Problem with phone calls over car aux

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?

3.5mm jack problems

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 .

[Q] Moto G suddenly stopped playing music and sounds through earphones

Hello there. I own a rooted moto g 2nd Gen, which I bought 3 months ago. Today, while I was playing Sonic Dash and listening to music through my Nokia wh 208 headphones from Google music app running on background, suddenly, the music stopped. I opened the music app to restart the music, however I no longer listen to it through my headphones. I rebooted the phone, but no luck on returning the sound to my headphones. I downloaded sound about and if I force stream the media sound to earphones, then I listen to the sound again through them. I conn3cted the earphones to a nexus 5 and they work fine, no soundabout app needed. Please, tell me that it is NOT a hardware issue, although it seems like one. I played sonic and music on the background several times before and every time the music stopped, I pushed the play button and continued playing through my earphones.
UPDATE: I tried Nokia WH - 205 and Nokia WH - 101 . Both of them were not recognised by Moto G and music was playing through the speakers. However, I inserted a 3,5 mm Jack to RCA cable and connected it to my Stereo Receiver and the music started playing again through the stereo receiver and not from the phone's speakers...
UPDATE 2: I also tried a 3,5mm jack to 3,5mm jack to connect it to my car audio unit and I can hear the sound and music from the car speakers again. So, it seems to me as an incompatibility issue with Moto G and Nokia Headsets. Am I wrong??

Moto G(2nd Gen) earphone non-compatibility issues
I recently switched from a Lumia Device to Moto g 2nd gen(not rooted), well the first thing i tried was my WH-208....i didnt work...there was sound output from the speakers of the mob though....
If u visit Mototola's site theres a post about this....unfortunately i cant post the link here cos im a new user..
do chk it out
the compatibility issues has something to do with the earphones ,,,basically the "Earphone standards"
so it goes like this...Most nokia earphones are of OMTP Standards and Moto G 2nd gen supports only AHJ Standard ones...
so i guess u( or i) cant use the nokia earphones on the Moto G

Hmmm, funny thing, they used to work when I bought the phone and for 2 months from then, but now they don't. What earphones do you use now? I am thinking of buying the iLuv Neon Sound.. What do you suggest? And, please, do send me the link you mentioned above through a PM. Thanks in advance folk.

I bought today the orange iLuv Neon earphones. The sound is back on my earphones. It was a compatibility issue indeed and had nothing to do with the jack. Thanks folk.

@xenocyte
Im facing the exact same situation with my new sennheiser cx-215 earphones
its a crap situation tbh
Dammmmmn, looks like its time to fork out for a new earphones
On a side note, can you please elaborate what exactly does OMTP and AHJ standards mean ?

Well, long story short: you might have noticed that the 3,5 mm jacks consist of 3 black rings, separating the metal into four pieces. The lowest one receives the sound for the first earpiece. The one above the lowest receives the sound for the second earpiece. Now, the difference between ahj and omtp is that the ahj jacks use the third metal piece for the microphone and the fourth for ground, whereas an omtp jack uses the third and fourth metal piece the opposite way (third for ground and fourth for mic).

@Jimisballjohn
Thanks for the clarification mate
But the sennheiser 215 has only 2 black rings around it, separating it into 3 divisions. Would that still count as incompatible ?

No problem folk. I've just checked that your earpieces do have only 2 black rings, which means they don't have a microphone. Hmmm, strange. Did you use any other earpieces to check if the problem is still there?

Skipping audio tracks using cassette adapter

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.

Headset work one side only and its problem of the phone

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?
