I just got this little beast and I love it, but what is naggin me if that I don't know how the ANC works on this phone.
Does the extra mics are on the pair of headphones that come with it? or is it on the phone?
It's on the phone. More exactly on the top of it next to the headphone jack in our case.

With the new impending crackdown on making calls on the move, I dug out the headphones that came with the XDA II and found that they just wont stay in my ear and keep dropping out.
Can any one suggest a single earpiece replacement with a answer/end button that will work on the XDA II ??
I have looked around for a single earphone and found the one that came with the sharp GX 1 works but does not have answer button,my other suggestion would be to buy a pack of earphone foamy things which will make the standard unit much better. Hope this helps.
The earphones that come with the XDA I/II are really pretty good - EXCEPT that they don't stay in your ear. I tried a few others, but couldn't find any that had volume control and answer and were stereo. One of them I tried along the way was from Jabra - which comes with different sized "ear gels" to put on the earpiece.
I took these ear gels, and put them on the XDA headphones and voila! Full featured earphones that are comfortable and stay in my ear!
You can find these gels pretty easily... Here is what they look like:

I thought the xdaII came with earphones designed for human beings? Perhaps only some of us then...... they stay in my ears..... they seem to have rubber sides which helps.
Plantronics has one of their new headfree headsets that work with the PocketPC. I forgot which model exactly, but saw it at the T-Mobile store recently. It had a litte "rubber" part that fit around your ear to help hold it in place. Try to check that out.
Why dont you try buying any pair of headphones you like, remove the in-ear headphones and attatching the ones you baught them to the mic part. I got an audio specialist to do this for me and he only charged me £5. Now I have all the features and comfortable loud headphones with bass.
Anyone who can hold a soldering iron can modify your existing headset.
You just have to unsolder the wires from the earpieces on the pcb with the mic and have the one you like soldered in place.
Or you could use a 3,5 mm female plug with a short piece of wire instead, so you can connect whatever you want as heaset.
I just got my Nextlink Bluespoon Digital which I bought from Alphanet (an ebay seller). Paid USD$289.85 (AUD$420 landed). Not such a bad price considering that expansys is selling them for AUD$650.
Initial impressions? Rather disappointing. The build quality is rather poor. I ordered two, and both of them showed mold and glue marks. My example has a hair trapped under the LED. You can see the shadow when the LED illuminates.
Outgoing sound quality is outstanding. I tested it on the way home by sticking my head out the window and into the wind. The other party could still hear me speaking. The Jabra BT200 which I borrowed for a while would drown out in white noise.
Incoming sound quality is rather average. This is because the headset is just not loud enough! Conversations are audible when there is little ambient noise but one you are sitting in a car it becomes very difficult to hear anything.
The headset is very comfortable. I have been wearing it for the past 2 hours now and it still feels OK.
yeah like jos say right over the pickup button and mic
and then a female 3.5mm minijack and then plug in ones better
headset would work just fine
it's just solvdering those wires may not be too easy for newbies
as they are somewhat thin
and if people mess up they dont have anything to fall back on
Being a cheapskate I took the spongey bits of a spare set of in ear heaphones and put them over the XDA ones - they stay in a treat now.
It's quite possible that the default headphones that came with my vibrant are defective, but I noticed that one earbud is substantially louder than the other.
In particular, the earbud that has the mic inline on it is the one that is louder. I'd say it's maybe 30% louder than the other earbud. I ever tried swapping them in my ears to rule out if I might be going partially deaf in one ear
Does anyone else have this issue?
yea I got my vibrant about 3 days ago, and I have noticed the same thing. I may call customer care or go up to the store to get it looked at or exchanged.
I noticed that too, those headphones sucked anyway for listening to any music/movies. I cut off the one side without the mic and now use it for a wired handsfree device for when i'm driving.
PS - My other headphones work great so at least it's just the headphones.
With my iPhone or Blackberry, I can plug in earphones (without a mic) and talk directly to the phone and the other party can hear loud and clear. This way I can talk hands free with any earphone. However, with the focus I am unable to do this. I plug in earphones and I can hear everything okay, but talking to the phone is completely useless. No one else can hear what I am saying. Do I need to activate the built-in mic? Or is the mic on the phone just really terrible? Do I need to have an earpiece with a mic for this to work? If so, I feel that this is a huge negative..

it depends on the minijack that you are using, some will contact the mic ring and then the phone will think your headset has a mic and thus will disable the phone's mic.
the aux cable i use for my car is short (or is missing the ring) and i can listen to calls through my car speakers and just talk out loud and the phone hears it. i have yet to have anyone complain that they can't hear me.
so, maybe try another headphone cable and see if that helps.
some phones have this function built-in, if not you cannot use it.
Hello folks, got the G6 via mail today and everything was fine until I tried to enable the HiFi dac and then I was devastated.
It played music just fine then I switched on the hifi and it would pauce but instead of playing again it stops and all I get is a hissing noise with some weird dial up Internet sounds
Am I missing some box I was suppose to tick? I factory reset and it did not fix it. I feel it's a hardware issue and needs to replaced.. thoughts? What's wrong?
Here's a video of the problem: https://youtu.be/1Y62BTECLy8
All comments appreciated, thank you
i think you can not enable the dac while youre headpone is connected , you should first enable it and then when you connect your headphone it wil recognize the impedance and then the dac is automaticly enabled
hmmmm ... on low-impedance earbuds, it doesn't come on at all, although i can enable it and it does nothing. on high-impedance headphones it comes on automatically.
no the dac is made for 80 a 100 Ohm and higher offcoarse
I want to put your mind at ease. This happens to me sometimes. What kind of headphones are you using? If they don't have an in line mic then you can sometimes get some weird sound cutoffs with it. This has to do with the headphone jack being a "smart" headphone jack. The headphone jack has to detect impedance after all so it has to have some tech that won't be in your run of the mill headphone jack. Trying plugging in something with an in line mic just to verify and also you can trying jiggling and rotating in the jack with your current headphones a little bit.
This happens to me occasionally when I try to use aux cables in my car. It can get weird. It also sometimes interprets movement of the aux cable as pressing the pause button on an in line headphone mic controller etc. I wouldn't be worried about it until you troubleshoot this part.
Attach a 50 Ohm or higher headphone and the DAC will be available.
Headphone used is the ATH M50x
I got hope from your posts, went to a nearby store to try out the G6 they had with my headphone
Theirs had no problem playing with HiFi Dac enabled with the M50x, so it definitely is my units problem which sucks.
*Update*
Where I live, India, LG thankfully has a DoA program (10 days) where they replace it new at the service centre after a bit of formalities are done. Good news, I'll get a new replacement through them instead of shipping the phone to the original seller (with my money) and getting a new replacement from seller.
Just to double-check...
Guys,
I'm in the process of buying a smartphone mostly for the sound quality (so I can ditch my Nano), Wifi, screen, waterproofness and GPS functionality as I'm a semi-permanent traveller. I have expensive earbuds that I'm very happy with and that I'd like to keep, having compared them with 25+ (?) others. HOWEVER... Am I interpreting these messages correctly if I start thinking that with my 16 Ohm (@ 1kHz) finding any audiophile quality on a smartphone is just a pipe dream?? That would be terrible news...

The headphone jack doesn't function like it used to. The sound that comes out is distorted and the vocals are unheard. I don't know what's wrong. The only way I can hear vocals is if I go in accessibility, hearing, and go and change the sound to the left.
Sounds like either your headphone jack is broken, or possibly your headphones themselves? Try using some compressed air to blow out the headphone jack possibly. I upgraded to Nougat months ago and haven't had an issue.
Have you tried different pairs of headphones to make sure it's not the headphones? If it's not the headphones, cleaning out the headphone jack doesn't work, then factory reset and see if that fixes it.
