No, we do not have stereo speakers... the Moto G has one speaker and an earpiece, in some devices you can make the earpiece act like a second speaker, but it doesn't seem to work in this device.

Don't the head phone jacks (earpiece) provide stereo if head phones vice an ear piece were plugged in?

Yes, of course the headset is stereo, and other than the low volume (by my standards) the audio quality is quite good. By "earpiece" I mean the handset earpiece used when making and receiving calls in the traditional way.
Perhaps I misjudged the OPs question???

Hi,
How is it possible to force all sounds to go the headphone jack and not to the speaker ?
I would like to be certain that the music I am playing on my Windows Mobile phone is going through the headphone.
Why? because sometimes I accidentally remove the headphone jack from the phone and the music is then going loudly out of the speaker of the phone !! very annoying !
Chris
Take the phone apart, check by the headphone socket for how it detects a jack is inserted. On my old iPaq the jack moved a tab inside it breaking the circuit to the rear speaker. If memory serves, the speaker wasn't soldered in, it fitted a socket, pretty sure one of my older phones was like that too.
Of course it'd make your device useless as a phone without a working speaker, and you could end up destroying your phone completely.
Try looping a rubber band around your phone and the headphone jack to keep it in place, or just be more careful, or get bluetooth headphones
I don't want to physically remove the speaker of my phone. I find the speaker very useful when talking at home talking to people.
The problem is that I don't want the speaker to be used when I am listening music on the phone.
So the solution would have to be a software one.

bluetooth headset or rubber band are your best bets then.

What do you mean by bluetooth headset ? If I put my mobile phone in bluetooth headset, would it solve the problem ?

Ye it will cause you cant accidentally pull it out cause it doesnt use the jack, but negativ is that it drains battery and i think its much, and if the battery on the bluetooth headset dies i think that it stil will think its on so it doesnt use the speaker, so thats the best solution, i dont think people here can make a hack for that cause i think its to advance, hasnt been a issue before and even if no one has made a hack. so i think its the best and maybe only solution. sorry my english hope it helpt
edit: hope you know that you need to use a bluetooth headset, and you cant just make the choice on the phone without use a real headset
So I will look with a bluetooth headset. True it drains more battery and this kind of headset needs to be power charged (so easy to forget )

Interesting ! that's exactly what I want ?
and can you return to speaker mode ?
Is there anyway I can talk through the phone's mic and listen with ordinary head phones?
I can do this with pretty much any recent Nokia or iPhone, but the i9000 just seems to ignore normal headphones completely when answering a call.
This looks more like a software thing.
some phones doesn't work like that, you can listen but not talk when using the 3.5mm headphone (without mic)
like my old Palm Treo phones you can only use it unplug, or plug but then your headset will need to have a mic, else it wont work.
the next best thing is Stereo Bluetooth, they all come with a Mic
Not even that much
That's the thing, on the Galaxy S can't even "listen" to the phone call using headphones.

Thank you for your help, but what I'd really like to do is connect Galaxy to my car stereo's 3.5mm input and answer the calls using the car speakers.
I know that if I used a Nokia Mic adapter, it should work, but CRAP!
This is a way too expensive phone not to do that without the need for an adapter.
I have faith someone will come up with a way to bypass Samsung's stupidity and just leave the audio jack active when in a call.
Also, if I want to use my Sennheiser HD headphones, I can't without putting a crappy adapter between it and the telephone.
if it's for the car, then just get bluetooth for the car, it's by far the easiest way
The easiest way is a 25cent cable
The easiest way is a 25cent cable that does not eat up my battery like BT.
Again, I thank you for your help, but the perfect world would be someone to flip a switch in the phone's software and just make sound come out of it.
You are right; I also had my Hero connected with the 3.5mm cable to my car stereo and when I received a call, I switched my car to AUX and picked up the call, presto! Sound was routed through speakers and mic would pick up my voice perfectly.
Now with my new SGS it just doesn't work! I must leave the cable disconnected and switch the phone speaker mode on to be able to talk. How sh*t is that?
So here I was excited about a 3.5mm jack. Oh well. Just shows to go ya, size doesn't matter.

Hey,
Can you please elaborate on that cable wiring? or where to purchase etc?
I think the best thing is have an adapter with a mic and a female headphones socket to which you connect ANY headphones.
Just a followup on this, my old n95 adapter works perfect.

it's kinda weird. it works and it doesn't.
i have a jvc in-ear earphones and skullcandy lowrider headphone.
when receiving a call with my jvc, audio switches back to the phone's speaker and phone mic won't work unless i unplug the jvc.
with the skullcandy lowriders, call is routed to headphones and phone mic work perfectly.
note: neither of these pairs have an in-line mic, so the mic i am referring to is the one on the phone.

Does the 2nd pair have a quad conductor plug? (like a tv out cable for the galaxy)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
how would i be able to tell?
looking at them physically, the two plugs look the same. gold plated with 2 black bands.

Nokia? Nope... on that thread I posted about the SAMSUNG adaptor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7350178&postcount=22 I use this in the car via the aux port - works perfectly and for £2.95 you cant go wrong.
I am experiencing the same problem, which is very annoying and might keep me from buying Samsung again if they don't provide a fix...

It weird indeed.
I tested an iPhone stock headset (which has the exact same jack as the galaxy S headset, at least visually), and the calls are not ROUTED through the headphones !
A possible explanation for this is that the phone monitors the headphone's impedance: if the impedance is different from the one of the stock headset, then call sound is routed to the phone speaker.
I'm really hoping some developers will come up with a fix or a custom ROM to fix this issue.
i'll post the specs of both headphones for scrutiny when i grt home.
one thing i can day though is that my jvc has 10mm drivers and my lowrider has 40mm drivers. does that even matter?
i'm also gonna try to see what happens of i use my bro's skullcandy asym in-ears.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Any news about this issue?
I am about to throw this phone against the wall because oh this.... Damn!!!!
If there are things which should not be considered "as features", this is one of those...
sorry but it took me a while. first, here are the specs:
skullcandy lowrider
driver: 40mm
freq response: 18 Hz - 20 kHz
impedance: 32 Ohms
Max Input Power: 400mW
jvc HA-FXC80
Driver Unit: 0.23"(5.8mm)
Magnet type: Neodymium
Frequency Response: 8HZ - 25KHz
Impedance: 16ohms
Sensitivity: 103dB/1mW
Max Input Power: 150mW(IEC)
skullcandy asym
Driver Unit: 13mm
Frequency Response: 18Hz - 20kHz
Impedance: 32 ohms
Max Input Power: 30mW
and one more thing i tried...
x-mini max speakers
Drivers: 40mm
Frequency response: 230HZ -18KHZ
Sensitivity: 86db/1mW
Out of all the four, the calls would only route to the skullcandy lowrider. At first I though it might have been driver size, that's why i threw in the x-mini max for the test. looks like there's another factor that's causing this anomaly.
It's definitely soft problem! Because in Nimbuzz software, if you use Nimbuzz-out (same as Skype-out) and i had phone connected to car with 3.5 mm jack, sound went to car stereo, and i was talking using samsung mic. So if they could realize this "feature", why samsung couldn't?
The G2X disables the internal mic when the headphone jack is used... This means I can't use my car input jack and input channel for speakers for phone calls.
Without the internal mic, the callers can't hear me...
I see no way to enable to internal speaker when the headphone jack is enabled...
This worked perfect on the Vibrant...
This also works on the Nexus One.
Simple software thing that shouldn't be an issue, but is.

I think it depends on the ROM. I used a few that disabled the mic when i used headphones on my N1 too, but most ROMs didn't have that problem.

I think it depends on the ROM too. I used to run my Nexus with MIUI and the mic worked fine while playing through car speakers.
When I use my OPO with headphones and get a call, I can hear the person through the headset but the mic doesn't work/pick up my voice and neither does the phone mic. I have to take out the headphones and phone the person back for them to hear me.
Does anyone else have this problem? I tested them on my N4 and the work fine.
What headphones are you using? My Pistons work fine.

A lot of people are having this problem. It has to do with the TRRS OMTP vs CTIA configuration (left,right,mic,ground vs left,right,ground,mic) and maybe something to do with resistances as well. If your headphones were designed for "iPhone" chances are the mic won't work. People have tried using the CTIA OMTP adapters, but that hasn't worked. There are some headphones that do work, (like the Pistons mentioned above). One thing you can do to fix this problem is download soundabout from google play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix&hl=en). In the wired headset section, you can tell it to ignore the mic in headsets, this way it will still use the builtin oneplus mic instead of your headphone mic. Not a good fix, but it's all we can do until they come up with a patch. This is a huge issue that's been on Jira, but there's no indication if this will ever be fixed.
I'd read somewhere that whilst the current sound output is mono there is the potential to make the output stereo via a software update. Has anyone heard of any commit plans for this or whether it is actually possible?
Many thanks.
You have been misinformed.
Only mono sound is possible.
Both speakers are soldered to the same location?
I'm interested in this. It just seems really odd that the phone comes with two speakers, the DAC should support stereo output, and yet they'd only wire it for mono (I'm assuming that's what they did if we cannot get stereo via software).

Check the OPO forum.
It's been confirmed by the OPO team themselves.
I dont know what's the importance on having stereo speaker unless they are located top and bottom and you're listening right in your face you won't tell the difference.
This is a useless tread

Speaker membranes cannot simply be increased in one dimension. Going both in width and height would make the phone too thick so the only choice is to use 2 speakers next to each others to increase output power. Try holding your finger on one of the speakers, you'll immediately notice the loudness dropping by half.
