I'm up for upgrade in December from my Hero, but hopefully this rumored HTC "Sabor" is coming out around that time..

Supposedly it's the "Evo 2" and sounds VERY nice.

Link missing, since I can't post it... Recap below:
[Hero CDMA General] Youngin:
Right now I'm impressed with the hero but I feel a little behind without a sbapdragon so n Sept I'm upgrading to an Evo and I'll keep it for about a yr and a half...
[Hero CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
I really wish we could have the Incredible on Sprint...
[Hero CDMA General] pgreptom:
I get my upgrade 02/22/2011... and the recap posted about made me cringe in my pants. That's almost better specs than my 4 year old laptop that runs as my media server.. lol

I wonder if that would help a little with speed? Maybe latency? Humor me. I'd be REALLY interested in seeing someone toy with it. Sorry I don't know the slightest about things that technical, or else I'd be doing it already! I have too much work to do for my job to try to absorb this too

Ok so as regards to my last post with the 2.1 video. Seeing as Dell will NOT be releasing 2.2 in sep instead 2.1:@ What are the differences?

I want multitouch for games is that still in 2.1? What about flash support? I take it that defo isnt as I remember it being the reason I did not get the nexus one when it was first released..

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Marcelo Reis:
Is there anyway I can talk through the phone's mic and listen with ordinary head phones?

I can do this with pretty much any recent Nokia or iPhone, but the i9000 just seems to ignore normal headphones completely when answering a call.

This looks more like a software thing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
some phones doesn't work like that, you can listen but not talk when using the 3.5mm headphone (without mic)

like my old Palm Treo phones you can only use it unplug, or plug but then your headset will need to have a mic, else it wont work.

the next best thing is Stereo Bluetooth, they all come with a Mic
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Marcelo Reis:
Not even that much

That's the thing, on the Galaxy S can't even "listen" to the phone call using headphones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
check this topic, some people already found out several models that works with SGS

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Marcelo Reis:
Thank you for your help but...

Thank you for your help, but what I'd really like to do is connect Galaxy to my car stereo's 3.5mm input and answer the calls using the car speakers.

I know that if I used a Nokia Mic adapter, it should work, but CRAP!

This is a way too expensive phone not to do that without the need for an adapter.

I have faith someone will come up with a way to bypass Samsung's stupidity and just leave the audio jack active when in a call.

Also, if I want to use my Sennheiser HD headphones, I can't without putting a crappy adapter between it and the telephone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
if it's for the car, then just get bluetooth for the car, it's by far the easiest way
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Marcelo Reis:
The easiest way is a 25cent cable

The easiest way is a 25cent cable that does not eat up my battery like BT.

Again, I thank you for your help, but the perfect world would be someone to flip a switch in the phone's software and just make sound come out of it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] j0bro:
You are right; I also had my Hero connected with the 3.5mm cable to my car stereo and when I received a call, I switched my car to AUX and picked up the call, presto! Sound was routed through speakers and mic would pick up my voice perfectly.

Now with my new SGS it just doesn't work! I must leave the cable disconnected and switch the phone speaker mode on to be able to talk. How sh*t is that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Janis:
So here I was excited about a 3.5mm jack. Oh well. Just shows to go ya, size doesn't matter.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] eitama:
Hey,

Can you please elaborate on that cable wiring? or where to purchase etc?

I think the best thing is have an adapter with a mic and a female headphones socket to which you connect ANY headphones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] eitama:
Just a followup on this, my old n95 adapter works perfect.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] aridoasis:
it's kinda weird. it works and it doesn't.

i have a jvc in-ear earphones and skullcandy lowrider headphone.

when receiving a call with my jvc, audio switches back to the phone's speaker and phone mic won't work unless i unplug the jvc.

with the skullcandy lowriders, call is routed to headphones and phone mic work perfectly.

note: neither of these pairs have an in-line mic, so the mic i am referring to is the one on the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] eitama:
Does the 2nd pair have a quad conductor plug? (like a tv out cable for the galaxy)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] aridoasis:
how would i be able to tell?

looking at them physically, the two plugs look the same. gold plated with 2 black bands.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dizzle118:
Nokia? Nope... on that thread I posted about the SAMSUNG adaptor http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7350178&postcount=22 I use this in the car via the aux port - works perfectly and for £2.95 you cant go wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dasebasto:
I am experiencing the same problem, which is very annoying and might keep me from buying Samsung again if they don't provide a fix...

It weird indeed.

I tested an iPhone stock headset (which has the exact same jack as the galaxy S headset, at least visually), and the calls are not ROUTED through the headphones !

A possible explanation for this is that the phone monitors the headphone's impedance: if the impedance is different from the one of the stock headset, then call sound is routed to the phone speaker.

I'm really hoping some developers will come up with a fix or a custom ROM to fix this issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] aridoasis:
i'll post the specs of both headphones for scrutiny when i grt home.

one thing i can day though is that my jvc has 10mm drivers and my lowrider has 40mm drivers. does that even matter?

i'm also gonna try to see what happens of i use my bro's skullcandy asym in-ears.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] s1rl4ncel0t:
Any news about this issue?

I am about to throw this phone against the wall because oh this.... Damn!!!!:mad:

If there are things which should not be considered "as features", this is one of those...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] aridoasis:
sorry but it took me a while. first, here are the specs:

skullcandy lowrider

driver: 40mm

freq response: 18 Hz - 20 kHz

impedance: 32 Ohms

Max Input Power: 400mW

jvc HA-FXC80

Driver Unit:	0.23"(5.8mm)

Magnet type:	Neodymium

Frequency Response:	8HZ - 25KHz

Impedance:	16ohms

Sensitivity:	103dB/1mW

Max Input Power:	150mW(IEC)

skullcandy asym

Driver Unit: 13mm

Frequency Response: 18Hz - 20kHz

Impedance: 32 ohms

Max Input Power: 30mW

and one more thing i tried...

x-mini max speakers

Drivers: 40mm

Frequency response: 230HZ -18KHZ

Sensitivity: 86db/1mW

Out of all the four, the calls would only route to the skullcandy lowrider. At first I though it might have been driver size, that's why i threw in the x-mini max for the test. looks like there's another factor that's causing this anomaly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MikeMaMan:
It's definitely soft problem! Because in Nimbuzz software, if you use Nimbuzz-out (same as Skype-out) and i had phone connected to car with 3.5 mm jack, sound went to car stereo, and i was talking using samsung mic. So if they could realize this "feature", why samsung couldn't? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] aridoasis:
looks like. it's probably how the phone app detects whether the is an attached headphone or not. i'm not sure as to which values it might be looking at but it would be great if a dev can look into this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hEx44:
That's total nonsense from samsung, it is so stupid solution - I've got my SGS plugged into my car stereo and need seperate bluetooth receiver to make phone calls!

I'm surprised that there isn't any solution for this issue, likr aridoasis said, it would be really great if some dev team would fix it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] almi88:
Ok... So I am not sure if I am right but, I noticed something with a tv out cable that i bought. When I plug it in my phone it emits distorted video on all 3outputs. That means that the ground wiering is not as usual as other devices. So I cutted out the jack and played a little with the wires and found out that the ground is the second connector not the first as it is in normal devices. This means that when you plug a normal headset it short-circuits the mic-output and the phone thinks that you have a mic connected. Sorry for my english, I hope you understand what I wrote
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] almi88:
This is a picture to illustrate what I have explained above

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Marcelo Reis:
Please Samsung, do a soft fix for this in 2.2. I am seriously considering dumping mine just for this. It is just a darn mic on, phones on switch.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hEx44:
It's done this way on most of devices and it works on them (nokia, Iphone, etc)

Someone wrote that nokia remote works fine, so I've ordered this:

ebaycouk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260580019106

Just £2.45 and it might be the right solution for now.

It's got mic build-in so you can place it somewhere closer for better performance ;)

I can't post links so just add dots.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] almi88:
The ground connector on our Samsung is the same as it is on the Nokia, and only on the nokia :D... The Iphone and others have the ground connector where we have the mic/tv-out connector ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Marcelo Reis:
I just tested my normal headphones with Skype app. Guess what, it works! I can talk on the phone's mic and all.

Again, it can't be that hard to make the phone app do the same. PLEASE SAMSUNG!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Marcelo Reis:
Let's keep the subject simple. I am not talking about adaptors, just software good sense.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hEx44:
Thanks that's more precise the point is that it works this way with other pins short-circuit either it's video or mic ;)

@Marcelo Reis: First you talk about adaptors and not-related skype and then you're saying that we shouldn't talk about adaptors :)

Well, adaptor seems to be the only solution for now...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Marcelo Reis:
That is not the point. Of course adaptors work but from the beginning, my pois was that adaptors should not be necessary. The hardware is fully capable of a phone conversation without any special extra stuff, just plane heardphones or a p2-p2 cable to the car stereo. Proof is, it works with Skype and fring.

Of course any ebay samsung mic is going to work, but why should I need one? It is just more crap to carry around.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] appagom:
Why is everyone so worried about the pin order?

Regardless of which one is first and which one is second.. if you put in a plug with one long solid ground sleeve (stereo headphones) it's going to short the phone's ground to mic. That's true if the pin order in the phone ground, mic, ears or mic, ground, ears. A short in reverse is still a short. So I this issue doesn't have anything to do with it the OP's issue (only to do with the post about the iphone headset)

If you want to hook up a miked headset or tvout then it should matter of course.

The phone may not like mic being shorted to ground and may decide there's no mic.. and so no joy for you. That's software as the OP says. On the other hand I get tired of people complaining that they paid sooo much money how can they be expected to deal with any detail not being perfect. It's not broken, not at all. In fact I for one like the behavior the way it is. If I don't have a wired mic.. I want to grab the phone and talk, not yell loudly or wear headphones and hold the phone to my face at the same time. Find a device without any details that don't make you personally perfectly happy.

Personally I'm glad I found this thread cause I was actually just surfing around trying to figure out how to use my favorite headphones AND a mic. And that mic adapter looks just perfect! One could make a small version with no mic and leave it on their headphones all the time if you prefer. That's an easy 5 minute project.. 20 including internet shopping for the parts, if you're into that kind of thing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gowger:
I just discovered the same issue. It seems crazy that the only way you know theres a call coming in its that the music gets interrupted. I use sip droid and it works perfect so it's obviously a software issue. I've also found it quite hard to convince it to use a bluetooth headset. And to those who say we shouldn't complain about every little detail working, I will because theres quite a bit	of BASIC TELEPHONE FUNCTIONALITY that should work and doesn't. I wouldn't if out was only a couple of issues but theres plenty!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] appagom:
Its android. some details arent as Smooth out as winmo yet for sure. But my phone works fine. Furthemore this is an OPTION request as much as a bug. just cause you want it to work that way doesnt mean everyone does. I dont... and the option even exists...just requires a cheap adapter... Hardly sounds like a recall issue.

True.. The phone should ring that parts a bug.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Marcelo Reis:
Darn! Not having at least the option to answer a call using the GOOD headphones I am using to listen to music is plain Stupid!

You must at least agree that having to cary an extra adapter for such a simple thing is utterly not necessary and a pain in the ass.

I am not saying is a matter of a recall but a simple software fix... please don't bend my words.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] TeNdr:
Use Tango , you can see you can video call for free and use any earphone
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Marcelo Reis:
Tango is no different then Fring that, as I mentioned, works as expected (so does Skype, Nimbuzz or any other SIP for that matter)... what I want is to make NORMAL phone calls.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] appagom:
Marcelo, I get your request. I seriously doubt Samsung will fix this, so you have to hope some ROM maker who cares figures it out. Supercurio seems the best bet being he is already messing with some sound settings.

Now to hijack the thread just slightly :).. I found this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/SteelSeries-Mobile-Device-Adapter-PC/dp/B0035ER6GY

Wonder if anyone found one that works for the Nokia/SGS wiring. I have computer headsets (dual 3.5 mm plugs) I use for skype calls. Sure the sound is worse, but the boom mic is far better, and sometimes I only want to carry one set of phones.

My HTC desire is on the new voda rom, not froyo but 2.1 - update 1.

I want to load a custom rom onto it however, will I need a gold card to do it and which is the easiest method?

The unrevoked method, even if I have windows 7 64 bit?

Thanks guys!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk77:
make a goldcard and use unrevoked;)

for the goldcard download goldcard tool, unxip and follow the instructions..

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13180010/goldcard.zip

Then root with unrevoked.

also choose custom recovery in unrevoked and add amonRA its alot better ;)

Agreed. I did this and it was easy and quick following tutorials on XDA.

One thing to note - if you decide to S-OFF also (in order that you can delete system apps, change partitions etc.), I found I couldn't get it to work while I was still running my (rooted) stock rom.

Once I flashed a custom rom it worked fine!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Don't need a gold card to root or flash a custom ROM, only if you want to flash a stock ROM different from your current one

Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post up your software version and we'll see if a stock RUU is available for warranty purposes

Is there any way to tell if a HTC Evo 4G is rooted?

Thanks,

Bstokes
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawgn8:
Yes.

What you need:

1 3lb sledge

1 Cold Chisel

2 C-Clamps

1 Microfibre cloth

1 Roll Duct Tape

How-To:

1. Place Evo on cloth to make parts that may fall out easy to find

2. Attach C-Clamps so the phone is propped up on its side. If you are really good, you can utilize the kickstand, but you need to be really skilled at the next steps

3. Place the blade of the cold chisel at the seam in the side of the Evo

4. Strike the head of the chisel firmly with the 3lb sledge. Repeat about 5 times.

5. Look inside the casing. If there are roots inside, then your Evo is rooted. If there are remnants of roots, that means it was rooted once, but the person who had your phone before you went back to stock.

6. Put your phone back together and duct tape the seams. This also waterproofs your phone.

Thanks...

this is addressed to anybody running any manila version on a blueangel or any other device!

in some rom there are 4 default pictures for manila's people tab. there are 2 different pictures for men (i think one was thin and one wore a cap) and 2 different ones for women (different hair styles i think).

i am trying to set up my people tab and don't have contact photos for some people and i don't want to use the same guy for all those people.

so, if you are running manila, please check your windows folder for those people pics. they are removed from most roms for space purposes, so i don't have them on any of my devices. i don't want to flash all the manila roms just to find the missing 3 pictures.
