Yesterday I have purchased a google nexus 4 and noticed that none of my 3 earphones working with nexus 4. There is a faint sound in earphones and there is also a faint sound simultaneously with device's speaker. I have 3 different headphones, one from nokia, one from galaxy s3 and the last one is a normal earphone without mic that I use with my computer.
Is there a hardware issue in nexus 4?
Sorry guys, disregard my posted issue. Earphones are working fine. I was testing them in ringtone settings where audio comes from both the earphone and the speaker. I transfered a song to the device and then checked to find out that there is no issue.

I have been facing a very weird problem with my galaxy s. I had bought sennheiser cx180 earphones. They worked perfectly well for a couple of months. And then, suddenly, the sound output from one side reduced. When I connected it to my PC and other devices, the output low. I got the earphones replaced from sennheiser. But again the same problem! I thought this might be a compatibility problem between samsung and sennheiser. So, I bought a pair of creative earphones. The same problem happened with those.
Is this happening due to my phone's hardware or ROM?
Currently my phone is running android 2.3.3 XWJVB ROM and 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVB-CL118186root-DELL102 # 2 kernel. But this problem has occured on the stock 2.2.1 ROM as well.
Please help me...
Well it could either be rom or hardware. My advice to you is just stick with the Sammy OEM headphones.
The samsung OEM earphones have a 3 ringed 3.5mm connector, while the other earphones have 2 ringed 3.5mm connectors. After a bit of googling, I have come to know that 2 ringed ones can send a surge of sound signals. Can that be the reason why the other earphones get spoilt? Will using a 2 ring to 3 ring adapter help?
I believe the extra ring is needed for the built in microphone @ samsung OEM earphones.
I don't think your i9000 damages them either why should it?
I have been using my CX300 with my galaxy s since i have it, no problems so far.
Yeah thats what... Can this be ROM problem? Is there any other possible reason for the problem?
Faulty headphone jack, but it is highly unlikely.
Possibly just unlucky with your headphones.
Is it a really noticeable difference or only slightly off?
Yes... The difference is quite noticable... At times it feels like only one side is working. In fact the sennheiser service centre guy had written on the replacement job sheet saying "right side not working"
Will shifting to a better ROM help? I am also thinking of buying a 2 ring to 3 ring adapter and trying it out, keeping my fingers crossed... i really want the sennheiser to work without getting spoilt on my phone. The earphones are amazing. The samsung OEM earphones are nowhere near those.
I am unable to get my SCH-i705 to route audio through the headphone jack when plugged-in to my 2010 Jeep Wrangler AUX audio port. The tablet continues to play all sounds through its built-in speakers, as if nothing is plugged-in to the headphone jack. I've tried several different cables with no permanent success. One cable will sometimes be recognized for one song, but as soon as that song ends the tablet stops playing music, and if I press the play button the sound comes out the built-in speakers again.
Before the SCH-i705 I used a GT-P3113 and it worked fine. Ditto for my SGS3.
I did some browsing and saw there were some others with the same problem, Saab and BMW owners. I could not find where anyone solved the problem.
Any ideas?

Hello, my friend has an older phone with Android Gingerbread and she bought nice shiny new Sennheiser big headset with combined jack for both input and output. When she plugs it in and calls me she can hear me but I cannot hear her, because microphone does not work. The jack is totally the same as on other earbuds headphones with integrated mic which we have and which work with this phone just fine. The new shiny ones work with my newer (Xperia Z3 compact) phone with mic too. I don't understand what can be a difference. There is no settings in this LG Android regarding headphones or microphone. The icon in the top bar is always headphones regardless of if I plug the earbuds or the Sennheiser where mic does not work.
Any idea how to fix this or what can be causing this?
so this looks like a mystery I guess :-]
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
What is the device of your friend?
Hey guys,
i've a great problem with my nexus 5: The mic on call works only when speaker are on. if i stop speakers and start audio from top speaker mic is mute.
Now i've bought some replacemente, i've changed mainboard and mic, but the problem is always the same.
I've tried to teardown the nexus. When i put off the part of speakers mic works on call, when this speaker is on mic stop to work and have to activate it to speak on phone.
Some one have some idea?
