Just wanted to check is anyone else is finding that headphones plugged into this jack often are not picked up by the phone and the speaker is used instead.
Happens both with my car AUX and my in ear Klipsch earphones, although if I jiggle the plug it sometimes works. The bundled headphones (MH750) so not seem to suffer this problem.
Is this a widespread problem or an issue with my handset?
the MH750 has 3 rings on the jack as a opposed to the 2 rings on the connector for your other headphones am I right? Having the extra ring on it (meant for the remote) may be what is adding the extra tightness when inserted. I'm not sure how to solve your AUX problem but you may need to try headphones which have a built in remote like the MH750 so that it has the extra ring on the connector. This may also be a defect, as I can not confirm since my device is still on it's way.
EDIT : After receiving the phone this happened to me once. You have to play around with the smart connect settings o disable it all together. It doesn't seem to be hardware related.
i have the same problem here .

I hate making new threads but I can't seem to find an answer. Maybe I'm using the wrong keywords.
I use my N1 in my car alot. It's my main source for my music and hand's free calling while driving. I use the aux jack on my stereo to the N1 for music.
When I get a call it would ring though the speakers and I would touch the slider to accept the call. The caller would hear me crystal clear and I would hear them though the speakers just fine.
Now when I get a call, they can't hear me. They say I sound like I'm far far away. I can hear them just fine. But I look like a madman in my car screaming and yelling just to be heard.
So what I have to do now, is answer the call, and touch speaker, which only plays the voice though the speaker phone. They hear me crystal clear but sound is no longer going to the car speakers.
Anybody have this problem or know what's causing it or even a push in the right direction?
I have this excact same problem.
I came from a milestone using a standard 3.5mm audio jack and calls went really well. But when i tried my nexus, i got the same response, "sounds liek your far away".
I tried a few AUX cables but they all seem to do the same thing. So my solution was a aux cable with a built in mic.
I ended up modding the headphones that came with my nexus to get this working. Removed the earbuds and soldered a 3.5mm jack.
Now when i talk using that cable with a built in mic, ppl hear me very clearly. So i've jsut been using that cable since. I'm sure you can buy a premade aux cable with a mic at any local mobile audio store. I saw one at a BestBuy mobile here.
Hope this helps.
but the issue is that at one point it DID work normal with his nexus. i think what is going on here is the phone originally read the aux input as just standard audio output. but now its reading it differently somehow, i just dont know why. its almost like the difference when a phone thinks you have headset connected vs audio out connected with no mic support. no idea on a solution though...

I was thinking on buying the Belkin one with the mic right at the aux jack.
Hope this helps.

Exactly, it DID work. I can't pin point when it happened for me. I was thinking maybe it was when I went from Eclair to Froyo?
I'm almost positive that using the phone over Aux out broken with the update to Froyo. Has anyone tried this yet with Gingerbread on the N1 or with an NS? I'm hoping they fixed this, it's a really, really frustrating problem.
My fear is that everyone at Google got free car docks so they won't ever fix it because it's never a problem for them.
I also have the exact same problem. Thought it never worked for me, I only recently sets up my car mount with aux. Anybody found a solution?
Not sure to whom I should direct this. The issue I'm having is when using headphones with a regular TRS plug the onboard mic is disconnected. This makes sense as most people use headsets but it would be great if the onboard mic could be forced on somehow so I could keep using my favorite headphones. Right now I'm have to take my headphones off and pull the plug for calls.
EDIT: To be clear I'm looking for a software solution to my problem.
Anyone think it would be possible to cook up a script to force the phone mic on while using standard headphones?
I used to listen to my songs using the AUX input with my Xperia Z1 in my car radio. But now, (I don't know if this ahve to do with upgrading to .757) it won't play and it says that the headphone isn't compatible. I'm just using a P2-P2 cable plugged in my AUX car's radio input and in my Z1 phone output
That is impossible. That cable have nothing sophisticated to tell to the phone that isn't compatible and the jack have audio out only. I use that system too in my car to listening Unz, Unz, Unz, and nothing strange jet. Somehow you have to get rid of that notification.

It works with my xperia neo. Also, neo's headset dont worlk with z1, but thats because they have microphone and the ground ring was changed in 2011+ xperia phones...
I can't plug my Z1 into my Makita site radio, it doesn't play anything through the AUX, although the phone seems to think it's got headphones plugged in. Tried a few cables, some newer and some older with no variation in results.

This suck. And it's very weird because it used to work..
I've got a strange problem with my M7, currently running CM12.1. I use a cassette to AUX adapter on my old cars radio to play music through the speakers. When I start playing the music when it's plugged in, it seems to skip the songs indefinitely, as though you're holding the skip button, this happens on both the spotify application and the 'music' application. My guess is the phone thinks the cassette adapter is sending it commands or something like those in-line controls on earphones. This only happens when using the adapter, works fine using my sennheiser earphones. I doubt it's the adapter itself, because I've bought two of them and the same problem arose. It used to work about a year ago, could damage to the phones 3.5mm jack cause this? Remember, my earphones work perfectly.
Cheers.

Probably the cassette adapter, I don't think they designed those to be used with smartphones back in the days. I would insert the cassette adapter in the radio and take some voltage and resistance readings on the jack. There shouldn't be any voltage, if there is, that could damage your phone. Compares the resistance of each contacts on the aux jack with a set of earbuds that are equipped with a "next" button (and press it), you'll maybe found the same resistance value... Might also only be caused by the audio jack not having the same connections than a standard audio jack.
So I haven't use the earphone for 2 months cauz I used a Bluetooth earphone. However its broken now which switch me back to use a wired earphone which I was using before I bought Bluetooth one. But it doesn't work anymore(I tested on other devices earphone worked fine), and what surprised me that is the earphone only worked one side(right) after I install an app to force my phone to switch sound to earphone mode but the other side just won't work.
Below are things I tried,
1)cleaning the headphone jack
2)resetting the whole phone
3) using other headphone
4) disabling mono audio in setting
Well they don't work, is there anything else I can do?
