So I just got the Nexus 10. I can't use either of the two mics. Or Bluetooth headset, or mic plugged in to capture sound. I've seen other posts about the mics being crappy, but I get absolutely nothing. (the sound-wave graph doesn't twitch) I've tried ButteredMantaAroma. CM10.1 and CM10.2. ParanoidAndroid. Omni. And am now back to stock.
Now, I never tried it before I rooted and flashed my first rom (never even thought about it)
I'll call and look for a replacement (got it free with Solar panel install on house... so not sure about replacement issues) but Since it doesn't work with on-board or Bluetooth or plug-in mic... I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts...?
Am I just missing something stupidly simple?
Thanks for any help

Hello,
I have a new HTC 6800 from Bell that I picked up last week, and I have applied DCD's 3.0.1 ROM for Bell over top of the Official Sprint ROM 3.35upgrade.
So far everything seems to work, except that I've noticed that when my HTC stock headphones are plugged into the mini USB port, I get sound from BOTH the external speaker on the back of the device AND the headphones.
I would expect the speaker to be off when the headphones are connected. Has anyone else seen this, or am I missing some obvious setting in the OS?
Any help greatly appreciated,

Now there is a GOOD idea! How about a 'true' speakerfone? When you enable it, sound specifically comes out of the speaker and the headset? I don't think it does this automatically. I'm sure it might not be so great for the phone but... *sheepish grin* work will just get me a new one. LoL (sorry to steal....)
i had the same problem. i moved over to keys rom. you will still have to install some of the skins and stuff though.
Hello everyone,
I wanna ask you if you had any problems with your X5 bluetooth coverage? I'm using an A2DP stereo headphone and it work well if I'm not touching the device. However if I touch the top of the device covering the top 1 inch or so inside my palm, it stops playing. Even worse, when I put my phone in my jean's pocket, I can't listen to my music continuously. The sound keeps getting broken when I walk.
The thing is if I leave the phone on a desk or something I can walk away from it about 15 feet or so without braking the sound.
So, what I want to ask is whether or not this is a regular antenna related issue with X5s or is something wrong with my device?
Best regards ..
Which headset are you using? And which ROM? I had this Plantronics BackBeat 903+ bought especially for this phone due the fact that stock ROM doesn't support phones mic while using headphones. Inside music quality was great and I could listen to the music from long distance and in different rooms. But outside it cut music all the time making itself useless piece of trash; I needed it to work on my way to work where I go by bicycle. Then I bought SonyEricssons mv600 and it works like a charm with stock ROM! On void it was bit more twitchy, but still acceptable (cuts only once or twice during 20 min trip). So the problem might be in your headset, not the phone.

Thanks for the info _Vk,
I'm still using the stock ROM. I have the device less than a week and after seeing the bluetooth performance I've decided to wait till I hear from a few of you guys before flashing anything else -just in case i need to replace it if it is due to a hardware problem rather than a general thing-.
I've tried with two different headsets actually, one "bluezen bsh-25", a cheap headset but somehow beats my other headset, "samsung SBH-500" both have the same issues with my X5 and both work really fine with my computer and my old SE Xperia X1.
So any thoughts?
So I take it I'm just about the only one with this particular problem ? I've even installed dzo's Oxygen port ROM but its still the same. I hate to send my device to service since with my luck, it will take a month for me to see my phone ever again.
You're definitely not the only one with Bluetooth performance issues, it's just that not many users are actually using Bluetooth.
The Bluetooth performance has been the same (****) on all Roms that I've tried (and I've tried 90% of them)...The only one that seems to have improved a little is the very latest Oxygen version, but insignificant improvement compared to stock...I honestly believe that BT in this phone is **** and no matter what you do, it's not going to improve.
Well, cheers then. I'll still love my phone even with its bluetooth going to the dark side when I put it in my pocket
Hi all...
My daughter has a ZTE Blade that I flashed originally to a custom rom running Froyo... for Xmas she got some new headset in ear headphones (one's with a mic)... The sound through these when plugged into the Blade is similar to listening to music underwater (muffled and echoing).... if you press the mic button the volume increases but is still poor quality. However plug in a normal earphone 3.5 connector (two bands rather than three) and everything sounds fine... I tried the earphones on other phones/computers and there is definitely nothing wrong with them. We also bought a second pair for my other daughter and they were exactly the same, I then tried my supplied Samsung Galaxy SII headset... again same thing... muffled and echoing sound.
So the problem was with the phone.
I decided to re-flash the phone this time with a Gen 2 Cyanogen Gingerbread rom... I tried the audio again after flashing and it seemed to have been fixed (admittedly I only played a track for a few seconds). Over the course of the day my daughter has reinstalled her apps etc... went to listen to some more music and again the same problem... muffled and echoing sound - pop in some normal headphones and everything is fine.
I have searched around and the problem seems to have come up before a few times but no one has really been able to track down what the issue is. I was actuallt thinking it might be app related (Skype or Tango for example) but I have stopped (not uninstalled yet) these apps but it makes no change.
So it seems that the Blade will not work with any wired headset/mic - any idea's please?
I found it wouldn't work with a headset that has a mic on it, but I got it working fine with my £5 jvc gummi headphones although I'm not getting much in the way of sound quality and volume. Still miles better than the stock headphones in the box though

I know this is an old topic but I found the solution and some others may have the same problem:
There are two kinds of connectors, they have ground and mic signal switched.
If you get the wrong one it will work but sound (mostly speech) will be very bad, this results in a very poor audio quality.
So just get the correct ones (Apple-Style) with mic or the ones withour mic will also work fine.

Hi, I got a new mic yesterday for when videoing loud sources (iRig Miccast) or just for simple & quick better quality mono recording on my phone, taking notes, recording ideas etc...
Anyway there appears to be a problem with the nexus 4 (unrooted/locked/stock running kitkat)
I have tried recording with various applications, irigs own application, tapemachine, lg camera pro, or Audio evolution pro.
When I record using the phones inbuilt mic... there is no problem, no static clicks..
However when plugin the iRig Miccast and start recording, there is random spikes/static clicks
I have set the phone to airplane mode so there shouldn't be any interference from the radios, ive tried with Screen on/off and makes no difference
I have tried the same on my motorola Xoom and there is no static clicks, so this must be related to the nexus 4
(i cant run the test on the nexus 7 (2012) as it appears to not support external mics)
Any ideas whats causing the clicks when only using external mic on n4?
many thanks

Was it working right on Jelly Bean? Maybe software update broke external mic support like Nexus 7... Also you can try factory reset.

Maybe try flashing Jelly Bean factory image (JWR66Y) and find out if the issue is still here. I tried to google that but only bluetooth mics and some for iPhones . For me Logitech USB headset isn't working, but it's via USB so...(I have the OTG path).

Hello,
I recently got a Nexus 6P from a friend who took it for a thirty minute swim. He told me that if I could fix it, I could have it. After some work, I got it running at about 90%. The only issue is with audio. Absolutely no audio will play at all, unless its through Bluetooth. The headphone jack, and both speakers however, don't work. Whats weird is that apps behave strangely. Google Music skips songs endlessly. YouTube gives an odd error. The camera works. but when I switch to video, it says "cannot connect to camera". Audio recording gives a weird error. You get the idea
I've found other posts about similar issues, like this. https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/nexus-6p-audio-playback-error-app-t3476592 but his solution did not help.
It seems to me that the issue is somewhere in a loop between the camera, speakers, and microphones. The camera wouldn't affect most audio, so its not a likely cause. I have replaced the top speaker, but cannot find a 3.5mm jack replacement. I think the microphone is most likely the issue, but I'm not 100% sure.
If anyone has any ideas, I'm defiantly open to them, especially if you've ever worked on fixing one of these. I'd love to upgrade from my Nexus 6 (which I actually got from the same friend after he destroyed the screen on it...I'm looking forward to getting his Google Pixel once he breaks it next year :laugh: )
Thanks so much for any help!
Lucky the phone even turns on let alone apps not behaving properly lol. You could replace all the little components just plug and play. Might even fix the Google music issue but what's the point. Just a ticking time bomb once electronic gets submerged in water. ?

Not necessarily. If electricity had shorted something then the phone is pretty much screwed. It's been a few weeks since it happened and it's been running for about two with no new issues. The big issue with water is corrosion. But if it's cleaned off, the phone works like nothing ever happened.
Most of the components are on the main board, so unfortunately aren't able to be replaced, like the microphone. The ones that are, all seem to work just fine.
If I can get this issue figured out, the phone should work just fine!
No audio on Nexus 6p video record.

I had this problem and after searching I found a solution! Download Cinema FV-5 free or pro. From there you can go to settings---general and choose external mic, this immediately fixed my problem and audio no is crisp and clear. Do it's obviously a software issue in stock camera app. Love my Nexus 6p and am thrilled to shoot video with audio now.
I have the very same issue, but instead having my nexus 6p dived into water - I have had let know a akku change job from a "pro". Ever since I have no audio at all!
Even the same behavior with the video (camera) and the Google musik (keep skiping songs)....
Any ideas?

Sadly, I can't even run this app. It keeps no response.
