I assume your headphone jack is going bad. Mine is doing the same thing. If I twist the headphones just a little they flicker and come in fine. It's super annoying.

It could also be the ROM you're using if it's Cm based. I had a problem with this once. My work around was simply just to use a different release of that ROM.

Have you tried cleaning the headphone jack? That can get dirty real fast. There are several how-tos around the Internet.

Bluetooth

I am using a plantronics voyager pro +, but can't seem to get a good connection with any rom. I used to get better performance with sense roms vs. ASOP roms, but now when I'm using my BT headset streaming music, it cuts in and out almost every 30-60 seconds. I tried reflashing Magnolia, and I am still having the issue. Is there anyone else having bluetooth issues, and is there any ROMS better at bluetooth performance?

I would say a stock sense or a rom based from stock would be a good bet. When the Bluetooth cuts out is the phone in your pocket or kind of far from the earpiece?

I was at the park today, and had the phone sitting on the ground next to me. It usually happens when its in my pocket.
I have the same problem with Bluetooth if its in my pocket that's why I asked. Occasionally it would happen when it was a few feet away but not often. A better Bluetooth device may make a difference though.

I've been happy with it. Got it off eBay for $40 lol. Had to disable it reading my texts to me though. That got on my nerves fast.

Motorola makes a pretty nice set of Bluetooth headphones that work great but they are like $80. I think they use a2dp which make them sound great with music.

I thought it was just me...doesn't matter what ROM i'm on music still cuts out. But it only does it if i'm walking, doesn't do it if I'm seated and listening to music.
I have 3 Bluetooth headsets that work perfect. At the gym I can leave my phone at a weight station and walk all over the gym listening to music. Using CM7 right now but the stock sense ROM worked fine too. Think I had to turn wifi off or I would get some dropouts. CM7 works better than sense with my car stereo.

I use bt on a set of lg bt ear buds at work all day and never have had any issues on any cm, cs, or ukb rom. I think if your having connection issues with Bluetooth it might be in the antenna not the rom, I've dropped my phone a lot and think most of my data and bt connection issues are a result, because if my data won't connect all I have to do is squeeze the bottom of the phone and poof ! magic lol.

Increase bluetooth volume and quality

Is there anyway to get louder bluetooth volume on a phone call and better quality.. I had the sammy victory 4g and volume was crazy loud and quality of sound was amazing for a cheap low end phone

I am using a blue parrot headset.
I'm using a Plantronics Voyager Legend and the volume does seem a little low even at maximum. It can be a bit staticy sometimes as well. Neither issue is so bad as to be annoying though. I had thought that the issue was with the Plantronics, but I suppose it's just as likely that the problem is with the Note. I haven't searched for a solution yet.

I have tried my headset with my wifes gs3 and my old phone photon and it is crazy louder with those phones, then I connect if back to my note2 and the voice prompt and commands are loud but when on a phone call isnt nearly as loud....

Silly question...but did you turn it up? I think there is a setting that adjusts in call volume to a lower level by default
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I've seen the same thing. Its a software thing because on Jellybomb 5.1 the volume us definitely louder but still not loud enough. My same BT headset was much louder on my Evo and is much louder on my WP7.

Ya I just wish I was smart enough to figure it out I have tried multiple Bluetooth headsets and all them get quiet when you start taking but use thm on other phones and are louder
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Any super smart developer that can figure this out there has to tweaks somewhere to increase the max volume
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I would Definitely say its a problem with the note. The volume is way low on a call. I use a Moto hx550 and my GS3 worked great with it.
I have been following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931970
and tried the tweaks by editing manually, but it didnt help bluetooth volume. So I'm either not tweking the right volume values or there will have to be another solution found. Its frustrating, but hopefully something will come out of one of these threads...
I have an issue with my Note 2 Bluetooth quality as well. Using Motorola Elite Silver. Seems to be perfectly fine with playing music and as soon as I initiate a call the quality degrades their voice breaks up as well as mine. Works fine with other devices, currently have tried on a couple different ones in the Sprint store I work at.
Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

What rom/kernel are you running? If its a tw rom with a compatible kernel you could try STweaks.
It has an option to increase standard volume limits.

Hmmm, its got to be rom related then. If your headset works fine on a different phone, then thats all thats left. There is one last option for you
I use a jawbone icon I got fron ebay.
What really made the difference for me...jabra ear gels. They look crazy! But they hold inside the ear without a hook. An it tunnels the sound dramatically. $6 for a full set left and right.
Honestly bud, this made night and day difference! Sadly their not available in any store anymore. But online everywhere!
If sound is this much an issue for you. I would say the $6 is worth a try.

There should really be a VLC-like setting on all ROMs that allows you to go above 100% on bluetooth volume if you choose to.

Wired headset in line Mic problems?

I have two sets of headsets. Both are Skullcandy but different models. They both worked on my Galaxy Nexus & Evo LTE.
The sound works fine. The Mic doesn't. Plus, if they are plugged into the phone and someone calls I can hear them. They cannot hear me through the phone or Mic because it disables the phones mic when they are plugged in.
The headset Mic works for recording sound with apps off the market. The only time the Mic doesn't work is for phone calls.
Is there a fix? Does anyone else have this problem? The phone didn't come with a headset in the box so if LG has done proprietary headset stuff they didn't have a way to eleviate it.
Thanks

I have skull candy ear buds I'm sure basically the same set and while I don't have the exact problem, they are problematic. They pick up so much background noise it's near impossible to hear me.
I too am interested in a fix for this.

Hold down the center button on the headphone while you plug it into the phone.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Well, that sure did the trick. How the hell did you figure that out? For two months I have been have headset issues that no one could help with.
I wonder why holding the button fixes it?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I had the same issue, and through multiple trials and errors, I finally got it to work. However, what's weird is that I have to do this trick for some phones, but not others like my Epic 4G.

never in my life would I have thought to do this. ever.
Thanks for the tip!:laugh:
There is a known issue with headsets designed for apple products where the mic doesn't work. I had the same issue with mine using iPhone 5 earphones. I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software limitation, or if they plan on fixing it. As soon as I find out, I'll be sure to post it.
I can confirm that holding down the center button on the headphones works for Bose MIE2i as well. Awesome!

[Q] Earpiece not working, volume tweaking!

Well I noticed that my earpiece quit working on the N2 today and my volume goes down all on its own... any ideas? It was dropped bu only like 18". Its taken many falls in the past with no problems...
[EDIT]
SO, I am not so sure its a fall thing... It fell at about 2pm and I have made and received calls SINCE then just fine... It's degenerative. Examples: First, I could not hear out of the handset earpiece... but people could hear me. Now, a few hours later, they can also NOT hear me which indicates the phones mic is not working... IF I turn on Speaker Phone, it works fine and I can communicate just great with anyone/everyone... also works with my car hooked up to Bluetooth just fine... So, could the Tweaked ROM I am running be screwing with something? Should I just try to flash another ROM and see what happens? I have already tried the last modem and the newest modem, both which had no effect on the situation... Any info would be greatly appreciated!
I would try another ROM to see because I am having somewhat similar issues with no drops at all. I had this in TOUCHWIZ and it was bad. But when I switched to PAC-rom I have different volume issues. Certain (newer I believe) headphones play either double out the phones as well as my integrated speaker and once I had the volume phreak out going up and down inadvertently.
I just love my ROM sooo much that I am dealing with it for now. PAC-rom 4.3 JB nightly updates on Galaxy note 2.

Internal Mic mutes with aux cable plugged in

I just picked the phone up and like it so far. However, when I plug my aux cable into it to play my music and calls through my car stereo, the microphone mutes. I'm coming from a Note ll from t-mo and didn't have this issue. The cable is a high quality monster.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know this has been an issue of some sort or another for others but I haven't been able to find a fix so far, and I've run out of ideas.
Thank you everyone.

Idk if it's just me but I've always seen this functionality be the case. I am fairly certain it was the case with my note 2 (tmobile) and definitely the case with my s3 (tmobile).

Not sure if I follow correctly, but I use my Note 3 (and did use my Note 2 as well as my previous Galaxy S's) often just plugged into my car stereo with a regular mini-jack AUX cable and the microphone seems to work just fine, since people can hear me without a problem.
As it turns out, that wasn't my only sound issue a couple of days later. My phone also decided it would mute the system volume and lock the slider for some unknown reason. I used a Samsung tech support chat and had to wipe the cache in the system recovery menu. Both issues seem to be solved for now. Thank you for your help. xda is an invaluable resource.
