Stock Headphones

Am I supposed to be able to use these as a mic in a call as well? Is there a setting to turn that on? Just plugging them in yields no voice on the other side.
Also can't figure out what the button does.
Help?

im not sure about the mic part but i use it in calls and works perfectly ppl hear me loud and clear ionno if its the phone mic or not...but the button on other hand is basically play/pause button when playing music well atleast it is on cyanogenmod

Can you try putting your phone in your pockets and try it again. I think it picks up the voice from the phone's mic.

If you look at the backside of the button piece on the headphones, there is a small hole and that is a microphone. If its not working correctly you might want to consider bringing it back to where you bought it and seeing about exchanging at the very least the headphones.

Speaker Not Loud Enough

Just wanted to check if it's just me or are there other forum members also experiencing the similar issue of speakers just not being loud enough???

my one is screaming

Have you enabled dts feature when using the stock music player? Also it depends if the audio file volume was upped correctly when it was mixed. It plays real loud for me even when dts is not activated. Also think about ambient noise in the background when you are playing music

for me it's speaker, not speakers... I can only hear sound coming out of one speaker... I guess the other one is the mic... and yes I can barely hear mine too

Thanks Dude. Got it. It was the DTS function that was off.

Best way to try it - call your voicemail, and put it on loudspeaker .... mine is loud like a mother cracker

Only the right bottom speaker on mine and 3 other test units seem to be working called my LG Rep and his is the same but its supposed to have stereo speakers as per lg

how to turn on dts
I love this phone but am also having problems with it being to quiet. i saw this post about turning on dts i cant find any option for this anywhere. not in stock music player not in settings where and how do i do this. if i cant make this speaker louder i will have to return it.

Mine's running great. Speaker is quite a bit louder than my old Nexus one. Compare it to some others if you can.

When you are playing music in the stock music player. Go to the song currently playing and you'll see dts function

10 character limit

ok
just got the 32gig card today putting mucis on it now but that wont help videos . but if it helps on this it can be made to work on video player or get teh programs off a slate dump since i guess tehy left teh apps off the g2x.

So if one of the speakers not working, then is it a defective unit? Only my right one works and the left one doesn't.

Left one is a microphone. Wow too many people are wondering about this.

Never really paid attention until I noticed that I couldn't really hear you tube videos and music! Which was fine before, it was loud enough! So it was then I realized sound was only coming out one side so dunno!
I'm getting a replacement either way and I'll compare the two!
...

it's been confirmed numerous times that one is a mic and the other is a speaker.

i use a program like total recorder to boost the volume of my ringtones,then copy them back to my sdcard. there are a couple of free apps online that do the same.

Wow! Can't believe they sent you a replacement for a problem that doesn't exist.

WOW .... that is lame as hell .... and this is an LG product??? No wonder my d2 sounded better and was louder
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

How is that lame? You would prefer two speakers and no mic? Then it wouldn't be a phone, would it?

2 speakers and a Mic would be nice. Other than the noticeably low volume I love this phone.

volume+ seems to let you do some audio tweaking i had the same problem where my audio was all the way up and wasnt very loud i downloaded and installed Volume+ i think it is on the market not sure but this allowed me to run my volume at 1/2 up and its loud as heck

it sets speaker, headset and as well as bluetooth volume levels

This doesn't allow me to boost past factory settings

[Q]how to boost the headset and loud spear volume?

any help? they aren't loud enough

you can boost the headset volume by using amplifiers and using voodoo to increase the dba limit. For speaker, it's no blackberry so it won't be amazingly loud sorry

Yes! LOL
seriously I got it on 10. Also try best quality for better result and don't jump more than 3 or 4 increments at one time. Doing so will kick in a noise gate effect on the speaker and actually make it very quiet.

Tapped HOX

Hello all,
My AT&T HTC One X running RebelROM 1.1 appears to be tapped.
I have Beats by Dre Mixr with control talk (Mic & Remote) , and I can hear myself when I'm loud through my beats.
Also when I'm on the phone I hear myself echo through the phones speaker.
I was wondering if I'm tapped or if it is software or if you guys are experiencing it too,
Thanks.

Every AT&T phone I've ever had echoed from time to time.

I don't use headphones, so I guess it's possible.

Yeah I use headphones sometimes to make calls, it echoes over headphones worse than just calling using the earpiece.
