Picked up my new I9300 a few days back, love it...smooth, fast and simply gorgeous. Apart from one issue which is bugging me.*
I have a pair of Denon AH-C710's which I bought a couple of months ago. Worked great on my*I9100*but sadly they don't seem to be connecting right on my S3. They keep switching from stereo to mono with the slightest touch of the jack and the volume will dip...when the phones in my pocket it will jump around as I walk. Very annoying.
At first I thought it was the socket on the phone BUT the*Samsung headphones that came with it work fine, as do my old*I9100*headphones. There are 3 black rings on the jack as opposed to 2 black rings on my denons...could this be the issue?
Is there a quick fix to make the Denons compatible? Is it an issue with th phone? Should I return the phone?
I've thought about fixing the jack from my old*Samsung*headphones to the Denons extension jack ...if I mess up then it's just the extension that will be messed up.
What do you guys suggest?????

Sounds like your Denons have a bad headphone jack. Does not seem to be an issue with the GS3.
must say I've used a different set of "cans" with no problems here
That's what I thought, but the Denons are working fine through several other devices I've tried them in so I'm pretty much stumpt...
I'm pretty impressed with the sound from the stock headphones though...big improvement!
Any ideas??

Hey there, Im wondering if it's only my set that has this problem or not. I have spare htc's and apples earphones and both of them have mic.s for hands free talking. However when I plug them in to listen to music, sound appears all fuzzed up, certain frequencies such as bass are gone and/or comes out of only one side. The only way to fix this is by holding down the play/stop buttons found on these earphones. When I hold down the button, music playbacks just fine... Had problems with my headphones jack before and had it repaired but I noticed this phenomenom before the fix as well. Can any one test this out as well?
This is a known situation, there are two different ways used to connect the four wires to the jack-plug, HTC and some others use one method, and Nokia and Samsung use the other method.
Basically this means that unless you buy a special adapter/converter, the only headphones suitable for your SGS are some aftermarket sets and earphones from a Nokia phone.
Hope that this helps.
Yeh . Look for nokia n97 headsets

But will all third party Headphones work? I guess it would be better to go for those without microphones then, and to check if it works before buying. Thanks guys and sorry if this has already been answered...
That is god damned retarded. I'll have to sit through three hours of mad banter and public displays of affection in this train because someone decided to put their audio jack wires a bit different. This should be illegal.
Headphones should with fine. It's the mike that won't work. I've used apple and phillips headphones and they work fine. If you want to use custom headphones with a mike that works I've heard that you can get a nokia adapter that connects into the phone and headphones into it that should work. Can't remember the model number sorry.
Just had a look on ebay, think it's a nokia ad-43. Think it has the mike built into it though.

Thanks man
I was able to connect my Sennheiser over the ear headphones easily, but my cheapo Skullcandy Earbuds won't stay all the way in, and it's a bummer..... It has a smallish jack too, so its not like the case and jack press against each other...
The first day I was in the library and opened the N7 in a reading cubicle. Just to test the sound, I put in my skullcandy headphones and played a song from Google play. After a bit, I saw everyone was looking at me weirdly. Then I noticed the sound was coming out of the speakers, not the headphones.
Bottomline:
You need to really push it in. However, it's not a great deal to me. And it works fine !
Yes I was scared to push it in at first because I thought It would break, on e everything's fine

It's the return of the headphone problem from the original iPhone. Good job ASUS!
Hi ive done a search and couldn't find my answer so was hoping someone can help me.
I really dont get on with my stock headphones that came with my s3 as they constantly fall out of my ears as do all the bud style ones, so guess im after some beats style over the head ones and also want to be able to use the mic so i can talk on calls without having to get the phone out of my pocket but have read that the mic on the beats ones doesn't work due to the way the plug is intended for apple devices.
So has anyone got any that they can recomend that will give good sound for my music and also let me use features of standard headphones.
cheers lee
There was a thread floating about regarding earphones with mics, do a little search in the S3 forums and you'll find. Off the top of my head though I can only think of Klipsch Image S4A's although they are earphones. There is also an adapter you can buy off ebay that you can plug your headphones into, which his a mic & line controls but the wire would be so long that I've avoided using it on my M2's since I can get enough bass out of the stock Samsung headset
Jaybird Bluetooth Earphones. I've tried everything and these are the best.
Jays a-jays one+. Not the best mic but great in ear canal buds for the money.

Cheers for replys but cant use the buds as really uncomfortable and always fall out of my ears so really need some that go over top of my ears.

Any ideas for a good mid/ear bud combo or a fix for the horrible sound on the other end while using Skype. I'm told its very bad.

I guess this is old news...lol

I found the mic and speakers are all very bad, also the wifi reception, on my A500. Otherwise, it works, but if I try to use it for skype for example, it's much worse than the HTC Titan II I have, which is a much smaller thing. Even the "tiny" Arrive phone that I have does better on wifi and mic/speaker, only the Arrive doesn't have a front facing camera. I use my A500 to do web browsing, read PDF and watch youtube, while it's not good for youtube because of the weak speakers.
Searched a lot on the web. It seems nobody has found a solution for these awful mics. Hope someone has better news. :banghead:

I found a ear combo with a boom mic 3.5 millimeter from radio shack that works really good and clear.. But Skype will only work with a wired headset not a bluetooth it doesn't support microphone for Bluetooth... only speakers or headphones... lame...

If you pop the back, there are two mics right at the top of the screen (near the sd card). One is visible. The other is behind the motherboard. The one you can see is used for noise cancelation. It even has a hole in the chassis next to it to let sound in. The one you can't see is used for sound pickup and has no adjacent hole to allow sound. What I did was unplug the hidden mic. Tuck the wire and plug under the board. Move the plug for the noise cancelation mic to the receptacle for the main mic and reassemble. It sounds much better to me now. Haven't used Skype on it yet, but it should be better.

Important to note - I recommend removing the sd card any time you remove or install the back cover.
This guy shows a decent tutorial. I basically pulled the sd cover off and started at the plastic there. If you end up with blemishes, at least they'd be under the sd cover.
get a headset bluetooth is nice even those *retro phones* wud work i use 1 for f2f vid chat

Hey guys,
I know it sounds kinda weird but I just want to ask if you are expecting the same "inconvenience" as me.
Are you having problems with fluffs inside your audio jack? Therefore I can't plug in my earphones. I'm just curious because it never happened to be a problem with the phones I got before. Might be my jeans as well[emoji1]
yeah, it's normal like fluffs in your navel.
Try clean a pocket sometimes.
That happened to me about a year ago. I kept my phone upside-down in my pocket and it collected in the headphone jack. I just started carrying it right side up and that fixed it. I liked carrying it upside-down though.
Don't worry about it just use a tooth pick to get the fluff out and it will fixed it no problem
One of my headphones just stopped working and I thought maybe lint was in the Jack again, Nope, my headphones just died. I blame this thread.
Just use the hoover to suck it out
First thing I did was buy some dust covers for the Jack plug and the charger port

Usually I catch it before plugging my headphones in,
if it's too far in, I just suck it out with my mouth.
