So I can use other headsets without issue so the headset jack is fine. But the headphones that came with it don't work. Am I just out of luck or will samsung replace them? If so, is it worth the trouble?

Hi,
I have connected my KJam to my car stereo via a cable from the 2.5mm jack to the aux port of my car stereo. Tom Tom voice and phone calls are routed through my car stereo. Sometimes, the microphone will not work when I take a call. I can hear the caller perfectly but they can't hear me. Other times, the phone functionality works perfectly and we can both hear each other great.
If anyone can suggest any ideas, I would be very grateful.
Thanks
if your using a jack to connect it to your car, then its will prob. stop the mic working as its routing the audio to you car in the same way the headset with mic that you got with the k-jam does. I had this problem on mine, but due to the fact that i use a bluetooth neadset in the car fixed that little problem 8)
That's the end of my k-jam desires then.
I use my MDA compact in the same way you describe, for TomTom, Hands free calling and to play my music through.... and my microphone works fine with the headphone jack in.
I guess one thing to check would be the number of rings on your 2.5mm jack. If you have 3 then theres a possibility the k-jam thinks you have a mic on the end of the wire. If you have 2 rings (normal stereo headphones) then there must be another issue somewhere.
thanks for your replies. My concern was around the fact that sometimes the microphone works and sometimes not. I wonder if there is a workaround or a specific type of cable that I need to ensure that only the audio is routed and not the mic as well.
Thanks for all your help.l
never tried this myself, so i can only assume it would work. you could hack a cheap wired headset up, removing the earpieces but leaving the microphone. then add a stereo 3.5 plug so you can hook it up to your car stereo.

I have that very problem also, it's gotten that annoying that i've stopped using it through my stereo. you are able to get around it by popping the cable out of the kjam, then putting it back in.
pain in the ass though none the less.
What is the phone is set to Speakerphone ?
Even though Speakerphone is currently not working...
Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone has had any success in fixing this problem? I am having the same issue. I have a 2 ring 2.5-3.5mm adapter connected (so it should only be routing the audio, not the mic) and sometimes the caller can hear me, sometimes not. At one stage I found by unplugging the cable, setting to speakerphone, then unsetting speakerphone and plugging the cable back in would get it to work, but not anymore...
Any ideas?!?! I love my XDAII mini but this is driving me up the wall!
Cheers,

Lets get a list going of working wired headsets ( mic & headset) for the Trinity.
The OEM headset that came with it won't even fit in my ears. For me to wear them is like putting my ears through some sort of perverse torture. I don't want bluetooth. I have the 3in1 adapter but who wants to carry that around with them. Has anyone found a solution? .........
*Wired headset and mic suggestions only please.
-Thanks in advance from my freakin swollen ear canals.
Hi,
somehow I can't get my BT Headset get to work with the FM Radio.
Only the regular headset (needed as antenna) produces sound..
Any suggestions?
I search the forum but could find a topic, is there I any I missed.. let me know.
Maybe im wrong, but i think you have already nailed this one the clue being the antenna bit.
I was asking myself the same question. I imagined two solutions :
1) Take an old headset, cut wire 20 cm maybe from the connector to have an antenna (sort of). But I wonder if there is no side effect (infinite impedance headset supported ?)
2) Maybe there exists special FM antenna who plugs in an headset plug ? I have searched such device, but not found.
But there is, with both solution, a potential problem : if HD detects an headsed (even a false one), maybe sound will not be routed to BT...
But I'll try the first solution one day or other
When using bt headphones, I plug a dummy stereo jack to disable the speakers. So, if the bt is disconnected, music will not go through the device speakers.
When doing so, I noticed that radio works quite well. However the sound is not routed to bt headphones so from the menu the only option is to play through the device speakers. Reception is ok with nothing but a stereo jack, but this doesnt solve the issue of routing sound to bt headphones.
Care to try this

The attached app is for re-routing audio to a paired BT headset. I've never tried it as i don't have a BT Headset
You'll still need to attach an antenna of some sort (e.g. a normal set of HTC headphones with the ear buds cut off so it look's sort of made for the task)

Hi,
I tried it.. but unfortunatelly it's not working..
it's muting the regular output but still no output to the BT headset.
Actually, regular playback is also not working to BT when I use this programm..
thanks for the tip, it was worth a try.. too bad
Regards.
I recently had purchased an adapter for my Fuze in order to use a headset for listening to music as well as asnwering/making calls. The headset is an over-the-ear headset (not bluetooth earpiece) and it has a mic on it. But unfortunately, when I used it with the adapter, the mic does not work.
It works with the adapter that came with the Fuze, but that one is a bit too bulky. Anyone know of one that works with the mic on a headset?
Adapter
There are several options but this one woirks great for me.

Is that the only one? I rather have one that is just an adapter and nothing extra. That one looks pretty nice since it has volume control on it, if I can find another like it. I have a microphone on the headset, so a regular adapter would be fine a well.
Mic Less
You might try one of these

Search FleaBay for audio adapters under pda"s and cell phones. You will find something you like.
I prefer these headphones much more than my old Apple ones. They buttons work fine without an extra app but the mic doesn't seem to work. Can't tell if it's a software issue or a hardware one.
Anyone else have some insight on this issue?
Try using different headsets with mic to make sure it's not your phone, then use the same headset with different phones to make sure it's not your headset, and use same headset same phone with different softwares to see. Then use same headset same phone same software but different audio file. Sounds complicated, but it's easier done.
I did some tests and indeed the mic is broken on the headset and has nothing to do with the phone. Thank you for the feed back!
