microphone doesn't work while 3.5mm jack is plugged in? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Does this issue plague anyone else?
The microphone simply won't work when any 3.5mm jack is plugged in, regardless of whether it's headphones or a headset (with a built-in mic).
This is my 2nd phone, and I still can't use my mic when I have a standard set of headphones plugged in. Surely this isn't a design choice they made for the Z1?? What happens if I'm listening to music and I receive a call, do I have to UNPLUG my headphones and slap the phone to my face?
My gf's XZ works just fine with the 3.5mm jack plugged in.

It needs to be compatible with Z1 and it will work, afaik not many if any phones mic will work with headset plugged in if headset doesnt have mic or mic that is compatible to the three ringed plug.

[Q] External Mic for htc hd 2

Hi there. I hope someone will help me...Basically I need dictaphone for interviews so I bought "Olympus ME-52W Noise Canceling Microphone" and I tryied to use it with my htc hd 2. Phone is showing connected headphones but mic is not working. So my question is can I use external mic with my phone or is it related with software? If someone know the answere pls help me!!!!!!! btw I use Resco audio recorder
The problem is because the connector on the mic is probably the same as a mono headphone plug. The phone thinks that you have headphones plugged in. The phone has a socket that accepts 4 pole jack plugs. That is it requires a special plug that has contacts for both left and right audio as well as for the mic.
If you really want to use the mic I would go to somewhere like radio shack or mapplins and buy a 3.5 mm 4 pole jack plug and a couple of sockets. You could then wire up your own adapter to let you use the mic and also a pair of headphones or speakers at the same time. The pin out for the plug should be easy to find on the net and so long as you can solder I wouldn't see any problems.
Other than that plugging the mic directly into the phone will defiantly not work.

Adapter with mic support

Hello
I have Jabra wired (not Bluetooth) headset with mic. It is very comfortable for my ears. But unfortunately it is 2.5mm, not 3.5mm. I bought 2.5->3.5 adapter off eBay and while it is fine with music, there is a problem - it does not send sound from Jabra's microphone back to HD2.
So people do not hear me at all, or hear me very bad, because basically they hear me from phone's mic, not Jabra's mic
I know that HD2 works fine, because mic works as expected with included HD2 headset.
Any suggestions ? Besides buying different 3.5mm headset or moving to BT ?
Does your headset and adapter have 4 pins?
I think you should use a 4-pin converter, cause the headset uses a additional pin to transfer the mic signal.
how would I know how many pins are there? It is rounded, do not see any pins :-(
Yes its rounded, but in 3 or 4 contacts separated.

[Q] Output audio through aux during call

Is it possible to have the phone output sound through auxiliary for phone calls if the attached aux does not have a mic. For example if I plug it into my car speakers, or if I wear headphones not made with a mic. I'm not sure if its just a problem with my phone that doesnt allow this, it shows the headphone icon yet for phone calls it still outputs through the earpiece. Calls output fine if I use a earbud that has a built in mic.
This has been an minor annoyance since I got the phone a year ago and I've been hoping after all the updates they would finally fix it.

External microphone

I want to use voice control in my car but haven't had much success using my Bluetooth visor speaker. I was thinking I might be able to wire a microphone near my face so I can use that to control things in the car.
I don't really want the headphone output connected to the car speakers (maybe sometimes) so is it possible just to connect a microphone to the headphone socket and still have the sound come from the phone's speaker?

When I plug the earphones with the adaptor to USB mic doesn't work

Hi,
When I plug my cable earphones using the included usb plug adaptor, seems that the Mi9 cancels the Mic, both the mic from the earphones and the mic from the phone.
For example when playing PUBG, I can hear but can't tak bc mic is cancelled ... is there any way that the mic, at least of the phone is not muted when earphones connected with cable?
Thanks!!
