Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a replacement headset for the SGS (the bundled one's sound doesn't cut it for me), but after having tried a couple (Ety HF2, etc) I noticed that, while they work fine for media playback, none of them work as a handsfree solution, ie the sound of a phonecall doesn't pass through when they're connected.

Anyone tried a good pair of handsfree earphones that work?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] chriszzz:
headsets that work for Nokia N97 ( and similar ) would work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] tdx:
Thanks.

Have you tried any specific earphone? I tried some made for Iphone and they weren't working so I want to make sure before i buy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] chriszzz:
I bought a nameless one off ebay, advertised for Nokia 3.5mm jacks.

yeah, the iPhone and HTC ones do not work, which surprised and annoyed me because I have 4 or 5 iPhone headsets and adaptors which I was using with my HTC BlackStone/HD.

Then I found out that the 2 sections of the pin nearest the sleeve are wired in reversed ( iPhone/HTC earphones are wired left, right, ground, mic, whereas Nokia/Samsung earphones are wired left, right, mic, ground). The ground and mic are reversed. Very annoying.

i had to switch the cable for the triplefi10 form vi to stock cos the vi cable is iphone compatible so the ground and mic terminals are reversed.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Robin.B:
This sounds like a good solution, but doesn't it make the cable incredibly long so you can't use it while walking?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] furstrated:
yup the cables are a problem. Im in the process of making a diy cable for my triplefi10. planning of making it only up to the y-junction and terminate there with a 3.5 plug so its short. Good thing about the triplefi10 is you can replace the cable. I havent received the plug connectors i ordered yet so im still waiting. I used the cable of the nokia headset that came with the adaptor for the 5310xpressmusic. I cracked the earpieces and desoldered the cable. now all i have to do is attach the plug connectors once they arrive
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dizzle118:
Could someone clarify whether this Nokia AD57 does work WITHOUT any modifactions? I assume the modifactions you made were for the earphones?

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_...13&_nkw=nokia+ad57+&_sacat=See-All-Categories

So AD57 with standard earphones work fine?

Sony Ericsson Headsets do work with this phone

I do have an old headset from my previous Xperia X10 which was stolen...

the headset works perfectly with samsung Galaxy S, even the mic can be used for communicating...

its a perfect match
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] furstrated:
yes i can confirm the remote adaptor works (ad57)

the nokia remote adaptors with multiple buttons for music remote doesnt work (ad54 and others with forward reverse buttons) which is a pity i think, considering that the player on the SGS is one o the best players on any device anywhere, i think. I aredy mailed samsung development about remote control support for the player and they acknowledged the suggestion
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
using a good A2DP capable Bluetooth Headset will give you that ability out of the box right now as i'm using it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lgkahn:
Yes and kill your battery twice as fast... Bluetooth sucks up power. Especially when cold like skiing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
wired headsets doesn't work for me, it always end up dead, broken, the worst is when it breaks at the phone side,

i can care less if the headset itself breaks.

is horrible to use wired headsets in a busy subway/bus

when -skiing- skateboarding i always use my motorola HT820 it's warm, doesn't fall off, and is extremely convenient

it goes perfectly with the goggles and headband/hat

I've just ordered this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350335571399&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I'll feedback my results once its arrived.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Will.1:
NOOOOO that's an absolute must have for me.

Can u send me the samsung dev info i'll do the same (do they tend to acknowledge everything or can we reasonably assume they'll think about it?)

Is it possible to develop a driver for the remotes to work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] furstrated:
AFAIK, the remote support is software dependent, it might be correct to state that its really a matter of adding some more lines of code to the player application to recognize double and triple presses on the mic button as it aredy recognizes single presses. Also, for those nokia music adaptors with remotes, i think they have batteries inside and if you press the forward button, they send signal pulses akin to double or triple press. As far as the volume buttons tho, i dont have any idea how it is implemented, but it may be anchored on the pulse frequency too but it must be on a system wide implementetion.

this is the samsung rep reply i got from the email below

re: Samsun Galaxy S Music Player

Hi, I just got the samsung galaxy s.

I would like to know if the player supports remote commands from the inline mic button of the headset other than play and pause.

I would like to have the usual press twice to go to next track and press thrice to go back but it seems the player does not recognize this.

Also, it would be nice to support those headsets with integrated music controller like dedicated fast forward, reverse buttons.

Thank you

Is there anyway I can talk through the phone's mic and listen with my head phones? Just like an iPhone or Nokia.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dizzle118:
FYI I'm happy to report this headset works perfectly. The button pause/play audio and answer/end calls, clear quality - I'm very happy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sharky34:

Any clue should nokia WH-701 mic work with galaxy s?

Mobilefun seems to think they should work.

I´ve tested them but the mic didn´t work.

What I´m also wondering could there be differencies with firmwares? I use JM2 at the moment and there isn´t even an icon in the notification bar if I connect the original headset.

Do you get the icon with any headphones/sets? Should there be an icon?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] furstrated:
i posted a while back that nokia headsets and headset adapters with multi button remotes wont work. single buttoons work tho. so you might wanna try wh-205
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hanhav:

well when I use opera for a while it seems that the border just disappears (back favorites tabs home options) does anyone know why that is ? can it be running out of memory?
[HD2 General] SecrtAgentMan:
It just disappears so that you can see the whole screen and view it, if you want to get it back all you have to do is hit the little button at the bottom right.

It gets annoying at times, no idea if there is a way to keep the border and buttons up.
[HD2 General] xanderdad:
Just go to the settings menu, choose display and then uncheck "Automatic full screen"

right I knew that much but what I ment was the button disappears and I cant click anything. if I click physical back button it will go back a screen but the border still remains hiddenand three area where the refresh button is is black. any ideas?

Hey all.

Accidentally dropped my N1 today and funnerly enough i dropped it on carpet however its kitchen floor and hard... only from a distance of 3ft id say.

Now i cant hear people when they phone me, they hear me fine.

Camera doesnt work.

LED doesnt work.

Not good =(

Theres no signs of damage visually looking at it.

So can only leave 1 thing to do...

Going to strip it down see if i can find out whats wrong if anything loose.

What people think?
[Nexus One General] ahamster:
Did you ask if you can get warranty on it?
[Nexus One General] Marine6680:
You might be able to get it repaired under warranty. Even if unlocked, if you are nice and knowledgeable to the right Google rep, then HTC rep (you must call Google first for approval, I found that out last time I did an exchange) There is no physical damage, and I doubt that that fall should have caused any issues. I would suspect that there was a faulty part/solder joint that is causing issues since the fall. Of course you can't tell them it was dropped though. ;) And it might be good to restore it to stock software as well.
[Nexus One General] nyzrox:
Kind of too late now took the void sticker off :(
[Nexus One General] nyzrox:
Also noticed the charging light doesnt work either.

The loud speaker does...
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
This would have been hard to get warranty replaced. Too many issues make it look obvious. It's one thing to call up and say "my camera broke" is one thing. But to have a list of issues, "yeah my camera, charge light, ear piece, speaker, and LED" all stopped working. Good luck trying to get HTC on board with that one:-)
[Nexus One General] Zlodo:
It sounds like every broken function you mentioned is located on the small PCB at the top of the phone (cf the ifixit teardown).

Maybe it's just one of the connectors from the main PCB to the one at the top that got dislodged?
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
If its broken and no warranty....I got dibs on the shell!
[HD2 General] amrbekhit:
Hello all,

I know that the NaviPanel can be configured to automatically connect to a bluetooth handsfree kit. I'm guessing this happens as soon as the panel is launched. However, what happens if the connection to the handsfree kit is lost while the NaviPanel is running? Does it attempt to reconnect or does it do nothing? Also, if the handsfree device also supports the audio streaming profile, I know that in the bluetooth settings you can set it up so that if you to connect to one profile, the other one is automatically connected. When the NaviPanel connects to a handsfree kit, does this setting also take effect?

Thanks

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjmovie:
I'm having some lingering issues with my EVO even after running OTA updates. I am running a rooted stock ROM, currently software version 1.32.651.6 (I have not attempted the latest OTA update yet).

In particular are two problems - SD card issues have remained even after the OTA update. This was present even before rooting but after installing the first update (I went to a "full-service" store on opening day and they set it up themselves, assuming everyone would want it - luckily I could still get root). Issues include the Camera application reporting permissions problems randomly when trying to save pictures to the SD card, HTC's music application freaking out and coming to a near freeze trying to crawl the SD card during one of its troublesome spurts, and files disappearing from file explorers. So basically run of the mill, pre-first-OTA sd card problems. But occurring after the update and both before/after rooting.

Second is a problem with the camera itself. When first booting, HTC's included photo/video application will instantly crash after showing the camera icon on the black background. Google Goggles freezes for about 10 seconds then reports it was unable to connect to the camera. After the phone being on for about half an hour, these issues (seemingly) go away until the next reboot.

Last, and least frequent but still troubling, is a problem with the device powering on. At least twice I have been unable to get the device to turn on after powering it off, forcing a pull and replace of the battery to get it working again.

As far as I know, all of these issues could be either hardware or software. Even the power problem - my best guess is that the phone never powers off fully, but is instead locked inside of a deep sleep state and thus can not turn on until a battery pull forces the entire system off.

The questions being - first, are there any known solutions to the above problems? I have found many threads in particular regarding SD card issues, but none that seem to report these problems post-update. The others I have seen little to nothing about.

Second - if there are not known solutions, would it be prudent to return the phone as it may likely be a hardware problem?

Since it seems I'm forced to take the last update if I get a replacement, I may likely have problems getting a full root back. I'd like to avoid that if possible - having root works wonders for doing application development using non-native (unexposed) API's :P (Which - side note - since I'm developing for 2.1 at the moment, other than hacking for direct access to a Surface, does anyone know of a _fast_ way to do direct blits from native code? glTexImage2d is insanely slow).

Thanks all any help. Again, apologize if any of these are solved and gone problems, but I wasn't able to procure anything myself.

I too have the SD card issue, I have updated, i have rooted, re-rooted, flashed new rom, different roms (fresh and sd) and it has always given me the sd card issue.

SD card permission errors --- POSSIBLE FIX

I hope/think/believe I fixed this error for those interested, I use my EVO for work and need it to work without a hitch....

Here goes (**Note i am a noob with smartphones with a dangerous amount of IT knowledge - disclaimer for those brave enough to browse around the root files and SD card files; I am not responsible for you bricking your phone, I am only trying to help those in need and putting in my 2 cents_)

Download and open the app ---> Root Explorer (or any other root explorer for that matter) from Android market.

Once Root Explorer is open (look up top/left it will say) Mounted as r/o (means read only) - press the white button to mount it as r/w (read & write)

Press and long hold on the SD card directory (folder) - you will get another window from which you must select the permissions option.

Under top option USER - check all marks -- READ WRITE AND EXECUTE & click OK.

VERY IMPORTANT - Click on the (white button) Mount as r/o to write protect your root files on your phone again.

I just applied this fix about 45 mins ago and seems to be working......updates to come if issues persist or re-surface. (**Note I could not see photos or play music and some apps were also giving me FCs (intermittently) due to permission or write errors to SD card; and now it seems to be working like nothing ever happened.)

What I have ::: stock ROM on EVO supersonic with recent HTC updates applied - standard 8Gig SD card provided with phone / had rooted but put back stock ROM for preference issues.

Hope this info helps some folks...very frustrating issue.

Cheers

SD card permission errors --- POSSIBLE FIX

ONE LAST SIDENOTE COMMENT -

I transfer data to my PC often (running Win 7 32bit_)

It is crucial that you right click on "safely remove hardware" icon on the lower right side (next to date and time) and WAIT until windows tells you

..."It is now safe to remove your hardware" --- I was just taking the plug out when done and it appears as if that could have started or compounded these issues with the SD card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digiSal:
I too get the could not connect problems at times. And I have lost access to the SD card a few times. Some say its Fring that causes the problem. But after removing it I still have camera issues. I noticed that having the LED Light on while trying to open the camera will cause this problem.

I am running CM6 RC1 so this is to be expected from Release Candidates. Sit tight. It will get fixed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LF142:
Well after a full 24 hrs...no issues with the read write error on my EVO SD card, I think that when the phone is removed from PC incorrectly (i.e. pulling USB cable out in mode other than "Charge only" i.e. HTC sync, Disk Drive, Internet sharing - it causes it to "corrupt" the permissions on the SD card - It is still working like a champ and i am waiting impatiently for my EVO Froyo update ... feedback appreciated for those whom tried this fix and had it work....txs
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pexy78:
@LF142

Hi there. So I followed all of your instructions above and downloaded Root Explorer. However, every time I change the permissions, they don't save. User, Group and Other is always switched off at root level. Do you think this may mean my SD card is corrupted?

I rooted it with BakedSnack.

I now want to un-root it as I miss taking shots, looking at my shots, listening to my tunes etc.

But I want to keep all my apps. All my texts and everything else. Whats the best way to go about this? I am also a bit of a n00b and I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, but when Froyo releases tomorrow (apparently) do I have to unroot to receive the update?
