the mic on the headphone that came with the phone seems to be having loose connection; i need to wiggle the wire near the connector and hold it at certain angle for it to work correctly. this broke in exactly 35 days from purchase.
Opened a support ticket need to see how it goes
same issue
out of the box I can't get the microphone to work.... thought maybe I just couldn't figure out how to use it, but apparently no.
keep me updated please.
I Have the same problem. The microphone and the button to play/pause don't work. The music still hear thou. Other headsets with adapter work fine.
I have had 3 of microphones on the Le Eco Pro 3 headphones stopped working. Le Eco replaced them, but it is just a matter of time for the others to fail.
Got Bluetooth Beats Powerbeats 2 because of issue.
Le Eco claims it is just me; No.

Ok here's the story.
My Prophet is, well, an elderly.
I think it's like 5 year old.
I already had to replace touchscreen, battery and the rear speaker.
Anyway my problem now is that I don't have any sound.
Only when I recieve a call or text message I get a ringtone or notification.
Windows media player does not give sound, screen taps etc neither.
Only ringtones give sounds, through rear speaker.
Also when I get a call the earphone speakers doesn't work, the microphone does.
My earphone jack works perfectly so it isn't the audio chip that's broke.
So what i was thinking is that my phone thinks it's using an headset and redirects al sounds to my earphone jack. Only using the rear speaker for ringtones. (so maybe someone could confirm that the ringtone still rings when using an headset)
So does anybody know what the problem is or just help me on the way?
Regard, Paul
I doubt it's 5 years old! Maybe 2?...
Anyway, this is a common issue, the headphone jack is not 'releasing' the sound back to the speaker due to short / stuck connector switch. Blow down it or wiggle the plug.

ok, i was right about the headphone jack making the phone think that it was using headphones when it didn't.
I opened my phone and also opened the casing for the jackplug. I saw that a piecie op copper was bent to far and that it was causing to cancel a circuit wich made the phone think it was unsing no headphones.
When you plug in the headphones, the plug pushes away this copper piece and stops sound.
My solution was to bend the piece back so it makes contact again when the headphones are not plugged in.
Thank you for your advice, it's working great again.
Hello.
I'm trying to figure out and possible find a solution for why some headphones don't work with some phones?
For example a very well known brand Scullcandy. Their line of Skullcandy FIX Bud headphones work fine with Galaxy S2, but don't work with Galaxy S3, they also don't work with LG Nitro HD.
On GS3 they work for media playback, but when trying dial out or answer a call, the phone totally disconnects the headphones, the icon that shows when headphones are plugged in is no longer showed and at that point one has to physically re-plug the headphones in order to use them for media playback.
It does sound like phone's software issue, I sure hope so and there is a way fix it...
Another phone I had bad experience was LG Nitro HD. Even though the phone is totally waste of money it don't accept any iphone type headphones, they might work for playback, but mic or buttons don't work.
So what could possibly causing this issues?
I've tried post on phone related sections, but got no answers...
I also tried contact Samsung support regarding this issue, but they simply blew me off with "we don't provide support for 3nd hardware". Now I'm waiting for an answer from Skullcandy support.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
Probably the 3-pin layout of your phone. some are really weird in the way they work

There might be a couple reasons. The first is the connector. Some headsets use a three pole connector while others use a four pole connector. The other issue will likely be he pin out. The headphone jack might be a standard mechanical interface but not electrically. Both are hard problems but an adapter cable might help you.
All headphones connectors in question are 4 pin type, without using micrometer they look identical. Since all these headphones works fine in mp3 players, where only 3 pin connectors used, means the 3 out of 4 pins are in proper places and connected properly inside the wire.
So, without taking headphones apart it seems physically there is nothing different between them.
In addition, if there would be something physically wrong, it would not explain, why SGS3 sense when Skullcandy headphones connected, it shows headphones icon, but when a phone call initialized it "forgets" about it.
It sure seem to me like software related..
My problem is that the Earphones produce a weird bug but others do not and work fine, Lol?
Doesnt Anyone face this annoying problem?????

My Bose QC 15 headphones had a problem with the iPhone-compatible cable, that includes a volume control and microphone.
Another "audio only" Bose cable that omits the volume control and microphone is also available off eBay for ~$10.
I asked Bose for an Android-compatible version with volume control and microphone, and they said they're "considering making one".
normally the headphone jack provides a link for headphones with e.g. microphones or buttons (to accept calls), which uses the same wires as for the audio.
the effect can be triggered by e.g. dirty connectors. so I once had a new pair of headphones and on the connector jack there was a bit of debris (glue or whatever left). they did also cause the phone to pause/play every now and then. so I cleaned them and then they did work without problems. also sometimes the connectors have to "grind in" until there is a good electrical connection.
however as it is steadily pausing/playing on your iPhone 5 headphones, I dont think theres an issue with the connection itself.
it might just be that the iPhone 5 headphones are trying to "communicate" with your phone, which it doesnt support and therefore is misinterpreting it as the start/stop commands. you cant do anything about it I guess.
(except dont buy apple products anymore )
Hi everyone, I got my new mix 2s this week and I am sad to say it has audio problems when using the included usb-C Jack adapter.
My car is equipped with a sony stereo with a front facing AUX in, a cdx-gt33u. So, as soon as i plug the phone in the aux in, there's a hiss, a loud white noise. After some seconds that the screen is locked or the phone isn't sending any audio the noise stops. When I play music the noise starts again and covers the music as it is louder.
I tried every cable I had, even in a friend's car with a similar stereo unit and the problem is the same. With a TRRS cable (one with also the microphone's ring) there are also clicks and pops.
I would like to keep this phone as I really like it (and I can't find any good alternative for about 500€) but I found no fix. I'm considering returning the device as I work with audio professionally and not being able to play music in my car is just ridiculous.
What's your experience? Did I get a broken device or is it a software issue?
MIUI version is MIUI Global 9.5 Stable (9.5.19.0 (ODGMIFA)
EDIT: I considered installing another rom or rooting to apply the "<ctl name="RX HPH Mode" value="CLS_H_HIFI" /> Replace CLS_H_HIFI with CLS_H_LP"" fix, but I bought the phone less than a week ago and rooting it just to listen music doesn't seem reasonable to me.
It's working just fine in my cars audio in... However, the LG G6 my girlfriend owns has the same problem with my car that you just described
I don't experience any audio problems when using the USB Audio Adaptor with wired headphones. Car audio systems sometimes have issues though when you hook up a phone with a wired sound connection. I think a grounding issue creates the noise.

You are totally right. Yesterday I bought a ground loop isolator and the problem is gone.
I also got a small bluetooth receiver to put into my stereo aux in. Quality is worse but at least I can just leave it in the car without having to worry about adapters! (now I have to worry about its battery though)
This jack-less technology is leading us in a really uncomfortable direction but I guess we have to live with it.

I agree unfortunately. Phone device manufacturers and headphone makers seem to have decided that we're going to have to use Bluetooth whether we want to or not.

You could leave the adapter in your glove compartment in case the battery runs down on your Bluetooth receiver.
Ive got a bluetooth receiver in my glove box powered by usb from my head unit so it turns on/off with the stereo. Its arguable that audio is worse using bt if you have aptx codec or even better aptx-hd which is virtually lossless. Using the dac in the phone could induce more noise because if the space constraints in a phone and proximity or rf components. Having a good quality Bluetooth receiver with a quality dac could be better. Best of all is a usb dac though.
Hi dear friends,
I'm having a weird issue with wired (jack) headphones during calls : I can hear my own microphone !
For example during a call, if I'm in windy conditions, I can hear the wind.
During such scenarios, my phone is in a pocket or in a bag, so the mic I hear is the one on the headphone's cable.
This problem arises with either the headphones provided with the Pixel, or with any other wired headphones kit (I've tested with a Samsung).
On headphones with volume control, I can even hear a loud sound when volume up or down ...
And this issue is here out of the box, without any APP installed.
My phone has already been replaced by Google support, but the issue is still there one the new one.
Does any of you Pixel 3a owners, have seen such an issue with its phone ?
This is normal operation.
If you are wondering why the noise cancellation isn't working better, you have to understand how it works. It compares the audio from the mic on the headphone wire with the audio from a mic(s) on the phone. Anything that both mics pick up is cancelled by the noise cancellation software because it is considered an "outside noise". But anything picked up on just the wired mic is considered part of the conversation and won't be cancelled out. That means if your phone is in your pocket and it isn't getting the same wind noise (for example), then the phone will not cancel out that audio because it's only being picked up by the wired mic and not both mics.
Hopefully that helps. If you want wind noise to be cancelled out, try holding your phone in your hand and see if that helps. But the wind noise may not be picked up even then depending on which way the wind is blowing vs what orientation your phone is being held in, so you might have to hold the phone a couple of different ways to find one that works the best at that time.

Thanks for your reply
My guess is that this issue is not related to noise cancellation.
1) I've indeed mention that, in my test scenario, my phone was in my pocket. But I can remember of several times I was holding the phone in my hand, or phone was lying on a table, and even then the sound captured by both mics was audible by me.
2) When I'm in call with another person, and I'm hearing the wind in my own mic, the other person does NOT hear the wind.
Isn't anyone here using jack wired headphones ?
