[REQ] use internal mic when headset plugged in.

Is there anything available that will force my HD2 to use the internal mic while a headset is plugged into the 3.5mm socket?
I often use my HD2 to listen to music in my car using a 3.5mm jack to jack cable into the aux in port just near my handbrake which works a charm.
When I get a call the music is interrupted and if I answer it I can hear the caller through my car speakers however they can't hear me as the phone is in headset mode and is expecting a mic to be plugged in.
I don't think it's a simple case of re-routing which mic is used as while that may technically work the caller would be able to hear themselves delayed through my cars sound system. I need the phone to send the mic into speaker mode so it has a detection system that stops the caller hearing themselves but send the output through the headset socket.
I hope that makes sense?

seems strange that it does not working .. i use this way to listen music & gps instructions and it is working ok, with the phone's microphone.. try i different 3.5mm jack (stereo) .. or you have a cooked rom ?

I just tried a different cable and it's working! strange for some reason the HD2 must have thought my cable was headset?
Thanks!

yeah it dosnt work cuz if u look @ the original headset it has 3 lines which meant 2 for the stereo ear pice and 1 for the mic, i have the same prob i dnt like the origenal headset so i use mine which means i have to unplug it every time i get a call, but i think the only way to use good headset with mic is to buy the iphone headset, its the same priciple with a better sound quality of the headset

If your jack has only 3 contacts, the phone can sense there's no 4th one, so there's no mic, and uses the internal mic. If your cable has 4 contacts, it will try to use external mic even if there's actually none.

oooo yeah u r right, lol, jst tried it it work
thnx man

wow, i was just asking myself the same question. i have a pair of sennheiser earphones(without mic), when i take an incoming call the other side cannot hear me most of times. but, sometimes the internal microphone is activated and i can speak using my earphones. this seems a quite random problem, i don't understand. even with skype, sometime i can use earphones, some other time i'm forced to unplug using the loudspeaker...boh...

i want my phone mic since my built in carstero mic is to far away

On a similar note, is it possible to have the internal speaker announce GPS instructions while I'm playing music via Bluetooth?

[Q] Music vs. Bluetooth calling. Calling loses!

Hi --
Anybody have this problem?
I have my phone plugged into my car stereo via the headphone jack. I've got the bluetooth headset on because I want to make a call. When I hit the button on my bluetooth, the music comes through my headset, at full volume no less, and I can't hear the voice dial prompts.
So, I'd like to overcome this problem. Does anybody have a solution, workaround or app that they're familiar with that will solve this problem? I'm losing the hearing in my right ear .
Oh, yeah, I have an Evo 4g if it matters.
Thanks!

Sound/Calling not working !

Guys I encountered a strange problem on my phone.
The sound output has completely stopped working, i.e, the speaker doesn't play any kind of sound now (no songs, no notification sounds, no ringtones, absolutely NOTHING!).
Also, when I make a call, I'm unable to hear the dial tone. And I am not able to even listen to the other person's voice during call.
It was fine in the morning today, until I connected my phone to a speaker to play a song. After that the sound stopped working. Has it got to do anything with the fact that I connected to the speakers? Because when my friends connected their phones to the same speaker, they encountered no problems whatsoever.
P.S : Whenever I play a song, or any audio in my phone now, i get a small "hsss" sound near the speaker. I get a similar sound when I call anyone.
Someone PLEASE solve this problem for me ! I need to answer calls and it's a very big problem for me if I can't get it fixed soon

[Q] Headphones when plugged in mute my voice in calls?

At work I listen to music on my nexus 5 with my headphones. When someone calls and I answer I can hear them through my headphones no problem, but they can't hear me.. Its almost as if connecting my headphones to the N5 mutes my mic.
Is there a setting I'm missing here? I thought the N5 may be thinking my headphones are a headset and disabling the mic but my other nexus phones had no problem with this.. I could recieve a call with my headphones and the phone mic would pick up my voice and as soon as the call is finished my music would begin playing again.. My N5 isn't doing this.
Any advice guys?

Are they cheap headphones? Like ebay special or something? Probably has the wrong connector and your phone thinks they have a mic.

is that headphone fully compatible with N5?
i own multiple headphones with mic and few wont work properly for calling(with RAZR).
For the music to play again, there may be settings in the app. Some players wont auto-resume!

[Q] Bluetooth in call volume very low

Hi all,
I have been suffering the following problem for several weeks already, I hope someone can help me to get it solved. I have a parrot bluetooth car kit installed in my car (mk6000 model) which is able to play music on stereo.
When I play music the volume level is pretty good, as good as when I use the speakers or wired headphones. However, the in call volume is extremely low, no matter if the Nexus was playing music right before the call or in stand-by (with wired headphones or no accessories in-call volume is fine). This also happens to both incoming and outgoing calls.
I have tried to unpair and then pair again the device but it is still the same. Also installed the Bluetooth Volume application with no luck. I have not checked with bluetooth headphones but I assume that I would get the same issue.
I am surprised that nobody posted this before (at least I could not find anything) and I am wondering if this is only happening to me.
Can anyone give me some advice?
Thanks!

I don't answer when I'm driving but sometimes when I do answer, the volume is the same as the music playback volume...
I have used Nokia's old wireless headphones with my n5 and the sound is pretty decent...

I don't know how deep you have dove into your nexus experience but this would help:

Thanks, but I am not sure if this would work for me. I just need the volume in-call boost when bluetooth is connected. I want in-call speakers or wired headphones volume remain as is. I do not want any change for music streaming volume (bluetooth or speakers). Is this possible?
Thanks!
