Just bought yesterday my galaxy tab!
but I have a trouble... I connect the headphones that came with the galaxy and nothing happens. I want to hear some music, to use it during a call and it uses the speakers all the time. Is there an option for it? What may be wrong? My father also has one galaxy tab and the problem is the same, nothing happens!

The headset jack is very stiff (maybe because of the microphone + earplugs + switch combo), you must ensure it's pushed all the way into the hole (wiggle it gently and it will finally get there). I had the same problem, it only takes a couple of tries and then it's all fine afterwards.

Hi, I have this earphones set with mic built in do not work with the Tab? They do work with the iphone so i know the mic works, the earphones work great with music, I can hear the callers voice but they cant hear me? Is there something I need to do? Like download the voice app for navigation??
Gracias amigos!!!
You probably didn't push the plug all the way in. It happened to me. -_-;
I have Sony headphones too and the Mic and button don't work either. I guess they're just incompatible.

dang, ok, I'm trying to convince my ex to switch with me her iPhone's earphones lol.
they work
so turns out after i bought a cheap hands free set and saw they did work, i was wondering why a cheap set do work and the nice Sony ones don't. So after sawing some of the plastic above the plug didn't make the difference, instead pushing the plug all the way in, I just pulled it our quite a bit and they do work that way, weird after everybody saying to push it very deep. LOL
Does it work on another phone? iPhone, perhaps?
I wonder if the contacts are not positioned the same way as the ones that came with the Tab.
PS: I've verified that the iPhone stereo mic headset works on the Tab just fine - and vice versa. The middle button works, but the volume button doesn't. Appearently, the volume buttons is an iPhone-specific feature.
Well.. I've got a problem:
Today I wanted to use my Samsung headset that came with the S2, plugged it in, and the music sounded wierd. Like there was an echo, or if all my music was a karaoke version..
Turns out:
Non-Headset headphones work perfectly, but the "3-ringed-jack" headset does not work! I do not have another headset to test this, but the headset works @my pc (got a connector for that..)
So the 3.5mm jack at my S2 seems to be broken?
I will try a software reset (right now I am @stock rom+root) and then send it to Amazon. Anyone heard of that problem or got some ideas?
Breece
[edit]
Reset didnt help, but the headset does *not* work on my Nexus one (same problem) but my BH905i do not work on both phones with the 3.5mm jack (the one that has "3 rings")
Did you push the pin in far enough?
For 3 weeks I didn't know I had to push it hard into the jack, until it clicks. After that, it was perfect. I'm using Ultimate ears 220vi, 3 ring.
That has to be the pin. you must give it a good press to seat it properly.
The SGS2 headset jack is a bit 'finicky'. Some aux cables / headsets work, some sound funny or do not work and yes, one has to ensure it is really pushed in firmly.
I pushed as if my life depended on it Just last week the headset worked...

The same thing happened to me, but I noticed ealier.
I re-installed the firmware but nothing seems to help. I guess its hardware..
Will send it back to Amazon today...
Maybe the headset is broken after all, who knows
Just an update:
Has been @ the amazon repair center for two days and apparently something did indeed brake in the hardware... atleast it says on the homepage "being repaired"
Now I hope the S2 will be back soon.. want to flash 2.3.4
Shoot I was just about to ORDER a replacement Audio Jack, until I read the second poster reply. For me, my headset worked only by wiggling the cable around into the audio jack in order to finally hear sound (had do this every single time and was very annoying), the audio did sound distorted and the mic would never work :-(
I personally thought that I inserted the cable in the audio jack as hard I could (after many attempts having this phone for 2 months)
but after reading kaotickelly's reply, I noticed i never EVER heard a click before inserting the cable in the jack throughout many attempts.
So I put my "trying to over protect my phone" ignorance aside, and FORCED the dam thing in, and it clicked!!! not only did I forced it, but I didn't scratch or break phone as i feared, Headset sounded correctly without any distortion and microphone worked!
Unlike Breece, my audio jack now works and I got to UPDATE to 2.3.4! (Don't take it personal)
GOOD-LOOKING OUT KAOTICKELLY!
I used some really old iPhone headphones on my Note 3 the first day I had it, last week. I haven't had an iPhone since 2010, so I am talking super old and beaten to death. They worked fine.
I only mention this because I've read that some older headsets are not compatible with the S4 and Note 3.
Then I paired them with a pair of ARCTIC P253BT Bluetooth Stereo Headphones. The pairing worked, in theory. The phone and headphones seemed to think they were connected.
But all I got for audio was beeps from the headphones when it connected and the phone would play at the normal, holding-to-ear volume -- even when I clicked the button for headphones and jacked up the volume in Bluetooth Settings. This did not shock me because they are cheap headphones.
Later, I tried to use the Aux jack in my car -- no dice. Phone just acted like it didn't have headphones in.
Tried the old iPhone headphones again, phone acted like it did not have headphones in. I figured I at least had those.
Restarted -- same issue.
I realize this is a very low-level question for this forum. I have yet to ROM the phone and will probably wait until TouchWiz finally beats me down.
Part of the problem is that I had been rolling with a Nexus 4 on CM 10.2, I've been running CM for a year over multiple devices and I've never had a Samsung device.
So I just feel like I don't know how to solve anything. I realize asking for TouchWiz advice is like Yankees ownership asking Red Sox fans for advice, but I am taking a shot.
Any thoughts?
Sounds like you have a bad headphone jack or something wrong with the port connector in the motherboard. I would submit a warranty claim and get a new one.
Btw I've used Bluetooth headphones and the aux port in my car it works perfect.

Wow, seriously? I did not expect it to be that extreme. Whatever went wrong happened some time after I initially used the first set of ear buds.
So maybe I did it? I have been treating the thing like gold, though.
You say that it does nothing when you plug in a headphone right? Like there is nothing connected?

Similar issue solved after powering phone off/on

I've been having the same issue and it seems to correct itself if power my phone off/on, but I'm not happy about the headphone jack being so unreliable on a brand new phone. I've plugged in headphones and an aux out headphone cord and experienced this problem. When the issue arises, the phone will pause for a second as if it's going to send audio to the headphones or aux out device, the unit states "headphones connected" in the notification tray, and then within a second of doing so the audio continues to come from the Note 3 speakers instead of the headphones or external speakers.

It works for one second then either gets really dim or starts playing at the normal call volume (not speaker volume). I took it to the store today and They had no idea. They thought they were very clever when they first got it and I told them all the setting they were planning to try had already been confirmed. They went through the motions. No dice.
They think it is a hardware issue.
If it is a hardware and that is what it sounds like then, you can submit a manufacturer warranty claim with Verizon Wireless.

I did that and got a new one. Same issue. Insane. Must be something in my settings.

My solution to this behavior (YMMV, but I had the exact same behavior)
The issue ended up being the case. It was generating enough of a standoff that the AUX cable wasn't making complete connection. I think the Note is configured to only recognize a headphone output if both channels are making connection (which is slightly atypical behavior).
TL;DR: If you're having a similar problem, try taking off your case.
Car aux input does not work

I'd like to add my voice to the chorus. Almost identical problem. Works perfectly on all other devices but not 2007 Saab aux. Worked with former Note 2. I tried 3 different cables. Plays fine for a little while then audio directed to phone speaker when notification sounds. I have no case. Pretty sure it's not cabling. Heard it was low impedance headphones. My carrier has not heard of this. I belive it's a compatibility issue with the aux port. Trying bluetooth alternative. I dislike the Hassel but at a loss for now. Maybe Kitkat?
I am having the same issue on a phone that is less than a week old. Headphones work, then later they don't. It shows them connected, briefly sends audio to earphone, then to phone speaker. Reboot fixes it.

I don't think this is a hardware issue as the behaviour doesn't really make sense. I suspect it has to do with the service that detects whether headphones are connected or not.
I have this issue from time to time with multiple pairs of headphones.
A restart usually fixes it, but not straight away. I usually have to wait a minute or two after the gui is loaded before the headphones will be detected again.
I just bought a bluetooth headset and after connecting it with my phone, it sounds weird.. as if i hear things double.... as if the virtual room effect is turned on. When i send a message i would normaly hear "kit", but now i hear "tekit" (which is the closest i can get to explain the sound in writing)
First thing i tried was connecting it to a different device... same problem. I've tried a S4, S3, S3 mini and a Note 10.1... all have that same problem. So first thing to conclude, there is something wrong with the headphones......
But then i tried an iPhone..... it worked fine :/
So it seems to be about the basic way android sends sound to the headphones.. anything i can do?
P.S. these headphones can be connected with a jack, in case it's out of battery. If I do so, sound sounds fine.
Hello guys,
Sometimes this happens with me, when I have my Headphone or Apple earphones (just temporary) suddenly the Google Now pops up and activate the mic, and sometime this happens when I'm listening to a song or podcast, and it's really annoying...
Looks like that this happens when I rotate the phone or when I shake it or do some fast movement, and when It's on the lockscreen, the Voice Dialer pops up instead of Google Now.
I don't know if it's the headphone problem (It's the old Apple Earphones, from my iPod, so it doens't have mic, and my Headphone don't have mic aswell) because I never noticed this when I was using my Sennheiser CX 300II (also don't have mic) that died recently.
Anyone know why this is happening and how can I solve this? I bought a new earbud but it didn't arrived yet, but I'm worried if that thing continues to happen.
Thanks!

Yeah, probably, I plugged my old Sennheiser and it didn't happend. But, when I put the apple back on, the problem was back, anyway, I think I figure it out... I went to Google Now settings and disabled the Voice Activation System, and the problem is gone for now.
