I tried two different headsets with this device. My Nexus 7 does not detect the microphone on either one. The headphones work fine though, just not the mic.
The microphone on the tablet still works while the headset is plugged in. This tells me that the microphone is not even being detected. That's why I thought it initially worked, but further testing (skype test call) makes it obvious that my voice is being picked up from the tablet microphone, not the headset microphone.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Yes, I can confirm this behavior (see related thread). I received 2 units that work (or more accurately don't work) this way. Unless someone can confirm that their unit works with the external mic, I conclude that for some inexplicable reason, the tablet was not wired to permit the use of an external mic. It is either that or a mass defect in the units they are shipping.

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
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?
I'm having an interesting issue, and none of the things I've found on forum search seem similar. I recently replaced my XT1053 Dev Edition due to a cracked screen. I have an Apple Earpod headset the used to work fine for calls...that is, I never really bothered getting the buttons to work, but the headphones output audio just fine, and the mic worked in calls so I could leave my phone in my pocket.
However, recently with the new phone, I'm having an issue with the headset. Now the mic doesn't work on phone calls. Phone audio and music output fine. The other weird thing is that, if I'm listening to music and someone calls, and I pick up the call with the headset in (then find the mic doesn't work), I'll unplug the headset to use the phone regularly...but when I do, the phone defaults to speaker mode for some reason.
Not sure if this is (hopefully) an easy software fix, but if anyone has insights, I'd love to hear them. I don't think it is the headphones, as they work in my wife's iPhone just fine.
Not compatible with the X. Sorry. ?
According to this reddit thread the mic will work if you hold down the center button while plugging in.
http://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX/comments/1x31i1/headphones_with_mic_that_work/
Actually, the iPhone headset DID work fine on my last Moto X before I had to replace it. I was able to listen to music and make calls with it, and the mic worked. I'm wondering why it doesn't work anymore, if there's some software fix to it not working.
Well, a while back there was a lot of posts saying it didn't work. If it did or does, great.
Bottom line tho, if you plug it in and it works, awesome. If it doesn't, then it won't.
No software will help. ?

Hi,
I'm using a blackberry headset and having no issues with audio/mic. But I'm having the issue where the phone defaults to speakerphone mode when unplugging the headset in the middle of a call. This issue didn't go away with wipe cache partition, factory data restore and a warranty replacement!
BTW, i'm on stock XT1053...
Bluetooth works fine in my car as it should. However, the mic that came with the car's headunit makes me sound like a metal robot and makes it almost impossible to have a conversation. I can hear the person I'm calling just fine over my car's speakers. If I switch to speakerphone, I sound a million times better to the person as my phone is mounted on the dash, but then I can't hear them because of road noise and weakness of the phones speaker.
So my question is this. Is it possible to still use bluetooth but to be able to bypass the radio's mic to use the note's mic and have the person I'm talking to still come out of my car's speakers? I understand using an aux cable would probably work like this, but I'd rather have it work with bluetooth. as its one less thing to plug in.
I have 2 pairs of bluetooth headphones, each with a built-in microphone. My phone (galaxy s10) however, refuses to use those microphones. When I plug in wired headphones I can use the mic without a problem.
But when I connect my bluetooth headphones, the microphone simply doesn't work. I've looked through every option but can't seem to find a way to use the microphone.
Does android10/samsung even support bluetooth microphones? Is there any option I've overlooked?
Hi,
I can confirm I am having this exact issue with Galaxy A40.
Can you tell me if recording of the Bluetooth mic works if you use the MicTest (by Laureano) app form the app store?
This works great for me. Which tells me the mics in my case (a plantronic and a jabra) both work just fine.
But when it comes to calling and using other apps (Teams, Whatsapp, Samsung voice recorder) the phone just defaults to the internal microphone.
Is there a setting missing here?
