as the title states, I have connected the two devices and for some reason i couldn't hear the person i am talking with. But the person i called can here me loud and clear.
Troubleshooting done...
1. Connected an iphone4 and it does work. That means the TX/RX of my car stereo is working properly.
2. I then tried connecting my GS3 to a different bluetooth speaker, it is working proplerly. Making calls and streaming audio.
What should i consider looking for to find a fix? My doubts are the compatibility of the bluetooth. If it is, is it possible to fix it?
Thanks
I have a similar issue on my pioneer 80prs and eclipse mkii 7200 where tli hear them but they can't hear me... My phone mic gets used as the input method instead of my decks mic.... Never solves it and it only started doing this once I got to jelly bean back on my galaxy nexus

I see. Well i have tried loading a different rom thinking that was the case and sadly still does the same thing. The only weird part was i can hear all the touch sound on the phone thru the car's speakers but when call/music is initiated you can't hear nothing.
I have found a solution by selling the HU and getting a new one. This time i will be asking the seller if it is compatible or not.
I got a brand new pair of earbuds (Brainwavz Delta something) and plugged them into my HTC 10.. they work fine for a bit then if I move the phone just right (or sometimes do nothing) the music stops, there's no longer a headphone icon in the status bar, and I have to unplug and plug them back in.. any idea what this may be caused by?
My Xiaomi Piston 3s worked fine with it, they just died in one ear :/
Edit** the headphones work fine with my Nexus 7, so it's not an issue of compatibility... unless the fact that it's a 3-ring plug (which should be fine, so were the pistons)
Same issue with headphone jack
I was using a pair of Fischer Audio Consonance Pro IEM's on my M8 and now 10 and experiencing the same issues. Songs skipping all over the place, starting, pausing, the OK Google app starting up and saying it couldn't hear what I said, or picking up something from what I am listening to. It is maddening. I love this phone so far, but this issue will drive me crazy if I can't be easily fixed.
It's as if the jack/plug is coming loose, since it fails to recognize the headphones until I unplug it and replug. It's very annoying, and seems to happen only if I tip the phone just the right way :/ hope it's not a hardware defect...
I have a feeling this is because of the edges, if you look at the headphones Jack it isn't flush the edge goes in a little thus you don't get 100% covered 3.5m lead.
Does seem worse in some headphones though

Not really, the best way would be to get a very small 3.5m extension cable, one that isn't so sensitive,but you would only find out through trial and error. Or buy another set of headphones. For example my bose qc25 aren't to bad but a cheap sony set I have if I move abit they crackle.
Is the one bit of design htc messed up. If they would of moved it a few mm to the front and problem solved.
Surprised more people aren't moaning about it as one big points is the 24 bit audio.
Can we confirm that this is an issue across all HTC 10's and not just an unlucky few? I thought my phone might've been defected. 2 Beats headphones I have (got both as gifts) do not seem to work properly. But if I use other a plantronics headset I have, works just dandy. I'm afraid to buy any headphones not knowing which would or wouldn't work. This is not a good thing at all.
I have a Sol republic headphone with mic integrated and doesn't work properly on mine either. However, a friend of mine has a sol republic headphone too, and it works. I bought a panasonic tcm 125 and it works really well.. so IDK, I'm going to change the cable on my sol rep to see if that fix the problem.
Might be headphones with integrated control/mic which has the extra ring :/
Question: when does the issue happen for everyone else? Mine almost always acts up when I turn the screen off, maybe that has something to do with it
I can confirm this is NOT a wide spread issue, I even dropped my phone, not low enough to hang on the cord but enough movement to yank on it, I have messed with it, played around to see if I can make it have an issue, but no issue exists, its either an unlucky few or your headphones.
The only issue I have not related to this is my headphones I tested, the "Audio Technica ATH-M50" jack is too big to fit in the headphone jack while my phone has its case on (Spigen Neo Hybrid Crystal), taking the case off solves it, just barely not big enough cut out on the case for that model of headphones, regardless they don't sound as good as my IEM's so F em! lol
Have you guys tried other headphones or AUX cords? I don't have this issue anywhere, not via Headphones, not at my work on are speaker system, and not in my car via AUX.
So the actual shape or design of the headphone jack it self is NOT flawed like I noticed some have speculated.
I've been using my m50x or bose qc20's. Both work fine with no issues.
Pretty sure it's headphones with integrated controls for Apple devices that don't work. My jbl reflects which I use for running (3 rings) don't work if pushed all the way in. But my bose sound true work just fine. And the bose just so happen to be made for samsung and android devices. If I had some apple earpods around I'd test it but I'm thinking it's just headphones with integrated controls exclusively for Apple that might have issues.

Wish that were the case.. mine are specifically Android remote headphones :/
Experiencing similar issues with my Sennheiser Urbanite XL headphones. Seemingly random moments where the headphones seem to just disconnect with the slightest movement (or non-movement).

Hmmm you're right. My sisters htc 10 seemingly all headphones just do not to work. Might be a small batch issue. I'm thinking about exchanging out for another one because I have the yellow band issue on the bottom of the screen anyways. Really don't want to play the exchange game like I did with the nexus 6p especially since HTC doesn't have the same support Google does. Gonna exchange if I get a bad one twice I'm just returning this phone all together. Hate to see it go because this phone is gorgeous.

Ah I have the unlocked model and I modded it to use on Verizon. I had no problem replacing phones through verizon though. Switched out my s6 edge 4 times for free due to display and speaker issues. Of course you end up getting their certified like new device which may or may not bother you. But if it doesn't you can just go to a corporate store and show them some headphones won't work. Most likely they'll ship you one free of charge.

I'm not a huge fan of Verizon anyway.. parents are just too afraid to lose the coverage (T-Mobile is top of my list but they're not so convinced)
I accidentally whacked my headphone jack very lightly with the tip of my finger and now my headphones seem to randomly disconnect. It works fine with my aux cable, but with my headphones with a mic it seems this happens.
Hi.
The headphone audio is noisy on my Gemini. Lots of electronic noise and chirrups when typing etc. Sounds like a Raspberry Pi rather than a $500 device.
Seems to stop when actually playing audio, but quite annoying. I guess there's no output filter.
Anyone else getting this?
Pretty awesome device otherwise!
Yes. I have exactly the same issue
I'm beginning to be less and less impressed with this little gadget. I also have a screen protector that looks like it's been slapped on by a five year old. Possibly I'm lucky as I suspect earlier releases didn't come with a screen protector.
I appreciate that it's new and there are some quirks to be ironed out but something as basic as sound interference should have been resolved right at the start.

I've suggested they come up with a firmware mod to mute the channel when it's not being used. It's very distracting when you've got headphones in without music or video playing.
I don't think the screen protector is supposed to be kept on. I would think it's just there as protection during shipping. I had a right job getting it off though - it should have a little tab.
I've other little niggles. Initially it wouldn't turn on reliably. I was advised to disassemble the ESC key (very easy) and when I did, I found a brown substance (most likely flux) gumming it up. Same with my E and A keys. QC does seem to be lacking. I absolutely detest on-screen keyboards, so the Gemini is the answer to my prayers on this front. So I'm glad my keyboard issues were easily sorted.
Planet's support has been good. Very fast responses so far. Although, I guess not many people have received theirs yet!
One other thing I'm finding is the poor landscape testing applied to Android apps. Even some well established apps misbehave quite badly in landscape mode. I've been quite shocked! Hopefully they'll get an Ubuntu port out soon so I can ditch Android.
You've raised some interesting points. I agree on build quality but am happy to give a fair amount of latitude to this as it's new and British and being a Brit I am walking that fine line between putting up with the quirks and disappointments of an otherwise excellent device or returning it and then probably having to do battle with the returns department for what is possibly relatively minor issues in the great scheme of things. But we do like our toys to be all shiny and new and perfect don't we.
On the screen protector front, I sent them an email at the end of last week not asking to return it but just for some more screen protectors so that I can replace the one that was slapped on. Got a reply essentially telling me to go forth and multiply but the reference did appear to be to a screen protector rather than packaging. But you're making me wonder now! Is it a packaging protector or something for longer term use. I tried to pick a corner of it off but just as you say it didn't want to shift so I left it.
I'm of the Sinclair era (just!), so very forgiving with British tech
I really want this to work and be a success. I've already had a number of admiring "Wow, cool. What the heck is that?" comments.
Oh yes! Remember those. Still got a ZX81 but cut my teeth on a BBC Micro. Now freshly retired I owe a huge debt of thanks to that machine. My Psions through the years were also excellent. But on that point it will be interesting to see how cable joining the screen and keyboard holds up after a year or two on our Geminis. My Psion 3 died with a busted cable (fatigue) after two years. I replaced it (cos my eyesight was up to it then ) and that one also lasted two years. I'm wondering how our Gemins will fare. As a phone as well as a PDA it's going to get a lot more use opening and shutting.
But with the help of a good pair of glasses I'll give it a go. Like you I really want this to succeed. Sure, I have selfish reasons. I can buy v2 when it comes out but wouldn't it be nice to see this tried and tested design come back. Maybe it's niche, maybe it's just for the techies among us (forgive me, making assumptions here ) but I voted with my wallet and I really hope it works out for them.
I've had a response from Planet:
"I am happy to hear you addressed the issue with keys, that's a rather strange one I've never observed before. As for the static noise from the audio jack, I will be escalating this to an engineer later today and I hope there will be a fix available soon."
Let's see what happens.
Just received my (WIFI only) device and the same problem.
Even left a message at Indiegogo.
Has there been any progress with this issue?
Has anybody tried a ground loop noise isolator to fix that issue?
I have ordered one from Amazon to try and see if it solves the problem.
Will report back when I get it.

Fingers crossed, but I suspect it won't as (for me at any rate) the interference goes away completely when music is being played. No interference at all even in quiet bits. Also don't have a difference if the device is plugged in to charge or not. I'm hoping it will be a software fix. Worried it's a firmware issue...
Well, that didn't help at all.
I also tried two different usb c to 3.5mm adapters with disappointing results.
Tried db Magix ac3 (lots of crackling popping, caused Gemini to freeze and restart once, a cheap noname 10$ converter (no sound coming out of it at all).
I wonder whether there is such a thing as bluetooth device that acts as headphones, but instead just has 3.5 jack so I can plug headphones of my own.
Is anyone using this with good headphones? The noise is worrying. Does it completely disappear during playback? E.g. when playing a track of silence, can anyone detect any noise on sensitive heaphones?
Evidence is the headphone output is just poor, and noisy both when audio is playing and when it is not.
See https://github.com/evadne/gemini-notes
A combination of hardware (usb dac) and software alterations are needed to get acceptable audio on the Gemini PDA.
Unfortunate that they used a poor headphone output chip.
I have just tried listening to Amazon Music via two different headphones and when songs start or end quietly the hiss (and slight crackle) is not evident. As the song stops and before the next one starts the noise returns. This would indicate a fixable driver or software issue, it looks like the output does not output silence when no audio is playing, making the audio headphone amp "floating" and therefore noisy.
After a RMA, I received a replacement Pixel 2 XL and noticed the speakers sound different. The bottom (right) speaker has more bass whilst the top (left) speaker lacks it. This is noticeable all the time for me. When I cover the speakers with my thumbs to identify the issue more, the top speaker sounds very different for vocals, drums and guitars. I'm not sure if this is normal for this phone as my RMA was for another issue with the top speaker so I am wondering if this is normal. I have read people saying the top speaker is quieter and a few with this issue but I'm wondering if it's an issue that can be resolved through another RMA or if it's normal.
It would help if people with Pixel 2 XL's test their phone speakers to see if they experience what I do. A good left right speaker test is https://youtu.be/hTvJoYnpeRQ and when you rotate your phone, the left and right speakers should flip and the audio saying left should have more bass as the phone flips the channels. It would also be nice if you would check with music to see more clearly.
All in all, should the speakers sound different or should they sound the same?
Thanks.
Wow never noticed that before yes the bottom speaker has more bass but both sound good. Probably an equalizer thing top is set for best speaking quality.

I think they're supposed to be that way. Mine does the same thing, unless be both have bad ones lol.
My one does the same thing - I was aware of it but your link made it pretty noticeable though. I don't use the speakers often so not a big deal for me.
Thanks for the help guys. Funny how no review channels talk about this.
I may be wrong, but I believe the bottom speaker is slightly larger. I recall seeing that on a teardown video/article.
My USB adapter
Long ago my pixel speakers worked just fine until one day I decided to play some music,and plugged and unplugged my usb adaptader and after that my speakers got damaged, I've tried hard reset and the problem still remains till this day.
Is anyone else getting an audio crackle when tapping the mic icon for voice typing? I remember this was fixed through software on my Pixel 2xl years back. It basically pops, sounds like it's clipping. VERY annoying.
Great...
Google still can't provide proper speaker and mic since Nexus 4. How many years has it been now they been providing worst audio and mic performance?

Did a factory reset to see. The microphone in google own messaging app didn't seem to crackle, but through Textra it did.
No crackle for me even on max volume.
What I did notice is that the stereo speaks are imbalanced in terms of volume. The selfie camera side speaker sounds way more "muted" than the charger side speaker.

Agreed. MAYBE the volume levels are the same on both sides, but the selfie side definitely SOUNDS different. I also dislike the way notifications sound. It sounds like it's coming from the back of the phone going away from me, making it sound like it's coming from a different phone a couple feet away from me.

Audio balance has always been an issue with Pixel phones, although they made a change to the series 5 which boosted the ear piece one was called adpative sound, maybe it works as well for 6

Have you actually got the phone? All I've seen you do is comment after comment about how rubbish it is but nothing from you directly?
If you hate it so much don't get one.
No crackle for me. I use the mic often and play podcasts through the speakers of the day. The speakers are good, clear and can get loud if ineed them to.
The popping/crackling sound is happening on my pixel 6 non-pro model. If sound is playing and I either type or move around to different screens this happens. Looks like I am returning it.
So far I've only noticed pixel 6 pro speakers crackling playing genshin impact, easily heard on the main menu, but so far only noticed it in that specific title. Not while playing music or other games. So I'm hoping it's software related and I don't have defective hardware.
No crackle so far, just rocken Music.

Too late, returned the phone and earbuds. Between this, the lousy fingerprint reader and the phone randomly calling people, I am done.

I dont get how people get so many issues with phones lol... I've never had problems with any of my phones and I've had many...
My FP works 100% of the time, it is just a bit slower than the rest, but even then, just barely. I have a S21 Ultra in front of me right now and after testing both, I can definitely say that the S21 Ultra is a bit faster, the Pixel one is actually more accurate. I would prefer to have it in the back like previous models.
Having said that, if I did have those issues you described I would return it too.
I feel like it's a software thing, honestly. Because when i first setup myh device before I downloaded all the updates, there wasn't any audtio crackle at high/max volume. After I downloaded the updates, it's there slightly.
I don't have crackling or distortion, but I'm getting a good deal of sibilance from both speakers. Here is a definition of sibilance.
Sibilance
I listen to a lot of YouTube podcasts and videos and this is driving me crazy. I wanted to see if anyone else is having this problem before I see about returning the phone. Adaptive sound and balance control makes no difference.
I have a 6 Pro and have noticed crackling from bottom speaker since purchase when turning speaker on during phone calls. For me I otherwise really like the phone. I will be doing a repair or exchange once more phones become available.
I got my replacement brand new 6 pro, and now this one has distorted and crackling sound from the earpiece speaker. When i press the middle part of the screen anywhere.
I have turned off the adaptive audio, and I can hear the balance over blutooth changing. With one headset when listening to a mono podcast, you can hear the audio balance shifting randomly around.
With another bluetooth headset (my hearing aids), the balance starts out biased to the right, but the longer you listen the more it drifts to the left. Stopping and starting the audio stream immediately corrects it.
What is going on -- I have had every OnePlus Pro model since the 6, never had any issue like this.
Anyone have anything similar and or no how to fix? It is so annoying....
