Sony ericsson and other brands switched the pins on the headset plug so you can only use that specific plug. You need a converter in order to make them work.. I know, it sucks.. There is a thread about that somewhere.

This only affects headphones with microphone.

damn. but thanks anyway.

I had the same problem with my old skull candy headphones that had a mic.
I solved it by ripping the plasstic cover up abit thats on the jack. so it pushes in deeper on ur phone.

Most likely it's fried.
You just put a lot more voltage into that circuit than it was designed to handle. Best case scenario is some sort of fuse is blown that can be replaced. My guess is that it's not going to work like that, although someone more knowledgeable about small electronics would probably be able to speak with more authority than me.
If you're still under warranty or have insurance, you could try flashing back to stock and taking it to a warranty center.
It's only $20 to replace, I did it, easy.

Test a new headphone with mick. if it doesn't work, it's a problem with your jack. But the whole jack isn't out of function it's just the first connector. that means that you can't use tv-out too

Fake headphones will not function properly with Galaxy S.
Mic is available only with the headphones that came in the box.
Other headphones with mic give only sound output, while the mic remains non-functional.

I have skullcandy not the fake ones... and also stock earphones wont work..gives distorting sound but dont know how some without mic one and some mic ones work but not the one i have

As u see, different headphones from different manufacturers have different load resistances. And this load resistance is responsible for the quality of output you get. So, the the stock headphones are best matched to the phones output capacity for best results.
I suggest you try some other I9000s headphones before you go for sound jack replacement.

Well this may sound dumb. But make sure you have really pushed the jack into the port.

I got a a-jays one+ headset and found it was not compatible with Galaxy S . The sound was very low and only when I pressed the remote button (mic button) the audio was clear. Got to know frm the customer care that only handsets that have American Headset jack (AHJ) are compatible . I was suggested to go for a converter to use the headset. Anyways planning for handset upgrade(definitely will go for a handset with AHJ).
Hope it helps....Anyone with links to order AHJ converters are welcome to help the threadstarter.
Thanks

Earphone jam?

Hi.
Recently my new earphones have been okay, but suddenly my right earphone has suddenly turned soft. It happened halfway through a song. Do you think it 's possible for a jam to be the problem and if so what should I do to clear the jam?

Do they perfectly work with X8 or they are like apple headphones??
I think so I mean I've been using it for 3 months already and there was no problem until now

Do the original headphones which came with the phone work properly??
If not something maybe wrong with your phone.
you may have blown the speakers in the earphones themselves. Do you play music quite loud?
It's really easy to check where the problem lies..
1: Try the headphones in another device and
2: Try other headphones in your phone..
You'll then see if the problem is the phone, the headphones or both..
Well I play nu metal

Is that a problem since you bought the phone? Or did it just happen? Maybe there's too much "stuff" (like dust) in it.
I've had the same issue but only with a certain set of cheap headphones I have at work. It bare stays in and if I so much as touch the phone, they pop out. They don't quite sit in all the way.
My other headphones (steel series gaming headphones) they stay in no problem.
Don't know what to tell you. Not sure why it's like that.
I also have the same issue !!!!

I had the same problem but i´ve solved it. I had a lot of dust in the jack from the jeans, I just used small wire to put it out and it helped.

Uncompatible ear phones!
Same with LG headphones but when I press and hold mic button on the earphone sound turns fine!
Better to change earphone , you can't hold button forever!
