Alright, my friend has a blackberry and when he's listening to music and his phone rings he can hear it ringing through the headphones. Not only that, he can answer the phone and hear the person in the headphones while talking to him. He basically holds the phone in front of his mouth and talks with his headphones in. Also he doesn't have a mic on his headphones.
I've always wondered if this was possible with the x10. When my phone rings and im listening to music my music stops but the phone rings out loud and not through the headphones. I tried to answer it and see if I could hear them through the headphones but I can't and the person who called can't hear me either unless I unplug them.
Is there any way to fix this so I can hear the person through the headphones and talk to them by talking into the phone?
Sorry if the post doesn't make any sense, I'm tired as hell, just got back from work.
Your head phones come with a mic, imo I think that's better than holding the phone to your mouth.

I understand that the default headphones come with a mic, but they never stayed in my ears, which is why I use my own in-ear headphones. I want to be able to use them to listen to the call tho.
But the default headphone cable that comes with the phone has a headphone jack to plug in any headset you want to it, and still have a mic?
I've fixed all my headset issues by buying a £10(roughly) wireless headset adapter off eBay. roughly 12-14 hrs battery life out it (so lasts about a week with moderate usage as I mostly use it in the car on 1-2 hr journeys and do them once or twice a week). Good buy!
Hi Hypercore,
We seem to have gotten our phones from the same place. The default headphones came with a removable mic. When I got mine, I had headphones (with a 2 contact TRS 3.5mm connector + a shorter wire with a microphone that sports a 3 contact TRRS connector).
Heres's the way the tips rings and sleeves work (I think... correct me if I'm wrong)
The headphones TRS
Tip: Left
Ring: Right
Sleeve: Ground
The "Mic TRRS jack"
Tip: Left
Ring1: Right
Ring2: Mic
Sleeve: Ground
So you need a TRRS connector that includes a mic + TRS Headphones or a set of TRRS headphones that include a mic built-in.
There are some pics on wikipedia, just search for TRS connector.
Hope this helps.
I know what you mean, the mic comes with the phone but when I hook my headphones up to it the wire is WAY too long.
Boohoo, just bundle it up a few times and put a rubber band around it keep that end in your pocket.
I just snipped the headphone's wires, slipped some shrink tubing, heat wires up with a lighter (to remove the "varnish/wax/stuff" they put on the copper wires these days), solder, slip the shrink on top, heat up one last time and voilà! Headphones with a short wire.
Hurray!
I have to admit that the mic wire + normal headphones make for a really long wire.
Hello,
I have a problem with my Galalxy S2, when I connect it to my car with AUX cable, I can hear sound only from the speakers in the driver side and behind him, and from the passanger speakers and behind him I cant hear anything. the speakers settings are 50/50, and if I will put 100% of the sound on the righ side, I wont hear anythin.
The AUX cable is 3.5mm on 2 sides, and has 2 black lines on each connector so it means that this is a stereo cable(it was taken from HP speakers).
Can someone please help me?
thank you.
I'm having trouble with my headphone jack. Audio only comes out if I start the sound on the speaker and then plug in. If I start with the headphones in I get nothing. Its odd. Running the new AOKP. Has been an issue since before that though. Not the usual static or tight jack problem.
So on my 3 month old Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro SE is having some problems with the headphone jack. For some reason, it behaves like there are always headphones connected to it. So If I don't have anything connected and try to play a sound, no sound is coming from the speaker. If I connect headphones or a stereo to the 3.5mm jack, they output sound just fine. I downloaded a app called Soundabout which let's me force the sound through the speakers, though I have to deactivate this everytime I want to use headphones. I have cleaned my jack with compressed air, needles and cotton pads with isopropanol, but it doesn't seem to do anything. If I look into the jack it looks super clean and not very worn at all. Could there be somekind of short circuit somewhere in the phone or in the jack? I am experiencing this issue on many different roms and so it's not software related.
I don¨t use my headphones very often with my phone but when I do I always have problems. Putting it all the way in, I only get sound from one headphone/speaker. Pulling it out and then in again and the phone speakers stars sounding. Rotating the headphone connector and pulling it out and putting it back in usually resolves the issue after a while. I have cleaned my jack with alcohol and compressed air but this doesn't seem to make any difference. And the headphone jack can't possible be worn. Anyone else had this problem?
I´m having the same issue, hopefully we´ll get some reply with a fix.
