Problem with handsfree - Touch HD General

Hi. I found out that my HD doesnt anymore figure that when i plug in handsfree that it is one. Only shows that they are earphones which do not have microphone.
It does that with all 3.5mm handsfrees Ive tried, also those which came from box. They worked for few weeks or so.
Now I bought new handsfree and would like HD to work with them properly.
Anyone with same problem? It is kinda annoying.
Wouldnt like to Hardreset or go for custom ROMs yet, since this is working pretty nice.

Do you mean once you plug the handsfree in....you can only hear stuff but the microphone doesn't work? Other people can't hear you when using the handsfree?

HD doesnt identify my handsfrees as HF. It identifies them as headphones (without microphone) so microphone doesnt work at all.
So yes, I can hear stuff but cannot speak.

wired headset?

Hi chaps,
Do you have any suggestion for a wired compact headset to take phone calls?
I got a bt but its not always on and when I get a call, I dont want everybody around me to hear the conversation but when i pop in a 3.5mm stereo headphone, the microphone stops working
I cant find a combo in-ear headphone microphone thingi with one 3.5mm jack or a mini usb headset... so any suggestions?
What about the original one in the package?
You can leave your device in the pocket and accept or quit phonecalls.
You can set the volume of the incoming call to lowest with the slider left to the navi-stick, then other people do not hear your calls if you are 2-3 meters away.
I'd like to know a wired headset which shows the caller-ID in the microphone case, like the old sony walkman with the display on the wire, showing actual song and volume. The 3.5 jack will not support this, i know.
yeah you can just leave any 3.5mm headphones pluggged in, as long as they are plugged in before the phone comes in you can use the inbuit microphone.
The device still rings, so you just put the buds in your ears and answer.
This is what I do with my senseinhers.
I'd like a decent replacement corded set, don't like the sound quality from BT ones I've tried.
Had a USB one from gpsforless that you can plug your own headphones in just past the mic, but it wasn't well built and lasted about 3 weeks.
I bought this one for use in the car while plugged into my AUX in on the car stereo.

It works great with the Athena, there are a bunch of different types on ebay, just search for "Tytn Adapter" and you will find a bunch.
Pretty much any HTC Extended USB based adapter will work with the Athena.
Good Luck

I don't have such a problem with the original wired headset. The sound is excellent in both WM5 and WM6.
My wired headphones died pretty quickly, so now I use a pair of sennseisher buds, the microphone on the athena works when using standard earbuds, so although not hands free, it is at least a bit more private.
I like this from PPC Techs.

It gives you both 2.5mm and 3.5mm output so you can have your headphones in one plug and the headset in the other.
They have another adapter that goes from the USB for the same purpose but I don't have that one.

Hands Free via AUX

I have an AUX jack in my car and with my icrap i could plug it via the 3.5mm connection and use it as hands free, but with the LEO i plug it in and i can hear the other person via my car speakers but they cant hear me!? is this a common problem or am i missing somthing?

I had the same problem with my HD. People told me that I was wrong and that the phone could detect it was not a 3.5mm connector with a mic band on it, but it never worked for me.
I'd love an answer to this as I regularly use my phone as a music player in my car - same setup as you described.
One should be able to test this quite easily: call a friend. And if you don't have a friend - just call someone. Tell him that you sleep with/think he is an/damaged his (whatever) and if he starts shouting at you.. well I guess you have your answer. If nothing happens - same story I guess. The last possibility is great - you can now call everyone and finallysay the truth to him or her - all the things you always wanted to say, but were afraid to say. All thanks to HTC...
i know it doesnt work, thats why im posting the message!! any other smart arse comments?
It works, at least on mine, I am often listening to music using classic headphones and I can call people / use voice command with the microphone of the HD2. It is the same with the AUX input on my car.
Maybe you have a jack that has the microphone contact ?

Mic work with own earphone

hi,
anyone knows if HD2 Mic will carry on work when we plug in normal 3.5mm earphone ? as in we can talk when someone calls in when we are listening to music ? or we have to unplug before we can talk ? thanks
no one knoes ???
Just try it and see if it works.
I use my stereo aux input to play music in my car and thought it would be great to also use it as a hands-free when someone calls me. However, the caller couldn't hear me.
However, I mentioned it on here once and got lots of people telling me that I'm wrong and that it does work when you just have an audio plug with 2 bands on it (no mic input).
So all I can say is that it doesn't work for me, but I was told that I'm wrong
Try it and let us know how you get on.

[Q] Can't take a call with headphones through 3.5 mm stereo jack

Anybody verify that when headphones are plugged in to the 3.5mm stereo jack and a call is either placed or picked up that you can hear the person on the other end through the headphones but the person on the other end cannot hear you?
The mic is essentially disabled when the headphones are connected.
I have confirmed with Blackberry, HTC HD2, & Mytouch Headphones that you can indeed talk to the person. I did have a problem with pushing in the headphones in all the way, & when they weren't in all the way they couldn't hear me so make sure it is fully contacted with the jack.
Well it definitely looks like this is a proprietary issue. I took my phone back to verizon to check whether or not the phone was defective. Brought my handsfree (both Ifrogz and V-moda) to test on in-store fascinate. Made a phone call and the sales guy couldn't hear me. Put it in his storm2 and it worked just fine.
Went back and used a co-workers samsung's handsfree, and it worked perfectly. I wish they would've included the handsfree in verizon package. Unless somebody has tested out another handsfree brand to let us know, I'm thinking the 3.5mm jack is customized to samsung accessories only.
Interesting find!
Keep in mind I'm not trying to use a handsfree headset - I'm attempting to use my Bose In-Ear headphones.
I used to be able to take calls on my Incredible (and other phones) with them if I was out trail running, walking, just listening to music, etc.
You have an excellent good point with regards to a proprietary 3.5 mm port due to the fact that it also supports video out.
get a cheap nokia headset controller ad-54 on ebay.. the changes the wiring so calls can work through headphones.. ie one of these

I also can confirm that this doesn't work with the Fascinate. On numerous occasions, I have been walking to class on campus while listening to music. I assumed I could just answer the call and speak, because I could do that on my Droid X, but the caller wasn't able to hear me.
I'm assuming Bose headphones do not have a microphone, so how do you plan on using those for calls?
You need to use headphones with a 4 prong jack, which has a mic, such as the OEM ones

Plugging in the headphones disables the main microphone on the phone though, even if there is not a mic on the headset. Normally on other phones I've had, I could answer while on the headphones and just speak into the phone's mic, but that us not possible with this phone. I don't know if there is a remedy for this that doesn't involve using a special set of headphones...

I used my old blackberry headphones from my Storm and doesn't work but I noticed my friend had a spare headphones for his HD2. I should asks him for them.i doubt he needs a spare since he rarely uses a headphone.

So I figyred how to use my blackberry headset on my Fascinate. I had to unplug after making a call and then plug it back in.
Why does every cell phone with top notch hardware specs get released with all these tiny little software glitches.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I'm not sure if it was just me but I also had something odd happen. I used to use my iPhone for navigation and music in my car so, naturally, I use my new Fascinate the same way. I received a call while using my bluetooth headset and the phone routed audio to the car stereo instead of the bluetooth headset. I could hear the caller but they (obviously) couldn't hear me. The audio source on the screen was set to bluetooth too. Fairly annoying.
Anyone able to solve this?
Are you on a stock rom or a custom one? I believe this has been fixed with the Super Clean rom.

I'm using SC 2.9.2 and the receiving end couldn't hear anything.
I've run into this same issue. My wife's car has a bluetooth phone connection, so when in her car, I have my phone plugged into her stereo for music. When a phone call comes through, the call is picked up through the bluetooth, but the other end can't hear me unless I unplug the cable from the headphone jack.

I don't think the Nexus will support headsets with microphone, I treid ujsing my Sony headset with mic, also an older HTC set, although, they worked fine as headphones, no audio from microphone.
So, I suspect, the Nexus will not support these type of headsets............
