I think I damaged the ribbon for the microphone (the main microphone not the noise filtering one on top) so now no one can hear me unless I put it on speaker or plug in earphones and even then they can only hear me thru the noise filtering microphone at the top. I know that the volume key is also connected to one of the mics and the power on/off flex cable is also connected to the other mic. Which one needs to be replaced is what I'm getting at?

If you plug in a headset in the PDA, the microphone underneath the PDA is automaticly turned off (because it assumes you have a microphone on the headset).
Is it possible to prevent this?
If i use my own head-phones without mic, i have to unplug it if the phone rings, else i can talk!
Does anyone know?
GeeZuZz,
I use an fm radio cigarette adapter to play my music through my car stereo and when my phone rings I only have to answer it and my mike does not cut out, the caller can hear me fine and I hear them through the car speakers so I know this doesnt totally answer your question but using the headphone out on mine does not cut out the mike.

Hmm... if i answere the phone with the headset plugged in, they can't hear me. But if i disconnect it, and put it slowly in, they can hear me... in other words, theres a software restriction.
Any way to override this? I'll probably never use a headset anyway (the bundled one was crap).
GeeZuZz,
It is a hardware issue. If you look at your headset's plug, you will notice that it is divided into 4 bands.
1. earth(common)
2. Right earpiece
3. left earpiece
4. mic
When inserted into the socket, the bands actually physically cut signals to the speakers and mic in the device (more like a switch).
Because your headphones stll have the same 3.5mm shape, it will also cut signal to the devices on your pda and transfers the signals to your headphones that has only 3 bands (none for mic obviously).
from my experience, i think its up to the jack that you plugged in to the device, if the jack is a stereo (has 3 black rings), the device will think that a mic is present, thus automatically disabling it. but if the jack is mono (2 ring) the mic will still be enable.
Three black rings(4 bands) mean stereo phones + mono mic. Two Black rings( 3 bands) mean stereo phones only.
Hmm... are there any way i can modify the jack, so that it will not disconnect the mic? Like putting some plastic on the piece of the jack where the mic is supposed to make the connection?
been trying to find this out, is the audio connector at the top a combo to use a 4 ring type jack similar to the iphone conector where i mic is also intergarted or pure stereo cannot seem to establish that?
I have been researching online about using car aux-in cable for making phone calls.
I heard that some phones work and some do not. In those cases, when it doesn't work, it means that the person in the phone cannot hear what you say, because by default the mic is muted when something is plugged in to the jack.
With HTC Sensation, does this happen? Is the phone mic muted when a headset/aux cable is plugged in to the phone? If yes, is there any workaround? What is the general solution to make phone calls via aux cable?
I heard that some people might use the griffin cable with mic, but since my aux port is located where the shifter is, I am not sure how the quality would be. Any idea?
Thanks

well, i hope this answers ur question
i have made calls/received calls via aux (when im listening to music in da car n get a phone call i dont uplug it, just answer)
i talk thru the mic normally and i hear the other person from tha car speakers.
so i guess the mic is not muted
From previous experience - though not with Sensation, as I'm all blue-tooth now, the following was true
If you plug in a normal 3.5mm TRS jack (stereo headphone / line-in / etc) the phone detects it as headphones and not headset, so the device realised there was no "in-line" mic, and used the phone's microphone itself.
A better option (which I did) was to fashion my own lead - using another HTC headset, but removing the two earphones, and soldering the cables to an in-line socket. This worked well, because I had a microphone clipped to me, with remote control for music (don't want to touch the phone when driving now, do we!!) and the stereo audio feed back to the car speakers. Cost me about £3 in total, including the second headset.
I would imagine this to be the same for the Sensation too, as all these sockets have various detection mechanisms, to make the right things happen, depending on what you connect.
Good luck, and safe driving!
My problem is that the Earphones produce a weird bug but others do not and work fine, Lol?
Doesnt Anyone face this annoying problem?????

My Bose QC 15 headphones had a problem with the iPhone-compatible cable, that includes a volume control and microphone.
Another "audio only" Bose cable that omits the volume control and microphone is also available off eBay for ~$10.
I asked Bose for an Android-compatible version with volume control and microphone, and they said they're "considering making one".
normally the headphone jack provides a link for headphones with e.g. microphones or buttons (to accept calls), which uses the same wires as for the audio.
the effect can be triggered by e.g. dirty connectors. so I once had a new pair of headphones and on the connector jack there was a bit of debris (glue or whatever left). they did also cause the phone to pause/play every now and then. so I cleaned them and then they did work without problems. also sometimes the connectors have to "grind in" until there is a good electrical connection.
however as it is steadily pausing/playing on your iPhone 5 headphones, I dont think theres an issue with the connection itself.
it might just be that the iPhone 5 headphones are trying to "communicate" with your phone, which it doesnt support and therefore is misinterpreting it as the start/stop commands. you cant do anything about it I guess.
(except dont buy apple products anymore )
Hi dear friends,
I'm having a weird issue with wired (jack) headphones during calls : I can hear my own microphone !
For example during a call, if I'm in windy conditions, I can hear the wind.
During such scenarios, my phone is in a pocket or in a bag, so the mic I hear is the one on the headphone's cable.
This problem arises with either the headphones provided with the Pixel, or with any other wired headphones kit (I've tested with a Samsung).
On headphones with volume control, I can even hear a loud sound when volume up or down ...
And this issue is here out of the box, without any APP installed.
My phone has already been replaced by Google support, but the issue is still there one the new one.
Does any of you Pixel 3a owners, have seen such an issue with its phone ?
This is normal operation.
If you are wondering why the noise cancellation isn't working better, you have to understand how it works. It compares the audio from the mic on the headphone wire with the audio from a mic(s) on the phone. Anything that both mics pick up is cancelled by the noise cancellation software because it is considered an "outside noise". But anything picked up on just the wired mic is considered part of the conversation and won't be cancelled out. That means if your phone is in your pocket and it isn't getting the same wind noise (for example), then the phone will not cancel out that audio because it's only being picked up by the wired mic and not both mics.
Hopefully that helps. If you want wind noise to be cancelled out, try holding your phone in your hand and see if that helps. But the wind noise may not be picked up even then depending on which way the wind is blowing vs what orientation your phone is being held in, so you might have to hold the phone a couple of different ways to find one that works the best at that time.

Thanks for your reply
My guess is that this issue is not related to noise cancellation.
1) I've indeed mention that, in my test scenario, my phone was in my pocket. But I can remember of several times I was holding the phone in my hand, or phone was lying on a table, and even then the sound captured by both mics was audible by me.
2) When I'm in call with another person, and I'm hearing the wind in my own mic, the other person does NOT hear the wind.
Isn't anyone here using jack wired headphones ?
