Using my iPhone Earbud+Mic works fine in the audio jack. - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm puzzled by the various confirmations that the jack is TRS (meaning it can't have a mic) because I did several tests by tapping on the mic quietly and talking while disconnecting the headset from the jack and you can clearly hear the difference so, somehow, it's TRRS.
For what it's worth I received my N10 last week. I'm running 4.3. Wish these things had a hardware/motherboard rev number I could quote but I can't find one.

It's funny, but my Sony headphones didn't work . But my Samsung S4 headphone worked fine and also a cheap one I got because my other ones broke. Guess it's some devices that has incompatibility.

Only thing I can think of is that according to the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio)
There's two standards for TRRS:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So since i'm using my Apple headset then the N10 conforms to the "latest" version of the standard.

HOLY CRAP! those are definitely not iphones
too bad we can't see the front of it

i'll not be surprised, since they are sponsored by Tmobile see jackets
ENHANCE!!!

also the USB slot
and the back speaker (it has a different shade than the rest of the phone)
it's definitely the Tmobile SGS
guy on the left probably saying something in german along the lines - "this xxxking GPS, what a joke", it thought i was in ......"
hahah thats def Galaxy S baby!!!!
The camera lens frame seems a bit rectangular instead of the squarish format of the SGS.
But it might be some aspect ratio distortion on the photo. They might be using the mighty Samsung indeed... especially since no GPS is needed there so a unit without one would still completely satisfy.

"Guy on the left" is Franck Ribéry, one of the best fotball players alive. His German is not all that fluent (coming from France), but may be enough to talk about GPS.

[Q] AUX Playback Volume coming from phone is randomly low (but not always)

Gentlemen,
My friend has an original, unrooted S4.
I am waiting for the exact model number, but I believe it's the i9500.
She mentioned that when she plays music from her phone to her car stereo, the volume is often (but not always) low, and yes, phone volume is cranked up all the way.
When this happens, she has to raise the car stereo volume considerably in order to be able to listen.
So far, she's tried two different cables. Also, she's currently driving a dealer issued loaner and observed the same issue.
I've read the S4 FAQ and performed a Search. I couldn't find anything.
Have you guys ever heard of a similar issue with the S4?
Thank you in advance.
...anyone?

Havit SK466BT (bluetooth speaker) for 34.99 on amazon

Bluetooth speaker which is worth buying. HV-SK466BT is a small and fashionable designed Bluetooth speaker. Initially when you unwrap the box you cannot imagine how valuable this may perhaps be considering the price and it’s size.
The speaker comes with a 3.0 Bluetooth technology, this Bluetooth can be used for calling use as well, other than this for super quick and easy this phone supports NFC technology too.
The weight of this speaker is neither heavy nor very light and it’s small size allows you to carry this Bluetooth speaker anyplace you go, coming with a rubbery finish substance which gives you a good feel when you touch it plus protects it if dropped. It fell by mistake from me and was okay with no single scratch. This speaker has a good bass and extremely loud and clear sound quality which in this price range is not easy to get.
One of the best feature is the calling element, having an internal microphone it allows you to answer your phone calls too, so everyone can hear and talk. Last but not the least the battery life of this is phone is 7 to 8 hours which is more than at least what I expected.

looks nice but i am looking for one without battery. they seem increasingly hard to find. currently using a creative d80 in one room but want something different in other room so i can tell them apart

Bad call quality, ok on speaker

I have the following problem:
I have bought 2 nexus 4 and combined those two to 1 working N4.
I'm getting complaints from people that they can't hear me to well.
We I put it on speaker they can understand me perfectly.
Would this be a hardware or software issue?
I'm running M915A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.98 hybrid radio and Nexus 5 experience Rom.

The only way you can find out is by flashing a completely new ROM (after you backup, of course) with a full wipe, and trying to call someone. If it works, then it's software. If not, it's hardware.
My take on it is that it's software; microphone is working while on speaker..

Ok, I found the cruelpit.
it was the usb port board that was faulty.
I ordered one from ebay because my port was broken, however it is missing something on the mic.

The bad one doesn't have a black film over the speaker.
I replaced the usb port from an other n4 and sound quality is back to normal.

[Q] Software or hardware problem?

The phone was rooted at the time this started but has since been unrooted. It is now on Android 5.0.1. Basically when on a call the speaker (receiver maybe?) will cut in and out really bad and crackle. Also when I try to use headphones you have to turn the volume all the the way up before you can even understand what the noise is coming out of the ear buds. I took it to Sprint they told me they replaced the headphone jack and receiver but since my phone was rooted they told me it was a software issue. So does anyone know of anything I can do myself to fix it or should I just bring it back to Sprint now that the phone is unrooted?

Take it back to Sprint, that's a hardware issue.

It's gotta be hardware if it is persisting through stock unrooted, you took care of the software side.
