I noticed a few days ago that my new Turbo does not play audio through the headphones I have. It cuts the phone speaker off when i connect them as if its playing through the headphones, but the phones are completely silent.
I confirmed that the h.phones work with other devices, and I have another second set that doesn't work on the turbo. BOTH the sets that dont work are the ones that have a built in phone mic and 3 black rings on the jack.
I found an old third set that is just plain headphones (identical size but 2 black rings, no phone mic or volum controls built in) and IT works fine on the turbo.
Ive researched and I have found a few people with similar vague questions but no answers other than people saying it sounds broken...
SO... can you guys please confirm if you have a 3 ring type jack on your headphones that DOES .. (or DOESNT) work?
Thanks so much!

At first mine work fine, but recently it begun to get faulty until it stop working, if I twist the plug sometimes
I can get them to work, if i touch it the sound stops.
I have had no problem of that sort with my Xiaomi piston 2.
Not all three-ring headphone jacks are the same. The technical name for it is TRRS jacks, and while referring to them as ring works, people just call 'em poles (don't ask me why, people just call 'em that).
http://www.cablechick.com.au/blog/understanding-trrs-and-audio-jacks/
There are different types of TRRS standards and they're poorly indicated as to what type of standard a headphone is using.
Thanks so much. Very helpful info.
So my real question now is, are our phones not TRRS compatible? Seems kind of silly if they're not. I'm considering taking it in for a warrantee issue but I'd hate to get a refurb that has the same problem if this isn't really anything "broken".
Yes but Bluetooth so doesnt count... Jayblue birds x
My turbo came with an included "3 ring head phone jack". So, I would assume that it, at least, can work. I don't use the head phone that came with it, so I can't tell you that it actually works. ?
I've used three ring headphones with a mic with my Turbo just fine.
Headphone with a mic
My turbo will not work with headphones that hat a mic (3 pole)... kind of annoying but I still love the phone..

TRRS stands for Tip - Ring - Ring - Sleeve.
Ring is the correct way to refer to it.
I used an old pair of Samsung headphones w/mic and they work fine.
Not that phones come with great earphones these days.. but, I found it odd that a flagship wouldn't come with anything at all.

i recently purchased iPhone headphones for the X1 seeing in it has a mic already on the right headphone, however when i plug it in the phone, the sound its distorted, i verified the 3 coils at the end of the jack are the same spacing as the X1s. i also put my original headphones in and they work fine, what is wrong with the headphones?
The answer is pretty simple. They were made by Apple..........
the problem is that there is no std of 3 ring (mic included) minijack connectors are made
as in the size of the 3 ring and location so it's always hit and miss if headsets with mic not officially for a device will work
I was searching for a headset covering the needs for good sound, in ear technique (and I mean REAL in ear unlike the stuff that comes with the HD2) and the possibility to use some kind of remote control.
I found the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5vi, but am unsure to which amount they are working with my HD2...
Anyone got them?
If so: To which amount are they compatible?
IMHO, any 35mm headset + any phone with 35mm jack = any guy + any girl
Explanation:
the parts should fit together to produce something else.
How compatible the 2 are, totally depends on you: there ARE many people who can't hear the difference between a $10 headset vs a $300 headset...
Perhaps you can share what you mean by not be compatible?
Thx for the answer, but I didn't mean if I'll hear anything at all! ^^
(both have 4 conductors, so at least they should produce sound)
I wanted to know if the remote control will work for at least answering calls and hanging up without producing anything glitchy like powering the whole thing down or calling someone else.
As far as I've heard AUX and GND Conductors are changed in the Iphone plugs, so I don't know if anything strange will happen when using a headset made for the stupid Iphone with another smartphone.
yes it will be compatible.
altho i only got the metro fi 200vi. pretty damn sure the others will work.
great mic with button functions and superb audio quality. probably the best i've heard in many yrs.
one press to ans/end calls, or one press to play/pause music. double quick presses strange tho, dials last dialled number. but overall pretty damn nice IEMs for only S$95
Thx a lot!
I guess they didn't change the remote control from one vi model to another... at least I hope so!
The Double press thing is a pity, but not fatal... It's just a different function. ^^
since a few days I have the Bose Headset. The only remote is a button to pickup calls but the sound is really fantastic.
which model number of Bose Headset?

I've got the Super.fi 5vi, they work to answer calls, hang up and will even call the last called number. I've never tried to control manila's audio player with them, so not sure if that works.

So I have looked everywhere and havent really found the answer im looking for. First of all my headphones, also others i have tried including an aux cable dont seem to fit into the nook color headphone jack all the way. This is causing problems hearing sound in both ears, or getting any sound at all. I have to fidget to get it just right. Does anyone have any solution or similar problems? A specific pair that work?

It isn't broken. Just stick the headphone jack in and when it gets stuck just push on it until it goes in
My nook is like that and doing what I stated above will not break your nook or headphones

Mine works fine with three sets of headphones and an Aux cable.

really?
i found mine to be a bit hard to plug in and unplug but im kind of use to it now, i just thought all nooks were like that
It requires a bit more force to insert and remove than other devices I have, but that also makes them harder to disconnect by accident. /shrug
They do work fine if you insert them all the way rather than stopping at the first click, as the tip slides past the ring contact, which may be what the OP is doing.
Wow... im a crackhead lol. Anyways thanks guys, sorry for wasting your time.

lol no problem it was a valid question and i was wondering the same thing when i first got my nook color, i just accidentally ran into the solution like 1 hour later lol
Yes, the headphone jack is extremely tight on the NC. I feel like I am going to break something every time I am plugging in the headphones. I am sure that they inserted completely. However, out of 5 "plug in and out" cycles, only 1 will yield the full spectrum of the frequencies for me. Specifically, there is no bass, all mids and highs. I have to plug and unplug few times to get sound with bass+the rest. I am not complaining that the bass is weak, there is simply no bass at all until you get a right "fit". I tried 5 different headphones (ranging from cheap iPod headphones to UE TripleFi 10) and different sources (e.g., Pandora, music player, etc), and the result was always the same.
Anybody else with this problem (i.e., complete lack of bass until you find the right "fit")?
3.5mm TRS audio jacks have three contacts, one each for the Right and Left stereo channels and one for ground. A channel is either present or absent. Any bass issues you are experiencing are not due to the jack; it simply is not wired that way.

I am certainly experiencing this issue as well. I've found a way to reproduce it. If you push the plug in fast enough all the way, you can get the plug to produce full sound, but if you push it half way in and wait for NC to change the sound from speakers to headphones you'll be missing some spectrum, after you're hearing broken sound coming out of your headphones, even if you completely push in the rest of the jack, the final results will be missing some spectrum. So the only way to get complete sound is to push the plug in before the NC switches to the headphone output.
Wonder what a pair of the little powered external speakers would sound like?
Hello all.
I recently bought Skull Candy 50/50 headphones to replace my (overly "repaired") headphones.
Problem is that the second I connect them to the device the music player (stock android player) starts playing/skipping tracks like crazy.
It stops skipping tracks and works 100% fine if I hold either of the volume buttons on the headphones remote (the remote doesn't change the volume).
I should mention that the package states "Made for Iphone/Ipod" but the clerk at the store said it will be fine
Has any one experienced a similar problem with said headphones on a milestone?
If not than it would mean the headphones are defective and I need to go replace them (haven't yet because it's ~3 hours worth of driving from where I live).
Motorola Milestone CM7.1 RC8.
thats not just the problem with skull candys. sometimes i experience similiar problems with koss porta pros. i think the problem is the plug. some head phone plugs don't fit well into the jack so that it moves a little and sends a false remote signal to play the next track or something like that.
theres no proof but that may be one explanation
U're right! After changing my headset, i encounter some probs , like a small disconnect or so, which didn't appear when having the original one. So, the female jack may have some issues, or the headset's male jack is a bit thinner... idk...

ya either one
My theory was that since the skullcandy headset was "made for iphone/ipod" then the remote uses different signals than another "made for everything" headset thus making the milestone confused.
But if you guys say that "made for everything" headsets do the same thing than I can only ask why do we have the standard 3.5mm jack if different companies do what ever they want with it.
My 3.5mm jack is 100% functional with other 4 pole headsets so it's either a defective headset or "made for iphone/ipod" should have the word "only" in it.
Thank you all for your replies.
Hey all,
So I searched the forum and found quite a few headphone port issues discussed, but no mention of my exact problem. And yes, I looked inside my port and scraped around with a toothpick... there is nothing immediately obvious obstructing the port- hence the need for my post
My headphone port seems to be short on depth. I have a pair of headphones with an inline mic. There are perfectly fine for listening to music (they even snap into place as they should). But the mic doesn't work. I don't use that often so i forgot about it.
Well the other day I bought a selfie stick (I know... I know... don't kick me! My fiance and I travel a lot and sometimes it is impossible to find someone to take a photo for you in front of a landmark). I bought a wired one to avoid the battery drain of BT (which I don't use much except in the car). Well, the shutter button on the stick doesn't work with my N6. I have 5 camera apps installed and all have the volume buttons mapped to the shutter...I tried it with my fiance's LG G4 and my old GS2, it works on both of them.
So while trying to trouble shoot this issue, I plugged my headphones into her phone and made a call... low and held, the mic worked. Next I searched the forums and Google and found the issues of clogged ports. Mine isn't. And I used a bright halogen light to peer inside. Nothing but port. So I measured it.
Here is the interesting part, my first measurements just involved watching how far the jack entered the port. I tried my phone, my S2 and the LGG4... the S2 and the G4 both ingested the entire jack. My N6, about 1mm was left out. So I measured by inserting a tooth pick and measuring how far it went in, sure enough, my N6 is about 1mm shallower then the others.
I did find one post here on XDA where people suggested that you had to press very hard to fully insert a jack. I tried, I nearly broke the headphones in the attempt... and no change.
Has anyone else had this exact issue? Were you able to solve it?
Has anyone attempted to replace the port?
Just a bump...
Anyone? TIA
Those mics don't tend to work in most cases if they work on an iphone vice versa, there are converters on dx.com as example. Sony headphones are known to work fine on android phones, I got a sony mdr-1 with an inline mic and controls that works fine on my n6.
If you want I can send pictures of the headphone jack connector when the back panel is removed, my back panel is currently loose after replacing the battery and I'm still waiting for the replacement ^^

Sure, the photo would be great.
The headphones I have work on two other Android devices, as well as the selfie stick. So it doesn't appear to be a comparability issue with Android.
Thanks!
So,
When I had a Moto X (V2) I asked moto about the volume controls and was told that they did not implement them, as it was not an Android standard feature. My guess it that it is the same with the Nexus 6 (I now use bt headphones, so haven't tried). My guess is that the microphone doesn't work on your headphones (try another set) and that the volume control over the headphone jack is not implemented.

Hey Note Dude.
Thanks for responding. It's an interesting theory, but I have an inline volume control on this headset that does indeed adjust the volume. So, it's really just the mic.
Thanks, though!
