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"

I agree, the quality is amazing. I wish the source were out for 2.2 :/

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?
Just been listening to some music on my SIII and the left output is different to the right output.
The left doesn't have any bass and seems to lack range. The right sounds normal maybe a little more bass than my SII did. I've tried other headphones and its the same.
Has anyone noticed this? Can you test yours so I can work out if its a faulty phone or a software problem
Thanks in advance
Sounds like bad contact at one of the points inside the headphone jack. I'm pretty sure there would be a lot more threads about this if it were a general software or hardware issue. Take your unit back to where you bought it and get a replacement.

I was thinking that as well, I've just tried a 3rd pair and it seems to be similar. Maybe its down to the 3.5mm jack not seating correctly. I'll try the genuine Samsung ones when I get home and see how they are. If they aren't balance i'll exchange it.
I've just tried another SIII and its the same so I'm guessing the headphones I have don't sit correctly in the headphone socket?
I thought you said you'd tried other headphones? I'd be surprised if two sets of headphones wouldn't fit properly... unless they're the same brand, and have a weird jack design.
I do get bass and full range on both earbuds using the stock samsung headset, but it does sound different than using my mw600 over a2dp. But that's propably due to the worse dac on the latter.
From my tests though ditching the stock player in favor of poweramp, works wonders.

I did, one pair of Sony MDR-EX71 and the others were Jays One headphones. Weird one

If 2 SIII's do the same it's either the headphones i've used or the stock player so i'm not worried at the moment.
I've tried the Samsung headphones and they do the same, bluetooth headphones are fine. Surely 2 S3's can't having the same issue and no one else is having a problem?
When I use my headphones on my LG G5 there is very obvious hissing/static noise on the left side especially when there is heavy bass. Is anyone experiencing the same issue? I am using Bose QC25. Thanks for any help.
In the "The LG G5 Discussion Thread" someone reported that moving the headphone jack slightly disconnects the audio, and that this happened on two different phones. Not sure about hissing/static though, mine is in the mail so I hope it's just your unit :/
Sounds like it's your headphones to me. Make sure they're plugged in all the way

No issues on mine. Using House of Marley ear buds and the connection is satisfyingly positive with a definite click when the jack is fully inserted.

No issues with BT headphones.
Don't think that matters for quality as long as it connected and not far from the phone :/
My headphones are working fine. No problem from moving the headphones around, and they fit snugly.

+1, at first, the female jack locking device was too tight, so i didn't dare pushing the male headphone jack all the way in.
I just noticed now that i was plugging it incompletely. Now it's tight and safe. No disconnections anymore, and no hissing here.
You can check this link for rectifying your problem

honestly i fixed that car audio issue this way now:
otg → usb soundcard.
all i could dream for is a way to charge my g5 while using this.
you can literarily use any usb soundcard you like.
edit:
after applying lg's software update this problem vanished.
all clear and smooth now.
OK so I'm stumped. Got my new LG G5 and it's pretty sweet so far but I'm running into a very weird issue that's kinda hard to explain. Basically it boils down to my G5 not being able to play audio through a normal 1/8 inch headphone auxiliarie input connected to my car CD deck. Before I got this phone I was easily able to connect my old phone to my car's aux input with the same cable and worked just fine but not with the G5. I tried the same cable with other speakers and the G5 plays perfectly though anything else. Other phones play just fine through my car's aux input. Only the G5 seems to send a signal that's very faint and has a lot of static on top of it. It's very strange. I do a lot in audio production and can't explain this unless the G5 outputs some weird audio signal that's not compatible with certain aux inputs lol but that seems ridiculous...
for what it's worth
I noticed that my volume all around is much higher with the G5. My G3 was much less loud. Is it possible that the signal is too strong and the car deck is therefore producing too much distortion - have you tried just lowering the volume on the G5? I'm hardly an Audio expert, but my current settings are all practically on the first notch above 0 for most notifications whereas on the G3 they were all in the middle.
I have also noticed the volume on the G5 is quite loud. I have tried playing through the car speakers at a lower volume and unfortunately I get the same static and weak signal.
Strange thing for me is that it connects to my audio Bluetooth adapter when I am nowhere near the car. I had to plug the adapter into a lighter adapter that shut off when the car does to keep this from happening.
If I can't get this thing to work just plugged into my car system I'll have to buy a Chromecast Audio and plug that into my car decks aux input. I just don't understand why it works everywhere but my car's aux input.
i'm getting more static than music with my g5...might send it back to get another one since i doubt this is a software issue?

Do you get static on all external speakers you try? I only get static when connecting via aux input on my car stereo. All other speakers it works great!

your right, its only in my truck that i get that static noise. That is wierd af, so is this a hardware or software issue then?
So weird! I am glad someone else can attest to this happening! Really have no idea if it would be hardware or software at this point. The only thing I can think of is that the phone outputs a higher quality signal than my car stereo can handle? I have never encountered an issue like this before... I don't know what specifically could be making only car stereos not work with the G5. So weird...

Agreed. Now how to push this issue to the right people...

Ugh. OK. Now i gotta figure out how to get to my rear aux input. lol.
That did it. Pulled out my deck and connected to the back aux port just fine. So weird. At least there is a workaround. Thanks MF Doom!
Hi, the plug of my headphones that came with the phone was bent a few weeks ago and at first there was no problem. But after a while the audio stopped working in one of the earphones so i tried with a different set of headphones, just to discover that with them the audio is completely distorted. My guess is that the bent headphones damaged the inside of my phone's jack.
Does anyone knows how to fix the phone's jack?

what is your exact problem?? the audio came distorced or the audio jack dont play any sound trought it??
if they come distorced i belive you really damage your 3,5mm headphone jack, so the fix is to replace it (hope you dont damage the DAC too because they could happen).
- if one pair of headphones dont look good then you need to know to avoid use it, you now know that! i dont really know what the problem could be but, in worst case you damage the phone itself!

The problem is distorced audio (with good headphones)
And what do you mean by damaging the DAC?

V10 have a dedicated audio chip, if you get the sound distorced with the Hi-Fi option turned on maybe the DAC is damaged, if dont try to insert the headphones and turn on the hi-fi option in your quick toogles.
