Hello,
I have a chinese MTK6592 phone, have had it for 2-3 weeks and been listening to music every day with my Samsung original headphones since the sound quality is much better than the quality of the ones I got with the phone.
Yesterday all suddenly the phone did not detect that the headphones were plugged and would play music through the headphones and phone´s speaker. So i tried the ones that came with the phone and the phone immediately detected the headphones. So i removed them and plugged the Samsung ones back in and everything worked fine...
Until i unplugged the Samsung ones, after that the phone wont detect the headphones, but it will detect the ones that came with the phone. Not even after restart it will recognize the Samsung ones. And they work, I tried them in my tablet and my tablet recognizes them immediately.
The plug is identical, I have not been able to find any lint in the jacket.
Anyone have an idea what could be wrong ?? I am rooted, even though i doubt that´s a factor.
Thankful for ANY help.

I have a Vibrant on which the sound stopped working. I would appreciate any input on diagnosing the issue.
I bought the phone for my daughter to use as an PMP with no cell service. It got it super cheap because it wasn't working. The previous owner had gotten it wet, which is confirmed by the water damage indicators. He said it worked up until he couldn't get it to turn on. I diagnosed an issue with the power button and replaced it. It powered on and worked fine all day. The one issue I noticed was that it wouldn't shut down all the way. It gets stuck on the pink square that says, "good bye" and then I have to remove the battery.
My daughter spent the evening playing Bag Piggies and Happy Street with the sound working fine. After she went to bed I loaded some music on it via a USB cable. I think the sound may have stopped after that, but am not sure. When I got up this morning no sound would come from the speaker or the headphone jack. Otherwise, it works fine. Though no sound comes out of the headphones the player stops when I remove the headphones, so it must know the headphones are in. Sound does work when I connect it to my Blue Tooth speaker. I tried a factory reset, but it didn't make any difference.
I read in another thread that someone said something about the sound, light and proximity sensors are all connected by one cable. I can't test the proximity sensor because I can't use the phone function, but it seems that the light sensor isn't working. With auto brightness on the brightness doesn't change when I cover the sensor or hold it up to light. I did disconnect this cable and re-connect it a couple of times, but nothing made any difference.

What Rom are you running?
It is stock, but it is rooted.
I am pretty sure it is the part that is all connected between the earpiece, headphone jack and sensors. I ordered a replacement from e-bay which looks exactly the same, but the plug is just a tiny bit different, so it didn't work. Frustrating.
You should use Odin to flash a stock firmware first to see if it solve the issue with the shut down.
About the parts, you might have gotten the S4G (T959V) headphone jack which if I remember correctly do no fit the T959. However, the speaker, camera, slimslot and screen are exchangeable between the two.
Hi ,
I recently upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S3 ( UK ) , and for the first time today have connected it to the auxiliary input in my car stereo.
Before this phone I had the Galaxy S1 and all worked fine with no problem.
There are a few concerns I`d like the answer to and hoping that someone here can shed some light on it.
First of all, the battery on the phone was low when I left home, so I plugged the phone into the car charger ( one that accepts a USB cable, and was charging through that ). My first dissapointment was that I STILL got interference from the charger when playing audio , i had hoped this may have gone away since I was charging via a USB cable, but I still get a hiss in the background that is more apparent during quiet moments of songs - this is not such a major issue as I was used to it with the S1. Still, if anyone knows how to prevent this I would be grateful.
Anyways, the noise was becoming irritating so once the phone had ample charge to see me into work I disconnected the charger.
When I did this, the audio level dropped noticably and seemed to become more `tinny`. Why would disconnecting the charger cause this to happen?
Also, some tracks seemed to almost totally lose vocals , for example when Foo Fighters `The One` started playing it almost sounded like an instrumental. When I plugged the charger back in the audio level increased but still sounded odd.
When I got into work I plugged my PC speakers into the phone and it sounded fine through that. This would indicate the problem lies in the car somewhere, however I never had this problem with the S1.
When I plug the 3.5mm cable in , the phone detects `headphones` rather than auxiliary, I am sure the S1 used to notice accurately if the device attached was headphones or auxiliary. However, anything plugged into the S3 shows as headphones.
I am using the Android Poweramp app, which i absolutely love, so I would rather not change that as a solution - but I will try a different player later for diagnostic purposes.
Short version of this post -
1) How can I get the phone to detect auxiliary is attached and NOT headphones - I`m sure this affects the output level.
2) Why does the volume level change when the charger is disconnected?
3) Why would the audio sound like the vocals have been muted in the car when its fine on headphones and PC speakers?
4) Is there a way to get rid of the annoying interference hiss when charging whilst playing?
If anyone can help with this I would be most grateful
Many thanks
Ade
Guess I should have done a little more fiddling before posting!
The problem was a faulty audio cable , it just threw me how the volume levels changed when the phone was been charged. I still find that odd.
Anyway, sound quality and volume levels are fine now. I also learnt that you can disable the headphone notification along with the app suggestions in the notification window. This was in Accessory in the phones system settings , just uncheck the Audio Applications box under Earphones. I expect everyone here knew that already though!
The only issue I have left is the interference noise from playing audio while charging, I suspect I may need a more shielded charger or cable?
Hello Dear Xda,
I am having a very strange issue with the Audio Jack. When I got my phone I used samsung headphones and they seemed to have worked perfectly. Now when I tried using other headphones - i.e. the ones that work perfectly with my other devices, it simply wont register. I put the jack in, but nothing happens. the music keeps playing. I thought its only that headphone so I tried others, such as my Car's cassette adapter still the same issue arises.
Now I tried my mothers phone which is a Galaxy SL and it works perfectly with all the headphones that wont work for me. then I decided to squeez teh headphone a bit harder and turn it around in different directions and it started to work a bit, with terrible quality, but it worked. and if i hold it into a certain awkward position you could hear the sound almost flawlessly.
I have came to the conclusion that my jack might have a problem. But I am not aware how to fix the problem. Cause it works perfectly with some headphones, but it wont with others. Does this requires full change of the jack, or can it be fixed by readjusting it somehow?
inb4: I have restarted the phone several times, changed to factory setting and even changed rom to no avail, so this clearly is no software issue.
Thanks in advance
Replace jack. Should be YouTube videos around/Google search might reveal how to do it, but in all honesty, if you're not competent with microelectronics (like me), take it to someone who knows what they're doing (local mobile repair shop). Shouldn't be expensive to fix as the jack is a cheap part, main component of the fix will be labour.
Hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllo XDA peeps.
so ages ago we all got the marshmallow update and i must say, issues have been a real thing. I did consider ROMS but too risky as i use this phone daily for business's and such.
Anyway so one problem I can not find across the whole internet is the AUX cord problem, now when i drive, I plus in the cord and this notification appears saying "Headset is connected" then disappears, then repeats almost 8 times and lags my phone which after this, goes to normal and finally works. However!
I found that in lollipop I had never had this issue, I just plug in and it works perfectly. As well as this, I found its not a hardware issue, reason being is that other headphones work, every set of headphones i plug in work like a charm.
I have cleared data and cache from smart connect, even disabled it and nothing. Ive booted in safe mode, nothing.
I really just want this sorted as I love this phone, I do. Im not sure if this is a Marshmallow update bug or something but if any fix can be found or advised to me; Id love you forever, because i miss being able to just plug in and play and not waiting for this bug to simply calm itself from this spasm.
Lag is an issue, I have no clue why but it seems the newest update caused things to get hot, lose alot of battery quick and just plain ol' lag. Any fixes on this to is perfect, at the moment though I iwsh to get the AUX cord fixed as a priority to lag.
Anyway, thanks guys and hope to hear something soon! After all, this is a 007 phone, bond never had these issues
Are you sure its not the physical connection on your phone? May it happened to get damaged when you upgraded MM.
Headphones work fine for me. I recently got a rental car with no bluetooth and bought a cheapo stereo cord to hook to the car's speakers and I saw this occur. No lag though. The major annoyance was that goggle play music would stop thinking the headset was unplugged. After some dangerous debugging while driving, it seemed like one end of the chord was defective. When I swapped the problem went away.

Literally nothing hardware related, the cord in my car works fine with other devices. It's very weird and as I say, I did a short test and found that lollipop on this device actually creates no problem, I then updated tonight and found it happens again.
I think it's more software related and I hope android N is just a pure wave ?
I have the same issue.
So so many problems with this phone ?
I have the same problem as well. What I do is plug the jack, wait for it to finally recognize it and then launch the app I need
Hello all, I hope I'm writing this to the correct section; if not please let me know.
I have a Redmi Note 4, MTK variant. 2 days ago it randomly stopped producing audio.
Speakers doesn't work, when I put my headphones the phone recognizes it but again, no sound. When someone calls it doesn't ring and it records blank on voice recorder.
What I've noticed is; sometimes instead of getting audio I get static noise from speakers/headphones.
And yesterday I've moved my charging cable left and right and I barely got audio working for a few seconds alongside a loud noise. (Which also ruined my charging socket sadlol)
If I connect to my TV via Wi-Fi, I get sounds though.
I tried resetting my phone, installing a new ROM, flashing to stock files; always same result.
I went to the service today (some random tech place, they aren't officially in my country), they fixed the charging port but said they can't fix audio.
What can I try to fix it, or at least bypass? Because even a Pixel 3A is $700 in my country, and I'm stuck few months with this phone.
Thanks.
Edit: Apparently there's no fix. Used it for a few months with a Bluetooth headset, then had to buy a new phone.
