Headset question for cyanogen experts - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I got an odd thing here. Kind of dealable but not at the same time.
With the stock rom I was able to connect a 3 ring 3.5mm jack and it would not enable headset mode. It would just play sound through the headphones and the phones mic was used.
With cyanogen it doesn't seem to know the difference between 3 ring and 4 ring 3.5mm plugs. It disables the phone mic either way. Is there a setting I'm missing or will I just have to deal with not being able to use my AUX input on my car for phone calls?

Wow i have had this same problem with virtuous rom. I havnt tested it since a few updates ago. I will update if the problem still there

[Q] Headphone Issues

I use my Desire HD for music playback and when using headphones I have strange problems.
I have used 3 different pairs of headphones with this phone spread over about 10 ish months. Each pair have headphones have been standard stereo headphones with no mic or in-line controls. The issue I get is something when I plug the headphones in they are recognized in the notification bar as headphones with mic (signified by the little icon) and other times just plain headphones which they are.
If they are recognized as having a mic, randomly while listening the phone will pause the music and ring the last called person in my call history.
I have no idea why they do this but it only happens when they are recognized as having a mic (which I'm 100% sure they don't). To get round this I unplug and plug them back in until they are recognized as just stereo headphones. This works for an hour or so of music playback until it will randomly recognize them as having a mic again and start calling someone.
As you can imagine this is VERY annoying.
Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it?
Thanks in Advance.
I think I had this problem before. But it occurs when I use the stock htc handsfree. I could hear static noise and my phone will start to call the last called person. I don't know how I solved it, but i guess it is related with my jack-in or the snd3254 dspmode configuration. I'm not sure though.

I have never used the stock headphone since they sound pretty awful.
I do hope someone has a way of fixing this.

[Q] Bluetooth with Aux Cable

I saw that this had been asked once before, but no suitable answers were given unfortunately. On my old Evo, I could play music through my stereo via aux cable, and the phone would switch to Bluetooth for calls. This meant cutting the music, and transferring to both the mic and earpiece for audio omy bluetooth.
Currently, the audio on my ET4G doesn't transfer to the bluetooth headset, but instead comes out of my car speakers. Any workarounds to get the call pushed to Bluetooth when it comes in, or am I stuck just unplugging the 3.5 mm jack?
For your info, I'm currently rooted and running Starburst 1.98, although I'm willing to change that if it can help with the issue. Thanks!
I've been wondering about this too. Seems like you can still talk through the BT headset, but the person you are talking to comes through the speakers instead of the headset.
And I am still completely stock and not rooted BTW.

Hmm . . .audio still coming through speakers for me.
It works while i'm my car dock so I guess it won't work through the headphone jack

Handsfree Call with Headphone Out

Hi All.
One feature I loved with Cyanogenmod on my SGS2 and HTC Desire was the ability to make a hands-free call while using the headphone out socket to listen to music.
When a call came in the sound would be routed out the headphone socket to my headphones/car stereo and the internal microphone would switch to hands-free mode and pick up what I was saying.
With the Nexus however I can hear the other person fine but they cannot hear me at all.
Is this working for anyone? If not I hope the devs build this function into their custom ROMs.
Simple solution: just get something like this.

I guess that is a solution but it's annoying when every other Android phone I've used doesn't even require one and uses the internal speaker.

Headset audio jack disables bluetooth.

Anyone know how to get the headset jack to NOT.shut. down the bluetooth in phone calls? I play music through the jack when driving. If a call comes in, the call is following the earphone path and bluetooth wont work until it's unplugged.
Thanks.

Bump... anyone?
Anyone know of a rom where this doesn't happen?
I've experienced this same problem. Another irritating "feature" I experienced was when I was on a call on a headset, I went to get in my car and was expecting it to connect and switch to handsfree. I even unplugged my headset FIRST before starting the car. The car and phone wouldn't connect while the call was still going on. I had to wait until I ended my call before it would connect.
My old HTC EVO 4G would handle bluetooth switching like this so easily. Extremely frustrating that Samsung can't get it right.
From what I was able to gather via Google searches, this is a known issue and there doesn't seem to be any kind of fix. I don't think switching ROM's will help although you might want to look into CM9/10.1?

Headphone problems?

Hi, I hope someone can help. I've tried to start using my headphones. The problem I encounter is when someone phones me it rings through my headphones and my phone speaker as well. I thought it should just ring in my earpiece? The phone is stock and running jellybean. Thanks.

It is supposed to do that. E.g. you have your headphones plugged in, but you aren't wearing the headphones, you will still hear the ringtone through the speaker.
Check out my earlier thread about some AUX port and headset issues that I solved using a simple app.

In my case I'm using external speakers and mic, so when toggled, no sound at all from the phone.
