Hello all.
I have this annoying issue and seen this posted elsewhere. Currently I am running Airborne TB rom (it was doing this before the rom flash). When I am plugged into the headphone jack, and I receive a call, I have to unplug the headphones or the caller cannot hear me. On all of the other Androids I have had (4), I could leave the jack plugged in and just answer the call. The caller would play over my truck radio and I could just talk. They could hear me just fine. Now I have to answer and hit speakerphone (which is horrible when in a cradle) for the caller to hear me. I am sure this is by design. If the Airborne TB RC1B1 Rom dev could see this, maybe they could fix it.. AWESOME ROM with GREAT support..
thanks..

yea ive had the same problem....i was just hoping for a fix for at least until my z-130 comes in....BT FTW
I'm on a stock TB and realized this the other day.
I loved getting calls over the cars speakers with my old tp2...
i got some iphone headphones (klipsh promedia S4 headphones) that have inline volume, call answer and mic. I found it weird i could not use it on this phone since i can use it on a bb with no issues.... so this can be "fixed" via a different rom? i thought this phone just didnt support it? I CAN use the play/pause button
only..but no volume or mic
if this can be added, i got one more reason to root this phone.
I assume it is because the phone thinks we have a wired headset (mic and headphones) in.
so it may have to wait untill we get kernel goodness.

Doesn't work on a wired headset either; I tried Bose and iPhone earbuds.
I am hoping the Dev for Airborne fixes it the Rom. I really like the speed and battery life with this rom. This rom has amazing support!!!
Thanks.>

I am sure it will eventually get fixed...
These Devs are really good..

I am having a problem hearing since i rooted,but everyone can hear me fine.
same issues here, my droid 1, droid 2 and incredible worked when just plugged into an aux cable in the car. The thunderbolt turns off the mic when i plug in the aux making it imposible to talk to a caller over the car speakers with an aux cable. I really hope there is a way to fix this with a rom. It seams like such a little thing but it could be a deal breaker. Dont feel like using buying a bluetooth hard wire hit $200+.

Hey..basically I walked home in the rain today, using my original HTC Headset that came with my Touch HD. I got home, and a couple of hours I tried to make a call using the headset to find that although I could hear the caller, they could not hear me through the headset. All was fine once I used the handset alone, so I assume the rain has affected the microphone in my headset.
Anyone experienced this before? More importantly..anyone experienced this and managed to get their headset to work again? As is, i'm going to try and leave it over night to see if it makes a difference, and any moisture has evaporated..hopefully this will solve the problem. I will keep you all updated!
Also, does anyone know of an alternate headset with a microphone that has fairly decent sound quality..the stock HTC ones aren't all that great, and I can't use my Sennheiser HD205's as I need to microphone in a headset. Any suggestions welcome.
Many thanks in advance!
UPDATE: I've just found that the cable of the headset is damaged near the jack itself, so a replacement will be necessary...any suggestions?
there is no other headphone than bose. if u really want to listen music (at least of me) but
go for sennheiser £19 that one is made for iphone one for normal use if u dont want to pay bose.
i had headphone misery with htc touch hd and bose together,,however,
i bought this sennheiser i feel this is best for price. if u dont want to pay bose.
cheers mate! Think i'm going to go for the Sennheisers
HTC Touch ProII
I have exactly the same problem that just the mic on the headset is not working... but this was an out of the box! So I assumed that it was the headset, and bought a new one. Alas the new one didn't work either. I also bought an htc adaptor and connected a 2.5 mm mic head set and the voice came thru very quitely for a couple of seconds and then died. I don't think its the software... I updated my rom to:
ROM 1.86.401.0 (67102) WWE
And changed the Orange SPL to Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3
Any one got any ideAS?
I'm using obsidian v2 froyo build. Music and navigation work fine thru the headphone Jack when attached to my car stereo. However when a call comes in or if I'm trying to make a call I get nothing. I've searched thru various forums and others are having the same issue but could not find a solution. Any help would be appreciated
its a "feature" of all the froyo roms. froyo seems to want to ignore headphones without mic as it has a self-esteem problem and does not trust the quality of its mic at a distance.
it seems to be a kernel issue and won't be able to be addressed until they devs have source. only alternative is to have a cable with an in-line mic. that works for most of the roms. (i would say all, except i just flashed latest macnut and its not working )
EDIT: also, don't post this in dev forum. i answered nicely, but this is not the appropriate venue.
So why does it work for some and not for others
wait, so audio out still works fine but NOT the in-line mic?
sorry for the noob question, but i was going to flash obsidian later this evening, and i really need the 3.5 audio out. don't really care about using in-line mic headphones at all
thx
it doesn't. those for whom it works are those using headphones with a mic, those for whom it doesn't are using headphones or cable without mic.
well, crap

It is a kernel issue. We are looking into it.
The funny thing is when I first flashed obsidian v2 I attempted to try out the 3.5mm out thru my car speakers. I was listening to Pandora in my car, I received a call and I heard the caller thru my car speakers. But it has not worked since then. And all I'm using is an audio out cable attached to my Alpine head unit
This does not work on any Froyo Roms, because of the required external mic, but does anyone know of a 3.5mm adapter that has a jack for headphones as well as a inline mic? Would this work ?
EDIT:
Looking at the audio routing from this page: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioManager.html
it looks like some of it is deprecated, does this mean that it will never work?
int ROUTE_EARPIECE This constant is deprecated. Do not set audio routing directly, use setSpeakerphoneOn(), setBluetoothScoOn() methods instead.
int ROUTE_HEADSET This constant is deprecated. Do not set audio routing directly, use setSpeakerphoneOn(), setBluetoothScoOn() methods instead.
int ROUTE_SPEAKER This constant is deprecated. Do not set audio routing directly, use setSpeakerphoneOn(), setBluetoothScoOn() methods instead.

I see. Well I hope there's a solution soon, in the meantime keep up the great work u guys are doing for us.
I'm having a hard time understanding what everyone is saying is broken here...
I use a standard line out cable from my headphone jack into the analog aux input on my car stereo. I purchased a cheap extension cable that has the 3.5mm plug on one end and a mic/button at the other end that I plug the regular cable into. When I get a call, I pick up the mic on the cable and speak into it and I can hear the caller through my stereo and they can hear me just fine. This has always worked for 2.1 ROMS and so far has worked for three 2.2 ROMS I've tried.
Everyone is saying that the mic function is not working, but it's working fine for me.

It is working for you because of your extra external mic, it is confirmed a few post back that when using an external mic, it work fine but when using just a pair ear phones + internal mic (the one at the bottom of your phone), it fails to work. It used to work on 2.1 roms.
same thing here, went from fusion 1.1 to V4 Onyx...big pain in the ass out on the road today. Never wold have thought to check for that. I constantly have music going, ussually it will pause my mp3, and beep and show up the phone call, but now music plays, until I anwser and no go from the headphone jack.. I have mine hooked to an fm transmitter so i can take calls over car speakers.

Which cable are you using that has a built in mic? Should I look in my G1 / Mytouch boxes for an old one?

Ah. That makes more sense then - I thought people were using the mic built into the headset, not the actual phone.
d33dvb, the cable I use is similar to this one:
http://www.accessorygeeks.com/apple-iphone-maletofe-headset.html
It's an iPhone accessory, but works fine with the Vibrant. It's been a few months since I bought it, and don't remember where I got it, but I do know that I got two of them for less than 8 bucks.

Thanks man, I think I will hit the best buy and that will be my temp solution to running 2.2
This issue is the biggest reason I'm not running a 2.2 rom.
What's the quality of the mic like on that adapter cable? The mic built into the phone is really good, I was on a call one day and had only raised my voice a little, but the caller on the other end asked me to stop yelling. I was like "Umm... I'm not"

Haven't had any complaints and I talk to lots of different people using it.
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=390256615981
found this on ebay, think it might work?
I have been using a standard aux(3pole) cable with my Droid, Droid 2 and HTC Incredible, to connect it to my car speakers and listen to music. The nice part is all those phones did not turn off the mic on the phone. The thunderbolt turns off the mic so when I get a call I hear the person on the other line through my car speakers but he doesn't hear me(mic turns off). Any one know if it is possible to enable the phone mic to stay on? I am open to mods or roms, i just really need this to work.
Kinda frustrating because it works with my other phones.
This is very frustrating. As far as I know, there is no way around this yet. We'll have to wait for either an HTC software update or something Like CM7 to fix it. I wouldn't get my hopes up for HTC to fix it, since they are saying that the phone was designed to act like this. I think our best bet is to email HTC with the issue. They can't ignore ti if they are getting thousands of complaints about it... can they?
i hope cm7 will take car of it. I have cm6 running on the incredible and it works just fine.
Its a safety issue in my mind, it lets me drive hands free with just an aux cable. Instead of fiddling with it to make it work. This is the only thing that i dont like about the Thunderbolt.
this is extremely frustrating. I used to use that all the time on my OG droid and on my atrix.
totally lame! I hate to say it but I'm starting to miss my incredible.
here is a solution http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...49206&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2617wt_1141
I got 2 of these, 1 for each car and it works perfectly. Hope this helps.
Remember seeing a code snippet either on irc or twitter yesterday that looked like HTC hard coded the headset value into the software so it thinks anything plugged in has a mic.
When this happens I just hit the speaker button on the phone and the mic comes back on, not the best solution but at least something for now.
Just got off of the phone with an HTC Support Rep. He did some digging and discovered that this model has issues with headsets that have volume controls on them (e.g. iPhone headset). He had no idea for a fix, no other information available. I asked him to open a support ticket in my name, however. <== Anxiously awaiting to see if CM7 resolves this issue too.
Any news
has anyone heard anything more about this it is really annoying
I just can add that ZTE Blade (San Francisco), behaves the same way.
Right now on CM7.1 (2.3.7)
I'm already thinking about using an auxiliary cable with mic to connect the phone to my car as pointed out by vitsdroid.
I use the inline mic for my car setup so that I can answer a call which I am listening to music.
If its an important call then I switch to a wired heardset/mic which is alot quieter for the person on the other end of the call.
Found this in another thread...

Took me a while to find this (from teambamf forums)
Settings -> Call -> TTY -> TTY VCO
Works like a champ. I have a really good set of headphones I listen to music and audiobooks on. They're very durable and sound pretty good. First set I've had that lasted me more than 4-6 weeks. No inline microphone. Now I can just use the on-board mic.

Hi guys.
Is there any way to use phone calls with car aux?
I hear them, but they can't hear me.
I think when I connected it to aux, phone mic doesn't work.
Any idea?
Thanks
yes normally you can on other android phones. but the TB has a bug where the mic is getting disabled by accident. so a fix should come eventually.
Its not a bug. They designed it that way. Complain on their web site and hopefully they will realize their mistake.
Sent via bits and bytes
that's correcto mundo! the headphone jack has 3 channels on it (2 for stereo out and 1 for mic). as soon as you plug in an audio cable into the headphone jack input/mic is routed from there even if there is no mic channel present.
i recommend using a bluetooth speaker phone in your car.
There is a aux cable with a mic that works just fine. I picked one up at staples.
Actually one of the Rom's I installed on my phone fixed that. I believe it was Das BAMF 1.6.x that allowed people to hear me when my head phones were in. Not sure if you're rooted or not, but there are roms out there that fixed that problem.
All you need to do is accept (or make) the call and then click the speaker button, otherwise it's looking for a headset microphone.
you can put your phone on TTY VCO and it will work. settings >call>tty mode. you will have an extra icon at the top but it does the trick untill HTC fixes the issue.
Might be late on this but, i had the same issue until I flashed das bamf 1.6.3. Just went outside and checked and is working fine in the car and while using regular earbuds.

It works! Thanks
i'm on the BAMF 1.6 boat. never knew there was an issue until i read this thread. i have taken calls on my thunderbolt for awhile now using my phone in its dock. pretty slick. just wish the headphone out was a bit more powerful. not as loud as my og droid.
Music plays fine out of the wired headset...it always has. The headset has functioned properly until about two weeks ago. At that time, my Atrix began to think that I was pressing the headset button. Constantly. Over and over. Any time the screen is on with the headset in, it redials automatically. When the screen is off, it does it too, because when I turn the screen on, it gives me the vlingo vs. voice command box. Also, when I make a call with the headset plugged in, the other person can somehow not hear me at all, until they call me back, and it's fine. The phone thinks the headset button is being pressed once every few seconds. THIS IS INCREDIBLY ANNOYING.
I know it's not the headset, because I've tried three different headsets (two by Motorola, both the 'official' wired headsets of the Atrix, and one third-party), all with the same result. Also, it's not just my phone! Oddly enough, I replaced my Atrix with AT&T's warranty, and THE NEW PHONE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.
Has anyone else experienced this, or have the slightest clue what is going on? I've looked around the internet for weeks now and I haven't seen a single instance of it. Pleeeeease. This is brutal.
My headset with mic and button does not have any issues. Its the bose MIE2 mobile phone headset.
Yes I have experienced this as well and it is super annoying I will prob swap it out and hope I don't get another messed up one. Sometimes when I am in my car and connected to my bluetooth handsfree it'll do the same thing and start a song playing and I don't even push anything!!! Hope someone figures this one out.
theres defo something funny about the atrix headphone jack and remote controls.
At first my nexus one remote worked fine with it, but it started doing funny things, then flat out would go crazy (issuing commands without me touching it etc.)
Gave up and went wireless, now I only use wired @ the gyma dn they're just dumb headphones w/out remote
ME TOO!!
Yes, yes, and yes on having this problem. I use my headphones (SkullCandy FMJ) sometimes when riding my bike and yesterday all I kept hearing was "please say a command...did you say...I'm sorry please try again" over and over...hard to deal with at 70MPH!!! Hope this gets fixed, I thought it was my headphones, but it sounds like another GB issue. I don't have any problems when using my SENA SMH10 Bluetooth inside the helmet.
I had this same problem, mine got randomly solved. You could find how the wiring world for the Atrix and block that connection or cut off the controller on the headphone and solder your headphones back together.

Thanks for the feedback, but a)I'm not looking to do any soldering or rewiring (I'm good with software mods, but not hardware mods), and b) it never happened until recently, then I swapped out the phone for a new Atrix, and it happened right off the bat - again with all three headsets. Tried a bluetooth, worked fine, no problem.
I tried a new headset (skull candy something-or-other) and it's been working so far, inexplicably.
I made a voodoo doll of my Atrix and poked it a bunch of times in its little voodoo headphone jack. Seems to have done the trick. I'd recommend that method.
I have this problem too with my headphones from my Sony x1, or x10. I cant remember which one. But as soon as I plug them in the phone goes nuts!
Which really sucks because they are they best headset/ headphones I have ever used for my funny shaped ears.
I think mine fixed after I dropped it and the headphones came out Anyways as long as its resolved that's awesome.

i also started to experience this issues.At first i thought it is kernel or ROM issue but then after multiple test and experiment it is the Atrix 3.5mm headset jack is the culprit.If im not mistaken it is due to pressure contact sensor inside headphone jack.Please anyone know how to rectify this kind of problem do post your solutions for us.TQ

You bike at 70MPH? Holy.
so no one found a real fix or solution for this problem? Maybe we need to make a petition and submit to motorola
I had the same problem with a BB9700. It ended up being a damaged headphone jack. I figure some crap from my pocket had been in the jack when I plugged in the head set. Which jammed everything into it wrecking the receiving end of things.
Luckily I had a spare housing which came with a new jack. I'm not sure if it's as easy to replace on the Atrix since I haven't had the opportunity to tear it apart yet.
Power amp has settings that fix my controls and it works great.
