Headphone Jack Problem - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone elses phone have a problem with their edge not recognizing headphones with the 2 ring plug? If I use a plug with 3 rings works fine. If I plug in a plug with 2 rings the phone doesn't acknowledge that they're headphones connected.

People cant here me when plugged into my aux

Ok so my gf just got the GSII and she is having a problem. She uses an aux cord in her car to plug in her phone so that it goes through the speakers. When she plugs this phone in and makes a phone call, the person on the other end cannot hear her, but she can hear the other end.
Has anyone seen this before and do you have any fixes????
THANKS!

I haven't really run into this situation, but I'd guess that when a 3.5mm plug is inserted in the phone (for the aux jack) the phone "assumes" it is a wired headset - so it is outputting call audio over that cord and into the car's sound system, and looking for audio input from a mic on that line (that doesn't exist, becuase it is just a patch cord to your head unit in the car). A couple options that I see if this is the case:
a) put the call on speaker phone - this will either put call audio on your end on the phone's external speaker or the car's stereo (not sure which) and the phone will take audio input from your end via the speakerphone's mic
b) get a bluetooth headset and use that for phone calls while plugged in.

OHHH I did not think about the speakerphone thing. Thats very strange though as im pretty sure android should know better....
But yeah she has a bluetooth but isnt a big fan of using them
Thanks for the suggestions
Another option - try a car dock cable. I think this makes call audio default to speaker, but I think it can be switched to "normal" mode.

[Problem] Headphone jacket broken?

Plugged in my phone yesterday to the car using aux and noticed that the sound was only in the right speaker.. So I first thought the cable had jumped out from the aux port, but that was wrong :/
Have tried both in the car, my headset, home cinema speaker and my computer speakers.
The problem is my 3.5 port. When I turn and wiggle the cable do I sometimes hear the left speaker "activate"
Warranty? Even if it's rooted?
Any other way to fix this?
you will need to restore stock rom for warranty, do the pins look ok inside?,left one is the tip, so you may need to hold it down or clean the connection.
I hear some users damage it by bending the connection when in their pocket.

[Q] Car aux-in not detected as headphones

Something weird is going on here.
I have just bought an aux-in cable (ai-net to 3.5mm jack) to plug my phone (Wiko Darkmoon, MTK 6582 based) to my car stereo (JVC G511), but the phone doesn't recognize when I plug in the jack.
However, if I turn up the volume on the car, I can hear music both from the phone speaker and from the car's.
What does this mean?
I tried also with my brother's Moto G, and it correctly plays music through the headphone jack, but with a quite low volume.
Can it be something software related? My phone has 4.2, my brother's has kitkat. Or maybe something is wrong with the cable's pinout? I opened one end of the cable and I see three wires, and this should be enough from what I got to understand.
Btw, my phone works okay with normal headphones

Google now popping up upon plugged in headset

Nearly every time I plug in my headphones (there's no mic on them), this thing pops up. It was a "meh" at first, but now it's plain annoying. Does anyone know how to stop this screen from popping up?
I had this problem on the LG G3 and G4 -- Google Now or Voice Control pops up intermittently when using headphones or an audio cable. Purchase a set of headphones with a mic. I also had to buy an audio cable / mic for my car. This solved the problem. Cheers.
I'm having same problem when plug it to my car using aux cable. But never has this issue when plug it to my bose via aux.. Probably because my bose aux cable has mic?
Same thing happens for me.
It acts like there is some static when the cable plugs in as I can get the same effect if I spin the plug and get static.
Settings --> Smart Settings --> Accessory --> "When earphones plugged in".....
I hope this helps.
I have that setting turned off and I still see where google now pops up when I plug/static with my headphones.
Hello, I have the same problem with Google Now opening everytime I plug in my earphones. Is there anyway to stop this happening? I have Smart Settings turned off. Thanks.
Try touching the end to something metal to ground it. Worked for me.
It seems it has something to do with cheap aux cable? My aux cable in my car is pretty cheap one, the other one that i use with bose soundlink, bought in Japan.

USB Dac in Car Tablet strange problem

I have an Android Tablet with Android 6.0 installed in my car. My car has a aux input in the factory stereo so I've connected the USB dac (pictured in the attachment) in the DC power USB hub that connects to the tablet using the OTG cable. I further split the output of the dac to seperate the Mic and Audio. Every time the tablet wakes up from sleep the DAC is detected but there is no sound i get a buzzing like sound. If i disconnect the USB completely and plug it back in then it works perfectly. I left it unplugged and plugged it in after the tablet wakes up then it works fine. But for some reason if it's plugged in to the USB before the tablet wakes up then it gives that problem. Does anyone know what the problem can be? I forgot to mention it's connect via a short USB extension. One thing I can possibly do as a work-around is cut the power to the USB extension and have some kind of delay on it so it doesn't start up straight away when tablet wakes up.
Also, I have a high gain car mic connected to the mic side of the splitter but the mic just doesn't seem to work although the mic works when i try the DAC and same setup on my Samsung S20+.
Any help and suggestions would be great. Thanks
