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.
check this topic, some people already found out several models that works with SGS

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 right channel is the only one that works with any pair of 3.5mm speakers/headphones, i have not tested bluetooth.
The internal speaker plays both channels fine, but with speakers/headphones there is just a VERY faint buzzing/humming in the left one.
Tested Sennheiser CX475, Logitech X-240, JVC Marshmallow, older altec lansing and harmon kardon PC speakers, all with the same result. All of them work as intended when connected to another source.
Running stock 2.3.6 with k0nane's rooted kernel and shabbypenguin's CWM
Not sure if this is a HW or SW problem but i bought the phone on saturday 4/28 so i still have until the 12th for a T-Mo store replacement exchange.
Update: Sound is fine over bluetooth, so it's probably not a software problem, guess i'll just trek to the T-Mobile store again.
This may sound stupid, but do you have the jack plugged all the way in? I had a car aux cable plugged in a couple of times with this phone when it would sort of work, but was not clicked in all the way.
May not be your problem, but it's an easy thing to check.
Yeah, I'd agree. It seems like Samsung headphone jacks are "tighter" than what a lot of other devices are. My samsung hs3000 headphone adapter and the headphone jack on the phone itself, are both much "tighter" than my sony mw600 jack.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking!
Just saying that it's pretty easy to think you're plugging in the headphone plug all the way on some jacks, when really you're not.

Go to settings/Accessibility and uncheck MONO ;-) This feature is for listening to one earpiece (Wired)
I just received my Tronsmart TS7 Glacier from Geekbuying. The phone is a nice HTC One lookalike with some awesome features including a long life 2200 mah battery, MTK6589 Quad Core processor, 1 GB RAM and a crystal clear screen. It is extremely well built and feels both heavy and solidi the hand. The included cover is rubbish, though it is free in the package so I'm not going to complain. Bluetooth supports A2DP, which works well with my Bluetooth stereo. The bottom menu, home and back keys are capacitive and illuminated - though they are so dim, that they could have avoided backlighting them altogether.The device was easy enough to root, so all in all great value. Make sure you ask for a discount for the phone, after initiating live chat on Geekbuying. I am not affiliated to them.
Oddly enough, the package had the IMEI stickers in the box, which said Cubot One. They look visually identical and I wanted to check if they are infact the same pieces, for firmware support. Can anyone confirm this please?
The supplied headset is rubbish, so I used a BlackBerry and an iPhone "headset" (Headphones with a built in mic and that has 4 contacts on the end of the 3.5mm jack) and used it with the phone. Unfortunately the headset is detected as a headphone only (i.e. With no mic; You see this on an icon near the Wifi signal) - spitting out terrible muffled sounds, unless I press and hold the (Call / End) button on the cord. The second I let go of the button, the sound returns to a terrible state.
If I plug in regular headphones, without a mic, I'm fine, but I have this problem with headsets (Again - headphones with a built in mic with call / end button) used with the TS7.Do any of you have a similar issue? I'm worried I got a half lemon. It's really bothering me. Can this be fixed by software?
Would love to hear back from you. on whether this is a common problem, or one only with my set.
P.S. The rubbish supplied headset is detected / works fine - But they sound TERRIBLE! The supplied headset also works well with my Blackberry 9790 - but my Blackberry headset does not work well with the TS7. Any thoughts? Do I need a special headset?
Thanks in advance,

I have the same problem man, and I was wondering If I'm the only one!!!
I tried with sony ericsson headphones...
And I have an additional problem.. when I connect my phone to my pc speakers or my amplifier and the big speakers, It pauses the music, disconnects and connects again to the cable... Every time I press play it does the same!
And another thing that I couldn't figure out with this phone is that when I go to install a big game it tries to install the sd data to phone's storage,
and says that I don't have enought free space... Even though from starage setting I have set both those settings to SD card!!!

I fount this topic because and I have that problem and do just what you say. I got my phone few days ago.
I try one my in-ear headphones and have terrible sound, then I try speakers from the computer, and when I press play, it let sound for 1 sec and stop immediately. My first conclusion was that perhaps it has a weak sound output on jack, or headphones and speakers have too much ohms resistance.
II hope you will find some solution.
For the memory, try replacing the internal memory to the memory card using this procedure (put link in google translator to translate in english): http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=616319
Hi there. I do not have the pausing problem, but I can now listen to any headphones / headsets with an adapter I bought from eBay.
Seach for "iphone to nokia adapter" on Ebay. It should cost between $2.50 to $3.00.
Hope it helps - I am enjoying all my headsets with the TS7 now (Blackberry, iphone, beats etc).
Do any of you know if there are any firmware updates for this phone?
Thanks...

I can confirm it works. I just got a cable that I ordered 14.4. for headphones. Now the sound is normal (no more like to play in a barrel), and recognizes the headset with a microphone (in the taskbar near the clock displays the headset with a microphone, before was just headphone icon). But I still can not play music through the speakers of the computer. Immediately after press play, the song stops and disconnect the speakers. Probably they have too much resistance or something that can not "push" sound.
Oh, and here's a link cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/22132695223...arms=gh1g=I221326952237.N19.S2.M-34513.R2.TR2
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.
---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------
I found something, just a clue, I don't mean it'll work for sure.
http://m.instructables.com/id/Galaxy-Nexus-and-others-headset-remote-with-medi/
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 have a head unit which has latest Witson mcu(mx 3.08) (with latest malaysk rom)(BluetoothWirelessChip is MD725). When dealer setup this headunit into my car they installed an external mic to top of the car. Problem is headunit always uses internal mic. Google voice search is working perfectly but with bluetooth calls my sound is bad.
I don't want to dissamble headunit. Is there anything I can try to make external mic work with software? (should i try different mcu's, firmwares, factory settings?, modifications). Because it's really hard to dissamble headunit from car..

I don't want to dissamble headunit. Is there anything I can try to make external mic work with software? (should i try different mcu's, firmwares, factory settings?, modifications). Because it's really hard to dissamble headunit from car..

I have the same problem in a Dasaita PX-5 (MTC-D) unit. Just discovered it a few days ago. I saw in another post somebody claiming that the main problem is that plugging and external mic on the jack does not disables the internal mic (they're in a parallel configuration rather than serial with the mic female jack disconnecting the electrical path of the other mic when something is plugged in). Also, the post stated that the electrical path between the mic and the first chip (Bluetooth?) using the mic signal was long enough to act as an "antenna". If all this is right, I don't think it can be solved with SW settings.
I'm planning to disassemble the unit in a few days as anyways I need to fix other connections and will report back here what I find and if I manage to improve the mic quality on voice calls.

I just read that someone managed to make external mic working with just an older mcu update (2.60). I'll definitely try this.

Well, after inspecting the unit, I can confirm that at least the Dasaita ones DO disconnect the internal mic when connecting an external one. But seems that audio quality on calls is a widespread issue. Will keep on checking, but things seem to point to the on-board Bluetooth Chip and some people claims "some" external USB Bluetooth dongles are compatible.

Have you tried this? Does it work? Noticed my rear (external) mic isn't working too. MCU version 3.3
Any update on this one, I am connecting external MIC on dasaita max6 px6 and feeling that internal is still enabled ?
also what is the best location to put the external mic to ave best sound from driver's mouth ?
Hello, i have the same problem with my external microphone on my Dasaita PX6 MAX6.
First of all i should say it was very rough ride even to get my unit. They put ridiculous discount on aliexpress to hook up people to order, then they say "uh-oh sorry but overseas warehouse are empty, please cancel your order" so then you check again and see that there are still units available but the price now is x2 suddenly and surprisingly!
When i told them 'no, i will not cancel the order, i need the unit' - they started to slowly reply on my messages with murky and unclear answers going days and days until finally i put them to the wall and send it to my address in another country.
Their english speaking i think is very bad on purpose.
Second of all - now this problem with the external mic.
Ever since i installed this HU (around 2 months maybe) my friends complain they hear me very bad while talking on the phone. It was just the other week that i got the time to investigate and lo and behold even when the external mic is plugged in - the internal built-in one is still active. I tried 10 times unplugging and plugging, restarting etc but no - still the internal is active.
Knowing the aliexpress-Dasaita are very bad at communicating i contacted facebook-Dasaita. They told me to install the latest firmware - which i did, and nothing changes. Then they told me to contact Dasaita on aliexpress.
I contacted Dasaita aliexperss explaining what i did and the answer is basically: install latest firmware. If it does not work - use the built-in mic.
What the F!>.... Dasaita... Didn't you F-in understand that the internal mic is $h!7? And you sold me problematic unit? ...

Obviously i will avoid them in the future. They are tricky and deceitful, lie and hide on pretty much every step and run away from their problems, and just trow in some "solution" just because something should be answered... And until someone puts their balls to the wall they will do that...
Now, if anyone else from here can advice how to fix this if he had already fixed his one, please do it will be very much apppreciated.
Thank you
Previously discussed, disconnect internal mic hardware. Have a search for more - detailed info, also MTCB section where this issue was more common.
Agree with comments regarding how Chinese sellers operate on AliExpress, they all seem to be the same. Would be good if they were mandated to honour purchaser local consumer laws.

So I know this was posted a while ago but I have the PX6 10.2 Dasaita and my external mic won't work, even when it's plugged in it still uses the Internal mic and doesn't "register" there's an external mic attached it's garbage. do you know how I would be able to make the external mic work?
Hi, I'm having the same issue, what did you end up doing if I may ask?

Just disconnecting internal mic and adding external mic through mic jack is enough to make external mic work?
After a read thru forums, you could post what you find and ask clarifying questions. Just a suggestion.
Is there a way how to exactly check internal/external mic quality? Or identify which one is in use? I have bought external mic for XTrons PX6 Android 11, MTCH. If I plug mic in, I see no difference. Sound quality is quite good anyway so I am not sure if install external mic I already payed for.
