Headset mode issue. - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I own the mobile and the MIUI version is 8.0.5 Global Stable.
Yesterday I was testing an Intex speaker and I plugged the jack into the phone to play some songs(earlier I've done and had no problems). I didn't notice since when the headset mode has turned ON but definitely it has to be from yesterday.
The headphone icon is persistent at the top of the screen(sometimes headphones with mic and sometimes with only headphone icon). Either way, I am unable to process calls and music and videos. I tried some third party app from playstore and of course I could override it to play music and videos but coming to the calling, it fails and starts flashing/toggling and the sound I hear is distorted as if it's continuously toggling between ON and OFF condition.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Till now I've tried cleaning it for any dust particles, reboots, plugging in and out but none has succeeded.
I don't think it is the dust because I can easily able to override and play music and stuff.
The device has locked bootloader if in case someone suggests a solution and need this info.
Thanks.

You can use the Soundabout app as a temporary fix.

Back up all data and then you can perform a hard reset or clean flash with miflash

Performed factory reset but didn't succeed.
Bootloader is locked so I'm planning to downgrade to 8.0.1.x

is your problem only for Intex speaker or all 3 pin aux connecter
may be you are no problem with 4 pin connector
1) Firstly Check the Audio jack Some times from Dust or Small damages..........
2) Go back the previous Rom Official Rom link
V8.0.1.0.LHOMIDG
V7.3.7.0.LHOMIDD
if these steps didn't helped you before unlocking the boot loader &fix this issue from root access Contact service center

The problem is not with the connectors.
By default the phone thinks as earpiece or headphones are connected.
When I try to play music or call, the headphone icon on top of the screen starts flashing as if I am plugging in and out continuosly.
Flashed previous ROM which is 8.0.1.0. Still, the problem persists.

i have the almost same problem, but with one difference - after plugging a headphones music stops playing and google app starts

S3 always showing pluged in earphones icon. Module replacement didn't help.

Hello
I have problem with my s3 i9300. Last week I recognised that earphones icon is always showing that they are pluged in, even if they not. I ve tried to reinstall firmware, fully cleaned cache, tried to clean socket with compressed air. Nothing helped. However, using SoundAbout app sound plays nicely thru speaker and thru headphones. (so it should mean parts are working).
Today I received headphones/speaker module replacement from ebay. I replaced it, but now its even worse, speaker not making any sound at all and earphones icon is still on top all the times (I asked for refund on ebay because I think the module is broken). However, because its still showing headphones icon, I think problem is somewhere else.
Any Ideas what else I can do, before taking phone to service and being there robbed?
I appreciate your help!
First, if you changed that module, Samsung official Service can't do anything about it. As they would say it is your fault. You should have gone to the service first. At least to ask they if they have a solution. I saw you deleted cache, but try first to backup everything, and then format all partitions (save backup on SD card). Then flash another ROM.
You said that now speakers aren't working now, but does the headphones work ? Are you sure you didn't damaged some of speaker's components while changing the jack ?

Ive bought this phone secondhand without warranty so Samsung service cannot help me anyway.
How to format internal storage? You really think it could help?
Its just my English, that's why I cannot explain clearly. Sorry for that
Module 1
Original headphones/speaker module issues:
1) Earphones icon always on top
2) Media is playing only thru headphones (ringing tone/notifications working fine, sound can be redirected to play from speaker using SoundAbout).
Module 2
Headphones/Speaker module from Ebay issues:
1) Earphones icon always on top
2) Media is playing only thru headphones
3) Ringing tone/notifications not working. (Media cannot be redirected to play sound from speaker using SoundAbout app)
4) No sound at all from speaker
I have played around with both modules a few times. Everytime I plug it in, they got same issues.
Anyway, I'll try to reinstall different firmware now. I'll let you know results, but honestly I dont believe It could help because I've never used custom ROM. All firmwares I've installed are from SAM mobile site.
Internal memory format and new firmware (I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_BTU) installation didn't help. Galaxy still thinks that earphones are pluged in.

[Q] S3 - I9300 speaker not working

I've had a very strange issue crop up yesterday. My external speaker (the one on the back of the phone) volume has suddenly become very very low, you have to hold it to your ear to hear anything. The headphones and all are working fine
OS: CM11 M8 - been using this for over a week now
Stuff I've tried
1. I don't think I installed any app or made any update that would make the speaker behave this way.
2. I've checked the volume panel and all are at full. I've tried using multiple music players/alarms etc to see if it works and the volume is extremely low in all of them.
3. I've tried rebooting the phone.
Please help
Edit: a couple of forums say that it might be due to the headphone jack not recognizing that headphones have been removed. Seems possible since my speaker is not crackling/buzzing and gives clear sound but at a very very low volume level. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
Help ... tried cleaning the headphone jack, removing the battery and restarting the phone. Not willing to do a factory reset if it's a hardware fault
What do you suggest ?
Got it solved, and in a very strange way
Restored my orignal 4.0 rom with twrp image. That suddenly caused all my speakers to start working. Moved back to the CM image and everything still works fine
Weird but true, mods can you add solved to the title

Microphone is not working when loudspeaker is on

Hi! I have a problem with my m4. The mic seems to turn off when i switch to loudspeaker during a call or if i start a fb messenger call with camera on. However the mic works fine with normal calls, i can record, use google speech etc. Mic test succeeded. Safe mode on and the same thing happens. I have put newest rom for central europe 26.1.A.2.147, wiped all possible data via flashtool and even on clean phone without any apps the problem still exists. I did not change any settings or so. It is just the mic not working when i wany to use loudspeaker ( the onr on the bottom of the phone). I also had issues with lower volume levels than in other m4, but here the rom update might help - i will see in fee days as i did rom update today. Do You have any idea what is wrong? The phone never had contact with water etc.

Totally nothing. I hope service will fix it.
Same Problem here
Guys did found how to fix this?
Hi, guys.
I had the same issue but it has fixed itself already. Yesterday I wanted to show my friend that on loudspeaker 2nd mic doesn't work but... It worked. I was shocked, I hadn't done anything special. Maybe it was some app issue that is uninstalled now, or that was a virus? I don't know, however it works now.
I m also facing the same issue on my m4 my voice doesnt goes through loudspeaker mode during calls.
I went to the service centr n they r also failed to solv this problem.

Sony microphone doesn't work with loud speaker on
I'm having exactly the same problem with my Sony Xperia M4 Dual Aqua. When the loud speaker (audio output) is on, the microphone doesn't work anymore. I can't be heard by the person on the other end of the phone. Has anyone found a fix to this? The phone has 2 microphones, so maybe there's a conflict with the speaker and microphone or maybe the second microphone doesn't work - anyone got any ideas?
Anyone solved it yet?
I have e2333
I removed memory card and restarted phone, and it worked, i think memory card is interfering with noise cancellation mic, bcoz when you test the mic with audio recorder, you will find noise cancellation mic is low

Thx for sharing,i tried to do this but still like before. I have e2333 too,n it had marshmallow official update last night but didnt solve the problem
it has nothing to do with any software issue or any thing with memory card. all it has to do is with its headphone jack. it permanently recognizes that a headset with mic is connected so it lets the primary mic non functional. and it is probably due to moisture in the motherboard connecting the jack or may b due to numerous fall from heights that lets the jack very lose. try inserting a headphone leave that headphone for a while let ur device get heated up by heavy use or over charging. then remove the jack test the mic again it shall work. if not repeat the procedure again and again till it works. and this method has been tested by me as well as several other users in my proximity. so all the best guys hope it works for ya too. important thing is it might stop working again. so keep repeating

NO Multimedia SOUND - Need help

Hello everyone!!!
I have a problem, a very big problem...
I had CM14.1 5/12 Official build nightly properly working, and I left the phone without using it for about 2 hours... When I took it, I tried playing music, but there was no sound... However, I was receiving notification sound... I made a call, on both modes, normal and speaker mode, it worked, calling to myself - the phone rang... But no multimedia sound, music players, YouTube... No multimedia sound was being reproduced...
I reflashed the ROM, with full wipes, and flashed plenty of ROMs, both MIUI, CM13 and CM14.1 based, also restored full MIUI backup from TWRP... No result, fastboot flashed offical global dev 6.12.1, EDL and fastboot flashed 7.5.3 MIUI, flashed Qualcomm factory ROM by QFIL... No result!!
If I put my headphones, multimedia sound works, but won´t reproduce on speaker... On MIUI and Qualcomm factory ROM, the headphone logo appears on the statusbar, and it can´t be removed, no matter headphones are connected or not... I think this has something to do with this problem!
Any idea?
Pls help!! I am lost and I don´t know what to do more than that!
Thanks and regards!!
Try to clean the headphone jack ...
May be water had entered into the headphone jack...
In such a case, keep the mobile reverse (headphone jack facing downwards) for at least 2-3 hours and clean the jack with cotton and blow air into the jack.
Also try to use volume control apps from playstore to increase media volume
Also enter into the QC Test mode and test the hardware....

i had the same problem few years back on Zenfone 2 4gb, whenever i flash custom kernel or cm roms.. this used to happens with my device specifically.. headset always plugged in... in your case first you have to figure out is this issue is physical or software issue, whenever you get headset pluged in.. just plug in the headset and then take it out.. now play music and observe the issue...
secondly there may be water or moisture joining the contact pins.. buts thats rare.
Thank u all for your answers, I first got the answer on CM14.1 post...
The headphone jack was dirty, with a small stick, I introduced it and screen turned on and stick got a little dark... And now it works!! So it was hardware problem (software was almost impossible, I had tried everything)
Thanks and regards everyone!

the heaphone jack is the problem... its been shorted i suppose and thus phone thinks headphone is connected.... to verify this try some root app that disables the headphone jack

I had the same issue. No media sound but sound working fine in notifications and alarm. Was on Stock MIUI. Changed to Nitrogen Rom. The issue persisted. When I searched around find this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/help/sound-speaker-playing-music-t3478002
Tried the solution mentioned there i.e. plugging and unplugging a headset into the jack a few times fastly. I did around 8 plug unplugs and it worked.

Glitching speaker

Hi, since B130 update speaker on my honor 9 started glitching. Changing the quality of sound, lowering volume etc. I've only experienced it in several music apps (not Spotify). Weird is also the fact that it glitches only for 1 or 2 songs at the start and then it stops. I don't use the speaker that much but when I do it's not pleasant thing to hear. I was wondering if it is some sort of software problem or the speaker itself is damaged? If the speaker would turn out to be damaged I would make warranty claim.
Edit. Just got B150 update, problem persists

Try enabling the Mono Audio in the Accessibility settings
Try performing a hard factory reset on your device but wipe the cache partition in the Recovery Mode menu first. If the problem still persist after this then your device is indeed faulty.
