using the same cable still plays ok. Anything plugged into the A3 also plays fine.
I haven't yet sorted out what could have been the problem but it sounds awfully like yours.

Sure does!

Cables make a huge difference getting a cheaper cable often out preforms the pricey one! (That's no joke) Disconnecting the FM/AM radio cable gets rid of the static (Here in the UK that has done trick in the past) Also can you try switching over the plugs on the back of your head unit right into left, and left into right. Vice versa see if that fix it ?

Switched the cable and the static seems gone... Strange that the Archos didn't have this problem. But I needed to increase the volume to a surprisingly high level[*] to get a decent sound.
[*] Radio plays on 15-20, CD 30-40, Archos 30-40, A3 way beyond 50.
