I've got this strange thing. When I plug the samsung earphones (or any other with a mic, tested 3 of them) my sound sounds like i'm under water (music, radio app, fm radio) . When I use normal earphones the sound is good. Is anyone else experiencing this aswell? And does anyone know what is causing it and how to fix it?
I tried the same on my Lenovo business laptop and experience the same problems (so it's not a device thing). Also, when I pull out the plug a little bit the sound is perfectly fine but the plug won't hold like that in my pocket
Any help here?

This used to happen to me with my sgs1. Because the sgs1 is wired differently to iPhone etc.
That was changed for sgs2.
If you are sure youre not using older sgs1 earphones then my guess is they are faulty or you got the wrong set with your sgs2.

Okay thanks for the tip. I'll try it when I'm at home. Used samsung and sony ericsson earphones now. But I'm not sure if the samsung earphones are the ones delivered with my S2.

either you are using an incompatible headset with mic, or your wire in the mic is damaged, if the support wire in a headset is cut then it will happen.

Well on any headset with a mic. You have 3 bands on the 3.5mm jack. 1 for the left, 1 for the right headphone and 1 band for the mic. The order of these 3 bands does vary hence your loss in sound. Try a few different headsets to find the one that works perfectly for you.
I hope that helped you!

Exactly. The sgs1 had these wired up in a different order to iPhone etc, and sgs2 changed to be compatible. Resulting in that underwater type sound.

Usually the mic band is in the middle. No clue what its on the SG1 and SG2. The sound sounds like it is in the distance. Which means that the circuit is not complete. Underwater sounds sound way are way clearer than listening to them normally (less resistance)

hi,
already asked this on the official sony-erricson forum but no response, so maybe someone here can help....
has anyone managed to connect an external microphone to the x10 for video recording? maybe with some kind of self-made adapter?
not talking about hands-free sets but rather a more "professional" recording microphone.
i already tried to connect various external microphones (active and non-active) to the phone but then i only get statics / clicking noises.
reason i'm asking is i took a video at a concert but the sound is clipping really bad... really a shame especially with upcoming 720p recording....
(maybe another solution would be if it was possible to adjust the sound recording level... any app for that?)
It should be possible to add an external microphone. You probably will need a homemade adapter. The headphone/microphone jack is a TRRS connector (tip, ring, ring, sleeve). Check Wikipedia for TRS. The "pinout" is listed there.

So if you just plug the handsfree in with and/or without the headphones as well, it records audio (voice memo and video)?

yes, you can use the hands-free (with or without the headphone part) as a microphone when recording video... quality is a little better than the internal microphone but still not really good...

thank you argnom... . now i know what to search for..
there seem to be some adapters for the iphone that split the trrs connector into seperate microphone/headset connectors... maybe i will try one of these... or is the wiring different on the x10 from the iphone?

edit: think i found the one i need (IF the wiring is the same as for the iphone...)

I really don't know if the wires are in the same order... I suppose they should be.

Has anyone got an external microphone working with the HTC One X. I have bought and adapter and a microphone but its still not working at all. Any help would be appreciated.
When I'm in my car listening to music through my note I'm always having a problem with getting the most out of my car speakers
For example: (I have equalizers btw) ill dim the volume on the phone but raise the car volume
Sometimes its better or worse when you raise the phone volume all the way and handle it wig the car speakers
Although the lower the phone volume he more, "clear" from the speakers -but not as loud
SO WHAT DO U GUYS DO TO ADJUST YOUR MUSIC

Just have a stock radio in car. No amps or anything but the stock is a decent unit for my needs. I turn the phone about 90% up then adjust from the car unit. Sound is always good for me. I'd say experiment and see what works for you. Don't forget to try an equalizer on and off from the phone. It's really a personal taste thing in my view.
I max out the volume on the note and adjust through the car speakers. I'm having to use an FM transmitter also, as my '05 doesn't have aux in. Still, it sounds great. Even better once i flashed the Beats eq.

In this case your phone is essentially a pure amp while your head unit is the power amp. Even at Max volume, your phone shouldn't be distorting the volume output. You want it all the way or nearly all the way up to allow as much headroom as possible for your power amp. You also don't want to re eq an eqd signal. Decide whether you like your phones or your stereos eq better, and set the other flat. You'll almost always have to tweak a bit further as line in mp3 will have different sound characteristics as a CD or the radio. Also, for the love of God, don't use 128kbps songs like most people.

The one thing I'm trying to figure out is engine noise.
Anyone else getting that or even know what I'm talking about?
if I have my phone plugged into my via head phone jack and nothing is playing on it, you hear a high pitch noise that fluctuates according to the rpms of the engine.
Would be awesome if there was an app to white noise it out or something, haven't checked though.

Do a search on 'inline noise suppressor'. This might help. You could also look at moving the radio's ground wire to a different location and might solve your noise.

After looking that up, I have determined that is not the solution for me. I'm dealing with a factory, stock car aux setup, it shouldn't be giving me problems and as a matter of fact my prior iPhone 3g didn't have this problem at all. I believe this happens with two cars that I've used it in, so while it is related to the car and specifically the engine's RPMs, I believe this can be fixed via the phone for the following reason:
When I push the back button on the phone while it's plugged in it will briefly silence the noise, also when I play Pandora the noise only appears between songs, and no it's not still there being covered up, I would be able to distinguish it in the music.
Anyway, hope someone had another fix for this. Could potentially be a hot selling app if you could figure it out.

what else has changed besides the phone? the charger perhaps? where do you keep your phone? do you keep your phone on it's charger while you listen to it via your stereo?
I run a satilite radio in my truck that runs through an aux line I installed and I get engine noise for a couple of reasons. My aux line isn't heavy duty and sits next to my firewall and effected by the EMI of my engine. The power cable isn't shielded and doesn't have any in line suppression so it's effect from the truck alternator, no matter how clean the signal is, varries as your engine's RPMs move. I run into the same issues with my phone, all of this is in a Sierra Denali truck with a Bose system and also occurrs in my BMW. So no matter how much you paid for a vehicle, it still can be a factor.
So try an inline noise suppressor, they're like $10 at radio shack and if it doesn't work take it back.
You'd be surprised of the effects electricity and EMI will do to your audio.

Hey,
So I got a new pair of headphones today (Shure Se215's) and I have a major issue with them connecting to my Galaxy sII.
The headphones work perfectly in other devices and I have never had any trouble with other headphones in my own phone.
However with these new headphones the jack seems dodgy. It only gives full sound (not switching between mono and stereo, just tinny as ****) when on the right angle. So right now I cant use them together without constantly holding the cable in the right position.
One similar thing which I have noticed is that connecting an AUX cable has always been dodgy too. The phone will not pick up that it is plugged into an aux cable (Car or home stereos) until I wiggle and jam it in and even then it takes a few seconds if it works at all.
Any help would be great! I have done a lot of searching on here and around the web and haven't found any issues quite the same as mine.
I'm not scared to open up the phone and play with hardware if people think it is necessary.
Cheers

OK. So I have looked ALL over the forums and interwebs and I haven't found anything that relates to the problem i'm having!
I have had my S2 for almost 2 years and it has never failed me. Let's say about a year ago I was using my official samsung headphones when the right side stopped working. Considering that it could be the phone's problem I used the headphones in other devices (inclusing pc) and realised that the headphones had the same problem, right side was dead.
So, I tried my sister's headphones (official), worked great for about a week, then the same happened. Right headphoned died!
Then I bought some similar headphones, worked great for 2 days, then....caput! Right side dies!!!
I have tried settings, looking inside audio jack, fiddle around with headphone cable. I HAVE NO CLUE!
Is anyone finding this a problem? Has it happened to anyone else? Is this a common problem with the S2?
I am running Android Jellybean 4.1.2.
I am not rooted and I don't want to take my phone apart. I'm starting to think the S2 is eating away at headphones in general, only the right side.
Thanks in advance!
I've used the stock earphones and a better quality Sony pair....and I'm also using a mod that significantly increases overall volume and bass etc........and so far, my earphones seem to be surviving......when you were using these earphones, did you notice any significant difference in the sound balance between left and right?
Edit......
Just a question......
With the stock earphones, you have the main (single) cable between the plug and the mic.....and then from the mic, you have a short left cable and a long right cable......were the other earphones you used of the same design, or were they the more traditional type where the left and right cables are the same length?

Nope! Sound quality was perfect every time. Settings were set to stereo and never had to change the equaliser. All earphones would work flawlessly in any music player, video player, youtube...etc. Then quite randomly they would lose sound in the right earphone and never work again on that side in any device. That's 4 sets of headphones I have gone through that have all broken in the same way. I haven't touched a damned thing!
Do you have your earphones in your pocket? Maybe the cable just breaks. Had this a couple of times.

The stock earphones cost maybe $2 to manufacture. I think that might have a lot more to do with it than the phone itself.

Yes. That is a factor I have taken into account. But the headphones have always been wrapped neatly and never bent. It's strange how it only seems to lose audio on the RIGHT side earphone though.

Are u using the headphones for a lot of things? ( I mean not just your phone) If that is the case, try using the headphones ONLY with your phone and laptop, i've had some problems before like this when i plugged my headphones to my friend's phone and those mini tv things on the bus.

ALL headphones I had were only ever used for the phone! I have great headphones for laptop so the phone ones were never needed.
Then there may indeed be a problem with your phone, maybe it short-circuits or something, you can try s2 nuke from hawkerpaul: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100558
If this doesn't solve the problem,it's probably hardware and there is nothing you can do, give it to a samsung center.
Don't wait anymore
After going through the OP and ALL the replies, I just want to second the opinion that it is indeed a hardware problem specific to your device only.. So try not to put the fifth pair of headphones in, just visit your nearest Samsung service centre and I am sure they will know how to go about your problem..
My headphones don't work. The bundled noice canceling headphones do work, but any of my regular headphones don't. I've tried to switch the setting to "other device" from the Noice cancel.../Microphone/Other setting, turningn the phone off etc. They worked a couple times yesterday, but today, nothing happens.
Anyone else got this? How to fix it?
Sony has proprietary technology on this, it only works with the included earphones (from what I heard), but don't worry I am sure someone will find a modification to allow it to work with ALL earphones sooner or later, this is XDA after all.

I tried from sound settings. Set device to 'other'. No luck.
This started when I played around with the two headphone sets. Tried to determine the quality of the NC ones. They both worked then, but it was inconsistent with the 4-pinned ones. Then the phone stopped recognizing it.
And would really appreciate if you could try some 4 pin ones!

Are they 4 pins or 3 pins? With a mic?

I havent tried 4 pin ones but i will give it a go today, have you tried switching NC off and then using the other headphones. may be its something to do with NC only being compatible with Sony headphones??

Did you try it?
I guess my options are to try the headphones to another Z2 or try to find other 4-pin headphones. I've already contacted Amazon, and they're willing to send me a new device. Nice service.
@SuperMarioGalaxy Yeah I just tried another pair and it works fine.
Update: I tried some other 4 pin headsets, the other wasn't supported (notification came up), the other produced sound but really quiet. They were both for Nokia, which has different standards I think.
I still see this as a definite fault with the phone as the headphones worked just fine at first and they work with other devices.
