Internal microphone muted when aux 3.5mm cable is plugged in - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

It used to work perfectly. When I am in the car, I use a cable to connect to car stereo auxiliar input. I used to be able to answer calls through the car stereo also so the internal microphone was working even with the cable plugged in. Since 4.2, it does not work anymore. Nobody can hear me when I take the call so I am force to use the phone`s speaker (you know it sucks).
Any idea why this has been happening? Any software change by Google in this version that stops this from working?
Thanks in advance for the help!!

Mine works fine 4.2.1 stock.. Did u do a factory reset since the update?

Yes I did because I was not able to turn on my bluetooth. The BT is now ok but the mic is still broken.
If yours work just fine, I really don't understand what is happening.

Just to let everyone know about the workaround for this problem that I figured out.
Using Tasker app, create a task that unmute the mic whenever you plug something to the headphone jack.
Thanks for the help.

Enable Microphone while using 3.5mm jack

Ive noticed that the microphone is being disabled when using my 3.5mm audio cable. Its easier for me to update my phone than it is my car stereo, so bluetooth is not an option. Id like to be able to be hands free while driving like my evo3d allows. I dont know of an option to enable it, anyone have any ideas?
When the cable is in, it seems the mic is disabled in all apps. Voice search wont work, phone wont work... Bummer!

[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

and havent found a solution....
did a search within the ET4G forums with the term "headset" and this is the best result..

Problem with 2 simultaneous bluetooth devices

I have been having a problem with using 2 bluetooth devices simultaneously and was wondering if there is a problem with my phone or bluetooth devices or if this is normal/expected.
I have bluetooth in my truck (2012 GMC 2500HD) that only works for phone calls. I also have a bluetooth adapter that I plug into the cigarette lighter for music. The adapter is capable of playing music and working for phone calls, but I have the headset profile turned off in my phone for that device so only the headphone profile connects.
On their own, each device works fine, but with both connected the vehicle bluetooth continuously connects and disconnects. Has anyone seen this before? How can I go about troubleshooting and fixing this so I can use both?
I have a stock GSM Nexus on 4.0.4.

In my Camry I use built in BT for phone calls and plug in a BlackBerry Gateway into AUX port to stream music. So 2 BT devices are connected at the same time.All is working well, meaning when music is playing and the phone call comes in, Nexus switches to the correct BT device. The only issue I'm having is that sometimes I have to manually connect to the Blackberry gateway.
Thanks for the reply. I was kind of afraid of that. Unfortunately it seems like it is the vehicle bluetooth that is the problem, the one that I really can't replace or do anything with.

Thanks for the feedback. I will do some testing with other bluetooth devices and my wife's iPhone to see if I can mount enough evidence to convince the dealer it is a problem with the truck and not my phone.

Bluetooth - not using BT Mic

Hi,
I've had A2DP working on my in-car audio for a while now - but it seems not to work with the mic anymore. It uses the phone mic instead of the headunit one.
Does anyone know if there's anything I can alter to force it to use the BT one, or is it likely ROM/Kernel/Radio specific?
FWIW I'm running the latest Modaco ROM with franco milestone 4.
Thanks
Make sure you have phone checked in the Bluetooth settings.

Yep, both phone and media are ticked.
I have been having the same issue ever since I upgraded to JB. When I make phone calls through my car stereo the sound comes out of the speakers fine but it wont use the stereo microphone it keeps using the phone mic.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?

I'm having a similar problem, my GN connects to my car (or my BT speaker or headset) and shows connected on both the device and the GN. But it doesn't use the device even if it appears it should. I'm just running the latest JB image, and everything worked fine yesterday. I've rebooted, I've unpaired, now I need some more suggestions!
Thanks in advance!

I reloaded the latest image of JB to my phone and now the BT is back to working correctly. I'm thinking the DockStation app for my Philips dock caused the issue, but can't confirm.

[Q] Headphone Jack issue?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has experienced this issue as Google shows. Has anyone found a fix to the stupid headphone jack not working thing. How if you use certain devices the phone will not output audio. Like the aux in my car or at my work? BT works fine. Headphones work fine its mainly aux. Unplugging the device and replugging it a few times will eventually solve the issue. the thing I think is funny. I plug my aux in and it shows the little aux symbol on my phone in the status bar. but as soon as I start Google Music, it goes away and disables the aux cable. obviously that is a software thing. Is anyone working on it?

Stupid lg it's always something with them so the best fix is to rub your aux cable.... Can't wait for cm but thank you for the threads
EDIT: tried soundabout, fixes issue at least for me thanks bfranklin!
settings:
Soundabout service > auto restart
Wired Headset Behavior > all checked but the last one

I run soundabout pro and never any issue with my aux out with any device I was plugged into
Soundabout only somewhat works for my headphones.. Powered headphones really confuse the crap out of this device.
