Hey guys, ever since I installed the almighty Cyanogen Mod 10 (which I LOVE) I've been having this strange issue. when I plug in my headphones (that also have a mic and a button on them) they work fine to play music, I can use the button to skip songs, etc.. and I can even use the mic for text input with my voice, but for some reason, as soon as I try to have a phone conversation with them they stop working.
Anybody else had that experience?

Well, I did not have this problem on KE1.
Basically, bluetooth/wired headsets work fine, when you are making a regular phone call.
The problem starts, when you try to use them through Skype - microphone does not work on them. Yep, neither wired's headset nor bluetooth microphone work when making Skype calls, phone's microphone is used by default in those cases.
Ironically, when using them I have to hold the phone near my face so that anyone can hear me...
Anyone else having this problem?
Wow, so I am the only one experiencing this or am I the only one using Skype with headsets? :/
Still have this problem on litghtening Rom 1.5...
Am I the only one wanting to use bluetooth/wired headset along with Skype and other non telephone apps???
So recently I bought an LG Optimus M from this guy on Craiglist. He used the phone for about 2 months, for basic things like calling, texting, and light web browsing. But suddenly one day the sound stopped working. I bought the phone for $30 since I want to use it as a wifi only device for music, apps, games, internet, and videos. The phone was on the default ROM with no user downloaded apps.
So when I got the phone, whenever I would adjust the ringer volume, the earpiece would start to make this weird hissing/vacuum noise. This would go on until the phone was restarted.
The speaker and mic don't work. Music and videos simply don't play any sound. Google voice search says no sound was heard. Using earphones (apple earphones with mic and remote) didn't help either, but I noticed the phone recognized when earphones were removed, by auto-pausing videos.
I thought it might be a kernel problem, so I rooted it and installed Cyanogen 7.1 (CM7). This didn't fix the problem.
After sometime though, I went to record a video. I opened it on the computer and noticed the sound recorded too o_o ! I then tested out my earphones, and well what do you know, they worked! Well, the left side was fine but the right side had really low volume. (they worked fine on other devices though). So something is weird about this phone.
After an hour the problem came back again. And I noticed something, there is a headset icon on the status bar, indicating that a headset is plugged in, yet I have nothing plugged in and no bluetooth devices connected.
Help? D: For the most part I at least want earphones to work on it ...
Hello guys,
I've been having this issue for a while now, whenever I use (or even open) a VoIP software (Skype, Viber, Textfree etc.), my headphones stop working and I can't hear anything through them if I play any video or audio. Weirdly, my headphones work when I make calls through those softwares but even after I quit them, I cannot get sound through my headphones until I restart the phone. Speakers work fine in any case.
I noticed it first on Cyanogenmod 4.2.2 but it has persisted through Liquidsmooth 4.3.1 and CarbonROM 4.3.1. I would appreciate any help on how to fix this annoying issue.
Thanks,
currently on AOSP 5.1.1 there is no volume at all, can't play music from music app or youtube or anywhere else, the problem started off with no volume when people try to call me (yes the ringer was on full volume and sound), after a few days the volume started to not work on facebook videos and youtube and other stuff, the phone speaker works so when i notice that someone does call me (vibrate works but don't really notice most calls) the speaker works i can hear the other person (mics not broken), loud speaker doesn't work, is the actual speaker broken? how do i go about a replacement if so, have looked a lot around the web and cannot find parts other than screen and digitizer. I have tried flashing the firmware with twrp and sp flashtool, formatting everything and tried different versions of firmwares and still the same not fixed, also tried custom roms... any suggestions?
I have flashed my phone to stock Android 5.1 as this is the only stable version and all is working well apart from the microphone. When I receive a call the ringtone occurs and i can hear the other person but they can't hear me. I also tested the mic on google but nothing happened.
However, I downloaded TestYourAndroid from Play store and the mic works so I know it's got to be a firmware issue.
Also I can record voice by recording app
If you can help me I would be most grateful.
Note. this is android 5.1 lollipop so it doesn't have full permissions mode, I can access permissions for downloaded app but not for system app such as "phone" is.
Hey guys, so I've had my pocophone for a while now, the phone works fine, although I have an issue. Whenever I call with someone, it seems like I'm far away from the microphone. I've tested the microphone using a microphone testing app, there I noticed that when I talk directly to the camera, it seems to pick up way more than when I try to talk on the bottom mic (the 6 dots on the left next to the usb input). So I've been wondering, why is it like this? And is there a way to fix this? I have to use an external mic (from my earphones) to be able to communicate clearly since it picks up that microphone instead, but I'd prefer it if I can just talk to the phone directly.
