Many other phones allow you to route the phone earpiece sound to your earphones if they are plugged, while permitting continued use of the the phone mic to speak during a call.
Meaning you could have you favourite music listening earphones plugged in, listen to your music and take calls without having to unplug your earphones.
With the i9000 doesn't do this, which is irritating.
I want to use higher quality earphones, not the stock headset or a stereo bluetooth headset.
Would any one in xda know a work around for this?
Would it be a hardware, software or firmware issue?
(my guess is firmware)
Thanks,

did you bother to search.. this has been discussed numerious times first by me over 6 months ago.

The only ones i've seen are the ones by marcelo reis and glemery- which about the Samsung fascinate-.
I've also since reviewed your posts and haven't found much concrete information, only suppositions. People are saying that it -might be- the fact that it's a four pin connector.
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with firmware or drivers, if the question hasn't been answered yet.
I'm not especially interested in buying a nokia adapter.
Was there a definitive answer to this question?
I've found this post by marcelo- dated Oct 12th, which leads me to believe it's software issue.

Mr lgkhan, thanks for your non-help and your non-existent 6 month old discussion.

As mentioned numerous times in numerous posts the pinouts are different, two wires are swapped. If you don't want to use a Nokia adapter for your non stock headphones you can always cut your wire and try to re-wire yourself...

I think OP is talking about using a regular earphone - which means left and right only channels. It has nothing to do with the wiring of earphones with 3 lines (L,R,mic)

Thank you. Yes, you are correct.
If Mercelo Reis's post is correct, it would indicate that the problem is not hardware, OS or firmware related. It would be app related, given he has that functionality on the skype app, but not the phone app.
The reason I want this is because I want to use audiophile earphones to listen to music and be able to take calls without having to alter the arrangement. As it stands now, I'm forced to unplug my earphones from the phone to take the call.
I can't get high level audio quality from a headSET or bluetooth. I don't want to be encumbered by a potentially unnecessary adapter.
My friend has a HTC desire that can do this. My brother who has a Nexus with froyo, can't. So, hoping for a fix this way with the new froyo for the SGS seems slim..
ok so I know I am not the only one. on xda a few of us are getting if not all speaker noise always on. if you think different put your ear up to the speaker and listen, you will hear white noise! I know for me i am not looking for any dead peeps to come crawling out my nookie! I just wanted to get this addressed so that maybe it could get fixed.
I have a class A tube amplifier that is silent at zero volume it was a few hundred dollars. it only amplifies. I guess I could try to solder it into my nook to try to make it silent but then my nook would weigh 35 pounds and only last 0.93 seconds on battery power beforeneeding a recharge.
Yes, same here.
Even posted this to the forums a while back, and several folks reported the same results.
Persistent low-level white noise.
the condition is true with both the rear speaker and the headphone.
Same problem,still there on silent mode, with headphones, screen off... 7.0.2 with 4/24 kernel.
It's kernel related. It's being fixed.
This is one of those things that you won't notice unless someone points it out. And after you cannot stop noticing it. I'm not happy that you made me aware of it ruining my perfect tablet....

I've noticed the noise with Phiremod v6.2 running from an SD card. I thought it had something to do with CM7. However, after booting into the B&N stock 1.2, I still noticed the constant noise.
didn't try to re-listen since i'm on cm7 but had this noise with nookie froyo (only when the screen was on).

Or you can be over 45 and a former sound engineer for live rock bands like me. I can't hear a darn thing coming out of the speaker.
edit: what?
I am looking for some help. Now that I have a tablet and I am trying to find a good BT stereo headset for it. I am going to mostly use the headset for listening to my tablet for movies and doing items on my tablet where I do not want to bug my wife and others.
I am also going to want to use it with my phone when I am working out or working on items where a tablet is just too big to have around. I went to Best Buy and they stated to use the Jaybird ones. They are going to take a large chunk out of my wallet. I am trying to find what else is out there and would have good sound quality and bass for movies but can take getting all sweating in a work out.
Thank you for any help or tips on this. Just kind of stuck right now.
You can also look at getting a receiver that has a headphone jack and use the headphone of choice.

Might have to look into that. Thanks
Motorola has some water resistant ones but they are trash. Go with the jaybirds. I have several friends with them and they work great, and don't short out.
I have a Sony mw600 receiver that works pretty well. And with a standard 3.5 mm jack you can use any headset you want.
It's not as "clean" as a pure bt headset, but it's a lot more flexible. It has fm radio as well, a nice addition.
The only downside I found is the touch/pressure/whatever sensitive volume slider is a bit fiddly.
There is supposedly a newer version out, mw600s, but no idea about the changes and/or improvements.

I've used the Motorola S9 and now the S10 bluetooth stereo headsets. The S9 I sent back at least 4 times because sweat gets into the buttons and when you press up or down on them it sticks the contact and acts as if you are holding it down. I finally got out of the warranty period and found that if I put them on the airconditioner return (on the floor) for a few days they work fine. I have to say that the S10 has not had that problem. In both cases, the "in ear" nature of the S9 and S10 do not fit me well. Of course fit is highly subjective so take it for what it's worth.
The S9 had better sound to me than the S10 and was easier to control (when there wasn't sweat behind the buttons). On the S10 I have to really press the buttons hard to activate them. The pads on the end of each side on the S10 came off in the first week. They were stuck on with what is essentially double sided tape. I tried to glue one back on with super glue which just hardened the semi-soft pad into a wrinkled mess. I used a dremel with an abrasive buffer tip to smooth it down.
Finally, the soft ear tips on the S10 come off almost every time I take the headset off. Of course the headset is useless if you loose the tips...well, it works, but is pretty uncomfortable in your ears. The one good experience was that I called Motorola and they sent me a bag of the tips for free. So now I have (I think) 6 pairs, two each of each size. No hassle from customer service. I was ready to pay something, but they just sent them for free.
I'm in the market for some new stereo headphones for the gym. They must be bluetooth, take calls, and have controls on them. The problem is that it's an expensive game of hit or miss on fit and function although I can return them to BestBuy if needed.
It might seem that I'm down on the S9 and S10. In general, I like the way they fit around my neck, I just wish they would nail it instead of staying at about 80%.
Just my 2 cents.
I have a Sennheiser pxc 310, it's a very good device, but the big problem with bluetooth, movie and nexus 7, is the latency between sound and pictures.
I have the galaxy note 2 and there is no such problem, maybe the apt-x codec solve the problem.
Give the LG HBS-700 a shot. I use them for everything from work, to tv, to working out at the gym.
They sound decent and have a decent battery life.
My only gripe with them is that they slip a little when on the bench.

I'm using the LG HBS700 with So Slim Rom and the sound/video is very laggy and choppy over BT. Even when I play local files or ones over the network. I even tried watching a movie on Netflix. If I stop the video and plug in some headphones directly, it works fine. Anyone else have this problem? Might have to try a different Rom.

I have this problem on the stock ROM, if you do some searching apparently it's a common bug introduced recently.
It's pretty disappointing as I got a Jabra clip to make listening while on the treadmill easier and it's just skippy as hell.
I'm using Samsung HS-3000 stereo. It has 3.5mm audio jack which you can swap the earphone for better ones

Mine are Shure SE 215!
I found out that playing and pausing audio with any Audio Player does stop the noise signal after some seconds. Sometimes it also stops by itself. Very strange problem, did not experience it with my old Xperia S.
To me that sound similar to desktops. When you plug the speakers in the back. You hear the distortion before its in 100%.
Not sure what that is but doesnt seem to affect anything. Do yiu have any water in the headphone hole?
Maybe its the phones metal inside. Could be dust? Maybe something in there thats interfering with the headphone jack. Give it a good blow. Or a brush that can get in there.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
The Distortion appears directly after plugging in the jack and stops after some seconds or upon pausing the audio. This is without touching or moving the cable, so it does not have something to do with the mechanical connection.
EDIT:
Ok I found something out: The noise just appears when using earphones with a standard connector with 3 lanes (Ground, Left and Right Channel). When using a headset with 4 lanes (Ground, Left, Right, Mic) there is no noise signal. Tried it with both a Sony and an Apple headset (no noise) and my Shure earphones (noise)
I have no clue why it behaves like this, though.
Could be a cheap way for them to make you spend more money on headphones.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
My Shures were definitely more expensive than the headsets I tested 3 vs 4 lanes is not a quality sign it's just so that a headset needs the 4th connector for the Microphone signal (correct me when I'm wrong).
I have similar issue on brainwavz B2 but that weird sound is gone after a while...
Looks like Im not alone on this issue. I have problems with Shure se210 and westone 4r.

Good idea, but it does not help. Also tried deactivating Smart Connect and rebooting, but there's still noise when plugging in the jack.
This really annoys me! Especially because it just happens with normal earphones and not with headsets, so it probably is not a hardware bug.

No, it has nothing to do with moving the device (and there definitely are no vacuum tubes in a mobile phone xD). But I am not sure if that was your question.

Same issues with headphone jack
Hey guys I'm experiencing exactly the same noise with my headphone jack on my Z1.

Has anybody alerted Sony to the issue yet?

I have problems with jaybird bluebuds x :crying:
Well this is disturbing. I was hoping this kind of crap would have been sorted out by now. I posted a longer rant on another review of the Z1 on Engadget, but here's a snippet of what I wrote,
"I had a really bad experience with a Sony MD player. had a sharp md player, that I bought in Japan, and that thing was awesome. It did everything I wanted it to, It was pretty and sleek and I loved it. It died in a car wreck. Back in the states, I got a Sony to replace it. (only available brand at the time) Twice, I had to return it for a manufacture's repair because the headphone port kept crapping out and creating static on the headphones. The stupid retailer tried to convince me it was my headphones but I tried multiple pairs. The thing was a piece of garbage. Ever since then, I've had a bit of a sour taste regarding Sony's audio products. "
The problem you all are having seems a bit better, at least the static goes away after a couple of seconds. On my MD player, it would go away but then come back if I adjusted the headphones at all inside the jack, and sometimes without provocation. Has anybody noticed that the problem persists beyond a couple of seconds after the headphones are plugged in? If it does, It might just be the same flaw in Sony's headphone jack design. It's abhorrent to me, that a company that built its brand on audio fidelity is also the only company with which I've ever had a problem with something as simple as a headphone jack. I hope that this is the exception rather than the rule with these phones, because I still really want one. I guess one potential solution is to just use bluetooth headphones instead, but this doesn't solve the potential hardware problem, It's just a work-around, and when you pay that much for a flagship device, you shouldn't have to work around anything. The hardware should work flawlessly.
oops.. I ranted again.

This is the reply I got from Sony Mobile:
Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre.
We are sorry to hear that you are having difficulties finding headphones to work with your Sony Xperia Z1.
The Sony Xperia Z1 uses a CTIA headphone jack and therefore will only be compatible with other CTIA headphones. As Sony do not test there phones with Third Party Manufacturers, such as Shure and Westone, we can not confirm that they use the same connectivity. You would need to speak to the headphones manufacturers to find this information.
The headphones and headset models which are compatible for your phone are listed below:
MH750
MK200
MW1
SBH20
MBH10
SBH52

I was excited to get my Chromecast today, but not excited after testing some of the apps. I can use Netflix fine without issue, but all other apps have severe audio choppiness. For the sake of testing I moved the CC to my Vizio TV and tested the various apps and had no issues. My issue seems to be specific to my JVC LT-46P510 TV.
Anyone have any ideas on a fix? I checked for a firmware update, but nothing. Hoping someone has an answer out there.
I've heard of problems just like this. Other cases were signal issues. Use the extender that came with the cc and make sure the power is plugged into the wall and not a USB on the TV. If this doesn't work you might want to think of moving g the router if possible.

In that case, try moving the Chromecast and router farther apart. Too close/strong is also not good for signal strength - the whole constructive/destructive interference thing.

It's up to the individual app as to what it points Chromecast to, then it's up to the provider (or site) as to what format is delivered. Seems Netflix is delivering audio in a format that is problematic for your equipment. HDMI supports a few different audio formats as well as sampling rates and bit depths.

I would also check the input settings on that TV as well...Some TVs allow you to select which format to expect Audio over HDMI in/
I have the opposite problem. Netflix is all jacked up like Alvin and the chipmunks underwater while other apps are fine.

Well you say the device works fine on other TVs right?
That suggests it isn't the CCast that is the problem...
Only thing left to blame is the TV. I would suggest calling JVC support.
One thing I noted from your Manual specs is the TV only supports PCM. I'm going to guess this is a very old TV as far as HDMI standards go.

Sadly, it might be. My Sony TV is 2009 and it doesn't support DLNA Video - only Pictures and Music. Not that I'd really use its interface for that anyway, but you get the point.
Manufacturers tend to lag behind the release of a standard since it takes time to design a product, acquire licenses, and bring it to market. The times when they are chomping at the bit to be first (or at least current), you get stuff like the early 802.11n "draft" hardware that didn't always get updated if there was some hardware limitation.

It's less about what year the TV was made and more about how old the design is and what technology they decided to include.
Sometimes to keep the price down they use older circuitry and outdated CPUs since they are cheap to buy at the time,
Sometimes it's all about how much time they spent on the Settings programming, and protocol support.
Still say that a call to JVC would be the best option, Just be sure to tell them that you have no problems with your unit in other areas and DO NOT under ANY circumstances tell them anything they can use to say NOT OUR PROBLEM!
Don't mention things like Signal Strength of WiFi or anything but the fact that it doesn't work with their TV but works with all the others.
Give them even an inch to say it's not our fault and you will get no help.
Hopefully your will not be the first call they get if it is a model wide problem and maybe they will come up with a firmware update to fix it.

No just that it maybe time to upgrade your TV or that there maybe something wrong with it that you hadn't noticed till now.

The only way to get good results from tech support is to call them and keep them on the phone until they have a decent answer....
Most of the time that means getting past the guy reading from the idiot test menu that tells you the shut off or power down the unit blah blah blah....
Normally I wouldn't blame the TV but you said the unit works fine on others but not the JVC.
The only other option I can think of is to buy a cheap Audio Amp that has at least two HDMI Inputs and plug the CCast into that and let the Amp feed the TV. Then at least your gaining some capability for the money you will be spending.
I would never buy a JVC TV (I tend to stay away from Panasonic these days as well).
Samsung is the Monitor leader along with Phillips. Samsung actually makes a lot of the LED Panels the other brands use.

Don't be afraid to politely ask for your case to be escalated.
I still remember when Sony support was adamant that I unscrew my Clie NX80V's stylus to push the reset button on the back... The NX80V's stylus didn't unscrew and its reset was on the side, pushable by the non-unscrewing stylus. I humored them and pretended to unscrew it.
You could also get an off-board decoder that will "dumb things down" to PCM, but for what you'll usually pay for that, you get a better deal getting the amp with it.
