Headphones jack not working? - T-Mobile LG G2x

A little pissed that no headphone plus came with the phone, si I haven't tested, however it appears that my car audio input it not working on the g2x I can hear the caller, but they can't hear me has anyone tested phone calls using ear plugs?

When I plug into my car input, the external phone mic appears to be turned off and I can hear callers, but they can't hear me.
On my vibrant, I use my car speakers to listen and the phone mic to talk
Is there a way to keep the phone mic on when the jack is plugged in?

when using the head phones on my phone it still sends the audio to the speaker. The phone recognizes that something is plugged in but it still plays through the speaker on the phone. My guess it's a software bug. Can anyone confirm?

Skullcandy 50/50 Mic Problem

I just bought the skullcandy 50/50 headphones, the mic doesn't seem to work with the thunderbolt, if I pull it half way out the mic works but no sounds from the headphones, so are the pins in the wrong places? it's odd because I have and old pair of apple headphones for the first iPhone mic works with. Anyone know which headphones work with the thunderbolt with built in mic? Thanks.
I'm not sure if there is a list, but I have a pair of BeatsbyDre Studio's and everything works fine.

I have Skullcandy, FMJ's and they usually work well. From time to time I have your problem. But if I unplug and replug it works again.

I bought the same headphones! Same problem. Did some research but can't figure it out. Sucky part is its just a software problem, but like that will be fixed soon lol

It might be because they are iPod / iPhone only. says so on the packaging. I believe they have a slightly different plug that has an extra piece for transmission of the play/pause/skip buttons.
I don't think they will ever work for a thunderbolt... might want to return them. I have a Bose pair that works flawlessly, also the standard skullcandy headsets will work fine.

Audio Jack problems.

Has anybody noticed that the audio jack problems?
i have this issues where im talking on the phone and im using the headphones and i have to plug out and plug back in the headphones so that the other person can hear me.
anybody else having this issues?
I have similar issue only it's when I plug in external devices, speaker goes in and out, like you have to plug and unplug to have it work right.

yeah same issue here. have to unplug then plug back in so that the other person can hear me.
I have had this problem too but it was because I didn't get the headset plugged in all the way. It is harder to plug in than other headsets I've had in the past.
Yea I had this problem all the time till one day I pushed it all the way down. Its got a lock pin on it and you gotta push it down all the way till it clicks.

External speaker

I'm currently running cm7 1.5.2, whenever I plug in this external speaker I have it's super quite (media volume all the way up). It sounds fine on my I pod so I know it's not the speaker.. I think my problem is that the phone sees it as headphones thus making it a little bit more quite when in reality I want it louder.. Anyone know of a fix or workaround?

I had a similar issue when using my TB with either an external speaker or a cassette adapter. I think my problem was that the TB thought it had a headset/mic combo plugged in and tried to use the external speaker as a mic also...
I bought this device (a TRRS splitter) which separates the mic and speaker into two 3.5mm female aux ports and plug my speaker/cassette adapter into one of the ports (green). Works great.

Hope that helps.

What's the issue?

Well I use the headphones that came with my old Sensation with my One S now. So in the past few days they were quite iffy...worked for a few seconds and stopped, control buttons stopped working, etc. And now they just stopped working with my phone completely now. However, other headphones work with my phone, and the headphones work with other devices. My solution was to use small headphone thingy (extender I believe?) and they work fine (besides the control buttons not working). So I need some help with finding the issue here.
EDIT: To clarify the question, I'm asking why the headphones work with everything but my device unless I use the extender thing.

This is the thing I used to get them working again. Still can't figure out what the issue was with.

You're not the only one with wired headphone issues. Seems like the one s has a sensitive jack -maybe the contacts are slightly prone to bending. When you use that extension cable not only should the buttons not work but neither should the mic. Does rotating the headphone plug in the jack help at all? If so, you might have a slight bend in the plug.

No, twisting didn't change/do anything.

how many rings are on your headphone plug? if it's not three, then they won't work. i had an issue like that with an aux cable in my car. but when i got one with a mic and three rings, it worked just fine

No...I'm not sure if I have any with only two rings.

i'd say try to find one with two rings, or like my aux cable it has three on one end and two on the other. it's strange but works perfectly
I find headphones with mics or controls die within days. I'm using a cheap pair of monoprice in ear buds now and they've lasted for months.

Ok, that information is either lacking context or completely false. Each ring separates the contact areas for functions. Left speaker, right speaker and Mic/controls. If there is only one ring, the sound will be mono, 2 rings is either stereo or mono with a mic, depending on ring locations. Three is stereo with a Mic or stereo with another type of input. The circuit is designed to ground the other channels when they are not separated. If you plug in a 2 ring jack for stereo headphones, the icon in the status bar will show headphones. A three ring jack for stereo with a Mic will show an icon of headset with a Mic on them (like a pilot's). When a channel is unused it gets grounded by the circuit to the common. The spacing for ring locations is standardized. Make sure the headphones are seated correctly.
You can try to play with them to see if the headphones are following the standards by partially inseting them. When not fully inserted, only one speaker will work. My guess is that the headphones are not seating fully and causing issues. Either they are bottoming out before the contacts make full contact, or they are hitting the phone case preventing them from making good contact.

The headphones are seated correctly. Case isn't interfering with anything. Partially inserting did nothing.

Help with sound

My problem is that as of today when I plug my headphones into my phone (I do get the headphone icon at the top) then I go play music or anything and it comes out the built in speaker.
Anyone help me with this, I lightly cleaned the Jack thinking that was the problem but no and the phone sees the headphones.
