[Completed] Bypass earphone mic detection possible ? - XDA Assist

Hi there,
I got a strange problem, my HTC Butterfly 2 got water damage, although it is water-resist, the earphone jack is shorted and disabled the internal speaker and mic, I can only use Bluetooth with it. The phone still gives sound on boot and notifications but all other audio disabled, I can make call only with BT. But strange is that, some apps refused to use the audio from BT, for example in Whatsapp I couldn't record a voice message but can listen to it, also has problem with some voice recorder apps, but Google voice worked fine. Since the phone jack is not using hardware switching, I think it is possible to bypass the earphone detection so that I can use the build in speaker and mic, but I can't find any info about this, of course this is a short term solution, the phone has to be replaced eventually, please comment thanks !

[help] no sound from speaker when having a phone call

hi all,
i've been using bluetooth handsfree with my o2 mini for a while, but recently i have this annoying problem:
now i cannot make calls the ordinary way (put the handphone close to my ear & talk) because there is no voice coming out from the phone's internal speaker. i already tried with bluetooth turned on & turned off, still no sound, not even a waiting tone.
so now i always have to use bluetooth handsfree or the external speakerphone (the located at the back near the camera) to make/receive phone calls.
i suspect it's a software glitch, not a hardware problem. using bluetooth handsfree automatically turning off the phone speaker & when bluetooth is disabled, speaker will be back to normal. but now, somehow the speaker remain silent even when bluetooth is turned off.
i'll appreciate if someone could guide me how to fix this problem, if possible without hard-reset the phone.
thanks a lot & sorry for my poor english.

Record Bluetooth Headset conversation, Help please.

I want to record my phone conversations when I am using my Bluetooth headset (Because I drive alot).
At the moment it is not possible to record a conversation while using the Bluetooth headset. (I don't want to use a cable headset, because I get in and out the car alot).
The problem that occurs is that when recording with windows mobile it records your own voice, but not the voice on the other side.
I have tried with many other PocketPC's but I can't find anything that works.
Try it yourself if you don't understand whta I mean.
Does anybody have a solution for me?
Thx!
Possibly the problem is that when the headset is enabled the speaker of the phone is disabled.
So if somehow the speaker keeps working even when bluetooth headset is enabled it will record the conversation on the other side.

[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?

yeah .. im experiencing the same problem as well. Its random . Therefore, i do not know if the HD2 supports the use of mic when we plug in out earphones. From what i tried, sometimes im able. Other times im not . i dont know whats wrong as well. Anyone here has a solution ???
no one knows or has any solution ??

Permanently disabling headphone jack using build.prop?

Hello!
I can't use my phone's earpiece speaker during calls because the phone insists that a headphone is connected to the headphone jack, despite the fact that the 3.5mm jack is already removed from the device (had a repairman remove it for me).
Apps that should do the trick work only halfway (it reroutes media audio but not in call audio. I have to put it on speaker mode everytime I do a call.)
So, the question is, can I disable wired headset detection on my device using build.prop or any method that tweaks the OS itself? My phone's rooted, btw.
Thanks in advance!
@BsofBordeaux Did you find answer for your question?
Did you get it fix ?

Bluetooth Headset Mic Does not work

Hello
I am using Sony WI - XB 400 bluetooth earphones. While it connects fine and I watch movies, listen to music etc. The microphone of the device does not work with third party applications like voice recorder, discord, etc.
If I make a call and keep the phone in my pocket the mic of the bluetooth device works fine. However if I simply open up a voice recorder and keep the phone far away, so as to force it to use the bluetooth mic, no voice is recorded. The same goes while I try to test micrphone in discord settings. It detects nothing if I speak on the bluetooth mic/ tap on it, but if I tap on the phone's inbuild mic or talk into it I can see the mic working.
Anyone faced such issues?
I'm using the huawei freebuds 3 and apple airpods daily with my nord. The microphone works fine for me, people hear/understand what I say. Could it be that your microphone permissions need access? Check that out before you proceed.
But you talk about recording, are you using some kind of call recording software? If so I can tell you this is not possible without root. I have searched and tested several apps but recording quality is verry bad in such a way it's useless. I have not rooted my phone yet, so I cannot say anything about how it works when rooted.
