Lately when I make a call with headphones on the person on the other end cannot hear me..I will be listening to music. Pull up the contact. Music fades. I hear phone ringing. They answer I hear them fine but they cannot hear me..Very frustrating especially since this is a business phone for me...Any ideas? User error (I hope)?
 
Are you using general "listening to music" headphones, or headphones with a mic? NO phone I've had would let you talk when "listening to music" headphones were plugged in (not that they don't exist). It might not be the phone that is messing up...

I will change heaphones but I am almost certain I have been using these for quite some time and have used the phone w/ them. Could be wrong tough (happens quite often).

I switched over from a Pre to the Hero, and it was possible to use the Pre's built-in microphone to talk while using regular headphones.
