[Q] Headphones and Microphone

Is there any way to stop the phone from recognizing things that are plugged to show as having a microphone? I have several headphones that do not have any headset controls or microphone but when there plugged in there recognized as headsets instead of just headphones.
If it didn't really change anything I wouldn't care but the problem is when it's like this, if there is a loud enough noise genius button opens and tries to pick it up and will sometimes make calls, open apps etc.
So I just want to know if there is a way to temporarily disable this somwhow

I was having this same problem.. make sure you are pushing the headphone jack ALL the way down

I gave that a shot and it still does the same thing.

Mic gets low for other side?

Hello, When I put the phone on speaker and or use a headset it lowers the voice for the other people. I can hear them fine both ways. It is just during headset or speaker phone calls. It works perfectly fine when talking normally through the phone. Hardware problem? I just noticed it, can I exchange it through sprint? Please advice! I am on 4.2.2 d3rp rom still on ZV8!

When you put it on speaker phone, it uses the secondary mic at the top of the phone instead of the normal mic at the bottom. If you look at the top of the phone there is the infrared port on one side and then a small hole on the other side. That small hole is for the secondary mic. Try talking into the top of the phone when on speaker phone and that should solve the problem. Headset issue I can't help you with. Each headset normally has a built in mic usually near the volume controls. Its probably bad or you're just not directing your voice into that mic or something.

I've tried to do that but still the other person can't hear me thank you for your input tho!

Microphone issue

Mi Max 32GB V8.1.4.0.MBCMIDI
The caller will not hear me, but when turn on the speakerphone, the caller hears me well. In the service menu microphone tests everything works.
When I record my voice recorder.app everything works well. NOT working only during a call, in Skype not working too. Maybe you know how to fix this problem. Maybe this is software bug ? or broke the microphone ?
p.s. Root installed

Still problem

Hello,
This may be because of Camera issue, there are two microphones in the phone, one is the upper one next to the Earphone Jack and one at the bottom next to Speaker. When we are making a movie from the camera in Landscape mode, phone is switching to the upper microphone, (this is a noise reduction microphone) and when we make a move in Portrait mode, this is switching back to the bottom mic, somehow, when are closing the camera from a Landscape mode, phone is not switching back the mic to the bottom one, and still set for the upper mic, causing a very low sound going out for the phone call, as we are speaking at the bottom and the mic is at the upper portion. When you are turning the speaker, the bottom microphone is turning on, hence the voice is clear at the other end. Try doing a little trick, switch on your camera, record a movie in PORTRAIT MODE for 2 to 3 second and close it. Now try again doing a call, to my understanding this will work, as this works for me. Please update if this works for you as well. Best Regards

THis landscape-portrait camera trick doesn't work on my phone.
My upper microphone works (noise reduction mic works in loudspeaker voice microphone mode). But bottom mic doesn't work. I replaced this mic, then i replaced bottom board and its flex. Nothing helps.
1.8V comes to the mic.

Q: Single fire speaker when using on-call speakerphone - Low volume

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue. When I'm on a call with the 2 XL, only the bottom speaker fires, and it's pretty low when compared to my original XL. I have to max out the volume and still listen carefully for it to be of use. If anyone here has a 2 XL and an original pixel, could you test this too and report back? Thanks!
P.S. The speakers sound great when using it for music, games, etc.

Bump.... I posted the similar issue on the Google forums without response.
I do a lot of conference calls daily and was excited that the device uses 2 front firing speakers. Was really looking forward to that for conference calls. Come to find out that the phone only uses the bottom speaker for speakerphone. Doesnt really make sense to me since anything else--youtube, google music, etc. takes advantage of both speakers.
Hoping Google will listen to this and turn both speakers on for Speakerphone!!

I'm sure there will be an audio mod that gets developed that enables this feature in the future

This is done because of proximity to the top microphone for feedback prevention. Unlike just listening, conference calls require a microphone.

So new to this topic aka 'issue' but I just realized this also that the top speaker was not firing when I am on speaker phone.
Just to confirm -this is an intended feature - true?
Both speakers to fire when playing music or videos out loud - true?

When playing video or listening to music there is no need for a microphone to be active. When you're in a conference call, the other person has to some how hear you and the phone app turns on your microphone. Because this microphone is so close to one of the speakers, it must be turned off so that sounds coming from it do not feed back to the microphone.

Its intended.
If the top speaker was to fire up as well,
The other party wont be able to hear you properly, since the sound from speaker itself will interfere too much for the mic next to it
Same situation will happen if you do video call. The phone will use top mic instead of bottom, since it assumed to receive your voice better that way

Wouldn't it make more sense for the top speaker to fire when in a speakerphone call then since the bottom speaker is so close to the microphone???

We've been asking for that for months

And there are mods backed into certain ROMs at this point. Problem is audio feedback and call distortion. It's not a fully functional mod at this point. Causes more harm than good.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just a little confused how this happen.
I am thinking, if you hold the phone up to your ear, the mic is located at the bottom, not top.
And if there is a mic at the top, during speaker call we should be able to turn that off.
What says you on this theory?

Hardware

Yes normal, the top mic is for noise cancelling only...
