ok so apparently for me even the htc headset that came with my phone doesnt seem to want to work :S...
is this true for everyone or is my htc IS just messed up?
I used it in miui, arhd and virtuous.... is it possible that there is a hardware issue in the phone :S? any way to check?.... the mic symbol does show up on the phone though just no voice goes through?
this is a bell/virgin IS with S-off, and eng boot...
any reply back will be really helpful cuz im about to chuck my phone against the wall
... the handsfree build.prop change (from development section) works somewhat that i can hear myself talking on mic.... but no voice is going through to the other end :S....

You are not alone - have same problem and have tried multiple rom images.

thats sad.... kills the device for me nicely that a simple thing like that has a bug

Handsfree was working well with htc stock rom. It wont work on cyanogen and miui roms.

doesnt seem to want to work for me with any custom rom :S... oh well

I too have the same problem. It's a bit disappointing but overall phone is great with custom roms.

mmmm do u people (whomever) has the issue... mind telling exactly what phones u have and what carriers and stuff.... this has to be a software issue somewhere cuz it was working on stock roms...

My headset ( htc ) worked without a problem on the ORIGINAL stock rom aka. 2.2 ( or was it 2.1 ) when i updated to the OFFICIAL 2.3 rom via the built-in upgrade now feature in the phone it stopped working, so in my experience it seems to be a 2.3 problem or smthing

so it seems as if a drivers problem in gingerbread for us :S... everyones from a different country...
unless somehow the manufacturing is not as solid as i thought...

- so i seem to have gotten my htc headset working with virtuous 1.29.... I had to flash another kernel (unity v3 in my case) ... and the headset started working, has a little echoish sound ... but better than nothing

I have the same issue here : IS with Orange France
So problem started with stock rom. HTC headphone ok, iphone headphones ok, then i bought sennheiser CX880i and then i mic was not properly detected and never able to get a sound out of it.
Had the same issue with custom rom later on : Virtuous unity. So i buy another brand of headphones with mic today : Klipsch S4i ... same issue with custom rom virtous unity 1.31.
will try other kernel to see if its the same...

it is worse with this kernel as now my iphone mic is no longer recognised...

[SOLVED] [Q] Lollipop call audio issues (+ is safestrap compatible with LP?)

Had this issue on all Lollipop ROMs I've tried. My earpiece (+headphone jack) is faulty, so I set all my calls to the loudspeaker. Worked fine on KK and on my first days of Lollipop, but then even speaker stopped working. Being unable to make calls, reverted back to KK, working fine (considering I have de earpiece HW issue). Now switched back to Lollipop and it happened again. Tried routing all audio to speaker with SoundAbout, no results except for the first time after installing the app. Speaker works great for everything else, so I'm suspecting of something about how LP routes HW-related audio (calls coming from the network and, I think, FM radio - never used it in my phones, so I have no clue) and SW-related audio (everything else, which comes from file reading, handled by apps, like music, whatsapp audio and notifications) or some issue with the apps and libs (and whatever else) related to calls.
So I'd like help in the following points:
1. Is it possible to revert everything system-wise related to calls to their KK counterparts? Is there a good reason for it not to work well, theoretically, so I shouldn't even bother trying?
2. In case 1 isn't possible, is there a way for me to check everything that should be working about call audio, see what outputs and stuff like that I was supposed to get, and compare these to the ones I get, on testing? I can provide logcat with SoundAbout on and off, if needed;
3. Since it's only happening in LP, should I suppose that this is something related to the earpiece+P2 jack issue that KK ignored, but LP isn't dealing well with? I'm going for a new jack (I think the earpiece issue is caused by it, because it stopped working about the same time my jack was broken beyond repair) in a couple of weeks and this might be solved, but this issue is driving me crazy already. I could live without the earpiece. I could even live without being able to listen to music on my way to work. But it's really sad to need to revert to KK in order to be able to make calls, with the amazing work devs are doing on LP (tried 3 LP ROMs and fell in love with all of them, visual, speed, functionality and stability-wise).
In case nothing works, I considered multi-boot with safestrap, my current LP as "stock" (I don't know if there is a limitation to actual stock FWs in the stock slot at safestrap, could somebody point me this?) and a KK FW (stock or custom, really don't care in this case) for calling. I make few calls a day, but those are very important, so I could spend some time in KK to make calls if I could reboot to LP and enjoy the best of it. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance for any input. Sorry for the long post (I like to give al the details I can and explain my resolution tries and thoughs on the OP to prevent the need to comment a hundred times) and for the awful english.

If your earpiece and 3.5 mm jack are damaged why don't repair your phone?

Safestrap hasn't been compatible since Android 4.4.
And unfortunately you can't downgrade either, not without likely bricking.
But if you're flashing roms, you must have an unlocked bootloader, so why would you need safestrap?

Oh, There's no way to "multi boot" on the moto X.

CM12 call audio updates seem to fix the issue. Will report back after I get my earpiece replaced.
Sent from my ghost using XDA Free mobile app

Update: the issue seems to happen if one has a damaged earpiece and installs the whatsapp mic fix. So if anyone out there has this issue, you have to choose: call audio on speakers or recording audio on whatsapp. Will report back, but I have been running for a couple days without issues.

[Q] Audio Jack keeps detecting headphones

A week ago I updated my Xperia Z (6603) to lollipop from android 4.2.2. After this update every seemed to work well except for the speaker that all of a sudden didn't work anymore. At first I feared a hardware fault but then i noticed a notification from Smart Connect saying that the headphones where connected except they weren't. This explained a lot since the phone was indeed acting as is there were headphones connected. After this discovery I tried a lot of solutions I found on the internet.
I tried to plug in and plug out my headphones.
I rebooted the device.
I downloaded the app Sound About, it worked but it would mean that I will forever need to change the setting in the app if I wanted to listen to music on my headphones or over the speakers.
I fiddled in the headphone jack with a toothpick (??)
I reflashed the Lollipop firmware and tried different regions.
After that I tried reflashing every Sony Firmware that I found on the internet. I found out that when I reflashed to the first Android 4.1 Firmware that my speakers started working again. Giving me hope that this was indeed a Software problem and not a Hardware failure (since my warranty has ran out this March). After that I flashed Android 4.2.2 and everything was still all right. But then when I flashed to android 4.3 and it resulted in my original problem. And the same with Android 4.4.4 and ofcourse 5.0.
After I week I'm getting quite desperate since I now need to carry my headphones around for if someone calls me. Another problem is that I can't downgrade to 4.2.2 since last week I also bought an Android Wear device and I need at least 4.3 to be able to use it. So I was hoping that maybe some of you guys know if this is a commonly known problem. So if you are familiar with this problem and are able to help please post your solution below. I'd be extremely greatfull!
edit: To be more precise, it all goes goes wrong with Firmware 10.4.1.B.0.101.

I have updated my firmware to 5.0.2 about 5 days ago. It all goes fine until now, not experiencing any of your problem eventhough with KitKat Firmware 10.5.1.A.0.230 or Jellybean 10.4.1.B.0.101.
FYI because I've unlocked my bootloader and can't received OTA or PC companion update, so I download and flash the FTF using Sony Flash Tools.
Have you tried C6603_10.6.1.A.0.454_HK.ftf version? It works just fine for me.
And let me know whether your bootloader unlocked or locked.
==================================================================
Device = Xperia Z C6602
Firmware = Lolipop 10.6.A.0.454
Bootloader = Unlocked
Rooted = Yes

Thanks for the reply, I did try that firmware but sadly it didn't work for me. And my bootloader is still locked. Does that matter? It also tried updating OTA or Sony's PC Companion but both with similar results.

Since your bootloader still locked, unlocking it will lost your TA partition (can't use bravia engine on album). I've lost it because I don't backup the TA. So, if you plan for unlocking it, be sure backup your TA.
Don't know what to say, because Mine work just fine. But I believe that was Software fault because you've said that just fine on earlier Firmware and THE MOST IMPORTANT it's work with Sound About. Glad you still can use your Speaker although kinda annoying for keep changing the setting to swap between speaker and headset. I'll try to work around to find any way out for your problem.

A headset contains microphone but a headphone doesnt.
just insert the headset but dont pust it hard leave a little space. If you see headphone icon and not headset icon play any music. When music is currently playing and you hear sound on the headset just push the jack hard to lock. The headphone icon must still be a headphone icon. If it change to headset(thats the icon with microphone) icon repeat the process....if you insert jack on phone directly and push hard to lock , you will see a headset icon, in this setting you can never hear music.

this is a mystery bug in xperia z NEVER been fixed. i also have this problem yet i gave up already .. im running custom rom Lineage OS 14.1 nighties still have this issue.

There is no solution am afraid its been 2 years am facing this problem and use sound about to change to speaker or headphone
my friend had this problem before but he fixed it by changing that thing where you plug the headphones .

Sound problem when calling solved by custom ROM?

My friend has a problem with his galaxy s4 active. His microphone and speaker work perfectly when testing with music and audio recording. But when calling someone the speaker is dead silent and the other person can't hear him. I saw a bunch of threads where they reheat the audio IC and so on. He is running android 5.0.1. Now my question is: is this a software problem and can it be fixed by flashing CM? Thanks for any and all replies.
Edit: If you're wondering I know how to flash custom ROMs and have a lot of experience doing that.

I have the same problem, no sound when call via telephone app. Videos and music are prefect to. The best is when I use WahtsApp and call to someone everything is ok. So I think hardware is ok but something is blocking standard telephone application. I reset my phone (wipe) and reload rom but the problem wasn't gone.
I'm still looking for any solution so maybe someone can help.

Samsung headphones are not working too.

Xperia Z Sound Problems Since Lollipop

Hi, i've been with my Xperia Z since 2013. In that time my phone was working good until the 5.0 Android Version. After i updated to that version, began some problems with the sounds.
*Notifications, Volume Up, Calls - Working Good.
*Sounds like voice notes, music, videos or youtube sounds doesn't work. Even when people call me i have to speak through handsfree. It's only fine if i put the headphones. Record my voice or any sounds only works if i put the headphones.
So, that's the problem. I downgraded to 4.2.2 version and the sounds worked fine. I upgraded from 5.1.1 to 6 or 7 version and is the same with the difference that i'm able to record voices or sounds without headphones. But still can hear normal sounds without headphones.
What i can do. The problem is since 5.0 version. Why i didn't hear about this problem, there are not many people with my problem.
EDIT: I tried with a lots of ROMs and finally found out what was the last rom that the sounds was working good. Was the 4.3 10.4.B.0.569. Since the 10.4.1.B.0.101 sounds is working bad.

Well you're talking about it, i had the problem since the beginning with my Z, and a phone without earphones by incoming calls is useless, so I looked for another device for the daily use because i found no solution.

I found out that if you buy the jack audio flex replacement you fix it. I was looking for fixing by any update since that firmware but, i don't see anything.
