Using headphone jack disable phone mic - T-Mobile LG G2x

The G2X disables the internal mic when the headphone jack is used... This means I can't use my car input jack and input channel for speakers for phone calls.
Without the internal mic, the callers can't hear me...
I see no way to enable to internal speaker when the headphone jack is enabled...
This worked perfect on the Vibrant...

This also works on the Nexus One.
Simple software thing that shouldn't be an issue, but is.

I think it depends on the ROM. I used a few that disabled the mic when i used headphones on my N1 too, but most ROMs didn't have that problem.

I think it depends on the ROM too. I used to run my Nexus with MIUI and the mic worked fine while playing through car speakers.

Force all sound via the jack and not the speaker

Hi,
How is it possible to force all sounds to go the headphone jack and not to the speaker ?
I would like to be certain that the music I am playing on my Windows Mobile phone is going through the headphone.
Why? because sometimes I accidentally remove the headphone jack from the phone and the music is then going loudly out of the speaker of the phone !! very annoying !
Chris
Take the phone apart, check by the headphone socket for how it detects a jack is inserted. On my old iPaq the jack moved a tab inside it breaking the circuit to the rear speaker. If memory serves, the speaker wasn't soldered in, it fitted a socket, pretty sure one of my older phones was like that too.
Of course it'd make your device useless as a phone without a working speaker, and you could end up destroying your phone completely.
Try looping a rubber band around your phone and the headphone jack to keep it in place, or just be more careful, or get bluetooth headphones
I don't want to physically remove the speaker of my phone. I find the speaker very useful when talking at home talking to people.
The problem is that I don't want the speaker to be used when I am listening music on the phone.
So the solution would have to be a software one.

bluetooth headset or rubber band are your best bets then.

What do you mean by bluetooth headset ? If I put my mobile phone in bluetooth headset, would it solve the problem ?

Ye it will cause you cant accidentally pull it out cause it doesnt use the jack, but negativ is that it drains battery and i think its much, and if the battery on the bluetooth headset dies i think that it stil will think its on so it doesnt use the speaker, so thats the best solution, i dont think people here can make a hack for that cause i think its to advance, hasnt been a issue before and even if no one has made a hack. so i think its the best and maybe only solution. sorry my english hope it helpt
edit: hope you know that you need to use a bluetooth headset, and you cant just make the choice on the phone without use a real headset
So I will look with a bluetooth headset. True it drains more battery and this kind of headset needs to be power charged (so easy to forget )

Interesting ! that's exactly what I want ?

No headphone sound since 3.2 update.

Has anyone lost sound out of the headphone jack.

any ideas what to try?
Works fine for me (running stock).
Try pulling the headphone out slowly while listening for sound. Also have you tried different headphones/speakers?
3.2 stock, headphones working perfectly fine!
isn't muted, right?

Can you get sound out of the built in speakers? are you running stock 3.2? Do you have root?
Working fine for me on my stock unit.
Working fine for me too. I'd suspect you're either muted, or the headphone jack / headphones themselves are physically damaged.
+1 for headphones & speakers working fine one Stock 3.2. As with what everyone else is saying, try to troubleshoot and make sure all of your settings are correct: known working pair of headphones, volume turned up, headphones plugged in correctly, nothing inside the headphone jack (like dust bunny), sound works through regular speakers, etc.
Then if headphones still don't work through your headphone jack, probably something coincidentally went bad around the same time as your update to 3.2.
Good luck and let us know if all goes well or if you have to RMA it..
I can play music from the speakers but when I plug in headphones I hear sound for one second then nothing, this happens with all my headphone that work on other devices.

Sounds like your speaker jack might be bunk. But have you tried to wiggle it while the headphones are plugged into the jack? Maybe the headphone jack has a broken solder joint and if you wiggle it, you can make a connection. If this works, then you know the headphone jack inside is broken.
Then I'd called Asus and have them issue an RMA.

Do you get an indication in your notification area that headphones are plugged in? It should pop up in the lower right the moment you plug in your headphones saying 'Audio jack connected- audio jack is plugged in'.
Bestbuy replaced it for me, YEA no wait.

[Q] Headphones issue

Hi all.
I'm running in a strange kind of issue.
My HTC headphone seemed not to work any more. That is, my Sensation (both CM9 and ARHD) recognized it as simple headphone, no microphone.
So I got one extra HTC headphone. No way: they just work as headphones without the microphone.
Then I bought a EUR 10.- "compatible" headphones. They worked fine out of the box under both ARHD and CM9. Those are too crappy and the wire on one of the earpieces just broke.
Now my questions.
1. Do you think I just broke 2 HTC headphones or maybe there's some issue with those custom ROMs?
2. Who can it be that a non-HTC, cheap and crappy headphones can work fine?
3. Any hint?
TIA.

Hi,
My BOSE headphone/microphone works fine on ARHD.
Is there any dust or fluff in the headphone socket.
This will stop the pin going in fully,and not work properly.

I've tried the two headphones on another Sensation and they work.
I've tried to use a vacuum cleaner to pump any fluff out of the socket.
But I still get the same: only headphones, no microphone.
This is happening also with CM9.
What the **** is happening to my phone/headphones?

Have a look at the port for your headphone jack. Does it look like the paint is slightly chipped and you can see the silver underneath? Is so then unfortunately like myself you have the issue of the connection shorting as the jack touches the metal case of the phone. This thread might be of some help.

I fear you can be badly right!
I also get the music player started while listening to the FM Radio.
Yes, it looks like a ghost contact!
I'll try to apply solution no.2 as no.1 is pretty ugly!

Headphone microphone doesn't work

When I use my OPO with headphones and get a call, I can hear the person through the headset but the mic doesn't work/pick up my voice and neither does the phone mic. I have to take out the headphones and phone the person back for them to hear me.
Does anyone else have this problem? I tested them on my N4 and the work fine.
What headphones are you using? My Pistons work fine.

A lot of people are having this problem. It has to do with the TRRS OMTP vs CTIA configuration (left,right,mic,ground vs left,right,ground,mic) and maybe something to do with resistances as well. If your headphones were designed for "iPhone" chances are the mic won't work. People have tried using the CTIA OMTP adapters, but that hasn't worked. There are some headphones that do work, (like the Pistons mentioned above). One thing you can do to fix this problem is download soundabout from google play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix&hl=en). In the wired headset section, you can tell it to ignore the mic in headsets, this way it will still use the builtin oneplus mic instead of your headphone mic. Not a good fix, but it's all we can do until they come up with a patch. This is a huge issue that's been on Jira, but there's no indication if this will ever be fixed.

Well we have stereo speakers anyone found a way to make it work?

No, we do not have stereo speakers... the Moto G has one speaker and an earpiece, in some devices you can make the earpiece act like a second speaker, but it doesn't seem to work in this device.

Don't the head phone jacks (earpiece) provide stereo if head phones vice an ear piece were plugged in?

Yes, of course the headset is stereo, and other than the low volume (by my standards) the audio quality is quite good. By "earpiece" I mean the handset earpiece used when making and receiving calls in the traditional way.
Perhaps I misjudged the OPs question???
