My wife called me saying her iPhone headset doesn't work on her new gs3. I haven't had a chance to see her yet. Anyone know if this is true?
More than likely it is. Most iPhone headsets don't work. She doesn't like the included headphones with the gs3?

They are in ear noise cancelling and not safe to use while driving and uncomfortable fit for her ear. The stock iPhone ones are great or she just got used to them. She had the evo4g and they worked great so I know it's ot a droid thing

Aren't ANY headphones in your ear while driving not safe?
There are apparently two kind of wiring in the head phones. All headphone with mic connectors have four terminals, however the order they are wired up is different.
I know this for a fact because my captivate headsets did not work on my Sony X10.
In fact if you try to press and hold the accept call button on the headset while playing music you will realize that they quality of music suddenly improves.
Solution either get some different headset or get http://www.meelec.com/MEE_TRRS_Adapter_for_P_Version_Headphones_p/adptr-trrs-35.htm
The above product worked well from captivate => X10. I probably would in your case too

Have her download that and give it a try!
I can confirm that my iPod Touch headset that has an in-line microphone also does not work.

The iPhone headset will not fully work on the galaxy s note or s 3 because of how apple made their remote.they love to custom products for their products.(greed)
If you want pair of ear buds that have the remote work all three buttons here is a link http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=300625164026&index=3&nav=SEARCH&nid=31728916865
They sound just as good to me
What's with the design of this jack? I don't use ear buds but presume most will connect fine, but neither my Foxl speakers nor external amp will connect because of the curve of the phone. No problem with the GNex. Annoyed.

They'll connect just fine? Make sure you press hard enough for it to snap in! It's a standard 3.5mm jack. Just with a little bit of it cut out for the curve

You're right, I'm an idiot. Didn't have to press so hard on the GNex but there you go. Thanks.

I wouldn't worry too much, it took me a few minutes to figure out they had to snap in. I thought I had a faulty jack at first

Hi folks,
Just got my new G2 today. I noticed that when playing music sound is only coming from the bottom right speaker grille. If I cover this there's no sound. Can someone check theirs and confirm if this is normal? Is the left speaker grille just a dummy then? Thanks!

Same here and I have the AT&T variant. The right side is the only side that sound comes out of. I'm thinking the left 'speaker' is the Microphone. Just like on my iPhone 4 there were two speakers, but one of them was a Microphone and the other was the actual speaker.

i have the Verizon variant, i would assume they are the same. the sound only comes from one side mainly.
Thanks for that richiev. I suspected that was the case as it certainly seems loud enough and it would be odd to place stereo speakers so close together. Cheers for confirming it for me!
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
They all only have one speaker. Verizon chose not to give it the stealth look.
One strange thing I have found is if I'm playing music with media volume set to full, if I put ringer volume to silent it lowers the music volume, ,,, or is it just me?

Don't notice the volume lower but do noticed a slight click from the first music played.

That's interesting. The same thing happens here. I guess it's a bug of some kind.

Some sources says it does, other says it doesnt...
Does it has or not?
Louder or quieter than the Moto X Pure's?
It looks like there are two speakers on the bottom.

Posting on my turbo 2 and it has 1 loud front facing speaker on the bottom front.
There are 2 slots that look like a right left speaker setup but the left one is not a speaker and would guess its a mic
Correct. 1 speaker, not stereo.

Yes. It only has one speaker on the bottom right. It does get fairly loud though. Decent sounding speaker

Then why not throw another speaker in just makes sense to me better audio.

Off the top of my head...
1. Because it adds cost
2. Because almost no one listens to/watches media with the phone in portrait mode anyway, and that is the only time that 2nd speaker would be useful
3. Because you get almost no real stereo separation with a 2nd speaker 1 inch away

THANK YOU!
I thought I had a broken phone until I read this thread. I was playing around with stereo and it came out of one speaker and not the other. Was just out of my 2 weeks too. THANK YOU!

Ummm.... Because the speakers would both be on the bottom front, so the only way you would have stereo sound is if the phone was in portrait orientation. If the phone was in landscape, then both speakers would either be on the right or left therefore not stereo.

Stereo is stereo two speakers is stereo one is mono. Of course if they were at either end it would be better. You can't tell me two speakers wouldn't be better. And it wouldn't cost that much for a small speaker. As it is my only complaint is the volume is lacking on this phone at times.

Look up the definitions of stereo and stereophonic and you'll see your not actually right. Stereophonic sound requires being able to separate the source of the sound - which 2 speakers both on one side does not do. 2 speakers on one side is effectively just dual mono.
No argument that 2 speakers would likely be louder than one, though. Seems loud enough to me as is, but everyone has different needs.
Regardless though, it is a moot point. It has one speaker and will always have one speaker at this point.

So I got my phone a day ago and I was playing with it and decided to watch a YouTube video. Once I started watching it, I noticed it didn't seem like it was in stereo or the sound was off in some way. I tried covering the earpiece speaker and nothing changed as the volume. Weird, so I covered another one, and nothing. Turns out the audio is only coming from one speaker. Is anyone else having this problem or do I have a broken phone?
It only has one speaker. The right one. All are like that

For me, not really. Asymmetric design (one hole on top and two on bottom) without real reason. Bottom bezel is also too big (to make space for vzw logo I guess), more than enough space for soft buttons.

Are you serious? There are two other speakers and only one works? The same speaker setup (sort of) as the Moto X and only one works?

Not two speaker, just one (but two holes) and that one (on the right hole) works
I didn't know that... Kinda disappointing
Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
Yeah it's disappointing but the sound is pretty descent for just one speaker. The design just doesn't make sense.

In my Droid turbo 2 one speaker is working and other speaker is not working so what I do to fix it.
