Headphones won't turn off speakers - Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
maybe it's just me that can't find it in the android settings, but basicly when I plug in any type of headset the tablet uses both the headset and the speakers to put out audio. It just seems to turn the speakers' volume down a bit.
Any hints to solve this?
Thanks a lot.
Glenn.
EDIT: Nevermind, a reboot did the trick. Admins can delete this thread.

Headset problem / feature

Hi All
I have been told by o2 that the following is a feature:
When my XDA has an incoming call, with the headset plugged in, the 'ringing' only sounds from the headset instead of the speaker.
Is this a feature or a fault?
Comments gratefully received
I'd say bit of both.
I've had my headset plugged in and heard the ringtone through both the headset AND the unit itself, but perhaps there's a way of making it so that the headset is the only audio (perhaps plugging the jack in whilst on silent then turning it back up?).
I've definitely had the headset ring out whilst the jack is connected.
A
Feature or fault, that's a hard one to call!
I would say it working as designed, since the headset will always override the speaker in any fashion. :wink:
I've never heard of this. All the US units ring in BOTH if the headset is plugged in. Unfortunately, message notification and alarms sound only in the headset though.
Hi,
As far as I have found out the behavior is not consistent. My device sometimes only ring in the headset and sometimes ring both. I have found out if you plug in the headset and connect via USB cable to the PC it will always ring both in headset and speaker. This is true even after you have unplugged the USB. Seems to me some flag I set during USB connation that enables this... ?!
For notifications - this only works via the headset... for me at least.
I find this annoying - the SmartPhone works as it should in regards to this.
I run 4.00.05 baked at this site... keep up the good work !
I had this similiar feature/bug experience too.
My XDA rings both on the headset and its speaker. One day, at some point, I managed to put it into a strange state. I started playing an mp3 with the windows media player (WMP) without the handset, it played thru its speaker (that's correct). And then I plug in the headset, mp3 came out from only the headset (that's correct too).
After that, I pressed "stop" the mp3 in the WMP, and then "play" again, mp3 came out thru both the headset and its speaker.
I don't seem to be able to reproduce this "feature" anymore now. Well, of course, that's after a reboot a while later.
In fact, now I've got a question then. Does that mean the on/off of the speaker can be controlled in software? AFAIK, like the iPAQ, it's controlled in the hardware, that means if you plug in a headphone, the speaker of the unit will be off.
Does that mean the on/off of the speaker can be controlled in software?

Yes, evidenced by the phone behaviour. Most devices use a simple contact in the headset connector to disengage the speaker, but obviously not the PE.

I would rather ask it to be a user defined option. I believe the current setup (both ringing) came after noticing that you can simply forget your headset plugged in so you may miss some calls.
But in some situations (ex: meetings) I would like to keep the headset plugged in and get the rining only through it.

Audio issue
Hey I am having the same issue. It seems to happen when after headphone use, so the audio jack could be the issue. I think the reccomendation to move the headphone pin in the jack might work.
But the advise is that if it works, do NOT use the head phones again.
Pirate31, you were right. I could get the audio to work after moving the head phone pin around in the audio jack, done gently. Thanks.
thx rvirdi if u want anything else tht my email [email protected]
ok
bye
the problem is O2 atom
try out a back entrance while the headset jack play media
will it solve the problem if we change the headset jack? my usb-port also kinda loose so I want to change both, are there any guides for this?
Hey all finally i got solution
Opened phone and unplugged all connections and replugged then my phone works fine.
There is a problem when we placed our phone hardly the connections are losses so this kind of problem happened.
Be careful when you open in the top part of phone (camera area).

Bluetooth Headset problem

Hi guys,
i have a SE HBH-DS970 stereo bluetooth headset and i can't pair it with my G1. the phone can't see the headset. is there another way to pair it? i need it only for calls till A2DP will be supported.
any ideas?
Are you sure the headset is in pairing mode and has the handset profile?
the headset doesn't have to many options so yeah it's in pairing mode. i took out the manual to see if i'm doing something wrong but still no luck, the phone doesn't find the headset. i had a diamond before i switched for G1 and it worked perfect.
no ideas? (
List of compatible devices. If yours isnt on there then im guessing it needs A2DP or one of the other not yet supported profiles.

well Motorola HT820 is listed there, but my friends and mine won't play music from our g1s .. i hoped at least for mono xD but nothing.. just pairs^^
For music you will probably need to wait for A2DP support.

[Q] bluetooth speaker phone defaults

I am sure this may be an issue for some people. my car stereo has bluetooth that links with my phone and mutes the car stereo and turns on speaker phone when a call comes in. i like the fact that it mutes the stereo since i usually have it very loud, but my problem is i cant set it to default to the phone earpiece and not the speakerphone, even when i answer a call and press the button to keep it on the ear piece, it switches right back to the stereo a second later, i press it again and it stays on the phone. i have had this issue with all my other phones as well and it drives me nuts. is there anyone who can come up with a fix for this?
i appreciate any input anyone may have on this.....
thanks
It is not a problem with the phone, it is to do with bluetooth profiles as they are designed to communicate with TWO devices not THREE. I also use car stereo for playing my music. I do not get that many calls while driving so I never use my bt headphones.
Moved to proper forum.
sorry about posting in the wrong forum. I am only trying to get it to default to the handset when i pick up a call. i do not use it to play music, so i have no need for that to even be an option, i just want to be able to pick up a call on my phone, and have it stay on my phone while it uses the bt link to mute and un mute the stereo. i find the speakerphones in car stereos to be totally worthless for talking, but i find the mute feature very useful.

smartphone not recognizing headphone jack

PROBLEM:
Essentially my phone has stopped recognising when headphones have been plugged in, but the headphone port isn't broken since it plays audio through both the speakers and the headphones at the same time. I recognize that this might be a hardware problem, so I'm just looking for a temporary fix. Ideally a small app that allows me to toggle where the sound is played through.
SPECS:
Rooted android 4.4
Cubot s308
ALREADY TRIED:
Checked headphone port for dust/debris using a light, wiggled inside with a cotton bud and so on
Tried a few apps, notably 'sound about' which doesn't actually change anything
Other headsets - all I have tried have the same issue, so its not a headset issue
All other posts I can find are where the headphone out is permanently on, or where the port just doesn't work, so any help would be apreciated.
