Headphone mic problem - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

I can hear fine when my headphones are connected but the other person can't hear me. The same headphones works just fine on a different phone. I don't think there is a setting to check this. They were working fine recently. These are the stock that came with the phone. Anyone have am idea what's going on?

You might check to see if a piece of lint or something is in the headphone jack.

Thanks but I don't think that's the problem. I use a different one and it works fine.

Headphone Jack issues

Hey everyone just wanted to know if anyone else is having issues with their headphone Jack on the Vibrant? I plug in my headphones but I always have to fiddle with it to get them to work. I have tried multiple headphones to see if this was the problem yet every one I tried the same issue came up.

LMAO same thing happened to me when I first got it
My problem is a little different. I have skull candy headphones with a MIC and sometimes the music will turn on by itself and I'll have to turn it off via the button on the MIC. This happens quite often when it is loud around me or windy(while I am driving). Anyone have a clue why this happens?

low sound while calling

hello good day, was wondering if theres any application or modification I can do to my phone to get better calling sound,since every person Ive called with this phone has told me that they can barely hear me, only using the handsfree is when they can actually hear me

Try blowing thru the microphone hole. Hope this helps.
If not, look for a service center to repair this phone's microphone cause its really damaged.
thanks,for you advice,but found it was actually the software

Headphones

I just purchased the Optimus G and tried inserting Samsung 3.5 Mm earbuds into the phone. No audio came through unless I jammed the connector as far as I could into the phone. I just tried headphones from Jabra and Creative, and the same problem is present. It seems like the jack is not "clicking" when I try to connect the headphones. Does anyone else have this problem? Do I need some special headphones for this thing? I saw another thread that was similar, but the description was not quite the same.
Mine clicks in although it is tight.

Microphone issues?

I have consistent problems on speakerphone with people saying they can't hear me. I had a bear motion slim case on it but I'm not clear if that is creating any issues. Is there a hidden microphone anywhere that the case may be covering? Or do I need a warranty replacement?

It's weird, I've had certain people tell me this as well but others can hear me fine. Not sure what's going on, but I know that when I'm talking with someone who has trouble hearing me, if I put in my headphones it solves the problem. Maybe something to do with noise cancellation/echo reduction?
Do you have a case on or anything? I only have the issue on speakerphone.

my girlfriend constantly nags about it when shes on speakerphone that i sound like im far away idk what it is
Bump. I tested with skype audio test last night with no issues. I can't figure out if there is really an issue

Stop trying to find issues where there isn't. The speaker on this device is horrible, so who would actually persistently talk using it

That makes zero sense. Especially since I'm referring to the microphone

I get the same complaint. Not sure why. My case doesn't cover the microphone from what I can tell

I've been messing around with this more and it seems like the bottom mic on my device is really directional in the sense that it only seems to pick up audible sound when you talk right into it. It's definitely barely picking up anything when the phone is held normally as if for a call. The speakerphone mic seems to work fine.
EDIT: I finally took it back to the store and swapped it out for a new one. It was definitely a hardware issue as my new one sounds much better.
Same issue here and I'm not using a case.
On speakerphone only, I get complaints every single time that people can't hear me to the point where I have to switch back to handheld.
Noise reduction currently off but it's the same either way. Gonna pop into Tmobile on the way home and see what they say.
Anyone else get a warranty replacement?

Go into voice recorder and be sure the microphone setting is set to 'normal'.

For those who have a problem with this, I've been dealing with this issue since day 1. It seems to be a T-mobile problem and NOT a problem with the phone itself.
The software is set up as half-duplex and not full-duplex as it should.
That means that if the person on the other end of the line is talking or making noise and you start talking, they're not going to be able to hear you. I've tried this with my phone and a replacement phone. Same thing happened. That means that you will continuously cut in and out.
I'm currently talking to T-mobile and they have a ticket open with me to work with developers on the issue. I have no idea what happened but, as someone who uses speakerphone all the time, it's a MAJOR pain.
If anyone has more experience with this sort of issue, I'd love to hear it.
Hi Guys,
I'm having a problem along the same lines. I moved to Tmo a month or so ago when the S5 came out (ported from Sprint). The first couple of days I had great coverage but intermittently when I talked to someone, they'd tell me it sounded like I was in a tin can. At times it was hollow or echo-y. It kind of stopped, but then started up again. To me, everything sounds perfect. Now, randomly when I talk to someone, sometimes they can hear me without any problem, and sometimes they can barely understand me because of so much feedback coming through (even though I can hear them perfectly).
Tmo gave me a new sim card to use and said to wipe my cache to make sure everything was good. I did that and it worked great for about a day. Now, it's random again. I call land line and it sounds like I'm in a tin can and when they talk it's lots of feedback. I call friend on att and they have loads of feedback when they talk but perfectly fine on my end. I called someone on Tmo and had the HD appear on the call and it sounded like he was talking through a pillow.
It's so weird I can't figure out what's going on, but it's getting really annoying trying to talk to someone and end up calling them multiple times just to see if I can get a clear connection.
Bluetooth in my car seems to work perfectly for each end, though.
I'm on stock rom, rooted w/ philz recovery, and have not updated to the new ANES.
I don't use a case.
Wondering if that would help out.
Check this out might explain the mic issue

Noise canceling headphones show up as mic?

When I plug in the notice canceling headphones that came with my z2 it shows up as a mic and I cannot hear any audio through the headphones.
Is this just me?
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
it seems to only do this when using skype for me
other than that it seems to work 99% fine
Did you put your phone into water? Maybe there is still water inside preventing a 100% clear connection
Mine are working fine too
No water damage. I started getting this issue after upgrading to extenz 4.5 but I've tried downgrading but issue still persistents.
Funny this is if I insert the headphones then restart the phone then they work fine.

I had this same behavior. One of your 5 minijack pins in the phone might got damaged.
Try wiping data for SmartConnect just to be sure it's not a software issue.
hmm that sounds awkward
What Rom are you using now? which version?
Existenz 4.5 and custom kernel
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
I solved the issue.
It was a kernel problem.
AndroKernelPlus was causing the problem. I had to flash a stock kernel for my headphones to work again

Hi,
I have the same problem here. The earphone used to work as a charm but one day just stopped working and the mic signal is on when I plug the earphone in. I have already tried wiping Smart Connect and Restoring the phone to Factory Conditions through Sony Companion.
Really didn't want to contact Sony over this... Any ideas??
Cheers!
