Hi all,
I need your help for my recent problem occuring on my XDA Atom. So, yesterday I was using my XDA Atom as music player with pocketmusic application from pocket mind. I use headphones.
After I finish hearing the music, I plug off the headphones before cloesing the application or turning off the music. Usually, if I do that the music sounds will come out from the speaker. However, not this time. So I think there is no problem back then. So, when my friends call my mobile i can still hear ring tones from the speaker.. but when i try to pick it up i can not hear any voices coming out from the speaker and can not use the microphone on the XDA atom. I found out that I can only pick up a phone by using the headphones + microphone (headset) that provided in 02 XDA atom packing. Without that the sepaker can only sounds ringtones. The speaker can not play music, system notification and button taps. I already soft reset and even perform hard reset but this condition persist.
I dont know what to do with this.. Can anyone help??
there r some cases like that noticed due to using the headset. i had a problem similar to this.. the only solution i got was by sending the device to the service center & they tried after replacing some parts like speaker finaly they had to change the mother bord. sad to say it
Solution to your problem
Hi,
I experienced exactly the same problem as you just a few days ago. The problem is caused by the switch contact inside the headphone socket not springing back to allow the internal speakers and microphone to work. The solution is fairly simple. Just poke a toothpick into the socket on the phone and jiggle it around gently. If you do this whilst you have music playing, you'll hear it when you hit the "sweet spot". DO NOT USE A METAL OBJECT TO POKE AROUND.
Just back from the shop to make my Exec repaired... it was exactly the problem of contact of hearphone switch.. after having changed the loudspeaker...
Anyway it is not big deal just clean the switch
It is due to microphone jack.

Have you fixed the problem.
You can fixed this problem by visiting repairing center, they will fixed it by replacing microphone jack, which probably broken inside.
Thankkkk Youuu
GUYS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOur prompt reply to my XDA Problem.. I've just fix the problem by doing the procedure given by TOMTECS... I poke the headset plug-in on my XDA while playing the music.. just a little bit pushing there twisting here.. then.. the sound come out...!!!
THANKS GUYS!!!
I've had the same problem, and I was desperate because I thought it was a tough mechanical or electronical failure. But a little poking with toothpick as tomtecs said worked like a charm! Great!!
Thank you!!
By the way, the switch is on the right hand side in the jack, when the screen is looking above. (tested only for HTC Prophet)
Thanks so much for this posting guys.
I ended up using a kitchen twist tie (you know the ones you use to seal plastic bags) while I had an mp3 running and then heard sound from my speaker again. Yay.
You guys rock!

Hi,
I played with the conenctors on the XDA and grounded the PIN 19 wich is the CAR ON PIN.
Since then, i can't get any sound coming out from the XDA speaker.
I even did a hard reset and nothing will do.
The speaker works, because i get the ringtone when some one calls me, but no voice, no mp3 etc
I some one could help me to solve this tricky problem :wink:
thanks
yann
ok i solved the problem by plugin in my xda headset.
i guess it resseted the CAR ON feature.
cheers,
yann
...thats because, pin 19 divert audio from built-in speaker to pin-out connector, as if connected to car speakers
there's nothing wrong with it.
I have the same problem, but that solution did not work...
I did not short anything, this same problem has happened to me. I did resets, pluged and unpluged the hands free and still nothing but a ring tone out of the speaker. The only way the phone works is with a hands free... please help me solve this problem.
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 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.
Music plays fine out of the wired headset...it always has. The headset has functioned properly until about two weeks ago. At that time, my Atrix began to think that I was pressing the headset button. Constantly. Over and over. Any time the screen is on with the headset in, it redials automatically. When the screen is off, it does it too, because when I turn the screen on, it gives me the vlingo vs. voice command box. Also, when I make a call with the headset plugged in, the other person can somehow not hear me at all, until they call me back, and it's fine. The phone thinks the headset button is being pressed once every few seconds. THIS IS INCREDIBLY ANNOYING.
I know it's not the headset, because I've tried three different headsets (two by Motorola, both the 'official' wired headsets of the Atrix, and one third-party), all with the same result. Also, it's not just my phone! Oddly enough, I replaced my Atrix with AT&T's warranty, and THE NEW PHONE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.
Has anyone else experienced this, or have the slightest clue what is going on? I've looked around the internet for weeks now and I haven't seen a single instance of it. Pleeeeease. This is brutal.
My headset with mic and button does not have any issues. Its the bose MIE2 mobile phone headset.
Yes I have experienced this as well and it is super annoying I will prob swap it out and hope I don't get another messed up one. Sometimes when I am in my car and connected to my bluetooth handsfree it'll do the same thing and start a song playing and I don't even push anything!!! Hope someone figures this one out.
theres defo something funny about the atrix headphone jack and remote controls.
At first my nexus one remote worked fine with it, but it started doing funny things, then flat out would go crazy (issuing commands without me touching it etc.)
Gave up and went wireless, now I only use wired @ the gyma dn they're just dumb headphones w/out remote
ME TOO!!
Yes, yes, and yes on having this problem. I use my headphones (SkullCandy FMJ) sometimes when riding my bike and yesterday all I kept hearing was "please say a command...did you say...I'm sorry please try again" over and over...hard to deal with at 70MPH!!! Hope this gets fixed, I thought it was my headphones, but it sounds like another GB issue. I don't have any problems when using my SENA SMH10 Bluetooth inside the helmet.
I had this same problem, mine got randomly solved. You could find how the wiring world for the Atrix and block that connection or cut off the controller on the headphone and solder your headphones back together.

Thanks for the feedback, but a)I'm not looking to do any soldering or rewiring (I'm good with software mods, but not hardware mods), and b) it never happened until recently, then I swapped out the phone for a new Atrix, and it happened right off the bat - again with all three headsets. Tried a bluetooth, worked fine, no problem.
I tried a new headset (skull candy something-or-other) and it's been working so far, inexplicably.
I made a voodoo doll of my Atrix and poked it a bunch of times in its little voodoo headphone jack. Seems to have done the trick. I'd recommend that method.
I have this problem too with my headphones from my Sony x1, or x10. I cant remember which one. But as soon as I plug them in the phone goes nuts!
Which really sucks because they are they best headset/ headphones I have ever used for my funny shaped ears.
I think mine fixed after I dropped it and the headphones came out Anyways as long as its resolved that's awesome.

Anyone having the problem using the pure music widget, by any chance? Uninstalled that and hasn't happened since with any headset.

i also started to experience this issues.At first i thought it is kernel or ROM issue but then after multiple test and experiment it is the Atrix 3.5mm headset jack is the culprit.If im not mistaken it is due to pressure contact sensor inside headphone jack.Please anyone know how to rectify this kind of problem do post your solutions for us.TQ

You bike at 70MPH? Holy.
so no one found a real fix or solution for this problem? Maybe we need to make a petition and submit to motorola
I had the same problem with a BB9700. It ended up being a damaged headphone jack. I figure some crap from my pocket had been in the jack when I plugged in the head set. Which jammed everything into it wrecking the receiving end of things.
Luckily I had a spare housing which came with a new jack. I'm not sure if it's as easy to replace on the Atrix since I haven't had the opportunity to tear it apart yet.
Power amp has settings that fix my controls and it works great.

Still no one ever face this kind of problem?
Can anyone confirm that this could fix our problem? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301998
I have same problem too. But I have this problem on stock ROM and CM10.1 (with 3.1 kernel) ROM. I don't have this problem with any other ROM.
Hello there..
I've been using my new Razr (GSM) for 3 days & listening to my music via wired headphones, till this morning when i plugged my headphones and nothing! music kept go thru the loud speaker as it didn't even recognize the HP's !!
I've tried many other wired HP's (even the one came on the box), rebooting & all, still nothing.. Bluetooth headphones worked fine.
im worried it could be a hardware problem, i don't wanna go throu warranty/fix/change/etc ..
anyone experienced something like this ? any advise would be helpful.
thanks in advance
Moe
Ps: is there anyway that i can only RESET the phone setting only without wiping the internal Data ?
Hi,
Everyday, when using Spotify, I have no sound from the headphones, while speaker is working.
Nothing in the system log, the only way to have headphones back is to reboot the razr.
Looks (sounds) like a software issue but I don't know if it's low level of at Spotify one (that app is so badly coded that everything is possible).
Not sure it helps, but collecting feedback is a good start

Well, it happens to be a small piece of paper from my jeans pocket inserted somehow & prevented the hp's to connect! anyway, my mistake! problem solved
thanks for the feedback!
I have the same problem. How is this solved?

yeah same thing for me my 3.5MM socket stopped working
i think its a common issue ill be sending mine back for repair and then giving this to my gf......i think i might just get a Gnex
A paperclip or a needle is probably the best way to clean lint out of the headphone port. I had the same problem one day. And a paperclip saved my headphone jack

I finally decided to do a reset on the phone before sending it back to Motorola and (3days now) I am using headphones without any problem yet.
