Hi All
I think my Nexus 4 device has a problem with headphone-in jack. I don't have any issues with devices own michrophone but when i plugged in my headphones my voice is too low on other side. I tried to change Rom and Kernel. But it looks like a hardware problem. Using Purity And Hells right now, is there any way to increase the microphone sound level?

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.

Is this a known issue? I am on AOKP rom but have noticed this issue on AOSP, as well. Can anyone who has a stock or stockish rom verify that your headphone mic is working correctly?
I have had 2 calls one on each rom where i used my headphones and the person said they could barely hear me. If i bring the phone near my mouth the user indicates i sound great. When i place the phone away from me they have a hard time hearing me.
Is anyone else having an issue with this? I cannot use mics built into any headphone i use. Tried this on CM. Went to Malladus. Even does it when you go into record. No sound when speaking into headphone mic but when speaking into phone mic, meter moves.

Looks like certain headphones at the current time do not work with this phone. I used Brainwavz m5 and pro alpha's. The mic on the earpiece does not work. I then tried a pair of phonak pfe122s with inline remote. The mic on that worked.
The inline mic on my beats earbuds and my skullcandy aviators both take precendence over the phone mic, I'm completely stock VS980.
I have a Nexus 4 and I don't have a matching headset. I did not buy the Google Play Store headset because I do not like plugin earphones. I tried the headset that comes with iPhone 4S and it works, however during calls the mic volume is very low, while the earphone volume is just unbearably loud. Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?
I assume this has something to do with impedance. Again, however, I cannot find this key information in Nexus 4's specification or the Google Play Store headset's. This can also be compatibility or software issue. But I read somewhere on the internet that unfortunately the mic volume and the earphone volume are not separately adjustable on Nexus 4. If that's not the case, please give me a guide as to how to do it. I am running factory 4.4 rom, rooted and GravityBox installed. If it has something to do with compatibility and/or impedance, please recommend a model (with mic) that works best with Nexus 4 which is not plugin when it comes to earphones. In terms of sound quality, I am not picky. To me, the iPhone headset isn't bad in sound quality. And I'd be totally satisfied if the sound quality is at the same level or close to a Sennheiser MX500.
Thanks!
Hey guys,
I've a problem with my Nexus 4. I think it's rather a hardware than a software problem. So maybe it's wrong here.
After a display change, the external speaker is not working anymore. The headphone jack still works and also the earpiece.
I already did a factory reset und tried to get it working again with the app soundabout. I also plugged in and out a headphone for some times.
So i changed the speaker but without success.

Do you know what I can do or which part I have to replace?

Hi, I tried the kernel 3.4 on my nexus 7, but after I installed it my speaker starts to play audio really bad, now is noisy ,scratchy and pretty low. So I tought was rom/kernel related, and back to 3.0 kernel, but no way to get it working good again. So I changed the speaker with a new one, and the audio isn't anymore scratchy, but is really low when compared to his previous stage, I cannot use in a room with peaple simply talking for example, forcing me to use a bluetooth speaker, or headphone. What happened to my nexus 7? I changed many roms, but doesn't seem to be fixable by sw, what can I do? now I'm on slimkat + parrot mod, which works flawlessy.
thank you
