I have plug headphones on my folio 100 (Foliomod 1.4) and was listening a little music. I've plug-out and then plug-in the jack in a short time for some reasons (wife calling). Since I only have sound by the 3.5 jack, by the headphones.
The speakers stays mute.
I've tried factory reset, reflashing foliomod and another fac tory reset without any luck.
I've tried plug-in and out several times, after or before rebooting. Still nothing.
ANy ideas ?
Hi,
I just had the exact same issue with mine. Headphones for a movie, unplug, and now sound is only coming out thru headset
Did you manage to get somewhere since your post?
Thanks
I've tried everything with no luck.
I had to send it back.
Don't know exactly what they did (the RMA paper was very badly print), but my folio was repaired. It took about 3 weeks.
I was hoping to get a new one, but Toshiba made me send it back to "Pegasus Corp" It's the manufacturer of the folio, so they repaired it. Toshiba is only developping software and put the brand on it.
Hope it helps.

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...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

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.
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...
Hi,
the speaker dosn't work anymore. But the strange thing is, that it is working in the bootstrap selftest.
Any help welcome

You could do a complete backup, then hard reset then see if it works.
It is probably due to a bad contact in your phone headset jack. Try plugging in your headset to check if your phone or pda works with the headset. If so, then try plugging-in and unplugging the headset plug to switch the jack connections back to the speaker. If this does not work try putting a drop of WD40 on the end of the headset plug and insert it in the jack a couple of times. (Do not spray directly into the jack). It might just clean up the contacts and get the sound back to the speaker. If all this fails, you may need to open up the phone to fix the jack.
I hope that you do not have to do the latter.
Best of Luck
hi all,
nothing of this worked.
But the Speaker works in the boot-menu Hardware-Test
ah
Hi mate. I've just had the same problem as you, tried repeatedly inserting and removing the jack - no luck. Used WD40 on the jack - no luck. Resigned to taking it to bits I removed the battery cover and noticed the little gap which leads through to a gold-looking connector by the headphone socket. I stuck my stylus in there and gave it a big wiggle and hey presto! Sound returned. Give it a go, you never know. Hope you get as lucky as I did.

Mal,
It seems that your problem is not a hardware one because your speaker actually works on boot-up. Do a search on this forum using the keyword "sound". There are a couple of posts on Aug 21, from other people having the same problem and one of them managed to get sound back by reverting to an earlier version of a software that was causing the problem.
Maybe you have a similar kind of problem.
Pat
Hi,
do you have a link to the topic. I only found articles to sound problems of the XDA-II.
thanx

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.
Hello Dear Xda,
I am having a very strange issue with the Audio Jack. When I got my phone I used samsung headphones and they seemed to have worked perfectly. Now when I tried using other headphones - i.e. the ones that work perfectly with my other devices, it simply wont register. I put the jack in, but nothing happens. the music keeps playing. I thought its only that headphone so I tried others, such as my Car's cassette adapter still the same issue arises.
Now I tried my mothers phone which is a Galaxy SL and it works perfectly with all the headphones that wont work for me. then I decided to squeez teh headphone a bit harder and turn it around in different directions and it started to work a bit, with terrible quality, but it worked. and if i hold it into a certain awkward position you could hear the sound almost flawlessly.
I have came to the conclusion that my jack might have a problem. But I am not aware how to fix the problem. Cause it works perfectly with some headphones, but it wont with others. Does this requires full change of the jack, or can it be fixed by readjusting it somehow?
inb4: I have restarted the phone several times, changed to factory setting and even changed rom to no avail, so this clearly is no software issue.
Thanks in advance
Replace jack. Should be YouTube videos around/Google search might reveal how to do it, but in all honesty, if you're not competent with microelectronics (like me), take it to someone who knows what they're doing (local mobile repair shop). Shouldn't be expensive to fix as the jack is a cheap part, main component of the fix will be labour.
