I searched first, and can't find the solution to this problem: Since upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2, the audio jack in my car that leads to a cassette adapter is registering on the Eris as a headset w/mic. This becomes a problem when I want to do a hands-free call.
It used to be on 2.1 with the same hardware that while listening to music in my car, if a call came in, the music would mute and I could speak and the phone's internal mic would pick me up. Now, with 2.2., it seems to be expecting the sound to come in from an external mic.
Any help in fixing this would be appreciated! This is one that will send me back down to 2.1 unfortunately, as hands-free calling is kind of key for me being on the road a lot.
I found this similar question from 2008, unfortunately unanswered:

Pretty simple question, theres got to be a software solution. I've searched high and low on these forums and many people have the same problem but I have yet to discover a resolution. How would one enable the internal (built-in) microphone having a 3.5mm audio adapter routing the sound through a casette adapter? Is feedback going to be an issue?
Thanks,

Big thanks to the community -- as you can tell by my post count, most questions I have are answered here before I ever have to post.

Which ROM? Have you tried another Froyo ROM? I know my DEris worked on Kaos just fine.
I'm on kaosfroyo 35-1
Ive seen that problem in the new builds of kaosfroyo. I think its just a problem in kaosfroyo. Check with punk.kaos about it.
Oddly enough, after continued playing around with this ROM....
-- used metamorph to apply black status bar and circle battery with links from kaosfroyo faq on github
-- flashed the htc ringtone package
-- set autokiller to "strict"
-- setcpu to 480-787 default; 192-480 sleep
.... and the problem seems to have gone away. Not sure IF or WHY any of those had an impact. I noticed with the new status bar that all the icons were a little different, and it wasn't long after that I re-tested the microphone while an audio jack was plugged into it because I noticed the icon was just headphones now instead of the headset w/mic icon.
Hmm...that's a bit strange. Try calling someone with ur headphones in and see if it still trys to use it as an input device. Your theme change just might have covered up the problem.

Hi guys, I've had my Hero about a year now. The other day, all of a sudden my speaker seemed to stop working. I thought, oh great, it's a hardware bust. I then tried a call and the sound came out fine. That is the only sound working. Everything works with my earphones plugged in. Any advice?
Any ideas guys, I'm pretty desperate here -_-
It could be something wrong with your media volume? I know when you plug in headphones there is a different volume setting? Try a sound volume manager like audio manager .. there is different
Does the problem replicate itself on different roms. etc.. also what rom are you using.
sorry, I know this is basic
Thankyou for the reply man .
Unfortunately I know it is not down to a volume problem because also the ringer volume does not make any sounds.
I am currently on an ancient Floyo ROM as I haven't been able to flash over the last few months. I'm currently waiting for a Froyo Sense with working camera or a reasonably stable GingerBread ROM.
Did you test a handsfree calling? Try making a call and enabling mobile speaker (there should be an option pressing menu button while you are calling).
HTC Hero, as many mobile phones, has two different speakers, one in the back used to play music and loud sounds, and another one on the front to make calls. I think your back speaker is not working and that's why you can't hear anything except voice when you call.

Thankyou, I did not know there were two different speakers, although I suppose it makes sense when you think about it!
Tried what you said and my back speaker is definitely knackered - may have just persuaded myself to get a Z >_>
cheers
has anyone noticed that the media volume automatically lowers (if its on high/max) when the headphones are disconnected?
this is kinda of annoying for me as i only really use the headphones jack to connect to my car stereo so i would prefer it to be a bit louder than normal.
ive tried it on PowerAMP, Meridian and the stock music player
Is there a way to stop this from happening?
SGS2 running KE7 with FD mod and apps frozen
Upz!
Done some searching but couldn't find a solution.
I havent tried this myself, (haven't got my SGS2 yet) but i wonder if Tasker can help you. Sound like it can run sript to do something when the headset is plugged or unplugged.
true but thats just a workaround rather than a solution
i was hoping someone had figured out how to disable this auto-lowering permanently
SGS2 (sprint) here and it has same problem... anyone found a solution to this? annoying as heck since I use 3.5mm exclusively for in-car's aux port and constantly need to increase volume to max on plugin...
Having same issue on Droid X CM 7.1, I'm thinking it's an Android 2.3.5 thing. I've tried using takser and setting profiles to overcome it, but I've had limited success.
Hi
It is my first post in forum.
I have SGS2 with 2.3.5 of Android.
I have the same problem, even when I don't use headphones.
Media volume (sms, email) is reduced at its lowest automatically when I receive an SMS or email notification. Then I have to kill all programs by (clear memory).
Any solution yet?
My problem is this--when I have earphones plugged in, notification and ring tones come out both the earphones and the external speaker on the phone. This is a problem in ways Tasker/Llama cannot solve that I have seen.
I would like to be able to have earphones plugged in and have rings/notifications/alerts play only through the earphones, and not out the external speaker.
Is there a hack/ROM/app that will enable this to happen?
This comment says CM has done this since CM7. Can anyone confirm it's working in the latest CM nightly? I wanted to wait as long as possible before rooting and ROMing, but if it fixes this problem, I'm up for it tonight.
Thanks in advance.
I've had this problem on all ROMs from stock to CM9. Am I just being dumb and haven't figured out how to send all sound through the headphones? Because it seems extremely strange that the device would even be set up to force sound out of both the headphones AND speakers, under any circumstances.
Anyone got any ideas? Many thanks!
I recently lost the ability to hear my alarm through my headphone jack. I plug in external speakers at night to listen to music.
I tried to do a search, but that function is down. I have MeanROM installed and would have asked in that thread, but since I don't have more than 10 posts, I'm apparently "too inexperienced" to be trusted to post in a developer thread.
I have fresh flash of MeanROM 6.1 installed, just to make sure it isn't a setting. I know there were kernel changes made to allow for Sweep2wake functionality. My alarm played through the headphone jack just fine prior to this update, so I'm wondering if there is a setting somewhere or a file somewhere, that I need to modify to get this functionality back.
Thanks.
I downloaded a 3rd party alarm app and it plays through the headphone jack just fine. Anybody know why the default HTC alarm app would stop working through the headphone jack?
Now that the search feature is back online, I did some looking and found a couple of threads where people are having a similar issue as me. However, they didn't receive a response, so I'm still stuck as to a fix.
Anybody have any ideas?
I tried to see if a similar question had been asked and answered, but could not find anything quite on point so I am hoping someone can help me with this issue.
I have Viper4Android installed on my rooted Moto X and have been using it forever without issue under the "headset" tab. I just got a bluetooth headset and have been experiencing some weird problems. I loaded up the same profile for the bluetooth tab as my headset, but it seems like volume almost "flutters" at times.
When the phone is connected to my bluetooth headset it tends to occur when the chorus of a song hits and the bass is more pronounced. It sounds like the volume decreases for a bit and then once there is less bass the vocals get louder again. However, I don't experience the same thing when I hook up the same headset to my phone with a cable.
I am trying to figure out whether it might be my phone, the headset or a setting on Viper that I need to adjust for when it is using bluetooth as opposed to a wired connection. Thanks for any advice!

it's maybe cause of the app, the bugs of the viper4android
check the viper4android thread, maybe there's new update for it and fixed the bugs
