Headset mic not working

Hello there! I’ve been using m’y FP2 for a couple days now and I’m pretty frustrated because I cannot use my headset to make calls because the mic doesn’t work. I’ve tried with an ear plug set as well and I had the same mic problem. Both devices are fairly decent and I will not ne purchasing a new one. How can I make private phone calls without sticking my FP2 to my ear? Have a good day!

Well, there is this one: Headset mic not working

Hi, thanks. My headphones work but not the mic & volume controls that are on my headphones lead.
Also, the little metal tab has broken off at the entrance point of the headphone socket in the top of FP2. The headphones sound still works but not sure if it was just there to secure the jack plug or as some sort of contact?

I think it is/was the microphone contact. So I find it logical that your microphone doesn’t work.
You can buy a new top module which contains the headphone jack at the Fairphone shop.
