Anyone else noticed that the mic is muted whenever you plug something in the audio jack? This means if you are plugging your phone to the aux port in your car, you can't make/receive calls unless you unplug it. On the focus it worked fine. You can test it by starting a call, then plugging anything to the jack - mic is muted right away. Couldn't find any settings to override this either.
I don't have that issue. I plug my phone into the aux port all the time and it works fine.
Yep

I have the same issue. Was great to have a conversation while plugged into the car audio with the Focus. Now we're limited to the speakerphone, which just isn't loud enough to be useful. Maybe when the Diagnostics app gets mapped out better we'll find a setting...
Probably gonna buy a cheap headset, cut off the ear buds and splice the wires to a cable with a 3.5mm jack.
It would make sense for the internal mic to be shut off when a headset cable is plugged in, since the working assumption (I guess) would be that there is a mic on the headset taking over. It's most likely a 'mechanical' shutoff in the jack itself, with no 'checking' to actually see if there is a mic connected on the cable or not.
The issue is, the old focus, the Titan, and about all other cell phones don't do this. They allow the internal mic to work while using the 3.5mm jack.

If I receive a call while I have headphones connected through the USB connector the ringer sounds through the phone speaker as well as the headphones (Normal profile). On every other phone I've had, inserting headphones into a jack socket mutes the external speaker.
Is this peculiar to the S730/Wings or the custom USB connector? Is there a fix or hack for it?
I could put the phone on vibrate but then I wouldn't hear the ringtone through the headphones - or probably remember to switch back to Normal when finished!

thats odd, mine just rings thru the headphones, not the phone speaker.
sometimes the music comes out of the speakers eventhough the headphones are plugged in. this is very stupid when im in the bus or train....
it suddenly happens and cant be cured (need to restart)
how can i avoid this?

The ExtUSB port is designed with a metal contact on the square side (on the "back" of the port) to detect the headphones. Make sure that the contact is made. This may or may not be the problem; but it's a good starting point.
I'm thinking not in my case because the ext speaker is muted for music but an incoming call will activate it?
It sounds like something software related but I don't know where to look.
I had a look at a friend's Kaiser yesterday and that does exactly the same thing (and I tried their HTC media controller in my Wings), so it doesn't look like it's exclusive to this model.
Yes. This was posted also by darksider:
if im listening to music with any application through the earphones, it makes-that the sound is at once also playing through the phone speaker, and i have to restart
hey i have the same problem....
if i am listening to music using the headphone and i become a call, then the ringtone comes through the speakers and also the music that i am listening to.
this is a big problem..
thanks
any solution??!?!
I suffered the same problem in the bus, and was very embarrassed because everybody looked at me and I didn't notice...
You have to report this problem to HTC (or reseller). More responses = better chance to find the solution in upgrade. But you HAVE TO DO IT!!!

hey,
I usually listen to Pandora in my car on my N1 , i have the aux cord so you know it goes to speakers. but when i get a phone call i have having to unplug the aux cord just so they can hear me. I can hear them fine through the speaker in my car. I guess its like this because N1 assumes i plugged in a headset and cuts off the internal mic. how can I use the internal while I have a aux or just plane headphones plugged in.
Thanks
PS im running CM7 build 31 nightly

When I use pandora with the aux cord and a call come in, I just talk like normal, they can hear me and I can hear the caller on my car speakers. How far away is the phone to you? Mine is mounted only like a foot away from me.

i put the phone right to my face haha
I have the same issue, I think its because of how far the phone is, however I usually just use the speaker phone, then once the call ends the music resumes
Hi,
I have a strange problem with an i9000 i got second hand.
The phone would not go to headset mode with normal headphones (without mic).
It would sometimes go to headset mode with headphones that have a mic (usually after making a call), but would go in and out of headset mode, stopping music and video playback.
When i start a call i would hear through the phone speaker for about 2 seconds and then it would go to headset mode (meaning silence). Then if i connect stereo headphones i can hear the other person, but the phone would freeze. if i connect a headset (with mic) then everything is ok (audio through headset).
What i have ALREADY tried:
Performed a software cleanup (as well as formatted the internal SD and tried a lot of ROMS and kernels).
Replaced the headphone jack.
Cleaned the contacts where the headphone jack replacement connects on the board.
Still the same problem.
I have no warranty on the phone.
Any ideas?
No one?
Please help, my phone is unusable.
Hmm i'm not sure but I think it's a hardware problem.
I think so too, but i have already replaced the headphone jack.
Could it be on the board itself?
Is there an app or a mod i can use to force headset/speaker mode?
I've never heard of such an app, so I don't know if there's one.

Has anyone else encountered this? Sometimes if I plug headphones in and listen to music, then unplug the headphones afterwards, then the speaker would not work. I would have to plug my headphones in again, pull them out, and the speaker would work again. It's almost as if the phone thinks headphones are plugged in even when they are not, and routes the music to the headphone jack instead of to the speaker.

I don't have this issue with the Z3C though i had this issue with my old Xperia S, after couple of months use this resolved it self. must have been a contact point issue in the headphone jack it self.
Diferent
What has happened to me is different, when I'm listening to music on the earphones and then I stop the music and close the Walkman app, and then I play it again I can't listen to anything, If I use the volume controls to turn up/down the volume nothing changes, and I need to unplug the earphones and then plug them in and it works fine then.
I don´t know why this is happening.
Sorry for my bad english
I like to use my auxiliary input in my truck to listen to music, but when a call comes in, people can't hear me and I have to unplug the stereo jack and use speakerphone or earpiece.. I also have to unplug and plug in the aux for audio to come through the speakers sometimes. I'm unlocked and rooted on 5.0.1
Any ideas, similar experience?
