So I've been having problems with headphones and more accurately the headphone jack port. Some headphones just don't work with the phone but work just fine with others, I usually get that Google voice thing when I plug it in. Did LG use some cheep headphone jack here ?! Anyone getting the same issues ? Please let me know !

Hi!
I have this for some time: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846
(Actually, I baught it in a store so I'm not sure it's excatly the same but it looks the same)
Recently, I baught this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Headphone-HTC-VIVA-exclusive-Duragadget/dp/B001LIM8F0/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_2
When I plug the old one in my HTC Touch Cruise and then stereo headphones, to it's 3.5mm jack (without microphone), I can use phone's mic and plugged headphones to talk.
When I do the same with new one I can't use phone's mic. I can hear the other side through headphones but I can't be heard.
What might be a reason for this?
And can I fix this problem somehow so I don't have to unplug headphones each time I want to talk if I'm listening to the music?
Thank you very much in advance!
P.S. FM Radio works with both adapters.
there is no std for 3.5mm mini-jack with mic included
the org spc is only audio out
some headset makers add another ring which don't interfere with the
left, right and ground connectors
but there is no std they can follow
thumb rule is if mic is not mentioned in relation with the 3.5mm adaptor
mic is not supported as they use the pure audio out mini-jack std
thumb rule 2 is if mic is mentioned but it's not the same manufactures
in both end they may not implement mic in 3.5mm the same way and it will
only work with audio out
Thank you for your quick answer but I'm not sure you understood me.
I do not use external mic.
In first case I use 3in1 adapter and my stereo headphone with 3.5mm connector without microphone.
In second case I use this simple in-line adapter and same headphones.
In first case, during call, I can hear the other side through headphones, and the other side hears me through built-in-phone microphone.
In second case, during call, I can hear the other side through headphones, but other side can't hear me.
In both cases FM radio works well. I mention this because I saw that mic and FM antenna are on the same pin in USBext (if that's important since I don't use external mic)
about fm then all it needs is an antenna connected to to it
any stereo maybe even mono connected with a wire will do
heck you can cut off the airplugs from a cable and use it for fm
normaly when one connects a headset speaker and mic on the device itself
are muted
even if it's a headset without mic so cool that your fist case works at all
This first one adapter is original HTC. It has 2.5mm, 3.5mm, USBext for data and charging and USBext for headset connectors. And unfortunately it is too big for any other use except in car (to connect to car's audio aux input) or at home (to connect to home AV reciever).
So I baught this cheap simple in-line adapter. And it is suprisingly well built. And it works great as stereo adapter. Only problem is that it turns of microphone.
Anyhow I did some additional testing.
I tried SE Xperia X1 since it has built in 3.5mm connector. and it works like this first one. That means microphone works.
I also tried plugging this first adapter into my touch cruise and then plugging this second adapter into it's USBext for headset. The result is the same as if I plug second adapter directly into touch cruise. Microphone doesn't work.
Interesting thing is that in all cases (including Xperia) when I listen to the music with external headphones soudn comes only out of them. But when phone starts ringing sound comes from both headphones and from built-in-phone external speaker.
!!! Maybe the most important thing is that microphone doesn't work even if only second adapter is plugged into the phone, without headphones plugged in it.
Obviously this second non-HTC adapter doesn't work as HTC originally planned that kind of adapter to work and now I need a way to fix this.
It seems to me that this adapter is maybe stereo adapter with mic, but I don't have that kind of headset to try it. And if I had it I'm not sure it would be the right one since there's no standard for them.
As I see it when I plug in adapter phone somehow detects it and changes some registry key which mutes microphone.
Does anybody know what to change in registry so that phone doesn't mute microphone?
Or how can I see what changes in registry when I plug in the adapter?
Do you think if I manage to fix this, will that affect bluetooth headset also?
Thank you very much for any help!
I have an HTC Desire which has an issue with the headphone jack.
When playing tracks on Spotify app and using a 3,5mm to 3,5mm plug to plug to connect it to my car the tracks jump around all the time.
I assume that it has to do with the remote button connections on the HTC headphones.
I have seen on other forums people discussing this and reckon its the cable. It could well be as it is only a cheap one from somewhere like Maplin.
I was wondering if there is a utility to stop the remote connections if that is what is causing this.
Any help in any way is appreciated.
Thanks

Try an App called Headset blocker
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.idunnolol.headsetblocker
Had the same issue when I connected my speaker with subwoofer through the headphone jack. the speakers without the woofer worked fine.
I kinda figured that the power feedback from the woofer through the sound cable messes with the phone because I didnt encount this issue when I was using my bluetooth headset with the woofer and speakers.
Edit: the headset blocker sounds like a good solution to your problem, atleast its better than investing money in an bluetooth headset
Same problem here. I strongly doubt the cause of this problem is the cable.
I tried the stock cable, the iPhone cable and the cable which I use in my car, all three have the same issue.
I believe something is wrong with the headphone jack in my desire.
The remote controls on the stock cable don't work properly as well on my device.
Ey,so when I connect my heaphones the tablet reads them (they are connected) but no sound coming out of my headphones I tried different headphones but nothing I also checked for lint but the headphone jack is clean.It use to work perfectly, please help
Push the plug in more.
his right, I didn't realize you had to push the headphone in more. Almost returned it :3
When I plug in my headphones to the HTC, it acknowledges that they are plugged in as the headphone symbol shows up but no sound comes when I play a video or a game. These headphones came with the phone too. BUT when I use these same headphones on my iPhone it works perfectly, so I know something is wrong with the HTC, not the headphones. Other headphones also don't work on the HTC. Only the HTC's inbuilt speakers work but no sound from headphones. Do anyone know how to fix this problem?

Could be your headphone jack. It may be possible to replace it yourself, or pay someone to do it for you.
Headphone jack, probably worn out or has crap in it clogging it up. Mine is still working well with headphones but no dice with my car headphone to aux cable. The cable is probably outdated. I have 3rd party headphones that worked well at first but now the microphone is acting up during calls and boomsound "glitches" on and off now and again. Headphones are in good - very good condition but I can't rule out an internal break in the wire.
I would be inclined to say that the m9 has sensitive electronics attached to the headphone jack and any short circuits or voltage/amperage/resistance discrepancies would be picked up to protect the rest of the sound system. Headphone jacks tend to arc too which is why you get a thump in speakers when you connect or disconnect the jack.

Having real issue with calls when i use usbc cable convertor and 3.5mm headphone jack into car stereo for hands free calls. Basically everyone im speaking to complains they can hear there own voice echoing , I tried turning down volume of stereo so low i can barely hear them but they can still hear themselves echo , any ideas ? seems the microphone is way to sensitive ... i dont have this issue on speakerphone thou ... any ideas apprecaited ?
Hi
I can confirm that i face there same from time to time. I just unplug the headsets and replug them back and the echo goes away.
I think it depends on the quality of your headsets.
Annoying
Good luck
I have verified with the adapter of mine and two others with different headsets.The problem is with USB type c to 3.5mm adapter .As of now, issue can be resolved by software update.
the adaptor on mine is the one from google and i cant see that changing the 3.5mm cable is going to make a blind bit of difference . Hopefully software update solves this as its a pain in the ass :/
