I am using the supplied (stock) headset that came with the phone and have noticed my callers telling me that I sound far from the phone when in fact, have been putting the headset's microphone very close to my face to talk. Then I figured what was the problem, the caller couldn't hear because when I was speaking, my phone was far away from my face. Doesn't make sense.
Why would the handset's microphone be activated when I plugged my headset into the headphone jack fully? Shouldn't it be using the headset's microphone instead? I am using the headset and I have to put the phone closer to me in order to talk because that's where the sound input is going through (handset for sound-in and headset for sound-out)
Does anyone else seem to be experiencing this? If you haven't noticed this already, could you give some input and let me know? Greatly appreciate it and thanks in advance.
I haven't noticed anything like this.
I will test tomorrow and see what the other caller says. I've been mostly using the headset that came with my Cliq, so haven't had much of a chance to try it out. I haven't had any complaints with the Cliq headset on the G2 though.
I've used the G2 headset for maybe 2-3 calls so far but no complaints.

I've had the same issue and haven't tried to figure out what is causing it. If you unplug the headset and plug it back in it has fixed the problem for me every time.
same thing but on my wife MT3G Slide with both headsets. i have not encountered that issue with the G2

Actually, the first time it happened, I thought the microphone just sucked and I just winged it and kept talking but talked louder lol. I figured out the second time (yesterday) that it could be getting sound input through the handset instead of the headset. So I went to the handset and asked if they heard me better and they said "oh yeah now you sound close". So after that, I unplugged it and retried it and same outcome. I tried using my Sidekick 2008 (LOL) headset and the microphone piece on the headset worked!!
So I went back on my Sidekick 2008 and called someone and tried the G2 headset with the outcome that the headset's microphone works?! WTH? I thought it would be because the G2's headset being defective but doesn't seem to be the case. So I went back to the G2 to try the headset one more time with its complimentary headset to find that it works as intended now.
Maybe its a software glitch on the phone? Because I know it was in the earphone jack properly (twice), if not, I would have heard distortion in the headset itself. I was using Bluetooth earlier and do recall this issue happening the first time when I was using Bluetooth and switching to headset.

Hmm. I did have the MT3G and honestly, people have told me the call quality on that phone was better than the G2. But to fix or try to troubleshoot your wife's MT3G issue with the headset, try powering off the phone and turning it back on then replug the headset.
my wife had done a wipe on her phone and flashed a different rom before i told her to try it. so i dont know what to say lol it works

lol so it works now?
if so I would say it is safe to say it is software issue. because if it was hardware defect, the phone would not know to do sound input through the handset. that is my guess.
she had cyanogen and changed it to a rooted stock rom i'll update if any issues

So stupid thing happened today - I was listening to some music with Media Player through normal headphones connected through an 2.5mm -> 3.5mm adapter. Suddenly the phone rang and the guy calling hung up. The music continued playing. So far so good. But ever since I can get sound in/out my Prophet only through the handsfree port. I tried soft resetting several times - sound won't come out the rear speaker. I tried also plugging in/out the standart handsfree set - nothing helps.
Any suggestions? I really don't want to hard-reset now..
Exactly the same thing happened with me today. freaky. i have no sound whatsoever coming out from the speaker and can only talk though my bt headset. hope some solution will present itself soon.
try this. might help.

Oh, thanks a lot man! It really helped! Phew, I was desperate
my mic on my xperia is acting up. if i hold the phone to my ear normally then no one can hear me when i talk. i have to hold the mic area right up to my mouth but even then the other person can barely hear me. bluetooth and the headset that came with the phone work just fine. I sent the phone back to sony and just got it back and they said they fixed it but did not. i'm super frustrated at sony's repair service since my phone is not fixed. has anyone else had this problem???
Sorry, I can't quite hear what you're saying, you're very quiet...
Only joking ofc I've only had the problem where the phone thinks the headphones are connected. From your description it's not that problem though. I can understand how frustrating it'd be to send it to Sony, only to find the problem's not fixed...
I think this is quite a well known problem, the mic on the stereo headset just does not work.

it isnt, he said that if he use the a bluetooth headset works like a charm, so hes talking about the mic of the phone not of the headset...
I just bought some M9Ps with a built in mic, and they don't even work with this phone. You have to hold the mic button to get clear sound, and when trying to make a call it automatically ends unless you hold the mic button the whole way. Then the person can't even hear you..
Is there a fix to this? I REALLY don't like the default headphones.
There is no fix. You could have known about this issue if you read the accessoires board, because the problem has been documented there.
I bought the M9P's too by the way. I returned them for the regular M9's.
well so what does that mean?
that it wont work?
well i flashed back to di18 and works perfectly wit no issues mic works n so do the headphones onthe headset
now when im in dk28 headphones work but not the mic :/
something ****ed up in the kernel?
Well look on the bright side. You can speak into the phone's mouthpiece even though your earphone is plugged in. =D
I am having the same problem, when you say flashed back to di18 what do you mean? Is that a certain custom rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
+1 on this, skullcandy holua's does the same thing, works great on my mw600 but not when plugged directly into the phone. What are you flashing back to fix?
daang i have the same problem with my skullcandy buds Is it because I am on cm 6 + 2.2?
Hey,
for some reason, I can't use the microphone on any earphone/headphones with an inline mic. The audio output is fine, I can hear the sounds through my earphones. The mic, however, does not work. The main play/pause button on my earphones work as well, but the volume buttons don't.
Weird thing is, even the earphones that come with the G2 does not work, this is obviously a software problem. Is there a known fix or is there an app or something I can download to fix this problem?
Some specific problems:
sometimes when I am calling someone and I use my headphones, the mic on the phone stop working. I'm assuming the phone detects that an earphone with a inline mic is plugged in, thus turning off the one on the phone, but obviously this just ends up with them not being able to hear me at all.
In the sound recorder(where I have been checking whether the mics were working or not), the recorder doesn't detect my mic on the earphones, but it "hears" everytime I press a button on the inline mic which is interesting.
Hopefully someone has gotten this to work. I'm running CM 6.1, the specific earphones I'm trying to get working is skullcandy 50/50s (which is meant for iphone, but i've heard that iphone earphones work too). Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
That's been an issue for some people. My old wired headset that came with my Cliq does the same thing - audio mic is bypassed and mic on the phone is used instead.
The wired headset that came with the G2 works fine for me though. Tested it every which way with my wife on the phone and always got audio with the headset mic.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
skeptical, I tried using the one that came with the G2 again, and magically it worked. I know that the whole audio/mic thing is still buggy, I probably tested it before when it was acting up. Looks like a lot of people are having success with skullcandy's FMJs so I think i'll go try them out.
I had a similar issue and I heard that wired headsets (iphone compatible) work on Stock, so I nandroided and went back to stock from Cyanogen and the headset mic worked fine, so it might be a cyanogen specific issue.
I'm having a weird issue with my T-Mobile S8.
I'm using a HyperX CloudX headset and on some calls, the other party gets weird feedback noises from my end. You can't hear it on my end, and it doesn't happen on every call. I tried the headset on different phones and made sure it's connected properly but can't really get anything consistent.
I can't post a URL to a recording since this is my first post, but it sounds like a weird feedback static loop
Muting the headset or unplugging it seems stops the noise, but it doesn't happen every time.
Has anyone ran into this before?
I get the same thing when I use my HyperX Cloud2 headset as well... Did you ever find a solution?

I exchanged it for another one of the same model. It must've been a bad connector.
