Root "Headset" Issue.

imtrin · Oct 30, 2011

So I was recently, finally, able to flash my LG optimus m to CM7.1 (Reppard's mod I believe). Before my phone was able to answer calls and play the call audio through my earphones and allowed me to talk through the phone's speaker, so I didn't really need to buy a phone headset. Now that I have "upgraded" the OS to gingerbread (2.3.5) from Froyo (2.2.1 and 2.2.2), I can no longer do that. I've noticed that when I plug in my earphones during a call, a headset icon appears on notification bar on the top of the phone; I can hear the call audio through my earphones, but the the phone's speaker doesn't pick up what I am saying. Is this something that is lost through changes in the OS or am I just missing a setting somewhere? Thanks for the help and your time.

Welcome to the forums!

These problems are often device-specific rather than Android-generic, so I've moved your thread here to where other LG Optimus M owners may be able to help.

I think its the rom, i personally use beats and could always hear them talk when i answered a call but could never talk back. Either that or you would need like a bluetooth device. Other than that Im pretty much stumped too :\

It's a cyanogen issue. I asked this question in bobz thread with no luck

Have you tested my last release to see if this is still broken?
What's not fixed is wired headset mic not working.

Woops. I thought I had signed up for email notifications for this thread. I ended up ordering a bluetooth headset. Thanks for the info though. Glad it wasn't me being a noob.

Updated and yea, it's still picking up headphones as headset.

Has anyone found a fix for this issue yet? I have been waiting for this since reppard's 9/20 build.
