Hi all,
I have a brand new Note and I'm not sure that it's working fine:
When I plug the included handsfree in the jack, and yes all the way in until it "clicks", I have the following weird behavior:
- sound on phone conversation comes from handsfree but microphone active is not the one from the handsfree, it's the one from the phone
- when using Skype, sound comes from phone loudspeaker, then when I unplug the handsfree the sound comes from the phone earspeaker, then when I plug the handsfree again the sound comes from the handsfree... and while all this the active microphone is the one from the phone
I have no way to check whether it's the phone or the handsfree, both are new from unsealed box, I think I suspect the phone, and more precisely the phone is having a hard time knowing when/if its handsfree is plugged...?
I have another 10 days to return the phone and get a new one, anything that I'm doing wrong or shall I return it?
(It's a white Note running latest 2.3.6)
Thanks for your help.
As an update, I read that the Skype issue is... well, a Skype issue and that they're working on it...
But the problem remains with the microphone of the handsfree, still not working, not working when making phone calls, and not working with the application "Voice Recorder".
Any setting that I have to use in order to enable the handsfree mic to work and not use the phone microphone when the handsfree is plugged in (all the way until the click) ? I wouldn't think so but asking just in case before raising hell at the store so they give me a new one.
(BTW the phone's not rooted or anything, all stock 2.3.6)
Thanks for any feedback.

What is the silver button on the original handsfree kit meant to do? when i have an incoming call it wont pick up so, so is there meant to be another function to it or something? thanks
i second that also
this key doesn't answer the incoming call
is there someone else has this problem ?
anyone actally used the handsfree kit?
The wired one? I use mine all the time, answers calls here, and a double press makes it dial last number..
hi, i'am also having the same issues.
the silver button does not pick up calls.
has anyone found a solution for this?
I have the same problem
I live at HK
I have been to the Service Center,
But denied it is the handfree fault but the rom bug..
I argued with them, then changed to a new handfree,
but the problem still there....
Hi everybody,
I'm new here and very grateful for all the brilliant solutions you guys come up with to all sorts of issues with x1.
I have the same problem with my hands-free: the button doesn't work and neither does the microphone. Until now, I've thought of it as a simple matter of replacing the hands-free kit, but now I see the suggestion that this is a Rom bug! Will anyone be able to elaborate a bit on this?
thanks and best regards,
Sune
Really not sure it is real or not that is a rom or software bug,
but sure quite a number of problem of people experienced such problem!
I hope SE not to put a death ear on this issue.
It is really annoying as I quite often used the handfree.
hello everyone
the same problem on my russian x1 handsfree. Have tried to fix it with some patches - no results. Then I've bought Nokia Xpress music handsfree, and it works perfectly (and radio works too).
update
VERY SAD, but it doesn't fix the problem. bad quality of X1 jack - thats the problem. Xpress key doesn't answer the incoming call periodically too, but handsfree itself working good all the time

The first time i got to know the headphone dosen;t work in answering call, I really feel astonished. It is such a basic function of phone, how can the genius of SE dose not test it. Do them think we will buy another handfree???
Really disappointed of SE.....

Hi I'm Chris from Sri lanka,
Yes, I have the same issue! The handsfree seems to work when I remove it and re insert the jack during an incoming call, but not initially! It is very temeperamental and annoying. I also have a problem when I get an another call when I'm already on a call while using the handsfree. The current call goes to speaker phone and the party cannot hear wht I'm saying through my handsfree!
So I am forced to remove the handsfree and talk during such instances! Crazy this, especially since answering phone calls is one of the core functions of a cell phone! what's the point in having all the frills when answering a call is so tedious!
This is very disppointing, especially with such a high price tag to boot!
same case here. im really disappointed...
i guess that if i can when asus glaxy came out i will change mi xperia for that one... this phone is really "buggy"...
Same probleme here unfortunately.. I tried to remove all
additional programs related to dialing and volume,
switched to the new ROM, but no changes. Button on headset
does not work and microphone neither.
I also have same issue, both HK new stock ROM & cook rom also.
i'm form India, had purchased Xperia X1i and using Airtel network. when i connect my hands free and attend one call the moment second call come, automatically my loud speaker gets activated.
is any facing the same problem in Indai or any where else? will any one help me this.
is there any solutions?

Samething here, and the above works for me too (Remove and re insert), but SE really need to fix this for us.
I believe it's a hardware problem, bad 3.5mm jack!
My right earphone's volume has fallen to one tenth. I have it for less than a month. Good listening but bad manufacturing quality.
Personally I don't think it's bad hardware, I think it's bad firmware/rom.
Currently, with GENERIC UK ROM R2AA010, three presses of headset button dials last number, long press disconnects. Not tried incoming call yet.
I really need to be able to customize this buttons function, especially to activate Voice Command, so that I can make calls, play music etc, without the need for touching the phone. Only then, will I be able to make a button for the handlebars on my motorbike.
Want to use a fully wired system to save on battery power, rather than bluetooth. Also, in all the years of using bluetooth, I have yet to find a combination of handset and headset that work seamlessly.
So far, not impressed with the lack of functionality of this headset, but can see why it works like this. Essentially SE should have included Voice Command, then this hardware/software combination would have been shipped working effectively. I think it is merely a cost saving exercise and SE need to provide a patch and fix in their next rom release.
Hi!
I have one black X1i SW ver R3AA010, GENERIC_UK rom.
Great phone, but i have problem with the wired factory headset.
If i have call, phone playing ringtone, and i want receive this call, but no effect. Another problem is mic is on the phone enabled, not on the headset - in ear-phone mode.
On another forums reported same problem.
I see now only one solution:
1.,Unplug Headset from phone
2.,Incoming call, after hearing rintone - plug in the headset
3.,Problem is fixed..., but only to next soft reset or next unplug
Is there any registry mod or cab fix to this?
example : manual headset mode on/off
pls help me, thank you
As you mention, the problem has been scarcely discussed in other threads (and forums), but no one's seemed to find a solution. I'm not even aware if the headset problem is a general flaw in X1, or we're just a few unfortunates.
I won my X1 in a competition so I don't think I'm really in a position to be pissed off, but this defect is indeed a MAJOR drawback, and it surprises me it hasn't been criticised more loudly in e.g. reviews and forums.
The problem smells to me like a firmware issue (though I really don't have a clue), i.e. something that our friends at Sony Ericsson (are you out there, guys?) should be able to fix in an update, but they don't.. :-(
Anyway, my workaround is to make sure the headset is 'armed' in advance whenever I want to be prepared for an incoming or outgoing call. E.g. before I hop on my bicycle, I 'simply' make a short call to whatever number, e.g. to my voicemail, and as soon as there's a connection I plug in my headset and hang up. Now the headset works - I test it by pressing the headset button twice, which should initiate redialling the last number used.
In any case, it shouldn't be necessary to make such arrangements! My previous mobile was a crap, crap Nokia - but I miss it because its headset worked like a charm.
In fact, just out of curiosity - if anyone reading this has an X1 without any headset problems (i.e. mic and button not being responsive), please speak up. Maybe we can then isolate the problem.
Hi all,
It seems to me that I've the same problem explained here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4782712#post4782712
Summarizing, when I've the headphones plugged in, I randomly automatically make calls to the latest contact I've phoned. I'm almost 99% sure that it's because the cable which have an internal broken wire which launches the phoning call order (I'm not pressing the headphones button before you ask it).
So it seems that I don't treat my headphones properly (they are too fragile in my opinion ). These are my 2nd HTC official headphones by now and I've no intention to buy a new ones because they work perfect except for that, so my idea is to block that signal in the PDA.
Is there any way to do that? Via registry is it possible to block that signal/order?
Any help is appreciated!
Same problem here
Hy, I've got the same problem with my HTC Diamond. When I have my headphones plugged in it makes undesired calls or starts the Voice Speed Dial.
It's really annoying and I'm thinking of getting rid of it because I can't listen to music anymore on it (with headphones on).
I'm really curious if there's a way to disable these functions.
Same here...
I always thought I was pressing the button on the wire.
I since dumped them and bought a standard usb-3.5mm adapter to use with some other headphones

Yes, that's my purpose...buy headphones 3.5 but I'm afraid I'd lose the radio option
I have a problem with my unrooted Xperia Z with a locked bootloader. My main speaker does not work for any media like music games or videos, but works fine for loudspeaker calls. Also the earpiece speaker doesnt work at all. Another problem i found was that my microphone would not work at all unless it was in a call and i was using loudspeaker. The final problem is that when ever i plug in my earphones, google now pops up and sometimes my phone starts playing music automatically throught the earphones, when i remove the earphones, instea of stopping the music continues but the speakers dont work so it just keeps playing them silently. If anyone knows the soultion to this, please respond as ive searched everywhere and i have not found one solution yet.
UPDATE: i used the application soundabout to reroute the audio and the calls are now fine, the only problem is that when i plug in my earphones the google now problem persists. If i plug in earphones with a mic, i dont get any of these problems and everytime i want to use my internal speaker for media, i have to manually re-route the audio to them. Anybody know a solution to these 2 problems?
I do have the exact same problem, I tried different ROMs and Audio Mods (at the moment I've got a stock ROM) without any change.
Did you somehow fix it?
Exact same problem, i run stock android 5.1.1 build 10.7.A.0.222 locked boot loader. Problem suddenly came up last week during vacation, quite some time after I did OTA upgrade to 5.1.1 - so this is not related to ROM updates.
After installing soundabout (thanks for the hint) the rerouting did not work immediately - i had to set phone to earpiece and media to speaker in the app and reboot for it have an effect.
I think the root cause is, the phone thinks there are headphones connected, when there really aren't. If I use the UKW radio app, it starts and shows headphones as output-icon right away - it should actually complain that there is no reception without phones because the antenna (headphone cable) is missing. Since it doesn't complain I guess that's the culprit.
Any hints how to fix that, without using a rerouting app? (kinda stupid, using bluetooth speakers and so on now needs a manual setting change in soundabout).
I have that phone for more than 2 years now and used headphones maybe twice with it, so a busted headphone-jack is out of the question too.
Guys give it a try.
Thanks Ess Arr, that really works!
Hi,
I've recently gotten the Mi5 and one issue that i have discovered is that when i connect it to the car hands free (Toyota Yaris with Toyota Touch 1) It doesn't let me speak and i can't hear the person on the other end.
There is a workaround where i would have to on the phone swap the output from Bluetooth - Handsfree - back to bluetooth and then it starts working again. I'm not sure its possible to replace the stock phone app on the device but although there is a work around it defeats the purpose of hands free calling if i have to do that while in the car!
Anyone have any ideas for a fix?
Thanks,

I did forget to mention that it worked fine with the Oneplus One it just appears to have this strange bug on the Mi5
Hi gavrai,
I have the same bluetooth issue. But when I answer the call using my phone I can talk using my car's audio without using the 'Bluetooth - Handsfree - back to bluetooth' method.
I am running the MIUI Global 7.2.4.0.0(MAACNDB) on my Mi5 connecting to a Volvo V40.
When I connect a HTC M7 or M8 to the car everything is working ok.
Hope someone has an idea
Maybe we should check the Xiaomi forums if there are any.....
I've got a mi5 and if I'm listening to music and then use the speaker of the phone, i.e. make a call, receive a call, make a voice recording to send via FB messenger or voice recording to send by text, then, when it switches back to music/podcast/bluetooth, the music/podcast starts skipping, like a record. I cannot figure out how to stop this glitch from happening. I've had one or two updates since I got the phone but this keeps happening and it's really frustrating. The only way I can stop the skipping is to turn off my bluetooth and then turn it back on. Any one have this issue or know how to fix it? Thanks
