Plug headphones into XPERIA and I get 20+ radio stations in good qulaity; plug headphones into Omnia 7 and I get static, with the occasional hint of sound if I move the wire around. It's very occasional and very quiet though.
Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks
EDIT: Oh, it works with the included headphones but not with my own ones, even though the XPERIA works with any and all.

Does anyone know why this is? Apparently this is the case with a number of recent Samsung handsets. IS it to do with the connector or the wire(s)? If it's the connector then it should be possible to make an adapter.
Thanks
it's working fine for me
i'm using sennheiser cx400 II
are you plugging the headphones in firmly?

Ya first time i plugged in, it was low, staticy as i didn't push and "click" hard enough so to say, check if anything is blocking the jack. it's a dam snug fit to say the least.

Is there a way?
I find it annoying that I can't use the speaker to do this...don't want to carrry around headphones all the time!
Get some old headphones/earphones that you would never use again.
Chop off the connector, and just leave that part plugged in.
That should be enough to trick the X1... but I dont know how your radio reception will be lol.
There's a good reason why you have to have headphones for the radio to work...
reception is **** enough without taking its ariel away!!

Any cable with an earphone plug on the end like a 'line-in' works fine and gives an equal reception to earphones.
hi,
I have been using a Nokia phone with a 3.5 mm audio jack to connect it to my aux-in of the car and listen to music as well as make or take calls. The phone mic picks my voice quite well and I hear back the calling party through the car speakers.
Does the same work with HTC Touch HD too?
Update: I have connected the HTC Touch HD to my car's Aux in and it works well with the THD's mic picking up my voice easily. I had echo on a couple of calls but would like to check for its recurrence to believe that's some problem with unit or with the connectivity.
Afraid not mate.
When you plug something in the earphone socket, it assumes there's a mic plugged in too, like when you plug in a hands-free kit.
I've got exactly the same setup and didn't click what the problem was the first time I took a call. I just sat there like a pratt, shouting "HELLO" at my phone! lol
There may be a software workround for this, but not that I'm aware of.
I use the same approach.. but currently even though I am using a Belkin cable to a pretty neat deck.. the sound is completely off.. Treble is too high.. and My faithful kenwoods which would handle the full Volume of my N95-2 with ease are now cracking up.
Any ideas??

Ideally, you should have the phone volume at about 75% of its max (between the phone volume itself, and the volume on the music player application), and control overall volume from the deck. If it still sounds dodgy after that, mess about with the equalizer on whatever player you're using, or the htc audio booster.
If anything, mine's a little quiet, but I've not tried messing with output volume settings in Tweak HD. I tend to have to have my deck turned up about 70-80%, whereas I normally have the radio at about 20-30%.

Asking this question to all. Is anyone aware of any software to use HTC Touch HD mic while using a 3.5 mm headphones through its audio jack.
not both speakers and mic are off when in headset mode
it's a hardware thing
but like with htc headsets you can connect external speakers and mic to the conntors and it works
easy way is to tear the headset apart and solver in the stuff you want to the connector which came with the headset

Mine works fine setup like this. I've got a 3.5m jack coming out and going into the back of my headunit. I can make calls without a problem. The phone seems to realise the connected jack doesn't have a mic so uses the internal one.
The first time I tried it though the person at the other end couldn't hear me but finally worked out this was because the cradle I was using was blocking the mic on the bottom of the phone! I quick readjustment of the cradle and everything was fine.
Sound quality when playing tunes has always been fine but the voice quality aint that great, the person at the other end sometime complains about echo.

Hmm.... I'll have to have a play with that then, as it was a total failure for me previously. I definitely didn't have the mic blocked, as my cradle holds the phone by the sides.
Cheers for that - I'll have a play about.
How about something like this?
http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Audio-3.5-mm-Adapter-with-Microphone-for-iPhone/3440143/product.html?cid=133635
(iPhone example but googling "3.5mm microphone output" finds you more, all about £3)
"How about something like this?"
there is not standart for how 3.5mm jacks with mics work as in the width of the ring and such
doubt very very very much that iphone converter would work with anything but an iphone
Thats a good idea. I havent tried this myself but its not experience that the hadware needs an attached mic when plugging the 3.5mm into speakers. I use high quality headphones with no attatched mic to listen to music on the HD and can take calls via the phone or skype by using the headphones and the phone mic.

Same setup as me for the last 12 months. I have to play around with the volume setting on the HU / HD all the time - its not ideal but the internal mic seems to pick up voice fine (and echo!).
Here's another problem I found, the standard inline earphones with mic and single button doesn't work.. it worked just fine on my Desire HD and nexus S as well as nexus one..
I tried 2 different ones, my guess is that the Atrix headphone jack only has audio out.
if you guys have found otherwise let me know how I can get that to work..
if in fact the Atrix is only audio out on the headphone jack I'll definitely return it tomorrow and get something else..
I just grabbed an iPhone headset (stereo) and made a call and it worked great.
I'm having this same problem. I used a pair of SkullCandy 50/50 and only got audio. The mic was still working on the phone, and the buttons on the headphones didn't do anything.
I have ibeats headset, everything works on DesireHD and my iphone. but for some reason none of it works on the Atrix.. beh..
I dug out an old pair of headphones that came with a Palm Pre, and the mic works on that. The button also brings up a menu to start a voice program. They do not have volume buttons so I cannot test that.
This is really going to annoy me if this phone can only use crappy headsets.

Was this a standard one that comes with the iPhone? Do the volume buttons do anything?
Skullcandy FMJ w/mic
I have the skullcandy full metal jacket w/mic and it works fine. Although when I first inserted the jack into the plug (*beavis laugh) the phone still played music out of the speaker(s) on the phone. So I pulled the plug out and reinserted while twisting the plug. Dont push too hard cuz it seems the plug does not go all the way in. The curve on the case near the jack makes it appear that it is not fully inserted. Try cleaning your plug as well.
Both headphones i tried stick out of the phone a little bit, and the same amount. Plus audio works on both, I would think that audio would not work if one was not plugged in correctly

Just tested and the volume buttons don't do a thing.
I tried "removing" vlingo and voice commands/search, but still can't use the remote button on my headphones.
might have bad jack
The jack might be broken or not connected well. It is a modular piece that can be removed without de-soldering if you take the phone apart you can test each ring on the plug/jack for continuity by touching the meter to the springy metal contacts that touch the circuit board. I would just do a return or atleast have att try other headphones. Im not sure about the volume control but the single button on my mic controls everything including media forward reverse and pause. I can even get vlingo and google voice search to come up ( a long press on the other hand opens the media application).
Old thread... but for future reference, Motorola switched the headset pinout on this phone and the Xoom. You'll have to ask the Cliq guys what they use, or you could wire a adapter cable up.
I can't post links, but look up the Motorola OH20 and motorola.com /Support/CA-EN/OMTP-Headset-Support
Wow, that is kinda retarded that moto did that. I'd never even heard of OMTP until just now. Seems MOTO is the only one that does this. Some 'open' standard. Seems the only way around it would be to use a B headset.
Wired Headsets Don't work due to OMTP
Well...
I am a huge fan of Bluetooth technology and have just about every kind of handsfree, however I was really looking forward to the 3.5 mm jack. There are some pretty impressive headsets available.
This is what I found about OMTP:

This isn't the problem. I have a xoom and the same headset can play/pause.
So, no solutions to this except for spending another 50 bucks to buy a new head set that's omtp compatible?
I have a set of ear buds rat came with a blackberry bold from work. It only has a single button but it does do play/pause in winamp and the mix works. There is a post in the accessories section with some options and reports of ways working for everyone.

Hey,
I bought the Bose MIE Headset (I think not the MIE2) and there's a problem with the galaxy s.
You get only a good sound when you push the Microphone button. -.-
After a lot of Threads i found out that the Pin allocation isn't similar to the one of the Galaxy S ...
The Bose Headphone has on the 3rd Pin "Ground" and on the 4th "Mic"
The Samsung Headset / Galaxy S Mobile Phone has on the 3rd "mic" and on the 4th "ground"
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem? Or is it already solved?
Thanks for your help
Adjust the pin such that you get clear sound.

You can buy or make a short adapter lead which swaps the pins. (socket>lead>plug)
Or you can do some soldering on the headphone plug/lead (which is more permanent change to the headphones)
Or some people simply tape closed the button.
Which of these is best for you depends on personal preference...
Just realized that I've got the same problem. But I've got the MIE2 with an adapter, and it does the same as pressing the button. Now it's louder, but not really clearer .
Due to the Galaxy S using the 3.5mm jack for TV out it's really finicky with headphones. It's seemingly random also, my Sennheiser 280 Pros works great, but most headphones won't, my girlfriends earbuds will work but my sisters' wont.
A fix would be cool.

You could try turning tv output to off.
Look in: settings > display.
I've heard others say it improves things. Therefore I always leave mine set to tv output off (except when connecting to a tv!).
I've never tested the sound quality as a direct comparison with tv output set on and off though, but could be worth a try.

Clean the port ( compressed air, something not too abrasive)
Check audio output on whatever program you're using ie: Dolby, viper etc
Reboot
Re install ROM (clean) don't restore any settings to the fresh install.
Check firmware

Having the same problem with mine. I am using Xiaomi piston 2 headphones and sound plays out of the speaker and not the headphones.

Problem solved..your device does not like those headphones.. Could be the jack of your headphones or the amount of sections on the 3.5mm jack. Either way it looks like its not going to play.
I have same issue with my Piston2 as well. I noticed if you either put it in VERY slowly, and or a button when pressing in. The audio will work (but the buttons on the Piston2 still malfunction)

Try using the headphones with another phone or computer? Just to make sure nothing is wrong with the cans themselves.
