Hi guys,
I have one question about headset without microphone. When I was using HTC OneX and plugged in such headset, the device automatically switches to second microphone that is ment to be used when talking on loud speaker. But on Nexus 4 it's forcing me to use default mic, and no one can hear me because the microfone is not near my mouth. Is there any way to change this (when I plug in that headset so that the phone starts using the mic on the top of device)?
Thanks in advance!

Hi ppl! Let's see if I can express my problem!
My wizard is having this problem:
The inside speaker doesn't work during a call, only loud speaker(hands free) works, or by handset or bluetooh speaker! Does any one have this kind of problem?
I've send this one to warranty but, i've got a stupid respond from HTC:
"....Dear Sr. You have used an illegal software that damage you HTC motherboad...". Uaaauuu I've never used any 3rd software on this one. after received this answer Yesterday I made the first update to this phone (install the XDA Mobile 6 Release 3) but the problem still there.
Does any one have some ideas?
Now a stupid question ? how many speakers does wizard have ? 2 ?
Thanks for your time.

A while ago i had a similar problem where the phone thought my wired headset was plugged in and would not send the sound to the speakers... Only the headset, so i put some music on and plugged the headset in and out pretty fast until the sound came out the speakers in the phone. I think it had something to do with the switch inside the jack port that controls where the sound goes. Anyway that fixed mine but im not sure whats happening with yours.
The wizard has 3 speakers
2 Stereo speakers, one on each side
1 Speaker for calling in between the flashing lights

Thats very true, if headset is used often or used much of the time,then the clips inside the jack port get over stretched and won't come back to it's original place after the input jack of headsets is plugged out,thus,not allowing to pass through the voice to the speakers.
Hi again! thanks for your replay!
Yes it was true about the mini jack! A good cleaning have solve 50% of the case!
The sound now cames out from the 2 stereo speakers ! But not from the speaker for calling!
I'm start to suspects from the speaker! Is it hard to dismount the wizard ???
Regards ,

THANK YOU!!!
Thanks guys. Had the same problem and the cleaning seems to have helped for now.
Just received my Touch HD today and had to realize that when you plugin a normal set of headphones, the telephone gets into headset mode and the its built in microphone doesnt work any more until you plug the headphones out.
is there any way to avoid this?
I wouldn't imagine so... It's a feature where it knows something's in the headset socket, so it deactivates the mic...
Hello,
when I plug-in my headphones (3.5" jack, 3pin TRS connector, no microphone) the phone thinks they have a mic and the built-in microphone is disabled and I cannot make calls (I could, but the other person would not hear my voice).
I did check with ddms and I've noticed that android does not detect any differences between TRS 3-pin connectors (w/o mic) and TRRS 4-pin ones (w/mic, like the one that ships with the phone):
Code:
08-12 17:58:59.340: VERBOSE/HeadsetObserver(531): Intent.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG: state: 1 name: Headset mic: 1
so I though it could be a hardware limitation/issue or a kernel one. The status icon (Gingerbread 2.3.4) always shows a headset with a tiny mic, whether I connect a headset with mic or just standard headphones.
My question is: does this problem appear only on my blade (i.e. is my blade broken?) or is it a "general" issue present in all blades?
thank you for your help

It's not just your Blade. I'm running stock 2.2 (got it today) and while there's no mic on the icon, the phone always disables the built-in mic even when I plug in regular headphones. Sound recorder and voice calls are both affected.
Have you found a workaround? I'd be OK without detection if the phone always assumed the attached headset doesn't have a mic and keeps the built-in one enabled.
Same here. Im on CM7 and even if i plug in the 3.5mm (3pin) headphones, the phone mic gets disabled and in the status bar i can see the icon of headset (no matter when i use headset or headphones).
Keeping this aside, i had a more worst problem. If i plugin any headphones or headset other than the stock one provided with phone, they wont fit in the socket correctly. Even if i push them tightly into the socket (and left) , they will come out by 1 or 2 mm making the headphones unusable (what happens is only one ear phone works). And both earphones work as long as i keep it pressed and held tightly into the socket. But i cant hold it all the time i was hearing to the music right...? WTF... And i figured out why this happens. This is due to the back cover which was designed foolishly. The back cover of phone has a tiny hole for headset jack which prevents the other 3.5mm headphones to completely enter into it (this is sure in my case). If i remove the back cover and plugin 3.5 headphones they will be fit completely without any problem (even though here i cant use the phone mic). Another foolish design of the back cover is the exposure of the power switch making it more vulnerable to damage.
I had an idea to cut out the extra plastic thing at the headset hole of back cover to make it usable with 3.5mm headphones, but i fear i would loose warranty. Will i loose the warranty if i do so..?
After watching all these i think the headset jack of our phone is not correct. It might be having difference in the connector lengths. Don't wanna blame the rom/kernel for this. After all those were just my opinions.
Exactly the same happens on my blade using default 2.1 rom that came with the phone.
As for the above post, perhaps you should see if you can get a new back cover? Its only yours having that issue

I have exactly the same problem with some jacks but not all (my headset from Nokia fits in well, a retractable jack I've bought for my car fits almost well (it never drops by itself but if you touch it to much, it does)).
The biggest problem I have is that some applications ("music" and "listen") start playing when the faulty contact happens, even if I was listening for music in another application (jamendo) this is really a pain because jamendo keeps playing music and a podcast starts to play in "listen". Is there a way to tell those applications not to react to the headset being plugged/unplugged ? (I guess the faulty contact may be acting like a remote control press or something...)
Thanks for your ideas
Edit : it seems related to this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625731 and to this http://android.modaco.com/topic/301335-the-headphone-bug/ and it seems that this application : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idunnolol.headsetblocker&hl=fr can be used to configure the behavior. I'll try it tonight and tell if it solved the problem.

With my iPhone or Blackberry, I can plug in earphones (without a mic) and talk directly to the phone and the other party can hear loud and clear. This way I can talk hands free with any earphone. However, with the focus I am unable to do this. I plug in earphones and I can hear everything okay, but talking to the phone is completely useless. No one else can hear what I am saying. Do I need to activate the built-in mic? Or is the mic on the phone just really terrible? Do I need to have an earpiece with a mic for this to work? If so, I feel that this is a huge negative..

it depends on the minijack that you are using, some will contact the mic ring and then the phone will think your headset has a mic and thus will disable the phone's mic.
the aux cable i use for my car is short (or is missing the ring) and i can listen to calls through my car speakers and just talk out loud and the phone hears it. i have yet to have anyone complain that they can't hear me.
so, maybe try another headphone cable and see if that helps.
some phones have this function built-in, if not you cannot use it.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to raise the mic volume on a call. I use a car arm to use my phone to listen to music and answer calls while I'm driving. I've noticed that the mic volume is very low while the headphone jack is use (can't hardy hear me). Of I turn on the speaker feature on the call, the mic volume fixes itself. I was wondering is there was a way to raise the mic volume with the headphone jack in use .
Thanks in advance.
Bump!

If you search for mic call on N4 threads you will see lots of complains and no answer. Seems like noise cancelation is the problem but still no luck
Stick your finger over the top microphone while you're talking. That will make the N4 send all the signal from the bottom microphone, effectively eliminating noise suppression but letting your voice come through okay.

did it with no success, in fact that should be the solution for some reason it doesnt work for me
Dunno, then; I was just reporting the experience of a user in a different thread. I haven't had a phone call in the car since then, so I don't know whether it would work for me or not.
Just a thought -- my car mount has movable feet, and I have to make sure that one of them doesn't cover the microphone hole on the bottom. I don't know if your mount potentially has the same problem or not.
