the wired headset suddenly only gives sound on the right and nothing on the left. I changed to a new one and the same thing happened, wats wrong?
Check the ring on the head set jack
first you must check the ring on the head set jack, whether it consists of 2 or three rings. it should be three rings. if it still happens, maybe it is your jack socket has broken.. i remember that in this forum there is someone named fluffcat, he sell the hardwares.. he able to help you.
im not sure whether it is the headset's problem because other headsets react the same. Is it possible that it has some problme inside the system? Though, i haven't tested my headset in other ppcs...
*ps: i notice you are form indonesia, im from there too

I have completely lost the sound from external speakers and coincidentally this has happoened since upgrading to AP4 though I am reasonably sure AP4 was NOT the cause of it. But am posting to see if this has happened to any of you. I was using an external stereo headset in the 3.5mm jack and after pulling it out, the speakers on my 7501 don't work. The weird thing is the phone will RING out the external spekaers but the actual phone calls, media player or notifications won't play out the external speakers. It is behaving as if the unit thinks a headphone jack is still in the 3.5mm slot when nothing is there. The USB port headset won't work either which leads me to believe the unit definitely thinks a 3.5mm headset is plugged in when one isn't. Everything else works perfect. Thoughts? Solutions? Please help -- can't send it in for warranty work as I cannot downgrade back to the original HTC WM6 build because of the AP4 upgrade.
Plenty of people already experienced this problem. Try to use the search function next time.
Nevertheless, here's the solution (probably):
First set up you Athena to play some music, so you can hear immediately whether the sound is working.
Then, try to poke around in the 3.5 jack using the headset (or something similar in size). Inside the jack there's a loose contact which makes your athena think a headset is still plugged in, even when it clearly isn't. After some poking, your sound should be working again

To avoid similar recur best consider a good stereo Bluetooth for music and phone.
I’ve encountered before, repeating inserting a 3.5mm jack may not always resolve the issue.
You guys are the best! (Actually I did do a search but couldn't find the problem referencing the Athena). Anyway, wiggling the headset jack about twenty times in and out reset the loose contact and restored sound from the speakers. I will not be using the 3.5mm headset again. Thanks for the help!

This problem has beset all HTC devices from the earliest SPVs, a matchstick or paperclip often help but a BT headset is easier.
Same problem .... but still not solved
These guys really are the best.
I got the point as to what the problem actually is, Still after poking the 3.5 jack in and out many times the sound (songs n calls) is still not working.
though the incoming ring is working. any suggestions pl .
(Anyway because of this problem i downgraded to spl1.2 and now using mincy's 2.04. it even solved my TCPMP not playing flash vids prob.)

Just to make clear what is happening, the 3.5 socket mechanically disconnects the speakers when you plug in the earpiece. over a period of time the spring contact looses its springiness. this leads to a poor contact and off goes the speakers. by poking this contact you are moving it till contact is made. you are best stopping using this socket if it is showing these signs before you loose sound all together. I am sure you can have a new socket fitted but I bet it isn't cheap. As already stated its best to use bluetooth.
Hope this makes things clear

If you can get your hands on one, you might rather use a headset with a extUSB jack. For instance, the standard headset from the Touch Diamond works fine on the Athena.
i have an HTC Headphone set, that i got from a touch diamond, apparently when i was using it earlier the person on the other line was saying that they could hear static but when i used the USB Dongle with a pair of 3.5mm headphones they dont hear the static anymore, then i try to plug the headphones on the usb dongle along with the 3.5mm stereo headphones, i unplugged the stereo headset and left the HTC headphones on there, and the person said they dont hear static but when i take it out and just put the HTC headphones back in to the phone they could hear static
is there something wrong with the microphone on the headset? because i flashed a different ROM and still the same, but the good news is, is that i can hear audio from both ear pieces
plz help me out, thanks
I've had this happen to me before. Don't know why but a simple soft-reset seems to do the trick. BTW have you modified the Audiopara csv file to increase or decrease your volume in anyway? MAYBE that has something to do with it but don't quote me on that.
That stupid flimsy connector is breaking......well the wires inside are. I've been through 2 in 6 months
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
I have my Hero's original handsfree and since 3 days ago only 1 earpiece is working, same thing happens with my mp3's ear headphones and other handsfree from my friend, all of them work on 1 "speaker" on my phone. I mention that all the above work flawlessly on my friend's phone. First I thought it's the rom, so I changed the rom (Android 2.1, 2.2, 2.3) but with no success. Yesterday I tried plugging in my regular headphones (those that cover the whole ears) that I use on my computer and both of the "speakers" work. What can I do ? Small headphones suddenly aren't fully working but my normal headphones work great.
Everything was working great until 3 days ago. Tried on calls, Rom's music player, video player, youtube, some online radio player, different music players, video players, no results. Please someone help me with an idea of what's going on and how to fix this.
"Hardware" problem. Try removing upper button from the volume control, usualy there is the place where wires are soldered to the circuit. - and usualy there they broke
Hint - to be shure try another working handfree before blaming phone/soft/firmware - HF must be for Hero for everything to work, and you may just put ordinary headphones to test left/right channel sounds.
I'm not blaming the soft or my handsfree or headphones or the firmware but I dunno why is it reacting this way ! But leaving the handsfree beside for a moment I dunno why the ordinary headphones work on both on L and R "speakers"... but the ones that go in the ears work only on L or R "speaker" and this ones work great on my mp3 player. They also worked on my phone until 3 days ago.
I've disassembled my phone and there's no wire on the jack slot .. it's directly connected to the main board and doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the bond. It's not possible if you think of it. Gonna call an exorcist for my phone or something gonna take it to the shop in the morning maybe they can take the evil from it thanks anyway
Edit : The guys over the phone shop fixed my problem ... there was something f**ked up in my Jack slot or something. Now I can use my handsfree again
maybe i was not correct, but in my case it was in teh "control box" of handsfree, i never opened the phone.
I got my z2 last Tuesday and my headphones (Logitech UE 350) were working perfectly until I tried using them today. For some reason they aren't being recognized anymore and the music just keeps playing through the phones speakers.
I tried plugging them into my old iphone and they work fine. I also tried plugging in another pair (Shure SE215) into both phones and they work fine. Except on the z2 it makes a clicking sound whenever I change songs now.
Does anybody know any way to fix this? Or could it be a faulty headphone jack?
Could be a number of things mate. Firstly, check and see the headphones are not physically damaged and even make sure that the microhpones in the in-ear pieces aren't affected by water exposure. Next check the headphones out by moving the wire around while they're plugged in and see how the sound comes out and if the phone reacts to any movements. When I used my phone in water even after hours of drying the headphone jack still wasn't dry so even the slightest movement switched tracks etc. Alternatively, it could be a headphone jack fault in the sense that it may be shorting? Or the 3.5mm 5pin connector on the headphones itself is damaged. It could also simply be a software glitch. Go into "Sounds" in your settings and change what kind of accessory it detects the headphones as. Try "Other", it may solve your problems. Alternatively take it into a Sony store or a phone shop and see if there's anywhere with a similar headset which you could test out.
