This past week, when I plug my earphones (with mic) into my nexus 4 phone, the mic works but I can not hear anyone talking. But they hear me perfectly.

Is it a setting in the phone or bug with the update?

I really think it's not the earphones itself...

Thanks for your help...

Obvious q. Did you try a different pair?
Try the headphones on another device?

It could be a dirt build up in the audio jack you can try to clean it, or you could look at this https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/2eVRjUXPS-A%5B1-25-false%5D. A friend of mine had a similar issue and I replaced his. You can buy a new one here http://www.parts4repair.com/earphone-jack-plug-flex-cable-for-lg-nexus-4-e940/?ref=lexity&_vs=google&_vm=productsearch&gclid=Cj0KEQjwopOeBRC1ndXgnuvx8JYBEiQAq4RPt1FxNwLmqT0HNw667-mEfqhHFTCf8r7hKnJKxsnXtrMaAmGN8P8HAQ
If it was a problem with the hardware in the Nexus, then why would the mic work but not the ear piece?

I feel like it's a setting or something on the phone...
