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 ???

THANK YOU!!!
Thanks guys. Had the same problem and the cleaning seems to have helped for now.
Hi,
Well I just got a pair of Beats by Dre, and wow do I love it.. The sound is great. Its comfortable. Its sexy. But its not perfect.
The headphone does not allow me to change my volume (which it has buttons for it), and it does not allow me to use the mic while I'm in a call. These two things have been annoying me enough that I will pay some good money, just to get a fix for it.
So if anyone can fix this problem for me... Ill get you some cash with PayPal.
I considered an iPhone 4 for a second to replace my G2, just to get these features. My friends iPhone 4 works perfectly with the headphones, and call quality is excellent. I just don't get it.
Anyways, Anyone up to fix this problem?
Have you tried using your friends headphones in the G2 yet? Not likely but could be a fault with the headphones. Also, are the volume controls scroll based or button?
When you plug in your Beats is it just the regular headphone icon or the one with microphone attached because this happened to me but mine were the in ear ones it showed the headphone icon instead of the microphone icon.
Here's another problem I found, the standard inline earphones with mic and single button doesn't work.. it worked just fine on my Desire HD and nexus S as well as nexus one..
I tried 2 different ones, my guess is that the Atrix headphone jack only has audio out.
if you guys have found otherwise let me know how I can get that to work..
if in fact the Atrix is only audio out on the headphone jack I'll definitely return it tomorrow and get something else..
I just grabbed an iPhone headset (stereo) and made a call and it worked great.
I'm having this same problem. I used a pair of SkullCandy 50/50 and only got audio. The mic was still working on the phone, and the buttons on the headphones didn't do anything.
I have ibeats headset, everything works on DesireHD and my iphone. but for some reason none of it works on the Atrix.. beh..
I dug out an old pair of headphones that came with a Palm Pre, and the mic works on that. The button also brings up a menu to start a voice program. They do not have volume buttons so I cannot test that.
This is really going to annoy me if this phone can only use crappy headsets.

Was this a standard one that comes with the iPhone? Do the volume buttons do anything?
Skullcandy FMJ w/mic
I have the skullcandy full metal jacket w/mic and it works fine. Although when I first inserted the jack into the plug (*beavis laugh) the phone still played music out of the speaker(s) on the phone. So I pulled the plug out and reinserted while twisting the plug. Dont push too hard cuz it seems the plug does not go all the way in. The curve on the case near the jack makes it appear that it is not fully inserted. Try cleaning your plug as well.
Both headphones i tried stick out of the phone a little bit, and the same amount. Plus audio works on both, I would think that audio would not work if one was not plugged in correctly

Just tested and the volume buttons don't do a thing.
I tried "removing" vlingo and voice commands/search, but still can't use the remote button on my headphones.
might have bad jack
The jack might be broken or not connected well. It is a modular piece that can be removed without de-soldering if you take the phone apart you can test each ring on the plug/jack for continuity by touching the meter to the springy metal contacts that touch the circuit board. I would just do a return or atleast have att try other headphones. Im not sure about the volume control but the single button on my mic controls everything including media forward reverse and pause. I can even get vlingo and google voice search to come up ( a long press on the other hand opens the media application).
Old thread... but for future reference, Motorola switched the headset pinout on this phone and the Xoom. You'll have to ask the Cliq guys what they use, or you could wire a adapter cable up.
I can't post links, but look up the Motorola OH20 and motorola.com /Support/CA-EN/OMTP-Headset-Support
Wow, that is kinda retarded that moto did that. I'd never even heard of OMTP until just now. Seems MOTO is the only one that does this. Some 'open' standard. Seems the only way around it would be to use a B headset.
Wired Headsets Don't work due to OMTP
Well...
I am a huge fan of Bluetooth technology and have just about every kind of handsfree, however I was really looking forward to the 3.5 mm jack. There are some pretty impressive headsets available.
This is what I found about OMTP:

This isn't the problem. I have a xoom and the same headset can play/pause.
So, no solutions to this except for spending another 50 bucks to buy a new head set that's omtp compatible?
I have a set of ear buds rat came with a blackberry bold from work. It only has a single button but it does do play/pause in winamp and the mix works. There is a post in the accessories section with some options and reports of ways working for everyone.

Hello
I am looking for in-ear headphones which support play/pause, microphone and volume control. Preferably this should be accomplished by 3 buttons: middle button for play/pause and left/right buttons for volume control (just like on iOS).
I do not look for one-button or bluetooth solutions.
As I already searched on xda, I found those headphones:

Here are a few that all three buttons work on one s
- urbeats (htc version )
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-00
- Nokia purity inear ( it say one only Nokia but will work on htc one s)
I tested all of them on htc Sony Nokia lumia and Samsung galaxy phones

However, I do not know if they work with the Nexus 4 or if there are more headphones available.
Could somebody help me out here please?
I gave up looking for headphones with buttons like those because the main reason you have headphones/earbuds is because of the music or podcasts, with an occasionally call here and there...well for me anyways.
And IMO, the one button is good enough which can be found on most headphones. This "universal" button usually just plays, pauses, answers calls, and now a long press will launch google now.
However, you can add an app called Jays headset app or remotecontrol for earphones app. This will enable the number or clicks to determine certain functions like volume control. GL
the 3 button headphones dont work with this phone. It is my understanding that the devices that support the 3 button controllers have a special circuit that is not present on this phone. I have a samsung 3 button and htc 3 button headset that do not work on this phone. I have tried several of the apps that allow you to program the buttons but they did not help.
Just get a nice single button headset and be happy.
Could you recommend a good single button one? My HTC earphones are screwed and I'm looking for new ones for my nexus.

If you are looking for in ear headphones, you cannot go wrong with Kipsche or Shure's with the integrated mics. If you are on a budget, Jays One + for android is an alternative you can look at for decent in ears.
For over ears, there are so many to look at. You can look at any ones that function for "i" devices and they will work for our phones. It's that ONE button or middle button that is the only thing that you are looking for it to work with your phone.

Sigh. Thanks for the information. After no USB on-to-go and a crappy battery life now this. I wonder what will come next.
I guess I will have to look for good one button headphones and an app which supports altering the function of this button. Any recommendations for such an app?
During my time googling on this very issue i came across these:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007IPKBA4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=AEUMIRKFWF0IJ
supposedly made by philips precisely for android. philips says: "Personalise your sound and buttons via the Philips Headset App" so..
however, and if i 'm not mistaken, they 're 1 button headphones - but as another person before me 's said, you apparently can determine what a certain number of clicks will do, so you probably can work around the issue.
i 'm probably getting a pair (not sure if i 'm going with these cause i 'm feeling like investing seeing as i 'm out and about a good chunk of my every day and am always listening to music - being a musician and an audiophile) next month - kinda tight financially atm , so when I do i 'll get back to you guys.
currently stuck w/ the apple headphones (not the earpods). mic works, middle button answers/ends calls and plays/pauses music - volume controls just won't work.
'nyways, hope it helped!

Does anyone else have a problem getting even a 1-button headset to work? It seems I can't even plug it in properly (sound is mono and without bass), and I tried really hard. I tested both an OEM headset that came with my ZTE Blade and a Sony MH650. Both used to work fine on the Blade but on the N4 - no way. Headsets without microphone (and one line less on the headphone jack) work fine.

This obviously means you have to look for headsets that are "Apple compatible" (minus the volume buttons)...

I thought I was so smart researching this (in a non nexus 4 specific way) ahead of time, found some a 3 button headset 'made for android' by htc, and alas, only one button works. I have to go out of my way to find an apple compatible 3 button headset to work with my google branded phone? Geez.
But thanks guys for letting me know why this one won't work. :good:

No the three button headsets are far and between. I haven't seen any that work. I mean even my old N1 headsets don't work. Well the middle button works. The iPhone 3 buttons will not work either.
Just use the one button, which I actually prefer and use an app to map button presses to forward or back up. Tedious? I guess so, but I have no issues with one button headphones. I own a slew of them lol.
I can see where I misread those posts now. No 3 buttons work at all. That sucks.
But what about the people that claim that there are headphones that actually work with the three button?

up to the phonemaker..
The support for 3 buttons or not on an Android phone is up to each phonemaker. Samsung Nexus 3 works fine with 3-button headsets for Android, so does the S3, S4, and many more.. while Nexus 4 does not But the Nexus 5 does (!)
I have a Nexus 3 and 4 and I also actually think music sounds better through the Samsung made Nexus but perphaps that is just mental or the sounchip has something to do with it.
3-Button Headset for Android
I use a 3-button headset from Degauss Labs Sweden and it works and sound great (made for Android).
http://degausslabs.com
They also have a really well working headset app (works with any headset by the way) that makes buttoncontrol programmable, so you can choose what 2,3 or more clicks will do for U.

Headset App doin it for u.
No matter what headset you might want to make that react more intelligently or atleast the way you personally would like it
aka 'tailored button actions'. I recommend using any 'headset button controller app' via Google Play. The one I use - free+adfree..

I've taken a look around for info on why my headset doesn't work properly with my phone but haven't found an explanation. I've seen there are two standards for 3.5mm connectors: CTIA and OMTP. Apple and a bunch of other manufacturers use CTIA and that's what the N4 is. In theory, 'made for iPhone' headsets should work, right?
I have a pair of Urbanears with a single button and that works. The phone always uses its mic and not the headset. Any ideas why this might be?
Thanks!

Yes, if you are talking about the mic, it should work for all CTIA compatible ones. But not so for the other additional buttons such as volume up/down which might be there for the headset.
Did you get an opportunity to try any other headset with nexus 4? For me , with my Galaxy S2 , all the CTIA headsets have worked without any issues. Would be really curious if it doesn't work with N4 , when it arrives.

This has been the case for me on both stock and MCR.
I got some RHA MA450s for Christmas and the microphone works and I can pause with a single click, skip with a double click and if I hold the button down I can use Google Now voice search. The volume buttons don't work though.

Well that's weird. Apple earpods work with the Nexus 4, so any headphone that says compatible with iPhone should also work.
I have a pair of Bowers and Wilkins C5's (built for iphone)
The centre button works
The mic works for calls and search.
The volume buttons do not work, but I think we all know this already right ???
I know a lot of people are reporting that their mic on some headphones doesnt work, which is weird.
Thanks for your replies.
This doesn't make much sense to me since I thought that the button controls were passed thru the mic contact so if my buttons work so should my mic. Does anyone think it could be the size of the plug? Maybe because of the shape of the phone the contacts aren't connecting properly?
Off the record,
could someone explain why the volume buttons don't work? Because I never understood this.
Is it a sw or a hw thing?
I use Bang and Olufsen for iPhone and the middle button only works

It shouldn't. SGS1 had tv-out functionality from the 3.5 mm jack due to which Samsung had made some modifications which made it incompatible with other handsets. [ I was using SGS1 before switching to SGS2, but not having the handset now. From what I know, the SGS1 handset wouldn't work with S2 as well ]
So I'm guessing no one else is experiencing the same issue as me? I'm thinking I should try to use one of the set that people have confirmed to be working to see if my socket is faulty.
