Hey Guys, So...
My Sony headphone which came with the phone accidentally was cut.
So write now I have my old Galaxy Pocket's headphone cus I can't afford to buy a decent headphone right now,
The problem is when I press the button on the headphone it just controls the volume, Nothing more.
Is there anything I can do to change what that button does, like just the original Sony's.
pls guys help me,
and thanks in advance.

So? I mean if the headphone button connects the first pin with the second then both headphones should do the same thing, I guess each headphone button connect different pins, it's not about swapping first and second pin

According to one source the volume buttons are referred to the ground pin and the play/pause button to the microphone... mind you, this contradicts what I've always known (that buttons apply different resistances in parallel to the mic)

IF that's the problem you could try a CTIA to OMAP adapter... as said, I'm not sure that's the actual problem.

I'm sorry but what does that even mean, I just want when I press the headset button it pauses/plays the Walkman.
I think Someone on the Galaxy SII forums mentioned Something about that : /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl.
Maybe if I change a thing or two on this file something would happen ????

Oh, that file (and others in the same folder) have the hardware button mappings... if the phone tells apart the buttons and just does the wrong actions you can remap them there!

When I tried to call somebody I couldn't hear anything and when i want to turn on the speaker it doesn't respond. But when i listen on headset it still works... Can anybody help me?
Normally, this could be that the phone still thinks that the headset is still plugged in. There is a sensor at the headset input... Just try plugging it in and out(there a few threads about this BTW, just have to for it)...

Hey i'm new to here....but i will get straight to the problem..
i been having problems with my mic, the one in the top. I thought it was a software issue but it was not because i tried flashing lots of stock roms but still didn't work...my other mike is working fine...but when i turn the speaker on the phone uses the mic in the top, and when video catting also the phone uses the top mic, so i cant do anything so my question is that is there any way to set my second mic to be used for everything...like for video chatting on skype and tango, instead of using the mic on top, can the mic in the bottom be used?? is it possible to set the lower mic to be used for everything?? hope someone will help me thank you!
please somebody help me please
I don't know the answer to your question, but dude, you gotta wait longer than a couple hours before whining.
This is a development forum, not a tech support forum. No one is paid to sit around watching for support request posts. People answer posts of their own free will, on their own time.
EDIT: actually, I'm curious now. You say you're having issue with your top mic. Do you have a case on the phone? If so, does the case have an opening for the top mic? If so, are you sure the mic opening is clear of debris?
i'm sorry.... no its doesn't have any case or anything...and its clear...i even tried to put a small pin into it to see if there is anything stuck inside it, but their was nothing

Exactly what is the problem you are having with the upper mic anyways? You never say.
I don't know of any mods that will re-route all mic functions of the upper mic to the lower one... So if the upper mic is simply not functioning, it sounds like it could be hardware fault.
Your only option may be to send it for repair. Since you say you tried flashing a bunch of ROMs, you'll have to flash back to stock and reset your flash counter if you want any hope of warranty coverage. Otherwise you'll be paying for the repair job.

May or may not work, and will only work until a reboot, at which point he'd have to do it again.
If he has warranty, he should send it in. Otherwise, he could crack the case open and inspect the top mic to see if the rubber housing is seated properly. It might be partially blocking the mic.
thanks for trying to help guyss....i did try that before but it didnt help at all

So send it in for repair (hopefully warranty covered), or try to do phone surgery yourself. Those are really your only options.
I have exactly the same issue. Top mic is not working and even replacement of the board with mic, vibro-motor and mini-jack did't helped. I've realised that the problem is with a condensator or a chip on the main board. I also would like to find the modification wich can change top mic to the lower one. Please, if anyone knows how to do it, let me know.
Hello,
I have a major problem with my lower microphone (on the USB flex board), the microphone does not register much sound at all (very faint sounds are possible if you scream as loud as possible into the microphone directly).
I have replaced the USB flex board (properly, everything is connected correctly and the USB port works perfectly), but the microphone is exactly the same...
Anyone have any ideas? It seems a couple of people have similar issues, has anyone found a fix yet?
Also, does anyone perhaps have any ideas about how to force the top microphone (speaker phone mic) to engage as the active microphone during regular voice calls? I am 100% sick of using speaker phone for every voice call, especially considering I need to make private/confidential calls for work :\
and yes, I have removed the rubber housing as well and tested it without it, it makes zero difference.
Youve tried to repair it on rhe cheap and failed.Maybe take it to a repair shop and get it done properly.
And from your other thread,the spare one I have here has part no gt-i9100 rev2.2(so maybe the one you bought is still faulty )

So you've followed me to my thread because I made a post you didn't like in another thread, and offered complete shinfo.
Please, do not post again.
I am a fourth year EE student, I know how to replace a minor circuit board correctly.
Anyone who has any real advice, specifically about whether or not this may be some form of software issue, and with regards to my question about using the other microphone in voice calls, please let me know.
My mistake-I thought I was replying to a poster named Bodurr as he made a couple of threads about mic problems aswell.
He replaced the board and its still not working.
And I see what you mean about the other thread-I can assure you I never twigged it was you.
Anyway,if you require help,its advised to state what rom etc your running.That way someone could say "if your rooted make a nandroid backup then flash stock rom and see if problem persist".

I'm using rootbox ICS rom version 1.7, android 4.0.4 with siyah kernel v3.4.
Have made a nandroid backup and reflashed to stock a couple of times (including stock kernel and then CF root kernel) and nothing makes any difference.
The issue started whilst on gingerbread and has now carried on to ICS...
I'm seriously completely stumped and have no idea what is causing it :\
I've had a quick look and its advised to test using voice recorder to eliminate a hardware issue.
Other thing mentioned was to change audio values(but maybe need to be on GB to access and change values in the *#197328640# menu.
I don't know if you've done this already.

Just tested again with voice recorder (first time I have done this since swapping the USB flex board) and it's exactly the same issue.
There is SOME sound, but you need to have the volume on full with your ear right against the speaker to hear it, and it's still very faint like that.
What a bizarre issue, it seems no-one knows how to fix it either :\

Did you ever find a solution to this? I too had usb/battery problems so changed my flex to very simalar rev2.2 but only to have the same mic problems

experiencing exactly the same issue, replaced the USB flex and now have no microphone pickup on voice calls / voice recorder apps.
using ICS so not got the service mode audio options available (says BLOCKED)
don't know where I've gone wrong? maybe the part wasn't exactly right? I got it from here > http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251069751004
Heres someone that lists a seller and he says he has no problems.
Same here

Yeah, got the solution. It's actually the board/flex cable itself. Took me three boards to find that out. There is a lot of b-ware boards on eBay that were actually thrown out by Samsung because they did not pass QC. Just get a genuine spare part and your mic will be fine.

damn, i got the same then... its gonna be hard to get a proper board... I was thinking maybe, it had some kind of security by solder like lasers...
There's a little difference between 2.2 and 2.3, a single resistor, could it be?
Also, can't connect USB in Mass storage...

Hmm some people are saying 2.3 won't be compatible. Was your phone originally 2.2 or 2.3? Also how do I tell if it is genuine? If it says oem?
Why wouldn't it be compatible. A higher revision number usually suggests that something has been improved. BTW I initially had a 2.2 sub circuit board, now it's 2.3.
Well the new board should look like the old one. I think I took a picture the day I switched my board out. I'll try too find it later.

I'm looking at two 2.3 models. One seems teal colored the other is a dark blue. Which one is the oem? Actually which color is yours?

The second one looks just like mine. But the OEM part actually comes with a grey mic enclosure. Make sure your part comes with it.

thnx bro am already do that as you say but i have Q is the service code can fix it
Four different sets used already and flashed stock so default settings already set. Depends were you are. Me I would go to local shop and get a good price from there. But ebay is cheap. I dont trust it though. No service code will fix hardware mate
I9100/I9300
I have this problem too, went through two sets of headphones, one new phone and one replacement part and the problem still happening In order to make it work I have to jiggle the connection in the phone till the sound comes on, then it will randomly just stop, no sound or it will just be crackly
Bad connection that is. Wiggle said it all. Replace or have the port looked at.

Hi, I'm planning to buy this phone but I've got a question.
Can you switch songs though holding down the volume up/down button while the phone is locked?
This is quite crucial to me, since my old Oneplus One got this feature but my current phone, the Honor 7X doesn't and it annoys me a lot e.g. while driving.
I'd be thankful if someone could test this for me since I didn't find any mentioning of this in the reviews I read/watched.
Thank you in advance :highfive:
Surely, there must be an app in PlayStore that can do this?

Probably not. I am AMAZED that pocket skip is still not standard.
But don't worry, first thing I will do when I get my Poco and unlock it is to make this mod (via Magisk probably so OTA is still simple), like I have always done in the past

Wait, That's sounds like too much work. Why don't you use Headphone buttons to change the songs. My ordinary headphones has only one button but I can still Single press to Play/Stop and Double press to change the songs. Surely there are better designed headphones that can do more?

What if headphones don't have any button at all ? (without mic headphones)
I almost never use headphones, but when I do, it's no problem to just look at my phone and choose the next song. The irritating part is that I simply can't do that while driving :silly:.

That's the case, I connect my phone to my car's stereo through aux (simple cord with no buttons) and place my phone down next to me. The most convenient way to switch songs while driving was to feel for the volume buttons on my phone and hold them down.
So I guess this phone can't do that natively. With my Honor 7X, some roms brought this feature with them. I think even flashing AOSP enabled this feature for me but I'm sticking with the default rom for the battery life.
Thanks for your answers and looking forward to a solution :fingers-crossed:
