Hi!
I bought a third party headset off ebay so that i could use a microphone with a 3,5mm plug to regular earphones. The problem is that I hear almost nothing. At first, I thought it didn't work at all but after cranking system volume to 100% i can barely hear music (and people talking to me). Is there any way to raise the volume even more? A registry entry perhaps? If not, could someone recommend a headset with microphone and a 3,5mm plug? Probably I bought a bad headset...
Thanks,
Gustav

I love the N1 and am using it in the car by plugging the headphone jack directly into the stereo for phone/streaming audio/navigation.
When a PHONE CALL comes in. I have two choices:
1) I can hear them crystal clear over the car stereo...but the cant hear me because the Mic gain is at normal level. Or...
2) Hit the speakerphone button and up the Mic gain....but struggle to hear them as it switches over automatically to the tiny Nexus internal Speaker.
Looking for a way to have headphone output WITH mic gain at speaker phone level. Anyone know of a fix/app for this? I havent found it after searching high n low.
Help greatly appreciated, I know there are several of us out here trying to find the solution. Thx.
When I make/get a call while having my phone plugged into my car stereo's Aux input, the call volume is very low. I previously though it simply wasn't coming through at all, but I happed to get a call while the engine was off, and could just barely hear the call volume through the stereo. Even after cranking the phone, stereo & aux level setting in my stereo, the volume's still too low to be used while driving.
Is there a fix, setting, or work-around for this? I really enjoyed using this as my hands-free solution.
One more thing, when I use the stock earbuds with a mic that came with the phone, the volume's fine. I know the phone recognizes headphones with and without a mic from using Tasker.
Thanks in advance!
I just recently purchased some new earphones (Sennheiser IE7) and when I plug these into my HD7, they randomly activate the speech recognition options (even though I have disabled this in the settings), adjust the volume and pause Zune playback.
Cheaper earphones don't do this when plugged into the phone and nor does a Bluetooth headset, it only seems to happen with these particular earphones.
Has anyone experienced this with other head/earphones or knows of a way to stop this kind of thing happening?
Thanks in advance.
I have experienced this also. When I use a male to male 3.5mm cable to my receiver the phone acts as if the -vol button is held down. This does not happen when I use a really cheap sony behind the head style earphone or the buds that came with it.
My guess is that its caused by the spacing on the connector (you know, between the little rings).
Try a bunch of earphones. If you're desperate, you could try splicing the connector of an earphone that works with the earphones you want to use. Otherwise I would say its not worth it; the audio components in the HD7 don't seem to have great quality anyway. I had a razr2 and the sound quality was better than the soundblaster in my computer.
I picked up the LU2, and I must say, I was deeply disappointed. It reduces the sound quality dramatically. Any high pitch noise just comes out as a screech. It doesn't always stay connected. It was just bad.
If anyone was unfortunate enough to buy this, some helpful tips:
If you have a three button headset, grab some electric tape, and keep the middle button pressed down. This will enable the headphones to work, but not the mic. It seems to work fine with one button headphones, including mic. If the music plays out of the loud speaker despite the headphones being plugged in, it usually suffices to just twist the headphones into the adapter. If it still doesn't work, unplug the headphones and replug them.
Despite all that, the thing worked. If you look at the 3.5" plug, it is made of four rings. One ring is the left speaker, one ring is the right speaker, one ring is the mic, and one ring is controls. The Xperia PLAY headphone jack expects the mic and control rings to be the reverse spot, hence the need for the stupid adapter. I've been looking for alternatives, and just picked one up on ebay. I'll see if that fairs any better.

Exactly what happens to me too , i've heard on the oneplus forum back on the day when the oneplus 1 came out there was a software bug wich could be fixed by modifying the build.prop ,tried that with no success , then i've heard about different types of connection standards on the headphone jack ( OMTP and CTIA ) Still wondering looking for a fix and if i'll ever find something i come back and let everyone know .
