If you use a headset/earbuds with an in-line mic to handle calls, I would appreciate it if you could confirm one thing for me.
During a call, do you hear your own voice (and surrounding noise) through your own headset?
I've never had a smartphone send the audio picked up by my own mic straight back to my own ears during calls. I'm trying to figure out if this is normal behavior for this device or if I have a problem.
u can try turning on microphone noise suppression... i bet its the other side using hands free where his/her mic picks up the loudspeaker and sends it back to you... did happen to me a couple of times and was fixed by the other side switching back to earpiece/headset instead of handsfree loudspeaker.. anyways if the problem still exists try upgrading/downgrading F/W .. if that didnt help simply take it back using the warranty
o and might wanna try a different headset if yours could be the culprit

Hi Mazroui, thanks for the response. I'm certain it's my own mic and not the other end. Here's how I tested - Bring up dialer, dial any number, hit call. As soon as I hit call, I can hear all the noise coming in from my own mic into my ears, no one is even on the other end of the line yet as the phone is still ringing. If I rub my finger across the in-line mic of my headset, all the rustling noise is sent right back to myself.
I wish I could say it was the other person on the other end of the line, but I'm definitely hearing the noise from my own mic during calls for some reason.
So I take it your phone doesn't do this?

wow.. definitely not... im using my dead lg g2 headset with 2 in ear plugs.. did u test with a different headset ? im guessing yours is a mono headset like my old blackberry phone 1 ear style... i remember it did that a lot.. although was very clear and loud but simply too irritating
I don't hear my own voice through the microphone on my Bower & Wilkins p5.

Yeah, I tested with 4 or 5 different headsets, all stereo. A basic Panasonic set, Apple EarPods, Bose QC20 (Android version), Bose QC25, and I even have the Sony Active Noise Cancelling earbuds which only function with the Xperia devices, and even those send the audio from the mics back into my ears.
Each of these headsets work perfectly fine in other devices I have such as Google Nexus 5, Motorola Moto X 2014, iPhone 5S, and others.

did u test if the phone was water proof XD maybe got something in the jack ? anyways with a problem like that id definitely use that warranty and save my self the hassle..
phone isn't supposed to do such a thing and with that many headsets tested u can prove it to the service center and ask for a replacement with no questions asked
Android404 - Thank you for the confirmation!

Yeah, I did a check to make sure the phone was waterproof using the service menu to test the phone pressure. It's never been in any water at all, closest it has ever been is on the bathroom sink while I'm taking a shower.
Yeah, I'm going to have to go down the warranty route I think.
wish u all the best
Thank you sir!

Darn. I found out that the sony MDR-EX38iP are only partially compatible. Not sure about it's mic, but the volume controls don't seem to do anything.
I'll be testing Wal-Mart's no hassle return policy in the morning.
I'm having some trouble finding a hands free solution that's got music, and volume controls, a mic and stereo in earbuds. Anybody know of such an animal?
There's two other's that I've yet to try: the Skullcandy Titan headset, and the one's from JVC with the marshmallow earbuds.
The headset earphones that came with my DZ are better than the ones that came with my Dream, at least they stay in my ears, but I sure miss having volume controls as part of the remote.
walmart took them back, plus i tried and returned the scosche tapline headset because it didn't work either. well, at least the volume controls didn't work.
Has anyone got the SonyEricsson MH-810 Stereo Headset for Xperia? these might work since they're made for the android platform, not iOS.
Might be an app
I had trouble getting a headset with a mic to work at first. I thought the jack might be defective, but regular earbuds worked. I also noticed that it detected if I had a headset with or without a microphone. (the icon on top would change)
Then my husband told me he saw on some forum, that there's a known problem with headphones with a mics, if you have another music app installed other then the native one.
I had previously installed Winamp, so I uninstalled it and now both the HTC & the Apple headset with mic work fine.
Might be worth it to give it a try, if you have a another music player installed.

so @Milady_Odessa, with your apple headset, you can:
*answer & initiate calls
*change volume up and down
can you be more specific regarding which apple headset you are using, or possibly a picture?
Sorry I should have specified, it's the regular earbud/mic combo that came with the iPhone. It essentially does the same thing as the headset that came with my Z phone.
It can answer & adjust volume, turn on your media player. It can't initiate calls, but it can dial/call back the last number that called you by double-clicking on the middle button.

Thanks for elaborating, and the picture! hmmm, still not idea.

I bought the HTC HS U350. This allows you to plug in your own earphones in to the mic piece. So far it works great but i do miss having controls for skipping music and also volume. I guess it will do until i find something better
I have the G2 with the Desire Z ROM and the iPhone headset that came with my 2G iPhone and the replacement one I bought about a year after are both working. After plugging them in I see a headset icon, and I tested using the Voice Recorder app and on a phone call, mic was working fine. As far as I know nothing was touched on the ROM from the shipped other than pre-rooted things like busybox, superuser, etc.
I've just tested Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket headset which is designed to work specially with iPhone - music sounds good, stop-play button works (with 1 second lag though), calls are good as well - mic works fine, you can answer and stop the call by pressing the button on the remote.
I tested with Desire Z and Desire.
I was hoping to get Klipsch S4i to use as headset, hopefully they will work with Desire Z

Hi all
Anyone thought of using Sony mw600?
I only had this little marvel for 3 days (fone only 10 days) and I dare say it works beautiful.
It takes/makes calls without a glitch. It even displays the callers number ( didn't manage to make it display contact name yet, though)
Also it controls nicely my poweramp app, does prev/next, play/pause, and volume. It's got in ear detachable headphones, and it uses same microusb interface for charging as our lovely phones
All of this for around £30 of eBay!
It's not bad, is it?

My stock earphones have broken and I'm looking for in ear earphones which have a play pause button too, now. I've shortlisted the Soundmagic MP21s. It's confirmed that it's button works with the iPhone, but some people have told me it does NOT work with samsung phones because of the way they're wired or something.
Any idea if these work with LG? If not, does anyone know whether the stock headphone's button works on the iPhone?

I have tested the stock headphones on my friends iPhone and the button does work. So, I guess the headphone you have shortlisted will also work with LG.
Stock headphones with just the one button controls will work, and only the one button on iphone headphones with volume controls, not the volume or mic. there's adapters out there that say that they fix this problem. i'm waiting on mine to come in the mail to test it. also depends on what rom you're using.
My logitech 200vi earphones don't work on my optimus one. Not on the stock ROM or the Cyanogenmod.
Headset shopping guide for lamers:
0a/ Find your phone.
0b/ Charge it before going to the shop!
0c/ Put some music on your SD card before going to the shop!
0d/ Install some music player on the phone before going to the shop!
1a/ Enter the shop (use the door).
1b/ Look around and ask for the headphones of your choice. Tell the guy that you want to test them with your phone.
1c/ Connect those to your phone via the minijack connector; or -
1d/ Pair the BT headset with your phone.
Important note: Normal jack, DIN and other connectors are unsuitable for your phone and will not work without an adapter. Do NOT try to hammer those into the phone's minijack one!
Important note: Do not complain about lack of minijack with bluetooth headsets. You will look like an idiot!
2a/ Open the music player and play some song you have put on SD card beforehand.
2b/ Put the headset on/in your ears.
2c/ Listen!!!
3a/ Can you hear the music? If yes, go to 4.
3b/ If not, check whether the media volume is not muted!
3c/ Volume OK and still no sound? STOP! Ask for another headset, this one will not work with your phone!
Important note: You will look like an idiot if you do not check and go complain that the guy gave you a broken headset.
4a/ Test the media buttons. Do they ALL (in case there is more than one) work?
4b/ If yes, go to 5.
4c/ If not, STOP! Ask for another headset, this one will not work with your phone!
5a/ Make a phone call. Can the other person hear you? Can you here him/her? If yes, go to 5d and then to 6.
5b/ If not, check whether someone really picked up the call and whether the call volume is not muted!
5c/ Call connected, volume OK and still no sound? STOP! Ask for another headset, this one will not work with your phone!
5d/ Before you hang up, ask the person you called to call you back.
5e/ You get sound but cannot hang up via the headset button? STOP! Ask for another headset, this one will not work with your phone!
Important note: You will look like an idiot if you do not check the volume and go complain that the guy in the shop gave you a broken headset.
Important note: In case noone likes you and you do not know whom to call, you might try some emergency number as a last resort (112 in Europe, 911 in the US, for other parts of the world check beforehand.)
6a/ Wait for the call. No call? You probably pissed off the guy you called, tough luck, ask someone else. Worst case, you might bribe the guy in the shop to call you. He will probably ask for your phone number. Give it to him!
6b/ When the phone rings, try to pick up the call via the button on the headset.
6c/ Did it work? Good.
6d/ It did not work? STOP! Ask for another headset, this one will not work with your phone!
General important note: Even if all the above worked as it should, you still should NOT buy the headphones if:
- it makes your ears hurt like hell after the 5 minutes you were testing them
- you get sound but cannot understand a word when making a call or the music sounds like Justin Bieber's "singing". (Important subnote: In case you really did put Justin Bieber MP3 on your SD card, the above is NOT a headset fault and you will look like an idiot when you complain about the bad sound. You should seek medical help in any case.)
@dr. notor
ROFL!! Real crisp, man!
This has to be one of most funniest replies I've read in the OO forums. I'm debating whether to tweet/share this post! This post is so full of WIN!
I'm thinking how much effort this took. Appreciate it. Although in this case, it seems a bit of an over-reaction. But, any moderation on your part would have robbed us of this excellent post.
This happened on the N4 as well.
**UPDATE** Google has reproduced and recognized the issue, and will be issuing a software fix. No ETR yet.
The same headset (with inline mic) works very well (loud and clear in calls and sound tests) with my S2 and S4. The N5 is barely picking up audio; I have to hold the mic directly at my mouth to be audible. Ug, I had this issue with two S3's before I gave up. What is it with phone manufacturers and headphones with inline mics? The S2 and S4 were the only phones that never gave me an issue on any of my headsets. Glad I didn't get an N4 from swappa; almost did but decided on the N5. Really nice phone, really annoying quirk.
Any ideas? I presume I'm gonna have to RMA it. Does anybody else have this issue?
Edit: Here is another "low mic gain" N4 posting
and here
The N4 and N5 are made by LG. Here is an excerpt from what I found; maybe it really is my headphones. I'm gonna check tonight and edit this post later.
#69 [email protected]
#68 I tried my wife's iPhone 5 headphones this weekend and all the low mic issues were gone. I did some research and found out the Nexus 4 is only compatible with CTIA headsets. To find out if your headset is CTIA look at the rings on the jack and if they are grey then you are good. If they are black or any other color it is OMAP and incompatible. I know Sony, Apple, LG, and Samsung all make CTIA headsets.

I meant OMTP not OMAP.

I'm referring to the in-line mic. The mic on the phone is fine. The speaker gets a bit crackly and distorted during certain sounds; like when I called google. I use JVC headphones with in-line MIC; worked fine on the S2 and S4.

Mine will be on its way back to Google by this time tomorrow. Loved the phone but I won't live with the distorted speaker and the nonfunctional in line mic issue.
I'll try again next year. Damn, I was really excited to use this phone for a long while to come. Oh well.
There are two type of headset with mic. The mic and the gnd pin are swaped. I have a nokia hadset with mic i can use it my lg optimus 2x but the volume is low and the mic not working, because the gnd and the mic pins swapped. If you have a button on your headset, then hold it and the volume will be normal.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I have buttons on my jvc set. Holding it will correct the issue? I'll try this evening, if that works then I shall worship you.
Are you holding it while talking?
Setting the gain in ASR for 2x allows me to make an audible recording. But the gain is still too low for calls. Oddly, Google now can hear me fine with any headset or ear buds with in line mic. What the hell?
Didn't have thus issue on the moto X either. I'm thinking I may go with the moto X if I can find a Development version decently priced.
Used an audio level app to see what's up there. The handset mic is perfectly fine but records crap quality with ASR relative to the galaxy phones I've used. The earbuds and headphones with in line mics all work but with significant reduction in gain. So, is this a hardware issue or software?
Sounds like I'm Sol in either case.
Bump. Who else is having this issue? If so, are you keeping the N5? Did you find a work around? This was the only reason I returned my N5. I use my phone alot for skype calls and calls using grooveIP. I can't be having low gain issues with an inline mic. I'll try calling google to see if anybody else reported it.
Mic gain issue on Nexus 5
I'm having the same issue on my new Nexus 5 I received on Monday. I tested the following headsets which all replicate the issue of low mic gain on headsets plugged into the Nexus 5. Please see the attached jpg I created to visually explain this test with a noise meter app.
Samsung Galaxy S3 headset
HTC EVO 4G headset
Yurbuds Focus Talk headset
I do have the same issue.
I tried two different headsets.
1. a headset with a single button inline control
2. a headset with an iphone compatible three button inline control
Both of them have a much lower mic volume on the nexus 5, compared to galaxy nexus. ( I playback recorded audio on a PC to confirm this)
OP, i saw your G+ post, do you mean you have to hold the play/pause button while you are talking, in order to work around the issue?

No, I had to hold the play/pause button while I was connecting the headset. I made a final update to the google product thread:
****FINAL UPDATE**** WTF, google, seriously. Holding the play/pause button on my headset (and connecting my other set with the mic muted) seems to correct the low input volume issue -- it doesn't. It merely enables a sort of "speaker phone mode" where the audio is being inputted from the phone's mic, not the inline mic. Test it yourself. When you connect an inline mic as you normally would (not pressing any buttons, just plug that bith right in there), the nexus 5 switches to the inline mic input and it sounds too low to be functional (that's the problem). Disconnect the same headset and connect it while holding the play/pause button and you'll find it sounds much better. Tap on the phone, put your mouth right next to the phones mic, then listen to your recording. You'll see what I mean.
The better sounding audio isn't coming from the inline mic, it's coming from the mic built into the nexus 5 because it thinks you've connected earbuds with no inline mic. The nexus 5 (much like the N4) has a glitch with most inline mics. I'm done testing. Sending it back this week and requesting a full refund. I talk on skype and GrooveIP far too much to tolerate. such a pity. Perhaps I'll try again next year when there has been a patch or two out. Maybe a developer can find a fix. Good job LG and Google, you've created a phone that is perfect for folks who don't use earbuds or headphones with inline mics. I guess we'll just have to stick with samsung phones or get a moto X. Geeez.
How do you contact google? I think I have to try to force them to realize this is a widespread issue by submitting a long list of link containing mic volume complains. I found over 10 different forums discussing this issue.
I will also be visiting a headphone specialist store here in town, there are over 50 headsets available to test. I will try every one and ensure this is not a headset related issue, but a phone issue.
Just don't understand why there is so few people complaining in this thread, no one talk on phone anymore?

I would suggest adding your findings to that product support ticket I have created. It's already being referenced by the support folks with which I've been dealing, as well as showing up on search results.
Of course, you could call Google and report your experiences directly. Whatever you do, please add your findings to my original support ticket to ensure continuity. This thread was buried in XDA because last week was sofaking crazy with new nexus 5 threads popping up every where. I haven't yet heard back from the two media outlets I contacted. Nobody in any major review has mentioned this issue -- I think it really needs to be mentioned.
Same issue N5 16 black. Both headset mics work with the GNex. None with the N5.
I'm having this issue too. The inline mic has terrible gain. I used Smart Voice Recorder app and disabled automatic gain control and calibrated mic gain. The difference between a voice recording before and after the tweak is day and night. Unfortunately I don't know if there is a way to alter this system wide but right now it's pitiful.

Hi!
If your phone is rooted, you can modify the headset microphone volume in the file /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml (see below).
I've done that on my Nexus 4 and it's working great.
If your phone is not rooted, I've published a patch on android source : https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/73711/
Hopefully someone at Google will see it and merge it for the next release => vote/comment it so that it gets attention!
/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml - before modification
<path name="headset-mic">
<path name="adc2" />
<ctl name="ADC2 Volume" value="2" />
</path>
/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml - after modification
<path name="headset-mic">
<path name="adc2" />
<ctl name="ADC2 Volume" value="2" />
<ctl name="DEC8 Volume" value="99" />
</path>

So my cousin bought this phone yesterday and during his first phone call noticed that he could only hear the other end of the call thru headphones or speaker. Verizon replaced it without question and there was no issue there. Was just wondering if anybody else got a defective device.

My volume is low on earpiece during calls. I can't hear much unless I am in a quiet room. In my car with road noise (New B'Mer not very loud) I can hardly here other party

If you're talking about using ur phone up to your ear, speaker by front camera, I would say replace it! Mine is very loud on full volume, honestly the loudest cell phone speaker I've ever had for the regular speaker, not talking about speaker phone here.
Hi,
When making a phone call, the receiver of my call complaints that he almost can't hear what I'm saying. When I then switch to speaker, I can be heard fine. Isn't the phone using the same mic for both normal conversation and speaker phone?
Is there maybe an issue with noise reduction? I remember back with the Nexus phones, that the noise reduction could sometimes make a phone call difficult to hear.

Are you speaking directly into the mic? Is it noisy around you? Is it noisy around the other person? Are you yelling into the mic 1 cm away from it? Is it fine if you leave it off speaker but move the device further away?

Hi,
I have same issues with my phone. I have tried with both EU and international roms.
If someone have a solution I take it :good:
Similar issues here.
It's actually my biggest complaint with this device. Being on a Canadian carrier and thus not having VoLTE or WiFi probably isn't helping either.

I disabled VOLTE and Wifi and this seems to improve quality a little bit.

Sorry for the long delay......
- Yes, directly into the mic
- Not noisy on both sides, tested this today again with my son in our house. It was quiet
- Not yelling, just normal volume.
- Doesn't change when moving the phone away
To add, it seems that calling with WhatsApp voice is a little better and voice call through DUO is really good. Don't understand this.
