Oh dear. Had the phone a few days now and this suddenly started tonight. No matter what I do, it thinks headphones are plugged in. I've rebooted, and factory reset twice.
I'm just downloading the stock ROM (700mb?!?!), and if that doesn't fix it I'll be taking it back for a replacement tomorrow.
Lame.
What happens if you actually plug headphones in and then remove them.
Yeah I tried that, but no joy.
Interestingly the headphones icon just disappeared and the sound returned when I received a message through Handcent. No idea why that fixed it but there you go.
I'll be trying for a replacement tomorrow anyway. Don't really trust it now and I've been having some weird signal issues as well.
Oh ok, well glad you sorted it anyways

Well it happened, every phone lovers worst nightmare! I noticed my phone was buggin out today a bit, when I received text messages the light was blinking RED not ORANGE. I had a full battery so that was not an issue..anywhose. So I get a text and check it about 15 minutes later only to find my phone was off and would not turn back on . It has not been dropped and has not been wet. I've taken the battery out 20 times and tried to reset it..I've put it on the charger and still nothing! Ima freak out if I don't get this thing fixed soon.
Oh and by the way before you say it's the battery, I tried the battery out of my friends Titan with no luck. He stuck mine in his phone and booted up just fine.
Any ideas? Please help a brother out.

And one more thing...I have a backup of my setting using QPST. Does that also backup all of my phone numbers as well? I seem to have lost my memory card in which I had everything backed up on.
The only thing I can think of to check is the USB prongs to make sure they are not bent and or touching each other. Other than that you can try the hard reset by holding down the two soft keys and poking the reset button on the bottom of the phone and see if that will wipe it and let it run again.
thanks for the reply....already tried that with no luck..

Hopefully it is still under warranty and can be swapped out. Good Luck.
I have insurance on it...no idea about warranty though.
no worries, if it wont cut on, and the service dept cant fix it, they'll swap it out, and if they dont have it there at the store, they will next day u a new one free of charge... i got my new one for the same issues today, on a holiday!!!
Well I got a brand new one
Cost me 90 bucks though...installed new rom and all that jazz. I can send pic msgs but downloading new pic msgs doesn't seem to be working grrr!
I got that issue working, I still need my question answered about QPST answered though. Will restoring an old QPST configuration file restore all of my phone numbers??
No, QPST is totally different.... Your numbers are lost unless you find your sd card....
That's exactly what I thought. Thanks for the reply bud.
IF you have that happen ever again with the phone not turning back on...
plug in the USB/ Headphone adapter (not a charger)and then try to reset. normally it works everytime ;-)

Alright heres one for the experts. Plugged my phone in last night before i went to bed. Woke up and unplugged it. Phone said it was still charging. My thoughts of course were simply "awesome -_-". So proceeded to turn the phone off. Even when the phone was off, it still claimed it was charging. The cable wasn't even plugged in. So I pulled the battery and put it back in, giving me the same result. So I plugged the charger back in and unplugged it and that temporary fixed the problem. I unplugged it and then would keep hearing beeping notifications claiming i was plugging my charger in and unplugging it. Now naturally im thinking its a hardware issue and thinking it may be best to take my phone to an AT&T problem and work towards a warranty replacement. I just dont know how that works so ill have to read about it. I dont want to have to go a few days without a phone is the only thing.
If it helps im on unnamed 1.3.1 using entropys latest kernel with the blue monkey theme.
Also if anyone would like to chime in on a warranty replacement process please feel free.
Thanks in advanced XDA members.
EDIT: My phone was reading 88% and now its going up. Is currently at 91% and not plugged in.
FREAKING awesome! Perpetual energy phone.
Lol, ok, not. Does indeed sound like a usb port gone bad. Seems complaints like these are popping up more often. Must have been a few bad batches. I'd say take it back to stock and return it. Not worth worrying about total failure.
Though I'd recommend taking it to a place farther away from where you first got it, less chance of getting one from the same batch. Or ask if they have gotten a new shipment of sgsii's in.

Lol that literally made me laugh. But thanks for the reply. Planning on returning to stock and taking it back. Should i go to one of AT&T's device support centers or just go to an AT&T retailer?
EDIT: flash counter is at 1 but no "!" ...guess ill have to wait my jig to reset it to 0 before i try and do a warranty exchange?
Any place will work fine, corporate or not, as long as they have sgsii in stock. Worth calling before hand to make sure.
Nobody has yet reported being denied warranty from the flash counter being tripped. But I say better safe than sorry. Just make sure to follow the directions exactly. Some have reported their phones being really jacked up after using it. By far the minority, but nonetheless.

Update : went too a dscand they saw the same problem
. They restored my phone to what it was out of the box. The problem is currently not happening. We shall see what happens when I get home and attempt to root the phone.
Update II : got 5 minutes away from the at&t store turned the phone off, would not turn back on, went back to the At&t store and they said it was a hardware issue and they gave me a replacement
Thanks for the update. Talk about happy the phone didn't die through the night. That would have been super frustrating.

I've noticed that when I take a call and my phone is plugged in, the call quality is horrible and it sounds like the signal is cutting out really bad. I typically have three bars at home so that shouldn't have much if anything to do with it. When I unplug the charger from the phone, the call instantly sounds like it should and will immediately start cutting out again if I reconnect the charger. Before I exchange my phone (I'm still within my 14-day return period), has anyone else noticed this?
I can tell you that mine works fine on a call while charging.
I just got off a 10 minute business call with the A/C charger plugged in and it worked just fine.
No issues here.

Never had that issue. Might be getting odd interference.
The same exact thing happens to me while I have my phone plugged into a ubs powered power cord in my vehicle.

This was the OEM charger. I called Verizon and the local store basically said they can look at it and maybe exchange it under warranty...but I was thinking I could exchange it within the 14 days for any reason, no questions asked. Maybe I'm wrong?

within 14 days, they will give you a new phone. otherwise, you would be looking at a refurb.
I took my phone in today and they swapped it out without much hassle. I explained I had done two factory resets (sort of true...one after unlocking the bootloader and then I had to reflash the RUU before I returned it) and the issue persisted. I also had an odd issue with one of my earbuds not always working. Sometimes I'd have to kind of push it into my ear and I'd hear a pop from it, then it would start working. Of course, they exchanged the whole deal for me. I haven't had time to test the call quality yet but I did notice I seem to get a better signal with this one and, on a side note, my volume buttons now have a nice sort of "click" to them where they felt kind of squishy, so to speak, on the previous phone. Minor thing but nice nonetheless.
Hi all,
I am having the weirdest problem here and need some advice. Tried the search function but came up empty, although it seems by googling that other people have faced it. Problem is that none of the following helped.
Out of the blue my phone thinks that the handsfree jack is used at all times.
So, when i actually use the handsfree all is ok.
When i unplug it i still get the headphones icon on the notification bar and every sound except ringtones is routed to the headphones jack so i have no sound at all.
Tried:
Flashed stock rom, other developers roms, and every piece of kernel i could get my hands on. Of course in the process i did the proper wipes from the cwm menu.
Factory reset.
Sound test through the *#*#0673# menu.
Plugged - unplugged the headphones like 100 times.
Cleaned the headphones hole with cotton bud.
Applied force to the walls of the headphones hole with the jack plugged in.
Took it to a tech friend of mine who took the whole thing apart and tested almost every piece of hardware to his personal handset..everything works as it should.
For now the plan is to keep pluging unplugging the handsfree till it works. I will do that because one time it actually played music from the speaker for a couple of seconds... Unfortunately it then started using the headphones again.
I could really use some help here from the gurus PLEASE.
Thanks in advance

Nothing guys? Comon there must be something i forgot to try...

I would have to guess it's a hardware problem... although you have tested everything, still, I'd have to vote for sending it in for service

Well, thats my next conclution. It has to be the main board which is the only one we couldnt test...i just dont want to go there yet as it means that i have to sell it for spare parts.
As for sammys service i cant really go anywhere near them after what i have put my phone through
My media sounds(music, S Voice talkback, etc) does not work unless headphones are plugged in. It worked before I plugged in the head phones now it does not function at all. Any suggestions?
Maybe a feature with ICS but it was working fine before. media volume is all the way up. Nothing is on mute. Everything else works fine except media..
You need to give more information ie. If you are rooted?

Not rooted, on verizon, stock rom, phone is brand new just got yesterday. Issue did not happen until I plugged in headphones(ones that it came with) for the first time.
I did a factory reset and it resolved the issue but still scratching my brain to what happen.
Tried plugging in head phones after reset unplugged them and media still works.. weird issue.
