headphones

i plug in the headphones into my X10i but whenever i play a song, the music doesnt go through the headphones it goes through the speakers
Did you try with another headphones ? Maybe it's only the headphones that have a problem.
Take it you want a hand with your issue?

sorry im not understanding what youre trying to tell me
Sounds to me the contacts are not working well. Does the inside looks a bit dirty? try cleaning it carefully with alcohol or another clean liquid, that might help.

thanks that worked !
you're welcome. Glad to hear it worked. Always a bit tricky as it's an uncovered hole in the phone which is attracting dust and dirt easily in your pocket...

Wired headphones not recognised?

Hi everyone.
I have my Razr Maxx with bootmenu and the leaked version of ICS (676.226.3.XT910.Retail.en.EU) and today I was going to listen some music when I found my official Motorola wired headphones aren't recognised by the phone.
I plugged them to my PC and they work ok. But the phone doesn't even show the headphones icon, and any sound played (even music from the regular moto player or spotify) sound in the phone's loudspeaker.
Anyone has found this or knows how can I fix it ?
Could it be a kernel/bootloader problem ?
Cheers!
i had the same issue and it was a hardware thinh which my warranty covered

Any tutorial to get back to factory ??
Get alumm papper. Make it as a tiny stick and insert once on the headphone jack with a music being played. When the sound desapear, try ur phone.
Just do it!

wouldn't that be prone to make a shortcircuit in the headphones plug?

I tried all the methods and none did work. Today I've uninstalled bootmenu/hijack and all that stuff... now it works... incredible... maybe some kernel problem? Or I was just lucky and the yesterday's cleaning worked today? strange...
Anyway, I'm glad it's working now... Spotify! there we go!
PS: I prefer Metallica or a little Foo Fighters... but AC/DC is quite good... XD
Cheers!
I have this issue too.
When on official ics from Motorola it works. But not on FTS 3 B1.2

That's weird. I have this problem too - but headphones aren't working nor on CM9 (non-kexec) neither on stock Motorola ICS (newest one). I've tried even another headphones, but they don't work either. Has anyone find a solution? Other than cleaning, because I've tried it - without effect :/

[Q] Does anyone have a method to minimalize buzzing through the headphone jack?

It is seriously getting on my nerves and turning off the radios does nothing.

That's not the only problem. When you stream through Google Music or Pandora or even YouTube, (WiFi or not) the 4G LTE radio causes another buzzing. HTC has confirmed this, but has yet to release a fix.

I know that, but since the op said he turned off radios I was assuming he was listening to music stored on his device.

Yeah. Spotify, YouTube, PowerAmp are the apps I use. And all get the annoying buzz.
That headphone amp doesn't do us much good with all this buzz...

There really is no fix possible, it's not a software problem, it's hardware.
You may also have a defect in your device. I've never heard buzz and us Google Music and beats...

Sane here. This is the first phone I've used that doesn't give me a buzz when using the headphone jack with a an aux plug to a car stereo using any apps. Beats on or off.
I have a buzz through crappy skull candy headphones but through my astro a40 headset I dont get a buzz. Maybe our phones just like quality? Hahaha

I actually have noticed this as well. Even though I wouldn't consider by JVC XX crappy or cheap, they do buzz while my klipsch do not.
Since, from what I have read, only a handful of us are experiencing this issue, I can only assume that only a handful of the devices are defective. So, I called up verizon yesterday and told them that my DNA has a hardware defect, and they are sending me a brand new device! (the DNAs are so new that they don't have refurbished ones yet)

Was it really that easy? It seems as if my problem is getting worse with time, you think they will send me one without hassle?
I got it through a third party verizon store, do you think that will be an issue?

there's a fix in the general section that addresses this issue. Apparently it's a hardware issue where the tabs in your phone don't seem to make the connection to the antenna. the fix points out which connectors to adjust but requires you opening your phone. I've been experiencing this issue as well. I find massaging the top back right (when looking at the phone) seems to help but it's only a temp fix. I'm debating if I want to send the phone in for an RMA for that and a weird sim issue I've been experiencing.

Opening it isn't that difficult. Just follow the instructions and be gentle on the prongs when you pull them up.

I bought a husky multi tip "jewlers" screwdriver from Home Depot, best $10 I spent. Got the philips/standard one and the torques one. I use those to tear everything down. I say invest a little and keep em for years. But that's just me, I tear lots of things apart. If you want I can get you the husky product numbers off them.

2 sec GPS lock and no more sim issues plus 3 month warranty extended onto my phone. I'm fairly content, couldn't get anyone to give me any sorts of discounts on a Note 2 but I still love this phone.
Had this same problem - flashed a GB radio - everything is now working perfectly.
Just an FYI.

[Q] Audio Jack Not Working.

Its being 1 month My HTC Droid Dna's Audio jack not working.
Around a month ago I feel that my audio jack flickering on and off.
After that stops working for a while and again starts working properly.
Now its completely dead I think.
Tried removing lint from it but there is nothing.
Googled it and found this link
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-HTC-Droid-DNA-Butterfly-Headphone-Jack-Simcard-Sim-Slot-Holder-Power-Flex-Cable/1477850071.html
Just want some help here.
Is it the only solution(replacing above unit with sim tray,audio jack, power flex ) for this?:crying:
Or there is another way to handle this (replacing only audio jack if possible).:fingers-crossed:
since it will cost me a lot replacing the whole assembly.
Thanks

Have you tried different headphones. I would say if there isn't anything in it then it probably went dead. Did you make sure the pins inside were making contact?

I read on the forum that someone else that was having problems with their headphone jack pulled the pins out a little bit. They stuck an object in and gently bent them out more and they had success. It's worth a try. Don't bend them too far though.

I have this problem from time to time. I bought some canned air and spay first to rid moisture and then blow it in the jack and use a wood round toothpick and clean it out. Should work fine.
