HELP.. Headphones sound Issue - HTC Amaze 4G

Hello
I searched and there was nothing on this topic..
OK so here is my problem..when i Plug in my Headphones the sound is louder from one side than the other, it is not the headphones because it also does it when i plug into AUX in car.
AUX wire in car is brand new . and isnt a cheapo cost me 15 bux, and that didnt solve my issue.
This started happening after i installed the last 2 Beast mod roms that came out, this was a known issue that X knew about..
i then moved on to Bulletproof, and the issue carried over to the new rom.
I have done all the wipes i can do on recovery, and i tried super wipe that X released.
NOTHING has helped..
so please X or someone help me! i want to bump my music in my car, that is why i spent my money on a 32gb microsd card.. and i cant
it shouldnt be a hardware issue because i have never used headphones excessively, and it was a known issue in beastmod development.
HELP PLEASE

beastmod never had such "known issue". However long story short get new headphones and next time try not to speak PhD level of english...keep it simple, is better

yes it was a known issue, many of us had that bug.
I said its not my headphones, ive tried multiple ones. I have also tried multiple AUX cables in my car, even bought 15 dollar one and it didnt help. Every other device sounds fine in my car, just not my Amaze

Don't panic bro.
Sometimes foreign object happened to got into the audio output port on your phone
How about try to clean it with a dampened Q-tip with a little alcohol or something like that and see what happen

Stupid question:
Do you have a case on your phone?

Volume boost apps can cause distortion as well.

I sure hope you were joking with that one. PhD level?
Anyway...to the OP. If no other solution is found you could always resort to
adjusting the balance in an app like PowerAmp. I know it's not the solution you want but it may help in the interim.

Headphone jack issue!

I was wandering if anyone else had this problem? Every time I plug in to the Headphone jack my SD card unmounts. Has anyone else seen this?

i dont have that problem but my headphone jack does seem extremely tight, not sure if i have to 'wear' it in
don't have that issue BUT annoying is that when u plug in headphones it DISABLES THE MICROPHONE!! arg. so no way to listen to music & then answer a phone call without unplugging yer phones. How stupid is this?? its like the designers never actually used the phone

I know right? Its a damn shame that the guys here will fix all the problems that HTC should have caught
As for the Microphone issue, I think that has to do with the actual software.
Ok, I figured out that the tip of my connector was bent and it was pushing against the SD card.

Mic not working
Guess I didn't know this was an issues since every phone I have ever owned (feature phones) with a headphone jack d/c the mic when you plug it in. I always just picked up a nice pair of headphones with a mic on them to answer calls.
Found that out the hard way too. Right in the middle of a busy street, on an important call. Can't wait for CM7 so I dont have to deal with a stupid feature like that...
Audio Jack has a loose connection
I found a different issue in that if you bump the headphone jack just right, it cuts out the audio altogether. I took my Thunderbolt to the store thinking I had a defective unit and I was able to duplicate with their floor models too. Sounds like a manufacturing defect. I tested several headsets that to eliminate that as the problem.

Can you reproduce the issue with the battery cover off? Wondering if maybe the headphones aren't seated right. Taking the cover off would give more room to make sure they are all the way in there. (That's the only way I could type that last sentance without it sounding pornographic)
Note: don't bump it too hard with the cover off. You may knock the battery out.
no i have not encountered this problem, and i use headphone jack everytime i go out
Yea that definitely is a defect! If you can't easily fix it without potentially causing damage, I would get a replacement
The Disabled Microphone issue is really annoying, I can't wait for a dev to fix it!
That's lame. Have you heard of anyone figuring out a workaround yet?
Anyone found or asked a ROM developer about the mic shutting down when a headset is connected?

Static in all audio?

I just recently received the white s3 for tmobile and I was wondering if anyone has this static noise in the music app, but I thought it was just my phone but it transfers into my head phones and makes the noise as well
Any fixes?

S3 for V here. Mine does the same thing, but the music app doesn't even have to be on. Ive already posted in the bugs thread about this and a few others say they haven't had any issues, so I feel its an isolated incident. I only get it when I plug in a TRS jack. When I plug in a TRRS jack, I hear no static. I'm going out on a limb here and going to guess that the sleeve could be bridging connections in the receptacle. But if that's the case, the hardware/drivers should be able to handle that as I haven't had any issue with my iphone and that was a TRRS receptacle, along with a host of many other phones.

I have the Verizon variant and I get this same static. For me it sounds like a crackling/popping sound. Having the screen on makes it worse. I even get it during turn by turn navigation and through my car's bluetooth audio.
Verizon and Samsung support have been worthless. There are no stores with replacement stock within 100 miles of me.
I have the same issue with my sprint gs3. I'm hoping it's just a software issue.
I had this issue for a minute on my Sprint S3, then I realized that I hadn't plugged the headphones in quite all the way. They looked like they were in, but there's a final little click. Solved my issue.
The issue we're talking about happens on the speaker phone, earphones and even audio through bluetooth

I got my replacement shipped to me in several days. If it were a software issue then there would've been more reports. Pretty sure it's a hardware issue. Replace it asap before your return period expires.

Well I followed your advise and unrooted the phone to get a replacement.they of course didn't have any in stock so it'll be there by Tuesday. The rep played music through a set of earphones he had and no further questions were asked. I just hope the replacement doesn't have a different issue like the ones I've read around here. Even my battery life has been spectacular.
I only have this happen to me when I'm charging the phone as well. Have you tried only having the audio cable plugged in?

I've tried everything I can think of. When it happens while the phone rings I guess there's noting else to do. I even rechecked after unrooting it,downloading the latest sprint update but it seems it's hardware related.
it's not only music playing apps but even others like tune in radio do it as well.
I just tried putting the music on the my external sd card and it doesn't do the popping there. when it reads it off the internal storage is when all the popping begins.

Headphone Jack Sound Problems

Hi there, I recently bought an HTC amaze and I love it so far, but I do have one problem. When I use any pair of headphones or 3.5mm jack my music will play out of both sides, but it's much quieter on the right side. I've tested this with many sources and nothing has worked so far. Is this a common problem? I have 30 days to return the phone but I'd really rather not if I don't have to.
Not an issue on my Amaze.
Have you tried different headphones? Or maybe one of you ears is going bad.
Haha... Definitely not my ears. I've tried several headphones and aux cables and none have worked. Guess I'm going to have to return it. I figured it was probably a hardware issue.
Before you do that try using compressed air in the headphones jack to see if there maybe something in there.

That was actually my first guess. It almost looks like it won't go all the way in, but even with tons of force it won't go down any further. Looks like I'll be using bluetooth headphones.

[Q] Earpiece and headset issue

I'm having some problems:
- The earpiece does not work in calls.
- When i plug a headset (one with mic and another without it), if volume is at max i hear just crackling sounds (nothing else) and when volume lower than max there's no sound at all.
i replaced the earpiece yesterday (the flex with everything else) and still have the same problem... so i tought it must be a software issue, then unlocked the bootloader and flashed cm7.2 stable (i was on at&t 2.3.6), but still, the same problem...
any help?
Sounds like your jack might be faulty.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you mean earbuds or similar. In that case, please ignore, sadly I have no other advice.

Same issue here - out of the blue my earpiece quit working. Did some research and found several posts that the earpiece was a possible faulty design by Moto. Like you I replaced the earpiece and flex cable. Earpiece started working fine, then it quit again. Then found something strange - when I removed the SD card it started working again. So to test, I put the SD card back in and it quit working again. Removed it again, rebooted and it was working again. Did this about 5 times with same results. Wake up the next morning, go to make a call and the earpiece is dead again. Its been dead since.
Was running CM 7.2.1 stable when this started. Flashed the nightly afterwards to see if that fixed it; nope. I believe its a software thing also so I'm trying to figure out which ROM I load next to test.
You guys have any luck?

Mine stopped working last week. After trying a few different headphones and doing all sorts of changes. I finally realized that I had a bit of pocket lining stuck on the instead which got embedded at the bottom. I used a paper clip to scope the lining out.
Any breakthroughs? Has any1 fixed the ear piece issue?
Please know if you do this ypu risk damaging your phone and this will be your decision.
With that said... If you remove the back panel you will find that the jack uses spring contacts to connect to the board. Make sure they are clean and making good contact.

[Q] Is the S2 destroying headphones?

OK. So I have looked ALL over the forums and interwebs and I haven't found anything that relates to the problem i'm having!
I have had my S2 for almost 2 years and it has never failed me. Let's say about a year ago I was using my official samsung headphones when the right side stopped working. Considering that it could be the phone's problem I used the headphones in other devices (inclusing pc) and realised that the headphones had the same problem, right side was dead.
So, I tried my sister's headphones (official), worked great for about a week, then the same happened. Right headphoned died!
Then I bought some similar headphones, worked great for 2 days, then....caput! Right side dies!!!
I have tried settings, looking inside audio jack, fiddle around with headphone cable. I HAVE NO CLUE!
Is anyone finding this a problem? Has it happened to anyone else? Is this a common problem with the S2?
I am running Android Jellybean 4.1.2.
I am not rooted and I don't want to take my phone apart. I'm starting to think the S2 is eating away at headphones in general, only the right side.
Thanks in advance!
I've used the stock earphones and a better quality Sony pair....and I'm also using a mod that significantly increases overall volume and bass etc........and so far, my earphones seem to be surviving......when you were using these earphones, did you notice any significant difference in the sound balance between left and right?
Edit......
Just a question......
With the stock earphones, you have the main (single) cable between the plug and the mic.....and then from the mic, you have a short left cable and a long right cable......were the other earphones you used of the same design, or were they the more traditional type where the left and right cables are the same length?

Nope! Sound quality was perfect every time. Settings were set to stereo and never had to change the equaliser. All earphones would work flawlessly in any music player, video player, youtube...etc. Then quite randomly they would lose sound in the right earphone and never work again on that side in any device. That's 4 sets of headphones I have gone through that have all broken in the same way. I haven't touched a damned thing!
Do you have your earphones in your pocket? Maybe the cable just breaks. Had this a couple of times.

The stock earphones cost maybe $2 to manufacture. I think that might have a lot more to do with it than the phone itself.

Yes. That is a factor I have taken into account. But the headphones have always been wrapped neatly and never bent. It's strange how it only seems to lose audio on the RIGHT side earphone though.

Have used earphones of great quality, costing much more than that. And the same thing has happened.
Are u using the headphones for a lot of things? ( I mean not just your phone) If that is the case, try using the headphones ONLY with your phone and laptop, i've had some problems before like this when i plugged my headphones to my friend's phone and those mini tv things on the bus.

ALL headphones I had were only ever used for the phone! I have great headphones for laptop so the phone ones were never needed.
Then there may indeed be a problem with your phone, maybe it short-circuits or something, you can try s2 nuke from hawkerpaul: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100558
If this doesn't solve the problem,it's probably hardware and there is nothing you can do, give it to a samsung center.
Don't wait anymore
After going through the OP and ALL the replies, I just want to second the opinion that it is indeed a hardware problem specific to your device only.. So try not to put the fifth pair of headphones in, just visit your nearest Samsung service centre and I am sure they will know how to go about your problem..
