I hate making new threads but I can't seem to find an answer. Maybe I'm using the wrong keywords.
I use my N1 in my car alot. It's my main source for my music and hand's free calling while driving. I use the aux jack on my stereo to the N1 for music.
When I get a call it would ring though the speakers and I would touch the slider to accept the call. The caller would hear me crystal clear and I would hear them though the speakers just fine.
Now when I get a call, they can't hear me. They say I sound like I'm far far away. I can hear them just fine. But I look like a madman in my car screaming and yelling just to be heard.
So what I have to do now, is answer the call, and touch speaker, which only plays the voice though the speaker phone. They hear me crystal clear but sound is no longer going to the car speakers.
Anybody have this problem or know what's causing it or even a push in the right direction?
I have this excact same problem.
I came from a milestone using a standard 3.5mm audio jack and calls went really well. But when i tried my nexus, i got the same response, "sounds liek your far away".
I tried a few AUX cables but they all seem to do the same thing. So my solution was a aux cable with a built in mic.
I ended up modding the headphones that came with my nexus to get this working. Removed the earbuds and soldered a 3.5mm jack.
Now when i talk using that cable with a built in mic, ppl hear me very clearly. So i've jsut been using that cable since. I'm sure you can buy a premade aux cable with a mic at any local mobile audio store. I saw one at a BestBuy mobile here.
Hope this helps.
but the issue is that at one point it DID work normal with his nexus. i think what is going on here is the phone originally read the aux input as just standard audio output. but now its reading it differently somehow, i just dont know why. its almost like the difference when a phone thinks you have headset connected vs audio out connected with no mic support. no idea on a solution though...

I was thinking on buying the Belkin one with the mic right at the aux jack.
Hope this helps.

Exactly, it DID work. I can't pin point when it happened for me. I was thinking maybe it was when I went from Eclair to Froyo?
I'm almost positive that using the phone over Aux out broken with the update to Froyo. Has anyone tried this yet with Gingerbread on the N1 or with an NS? I'm hoping they fixed this, it's a really, really frustrating problem.
My fear is that everyone at Google got free car docks so they won't ever fix it because it's never a problem for them.
I also have the exact same problem. Thought it never worked for me, I only recently sets up my car mount with aux. Anybody found a solution?

When answering phone calls with headphones plugged in sound comes through clearly. I can hear the other person just find. However, they can not hear me.
Is there a way to enable the internal microphone on the device while having headphones connected?
Thank you.
I am looking for the same solution. I hooked up my phone to my car with aux input to listen music in the car. but when I get a call I have to unplug it because the mic on phone is disabled..if anyone knows a fix for it it would be a huge favor.Thanks

Yeah same deal, Bluetooth headphones would apply aswell.
You could get an adapter that has a built in microphone. They're available and not expensive.

But that is just a workaround. The problem is still there. I don't think it is that hard to fix, but I don't know how or where to mess up with it.
Also, it would be interesting if there was an option to use Kaiser's automatic answering after 3 ring with the speakerphone.. but that's a little offtopic I think
subscribing. I would also like to know.

When a headset is plugged in the mini usb port the unit (just like any other phone) it goes into headset profile and switches mic input to the headset.
Are you using the supplied headset (mini usb) or an adapter for 3.5mm jack?
The supplied headset enables the mike (in the small bulb on the cable) for talking and most people lift this to their mouths to talk on any phone.
If anyone is having this problem with a BT headphone (not headset!) then check in BT settings that the headphones are not set for 'Use as BT headset' only for 'Wireless Stereo'.
Hope this helps.
Farsquidge, Thank you for your response.
Using an adapter that outputs 3.5mm connection that connects to normal headphones or AUX connection for stereo.
You said that the phone switches profiles. When a 3.5mm external headphone is connected the phone switches to headset mode and with this we can assume that the phone is looking for external microphone aswell.
Solution: Change the headset profile to use the internal microphone rather than looking for a external microphone.
Goal: Using 3.5mm headphones with phones internal microphone.
Thank you.

Yep, you got it. You need an 'intelligent' app that knows you have a headset connected (usb adapter) but no mike so it can keep the internal mike on!!
Nothing out there that is that clever but the guys doing Kiaser Tweak may be able to give you something that you can manually select the profile to enable the internal mike!!
Why not ask them???
Any ideas?
There must be a solution for this simple problem, dutty???
Does anyone have any ideas?
i think this is what you are looking for:
http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2006/08/18/orange_spv_m3100_headphone_adapter_hack
but what WOULD be nice is that it's a male adapter, so you don't need the 3.5mm converter.
I started to put together something like this, just have to get off my butt and perform the splicing! Otherwise, that is how it's done.
Anyone know if there's a web site selling the USB adapter to 3.5mm male adapter and not female?

dude... you rock!! I have been looking for ages something like this for previous PPC's.
I know this is asking the world.. what about shorter length, make retractable w/microphone for phone operation?
anyways, i am placing my order today!
i love XDA Dev.. should have switched over from the other forums! this place doesn't sit still and the questions & answers are always there!
THANK YOU!!!
tvos
No problem. I generally dont post much. But I just couldnt let some be wondering all their life.
Theres this but its female:
http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=866
I thought about getting it but I cant justify $30 for it. For a little more I could get BT ones.
just ordered the product today. will let you know how it works!
I am just glad someone stepped up and finally created a product that is a male adapted direct input to female. This is a rare item!
Thank You!
tvos
Thank you gentlemen. Solution: An adapter with microphone and 3.5mm output.
Just recieved the cable today!
its excellent and fits snug! - wraps around the proclip cradle and directly into the female input car radio.
Yes, if they could make this with a mic adapter, that would be cool.
But for now, this beats rigging something from radio shack - splicing a few wires together just because someone is picky with length..

Awesome Im Getting One!!!
There is one reason why I have never used my Kaiser as a music/media player - the lack of a headphone jack. I am now look at upgrading to a Rhodium, but again HTC fails to include the most basic of requirements. pfff
I know that I can get a headphone adaptor, or even use bluetooth, but the problem for me is that whenever the usb plug falls out, as it invariably does, or the bluetooth signal drops, I instantly upset everyone within 100m by blasting crappy tinny sounding music at them through the phone speaker. Of course, 3.5mm jacks don't have the same habit of just falling out.
Therefore, is there any way that I can set up the phone so that when music or media is playing (usually through Coreplayer) the phone speaker is disabled?
Thanks
Plug in headphones? Otherwise if your not using the speakerphone how would you hear anything?
I've used a 3.5mm to mini usb cable and adapter, they both worked fine. I liked the cable better since i worried less about it breaking in my pocket. Its not the exact same one i am using right now but this one is only a penny.
http://www.amazon.com/Stereo-Headset-Speaker-Adaptor-phones/dp/B0013URK04/ref=pd_cp_e_3
but therein lies the problem - because the headphone output is mini-usb, it is always at risk of falling out (far more so than a 3.5mm jack).
Yea life is tough that way. I've yet to have anything just fall out of my mini usb port myself.
I suppose you could write a script that detects if anything is plugged in to the usb port ala Audio Booster, and auto mute if nothing is detected. But i don't think i've seen an auto mute app or anything like that.
Here's a kind of work around. I found this doing a google search for Auto Mute for PPC. http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=277
You could fire it up set it for an hour or so and listen away w/out fear, in theory at least.
that's a great idea - I'll give it a go. Thanks for taking the time.
Hope it works for ya! I can't get to the site and test it myself. I'm at work
Looks like the link is broken, but the idea is worth spending some time with google for
Damn.
This one says WinMo 5 ver 1.1, but i would think WinMo 6 is backward compatible. What about this one?

I don't really know how to explain...
I use my Nexus one in my car for calls.
I use a jack cable which is plugged into the radio. So I can hear my partner over the speaker in the car. Very good.
But, the others can't understand me. It's crappling all over.
When I put the cable out of the jack and use the normal hands free on the phone, everything is fine and the others understand me very well.
By plugging into the car radios jack, it starts with crappling my voice again.
Does anybody have the same problem? Or is it fine on your Nexus all the time?

sounds like the phone might be trying to find a microphone in the radio
Yes, could be. But why? What can I do?
It was very cool when somebody can try it, if it works on other NexusOne.
well the default headphones had a speaker in them so the jack is made to work as a speaker jack and a mic jack. however im not sure why it is expecting a mic when there is no information being sent back to the phone.
Simple expanation, I think - noise canceling functions.
When you're in speaker mode, it's settings are probably changed to account for a voice coming from a distance and being roughly equal for both mics, while when in regular mode it's working and expecting significant signal difference. When it doesn't get it - since you're speaking from a distance - it doesn't "think" you're talking, and cancels your voice partially as it would cancel outside noise.
There is a hack somewhere in General or Dev section, how to disable noise canceling. You might try.
OK, when I find it.... Sounds good
Not sure to whom I should direct this. The issue I'm having is when using headphones with a regular TRS plug the onboard mic is disconnected. This makes sense as most people use headsets but it would be great if the onboard mic could be forced on somehow so I could keep using my favorite headphones. Right now I'm have to take my headphones off and pull the plug for calls.
EDIT: To be clear I'm looking for a software solution to my problem.
Anyone think it would be possible to cook up a script to force the phone mic on while using standard headphones?
Hi,
Just got my "Google Home Mini".
Now I am curious if it is possible to connect it my bluetooth speakers to get better sound.
I have 2 Creative MUVO 2c paired for Stereo Sound.
Does somebody know if this is possible?
thx
Did you managed it that it work for you?

No you can not, so for now, My alexa dots are here to stay.
If my mini wasn't free, it would have gone back for sure. Having an AUX and/or Bluetooth to speaker capability seems like a must on the mini! Especially considering the terrible sound output on its built in speaker... I mean, that thing is bad lol. The voice is fine I suppose, but the sound is otherwise worse than I've heard in a LONG time on even a super cheap speaker. I really hope they add the Bluetooth function, and soon.
I am considering taking one apart and soldering on a aux cable to the speaker output and plug it into my home theater sound system, not sure whats inside or how it comes apart yet but they only cost $30, wort a shot...
There are several tear down posts now.
