Ok, I've never had a headset before, I'll admit it. Can anyone tell me what the heck I'm doing wrong? I turned headset on, paired it with the phone and the phone recognized it. I try to make a call or take a call and either A. Nothing happens and sound is in handset like normal, or B. I can't hear anything or talk on either.
I should add that when I hold the button on my headset to transfer calls from phone to headset, nothing happens.. also, the "turn on hands-free" option under the call menu isn't available.
Is there anything available that will force my HD2 to use the internal mic while a headset is plugged into the 3.5mm socket?
I often use my HD2 to listen to music in my car using a 3.5mm jack to jack cable into the aux in port just near my handbrake which works a charm.
When I get a call the music is interrupted and if I answer it I can hear the caller through my car speakers however they can't hear me as the phone is in headset mode and is expecting a mic to be plugged in.
I don't think it's a simple case of re-routing which mic is used as while that may technically work the caller would be able to hear themselves delayed through my cars sound system. I need the phone to send the mic into speaker mode so it has a detection system that stops the caller hearing themselves but send the output through the headset socket.
I hope that makes sense?
seems strange that it does not working .. i use this way to listen music & gps instructions and it is working ok, with the phone's microphone.. try i different 3.5mm jack (stereo) .. or you have a cooked rom ?
I just tried a different cable and it's working! strange for some reason the HD2 must have thought my cable was headset?
Thanks!
yeah it dosnt work cuz if u look @ the original headset it has 3 lines which meant 2 for the stereo ear pice and 1 for the mic, i have the same prob i dnt like the origenal headset so i use mine which means i have to unplug it every time i get a call, but i think the only way to use good headset with mic is to buy the iphone headset, its the same priciple with a better sound quality of the headset
If your jack has only 3 contacts, the phone can sense there's no 4th one, so there's no mic, and uses the internal mic. If your cable has 4 contacts, it will try to use external mic even if there's actually none.
oooo yeah u r right, lol, jst tried it it work
thnx man
wow, i was just asking myself the same question. i have a pair of sennheiser earphones(without mic), when i take an incoming call the other side cannot hear me most of times. but, sometimes the internal microphone is activated and i can speak using my earphones. this seems a quite random problem, i don't understand. even with skype, sometime i can use earphones, some other time i'm forced to unplug using the loudspeaker...boh...
i want my phone mic since my built in carstero mic is to far away
On a similar note, is it possible to have the internal speaker announce GPS instructions while I'm playing music via Bluetooth?

I got myself a bluetooth headset recently. It's Plantronics 855, and I had one with my old phone until I lost it. Never had a problem with it. However, with my Shift, it's started this funny thing where the phone will say the headset is paired but not connected. I'll click it to connect, and it will say "Connected to Media Audio," but it never connects to phone audio. The only solution that I have found is to restart the phone.
Anyone know anything about this, or experience anything similar? Better yet, know a solution?
FWIW, I'm running MikShifted-G.
I'm not sure if this is a headset issue, or Rom issue. Try deleting the headset out of the phone. Power down the phone, then restart the phone. Then try pairing the headset back up, and see if that solves the issue. If not, do you have another cell phone you can pair the headset up with? To check if the issue follows the headset. Then maybe try pairing up another headset to the phone.
I'll give all of that a shot. I do have another phone I can pair with - a Blackberry. I had the headset connected to it for a while, but not long enough to see if this problem happened.
I have the same issue
I have an android, thunderbolt phone, and a jabra drive handsfree car speaker and the same thing happens to me.
Sometimes turning bluetooth off and on works other times rebooting the phone works and sometimes nothing works and then a day later it pairs.
I hate blue tooth. A wire always works.
It's a headset AND phone issue. But never had an earpiece connect to the wrong one.
I've tried posting something similar to this without any responses, so please don't bump this thread.
I need to see if anyone has this problem. My n4 did not have this issue.
Shouldn't the 3.5mm line out take precedence over a Bluetooth headset? When I have my bt headset turned on and connected, sometimes I want to play something at home or in my car that requires the line out. Once I plug the 3.5mm jack into the phone, the music starts playing in the cars aux radio even with Bluetooth on. I can be listening to music in my headset but once that cable is plugged in, it auto switches to line out.
The problem is that after anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 minutes, the music will re route back to the headset taking over the line out while line out was still playing.
Sometimes I will reconnect the 3.5 cable and it will re route to that but like I said it will eventually route back to the bt headset, so the music stops playing in the car radio, but I'll pick up my bt headset and hear it routed back to that again. Driving me crazy!!
Can anyone please replicate this? It doesn't need to be the line out going to another receiver, so u can even try plugging in headphones but make sure you are paired to an a2dp Bluetooth headset first. Within a few minutes, as long as there isn't anything wrong with my phone, you should get the same problem.
So what I've been doing is turning off the bt on my headset while using line out but it's annoying when I get another call because I have to quickly turn on the headset, wait for it to connect, and then answer the call. Like I said the nexus 4 did not have this problem.
Please help.

Every time i plug in my heaphones that have no controlls connected to it, my phone reads them as if they did have controlls. When i move the wire a little, iether the track skips or pauses and sometimes google voice commands opens. Is there a fix for this problem. I tried an app that forces the phone to think that is a regular headphone plug but that had no effect other than the speakers didnt work. Please let me know if there are other ways to fix the proble?
I have the ATT version(D850).
