Hi,
is there any way to get the internal mic on the SGS2 working when using real headphones? I also have problems in the car when using BlueTooth, my mic do not work - neither the car mic nor the built in one and in this case I would prefer the external one.
Also connected to good headphones - Volume boosting? I have tried the service codes but they all go back to normal again, do I need to Root?
Thanks
Define "real" headphones?
If you are talking about headphones with 25-60ohm impedance then the output amp should drive your headphone just fine. But if you want to drive a 600ohm HD800 then you definitely need a portable amp. (I wouldn't suggest anyway you play music with SGS2 as a source if you have a HD800) Volume boosting does nothing if you are driving a high impedance headphone.
I have a TF10 with in-line mic and the mic works fine with my SGS2. Music pausing, fast forward etc works.
Hi,
not all clear - agreed. I have a pair of Monster Turbine Pro Copper 32 ohm, but my questions was more headphones/headset. My old iPhone4 was smart enough to figure out if I was using a headset or headphones and keept the intermal mic on in the latter case. So is there anyway to get the SGS2 to work in that manner. I would prefer that and not have to buy an extension cord with mic (prefer short cable).
All the best

I'm looking for replacement for Magician's (wired) headset coz I think the one that comes with it sucks (low audio quality).
Anyone can suggest good alternatives with good MP3 quality (enough bass,...) and also as the phone's handsfree.
Thanks a lot.
If you are handy with a soldering iron, cut off that stupid pair of earbuds and solder on your favorite headset (that's what I did) or you can buy 3rd party adapters. If you solder on new headphones, don't forget to get some of that really cool heat shrink stuff to put over the wires, it turns out very professional looking and very strong.
Hmm...nice idea.
Unfortunately i'm not good at soldering.
So it seems i'm stuck with alternative to find a good earphone+hansfree combo....
SOny Ericsson p900 headset
5x times sound quality, + only one with a microphone that fits the 2.5mm plug. I searched long and hard to get this answer as i cannot solder too
this headset is not a stereo one, rigth ?
There are some adapters that have a built in mic and you plug the 3.5 headhones of your choice into it. There is also a small adapter that is just for audio 2.5-3.5. It is true that the Sony P800-900 headsets are compatible with the Jam. Unfortunately I have yet to hear original earphones that are acceptable to me. I can't remember where I bought it, but the adapter with a built-in mic and 3.5 headphone jack is probably what you are looking for. I use one in my car. Maybe somone has a link for you?

But in this case, is there any high quality 3.5mm earphone that also work as handsfree for the Jam?
This solution uses the internal mic of the PPC Phone so you can use any high quality headset from your local hi-fi store.
Can you confirm that this doesn't mess up the stereo or do anything else weird?
I found it! This is the adapter that I bought for my Sony P800 years ago(works with Magician). You can use it to plug into your home stereo, favorite headphones and it even has a volume control. Mainly I use it in my car. I use it to plug my Jam into my car stereo and sometimes I use it to plug in the earbud for one ear wired headset communication. ENJOY!

I have that. I don't like it too much since it feels very fragile (including the thin wire) and the fact that it isn't a simple straight wire means it snga everywhere.
I only use that adapter in the car. It is good for people that can't make their own headset by soldering. I made a custom headset from Koss headphones and a Sony handsfree. That baby sounds really good, and I'm picky about sound quality.
Does the mic work? Can you accept and end calls using the button?
Thanks,
K
Yes, the above adapter works exactly as the original handsfree headset (+ volume control) except that you have to plug in a normal 3.5 plug stereo headphones. If there are other models out there without the reel thingy, I haven't found it.
I've seen the simple USB -> mini phono jack adapters available for the 8525, but is there a way/device to use wired earphones that includes a microphone, too?
I'd like to be able to be listening to music (wired earphones) and take a call through my earphones, rather than unplugging and/or pulling my earphones out.
This is what i did: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=250290
The microphone on the bundled headset is surprisingly good, I managed to have some conversations with the mic still in my pocket!
I just want to know, if you plug in a normal headphones (normal one, without mic, only stereo speakers) to the HD 3.5mm audio jack, does the internal mic in the HD still work?
Can you still answer phone calls without unplugging the headphones?
Does the headphones disable the internal mic?
The reason I ask is because I would like to know if I hook up the HD to the car aux input, will it work without adding an extra external microphone.
Thanks guys for helping answering this questions.

No, the mic works. The phone also rings when the headphones are plugged into it.
That's right. The microphone still work. I've been using wired headset to make calls. If it does't work, it would'nt have been possible to make such phone calls.
Thats nice to hear. But from how far away the microphone catches sounds?. If i use my stereo headphones, will the microphone be boosted, like in the speaker mode, when it can catch the voice even from the table, couple feet away?
It works Great in my car, i put it on myside [beside the GEAR]. but car speakers volume should not be very loud.
One of the features I miss of my Hero that my Nokia N95-8GB had was the ability to plug in a standard pair of headphones (or 3.5mm audio out cable) and use the built in microphone to make hands free calls.
I use the phone a lot in my car whilst driving to and from work to listen to music and would love for it to recognise the standard cable (which it does - indicated by a pair of headphones rather than the headphones/mic icon used to indicate the presence of the hands-free headphones) and be able to automatically answer inbound calls using the internal microphone.
Is there an app for this kind of thing - I'm guessing it is something that is/can be controlled by software?
have you tried it actually? because i use my ipod headphones quite often and it works as expected, sound from headphones and i hold phone closely to my mouth as its using internal mic.
Really not sure what you are looking for. If you plug the standard HTC headphones in using the jack on the top then you can use of the built in mike they have to answer calls.
Or have I missed something?
I've also done exactly what you're asking with my car. I've had my phone in a car holder w/ an audio cable from the Hero's headphone jack to my car's line in jack. I was able to answer calls just fine, and the person on the other end could hear me. (And it was just a standard stereo audio cable, my car doesn't have any sort of built in mic)

im doing the same thing but people on the other end are complaining about an echo of thir voice. I figure its coming from thier voice being picked up by the internal mic. Anybody have any ideas? how can i cut the internal mic while theyare talking. would a cheap wired headset work using its external mic? i could cut the headphones off and splice it into the line in.
I have had my G2 since late September and quickly found out by accident that it does use the internal mic when a headphone is plugged in.
Mine is a simple adaptor from the 3.5 mm into the RCA in my car. If I have the volume up too high, it echoes. If I have the volume down low, I can have a perfect handsfree conversation.
With the headphones I have had problems. In the car, I have the phone laying down and the mic side up. If I am holding the phone in my hand, I have no problems. Shirt pocket, ok. Pants pocket, no way.

Using standard 3.5 jack headset allows me to make and answer calls on my SGS2
I recently bought a senheiser headset that includes a mic and answer/hang button originally designed for iPhone and it works perfectly with my SGS2 (XXKG3/speedmod kernel)
hope this helps
