Headphone strange issue - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
My dad has an i900 which I put darky 7.0 on many months ago. Since then I personally moved on to the i9300 so ive not kept up with the i9000 scene, so excuse me if im a bit rusty!
So his audio was working fine through headset, but he hasnt used a headset for a few months.
His headphones broke and he replaced them with some REALLY cheap £1 ones which didnt work properly.
He has now purchased some "genuine" ones from ebay for "£1". He says they look like they are authentic, but he has the same issue.
Basically the issue is that he has no sound. However the sound works when he gets an incoming call. After that the sound works on everything until he disconnects and reconnects the headset, then it doesnt work again until he gets another call...
Now I would say that maybe the headphones are fakes, but as I dont live close I cant check and as the audio does actually work after a call, I think this may be software related.
Is this a known issue that can be fixed easily?

HTC HD 2 wired stereo headphones - Earphones problem

Hi all, i recently bought an htc hd 2 used, and i have the following problems with the wired stero headset - earphones included in the box, ill describe what they do and what they wont do, as the previous owner informed me the hands free where almost unused, that means they are like new, and believe me they look like new.
The htc hands free do:
sound will come out of the speakers when i play music
as an antenna for the radio player
The htc hands free wont do:
the mic wont work when im on the phone, i only can hear they canot hear me
and finaly the controls play / pause / next / previous / answer call buttons wont work
I hope you can help me with this problem.
OS: 5.2.21869
manila version: 2.5.19211619
rom version: 18/11/09
radio version: 2.05.51.05_2
Exactly the same issue started cropping up a few weeks ago- strange as it worked perfectly for 5 months.
Hi rieuwa if i find some time i will try to replace the rom with another to see if the problem persists, i dont think is a hardware problem, as i said the earphones are barely used, i think that there might be a software problem.
rieuwa, did you try to restore the rom ?
Hi telas, I actually went in to three phone shops today, until I found one that had a spare HD2 wired headset with buttons to test.
Sure enough, in my case it's the headset that is broken. It worked fine with his headset. Currently with mine I can play music just fine, but the three buttons just don't work.
So I'm just about to start a support call... 'Dear HTC...'
I'm wondering if some sort of short in the plug isn't also causing my other problem whereby occasionally with the headset plugged in, my volume controls on the phone suddenly change into next track/previous track, with no way to get out of that other than a soft reset or turning off the phone (and the HD2 isn't the fastest booter....)
Good luck with yours!
Hi there and thanks, actually my case gets more and more weird, my roommate just bought today an htc hd 2 himself, i asked him if the hands free work he said yes, i said lets test YOUR handsfree on my device, after we pluged it in we pressed the buttons and music played the controls all ok, i said lets plug MY handsfree on your device to see if my handsfree are broken or not, and guess ? THEY DID WORK!
Then we pluged in HIS handsfree on MY device to see if they work and they worked, then we tested mine again on my device and they didnt and now the grant finale, i asked him minutes ago to test his handfree on my device again to double check anddddddddddddddddd THEY DIDNT WORK!!!
Facts:
My hands free work just fine, on other devices
Hands free from other hd 2 devices work fine on my device
Hands free from other hd 2 devices will work for one time only
WTF?
I have same problem headphones buttons not working and when call connected i can hear, but caller not (also i cannot answer with headphone button). After installed 3.14 stock rom headphones buttons problem was random and just after moons using buttons not working every time. So i hear need to delete BsB Tweaks or just disable some options, i try but no luck. I decide to back to my first Htc Hd2 stock rom 1.66, with this rom when i buy Hd2 headphones buttons works fine and just several times i have problem with starting music with button. But what, when i install 1.66 stock rom and try headphones - buttons not working, WTF?
Sorry for my very bad english, but are you guys have any ideas about this problem?
Hey and im having the same problem too, headphones used to wrok perfectly, in my 1.66 rom, upgraded to 3.14 and the problems started, during this time, in a Cyanogen Mod build of android i checked a setting that said "use buttons on headset" so i could control my music in android, and well after reverting back to a 1.66 rom....headset play forward and backwards buttons wont work but music will play through the headset.
I Highly doubt android could be the culprit, and the roms are only software, so maybe its a hardware issue, even though ive used my headset very carfully...im going to try with another set of htc headphones and see if i can find a solution...very wierd.

Does bluetooth normally suck this much on the Hero?

So I bought a set of bluetooth headphones on Amazon.com recently, and they are working really badly! The audio constantly stutters on CM 6.0, and still stutters quite a bit on Darchrom 2.8. It also has pretty pathetic range, if I put my phone in my pocket or even hold it in my hand below my belt it just cuts out completely!
Is this normal for the Hero or do these headphones just really suck?

I'd say it was your head set. I use my phone to play bluetooth over my car stereo and it's great. I've had it connect to my phone which was inside my apartment and play without issue.
Thanks for the reply! Which ROM do you use, stock or a custom one? I tried it with the Cyanogen Mod RC1 and also Darchrom 1.8, but I haven't tried the stock sprint rom yet.
I'm running the CM 6.0 RC1 basically. I've had some Sense ROMs on it as well and they've worked well enough. Didn't really run stock build long so can't really say much for how well that works.
I also have bluetooth problems, and it is not my headset. The headset pairs, and has great range with my motorola Q. When I pair it with my Hero, it has a 2 foot line of site range, if I hold it in my other hand, it cuts out.
I have a hero running stock 2.1, rooted. My carrier is MTS in Manitoba.
I don't know of any ROMs that would work with my carrier, so I am hesitant to try any other.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Try disabling stagefright in the build.prop file. It fixes audio issues with Pandora on CM6.
I have a cheap insignia headset, and it works for my needs...but, I do have the same problem with the phone in my pocket. I sometimes get the stuttering thing, but I think that it happens for me during syncs and other data stuff happening. Usually tho, I don't have this problem. I'm on froyo 817 build

I just tried this, and it made no difference. Thanks for the tip though. I hope to get my hands on another hero, just so I can check if my hardware is defective.
I have the Motorokr S9-HD headset. I get crappy signal or connection on my Hero running cm6 RC1. I've also noticed this on other roms. You pretty much need a arm band to get better signal. I've found that by placing the phone in your pocket it cuts in and out. I think it sucks but the only cure I've noticed so far is an arm band. Hope this helps, peace, Chags
It's so bad, I can't even have the phone on the straps of my backpack 2 feet away. The signal cuts off if you move the wrong way.
bluetooth issues
Hey guys,
I had a motorokr as well, and it blew chunks for range. I also have a Motorola HT-820 bluetooth headset, and it does great with the hero on the same ROMs. This isn't an issue with the Hero software -- I talked to Motorola about it, and they said the headset was defective. I sent it in for replacement and I'll let you guys know how it goes.

[Q] Problem Connecting Dell BH 200 Headset with Streak

Hi people,
Am facing a problem while connecting the Dell BH 200 Wireless headphones with My Streak, it connects fine. I can listen to music but as soon as I get calls the Bt gets disconnected and I have to manually take call using the phone...It happens every time... .
Its such a pain if you are driving and listening to songs suddenly you get a call, pullover take the call and spend five more minutes pairing it again
Am running my streak on stock Froyo Rom, Baseband is 318 and kernel version is 2.6.32.9-Dj_Steve-BFS-BFQ-OC-Vol
had this problem even before with stock kernel and baseband.
Am wondering why cause the same headphones sync beautifully with Galaxy S stock froyo and Galaxy 3 and my HTC Evo.....
Irony of the situation is this that I work for dell but no one in the Wireless or hand held department was able to give me an answer.
So my good people at XDA here I am.....
Please Help Me out!!
Peace Out!!
Sam
>>>>>EDIT<<<<<<
Finally gave up on DELL BH 200 and bought BH 503 it supports all the profiles and no pairing issues as well, not to miss the sound quality and in call quality is at par!!
I have the same problem .... any advice would be appreciated.

im just curious, why are you listening to your headphones IN the car
on the other hand, i just got a pair of Sony DR-BT101 yesterday and they paired perfectly to my phone. the only problem i can see you might have is the fact that your headset doesnt have one of the profiles that allows for calls? i can remember which one it is, either hsp or hfp but other than that i dont see why it would disconnect itself.
also, you shouldnt have to pair the headphones everytime u want to connect, the whole point of pairing is so it auto connects when the devices are on and in range. if you meant to say connect then nevermind me

So, crappier than crappy

Terrible w/ My BT Headset Sony E. MW600

Well, I bought a MW600 BT headset last year for my Vivaz (SE).
(No quality I have wanted because of A2DP is not well developed for music)
After a half of year, I get my Galaxy Tab P1000 (at that moment it was official 2.2.1 )and tried to play music w/ it. But in result, a really really bad quality I have been gotten.
Well, then, I left it alone for a long while until the official 2.3.3 was released but however the result was still bad.
Unfortunately, the result in every custom rom / kernel is still getting wrong w/ it.
So far, I put it under my bed and leave alone forever.
Hi
i use the same BT Headset with the galaxytab and winmo65 for some months now. I have good sound quality with both devices. Some gtab roms have better a2dp, some older gave me disconnects every few seconds.
But the latest boca and cm9 roms works fine for me.

In fact I have forgone listening via bluetooth.
It is really poor when you comparing it w/ directly cable connect via 3.5mm socket (w/ Voodoo or other sth likely setter)
The problem is I always surfer the lagging when I am telephoning.
I don't know why it happens but this issue appeared on my fd phones as well.
But nothing happened on Vivaz. This puzzled me for a long while but not now.
Normally, I just wanna use it as a mic and plug my rubbish earphone for phone call.
Please forgive my poor English as I am not a native speaker.
Right before placing an order for this mw600,thinking to replace my sein for cycling and I like this mw600 to handle 2device, music also nice reduction.
So, and I wonder is there some issue using this with:
-gt-i9100/2.3.3
-gt-p1000/4.0.4

bluetooth hands free mic pioneer stereo issues, people don't hear me.

I had a pioneer deh-x6700bt stereo installed recently that has Bluetooth and hands free wired mic that clips behind the rear view mirror. My son in law did the install for me and he works and mods all kinds of cars so I don't think it was the install itself.
Everything works except when I make a call people don't hear me speak and have to grab my phone and turn on the speaker on the phone to use. It pairs with Bluetooth fine using my music via my phone's sd card and pandora etc.
I sent pioneer and email and they sent me a new mic to install, but had the same issue. The phone I'm using is an AT&T S5 on rooted 4.4.4
Wondering if anyone else has had issues with pioneer systems and found a fix.
Ha, Ha 45 views and nuttin? I figured someone would have something to say on the subject.
Tomorrow I will have some time to play around with it and use my wife's unrooted S5. Also borrow other phones to see if they work.
I have a feeling it's a setting within the radio itself (I hope). I'm not ripping it out if I can't get it to work. It is what it is.
The only thing i can think of is you do not have the phone paired proper you should see 2 profiles in your Bluetooth one with a headphone next to it and ine with a telephone reciver next to it for the same unit

Thanks for the reply rurigokou. I actually do have the two profiles synced.
I tried everything and have come to the conclusion it is a problem with the head unit itself. I called best buy and the manager was very gracious and is going to have a tech do some diagnostics on the unit for me.
If they find a problem I'm guessing they will switch out the unit, since that is where I purchased it. I have studded tires on the front of the car and have to grab others for me to take it in (here in Oregon the tires need to be changed early this year cause of the good weather , March 30).
Thanks for the reply rurigokou.
I have exact same issue
Gonna try new mic
