Can anybody confirm that headphones with in line mic work with the nexus 7?
I was using Samsung headset with inline mic (for skype) but I am not sure if it really works or it is picking up the voice with the build in mics!
Thanks!

Best I can tell, no it does not. I've tried several, including my Apple Earbuds from an iPhone 4s. The headphones work but the Nexus only uses it's own mic, and the buttons do nothing.
There is a thread about this somewhere but basically the documentation says it does but we haven't gotten a confirmed report of it working. It appears to be a software issue

Hi guys, I just got my nexus 4 today. My friend brought it down to India from the US and so far I love everything about the phone. Its absolutely stunning but I did notice this one issue and just wanted to see what everyone thought about it.
The phone speakers work absolutely fine but when I plug in any earphones, the sound quality is screwed up. I can't hear lyrics of songs and the music seems to be missing an entire section of it. I think the mids aren't heard all. Even the ringtones and SMS tones sound weird with the earphones plugged in. And another odd bug is that sometimes when I plug in the earphones, the phone spontaneously opens voice search. Or when I select a ringtone or notification tone, voice search just opens.
Has anyone else had this issue? And do you think its a hardware problem or a software bug. All I did with the phone was unlock and root it so far. I really hope it isn't hardware cuz I don't even live in the US and sending it in for warranty is unrealistic.

Have you tried a second set of headphones or speakers? It sounds like the headphone connector is not making a proper connection. I've found that the jack on the N4 is quite tight. I have a 3.5mm cable that won't click in properly but all my headphones fit fine.
Yes I tried 2 sets so far and the same thing happens. And these earphones work perfectly on other phones.
I just noticed another bug. Voice search can't recognize what I'm saying with the earphones plugged in. But it works fine without earphones.

Could be a faulty jack.
Since it works fine on speaker mode, and the headphones work fine with other phones, thats the only thing I feel that could be wrong with it.
So it should be a pretty minor thing to fix then, right? It couldn't be a serious problem like a sound card/chip problem or something worse?
If its just an earphone jack connection error I don't mind waiting for the nexus 4 to launch here in India and just paying the service center to fix it since it should be cheap and I rarely listen to music on my phone anyway.
If it could be a serious issue then I should probably mail it to the US to have it fixed :/

Are you by any chance trying the earphones with mic?
Yes both of them had mics. But why should that be an issue?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Yup, that's probably the issue. Take my example, I have two Motorola phones i.e. Defy+ and Electrify. Their earphones are not compatible to each other and gives the same issue mentioned by you.
Try connecting an earphone without mic, it would be fine.
--
As there are two types of earphones with mic available, you'll have to try different ones to find one which is compatible. For me, the earphones + mic for iPhone works fine on my Electrify but not on my Defy+
OK thanks. Let me try this out on earphones that don't have a mic. I don't have any around so I'll have to go borrow a friend's.
By the way. The earphones I used were the Samsung galaxy s2 ear buds and a superdry headset with built in mic

If it sounds all whishy washy and is missing complete frequency ranges that could mean the channels are crossing over into each other.
I really do think it's a faulty headphone jack.
this happens to me with s2 and lg 2x headphones

OK I just tested the phone on my friend's speakers and the audio output is fine. Guess it was just those earphones that it wasn't working with.

u were having a problem because there are two standards of the 3.5mm jack... one is what apple does, which was actually wrong but has now been accepted as the correct standard :| ...companies like Sony used the global standard up till the Xperia Arc of 2011, but with their 2012 phones they switched to the format apple uses....the difference is in the configuration of the rings, specifically when theres an inline mic included with the headset....u can test thing by playing a song through the headphones, when u hold the button on the headphones, the sound will become ok...

Which are the headphones which didnt work and the one which did work?
I've had headphone jack problems with both my Android phones before the N4 -- in particular, Pandora would prematurely skip to the next song because it interpreted some contact bounce or some such from the headphone jack as a button press. With the N4, I've noticed that if I'm watching a video using headphones (plain headphones, no microphone or controls) and rotate the plug in the jack, voice search will pop up. I think the Android software that detects button pushes on a headphone control is too sensitive.
It didn't work using the galaxy s2 earphones and Superdry headphones. Both of em have mics.
It worked with my friend's Sony xperia s earphones and with some random speakers.

Are the earphones supposed to go in at an angle? (Can't believe I never noticed this before)
It looks weird, never had a phone that does that.
Also, where is the headset icon?
Its the only phone I've had that shows no differences from having earphones plugged in.
Also, earphone volume isn't that loud at all, can anyone confirm?
seems a lot quieter through the earphones when compared to my One-X although rear speaker is nice and loud (and clear too!)
Your thoughts?

I thought the earphones volume was pretty low as well. I hope it can be fixed with a software patch or mod

Thank you for this excellent explanation. I had exactly the same problem with my Sony MH650 headset. I already thought my headphone jack was faulty.
And thanks Apple for bringing up this "standard".

Yes, special N4 design.
shure
i hope my shure will work, this things cost more than a phone
just kidding.
i guess i will now pay more attention while watching youtube reviews and correcting autors when they say: "it has standard 3.5mm headphone jack"
Whenever I have a conversation using the speakerphone, the person on the other line complains that the call quality is very bad. Is this happening with any of you as well? I tried calling a friend who has the Nexus 4 as well and I can barely understand anything he's saying.
I'm using a case, but the two microphones are not blocked. I tried the Audio mod by Miszled but it didn't improve the call quality.

Same here. Have not tried the mod probably i try it. The speaker quality during call is bad. I have to decrease the volume to 1 or 2 points for the clarity,
Mines works good with everyone I've talked top using speaker phone.. Running stock rooted 4.2.2

Borrow headphones (with mic) to test on your phone, then test your AKGs on another phone.
IPhone headphone work find with mic. but volume control is not working, in AKG all working except mic. And JVC XXX Extreme explode headphone which unfortunately does not have mic in built

Apple's volume control on their headsets will not work on Android devices. Same goes in vice-versa for some of the in-line microphones due to different impedance values.
I have the same issue with the same headphones but after unplugging and plugging it several times I manage to get it to detect the mic.
I test with Google search bar if it can hear me. I am also investigating why it is not stable, but I can tell you that sometimes work. I will post more here if I find more info.

Now I can almost make the phone detect them by plugging them slowly, like in two steps. One till the headphones make a sound and a bit further in to complete pushing them inside. Right after the mic works. I would suggest to try that.

Your solution kinda works, but it's annoying.

Don't tell me... However the headphones work with other telephones without any problems and other headphones work with the op3 at first attempt. No idea.

I told OP helpdesk about the issue. They responded OP3T is compatible with every CTIA headphones but it'd be the best to use bullets.
Same here. These headphones worked fine with Samsung Galaxy S8, Tab S, Ace4, Huawei P8 lite, LG G4, Sony Z3 and some Asus smartphone.
I won't buy any OnePlus smartphone.
Hi friends
When I try to talk with the microphone in the game, my voice is not going to the team mates. If I put my mouth to the bottom microphone, they can only hear. I talked to Samsung customer service, The game is not optimized for the phone, That's why we couldn't do anything, they said.
What is the experience of S10 plus(Duos) owners?
Thanks in advance.

When your team mates are using headphones and your are not you get this problem, why ? I have no idea... but it's my expérience with my s10+ exynos, so to solve the problem you should plug in your headphones too or your team mates take off theirs.
Works great with wired headset. but without headphones or with Bluetooth headset, as described above. The microphone of the Bluetooth headphones does not work at all in pubg, otherwise works with phone calls. (I tired with Galaxy buds and level on bt headsets)
is there anyone else who has this problem? just me?

I think this is a completely different problem. my phone calls are pretty clear. Last pubg update made a little bit hearable but this time makes so much noises. Teammates wants to me turn the mic off.

I have played PUBG with latest unlocked firmware of android 10 from Germany. There is no audio issue with calls or PUBG now. I believe this is a firmware issue.
