[HELP] Headphones / Earphones auto detection issue - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi Guys, I seek some technical help. Noticed similar problem with @steliosgta
PROBLEM: My Phone has suddenly stopped recognizing any earphones. I have tried adjusting the jack at different angles, cleaning the headset port, also flashed Fastboot images but nothing helped. But then i came across an app named "SOUNDABOUT" that helps in manually routing the audio to headset or speakers. Yes, this app worked and i confirm my headset port on the phone is working fine.
CONCLUSION: Any headphones / earphones won't auto detect on my phone unless done manually via the app. Besides i am unable to make use of "headset microphone" in either ways. Feels like HEADSET CONTROLLER problem.
Any suggestions other than those i tried in fixing this issue guys..? @matmutant any ideas..?

This makes me thinking about the following : http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1274924
Maybe that's not hardware but at least that looks to be it could be the detection mechanism that failed somehow.
(the schematic isn't the same as the 4 parts stereo+mic jack we have on our devices, but it should work in a similar manner to detect the insertion)

Strange Bluetooth issue

So, I started using a bluetooth headset recently, and decided I really like it. However, I have been getting complaints from people about a buzzing noise when I answer the phone via the headset. I have tried quite a few different headsets, and all with the same issue, which leads me to believe it is a phone problem. My phone is set to ring & vibrate, and I find myself wondering two things: 1) Has anyone else had this problem, and 2) Could the phone be somehow transmitting the sound of the vibrating to the headset or something?

people complained about noise when i made calls on standard bluetooth headsets... which is why i use 3.5mm headphones with an 11pin usb to 3.5mm adapter with a built in microphone

Sorry to say but it sounds like the digitizer is on it's way out. Replacing the digitizer is probably the only perminent fix. But don't just take my work for it, keep looking it still may yet be another solution out there for you.
I found a solution without replacing any hardware or soldering.
Follow these steps:
1. Download Android Terminal Emulator: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
2. Delete your default music player with this tutorial: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20098610-285/removing-stock-apps-on-rooted-android-devices/ (I use this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860 and my default music player was named: Music.apk)
3. Download Winamp: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5udWxsc29mdC53aW5hbXAiXQ.. (to replace your default music player)
Tell me if it works
Common issue with some headsets & ROM headset driver/software & not related to digi as far as I have seen.
So if its a common issue are there other ways to fix it? Is there no way to just disable headset input?
Seen it in threads & on 2 colleagues HD2s when using some headset types.
Problem is audio feed bridges to remote connector on some leads with less than perfect connectors for the HD2 jack.
Using a standard headset adapted to 3.5mm female after buttons is one good option.
Saw a few threads on people looking for way to isolate remote driver but do not know the outcome but worth doing some searching.

Done on standard original headset lead it works perfect with after market headsets.
You may also get lucky with adapter like your link ...
What is the model name of that adapter?
And isn't that a 2,5 mm jack?
3.5mm jack added to standard genuine headset, done similar to my original headset and use aftermarket headphones & retain standard remote function without issues.

Samsung - Stereo Headsets 3.5mm (EO-EG920BW) mic not working :(

I prefer these headphones much more than my old Apple ones. They buttons work fine without an extra app but the mic doesn't seem to work. Can't tell if it's a software issue or a hardware one.
Anyone else have some insight on this issue?
Try using different headsets with mic to make sure it's not your phone, then use the same headset with different phones to make sure it's not your headset, and use same headset same phone with different softwares to see. Then use same headset same phone same software but different audio file. Sounds complicated, but it's easier done.
I did some tests and indeed the mic is broken on the headset and has nothing to do with the phone. Thank you for the feed back!

H96MAX Bluetooth microphone not working

Hi,
I have a H96 Max android box, with Android 9.0, CPU : RK3318.
I'm having hard time using by Bluetooth headset, as the microphone does not work.
I have used Sony SBH80 and Sony WH1000XM3 headsets. Pairing works, audio output works, but the mic doesn't.
I have made a couple of tests, including some web audio testing pages in chrome, apps like Mic test from Play Store and also in google assistant. The most information I've got from the Mic test app, as it shows red and green status when a device is on. And in fact, when the recording using the BT headset should take place, the LED is green, but there is no sound being recorded.
I have tested both headsets with a OnePlus5 and on both the mic works normally.
I have also connected a USB mic to the H96 and it also works fine, sound is recorded.
So the problem I think is that the level of the sound input from the BT mic on the H96 is 0.
I have looked into /etc/mixer_paths.xml and also into /vendor/etc/audio_policy_configuration.xml but I don't see anything suspicious there.
Can anyone help?
BR,
Astagor
Also, if anybody could recommend an Android TV box on which the Bluetooth headset works (both audio out and microphone) I would be very grateful. The requirements I have for the box are: Google Play Store works, it has an ETH connector. The rest is not so important. I want to use 6 boxes to make a constant WebRTC connection between them using Chrome. The users would use the BT headsets to pick them up and to communicate.
Thanks!
I have bought 3 more boxes:
T95 max+
T9
MX10+
on none of these devices the headset mode works properly.
The closest to working was the T95max+, it discovered properly the BT headset, but when in communication mode, the mic did not work either.
I have tested the headset with 3 other android phones, and there it works out of the box.
So I guess all 4 Android TV boxes I have tested fail to have the correct setting for BT headsets.
Anyone got this to work on a box?
Microphone not detected in t9 tv box
I am too experiencing the same problem, if anyone have a solution please share it thanks in advance

Bluetooth earbuds connected but sound playing through phone speakers

So I just got some new earbuds and they connect perfectly, except the sound comes out of my phone speakers. The weird part is they are fully functional for phone calls. I'm on pixel experience as well.
I've tried;
-connecting to another device (works fine)
-doing everything ever posted on an issue similar to this online (nothing works) eg, making sure media audio is enabled, restarting phone, restarting ear buds, resetting bluetooth data.
Only thing I haven't tried is factory reset which might have to be next :/
Any help would be amazing cheers...
When a friend of mine uses TeamSpeak on his phone he has to Enable "Use Bluetooth" via the TeamSpeak options first!
Maybe you have to do something similar ?!
Just guessing here... Hope you figure it out!
