Just installed MIUI 2.8.10 and it was working fine all day. Went to check it about an hour ago and the headphone indicator is on and nothing will play through the phone's speaker.
I've tried plugging headphones in and removing them, taking the battery out and rebooting, cleaning out the headphone jack for debris, and toggling silent mode off and on again.
I'm hoping there is a simple solution that I'm forgetting and I don't have to attempt a hardware fix like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808262
And I would like to avoid a complete reinstall of the ROM.
Any ideas?
My brother had this happen to his Droid x. It ended up being hardware failure. If yours is out of warranty I would tell them it seems to be a known issue with the phone and you should insisit its their fault.
A of that being said I would do a nandroid and then sbf to make sure its not software related.

I think that it is a hardware failure, or it has debris in it. I understand you cleaned it but you should try again, my brother's phone used to think its charging when it wasn't but we cleaned the port and it stopped.

Title says it all folks lol. I almost fully submerged my poor Eris, and to my suprise, almost all was well. My only problem is that my Eris thinks that there are headphones plugged into it when there isn't thus rendering my phone silent in everything the speaker would play. Now fortunately for me, under the cyanogenmod settings there was an option in the sound section to always play certain things on the speaker, an override if you will. This fixes my problem for notifications, calls and alarms. Still, I was wondering if there was a way to permanently overide the fooled headphone jack completely so I didn't have to use speaker phone on calls to hear anything and so I can play music and videos again. Any help would be terrific. Thanks in advance!

Pull the battery and bury the phone in a bowl of rice (uncooked) for a couple of days. It should help remove any moisture left.

The rice probably won't do anything at this point. You're screwed. The one thing you don't do when you drop your phone in the water is turn it on. If you ever get your phone that wet you immediately pull the battery and let it dry.
Basically your warranty/ everything is voided so I suggest you try opening the phone out and using compressed air to blow out anything that may be trapped inside.
I didn't use rice although I know you can. I actually did what you said Hungry Man. Pulled the battery and let it sit out in the sun for a couple hours. When I first turned it on after that, I noticed the headphone symbol popping up and disappearing a few times, and then it just stuck. Do either of you know more about what cyanogenmod does to overide the headphones? My guess is that if It can be done with a few sounds, it can be done with all of them.
I do know my warranty is voided. That's fine tho. I have the monthly insurance that covers water damage, but the phone is fine, so I might as well open it up. Ill need to fond a tiny star key though lol.

Simular Issue
I can relate, I recently rooted my Eris and have been toying around with some roms. Somewhere along the way my phone started to think that headphones are constantly plugged in. Extremly frustrating! Have tried new roms, re-flashing, etc. but nothing helps. May need to try that rom you've been using to compensate. Any suggestions would be great!

Did your phone get wet?
No it didn't get wet. Doesn't matter now anways. Just flashed the 2.1 stock rom and exchanged it for a new one.
Hey people
Woke up this morning and im not getting any audio at all from my external speaker. Not even bootup sound. Headphones and call speaker work fine
I'm running H3

Make sure that it isn't in Silent mode, if it isn't then sad to say that your external speaker is gone. Service Center will be the only option.

Sometimes I need to "twist" the plug to find right position for it.
External speaker i mean the rear speaker on the phone that normally makes all the non call noises. Anyone experience this?

I'm currently having this problem as well. I'm on the latest checkROM, and I have tried 3 different kernels, thinking that was the issue, but it's still happening.
My sounds are playing through the phone speaker, and not the loudspeaker.
If I reboot the phone, the problem goes away for a while, but it eventually returns.
This has caused me to miss critical notifications and alarms, and I'm tearing my hair out trying to figure out what the heck is causing it.
Do I have to reflash the phone?
Any advice on this would be appreciated.
Sorry for the double post, but has anyone else experienced this?
Can anyone suggest a fix?
Go back to stock to rule a hardware issue in or out, I.E. if you still have the same problem on stock it's obviously a hardware problem and if you only seem to have the problem with your current rom/kernel the problem lies there.
If it does have the same problem on stock, factory reset & jig it to wipe the flash counter & hand it in for warranty service/replacement.
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
Alex
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
Basically the headset icon at the top is on and the phone thinks I have a headset plugged in so the only way to talk is to put it o n speaker phone.
Anyone eleven have this issue or do I have to get a refurbed replacement?
There's probably crud in your headphone jack. Clean it out with a q-tip that's got a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol on it. Obviously turn your phone off first.
Are you running a custom Rom? Rooted ?
If so, I suggest fist wiping and reflashing a Rom.
If on a new flash u are still having the problem, I would assume hardware problem.
Inspect the Mic jack, look for debris, plug.in a headset, u should be able to tell if there is something inside.
If all of that fails, call 611 and get a replacement.

Not rooted, already tried a wipe, tried inserting headphones and they work but the icon stays on after removal.
Going to take a closer look inside the jack and clean it.

Yeah, this is a pretty common problem. Not with this phone in particular, but phones in general. All that lint'n'stuff in your pockets. You can also use vodka, if you have some of that around.
Cleaned it really well but didn't see anything that would keep it from working right.. still broken so I gotta exchange it.
Compressed air.
Tried everything.. no dice
I had this exact problem. I ended up exchanging under warranty. Odd thing was the day I sent it back it stopped doing it, I sent it in anyway and just told verizon it was intermittent and random. That was a few months ago and my new one works fine.

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.

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.
