[Q] Issues w/in line mic on headphones - Motorola Photon 4G

This is a problem I had wit the MoPho (love the nickname). I can't get the inline mic to pick up sound when Im on the phone and get noa response when trying to control music playback with apps like Winamp. I have some Apple Headphones and they did good with my EVO 4g but I get nothing with the MoPho. Tried to get help on Motorola forums but no avail. Anybody have this same problem or solution?

HTC has a similar headset jack as Apple, ditch the HTC and/or Apple headset, as those will not work.
Sorry,

PS - WE ALL LOVE THE NICKNAME, (now that's one bad MoPho!!!)

I solved it with an app.

Did you get the Apple iPhone earphones working with the Photon?? Please tell me what exactly you did! I installed the app but they still don't work I plug it in, and I get sound from the earphones but the mic does not work, nor does the buttons! They worked nicely on my EVO 4G but not with the Photon

That app didnt work for me either. I really would like to stick my phone in my pocket and talk. Im always holding it with headphones in. Disgusting

Anyone having problems with headsets with mics.?

On my and my son's phone; when are talking to someone, they are complaining they can't hear us properly when using wired headsets with microphone. I've used 4 different headsets, all with the same results. 2 of them were cheap ones, 1 of them was an expensive pair. All with the same results on both phones.
People complain that it sounds like we are far away.
I had my son call me on his SGS2 using the headsets and I listened on both a Blackberry I have, and an Iphone. What it sounds like is when you say a word, the entire word doesn't come through the other end. For example: If you say the word "Doghouse" it might come on the other end as "oghouse" or "ghouse."
Almost like the phone is not translating analogue voice to digital sounds quick enough or completely. This has been tried in several coverage areas so I know its not that.
The problem is with both phones. Each phone has a different case. The problem existed before and after rooting. (Happened right out of the package)
I've used both Entropy and Siyah kernels. Also tried the SGS_InCall_Volume_Fix.
Anyone else having this problem? Also, If not; then what wired headset with mic. are you using?
Thank You in Advance!
ATT I777
Unnamed 2.2.1
Siyah 2.6
I had the same issue with CM 7.1 nightly 11 and my Scoche headset (made for iPhone, unfortunately). Great headphones, but horrible sound quality. I haven't tried the same headset on my phone that's now running UnNamedROM 2.2.1. Probably the same result.
Is noise cancellation disabled? You might want to try that out, but CM 7 doesn't have noise cancellation anyways... If only we had access to the service menu... there are settings in there to change it.

I forgot to mention; I've tried with noise cancel on and off, and there was no difference. (Or noise suppression?)

Huh.. that is odd... I know how to fix it then, its a setting in the Service menu that changes the dB required to "activate" the microphone... but again, AT&T locked the Audio part of that menu...
I haven't had an issue..Use the Samsung headphones typically, and also some Skullcandy ones.
Yes. Same problem, with Hello Direct Ultralight headset. Audio output (mono, through the single ear speaker) is fine. Audio input via the microphone is not working. I'm using a 2.5 -> 3.5mm adapter but it has 3 conductors and probably is not the problem.
Phone has not been rooted... yet.
Any other suggestions appreciated...
Thanks

I use Bose MIE2 and also Klipsch S4A without any mic issue.

Nuance Voice Control for CM7DX2!

Moon Shadow - NM Presents to you: THE LONG AWAITED APP OF THE NUANCE VOICE COMMAND SUITE FOR CM7DX2!
This has been verified: THIS DOES NOT WORK WITH MIUI!
As with all of my mods, etc, you are responsible for what you do to your phone! DO A NANDROID BACKUP!
I was saddened by the fact that cm7dx2 did not have a good "echo back" voice control app. The default one works pretty good, but you still have to look at the screen.
For those of us who have used the Nuance Voice Command Suite from the stock DX2, know what a pleasure it is to use a voice control app that you don't have to look at the screen for. For me, this is one of those small, but critical things I would prefer to have on my phone.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get the stock DX2 Nuance app to work. It was freaking out because it was making a system call to a deprecated lock screen method (keyguard). Anyhow, I tried porting the default app to cm7dx2, but I wasn't having much luck. I then decided to search to see if anyone else had posted the Nuance app from another Verizon phone. I found one for the Pantech ADR8995 and thought, what the hell, I'll see if it installs... Well, what do you know, it did! Without errors! HOT DAMN!
Next was the big test... Let's see if it works... I launched the app and BINGO! It said, "Please wait..." Followed by the familiar, "Please say a command." SWEET! I checked a couple of commands and it seems to work just fine. I have briefly tested all the commands and they all work well for me. Enjoy!
[EDIT]
NEW INFORMATION! The echo back of voice confirmation DOES work. Just not over Bluetooth. I tried it on both my non A2DP bluetooth headset (a Plantronics Voyager Pro) and my A2DP headset (an Altec Lansing/Plantronics Backbeat 903).
When using Nuance over speaker, WITHOUT a bluetooth headset connected (paired and connected) to it, the echo back works just fine. This is also the case with SOME wired headsets with a mic.
[/EDIT]
[OLD EDIT]
I have found a problem. For me, it's not a big deal but it might be a deal breaker for others. I don't know how to fix it either (yet). Anyhow, The "echo back" of a contact name does not work. For me, that's okay; for you, I dunno. I'll keep working to try to fixit and will update this as I have information.
[/OLD EDIT]
Ciao!

Okay, are you using a bluetooth headset? Are you using a wired headset? If not, are you holding the phone like you are talking on it?
For that matter, does bluetooth work on Miui?
Ciao!
apparently i didnt stay stock long enough to find out what this is. so, would someone please explain what this mod does?

It's not really a mod. If you use a bluetooth headset frequently, like I do, and are in a state that has outlawed messing with your phone while driving (that should be common sense, but I guess some people don't have that), it's a PITA to be driving and having to look at your phone to see when the CM7 Voice Commands prompt is ready to accept a voice command. The Nuance app "talks back" to you. (Not in that way!) It provides voice prompts for your voice actions. For example:
I long press my BT headset button to launch it and it usually says, "Please wait." Followed by, "Please say a command."
I respond, "Call wife mobile."
Nuance responds, "Calling wife mobile."
And it dials the call, all without looking at my phone, or needing to pull it out.
Ciao!

When I tried it, I spoke into the microphone with no headset.
I do not know if Bt works on Miui as I do not own any wireless headsets. The only hands-free tech I use is the mic on my skullcandy headphones and those do work well.

Okay. When you launch it, do you hear either "Please wait." AND/or "Please say a command."?
Once you hear "Please say a command." wait about 1 second, then start talking. To test, I say "Check time."
If you are not even getting as far as hearing the voice prompt, then my guess is it doesn't work in Miui. Can another Miui user confirm this? Thanks!

I have a couple bluetooth headsets. I've never used this feature before though. Are all bluetooth headsets supported or do they have to be a special kind?

So no notification sounds through headphones?

What's up with that? Even with headphones plugged in the notification sounds go through the external speaker?
Silliness.
Buuuuuuump no one?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I would like to know the answer to this as well, my previous HTC when headphones are plugged in all sounds including notifications went through them, yet the S3 sends notifications to the external speaker, surely this is a bug?
It's absurd and not the only Samsung phone that does it. The thing that strikes me as odd is there aren't many people that seem to care about it. Google searches hardly brings up **** and this thread has gotten like 60 views but 1 response...which is you with the same question.
My Galaxy Nexus didn't have this problem. Annoying as fuc-
i'm guessing most people put their phones to silent while listening to music. that's what i do.

That's ok, but when your phone is in your pocket how do you know if you have a text/email unless you put it on vibrate?
On the top screen of your phone you will see a small i which stands for notification, i dont know whats it called but the settings menu on top of your phone drag it down and click notifications then the letter i will disappear now all notifications will alert you normally via sound like call and texts.

oops i meant i put it to vibrate. however if u do this there will be a slight pause in the music when a notification comes in(i think it only applies to certain functions like sms. whatsapp nofs dont pause my music)
I can't believe no one cares about this... I still want to hear my notifications over my headphones... Work email, personal email, specific ringtones for individual calls and texts... the list goes on. I've owned Mostly HTC, but even my Palm Pre and older Sanyo phones were smart enough to mute the external speaker when connecting headphones.
Bizarre.
I don't know if this has been explained prior to my response. Notifications work fine over blue tooth.

The issue was never Bluetooth. The problem is, you can have you headphones plugged in while sitting in the library, and if you get a notification, it will blast the entire room. Similarly, if you are in your car, the notifications don't make it to your aux port, and also, if you use the aux port, Bluetooth will not play the audio simultaneously. That's crap. On CM-based ROMs this works just fine. Definitely not a hardware issue. Sure sucks for people who use hands free kits in their cars
Same issue here with the external speaker not being muted when earphones plugged in, and unlike previous comments, issue persists when using bluetooth. Currently using Omega v32.1.
This problem affects my Galaxy Note 2 as well. Wow. How does no one else care about this? I don't understand why people would put their phone on silent just because they are listening to music. CM10 sort of fixed this issue on my GS3, but I can't use that on the gn2 because of all the custom stylus integration.
It's definitely an android thing and I can't believe that in almost 2 years since it's been logged, no traction appears to have been made.
Did a quick search through the developer forums to see if anyone has made a mod, but couldn't find anything. Does anyone know, if one the many talented developers on XDA, have done anything here?
EDIT: Turns out there is an app already out there to solve this, but interesting that it's not standard in the OS.

You could try SoundAbout, but as ScrapMaker states, it may cause issues with the sound cutting in/out using just the earpiece.
I wasn't going to try using it, but have over the last few days and it seems to work ok for me. Give it a go and see if it works (as I haven't been able to find anything else on the play store yet)...
I just got the galaxy note 2 yestersay and noticed the headphine issue today while working on the motorcycle. With the headohines on I can't hear the phone ring or notificationsn. what I hear instead is the music I'm listening to go mute the length of the ringing while anyone around me hears my ringing which comes off a little rude on my part and a bit annoying that it doesn't just ring through the headset.
I'm going over the settings and searching the Web like crazy but not finding an actual solution just work arounds about muting the ringer and/our putting it on vibe, neither of which is what I'm wanting or works for me.

How can I route Call sound to phone speaker

How can I route Call sound to phone speaker on cm7 without using any Paid apps.
My phones mic doesn't work and no mechanics were able to fix it. No HTC care or something is present in my city.
I am able to use my phone with headphone mic. Now I want to fix the problem headphone mic to my phone but only problem is I need the sounds to come out of the phone speaker/sbox.
Basically :
My phone need to do this:
Headphone mic for voice input.
BUT outputs call sound through phone speaker or sound box.
I only need it during phone calls but all time is okay too.
I'm rooted, s off on cm7.2 drowning child's kernel, on the Intruder(At&t)
Version of the now low end phone HTC Aria.
It has a room choice of cyanogenmod 6 and 7.2 official, cm9,10 custom ported. Have good knowledge of android but NO developer. Ready to do every thing except bricking my phone to achieve this.
How can I achieve this?
(I should have posted this on my devices forum but there's almost no one there except one or two kind hearted porters, so I am posting this as general android question)

So you are saying your internal microphone is broken, and you want to use an external mic but also use the internal speaker. Did you try using speakerphone at a low volume, maybe that would work for you.
