I have a pair of Nokia WH-701 headphones
nokia.co.in/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/headsets/wired-headsets/nokia-stereo-headset-wh-701
(removed "www" so that this would be a valid noob post and no this isn't spam )
And the buttons(volume,call,play/pause etc) on these headphones don't work on my GT-I5800..Is there any way(maybe an app?) to make them work with our phone???
Is this an issue only with these particular headphones or is this the same for all headphones?If it is so then it would be of great help if our devs could cook up an app to make these compatible with our phone
Thanks in advance
P.S.: This is my First post so please forgive me if its in the wrong place
I dont think the buttons will work .. its a wired headphone so the harware is not supported.. had it been a bluetooth one then it would have been possible..
Yep, it shouldnt be possible to use the buttons.
No, it shouldn't work. It can't.
First of all, android doesn't support previous/next/volume buttons, only single button with multiple press options (single/double/triple, slow and long press). HERE you can find remote functionality for all android music players and some non-android as well, using standard headphones with single action button.
Below there is a table called 'P Version Compatibility'. It lists all of the android phone models that are compatible with standard TRRS (4 pin) jack. As of standard jack I'm thinking about that one which is compatible with iPhone and most of the music players (pins as follows: T, R1, R2, S). There is no Galaxy 3 specified in that compatibility table, which means it has kind of proprietary port.
In this proprietary port the microphone and ground pins are reversed (pins as follows: T, R1, S, R2). Many Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones are equipped with it, so they are not compatible with standard headsets mic/button functionality.
To be able to use this additional functionality you have to use Samsung's headset bundled with i5800 or similar (as of headset jack) phone or use TRRS to TRSR adapter, like THIS one.
In this case buttons and mic are totally incompatible with android OS, despite the fact that both (phone and headset) have the same (propably) pins layout.
To sum it up:
- you can use mic/button in Galaxy 3 only with specific Samsung/Nokia/Sony headsets or using adapter.
- you can (try to) listen to music on 4 pin TRSR device using TRRS headset, but mic/button won't work, and sound most probably will be heavily distorted. And vice versa.
- you can listen to music without any problems using any 3 pin jack (no mic/button) in any 3 pin or 4 pin device.
- not sure about both of 4 pin jacks in 3 pin port.
For example Samsung Galaxy S had Samsung's proprietary port, Galaxy S2 has standard port. Life has just become easier
Hello guys
My original earphones were broken and I thought that it would be a good idea to try again samsung's but another model this time.So I went for galaxy's note earphones that I found at ebay which says that is fully compatible with i5800
The fact is that they don't work properly. Their sound is very "deep" and when you are listening music singer is inaudible.The weird thing is that if I press the button for accepting/ending calls the problem fixes.
At first I thought that if I did some kind of "patent" to keep the button pressed everything would be fine( I use earphones mainly for music and not for calls) but if I keep the button pressed when I insert the jack earphones are not detected.
Finally I contacted the seller who told me that the one that they sent me were broken and sent a replacement but those have also the same issue.
Has anyone else the same issue?Can I do anything to fix this problem or it is a matter of compatibility so nothing can be done?
It's all written in my post above. Galaxy S2, S3 and Note use standard headset jacks, while older devices, like ours, do not. You can use only special Samsung's (or other OEM) TRSR earphones, e.g. from i5800/i5801/i9000, to be able to use remote control button. Every headset without button will work as well.

Sorry mate don't get angry with me.I asked for further info because the name of earphones at ebay was "
GENUINE SAMSUNG WHITE STEREO HANDSFREE FOR i550 I5500 I5510 i560 I5700 I5800" but undoubtedly looks alike those of galaxy note.(forum don't let me post the link of the product)
So I was wondering whether it was a fixable problem or not
Cool, I'm a very calm person.
The seller most probably doesn't know about this issue, it's typical all over the world (sellers' lack of knowledge). That's what forums are for, since OEMs didn't want us to use headphones other than bundled ones in the first place (audio ports are much more unified nowadays, thankfully).
So the answer is: no, it's not fixable. The only way to use in-line button is to buy a specific headset that works properly with i5800 (bundled ones or other that are proven to be working with proprietary TRSR port).
Good luck.
Edit: Try EHS48ESOME.
ok then I have to go for the same ones that was provided with the phone although I wasn't satisfied with their quality.Sound was very good but I faced serious problems with the speaker and in order for the others to hear me I had to hold it near my mouth.
That was the reason why I decided to buy another model.Of course I didn't know that it wasn't compatible with my device
Anyway thank

Recently my headphone jack had a strong yank on it (headphone cord was stuck on something) and as a result the jack is now damaged and sound only comes out of one side of headphones/speakers plugged into it. At first I thought it was the headphones (I have had this happen to other headphones with other devices and this was the case) but upon testing the headphones themselves on my PC (they work) and other, working headphones on my phone (they have the exact same issue) I've been forced to come to the conclusion that my phone headphone jack.
Does anyone know what the cost of getting this fixed would be through manufacturer warranty? (The phone is under limited warranty).

You're much better off buying the part and replacing it yourself. You can buy the part for max at 10 dollars and it might even come up with the screwdriver to open up the phone. It's very easy to fix things yourself for the S3. Youtube "Samsung Galaxy S3 Disassembly & Assembly - Drop Test Repair" and that video shows you step by step how to take it apart and replace any part that you would need to.
So recently i noticed that my headphone jack doesn't work anymore. When i play sound, sound comes out of the speakers. But when i plug in my headphones, i can hear static when i'm wearing the headphones. I'm still not sure if the jack itself is broken or if there is a software issue. I want to make sure if it's really necessary to buy a new jack because i don't want to waste money and time ordering one...
Been there, done that

I had the same problem. Mine was caused by catching my headphone wiring on a chair as I walked by. I had to replace the headphone jack. The job is not bad. You will need a few special tools. I bought a 23 piece cell phone tool repair kit on eBay from a vendor[cenyonline on eBay] in China. Nice set of tools for $2.99 [including shipping] . Use the "how to tear down your Captivate" article & videos located here. See

I bought the headphone jack for $2.99 [with shipping] from vendor mega-shops on eBay.
FYI, problems with the speaker on common on Captivates. I replaced mine [$7 from vendor on eBay] to no avail. My problem turned out to be a bad connection of the ribbon cable for the speaker. That ribbon cable mounts onto the board which holds the SIM card and the microUSB card. I got that from another eBay vendor [vivid-own] for $3.59 including shipping from China.
Hey guys, had my HTC One M9 a month and a half now and have been using the earphones that came with it a lot. Yesterday on my evening jog the music randomly stopped and i realised that the earphones were no longer being recognised. I tried plugging them into a laptop and a galaxy tab and they were working fine but on my dads old HTC One M7 they also were not recognised. Old apple earphones and earphones for samsung galaxy both worked with the phone. After testing the the jack piece with a voltmeter my brother found that the mic ring was faulty and I came to the conclusion that the phone recognises earphone connection based on the mic sleeve ring.
I was wondering if there was anyway to bypass this detection so that i can get my earphones to work again, I have no need for the mic anyway so it's not such a big deal.
another question is whether or not standard non microphone earphones will work with the phone as I'm considering purchasing RP-HJE120K from Amazon and they don't have a microphone. I've also read that HTC's support CTIA, does anyone know if the OMTP standard is supported?
Thanks in Advance,
Jas
I have a pair of skullcandy headphones w/mic and they work great so i presume any will do.. Tbh there are better earphones out there at a reasonable price compared to the htc ones..

Hello guys,
I was a happy owner of a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera (aka Redmi Note 5 pro) for the past year, until now, when inexplicably my headphone jack stopped working (I should notice I'm usually extremely careful with my phone and nothing happened that justifies this besides normal use). I tested the headphones on other sources and they work perfectly.
My phone carrier refused to fix it with the warranty and demands an absurd fix price. I thought about ordering the connector board but I'm afraid that those 3rd party boards are just bad quality and will not last long (tried to do it on my Redmi Note 2 and two of the replacement boards broke soon after use...).
I might also ask those nonofficial repair shops but again I'm afraid that the end result will be worse than it is now...
So my question is: if I buy a USB DAC (in this case I'm thinking about the 20€ Sound Blaster PLAY!3), and connect it to the phone micro-USB port with an OTG cable will it work? Because this would be cheaper than actually fixing the headphone jack.
Also, I heard that on some software it might not work, I would buy it with the intent of using it for Spotify, Youtube and Neftlix.
Ps: I actually have a really good pair of headphones from Audio Technica so actually the sound quality boost would be welcome...
Thank you for your attention, Cheers
DACs are working fine for me Soundblaster G5 and G3 tho you can't control them like you can on PC. G3 is useless cause can't adjust gain and default is not loud enough... EQ on viper is working fine.
It's probably better to just buy a replacement board, I replaced my battery and it's just fine. It's possible that they have same sources for those boards as do sellers in AliExpress etc.
