AC Question

use phone microphone with earphones plugged in

i have a LifeProof case with the waterproof headphone whip installed. this forces the phone to think i have headphones plugged in...when i don't. it's just the whip. how can i force the phone to use the onboard microphone/ear speaker without having to unplug the whip? i know i could unplug the whip...but then i'd lose it and the case is useless.

thanks all! :)

Re: use phone microphone with earphones plugged in

Welcome to Android Central! Is this headphone jack plug made out of metal or rubber? I would've though that a nonmetallic plug wouldn't conduct anything, and therefore the phone wouldn't think a headphone was plugged in.
