[Android] Wired Headset Mic Not Working On Calls - Touch CDMA Android Development

I know this was an known issue on the cupcake build, but I was hoping that it would be fixed in eclair. I've just installed 1.6 on my vogue. The microphone on my HTC OEM wired headset seems to work for voice activated calling and searching, but not when I'm in a phone call. the person on the other end can't hear a thing unless I unplug the headset. Is this still a known issue? I can't find an official list anywhere. Can anyone suggest a fix? Could another build work? Or is there some kind of patch? Thanks in advance for any help. I'll be one step closer to being WM free!

Can anybody confirm that they are also seeing this problem, or counter that they are not? What build are you using? Anybody out there?
Oh maybe I need to move this to the new Android forum? OK here goes.

Original Handsfree Kit

What is the silver button on the original handsfree kit meant to do? when i have an incoming call it wont pick up so, so is there meant to be another function to it or something? thanks
i second that also
this key doesn't answer the incoming call
is there someone else has this problem ?
anyone actally used the handsfree kit?
The wired one? I use mine all the time, answers calls here, and a double press makes it dial last number..
hi, i'am also having the same issues.
the silver button does not pick up calls.
has anyone found a solution for this?
I have the same problem
I live at HK
I have been to the Service Center,
But denied it is the handfree fault but the rom bug..
I argued with them, then changed to a new handfree,
but the problem still there....
Hi everybody,
I'm new here and very grateful for all the brilliant solutions you guys come up with to all sorts of issues with x1.
I have the same problem with my hands-free: the button doesn't work and neither does the microphone. Until now, I've thought of it as a simple matter of replacing the hands-free kit, but now I see the suggestion that this is a Rom bug! Will anyone be able to elaborate a bit on this?
thanks and best regards,
Sune
Really not sure it is real or not that is a rom or software bug,
but sure quite a number of problem of people experienced such problem!
I hope SE not to put a death ear on this issue.
It is really annoying as I quite often used the handfree.
hello everyone
the same problem on my russian x1 handsfree. Have tried to fix it with some patches - no results. Then I've bought Nokia Xpress music handsfree, and it works perfectly (and radio works too).
update
VERY SAD, but it doesn't fix the problem. bad quality of X1 jack - thats the problem. Xpress key doesn't answer the incoming call periodically too, but handsfree itself working good all the time

The first time i got to know the headphone dosen;t work in answering call, I really feel astonished. It is such a basic function of phone, how can the genius of SE dose not test it. Do them think we will buy another handfree???
Really disappointed of SE.....

Hi I'm Chris from Sri lanka,
Yes, I have the same issue! The handsfree seems to work when I remove it and re insert the jack during an incoming call, but not initially! It is very temeperamental and annoying. I also have a problem when I get an another call when I'm already on a call while using the handsfree. The current call goes to speaker phone and the party cannot hear wht I'm saying through my handsfree!
So I am forced to remove the handsfree and talk during such instances! Crazy this, especially since answering phone calls is one of the core functions of a cell phone! what's the point in having all the frills when answering a call is so tedious!
This is very disppointing, especially with such a high price tag to boot!
same case here. im really disappointed...
i guess that if i can when asus glaxy came out i will change mi xperia for that one... this phone is really "buggy"...
Same probleme here unfortunately.. I tried to remove all
additional programs related to dialing and volume,
switched to the new ROM, but no changes. Button on headset
does not work and microphone neither.
I also have same issue, both HK new stock ROM & cook rom also.
i'm form India, had purchased Xperia X1i and using Airtel network. when i connect my hands free and attend one call the moment second call come, automatically my loud speaker gets activated.
is any facing the same problem in Indai or any where else? will any one help me this.
is there any solutions?

Samething here, and the above works for me too (Remove and re insert), but SE really need to fix this for us.
I believe it's a hardware problem, bad 3.5mm jack!
My right earphone's volume has fallen to one tenth. I have it for less than a month. Good listening but bad manufacturing quality.
Personally I don't think it's bad hardware, I think it's bad firmware/rom.
Currently, with GENERIC UK ROM R2AA010, three presses of headset button dials last number, long press disconnects. Not tried incoming call yet.
I really need to be able to customize this buttons function, especially to activate Voice Command, so that I can make calls, play music etc, without the need for touching the phone. Only then, will I be able to make a button for the handlebars on my motorbike.
Want to use a fully wired system to save on battery power, rather than bluetooth. Also, in all the years of using bluetooth, I have yet to find a combination of handset and headset that work seamlessly.
So far, not impressed with the lack of functionality of this headset, but can see why it works like this. Essentially SE should have included Voice Command, then this hardware/software combination would have been shipped working effectively. I think it is merely a cost saving exercise and SE need to provide a patch and fix in their next rom release.

Problem with G1 mic?

hi,
not sure if anyone experiences this problem.
Whenever i have phone calls, the other person always cannot hear me
but i can hear the other person very clearly.
even when trying to record using videocam/voice recorder, no voice can be picked up. I have also tried using the headset that comes with it and there is still no sound detected. I not sure what breaks it, if anyone have any idea please help me
thank you.
the firmware i’m using
Cyanogen 4.1.11.1 (but the problem starts way back before this firmware)
baseband version 2.22.19.26I
V7 audio mod by Meltus (if it does affect)

Mic of IS, Noise Cancellation disorder!

Just like some other models, the famous Noise Cancellation problem arrived IS.
Situation:
When a normal headphone (without mic) plugged in, or
When the handset is plugged to car kit
Problem:
Noise Cancellation activated and the other side cannot hear anything.
Workaround:
Unplug your phone and talk to it direct. Are we using a smartphone or stupidphone?
Solution:
1. Pray someday HTC will release an update, or
2. Pray someone can root IS and release an utility to deactivate Noise Cancellation
For 1, everyone here please test for yourself, and report to HTC support. I am not sure if they will release an update but at least they are polite enough to talk to. For 2, just pray.
all i use is a bluetooth carkit and that doesnt seem to have these problems for me at all...
idk if ur referring to a cabled one... but if thats the case erhm.... sorry idk ^^

Pay attention to the word "plugged". Yeah... bluetooth stereo headphones are fine too.
Hy! i have my IS since a week... i have the same promlems, nobody can hear my on the other side while i am driving....
when i am calling from home its alright. I dont understand how is it possible? please somebody help me!!!!!!!
I called HTC support about this issue and they replied it's a "feature" of the noise cancellation function. I really hope IS can be rooted soon so we can sort out the problem ourselves.
Same here, they gave me the same reply. But then I asked, is the "feature" intends to prevent user from using headphones or car kits, they cannot give me an answer but said they forward the case to the engineerin dept. Hope something can be done next.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Same problem here.
Fixed by Gingerbread!!! Yay!!!
Are you sure?
Yesterday I've talked to HTC germany and told them what they have to do to disable this crap feature.
Every HTC since Nexus One have this Problem.
It's in the build.prop, you have to change one single line...
On my phone it's now working fine, but I'm S-Off and rooted.
I've told HTC yesterday how-to fix this problem.
They say, that there are to few persons, who told there this problem.
Yes, I can also confirm that the GB upgrade fixes the mic problem with normal headphones.
Besides, I can no longer hear that little echo of my own voice I used to hear during a call. Just hope HTC didn't disable noise cancellation as a solution for this.

ok so apparently for me even the htc headset that came with my phone doesnt seem to want to work :S...
is this true for everyone or is my htc IS just messed up?
I used it in miui, arhd and virtuous.... is it possible that there is a hardware issue in the phone :S? any way to check?.... the mic symbol does show up on the phone though just no voice goes through?
this is a bell/virgin IS with S-off, and eng boot...
any reply back will be really helpful cuz im about to chuck my phone against the wall
... the handsfree build.prop change (from development section) works somewhat that i can hear myself talking on mic.... but no voice is going through to the other end :S....

You are not alone - have same problem and have tried multiple rom images.
thats sad.... kills the device for me nicely that a simple thing like that has a bug
Handsfree was working well with htc stock rom. It wont work on cyanogen and miui roms.
doesnt seem to want to work for me with any custom rom :S... oh well
I too have the same problem. It's a bit disappointing but overall phone is great with custom roms.
mmmm do u people (whomever) has the issue... mind telling exactly what phones u have and what carriers and stuff.... this has to be a software issue somewhere cuz it was working on stock roms...
My headset ( htc ) worked without a problem on the ORIGINAL stock rom aka. 2.2 ( or was it 2.1 ) when i updated to the OFFICIAL 2.3 rom via the built-in upgrade now feature in the phone it stopped working, so in my experience it seems to be a 2.3 problem or smthing
so it seems as if a drivers problem in gingerbread for us :S... everyones from a different country...
unless somehow the manufacturing is not as solid as i thought...
- so i seem to have gotten my htc headset working with virtuous 1.29.... I had to flash another kernel (unity v3 in my case) ... and the headset started working, has a little echoish sound ... but better than nothing
I have the same issue here : IS with Orange France
So problem started with stock rom. HTC headphone ok, iphone headphones ok, then i bought sennheiser CX880i and then i mic was not properly detected and never able to get a sound out of it.
Had the same issue with custom rom later on : Virtuous unity. So i buy another brand of headphones with mic today : Klipsch S4i ... same issue with custom rom virtous unity 1.31.
will try other kernel to see if its the same...
it is worse with this kernel as now my iphone mic is no longer recognised...

Bluetooth headset Google voice search/Google Now stuck on Initializing

Hi,
I have an issue with my HTC One. When i try to use voice recognition via my bluetooth headset plantronic Discovery 975 the phone is stuck on Initializing. I've found thread talking about a similar issue for the razord Max but none for the HTC One.
Do you know if there is a fix or a solution to this issue ?
Thanks !
Nexus 4 has the same problem: stuck on 'initializing' and softly saying 'one moment please' (or the Dutch language equivalents).
On a wired earpiece, it does work.
It just gets stuck at initializing.
I'm reviving this post because after the update of my HTC One to android 4.2.2 I thought the issue would be resolved. But the update didn't solve it.
Has anyone found a solution to this issue ?

Try turning on keypad touch sounds under the sound section in settings. It's a weird bug but that fixes it. Same thing happens on Samsung galaxy
its same with sennheiser ezx 60. htc one x could recognised whatever i said. but one sucks.

Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately I tried to do it but didn't work . Only solution i found for now is to activate the car mode.
Then the voice recognition works but not with google now.
Any other suggestion ?
Solved!
Still no fix coming from Google, but at least one nice guy made a temp fix while they do it.
Look for "Voice Command" app on Google Play. Developer's name is IT-DEV-CROWD or code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42178#c37
It worked for me, after trying a lot of different configurations.
The fix works nicely for BT headsets. Any solution for wired headsets? I would like to place a call in the middle of listening to music... Not possible!
