Power Beats by Dre mic not working with HTX One X - HTC One X

The HOX has Beats Audio inside but somehow I'm not able to fully use my Power Beats with my phone as the mic work work most of the time. I actually got it to work once after resetting the device with the headset plugged in, but since then, nothing.
The original headset works perfectly, but still I would love to be able to use my regular headset with my phone. Any fix

well it should work without any problems but if you are rooted then you can try this mod:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692233
its effect is system wide and
u can also goto your music and play any song and then click on the 3 dots on top right corner after that you will find an option for sound enhancer
there you can choose beats audio or other options{ may be this option is on stock ROM also} u can try checking it

on and off
Hello all,
After a few more tries, here what I picked up: While plugging my power beats to the One X, the "headset+mic" icon could be replaced by the "headset" icon. When it's the latter, the mic works flawlessly. Whenever the "headset+mic" icon is displayed, then the mic won't work.
Weird, especially when it should at least be the other way around. The question is, what can cause my phone to recognize the same headset as a regular headset or as a headset+mic?

What is your Rom code? I think you are using AT&T or Tegra 3 Chip?

Is everyone aware of most beats (except for HTC editions) are made for iPhone and iPods? That means volume.buttons on there will not work, the Mic might work but since its not native to android there will be some bugs

I can't seem to find the ROM code ... @ZeroInfinity, I understand that and that's why i'd like to pinpoint the bug causing this and hopefully find a fix for it. If it wasn't working altogether I wouldn't even bother. But when it works then don't, I guess there's a logic behind it

No actual "rom" section mentionned

I opened a thread about the same problem not so long ago as I searched for a solution and not seen this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1860611
It only occurred when I updated to 2.17.. On 1.28 before hand the beats worked flawless! Just hope it's fixed in next update (miss my daily music!).. Works sometimes just takes a good few times (unplugging headphone/plugging in headphone) and have give up as i don't want to damage my audio jack!

Related issue. . .
So I have an HTC One X+ and powerbeats. My issues/question is this--can I completely disable the inline remote? Because when I wear mine in the gym, after a while (clearly related to perspiration/moisture) the music player will start to randomly skip to the next track. I love the sound/fit of the headphones but it's unbelievably annoying to have it just start to skip 2-3-4 songs at a time while I'm running! I don't need/use the mic/controls so I'd be happy to just simply turn them off.
Any and all thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Best blue tooth headset.

Anyone to recommend a good Bluetooth headset, a set with music controls 3.5mm jack for your own earphones and a display that would display the id3 tags or file name. Of course be able to answer calls.
I'm using a Nokia one at the moment but its not very responsive, dunno if its because of the old Bluetooth 1.0 compatibility.

Sony MW600.
Thanks for the recommendation, so I bought a set after reading positive reviews. Connection was easy and very quick and responsive. But one fault is that the phone itself starts ringing on incoming calls the and some signals through the headset. Weird doesn't happen on my old slow unresponsive BT headset (Nokia) at least the phone didn't ring just signals through the headset bit embarrassing when your phone goes off and you answer on a BT headset.
Any settings that could fix this?
I have resetted BT pairing and the headset but still same.
Anybody use this with wildfire?

Are you using any custom roms? I remember that cyanogen rom has some options about ringing in headphones, if I am not mistaken.
Also, did you test it on another phone to see if it's behaving the same way ?

I am using Wildpuzzle 0.8. Checked media and phone audio is connected. Have tried it on a Nokia and same thing happens. Can the headset be updated or something? My way round is to mute the phone when I connect the headset but this is so inconvenient when sometimes I forget to reenable sound.

Try this: Do a nandroid back-up and flash CM7. See if the problem still persists.
If not... I`m out of ideas. Maybe try to get a refund?
I have read many threads with same complaint, now realising It's a feature of most new smartphones (dunno whether its just android or not) that phone always rings with Bluetooth headsets just in case for some reason you take out your earphones for some reason.
I'm a little reluctant to switch to cm7 waiting for it to be stable first.

I think it`s normal for a phone to ring via the speaker even with the headset connected. Maybe they just need to add an option for it.
I meant testing CM7, not switching to it completely. A 30 min job to test CM7 and restore nandroid.
Hi
Just got the MW600 as well, very pleased so far.
I have the same issue, phone is ringing as well - whereas it does not really bother me.
There are few things not working well for me, so I was hoping to find here some feedback:
- No Song titles are displayed (not so bad since it is normally clipped in a position where you can not easily check
- the call-button does not work to call somebody, only to take a call
- the play button does not automatically start playing HTC music - but worked with Winamp and Songbird
Any suggestions ?
Original Rom (l have 2.2.1 nie) have Sound quality issue over a2do. HTC support said, I must wait for next update (when they may be fix it)

Hello,
i use Jabra BT3030
http://www.productwiki.com/jabra-bt3030/
3 years of working, without any problem
Ok, I really start to like the SE MW600 a lot
If you get a call music stops and you can take the call with one button.
Double tapping the call button re-calls the last person you phoned - works good as well.
But I am still not having the ideal media player
Original HTC music player fails to start up automatically when you tab the music button
- but next song/pause works well
Songbird opens automatically, next song/pause/... works well but searching in a track not and it is rather heavy making the phone really slow
Winamp is probably the best, but I still think it is too heavy
Does anybody knows a good light media player with bluetooth support ?

Yep one of frustrations with the one x tbh. You may get it to work by disabling Bluetooth, then turning it back on and then in settings / Bluetooth make sure you hit the settings icon next to the Bluetooth device and then enable the media connection by tapping on it, though it probably reports connected anyway.
Then back in music, select player and again try selecting the car.
I have to fiddle back and forth with these settings 4 or 5 times before I get mine to work, and should at any point in my journey my stereo turn off even for just a minute (filling up with petrol) I have to go through the whole process again.
It becomes a total exercise in pure frustration... Sometimes even when it reports connected, you go into music and press play and then you can even see it fail to connect meda wise on my car audio (a little icon indicating media connection drops completely)...
Nightmare..
Yet it remains connected for phone calls, so it has to be something to do with the music app, beats integration or such..
In the past 18 months I've had a Nokia Lumia 800, Nokia N9, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, blackberry torch 9860, blackberry bold 9900, HTC sensation, HTC sensation XE, and a galaxy s2..... None had any issues with streaming audio to my car as well as Bluetooth calls. The HTC One X is the only phone I've had with this issue...
If there was one reason for me to get rid of my one x, it would actually be this as its something I like to use three times a day, and so far it's just so erratic it really is peeing me off..

[Q] Background audio louder than voice on Youtube with 3rd party earphones

Well, the title says everything. The sound on the phone is great for me, there's no issue playing Youtube videos inside the browser, music plays just fine, beats on/off doesn't make any difference and external speaker doesn't have this issue. There's no equalizer installed and I can't figure out what to do to get this annoyance fixed.
I'm using the latest stock 4.0.4 update and my One X is the international version. I'm still playing with the stock firmware to know better my phone. I did the same with my old SGS and that helped me to choose the best ROM later.
Thanks in advance.
I knew this could be a not answered question, because the lack of info and not enough testing. But that's OK, I kinda sorted it out.
I was testing my HOX with two earphones, one from Galaxy S, other from Xperia Mini. As they are in-ear, I never bothered to pull the HOX earphone from the plastic bag. So I finally did it and with those freaking lids in my ears, it works. Then I did noticed the different headphone icon on status bar, it has a button on it. The others are recognized without that. Quite promptly I inserted one of the old earphones and pressed the answering call button and guess what? With the button pressed, it works just fine.
My guess is that HOX is very restrictive with the earphone support. And now I change my question, is there any way to recognize those earphones properly or is it a hardware limitation from them?
Thanks again.

Audio Distortion

So, I have this very odd issue. And it seems to be regarless of ROM. Anytime I use google voice search or make a voice call, after my M8 switches back to music the play back sounds almost like I am listening it through a fan. And the weirdest part is that it doesn't matter if it is hard wired or through bluetooth (either way using a bluetooth handsfree for the voice portion). Anyone else had any similar issues? Ironically I am pretty sure my M7 and maybe even my One X had similar issues.
In terms of set up, I use an LG HBS730 Aptx Headset for hiking and walking to work, then a pioneer bluetooth enabled car stereo but I hardwire for the music (calls switch over to bluetooth). Both have the same issue. Only way to fix is a reboot.

This is the first time I've seen this issue. I've tried stock Sense, GPE, and currently run SlimKat, and don't have the issue. I'll either listen through the main speakers, or a Jaybirds BlueBuds X (amazing BT headphones) and haven't had the issue on any of the ROMs.
I'd be interested to hear back if it happens with an AOSP ROM.

Headphone not detected?

Weird thing started happening to my phone: when I plug in a pair of headphones (with or without mic) the phone does not detect that they are plugged in! Sound always comes out of the speakers. I've used apps like SoundAbout to force sound of the headset jack and it seems to do the trick. But as you know, this just spoofs the phone... it still thinks it's using the speakers so you'll lose mic capabilities.
The odd thing is that if I turn off my phone, plug in a pair of headphones, and then continue to turn my phone back on... once booted the phone will recognize that it has a pair of headphones plugged in and everything will be fine. Won't work when I unplug and try to replug. It only detects the headphones on boot.
1) Is there a solution to this?
2) Anyone know how the mechanics of this works? It seems like on boot it always tries to check if there are headphones... but something mechanical in the headphone jack triggers the check after boot (may mean I have a mechanical failure)?
3) Is there a way to force headphone mode, more so than what Soundabout does? It's a pain to lose the mic, I use it a lot.
Here are other pertinents:
- Running newest SkyDragon Lollipop GPE rom with Sense Firmware... don't think it's the rom because it worked just last week
- Only recently started happening, not sure what could have caused it
- Noticed the phone always tries to update HTC Service pack, I think I fixed that issue
- Have yet to try cleaning, need to get rubbing alcohol
Thanks for any help anyone can provide me.

I was experiencing the same problem and I know it is not the hardware since I was able to go back to 4.4.4. GPE and get music thru the headset like you. I tried to get an answer from other contributors but they think it is the jack. Anyway below is what I've wrote to get help.

Thank you for the feedback on personal data. (I appreciated it)
So I've did a factory reset and start flashing the "Stock Google Play Edition Rom LXR22C.H5" rom again.
Since I'm Rooted, this is the one I've flash: RUU-HTC_One_M8_GPE_5.0.1-3.11.1700.5_rooted
I've followed the instruction on #2031. Everything else work.... again only plugging in the headset into the jack, does switch music from speakers to headset.
As mentioned before I've upgrade my Stock AT&T HTC One (M8) to GPE 4.4.2 and automatically received all the updates OTA to get to 4.4.4 (Audio was working thru headset and/or speakers with no problems)
The only problem with 4.4.4 is that you don't have access to SD storage. (though I found a patch to update in the system, but haven't tried it)
I like the speed, simplicity of 5.0.1. That is why I keep on trying.
Also I tried changing the Kernel - using skydragon kernel (still same problem with audio). But when I used the kernel for 4.4.4 of GPE, the booting hung at HTC logo before it showed the dead android.
So I'm lost for option other than using an app to manual switch to headset from speaker....(bummer)
Anyway new ideas to proceed are appreciated.

Yeah that makes no sense why it would be hardware since you reverted back to 4.4.4 and it worked again.
The other reason why I don't think it's completely hardware is that, as I mentioned before, if you turn off the phone and then leave headphones plugged in while booting up the phone will recognize them. However, unplugging after boot will permanently lose headphone detection until you leave headphones plugged in during a fresh boot.
I'm thinking that either the software is not calling IsHeadphonePluggedIn (hypothetical) when the hardware is triggered (headphone plugged in), but always calls IsHeadphonePluggedIn when the phone boots. OR, the hardware trigger that tells the phone to call IsHeadphonePluggedIn is truly broken leaving cold boot the only method to detect headphones.
Maybe I'll try downgrading at some point but the weird thing is that I swore this was working without any major ROM updates... like just last week! For the time being, I'm using bluetooth.

Not sure if you've ever used Tasker but you should download that. They have a trigger for "headphone plugged in," and I'd be curious to see if it triggered when you plug in your headphones. You could just have it play a sound or something when it senses headphones. If that works, then it's whatever service handles that hardware interrupt, not the interrupt itself.

Yes, I have and use Tasker. In fact, I have a Profile for headphone or bluetooth headset detection. This is how I know the phone is definitively detecting my headphones on boot—the designated Tasker action triggers and I get the Profile highlighted as active.
When I unplug the headphones, Tasker responds accordingly and runs the exist task and the profile is no longer highlighted. When I try to replug, Tasker doesn't do anything. Headphones not detected.
Another tidbit I've discovered:
- Safe mode doesn't help with headphone detection. In fact, there is none even after cold boots. Tried safe mode to isolate any 3rd party apps that might be causing issues.
- To clarify about reboots. The phone needs to be shutdown completely and turned on while the headphones are plugged in to detect. Issuing a reboot via APM doesn't really work, I don't think.
Straaaange.

I'm checking in again to see if anyone solved the headphone detection issue with 5.0.1. As you mentioned about powering down the phone (and not reboot) does detect the headphone, but after you unplug the headphone it revert back to the speakers. No change when you reinsert the jack for the headphone. I've tried all custom roms that uses 5.0.1 and none works with the headphone. Right now I'm still running GPE 4.4.4 on my AT&T One M8. I really like the features of 5.0.1 but not interested in a dual approach to listen to music in my headphone. Let me know if anyone find a new technique that will work with our M8. (I don't think anyone have been able to get the AT&T version of M8 to work with the headphone on 5.0.1.....If I'm wrong please share......)

I did come across a solution, but it may be unique to me. It's entirely hardware related. Just inside the headphone jack, there is a small connector. I used a pin to pry it out slightly. After doing this, plugging headphones in works like normal. That outer most pin must be the trigger that tells the phone to check if there is a headphone connected.
However, as I mentioned, even without this pin being activated I can still get the phone to detect the headphone buy just cold starting the phone. It may be a difference in how 4.4.4 and 5.0.1 uses the hardware on the phone. I have no clue, it's annoying nonetheless.
So give that a shot!

Interesting.....Did you open your M8 to pry the pin? I tried looking inside the jack but can't see any pin. Plus I looked at the disassembly video on you-tude for the M8 and said, no way (smile). So I'm willing to try but I can't see the pin you're talking about. Is there a diagram you can point me too? Or provide more information. Very much appreciated...

Haha no way I'd open the phone. If you look into the headphone jack with the screen facing up, the pin should be near the 1'o'clock position. It's hard to see so use a flashlight or something. It's very close to the opening, 2-3mm deep only.
Maybe you need to change the whole headphone jack. There's a DIY video on youtube for it. Just give it a try if there isn't any other solution.

Well I've reinstalled 5.0.1 and tried digging into the jack, trying to move the 1pm pin just a few centimeters....well I finally gave up. I was not able to make it work and I got concerned that I would damage the jack, which will cost me a fortune in repair bills. (smile)
Thank you for recommendation....I guess I will use the soundabout app until AT&T release the one for our M8.

Can you explain in more detail when you say "wipe the data".....Are you referring, go into recovery and do a data wipe? or go into an app (which app) and clear the cache or something?
If you can give me the step by step procedures I would appreciate it.
Also did you try this on a "AT&T HTC One M8" versus a HTC One M8? because I'm beginning to notice that there is a very slight difference between the two.
Thanks,

Thanks for the advise....
Geee.......I've been using these Klipsch headphones for all my mobile phones and it has been working on 4.2 to 4.4.4. Once I've upgraded the rom to 5.0.1 audio stop going through the klipsch headphone. Going back to 4.4.4 (lucky I made a Nand backup) it started working again. So I tried several different methods from several people and nothing worked.
Since I tried, what you said, resetting the phone....and of course it still didn't work with the Klipsch headphone.
dah....are you seeing the pattern. Finally the light came on and I decided at the last minute, before restoring 4.4.4 rom, was to find my old Bose headphones and try it.....Wow. It worked but I had to try plugging it in and out to see if it continued working.....AND...yes it continue to play music through the Bose headphone. (tried the Klipsch again and had the same old - not working)
The only difference between the Bose and the Klipsch is that the Klipsch has three rings on the jack. The third one is used to control the player....i.e. skip/stop/pause. The Bose has only two rings on the jack....(just music input)
For others that are experiencing the "No Music thru the headphones" when you install 5.0......check the jack for two vs three rings.
Thanks again for the insight.... (problem solved - closed case)

If you do want to use your klipsch headphones, however, you can just use a standard 3.5mm extension cord in the middle. I've used this trick in the past with an old Nokia and my htc earphones
