Headphone icon bug on latest global stable rom 8.5.8.0 - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

So I'm using Redmi Note 4 snapdragon for about 4 months and i never encountered any problem till now... I don't know if it's because of update or what but my mobile is showing headphone connected symbol in status bar... If a call comes i can't hear through earpiece i have to plug in headphones or switch to speaker mode. Moreover i can't play songs on speaker as it is in headphone mode... I searched on net for hours and tried to clean with earbud... Formatted the phone/reset... I tried to change mi sound enhancer settings plugging in headphones in and out... Rebooted several times... Nothing works... So wanted to ask what to do? Will switching to custom rom solve my problem? Is it because of update or hardware fault? Any help would be much appreciated :')

Well, you're not alone.
The solution is to plug in your headphone/earphone again n' again and unplug it until the icon/sign gets disappear.

Problem with audio jack switch

Hi everyone,
I'm a user of the Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon variant) and I'm facing a strange issue with the audio jack.
If I connect a headphone rapidly, the phone recognizes it and everything goes perfectly. But, if I connect it slowly, like in 2 steps (first I insert half the connector, and then I push it all the way in), it is recognized (and the headset icon appears) only when it is halfway in, and after pushing it, the icon in the statusbar disappears. The music plays perfectly from the headphones, but programs like Viper4Android misbehave, and leave the output set to Phone Speaker.
I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software problem, because now I'm on CM13, and the same happened even on MIUI, but the music plays from the headphones anyway in both the cases.
Tell me if it happens also for some of you.
Thanks
Hardware issue. Go to service center

Happens to me too, so it's definitely not an isolated issue.
It happens to me too. I push the headphone in rapidly and its not recognized. If I push it in halfway its recognized as headphones but sound is quiet. If I push it in fully it gets loud but the media pauses and it isn't recognized as headphones anymore.

Headset mode issue.

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

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

Headphone icon constantly showing

Hi all
I'm on the latest MIUI China Dev ROM. For some reason, my headphone icon is always showing that it's connected, and I can't hear calls. When I plug headphones in, all I hear is static.
When I unplug the headphones the icon briefly disappears and then comes back. I've tried to clean the headphone port and and plug/unplug headphones over and over to no avail.
Any ideas?

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!

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.

Call sound problems on MIUI 8 on Redmi Note 4

Hey,
I have had the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 for a month now and I am totally satisfied. I love MIUI, and its specification, it's performance, and everything. However, today I commenced to have a problem with call sound. No matter who calls me, I have trouble listening to them. Everything works fine if I put on headphones and I am pretty sure it's not a hardware problem since the speaker and the microphone work perfectly in other apps. I can distinguish some sound but it is very hard. It doesn't work even in the maximum volume. What can I do to stop this?
By the way, the other side can hear me fine.
Here's a screenshot of me trying to change the volume, so as to make things work for once:
imgur.com/ wzJTLmS (I can't make it parsable because I'm new)
I noticed that in the left side, there's no phone icon, like it used to be when I changed the volume during a call. Maybe that's the problem?
Thanks
I too have the same kind of problem, where I am not able to hear the other person on call suddenly. Please let me know if there is any fix for this.
Ok, I did face the same problem from a few days now, tried clean flashing the two roms & still the same, so thought of flashing Miui rom, but I just connected my earphone and listened a song approx. 4 mins, then unplugged it and then tried calling to my friend and there's no issues, it's been fixed now.
If I want to play audio having headphone during the call,,and need to play audio someone during the call so that he/she can also listen it properly...is it possible bcoz it's in samsung j7 prime..I am having redmi note 4.
Dear all,
I experience the same this morning.
Was able to fix it.
Got to settings, scroll down to do not disturb, and turn it off all sound is now working. Cheers!!!!
I'm facing the same problem, if I test the earpiece with *#*#6484#*#* and sound perfectly fine, but when I make or receipt a call the earpiece volume is low, How did you fixed it?
Just plug your headphones in and out 3-4 times, and it'll work fine. Has happened with me twice or thrice now.
Cheers.
Change earphone try with some good earphones like JBL mi.
