Hi Guys,
I have some queries egarding S3, would be great if some may share his/her inputs or feedbacks. I am sure that it would be of help to other members too who would like to know the same.
1) How is the Bluetooth Sound Quality. Its bad in SII but i have seen that S3 has APT-X codex support for lossless audio but in practical, does it really help ?? i mean is the sound quality over bluetooth good.
As currently iam using a Sony MW600 with SII but at higher volumes the audio distort.
2) I have been searching in multiple unboxing video and review videos but no one actually opened the S3 stock headset.
All i know is that the headset does have play/pause , call end/answer and volume up/down buttons.
But i would like to know if the headset is capable of changing the tracks (prev/next) as well.
3) Will the same MHL cable work in S3 which i have for S2. I mean is the cable electrically compaltible ??
4) Will the Same USG OTG cable work which i have for S2 ??
5) Have read in Chainfire thread that Samsung has changed the Kernel Package, so will the USB Jig that i have for S2 work on S3.
Any or all answer on the above queries would be deeply appreciated and would thank in advance for replying.

No, it can't change tracks. I think there was an app on the Play store for that though.

Yes, I bought one a few days ago which was advertised as a S2 OTG cable. Works fine.
MHL and USB OTG cables that worked with the S2 will work with the S3 (I tried OTG when I had hands-on about ten days ago, MHL should work as it is a connection standard).
Apt-X will sound the same as wired up to ~370kbps for stereo sound, I tested that too. Couldn't discern a difference in my brief testing.
Thanks member68 and NZtechfreak. Now i someone can confirm if the USB JIG from S2 will work in S3 would be gr8....
Oh, very annoying - MHL connectors DO NOT in fact work. So much for it being a connection standard, Samsung have made one specifically for the S3... Sorry about the information above, I am very surprised by this turn of events...

aptX is not lossless. There are four types of aptX codec: aptX®, aptX Enhanced®, aptX Live®, and aptX Lossless®. The aptX codec being used in new bluetooth devices is just aptX® which is a lossy codec, not aptX Lossless® as some others think.
aptX® is definitely an improvement over ad2p, but it is not lossless like I mentioned earlier.

With some help of additional apps from market (like Jays Headset Control for instance) will give you the ability to finetune button actions, like triple press for previous track. But you can freely configure single, double, tripple, press'n'hold, double press'n'hold, ... Although it is intended to be used with Jays A-Jays One, I use it with Jays A-Jays Four, and works with stock headset too and also with HTC headsets ... will probably work with any headset maybe. And it's free.

Hello
Is it possible to use more than one bluetooth device at the same time with the Galaxy S2?
I want to use the Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth headphone socket AND the Sony Ericsson Liveview.
Will connecting both devices work? Will I lose connection quality by doing this?
Probably, as far as i know only the headset uses the audio profile, so it shouldn't interfere.

Well only the headset outputs sound, but I think both the headset and the liveview can change music volume / skip tracks etc.
This Youtube video should be able to answer your questions

I don't know what language that is in, I can't understand it.
What does it say? Why would you give me a non-English video?
bump thread
I don't understand the language either, but just watching it made me understand that it can handle multiple devices at the same time. Can't really answer for if your devices will work though.
Hmm yes the video does seem to show multiple devices working.
I will keep waiting for specific replies for my devices, if anyone knows.

-Nokia purity had and inear
Interesting. you tried a single type of headset and say that none will work.
fyi: there are more thao 2 headsets on the market.
There are multiple methods to connect those cables. Samsung uses another method as Apple. Neither have invented their particular method and are hardware-wise incompatible.

If i use the headphones which came with my S1 with the S3 the sound is awful! They just seem not to be compatible with the S3.
Can anybody confirm that? Hope it is not a S3-hardware problem...
Hi guys,
Is it possible to record via the 3.5mm headphone socket of the Galaxy SII via a cable?
Answers would be appreciated!
Thanks!
I think you can record via headphones mic.
I dunno you can always try and see if it works

Thanks for your reply!
I have tried just using the standard sound recorder app but all I get is recording through normal mic.
Yes, you can do this. I suspect your problem is in your PCs mixer setup. If you are using Windows, different versions have different ways of getting there, but typically thru Control Panel, Sounds & Audio Devices. Select Mixer Device: audio input for your sound card. You will get a set of controls for each input device. You can select the one you want to use and adjust its volume. I suspect you may be set to use line input but connecting to mic or something like that. It's easiest to check if you use a microphone and audio source (e.g., CD player) for "test" sources and playing with controls til you get recording ok. Then plug you mobile into the same jack.
Good Luck.

I believe the question was about recording ON the phone, not FROM the phone...

Yup, I want to record on the phone, from the stereo.

I don't suppose anyone has anything else to add to this thread? It would be really useful if I could get the phone recording audio input through it's headphone jack...

Frankly, I don't need it, but just out of curiosity I tried using the standard voice recorder with a mic on a stock headset, and it worked perfectly. So, as long as you have a mic properly connected to your audio socket, you should be all good to go. "Regular" mic will not work, as it has a different connector pinout. Basically, your 3.5mm jack wiring should be like this (starting from the tip, going towards the cable): L-Out | R-Out | GND | Mic. This is the standard pinout used in most phones, including Sammy. On Nokia handsets and some old phones GND and Mic are reversed.
Excuse my bumping, but surely someone has a definitive answer and doesn't mind sharing it with me?

Did you read my previous post? I thought I was quite specific about my test, and even gave you the pinout for the mic...

Sorry, I was posting from my phone!
Thanks very much, your response is very helpful!
I will investigate getting the right cable!
EDIT---
Seems that I would only be able to record in mono that way... So not fit for my purpose
Thanks for all the help guys!

Oh, that's what you are trying to do... OK, it's clear now. In this case, the answer is most definitely negative -- the phone's audio connector only has a microphone mono input. I don't believe such combo connectors (with stereo out and stereo in) even exist in 3.5 mm standard... I personally have never seen one, or heard of it.
Hi,
To cut the long storhy short, i am looking for a good non-OEM headset that has seprate volument controls. Its surprising that we hardly nhave any heanrodi compatable headsets with seprate volumen buttons from makers like Senn..,JAys etc..
Thanks to Jellybean, we are no longer able to use "long press option" and there is no good workaround also for that.. iPhone head sets also not working as + and - buttons are not recognized on adnroid..
Please suggest a workaround for a normal headset or a good quality bass output headset please..
I am using rootbox JB4.2.2 rom on a Galaxy note 2 (N7100) phone.
Sony MH1C? However before buying check the Head-Fi topic regarding it, buy afaik it works.

Hi, is there any way to connect two Bluetooth speakers and play music on them at the same time like in a Galaxy S8/S9? And if not, can I get this feature via some mods?

Maybe. You can be connected to two Bluetooth devices at the same time. Music from both I'm not sure about.
I was talking about music from both. This feature found in Galaxy S8/S9 is pretty amazing and I thought V30 will have it too. Are there any mods to get this?

I was curious so I just tried with two identical Bluetooth speakers. I can connect to both easily, but I have to choose one or the other for music playback. Can't do both simultaneously.
If you really had to, you could get a Bluetooth splitter like the ones made by TaoTronics. I have one that lets me connect two pairs of BT headphones simultaneously, so I'm sure it would work with 2 speakers.
