Hi,
Whenever I turn my Desire X off, with Headphones plugged in, and turn it back on, with or without headphones plugged in, it always says headphones are plugged in, even if they are not. To fix this, I have to restart the Phone. Is there any more appropriate fix? Thanks! :laugh:
Joe.
I have something like that, but my phone doesn't detect my original (hTC) headphones. Other headphones phone is detected. :crying:

So maybe your original HTC headphones are fried, maybe something wrong with the plug or the cable...
No, my HTC ones bit the dust a loooooong time ago. I have tried with two headphones, (Apple Earpods and Senheiser HDs). Its a software bug...
Thanks

Before anybody says use the search......
I have used it, but did not turn up anything on this although I am sure its here somewhere
I plugged in the wrong cable into my XDA a while ago (Medion PDA car cable)
This blew the fuse in the lighter fitting on the cable.....but......
Ever since this happened, my XDA is broke. I can use it as a Pocket PC. I can use it for email and internet but I cannot use it for phone calls.
The unit seems like it is constantly on speakerphone or handsfree. I try making a call and can hear nothing, either thru the handsfree speaker OR thru the main ear speaker. Whoever I call cannot her me either!
Then, I tried the headest in it. Now...I can hear the call, but whoever I call cannot hear anything!
Is this a hardware problem or a software problem???
Its really annoying me as the XDA itself is in great condition but just won't work
Try inderting and removing the headset several times or poke a cocktail stick making sure it doesnt break, this is a known problem with xda and headphone socket, it becomes jammed in closed position. I have also used a spray can of "switchgear", this is a lubricant for switches and other electronic things.
wow! that was a quick reply
thanks a lot
i have tried that but still no luck. i also tried the cocktail stick.
i'll get a can of oil in the morning like wd40 or something as you descibe.
in the meantime any more suggestions are welcome
Same Problem!
Hey, I am having the exact same problem with my Qtek 1010.. everytime i try use the phone it stays permanently on speakerphone and i can't hear anything... did u ever manage to fix the problem? thanks alot
No.
I never did have any success with it after. Ended up scrapping it
try blowing hard on the audio jack
been battling with this all day...
what fixed it is pluggin/unplugging the headset several times then removing the wired headset plug and blowing real hard inside the jack hole where u plug ur headset...common problem it seems, due to a hardware switch inside being stuck fooling the phone to think your headset is plugged wheb it is not.don't know if the rom can "sensitize" the phone to this problem i.e. make it more prone...
hello all,
I have a sprint touch pro, and i use the HTC adapter that came in the box.
just recently I tried plugging in the charger while i was using the 3.5mm jack on the adapter and what endded up happening was that the audio out got disconnected (the physical cable was still in place, but the phone thought that the headphones were disconnected)
this has never happened before, I've been able to use the audio out(3.5mm) jack and have been able to charge simultaniously.
I just installed .977 radio app and the pandora app.
I also tried this with the htc headphones and the htc charger on the adapter and the same thing... no luck. the phone cannot charge and perform audio out at the same time anymore. i have tried multiple adapters butt no luck. Please help!
How can I fix this? any of you having this problem?
there has to be a registry string to fix this issue.
thanks in advance!
I'm having the same issue but i'm using a BT Motorola headphone. Even though the phone is plugged in to the wall jack. The battery drains to 0 and then shuts off. Not at all sure what's happening either.
wow, thats not good.
has this been happening since day one or did it just started doing that?
Also, do you have the pandora and/or .977 radio app installed?
Well, I just bought the new bluetooth headphones and tried listening to the streamed radio while still having it plugged in, so this is new behavior to me.
I plugged my headphones in for the first time today and i realized that the left side was quieter than the right. And I unplugged it and replugged it in and it was fine. Then I tried it again and the left side was lower again. I'm not sure what's causing this or if my tablet is defective. But it seems like a hit or miss on getting even volume from both sides.
Anyone else having this problem or can test it out?
I have te same issue and it happens every time I plug in headphones and its annoying.
For me this only happened when I use my SGS2 headphones on Nook.
Actually, I found that SGS2 headphones only work well on the SGS2. With my laptop they have tons of noise, on nook sometimes I have uneven volume.
Although on SGS2 they have the best sound I've ever heard in headphones..
Have you guys tried other headphones?
I only have the one pair of head phones and they are a generic brand from dollar general and they dont have any issues when i use them with either my pc or psp or phone for that matter

Headphone bug
Yes I too have that problem. Glad to see that it's not just me & mine.
Stupid question - for those having issues, have you tried wiggling or rotating the plug once it is plugged in? Sometimes I find if I have a spot of oxidization on the plug it will cause said uneven volume. It could explain the difference that occurs when you unplug/plug back in.
Another thing to try would be to plug them in when the device is asleep to see if that helps. If there is anything that tries to reduce the "pop" of the sound of plugging in the headphones it *might* affect how they sound after the fact.
Just grasping at straws here based on my experience with other devices.
I was having this problem until I realized I only had my headphones plugged in half way. Don't mean to be a jerk, but have you tried plugging your headphones in just a little further?

no amount of fiddling with the plug helped me at all still have the issue and its annoying since the speaker isnt loud enough when I am out and about.
Another thing to consider - another issue I've had with certain device/headphone combos is that some headphone jacks either don't have a long enough plug or the plastic jacket of the jack interferes just enough with the plug in the device to affect sound (essentially related to downsay's comment). Try a cheap pair of 'phones from the dollar store with a simple jack and see if the problem persists. If so, perhaps the device is defective...
These are a cheap pair of head phones from dollar general lol.
Edit: Plugging the headphones in while the device was asleep seems to have fixed the issue for me for now. Sound is equal in both cans now
I have tried 4 different earphones, they have been plugged in all the way. Some people have no problem, so I'm beginning to think this is a hardware defect. I'm going to exchange mine and will let you guys know if there is a difference. I'll also try out the display model and see if it suffers from this problem.
Glad to hear you got them to work. Please do let us know how it goes with returning the nook tablet.

I replaced my Nook twice partially due to this issue. Same problem on all three and it's always the left channel that is not connecting properly. I have found that I can get a good connection by plugging the jack in slowly. I think this is more a software issue than a hardware issue.
Yea just exchanged my tablet as well and the same issue is there as well as the one at the store. Plugging in slowly does help. Just before it engages the last click, if you hear both channels you're golden. Hopefully this is a software issue because it seems to be random. Unfortunately the one I exchanged has a creaking case, so now back to exchange again.
I stopped by Radio Shack this afternoon and purchased a $5 female to male 1/4" stereo connector. It seems to have solved the problem. I had similar problem years back with an iPaq PocketPC. Due to the shape of the hole on the iPaq/Nook, the headphone/earphone connector isn't inserting deeply enough.
Another solution would be to use something like a Dremel Mototool and shave away some of the excess material on the headphone/earphone adapter, so it can insert a little bit deeper.

What is everyone testing their audio on? The stock media player? Video (what program)? Is it on every application you try?
I haven't had any issues with audio in games, websites or MX player at all other than a loudish pop when some programs start up, but I'm using a set of Denon stereo headphones (so, good (large/long, gold) headphone plugs on it, jiggling the connection does nothing).
Update: Somehow the phone has figured out that the headphones have been unplugged. I guess there is something a bit shaky with that socket.
Went to the gym today using my Galaxy S3 with headphones plugged. After workout I unplugged the headphones but the phone still reports the headphones being plugged in, and the internal speaker won't sound when I receive an incoming call.
I have tried plugging in and out several times.
Any suggestions?

Restart? Lol
For some reason when I connect any 3.5mm aux cable to my S3, the sound goes extremely tinny and the volume is pretty low. It sounds as if I were listening to a pair of headphones from far away.
The only "solution" to the problem is restarting the phone, then the audio returns to normal.
I'd like to be able to use my S3 as the audio source in my car but I can't stand having to plug in the aux cable then restart the phone in order to make things work. I've tried reconnecting the cable numerous times to see if that would help with no luck. I've tried using different cables but that didnt work. The only thing that works is restarting the phone. I've even tried playing with the EQ.
Any ideas? Too late to return the phone.
Have you tried a different cable?

My guess is that it wouldn't be the cable if restarting the phone is the only thing that works.
If restarting works, that's a good sign, as it means it's likely a fixable software issue. I'd suggest flashing a different kernel or ROM.

Yeah, when I realized it's probably a software issure I was a bit relieved but I don't want to switch ROMs at the moment so it seems I'm stuck with the problem.
From what you report it sounds like the same effect you have when plugging a single-connector-headset into a normal 3.5 jack.
So my guess is that, for whatever reason the device decides that your AUX cable is in fact a headset with microphone and attempts to use it that way, leading to incorrect output.
