Guest seanspotatobusiness Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I can't get any of my earphones with built-in microphones to work (it sounds like I get only a limited sound frequency range). Does anyone else have this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ahtinurme Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 The problem is that ZTE has some pins in mic/headphones input in "wrong" order compared to normal. Meaning with regular headphones you will get that kind of sound. I heard that Nokia headphones have the same problem and they should work, haven't tried yet though. I "solved" the problem by taping the mic button so it will stay on all the time, but haven't had the time to search for suitable headphones with tape cable, since I don't like regulars.

Guest popoyaya Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 AFAIK it's Apple that use non-standard wiring so iphone headphones with mic don't work on android phones, you need a set designed specifically for android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest geefunk Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I use iPhone headphones, and the mic works perfectly well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest seanspotatobusiness Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) I wasn't clear. I don't know whether or not the microphone is working and didn't want to address that. The problem I'm experiencing is that the sound delivered to my ears is not the way I expected it to be. Edit: it's distorted and kind of sounds like I'm underwater. Edited January 5, 2014 by seanspotatobusiness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kashoggi Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yes, this is limited frequency range. You're getting the edges not the middle vocal and it is for the reasons stated above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could a software hack switch the ground and mic pins around? Edited January 12, 2014 by seanspotatobusiness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
