Mic not working after unplugging wired handsfree

I have the following problem quite frequently. I would like to know if this is common and if there is a known workaround/solution:
1. Phone works normally
2. Plug in wired hands-free to make a few calls
3. Unplug wired hands-free
4. Mic does not work on subsequent calls (both incoming and outgoing calls)
5. A reboot resolves the issue
I performed the above sequence once before posting and I could not reproduce the problem. So, it seems to be an intermittent one.
I am using the stock hands-free that comes along with the Galaxy R retail box
Thanks

This is a problem on all Galaxy R. The headset jack is faulty. Plug the headset in and out once or twice and that should fix it. Hope it helped.

You mean this is a hardware problem on Galaxy R? Can't this be fixed with some firmware upgrade in future?

Oh yeah, that makes sense, I sometimes have to unplug and replug my headphones to make the play/pause button work. Just takes a bit of getting used to.

From what I had read, it is a hardware problem. But who knows. A majority of problems can be sorted out through software. Lets wait for ICS to make sure.

Buddy the headset jack is NOT faulty.
It is a bug in the GB version.
ICS does not have this problem.

XWLP2 POLAND rom is one of the finest roms.
Might be its your jack causing the problem then.
Try SSC then

Buddy, the user who started this thread, was having the problem with the Device's/Handset's mic and NOT WITH the headset's/hands-free's mic.
So if you have a problem with your headset's mic...there is a good chance that it is a hardware related problem.
Please try another with different headset before going to SSC.
Btw, if you need to buy new headset, I'd recommend Samsung EHS64AVFWE (with 3 buttons & mic).
It comes with Galaxy Note but it works perfectly with our device too I'm using it!

kitkat screen mirroring fixed the easy way

Or allshare cast dongle fixed.
Just install "ScreenMirroring Patch" from Google play.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.screenmirroringpatch
I am unrooted in the UK on o2. I updated to kitkat and screen mirroring stopped working as this has been happening to other people if you search Google. so after many searchings on Google I found this to fix a different problem, but it fixed screen mirroring after updating to kitkat.
Wanted to put this out there because I could not find a fix searching Google. Hope this helps.

If anyone is using the AllShare Cast Hub device, can you tell me what output resolution your device is using since KitKat. Mine which are on old firmware (no way to update the firmware with S4 or Note3!!), output 1080p/30 which is an unusual resolution and my Panasonic TV doesn't support it. Prior to KitKat, it was still 720p on the hub device even the phone is of course 1080

Resolution is 1920x1080 full hd.I tryed now a movie i am on uk 4.4.2 and is working.

Yes the 1080 bit I agree...its the refresh bit thats the problem. At 1080, you can have 50/60Hz (most common), 24p (blu-ray) and 30p (weird things). Samsung is using the 30p connection which is what is causing me all the problems

for those who can't search or just can't be ar**d!

Still doesn't work for me and my Cloudnetgo Miracast dongle. After patching with the Samsung app, about one in every ten screen mirroring attempts connect but only for about half a minute.

My note 3 didn't connect either. What I did was hit the reset button once on the hub device and then turned on the screen mirroring very quickly after the release of the reset button. It connected and always does since then.

Well, you can stick it in your pocket and take it anywhere. Hotel room or work. Bluray player stays at home. The allshare/screen mirroring is way better with my LG tv. I can plug my headphones into the phone and watch the tv. The cast hub will disconnect if you keep the headphones plugged in.

It doesn't work with the hub. It works with my LG Tv mirror cast. However, if you have the hdmi adapter the headphones will work while it outputs video to you tv. I noticed this after the kitkat update.

so, theres no way on kitkat?

Any one have fix this for rooted device?

as far as my findings go, try it with a stock kernel, even when rooted it should work then!

Patch says not needed. Used to mirror from note 3 to tv thru my Sony BDP s3200 but quit after note 3 android update. BS. What to do? It was so clean and NO LAG AT ALL. PISSED

[Q]Bluetooth popping/clicking

I want to love this phone but I am having difficulty for one reason: Bluetooth issues.
So I have a Note 3, my wife has an S4, a friend has an S5. 2 I know have the M8. I loved the Note 3 but Kit Kat has killed it until I can root it at least.
Anyway, all of these phones work flawlessly streaming bluetooth music to my car EXCEPT the M8. I had a Rezound for 5 minutes and it had the same issue. It is just this annoying clicking sound that is similar but worse than the stock camera click.It happens about every 10 seconds on the dot. I drive a 2011 Kia Optima LX (daddy car, ha). I know it isn't boom sound because that isn't enabled over bluetooth. I tried playing with max volume, low volume, mid volume. I tried a 3rd party equalizer. I tried streaming music, youtube videos/music, local files...all the same clicking. ALL HTC phones I have tried have the same issue! I I have no idea what to try. I also tried turning NFC off...wifi off. Driving out into the middle of nowhere to make sure there is no interference. This does not happen through the speakers or headphones. Only Bluetooth. I am at wits end!
I really would hate to return this over that issue, but I will. I want to love it - but something like this is annoying enough to make me hate it. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I cold do to fix this?
Thanks for any information.

I have the same problem with Pandora over Bluetooth in a Chevy Equinox and on my Beats Box portable. This did Not happen with my HTC Rezound. Does anyone have a fix for this ? Just makes me want to explode !

Hmm. Well that's interesting. Maybe I just got a dud this round. Do you happen to have a car bluetooth that streams media?

FWIW I have horrendous issues with the HTC m8 and the A2DP BT Audio Streaming in my car where in the past my S3 and S4 had 0 issues what so ever.
In some cases it won't pair consistently and other times even when it is paired, I can't control the app to play/advance tracks. I hope/expect HTC is aware of this and is working on a resolution.

Last question, have you tried using google play music at the highest quality setting? After further research - I believe this is directly related to the known issue with FLAC files. HQ Play Music will stream FLAC depending on the artist. I would be interested as to if you have tried that at all and if it exists on viper rom.
I was able to repro the issue on multiple devices and that enabled me to narrow the device itself out. That's kind of good/bad news, haha. Google has a fix but it did not make the cut for 4.4.2 - so I am curious as to if some of the leaked stuff has the fix or not. Trial and error will likely be the only way to know. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...nd-stuttering-on-android-4-4-a-fix-is-coming/ describes the issue to a T.

Hi, did you sort out this issue?. I also have the same problem

o has lower volume than music player

I wish also the volume was louder on both earphones and loudspeaker.
I use aftermarket Sony earphones and they have always made music sound better and louder on other devices but this device seems to just be too low. Its a shame I would love it to be increased its about the only negative I find with this device.

Guys you can try this...at your own risk of course Back up first the audio file. : ------>
vonotny said:
Using the headset or the earpiece? I'm talking of using the headset. The output of the 3.5mm jack is far too low.
I found a solution, btw. I deleted the /system/etc/audio/codec folder and tadaaa - output appears at least twice as loud, both during calls and when listening to music. Previously, I had to set my car's stereo to volume setting 25 (I usually use 15 when listening to the radio) to be able to hear something on the autobahn, now I only need to set it to 12-15.
So there definitely was an issue with output on the headphone jack, and for my device it is now solved.

Still happy with that solution, encountering no issues at all and DTS audio also still works a charm, makes the headphone output much richer, especially in the lower frequencies.

So you deleted only the 'codec" folder not the all thing? This is important.
The problem is that I can't find this folder under system folder.
This is what i have : \system\media\Pre-loaded\Pictures. Only this
I don't havethat /audio/codec folder.

Audio quality

I'm thinking of picking up the note 5 today, curious as to the audio quality of both headsets and Bluetooth. Is there an equalizer app that works well?
