Hi all, I seem to recall reading a post from someone who was suffering the same problem quite some time ago now, but I'll be damned if I can find it.
Basically my official HTC headphones worked well for a while, then I butchered them to solder on a 3.5mm female adapter. These worked correctly for some time then suddenly the headphone adapter miniUSB connection became a bit dodgy. One minute I'd be in work sneaking a quick episode of Kyle XY in, then suddenly the minutest touch of the mini-USB plug and sound is blaring out of the phone's internal speaker... not good! It would appear the connection of the miniUSB plug has become a little bit dodgy.
I've now bought a new miniUSB > 3.5mm female adapter from Expansys, and although better initially, the connection via the miniUSB jack is progressively getting worse. The slightest touch of the jack and sound is blaring out of the speaker. I'm assuming the contacts between the miniUSB jack and the phones' femail miniUSB connector are a little flaky for some reason.
Anyone have any experience of this, and any ideas how to resolve it?
open it up and learn how to solder..
if the contacts to the board are broken, solder them back. problem solved
if the jack itself is damaged, buy a broken 8525 or just the board, and switch the jacks. problem solved
help me out guys
i have just ran into a problem when i downloaded the new jfupdater update cupcake and now the headphone adapter doesnt work anymore can anyone help me out with this and let me know if they have ran into the same problem or if you have any ideas
Hello,
Today I bought YC-A300 adaptor and soon after unpacking I realized that the device doesn't work properly. It occurs that 2.5 mm jack socket has two lines swapped - left audio with microphone input. Obviously the attached headset doesn't work as a result. Despite of this, other sockets work fine (i.e. ext USB for charging, ext USB for audio and 3.5mm jack audio). I would like to emphasize that the device is original HTC product. To give you better idea of this fault see connection diagram below:
Standard 2.5 / 3.5mm jack:
1. (tip of the plug) Left audio
2. 1st ring - right audio
3. 2nd ring - microphone
4. common ground
My 2.5mm jack is connected like this:
1. (tip) mic input
2. right audio
3. left audio
4. ground
Due to this problem I have two questions - am I alone with this or someone else also experienced such issue? And the second - has anyone tried to open the case of this adaptor? Obviously I have warranty for this, but my internet supplier wants to wash hands of it and local HTC service center needs ages to check if they can repair this (lol). Normally I could wait for weeks/months and argue firstly with my supplier and later with service center, but I bought this device for about 10 Euro (I live in Eastern Europe so OEM prices are lower) and I don't think it's worth the effort to fight with them. Since I'm an electronic engineer I could try to repair it myself, but firstly I would like to know if there are issues with opening the case (it seems possible to brake it during opening).
Thanks in advance for any replies.
I have had this problem for a while now.
I don't have any sound from my loud speaker in my S2, and the microphone is not working either.
I can only hear sound/use a mic when I connect an earphone (mic working is the earphones' mic).
I replaced these parts with new ones:
- earpiece speaker flex cable ribbon
- Loud Speaker Ringer Buzzer
- USB dock port flex cable (since the mic is in this part)
Nothing changed.
I'm pretty certain it is not software-related issue since I installed many roms since, and I even got back to stock, but it won't change anything.
What do you guys think? Any way I can resolve this issue?

You are not gonna like my response but its time to visit service center or mobile repair shop.
Thanks ☺
It's probably the motherboard right? Don't see much value in reparing it if this is the case since phones are getting pretty cheap today...
Hi guys.
I have had this issue for awhile and have put it off thinking it was a headphone cable issue but it's not.
I have already tried cleaning with contact cleaner and rubbing alcohol.
My issue is that my phone will trigger "Google voice" search just by slight movement at the cable /jack junction. This is insanely annoying considering I bought this phone due to its audio prowess.
It will also automatically pause or change tracks with the same jack/cable movement.
I am Canadian and bought this from HK via ebay. I am one of those who almost never bother with warranties but obviously would seeing as I spend near a grand on this thing. How would I begin on a warranty claim?
Thanks.
Seems to be a common issue, unfortunately. I haven't really found a way to fix it yet.
How new is your device?
What type of finish is on the end of the cables ends?
I use this cable with almost no issue. Once in a while it will trigger voice when I plug in. But that's all.

I've also got a phone from HK prior to release in my country and have been struggling with this.
It looks to me that this is because of the way the phone detects your device. I've that the headphones that comes with the device and other earbuds works with no problems, but my bigger M40X for example have this.
The best solution I've found so far is this: plug it and leave it (not moving it at all) for about 10 seconds. After this the problem seems solved most of the time.
Unplugging and re plugging it several times also worked sometimes at the begging, but it was very frustrating and probably not so good for the longevity of the jack.
I'm actually about to make a factory reset for other reasons, but I'll post here if it makes any difference.
UPDATE: The factory reset did not fix the issue, but I have the impression it's triggering the high gain with my m40x as now I've noticed increased volume and no difference to when doing that trick of plugging the detachable cable first to the phone and then to the headset. Don't ask...
I had this issue a few times on my previous phone (Droid Maxx) when in the car, as I was plugging it in (usually when there was turbulence). I thought it was due to the tip of the plug contacting one of the other contacts in the jack. See this link for what the different parts of a headphone/mic combo plug or jack are. I'm not sure if your cable has all of those, but if the wrong ones touch maybe it triggers the mic to listen. Or internally your cable may be shorting between the different signals. Just spitballing ideas.
You know what guys, a friend of mine really liked my phone and got one as well. So when he got it I asked to him to test the jack problem with my headphones and it was simply not there. I do suspect this is a problem with the device. I'll try to get in touch with LG a second time for support (as the first time they asked me to get back to the country where I got it, the Philippines, and this is not really an option).

Funny you mentioned the volume increase. That is a trick I learned from someone in another thread as the standard gain setting for low impedance headphones was too weak. That made a vast improvement in volume and was a life saver because I bought this phone specifically for its audio abilities.
As for the Google voice thing the only thing I found that worked was going under apps and disabling the Google app which is ridiculous considering it kills Google on tap which is a big feature of android.
I am pretty sure this is being trigggered by the jack somehow engaging a contact. Explains why it's triggered when I move.
Drives me nuts. Read somewhere that MM fixed this but not for me. I will try enabling Google app and uncheck all the voice options and see if this helps.
You know what, after struggling long with this I've finally gathered the balls to buy a headphone jack part and replace it myself. I've done it with my old Nexus 4 (the jack actually broke there).
It takes a while to arrive, but I'll perform the change and post the result here.
Where I got it from:

I sometimes have the voice recognition and volume issue, but for me it appears to be an issue with my headphones (Bose MIE2i). I don't have the issue with any other headphone or cable. I have this issue when I fiddle with the in-line controls of the Bose (both this and the 1st pair of Bose). My belief was that it was due to poor shielding of conductors in the controller or shoddy wiring connections.
Did u ever solve the problem with replacement? Im having issues with left and right volume. Like a shorted cable, but bought new phones & still doing that.
Just in case anyone is still suffering from this problem, I made a discovery today. I've replaced the headphone jack in my v10 3 times thinking that they're just ****ty headphone jacks that break all the time, but in my case at least the fault wasn't the contacts inside the jack itself. I found that my problem was actually related to the push-down connector that clips to the motherboard. I had a hunch that keeping the phone in my pocket with headphones connected was slowly rocking it back and forth and would eventually disconnect it. In order to add more clamping pressure to the connector, I put 3 small slices of electrical tape on top of it before screwing the back down. On my walk home today, the left earphone would disconnect with literally every step that I made. After putting the electrical tape in the problem was solved.
Hello,
My phone fell off the car stand once with a cable inserted, which I assume broke some pins in the jack. This made it always detect that there is an audio device with mic inserted.
After a few weeks, during which I've been using one of those switch apps to make due, I replaced the audio jack in my phone with a replacement jack connector I got from Ebay.
But, the issue still persists! I've tried factory reset, and rebooting ofcourse, but to no avail.
Is this caused by simply a faulty replacement or is something else going on here?
