I just bought a pair of Skullcandy Fix In Ear headphones. While Skullcandy is not a great brand I had store credit that was about to expire and decided to grab their best in ears. I just got them in yesterday and upon plugging them in to my S3 the right side ear bud is not working. I tried it out on my computer and it works great. So, my question is does anybody know how to fix this or if it is a common issue? I tried looking around and saw that skullcandy's are hit or miss but i didn't see anybody have an issue like this, most had issues with the volume rocker.
Do you use a case on your S3?
Is the headphone plugged in completely?
Do other headphones work properly with your phone?

I do have a Cruzerlite TPU case on it
I took the case off and plugged it in all the way to make sure that it wasnt working
I also tried having the plug partially out of the jack as I read that it will sometimes works in which case it would be a defect
Other headphones work including the other pair of skullcandy's i got.
Skullcandy has great warranty. Just ask for replacement. My s3 doesnt have problems with the factory ones nor the phillips in ear
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi

I have the exact same headphones. they don't work withmine either. back to using stock
You could try using an extension cable.
Since headphone cables usually break at the plug it might also help you to prolong their lifetime.
Since there is no general board or help board for Wave phones, im sorry that i have to post this here....
I just got a Wave 3 from this guy, and the phone is in perfect condition and everything....
But, if i connect my Sennheiser EARPHONES, or my Pioneer HEADPHONES, the phone COMPLETELY freezes. Display doesn't work, buttons dont work, i cant turn off the screen. Then everything returns to normal when i unplug them.
I have to plug them in and out 2,3 times sometimes in order for them to finally work.
Stock Samsung earphones dont have this problem, but they are awful and only one earpiece works.
On my previous android phones, i never had this problem.
Please help me, i use my phone primarily for music, and i like the bada music player a lot.
UPDATE:
I just found out that the STOCK earphones have 4 conductors, and my sennheiser earphones have 3 conductors
Could THIS BE the reason?
I added a picture.
try to flash to an other firmware or update via samsung kies.
maybe this is a bug in your rom...
How do i flash a bada rom? Is there a risk of bricking like Android?
I did a fw update via Kies yesterday, that did not fix the problem.

I didn't hear about someone who flashed his WAVE correctly and has problem..
Can you check do you have 4 conductor earphones? If you have 3 conductor earphones and you NEVER had this problem, then something is wrong with the phone.
Please check my picture for comparison

the freezing problem may be from software bugs.
If not, check your headphone jack input and aalso from other devices, check if something is different, also, its 2nd hand if i'm right? if so, it may be damaged, i dont know.

But dude, i tried 2 headphones/3 earphones:
Stock samsung 4-conductor earphones - no problems
Sennheiser 3-conductor earphones - freezing, 2-3 times plug in/out, works
Nokia 4-conductor earphones - no problems
Canyon 3-conductor headphones - freezing, 2-3 times plug in/out, works
Pioneer 3-conductor headphones - freezing, 2-3 times plug in/out, works
Ahh, i must sell them and get earphones with a microphone (4-conduct).....this is so stupid -_-

I don't know what to say... a friend of mine said that her sister had the same problem with her Wave 3.
I bought some 4-conductor earphones today, and they work good.

i have 2 of those 3 conductor (both skullcandy), and they work without freezing problems
ps: i use this kind of set (same model, just other color)
maybe its a problem with wave 3.
i use wave 1

In the end, its not really a problem, its just that wave 3 doesnt support 3-conductor very well. All 4-conductor ones work good. :good:
When i insert headphone jack into the connector of phone, it doesn't works. I tried plugging and unplugging many times, still doesn't works even cleaned the jack connector from inside. Does anyone have this kind of problem?

did you try using different headphones? And are you running stock or custom?
Hi I've got the same problem.
My headphones (brainwavz m1) aren't working with my phone. I'm running official firmware 15.4.A.1.9. The official sony headphones which i've got with package works without problem. I have this problem since previous update (about 10 june 2014 i think) i thought that it's software bug, and i had hope that they will fix it with next system update, but i was wrong. I restored fabric settings and it was fine for about 1 hour after that time the problem is still occurring.
Any ideas how to fix it? i'm thinking that's a system bug but i'm totaly green in this topic.
Same problem here.
Up until I was sticking with the original ROM (4.1) everything was fine and every headset worked (with/without mic, no matter the brand).
Now on 5.0 (Cyanogen) and only headsets with mic are working (again, no matter the brand).
It has to be a SW problem, but I have no idea where to start. Someone willing to investigate / explain?

Hey, I had a similar problem when first purchasing the phone. Some cables (CTIA) are not compatible therefore wont provide any sort of audio. Try to use headphones that work with the device (Sony ones will work).
Hope this helps
I just picked up my Tab3 a few weeks ago and just tried to use the 3.5m headphone jack, as soon as I plug it in the tab freezes and then reboots. Seeing if anyone else has had this issue, and if so any solutions?
Also it will not allow my BT headphone hear the phone media? Any ideas or solutions to that as well?
Notice the same thing it only happened when I used cheap headphones on my part tried tried some ear buds from s4 and never had a problem again.
Hi
I have a Galaxy S4 mini but when someone calls they cannot hear me but I can hear them. It does work when on Speaker phone and I guess this is due to the mic on the top of the phone is used for Speaker and the one at the base is used normally. I've checked and the mic hole hasn't any fluff in there and factory reset didn't work either. The phone was purchased off of ebay recently and i'll probably end up sending it back but wondered if there is a fix i hadn't heard about yet? Does anyone know if there is an app or a way that I can switch the primary mic from the base to use the working one at the top in all situations?
thanks.

Most probably you have problems with the mic itself and ain't fixable with just firmwares.
