Issue with wired earphones and handset mic

Thanks. I could use mic on beats, but could not adjust volume which was on full.

Hi Team,

I've come across an issue where the phone is plugged in with earbuds (with no mic) and i usually talk straight to the phone, but the other caller cannot hear me.

I've also tried hooking up the TB to my car aux jack and make a call, I can hear them through the speakers but they cannot hear me thru the handset .

Has anyone encountered this issue? this to me is a major drawback and almost a deal breaker for me.

thanks guys

Someone gave this tip a week or so ago and it works!

Menu- Settings- Call- TTY Mode- TTY VCO

I tried it and it allows you to talk through the phone's mike when you have a jack plugged in for speakers/headphones/car. I couldn't find it anywhere in the owner's manual and I wish HTC would have made that the default to save us all a lot of pain, but thank goodness for these forums!

This seems to be working for me. Thanks. The status bar now says TTY, but when I turned it off in settings the status bar still had the TTY logo in the status bar. I had to restart the phone to get it to disappear.

Apparently the TTY VCO option isn't working. I tried it this morning. Guess I'm going to have to get the aux connection with the mic.

What about using the Seidio headphone mic adapter? I was curious about this option for my Droid X. Are you supposed to be able to use wired headphones to make calls with? I have a headphone/mic set at home but it also has two jacks on it; one for the headphones and one for the mic so I'm not sure if those would work. Plus, the chord is really long.

I tried wired headphones with my Droid X yesterday. They worked fine. The person I called could hear me and I could hear him in perfect stereo. No extra buttons to push or options to enable/disable. Yet another reason to love this phone.
