Workaround for headphones? - Verizon Droid Charge

I know it is an issue that the earbuds work for listening to music. Anyone know of a workaround for them to work for phone calls? Worked just fine on my fascinate.

Sure
I can use the headphones to listen to music no problem at all. However I cannot use them at all for talking on the phone. The caller cannot hear me at all (yes I checked and they are not on mute) Ive tried 3 different pairs of headphones too.

phone calls sound fine on mine, hear it through the headphones and speak into the mic on the phone like its speakerphone.. to do it all directly through the headphones is possible you just need the proper ones

hmmm ok cool thanks

Are you rooted? I think the stock rom has issues as you described, but any other rom should work fine.

...do your headphones have a mic?

Yep rooted and yea the headphones have a mic, they are my old bb storm earbuds. Weird, worked fine on my fascinate.

pandora audio quality

does anyone else's pandora audio quality sound like garbage? I have set my pandora setting to high quality audio and it still sounds terrible. Slacker radio sounds fine, and so does pandora on my samsung captivate. Any suggestions?

Check in sound settings. You should have a few options there. I mean in the settings of your phone not pandora

Thanks, I tried all that and no dice... Also, I uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing seems to work. I guess I'm stuck with slacker radio. Thanks again.

Slacker radio is the same way. They are aware of the issue but are blaming it on android itself and the way it interprets the codecs they use for streaming. No idea if they plan to fix it or not.

I get iffy sound. I'm using really good headphones and thought about the beats and xplod mod but haven't rooted yet.. Even w/ good cell quality the sound qual is not the best. Gonna root this weekend and try the mod possibly and see what happens.

[Q] How to disable the external speaker when headphones are in?

Hello
Whenever I have my headphones in, the music plays through the headphones. However, notifications and such if they're turned on will produce sound through the external speaker even if headphones are in. Is there a way to disable this feature? I was hoping it would be possible to disable the external speaker when headphones are in, and only produce sound through the headphones.
Thanks for reading!

I use an app called "soundabout". That's the only way I have found to make it work.

Mine plays through the headphones and speaker. I'm sure people at the gym hate me.

Weird I never had that problem before every sound plays through my headset(the ones with a built-in Mic).

That's odd lol. Do you have any special settings enabled? What rom are you running?

Thank you - I will try this out now.
It works. Took a little messing with the settings to get it working.
I have the first 2 boxes checked.

Bluetooth audio equalizer for MAXX?

I've recently upgraded from the HTC Rezound which was rooted/S-off and all that good stuff. I used DSP manager quite a bit connecting to my UE Boom box. I haven't been running a Moto phone in quite some time and was curious what equalizer would work best. The stock one does OK at best via the speaker but Bluetooth music sounds almost muffled now where it wasn't before. Thanks guys :beer:

I've been playing with the built-in equalizer and I don't believe it touches bluetooth audio, at least from what I can tell. Anyone know an app that does?

[Q]Bluetooth popping/clicking

I want to love this phone but I am having difficulty for one reason: Bluetooth issues.
So I have a Note 3, my wife has an S4, a friend has an S5. 2 I know have the M8. I loved the Note 3 but Kit Kat has killed it until I can root it at least.
Anyway, all of these phones work flawlessly streaming bluetooth music to my car EXCEPT the M8. I had a Rezound for 5 minutes and it had the same issue. It is just this annoying clicking sound that is similar but worse than the stock camera click.It happens about every 10 seconds on the dot. I drive a 2011 Kia Optima LX (daddy car, ha). I know it isn't boom sound because that isn't enabled over bluetooth. I tried playing with max volume, low volume, mid volume. I tried a 3rd party equalizer. I tried streaming music, youtube videos/music, local files...all the same clicking. ALL HTC phones I have tried have the same issue! I I have no idea what to try. I also tried turning NFC off...wifi off. Driving out into the middle of nowhere to make sure there is no interference. This does not happen through the speakers or headphones. Only Bluetooth. I am at wits end!
I really would hate to return this over that issue, but I will. I want to love it - but something like this is annoying enough to make me hate it. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I cold do to fix this?
Thanks for any information.
I have the same problem with Pandora over Bluetooth in a Chevy Equinox and on my Beats Box portable. This did Not happen with my HTC Rezound. Does anyone have a fix for this ? Just makes me want to explode !

Last night I tested the Jaybird Bluebuds X and they have the same issue.
Another good question would be: If you have experienced this and rooted - did root fix it?
Hmm weird I have the same jaybirds and no problem here

Hmm. Well that's interesting. Maybe I just got a dud this round. Do you happen to have a car bluetooth that streams media?
FWIW I have horrendous issues with the HTC m8 and the A2DP BT Audio Streaming in my car where in the past my S3 and S4 had 0 issues what so ever.
In some cases it won't pair consistently and other times even when it is paired, I can't control the app to play/advance tracks. I hope/expect HTC is aware of this and is working on a resolution.

Last question, have you tried using google play music at the highest quality setting? After further research - I believe this is directly related to the known issue with FLAC files. HQ Play Music will stream FLAC depending on the artist. I would be interested as to if you have tried that at all and if it exists on viper rom.
I was able to repro the issue on multiple devices and that enabled me to narrow the device itself out. That's kind of good/bad news, haha. Google has a fix but it did not make the cut for 4.4.2 - so I am curious as to if some of the leaked stuff has the fix or not. Trial and error will likely be the only way to know. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...nd-stuttering-on-android-4-4-a-fix-is-coming/ describes the issue to a T.
