Hello,
I have bought some earphones by bassbuds.
The problem now is that the sound is very dull and quiet. A friend of my got an iPhone and
has no problems.
On the cable of the earphone is a button to stop the music or somthing. When I
push it, the sound will be much better. I have tested the earphones on my laptop,
there is no problem with the sound.
Usually the sound should be like that when I hold the button on the cable.
Im on RemICS-UX v1.2
4.0.4 ICS
Does someone got any problems like this?
U need a nokia (or some other generic) adapter for headsets that have a button.
Can't remember the model number but you should be some topics about it in the forum.
Would it solve the sound problem or the to malfunction button?
Your cable has different contact points compared to the phone's port.
Using the 3.5mm adapter (iphone to nokia/generic) will solve your problem. I'm not sure though if the button will still work.
Hi all, I got a Moto G 8gb from Phones4U, and my Bose QC15 noise canceling headphones made a nasty clicking noise every time they were plugged in. The clicking would happen no matter if something was playing or not. Nothing would play out of either channel, and the software would randomly pause whenever they were plugged in, as if they were being unplugged. Various cheap earbuds worked, but not my QC15s. I factory reset it three times, and obviously tried the headphones on about a half dozen devices, including a Galaxy IV, iPhone 5C, Nexus 5, my laptop, my desktop, and an old iPod Classic -- all worked perfectly.
I took it to Phones4U and exchanged it for another model, which had the exact same problem. We tried a 16gb version and it had the exact same problem too. Then we tried it with various other phones and my QC15s worked, so they told me that my headphones must obviously not be compatible with the Moto G line. Then they said I wasn't even eligible for a refund because it was about compatibility, not a defect. I raised hell and finally got them to refund it, but now I don't know what to do. Anybody else have noise canceling headphones, especially the QC15s, that they have successfully or unsuccessfully used?

You were probably a bit hasty returning the phone just for this, but you're right there's something screwy about the Moto G's handling of wired earphones that are more complex than basic stereo. I can't get any 3-button remote headset to work with it properly, for example. No doubt Motorola will deal with this in future updates ... unless they only want us to buy the Sol Republic Jax earphones, which would not be good ...
I'm also surprised you got a refund, as Motorola doesnt claim compatability with your headset. Also surprised that Phones4U now have 16GB in stock

Just for the record I have a 16gb Colors edition from Brazil and I use a Sennheiser bluetooth headphone with my Moto G (PX 210 BT) and it works beautifully!
I can use all its buttons with no problem: play/pause, volume up and down and skip track forward/backward.
One interesting thing I noticed was: the headphone did not perform very well with Google Play Music. Both sound quality (it would constantly click during playback) and the buttons (play/pause button would only work with screen on) were not up to standard.
However when I installed my player of preference, PlayerPro, and messed a little bit in the settings of the app with audio priority and with the keyguard settings both audio quality and buttons were working great!

Yes, bluetooth is another matter of course. But I guess he has a reason to be sore when those wired Bose QC15 headphones cost twice as much as the phone itself
Workaround to make them work
I have the same problem connecting my QC15 with moto G. With some experimenting I somehow made them work and they are perfectly fine now. Follow the below steps to make them work with your phone.
1. Disconnect the headphones to the phone and start music on any player(Google play or your choice) on the phone.
2. Once the song starts playing insert the headphones into the jack. Imp Note: remove the headset part from the wire.you should only insert the wire without having the headset piece.
3. Now the song will continue to play. Now switch on the headphone and insert the wire into the headphone. It should work now.
I know this shouldn't be the actual scenario, but engineers at Motorola have made up some mess which cannot be cleaned up now with respects to hardware. The phone is little wierd on headphones port. Its not working with aux cables in my car too
I have SMS street by 50 cent and every thing works fine. skip/pause and previous track
Sent from my XT1032 using xda app-developers app
Same problem
I've experienced the same problem with Bose QC15 and the Moto G. Motorola support were rude and unhelpful, first assuming that the QC15 were bluetooth and telling me flat out that it was not a fault of their hardware. Eventually I got a ticket raised so we'll see what happens. Not holding my breath.
bonthukarthik, your fix works - thank you for sharing - although I must add that this step has to be repeated whenever playback is stopped or paused (including when Spotify plays an advertisement). If I find anything out from Motorola, I will share it here.
I just got some qc15's and they only worked out of the left ear with the moto x. I used the work around above and they now work. weird. play/pause button now works but the volume does not on the inline headphone controls.
What kind of connector this headset/headphone has?
CTIA or OMTP?
I have skullcandy 2xl single button headphones and it doesn't work
when i attach the headphones the music pauses
Confirmed
I can confirm this issue with Moto X and also the workaround. I have contacted Motorola but so far no luck in getting through to someone who can open an issue internally
Skullcandy not working
Have the same problem
I have the skull candy inkd 2
It only works when its 3/4 inside but when I push it all the way in a clicking noise plays
Please find a solution
Hi.
I just got a moto g, I have a bose qc3 and the same problem.
It seemed tome that it seemed to me that it was connection or impedance related... so I tried a few things.
The best way I found to make it work fast is plugging it in using the airplane jack adapter. It works perfectly fine but the remote won't work.
I guessed that it means that it's remote/impedance related.
Like it was said before, unplugging the jack on your headset, playing something on the phone and plugging it it afterwards works too... But I really don't know why !
Any clues, anyone (with advances electronic skills)?
With my former android phones I had troubles using the answer/play remote on some headphones/buds, but never like that. It was allways clear to me that iphone and android headset/buds remotes work in a different way, and sometimes even differently depending on your android model or brand...
My guess is that using a cable without a remote will work... but it's be nicer to have a working remote.

I found something, just a clue, I don't mean it'll work for sure.

Alright here are some more details / partial solutions :
- If you plug your qc using the jack with the remote/mic and the airplane adpter, the sound sill work, but you'll lose the mic and commands. Basically it's the same as if you plugged it in usgin a "regular" jack cable (that bose sells, or used to, btw)
- if you use the "play and then plug jack in headset" workaround, sound will work, the main button too : it'll play/pause, but if you stop and quit tha music app, the problem will come back
- almost the same with a call, if you call your phone and wait for it to ring before pluging the jack into your hedset the sound will work both sound and mic, but the button fonctions are weird : at first it'll aswer the call, but afterwards it'll work as an on/off switch for the mic.
- Best solution I found : when you plug your headset and have the parasite problem, just press the main button on your remote, it'll stop the problem... but the button won't work anymore, either to answer/hangup or play/pause. I use this solution ftm, even if I don't think it's good for the headset to have this clicking parasite, and I'm still waiting on a way to make everything work all the time.
Any ideas ?

Have you tried with a CTIA to OMTP converter .
Hi, thanks.
No, i should, but I thought that all android phones were ctia now... I don't have my moto handless kit with me, but I'll try it with my gf's xperia sp to see if it works with it, since my bose headset works perfectly with the xperia.
Anyone knows if the moto g is ctia ?
Any other ideas ?

All Stereo Head phones normally use a 3 Pin Jack, Cell phones use a 4 pin, I found this out before with some other audio products..
I confirm all the informations about the problem and the workaround concerning a Moto X and the QC15 I just got. I hope a solution will be found. Does anybody tried that amazon product ?

I have a Droid Maxx and the QC15. The android inline remote & mic kit from Amazon have the same problem as the iphone cable that comes with the QC15 headphones. Quite annoying. Also, I can't get the workaround to work. No matter what I do, I only get sound from the left speaker.
I had a similar problem (no audio, weird noise in right ear) with Moto-G and QC15. The workaround that succeeded for me was to change the headphone gain from Hi to Lo. The gain switch is in the plug that connects the wire to the left earcup.
This supports the suggestion that the issue is caused by some impedance measurement routine on the phone.

I got a selfistick with a earphone plug and I can not get it to work on my Nexus 4 (5.1.1, LMY47V, rooted)
I tried the stick on a Samsung S4 mini (android 4.4.2) and it works. When I plug it in I get an earphone icon on top of the screen and can take photo's by pushing the button on the stick.
But on my Nexus nothing happens if I plug it in. I tried an earphone and that is working fine, it is switching between speaker and phone.
I used Camera360 and Selfishop Camera.
Do I miss some setting or is the N4 not capable to work with a selfistick with an earplug connection?
Found a sollution after testing several earphone buttons en BT buttons.
Finally found one BT button which works with Selfishop camera. It costs less than € 3,-
So, I got the P20 lite on june 16, and it's always worked fine. But since yesterday I'm having issues with my headphone, my Logitech G231 Prodigy does not work, it just goes on the speakers instead of the headphone (used to work fine). But my cheap old headphones work fine, but they really hurt my ears so that's not really a good solution. The G231 works fine in my old Galaxy S6. I also tried an app called Sound About, but it doesn't work with Android 8. If anyone has an alternative or solution, please let me know!
Solution
I got it fixed, I found an old 3.5mm extension cable, and when I use that it works completely fine :cyclops:
