[Q] Headphone mic functionality problems - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I'm new to rooting and I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 T989 to Android version 4.1.2 jelly bean.
What I just recently found out is that the function of the headphone mic doesn't seem to work like it did when the phone wasn't rooted.
When I press on my mic's button during a call, it doesn't end the call like it did before the phone was rooted.
When i'm NOT in a call and I press the mic's button, it doesn't play music.
When I try using my headphone's mic while on the phone with someone, the person can't hear me. I know the headphone mic works because I tried it with a non-rooted phone.
Anybody have a solution to this issue?
Or has anybody else using this version of android run into the same issue?

[Q] In call microphone volume low

The microphone volume is very low on my dhd, people can barely hear me when I call them. The sound is also low when I use a voice recording app. When I plug in an external mic the sound is fine though.
I've been looking for a solution for this for a while, does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm running MIUI 1.5.20, but I had issues when I was using the stock ROM.
Yes i have this problem, often people complain they can't hear me any good.
However if i turn the phone with backside towards me they can hear fine so i guess it's a design fault that they place the microphone at the back, why?
Did anything ever come of this? It's just that I am experiencing the exact same issue

Galaxy Nexus - Mic only works on speakerphone

Hi
Since today my mic only works on calls when I have speakerphone turned on, well at least people can hear me a little when speakerphone is on. They cant hear be at all when its not on. I have played around with mute button when on a call with no luck.
OS Version: 4.1.1
Baseband: I9250XXLF1
Kernel: 3.0.31-g6fb96c9
Has this happened to anybody else?
Thanks
Brian
The mic has frustrated many of us!! Put it back to stock and call Verizon for a replacement. Make sure to back your phone up before anything else!!
I had it happen to me a few days ago.
Thought it was hardware related but then found that the mic worked on speaker phone.
Flashed back to stock JB.. no change
Flashed back to stock ICS and it worked again. With that the ICS updated to JB then I put CWM and back to CM10..
It has been fine for a few days except about 3 days ago I had an issue with the phone showing it was charging when it wasn't plugged in. Had to do a full wipe and start again. Now I am back on euroskank CM10 nightlies
I am on stock and I am in Ireland so phone is GSM version of phone
I have only got the OTA updates since I got phone and I didn't root it
I got JB update a few weeks ago and issue only started now
Is it possible that one mic is used for speakerphone and camcorder, and the other is used for standard voice calls?
See, I have the opposite problem... standard voice calls work fine, but speakerphone and camcorder record no sound. Lots of flashing alternative stock roms, with no change.
Is it possible the noise cancellation mic is used as the primary microphone for camcorder and speakerphone? I've heard that a speaker can also be used as a mic... is that being used? I'm considering replacing the flex cable with the standard mic and USB charging port, since the part is only about $6. Is the noise cancellation mic on a separate, cheap, easy to replace part as well?

Galaxy S3 - iPhone 5 Headset?

Hi. I want to know how to get the iphone 5 headset to work on my galaxy s3? I'm aware the volume control will never work but assumed everything else does. Some have said they have managed to get it working on their galaxy s3 either through specific software or ROM changes?
Right now I can make calls to other with the headset working perfectly, but when I receive calls from others I cannot hear them nor can they hear me. So the problem only occurs when I RECEIVE calls. The mic is really important to me.
Any help would be really appreciated.
OK. I've narrowed down the problem. The headset stops working when I press the middle button to receive calls. In other words, if I answer a call using the actual phone, the headset works fine. If I do press the middle button to receive a call, I can no longer hear the other person nor can they hear me through the headset.
Does anyone use the iphone 5 headset with the galaxy s3? Does the headset work for you?

The workaround I'm using now is to have auto-answering enabled while a headset is connected. Now i'm trying to find away to reject calls with a single click but after trying various apps I've not been able to do so.

How to set the auto-answer when using the headset ?

[Q] Xperia S earpiece not working during calls, sound comes from back of phone

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with my Xperia S that started manifesting itself a few days ago. Basically when I receive a call the sound doesn't come out of the earpiece but instead comes from the back of the phone, as if the loudspeaker was being used, but very quietly.
I don't believe this is a headphone issue as I've never used headphones on my Xperia S.
The earpiece works under normal phone conditions, e.g. Turning volume up on the home screen producer a bleep as normal.
Turning on loudspeaker during a conversation will basically make the sound already coming out the back of the phone go loud as is expected when activating the loudspeaker option.
Has anyone else ever experienced this or know of a fix?
I have already tried the 'plug headphones in and out repeatedly' fix which hasn't worked.
I don't think detecting the headphones being plugged in is the issue.
Any advice welcome!
Does anyone think this could be a software issue? Someone in the Sony Forums has recommended doing a repair on my phone, which just means flashing a firmware file to the phone. I can do that, but it doesn't seem like that would be the issue, would it?

hangouts dialer problems mic not working end call speaker not working

hangouts dialer problems mic not working end call speaker not working
Hi,
I have a couple android phones and hangouts dialer works just fine on my rooted htc evo 3d. The galaxy s3 sprint phone has problems with hangouts dialer that maybe some one can help me with.
The microphone is not working again. Last time I did an update it stopped working so I uninstalled and reinstalled and it started working again. Today it will not work again and I tried reinstalling the app but it did not work.
The speakerphone and end call button will not work on the galaxy s3 sprint phone. when I select these items it takes me back to the main dialer page showing an ongoing call. I can not hang up and I have to shutdown the phone to end call. If I have bluetooth connected these end call and speakerphone buttons will work though.
Does anyone know what the problem is with the galaxy s3 on hangouts dialer? Maybe I should just stick to HTC phones for now on?
Same problem here. Only fix so far is using a Touchwiz ROM. Lame. Hopefully someone fixes this. Stay vocal and talk to the devs. Ive been trying to sort this out all month. No one is of much help, honestly.
STAY VOCAL.

I have the same problem. No one can hear me when I call them on google hangouts with out bluetooth. If I used a wired headset they still cant hear me. They can only hear me if I use bluetooth

on the latest CM11 and 12.1 (unsupported) I found that it activates the microphone on the TOP of the phone, rather than at the bottom. Not sure how to swap it around. Had to go back to stock
