Mic cuts out when connected to car stereo

Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone has had any success in fixing this problem? I have a 2 ring 2.5 to 3.5mm adapter connected (so it should only be routing the audio, not the mic) and sometimes the caller can hear me, sometimes not. At one stage I found by unplugging the cable, setting to speakerphone, then unsetting speakerphone and plugging the cable back in would get it to work, but not anymore... I am thinking there is a setting on the phone I might have to change.
Any ideas?!?! I love my XDA II mini but this is driving me up the wall!
A photo of the adapter I'm using can be seen here: https://secure4.vivid-design.com.au/electus/products_uploaded/productLarge_2306.jpg

I guess you have the wrong adapter. To have the mic working you need a 4 pole adapter like this one:

Thanks for the reply esackbauer, what gets me though is it did work at one stage. Why would it suddenly only work intermittently?
Cheers,

Hmmmmm, I may have solved it... In phoneAlarm v1.13 there is a setting under Alarm "Mute also mutes phone", which was set to enabled. After disabling it the mic started working again. Hopefully this is the solution!

jlitjens, i have the same "problem", only I'm not using PhoneAlarm. In my case it's like this: i have a 3 pole adapter, and normally the mic doesnt work when I've connected the car stereo to my Mini. But, when I start MS VoiceCommand, it does. Now and then it doesnt work, but after reconnecting it will...... strange.....

Nexus 4 aux car problem

Hey guys, does anyone have a problem with their aux when playing music in the car?
When i plug the wire in, the music plays with the external speakers rather than the car speakers?
My htc one x plays fine :/
Any ideas?

Is the aux cable working fine on other devices? Have you tried other apps? Mine works fine on my car, only issue I have is that the volume is too low...

this.

Mine is working perfect in 2 cars.

i think its possible that i didnt ground the aux cord correctly when I did it long time ago
but in the mean time i found a fix for it, there this app called "SoundAbout" it forces the audio out as "wired headset with mic"
but still, the strange thing is, it works fine on my htc one x / iphone

Thumping sound on headphones

I've noticed a loud thumping sound, same loudness as whatever I'm listening to, while using headphones or plugged into the auxiliary input in my car. It happens whenever I do an action like exit or open an app, or when an audio track ends or starts, example being whenever tracks change in Play Music.
Verizon is sending me a replacement phone, so I'll post if I notice it on the next one or not.

Same on T-Mobile version
It happens on my car aux input. Every time I hit play on a song, there is an audible thump before the music starts

This happens to me as well on my VZW G2. Mainly when its plugged into my car and I change tracks.

It happens to me too

New phone is still doing it, but not as bad. Most pronounced in Play Music.

No problem here with headphones or usb aux in Pioneer head. VZW Variant.

I know its not the car's aux input (via headphone jack) as 2 other phones work fine in the same car.

No clue. The two and only things relating to audio I have modded is increasing gain to 65 and removing the headphone notification. Doubt the latter makes a dif. I have used the tone 730 bts, 4 dif sets of plug headphones (one had separate jack for Mic), two dif USB wires for aux through mpt on Pioneer head unit, and one headphone to headphone aux input on Pioneer unit. I get crisp clean audio, no thump.

I've noticed mine does it in the car but when I connect to a Bluetooth speaker or use headphones it doesn't

ok, I've narrowed it down to only happening to me on Google Play Music on the current phone. I have someone from google working on the issue with me now. Did try a different aux/headphone cable, no difference.

Discovered another app that does it, Stitcher. Same behavior, whenever a podcast is started/stopped. Google punted the issue saying its hardware. I opened a case with LG support and they said they are already aware of the problem and are working on a solution to be included in a future update.

Mine does it even on bluetooth. Tested with a jbl charge and a jambox mini.

[Q] Hdmi audio issue for M.O.J.O

I have had my Mad Catz M.O.J.O for about 4 months now and It is rooted. I have everything set up where I have 2 computer speakers connected to my tv while the M.O.J.O. is connected via Hdmi. However, I have been having problems with the sound not coming out of the tv. It has of course worked at some point before. I have tried to search it, but I haven't found anyone else with the same issue for the M.O.J.O. The sound is enabled and turned up in the settings.

Hi!
Just for clarification have you tried playing sound on your TV via HDMI from another device than the Mojo? And does the Mojo play sound when plugging the speakers directly to it's audio jack?

Yes I have. Before I used the M.O.J.O, I used my laptop to connect to the tv for games, movies, etc. The sound worked fine.
The M.O.J.O does connect with the speakers if you plug them in directly to the audio jack, but it doesn't use 100% of the speakers. It will have some sound in one speaker and in the other there will be no sound.
I recently bought a Griffin Aux Audio Cable to try. I connected one end to the M.O.J.O and the other end to my tv's audio jack. While using the cable, the sound doesn't instantly work, but after some minutes it appears to in a sense reconnect the M.O.J.O sound to the tv. After the sound reconnects, I can then connect my speakers and then everything works perfect.
I'm not exactly sure why, but the problem is solved for now.

Did you figure out why it works or not?
I recently swapped my ouya for mojo and I dont get sound on HDMI at all no matter what cable/port combination I use, the sound is present on speaker output.

If I were you I would try to return it if I can or try to use the warranty if it still has one.
The problem from mine progressed and worsened to where I just sent it off to Mad Catz. I had got another one (latest model) and it works much better. If you didn't buy it and just swapped out, I am currently selling mine. It's practically new with no problems. If not, I hope I was somewhat helpful.

The headphone port on my unit looks installed improperly - I do get sound via headphones, but its possible its short circuited somewhere and the unit is cutting off HDMI audio thinking the phones are plugged in, I will return it and see if they can fix it, but I expect its something silly like this.

Ok, Mad Catz is very helpful when helping fix issues for their customers. They should be able to help you with the problem. Call them and or file a ticket to send it in.

Fixed,
The issue was that my unit was a refub and the headphone jack was soldered incorrectly, we unsoldered the jack and short circuited all the right pins and now i have working sound
