Hi.
I am using the headset that came with the phone and there seems to be a problem. When plugged in and charging the button works fine whether the screen is on or off.
However, when running on battery the button works fine until the screen goes off.
Anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? Sounds like a software bug.
I have a Tmobile UK phone with bokk1 firmware
same here
any solution
Have flashed to some new ROM? Might be ROM specific issue.
I've only had the phone a week so not had chance to pay with it yet.
Going to try to find the latest Europe gingerbread and flash that.
Hopefully will solve my problems and get rid of the terrible t-mobile animations etc too.
I've flashed to KL1 and rooted too. The button is still not working as it should. I'm going to try to borrow some other headphones and try them out tomorrow.
Will also try mine on the other phone.
Hopefully it's just dodgy headphones and not the phone.
tried different headphones in my phone, not working.
tried my headphones in another phone, working fine.
looks like this is something wrong in my phone, or it's a problem with both the original tmobile rom and the KL1 rom.
i'm betting that samsung's famous quality control has hit me again.
first 18 months with a galaxy s with unuseable GPS,
now a phone with dodgy video camera and headphone button that doesn't work at the time you need it to.
sigh.
i think samsung hate me
a work around for the moment is to install Jays Headset Control from the market, it's free. there is an option somewhere in there that 'beeps' whenever you press the button. so now when the phone is in my pocket i can press and hold until i hear the beep, which means i can then press again to continue playing.

Hello
My friend got his Galaxy S2 today, but the vibration is dead, vibration settings is enabled and haptic feedback, but nothing works, tried wipe the device but still no vibration...
So it seems that it have to be sent back to repair... or do you guys know anything he can do?
Factory reset is about all .

I've done it 5 times, if you mean factory data reset via the settings.
no one knows what the problem is?
Your not the only one. My work colleague also received a Galaxy S II yesterday with no vibration working - he doesn't like to mess about, he sent it straight back. I'm starting to get really disappointed with Samsung, just like their TVs, constant defective units...
I have the same problem. Tried factory reset and installed new FW, but still nothing....

My opinion:
Sounds like hardware . And the phone I so new ,returning it is the only option.
I have the same issue. Just noticed that i my phone did not vibrate on an incomming message and could nog get it to work through the settings panel either. It's very unexpected. I didn't do anything with it recently and I did not drop it either...
Going to try a reset, let's hope this works! :-/
Just love the phone so i would hate to return it and miss it a few days!
Edit 1: Just went into Test mode (*#0*#) and the vibration test did not work here either.
Edit 2: Factory Reset (within the phone) did not fix it either, so now I'm sending it in for repairs. Let's hope I won't have to miss it for too long... :/
Eureka, suddenly i noticed that my phone's vibration ability was back when walking to a shop with my headphones in. It seems like the headphone jack somehow influences things. Maybe a bad connection between these components?
Maybe you should try this out to confirm this.
Iam also having same issue..got my s2 a month back...have u guys got any ideas to fix dis bug....
Make sure it's a hardware problem after testing the vibration by dialing *#0*# and test the Vibration tool.
Mine's just done the same this morning. Second time now I've had to take it back. *sighs*
Got it repaired at Carphone Warehouse, said they replaced the screen, which kinda perplexes me as I thought most phones had the vibrate motor near the camera?
I've been using my Galaxy S2 lately as music player and noticed that the vibration on my phone doesn't always work (not on messages, phone calls or haptic feedback), even though I have the setting to "always".
I've browsed around online and noticed that other people have the same issue. Most wind up sending their phones back to the shop for repairs, but I fear it is just a bug and not a hardware issue.
So instead I play around with it and just before I frustrated want to send it into the shop, I think I found out how to "work around" this problem.
So the problem arises sometimes after plugging or unplugging head phones into the phone. What you need to do is:
- go to "settings"
- go to "sound"
- play around with the vibration settings (and the order is of importance, otherwise it doesn't work)
* set vibration to "only in silent mode"
* set vibration to "never"
* set vibration to "always"
On the last selection you will feel already that vibration is 'back' (if you use haptic feedback).
Sure, it works, but it is seriously annoying. I do hope Samsung quickly sends a patch/update to fix this bug!
Vibration died on my phone also. The trick above does not work for me.
It´s no bug, it´s hardware related.
If you move headphone plug gently sideways, it´s starts to work.
I think it´s bad contact or defective part.
I bought used phone and noticed it when i was testing phone.
I had to return it.. (didn´t , instead got it cheap..)
I opened up that phone that i got cheap.
I can now confirm that in my case there where flat cable broken on vibration motor.
Ordered new one on ebay.
In my case this phone has couple dents on chrome.
I think that voids warranty.
But look at the bright side.
I can fix it and phone was 170€ which is pretty cheap for me.
I can get more for my sgs1.
Sgs2 is very easy to open, if you compare to iphone 3gs.
[old thread, i know, but it's exactly as my problem]
The vibration doesn't work for a few days now, it only works when i plug the headphone jack just about when it makes the click sound, if i unplug it or plug it completely the vibration stops working (tested via *#0*#).
So, how did you guys fix this? Seems like a hardware problem but could be software too.
I have the same problem and also in my case is a problem with the headphones connector.
Now I wonder: but it is a defect in GS2 all or only some?
Had the same problem.
Just put my headphones in then while pulling out headphones jack switched silent mode on/off and it seems to fix problem. Maybe the problem is about shorting some contacts on headphones jack (in my case vibration turns off while headphones in) because of condensate which occurs while you carrying it in your pocket or maybe as Buffalee said its about broken flat cable who knows .
When I make a call I cant hear anything. They can hear me fine, speaker phone works fine, but the ear speaker nothing. Sometimes it will cut in and out. Ive flashed Alien, pieCrust and still same issue on both ROMS.
If I hit the phone and smack it around it doesnt cut in and out which would usually be a loose cable.
Has anyone had this issue? I hope its not failing. Let me know if anyone can help.

Try flashing a stock 2.3.4 and wiping all data. If that doesn't fix the problem, then unfortunately it's a hardware issue.
If you are under warranty they should replace the phone no probs. If you are not, you can try fixing it yourself as it's either a loose cable or a speaker failing (there should be replacement speakers for sale somewhere).
From what I heard, Atrix is very easy to disassemble, though I personally hope I won't have to do it.

I work on cell phones, mp3 players, tvs, pc's, laptops, pretty much anything electronic for a living so not scared at all to open her up. But I just want to make sure its not software before I do anything.
When I flash a fresh rom it will work for a split second too maybe 10 seconds on the first call then cuts out and wont work at all afterwards, which is wierd. If it was hardware the fresh ROM should not do anything.
I know this is old, but it started to happen to me too. Has anyone managed to find a solution?
Today I have made a long conversation on a headset. Proceeded and completed without problems. Then the phone was lying all the time with headphones plugged in and someone called me. During the signal I have disconnected headphones, picked up, everything worked nicely.
Then after a few hours I used Hotspot in a public place. At some point, wifi stopped working. Since then the problems began. Wifi can not get up. Turns on and off while not joining in this time to any network. I reboot and remove the batteries but no luck. Since then the hardware buttons for power, volume and the home did not respond.
When someone calls me the phone's speakers can not hear the caller nor he me. Howewer it works with headphones plugged in.
A strange thing. ROM is a KH3, which I use for over a month. KI3 fetching, and I hope that after a wipe everything returns to normal.
//EDIT
KI3 did not help. Wifi and the buttons still did not work.
Is there any hope or just RMA?
Install older stock rom not KH3 KI range .
if not working now reset custom rom counter to zero if needed and return to service centre .

Phone back to normal by itself. Magic...
My phone is playing with me. Now again it doesn't work

Hardware could be connection on headset not opening/closing .

I have a strange Problem with my HOX+ its unlocked and rooted (but with shipped rom) and whenever i listen to music over the headset, the music stops randomly. It happens on several players and always the beats audio icon in the notification bar disappears. Is anyone experiencing that too?
I'm having the same problem. It only seems to happen when the screen is locked for me.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
I've got the same problem too. I'm using viper rom. Happens when plugged in to my amped car sound system via AUX cable. Really sucks when your sound is being amplified and it drops out like that. Kinda ****s up the amplifier/speakers a little too.
Can we get any devs to look into this?
Also, can someone test to see if this issue still happens when using Llior's CM mod? Are you on international or ATT?
I'm on ATT.
Try to disable Power Saver mode. It surely can be related to this.
Yes I have discovered that disabling the power saver mode helps this. But it still happens sometimes. Someone pointed out that it happens less with the screen on. Maybe I should try to edit the minimum clock speed when the phone is in sleep mode? Viper sets it to 50 Mhz. Not sure what I should try setting it to.
If you could try this simple and safe hack : Click!
Worked out for many bugs. Let us know the result please.
Just tried the simple and safe hack. Looks like I did everything properly. Will test out the aux port later today in my car to see if it really did anything.
UPDATE: The hack didn't work. I did test the leaving the screen on trick though. That definitely helps.
It's a hardware issue. My aux port just died today. I hope I have some sort of warranty.
Unfortunately those thing happens. Hoping they honour their warranty, it's an hardware defect after all, it is not a software bug. Time to restore by default.
Let us know how it went.
Actually upon further investigation, a reboot made the AUX port work again... I still think it's a hardware issue.
So it's my first day of owning this phone, I didn't think I would be posting here, but whenever I plug in headphones, it works for around 2 seconds then it just disconnects even with headphones plugged in. I am pretty sure it's a bug that is not hardware related, because for the first seconds the phone actually sends sound to them. Has anyone ran into an issue like this and knows how to fix it? I am currently on Stable MIUI 8.0.5.0.
EDIT: I managed to get it to work, but not the way it should. If I plug it all the way in, the phone detects a headset (headphones and mic) which then later disconnects. If I hold it for around 2 seconds plugged half way in, then it comes up as just headphones and works without any problems. Is there any way to fix this or it's how its supposed to be?
i think this is a compatibilty problm. not a hardware or software one. just use another one. will work fine
