My (uk o2) XDA has no audio, when I try and make a call it connects but there is no audio at both ends. It says speakerphone is ON. Also there is no audio from media palyer alarms etc. But audio OK with headset.
Dont know how I entered speakerphone mode, cant seem to exit it. I know you are supposed to make a call then hold the call button for 2 seconds but this does not switch speakerphone mode.
I have done soft & hard resets still the same.
I have entered the boot loader and run the self test and audio + mic are OK.
Running 3.14.13 ROM & 4.14. Radio sw
Any help appreciated
My last thought was to reload the PPC ROM & Radio stack, done and still same the sam problem, no audio & stuck in speaker phone mode?

Bad luck - this has happened to me twice (at last someone else it has happened to - I thought I was going mad!).
I'm afraid it's back to the shop for a new handset. Did it come from Carphone Warehouse? They upgraded me on my last swapout to a 64Mb version.
rgds,
Spoke to o2 customer support today and they have asked me to send it in to them, swap out would be nice as I had some dust under the screen, 64 mb would be fantastic
But I'll wait & see, never thought of taking it to the "Link" where I bought it from it might have been easier and I wouldn't have had to listen to all that crud music & now press three...

This behaviour would be explained if the CAR_ON# pin (pin 19) on the large connector was connected to one of the power pins (the nearest being right next to it, pin 20). So check for a spec of metallic dust or a slightly bent pin before sending it back.
see http://xda-developers.com/connectors for details
I have the same problem, please help...
How do you solve this problem? I have tried to plug and unplug the headset and did a reset... still the only thing that comes out of the speaker is the ring. The only want I can use the phone or hear anything is to use the hands free... Please help.
I also experienced once a similar problem. In my case the bug was a simple mechanical one. You know when you plug your headset it simply disconnects the speakers. In my cases it was stuck so even after I unplugged the headset, the speakers remained disconnected.
I solved it with using a needle and a gentle force.
Such problem started to appear with my XDA after usage of headset. Empirically I found that to bring phone back to ‘normal’ mode (no speakerphone) you have to to connect it to cradle or charger for several seconds. At least it helped me in all cases. I don’t know the reason – it sometime switches to speakerphone more itself without any headset.

I posted this over at PPCPassion too, and someone suggested I try here...just really looking for help. Here's what happened. I woke up, and my phone (TMo XDA with PPCTechs 64MB upgrade, 128SD card), which had been left on all night, doesn't work as follows:
-When I dial a call, I can't hear the other phone ringing through the speaker...and when the person answers, I can't hear them...nor can they hear me. The phone indicates 'Dialing' and then the duration time starts when they answer
-When I get a call, my phone rings, but when I answer, same as above, they can't hear me and I don't hear them
-But the speaker and mic DO work...I tested this using a voice memo.
-Also, same symptoms whether using spkr phone on or off
Any thoughts on this? It 'fixed itself' yesterday after I performed a back up (I was going to do a hard reset/restore). THen today same problem. Did the backup just to see if somehow that solved it, but this time it's not working. Before I do the hard reset I want to see if anyone else has any thoughts.
I really dont want to have to send this to TMo since my unit has 64MB from the upgrade...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. FWIW I'm not a developer so if you recommend technical things please explain them thoroughly :0
And THANK YOU in advance!

Had the same thing happen to me. Thought of hardware failure at first, tried similar things and came to similar conclusions. Tried SD Backup, then hard reset. Not solved. Înteresting that during backup one dll file seemed to be stuck (think it was a dll, although dont remember name).
In my case solved itself when I remapped the RECORD action to the left button. Very strange......
Any permanent solution or reason would be welcome....

How did you go - the symptoms are the same as dropping pin 19 to ground (for a car kit), you lose speaker and built in mic so make sure 19 isn,t shorting with 18, Steve
Speaker & Microphone not working
I encounterd the same problem - from one day to the other mic and speaker stopped working. When I connect power to the device using a USB sync cable mic and speaker are turned on again. It really seems that the XDA is set into car mode. :?
Assuming that pins 18/19 were shorted, I have cleaned the connector but this didn't help.
There's another thing which has happened to people: it appears the connector for the headphones isn't all that sturdy, so after a while the device thinks the connector always stays in. Not sure that would explain this behaviour, but just thought I'd mention it.
Same problem happened to me... help

Fortunately, my device was still under warranty. I had to return it to O2.
Headphone Mode?

Hi
My Qtek seems to be similarly stuck in the headphone mode. Any idea how to get out of it? Would removing the headphone socket entirely help?

Before anybody says use the search......
I have used it, but did not turn up anything on this although I am sure its here somewhere
I plugged in the wrong cable into my XDA a while ago (Medion PDA car cable)
This blew the fuse in the lighter fitting on the cable.....but......
Ever since this happened, my XDA is broke. I can use it as a Pocket PC. I can use it for email and internet but I cannot use it for phone calls.
The unit seems like it is constantly on speakerphone or handsfree. I try making a call and can hear nothing, either thru the handsfree speaker OR thru the main ear speaker. Whoever I call cannot her me either!
Then, I tried the headest in it. Now...I can hear the call, but whoever I call cannot hear anything!
Is this a hardware problem or a software problem???
Its really annoying me as the XDA itself is in great condition but just won't work
Try inderting and removing the headset several times or poke a cocktail stick making sure it doesnt break, this is a known problem with xda and headphone socket, it becomes jammed in closed position. I have also used a spray can of "switchgear", this is a lubricant for switches and other electronic things.
wow! that was a quick reply
thanks a lot
i have tried that but still no luck. i also tried the cocktail stick.
i'll get a can of oil in the morning like wd40 or something as you descibe.
in the meantime any more suggestions are welcome
Same Problem!
Hey, I am having the exact same problem with my Qtek 1010.. everytime i try use the phone it stays permanently on speakerphone and i can't hear anything... did u ever manage to fix the problem? thanks alot
No.
I never did have any success with it after. Ended up scrapping it
try blowing hard on the audio jack
been battling with this all day...
what fixed it is pluggin/unplugging the headset several times then removing the wired headset plug and blowing real hard inside the jack hole where u plug ur headset...common problem it seems, due to a hardware switch inside being stuck fooling the phone to think your headset is plugged wheb it is not.don't know if the rom can "sensitize" the phone to this problem i.e. make it more prone...
I use a wired headset all the time with my Tilt2 which crapped out on me (the phone not the headset) last week, the touch screen displays but no longer accepts input.
Got my replacement phone and FINALLY got everything loaded. WM 6.5 only it's the latest ROM and I had the previous version on the phone that died.
My problem is the wired headset isn't working like it did before. On the mic there is a button to simulate the send hard key on the phone. Press and hold it to activate Voice Command, tell it what to do and you know the rest.
Pressing the mic button does nothing at all. The phone shows the headset icon, the ear buds work and when I make/receive a call the mic works fine. Just the button doesn't work.
I haven't sent my old phone back yet which still works if you don't use the touch screen. Powered it up and plugged everything in and it works fine, push the mic button and voice command pops up.
I have checked as many settings as I could find but no luck.
The new phone has Vingo VoiceApp however I remapped the key to Voice Command and have no idea what this app can or can't do. Not sure I even need it.
That's it. Anyone got any ideas as to why the mic button works on the old phone and not the new? The USB adapter is the same one between the two and beyond that, I am lost.
Thanks!!!!
Come on... some one out there has got to have some info on this taht will help me. I have to send the old one back in a couple of days and I am begining to think the replacement phone has a problem if I can't find the setting.
Does your earbuds with mic use the 3.5mm jack or the mini usb jack? i bought some nice mic'd earbuds but they are 3.5mm jack not the usb i can hear everything fine but the mic doesn't seem to transmit on my end is this common and sorry to asking another question on your thread.
I should have updated this thread a long time ago. The problem was with my phone. Being a warranty replacement (read refurbished) something was just missing. They sent me another phone and it worked from the get go.
I do appreciate you trying to help. Props to ya!
Hi all,
to my great frustration, I've discovered that my SGS2 line-out / headphones jack seems to have a slack joint, i.e. if you turn a connected plug around its long axis, a crackling sound is heared in the speakers and at some angular positions the stereo signal will be reduced to mono (i.e. one speaker gos silent). With one device (mobile outdoor speaker) I even had no sound at all at when inserting the plug with the wrong "orientation".
Did anybody experience the same problem or am I just out of luck here?
I am wondering whether sending back the device to the retailer (Amazon) or directly to Samsung (I'm situated in Germany) will yield the faster round-trip time, any experiences here?
Thanks!
PS: I know this may be a stupid question but can somebody PLEASE tell me how to search for multiple keywords with AND logic in this forum? Tried "+word +word" and "word AND word" (without the quotes) but nothing seems to work.
Are you using the headphones that came with it? My better half went through 4 sets of the stock samsung headphones with her original Galaxy S and all produced the same issue of losing one channel after a matter of days/weeks. having the jack inserted to about 2/3rds is a workaround but not ideal as you still lose some frequencies and it's insecure... They're just a bit pony.
No, I used different kind of headphones, including Sennheiser in-ear headphones and a standard male-male audio jack connected to some bigger hifi system. With some jacks I did not encounter the problem, but most of them lost some part of the signal with some orientations: I persume that the manufacturing tolerance of the jacks also plays a role...
Anyway, it's definitely not a problem of the jacks but of the device since I tried it with the SGS2 of a friend yesterday and it worked with the same jack that made problems with my device.
I will proceed sending my phone to Samsung for repair, I hope that won't take to long *sad looking*, I am so used to it now, it's card to survive to weeks without it.
I had the same problem, all I had to do was insert headphones cable "HARDER" into the audio jack until I herd a "click" sound.
I was way to over protective of this phone when i first had it, and wanted to handle too much with care, forced the dam cable in, and "click", sounded like it snapped into place, the audio worked correctly without cracking noise or without the need to wiggle to cable get clearer sound.
Perhaps your friends SGS2 is already used to headphone being inserted, but yours not. Just add a little pressure until you hear clip into place.
If this doesnt help, then repair or return.
Thanks for the hint, but unfortunately I had the jack inserted to the very end, so this was not the problem... sent in for repair now, let's see what happens.
I have a fix for you i think!!!!!!!!
ok . when i got my s2 like 4 days ago (at&t usa version) i noticed that when i plugged into my aux cable in my car that it was low sound cracking more volume on the left side , very annoying . NOW FOR A SIMPLE FIX FOR SOME TO TRY! PLUG IT IN ALL THE WAY! i noticed when plugging it in i wasnt fully plugging it in . it should go all the way down FULLY! the sound is perfect once this is done . I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU !!!!!! good luck
Hi guys,
I need your advice here. I love the music capability of the v10. So my headphones is plugged in the phone all the time while listening to music. However, I noticed that 30% of the time when I receive/make phone calls the mic would just stop working. If I unplug my headphone and replug it back, about 50% of the time it will work again. The other 50% the phone call would end when I unplug my headphones. During all these scenarios the mic would work under speaker mode.
Is this a software issue?? Coz the mic obviously work flawlessly when the phone is unplugged or when it's on speaker mode. Would reboot the phone solve this problem or should I send this unit back to lg??
Thanks in advanced for your help!
I'm having the exact same problem you are. This happened to me once before and it just sort of fixed itself after a while. Do you see a weird little headphone chord icon at the top of your screen? If you do, it means that your phone thinks that a headset is plugged in when it's not, thus not allowing sound - such as music - to output from your external speaker. Mine doesn't even play music through headphones or allow me to hear anyone while making calls if I don't use speaker phone - the person I'm calling can't even hear me.
This is such a faulty issue - and a rarely known or talked about one at best. I'd take it up to your local carrier store and see what they say.

Thanks for the reply. I think I will contact LG. However, today I hada mic problem without pluggingin my headphones
Now I know the phone's mic works ~80% of the time. When it works, it works flawlessly. So, do you guys think this might be a software problem??
