Can't take calls on wired headphones? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I have the following issue on a GT-I9300, stock rom, not rooted on Orange Romania carrier:
listening to music on wired headphones Sennheiser ie8i, everything is ok, then when receiving a call I hear the caller for one second then the headphone icon disappears and the conversation is switched to phone and all I can do is to get the headphones out and put them back to have the conversation in my heaphones & headphones microphone.
Should I mention this heaphones have the standard iphone remote on wire and work flawlessly on my other phone (HTC One X).
I've tried to search the forum but didn't found anything similar, so bear with me please. Thank you!

Did you make sure the headphone is fully inserted into the headphone jack? Mine works perfectly after I pushrd it still the way in

Yep, pushed all the way it goes... Needless to say that music I listen to its clean and powerful stereo. When call starts, I hear a second of the conversation, then headphone icon disappears form status bar and conversation is switched to phone. Even after that, if I push play again, the music starts in the phone speakers. I have to pull the headphones and insert again in order to work.
Its kind of disappointing, because I am more like a HTC guy and switched to S3 for the very reason of superior audio quality.

Hello,
I have the same problem (not evern hear the caller for sec) with my Sennheiser mm30i and Klipsch s4i, which both work fine on HTC desire and S2.
Kind regards,
Ron

it seems that for what it worth HTC android phones are more compatible with iphone type headphones than Samsung. I still hope that this is merely a software problem and some developer will look into it. I use now latest Omega (34).

[Q] I can't use my regular earphone during calling

I just got my thunderbolt today. However, I can't call to somebody by using regular earphone (if you do, you'll hear the other person's voice but the other person can't hear you). If you use the earphone with mic attached, you can do it. However, I'd like to plug it into my car speaker (AUX cable) so there is no mic attached there. Sometimes, I like listening to music from the car, so when somebody call, I just answer and the voice will come through the car speaker while I use the phone mic to reply. My other phone (HTC HD2 and HTC Tilt) work with this method. The only thunderbolt won't work. Do you have any idea about this?
Thank you very much

My last phone did it, but it too was WinMo. May be an OS thing, and not hardware?
It is not OS thing. I ran Android on my HD2 and it worked fine. I have no idea about this problem.
I know that method works just fine on the dinc. I do it all the time with mine. I really hope there is a fiz to that. I loved being able to talk "hand free" while hooked up to the car stereo.

I noticed that too. I dont like it. I was hoping that I was doing something wrong.

Notifications through speaker when headphones/BT connected

Does anyone else have this problem? For example, while driving and connected to my A2DP headunit, if I get a message from WhatsApp, it'll play through the speaker on the phone and my car speakers. Or if my headphones are connected, the refresh noises from Twitter/Pulse news will also play through the speaker.
Can someone just check if this happens?

Not getting u properly
Well if you have your headphones connected, will some sounds on the phone still play though your speaker?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
This is a REALLY simple test. Someone please, for the love of god, plug in your headphones and try to update Twitter or something. See if the noise plays through the speaker.
Wow, I'm amazed at how unhelpful some people can be.

After your last comment im pretty sure that less people will want to help. And its normal when you have something external hooked up wheteher bt or 3.5mm jack to external speakers for sound to play externally.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
I have the same issue. While I'm listening to songs, if I get a notification, or even if I take a picture on the stock camera, the shutter sound goes through the speakers. It's pretty annoying if you're listening to something loudly on a public place. Anybody know how to fix?
Hello Forum,
just get this thread back, because i need that feature
Lemme explain:
My Galaxy S2(XXLSJ leaked), is connected into JVC bluetooth car Audio device, which supports incoming notifications from phone.
In the past, with my old Nokia 5800 C6 ported, when i get a SMS, on the dual din screen of my JVC appears a message about new SMS received, and remais there until i read on the phone or touch on it into display.......
Is this feature be possible with a mod on a leaked XXLSJ Rom?
Thanks for helping and answering you Masters

Is it possible to disable auto mute?

My wife just picked up a new Galaxy Note on AT&T. We quickly discovered that when something is plugged into the headphone jack the phone mic is automatically muted. After discussing with Samsung regarding this they in fact have confirmed that because the device comes with headphones that have an inline mic the phone auto mutes when something is in the headphone jack.
So unlike our iPhone 4s when we are plugged into her cars AUX input for the purposes of listening to music we have to UNPLUG in order to take a call. Not mention if we have headphones in that don't have an inline mic we have to unplug the headphones to talk.
This seems EXTREMELY stupid to me. Is it at all possible to disable the auto mute. Samsung says no. I was told this is the place to go for a definitive answer.
its not being muted... its just in headphone mode thats the issue and idk why samsung does this its stupid. htc's handsets dont do this ither
Is there a way to make it NOT do that???
I know exactly the feature you are referring to. You might look for an app in the market, I don't know but I think the short answer is it needs to be built into the kernel. This probably won't happen until source for ICS is released and then a dev will include it in a build. Search the market for an app and tell us if you find something.

i dont think its a software issue i think its how it is actually wired inside the device. this also happened on the nexus s but not the first nexus by htc
That's weird, I was having Bluetooth connection problems and was using my aux port to stream Pandora and my phone range and I took the call and had it still hooked to my aux port and they could here me fine.
My Bluetooth was off this last time but I have done it a.couple times that I remember.
I'll try tomorrow again

AT&T Model = has EARPHONES with in-line pic ????
I got mine 3 weeks ago - new one , and the BOX was opened in frount of me @ ATT STORE ............... didnt have ANY EARPHONE!!!
So when I called the 800 Number > got told the same thing ( as whats on Website) .......... NO EARPHONE !!!
So I am using the earphone from my older INFUSE < works fine with inlinemic and NOPE dont get mute thingie) I have also tested with ZAGG BUDS; DR ONES - msot expensive ones - NONE OF THEM DO that 'mute' thingie - atlreast not on my NOTE (( rooted , unlocked and back to stock att though at the moment - ready for trade to s3))
So I suspect that the Earpiece here is not the correct one for phone
Mine came with beats earphones

Mine doesn't mute the mic when headphones or my car's aux cable is plugged in either. And headphones were removed from the AT&T release.
I talk on my phone in my car while aux cable plugged in all the time. I don't have mute problem at all. Not only aux cable but I use my Bose headphones without inline Mic and they work fine too.

My mic works in my car with the sound going through the stereo.

[Q] MagicJack issue

Just tried out the MagicJack app on my Prime, amazing sound quality over WiFi! Thing is, when I have my headphones plugged in the person on the other end can't hear me. I have to unplug the headphones and use the built in mic. Luckily I was trying it out at home, but it wouldn't be useful when I'm on th road.
I used Skype and know the headphones are working, but would like for it to work with MagicJack too
I think this an error on how magic Jack works. The prime does not support in-line microphones.

No audio during calls except speaker phone

Like I said, I'm suddenly not getting any audio during calls but the other person can hear me. But audio does work if I put it on speaker phone. I am rooted & tried all my backups & even installing fresh new ROMS which is leading me to believe it is a hardware problem. I used the headphone jack a lot this weekend to plug into my home stereo if that could have anything to do with it. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks
