Tonight I try to listen some music on my Tg01 and I discovered the head phone is not working, the answer button on the lead is not functioning either. I dont think is the lead because I keep it very safely and very careful not to damage it, I suspect is the micro usb jack is faulty but I can sync with PC with no problem. Have any one have this problem before?
If I can`t solve it I just return it to Orange for a new phone Phone just 6 months old. Hate to buy a new lead because I just can`t find it and I don`t think that`s the problem, not to mention waste of money.
I am using FFboy WM 6.5.5 Sense 2.5 Beta3 rom BTW.

Where did you buy it from?
I got it from local market for £5, I am looking in to LG micro usb headphone adaptor too, I think it might work as well.

i think there's a nokia phone that uses the same adaptor too....

i know you fixed this...
but in case it helps anyone, my headphone somethimes doesn't work - the sound goes to the external speaker instead, but if i quickly dial a call (any #) & then hang up (before it rings at the other end) then the sound is diverted back to the headphones
Hi adzman808, I thing that this question was brilliantly explained in Modaco's forum by Kevin, some months ago....
http://www.modaco.com/content/toshiba-tg01-tg01-modaco-com/298887/headphone-amplified-sound-output/
I modified a couple of speakers (following the Kevin's instructions) with success. I had exactly the same issue, speakers worked perfectly but, sometimes, sound source changed randomly to device's speaker.
I just soldered a couple of resistors between left /right line and ground, as Kevin said, and problem has been definitively solved.
I'm sure that you have he same problem. By the way, in Modaco I was(am) Xdalover. Nice to hear from you in Xda dev as well.
Hope this help you
Cheers

I think it`s the same problem as my faulty toshiba lead, just yours is on the way out. Get a new lead and try it.

I believe this is a uUSB control software (driver) issue - have also experienced on occasion.
Typical scenario is when the TG01 has been on charge via the uUSB; unplug the charger and then plug in the external audio connector (eg. one of my home-brew cables used to feed an external 5.1 sound setup - see the Modaco post Pere has just flagged) - device refuses to put audioout to the uUSB and will only play via the speaker.
I have previously resorted to a S/R which evidently reset the uUSB controller to respond correctly to insertion of a B plug wired for audio.
Adzman808's solution is evidently achieveing the same result but by forcing a change of function call by initiating the phone call - hadn't thought of that trick !
I'm still looking unsuccessfully for source of the relevant chip that I identified in the previous post about the uUSB which is supposed to be able to support external charging and audio out and some other functions at the same time....

I posted this over at PPCPassion too, and someone suggested I try here...just really looking for help. Here's what happened. I woke up, and my phone (TMo XDA with PPCTechs 64MB upgrade, 128SD card), which had been left on all night, doesn't work as follows:
-When I dial a call, I can't hear the other phone ringing through the speaker...and when the person answers, I can't hear them...nor can they hear me. The phone indicates 'Dialing' and then the duration time starts when they answer
-When I get a call, my phone rings, but when I answer, same as above, they can't hear me and I don't hear them
-But the speaker and mic DO work...I tested this using a voice memo.
-Also, same symptoms whether using spkr phone on or off
Any thoughts on this? It 'fixed itself' yesterday after I performed a back up (I was going to do a hard reset/restore). THen today same problem. Did the backup just to see if somehow that solved it, but this time it's not working. Before I do the hard reset I want to see if anyone else has any thoughts.
I really dont want to have to send this to TMo since my unit has 64MB from the upgrade...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. FWIW I'm not a developer so if you recommend technical things please explain them thoroughly :0
And THANK YOU in advance!
TM
Had the same thing happen to me. Thought of hardware failure at first, tried similar things and came to similar conclusions. Tried SD Backup, then hard reset. Not solved. Înteresting that during backup one dll file seemed to be stuck (think it was a dll, although dont remember name).
In my case solved itself when I remapped the RECORD action to the left button. Very strange......
Any permanent solution or reason would be welcome....

How did you go - the symptoms are the same as dropping pin 19 to ground (for a car kit), you lose speaker and built in mic so make sure 19 isn,t shorting with 18, Steve
Speaker & Microphone not working
I encounterd the same problem - from one day to the other mic and speaker stopped working. When I connect power to the device using a USB sync cable mic and speaker are turned on again. It really seems that the XDA is set into car mode. :?
Assuming that pins 18/19 were shorted, I have cleaned the connector but this didn't help.
There's another thing which has happened to people: it appears the connector for the headphones isn't all that sturdy, so after a while the device thinks the connector always stays in. Not sure that would explain this behaviour, but just thought I'd mention it.
Same problem happened to me... help
How do you solve this problem? I have tried to plug and unplug the headset and did a reset... still the only thing that comes out of the speaker is the ring. The only want I can use the phone or hear anything is to use the hands free... Please help.

Hi
My Qtek seems to be similarly stuck in the headphone mode. Any idea how to get out of it? Would removing the headphone socket entirely help?

Hi
Can anybody confirm if sound is wired into the main connector, I currently plug into the headphone / microphone jack plug to get TomTom sounds in the car, but it would be much more convenient to insert just one connector instead of two.
Has the connector wiring diagram been published anywhere?
Cheers
Justin
oops
I have just found it
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/Connectors
Justin
Good luck!
Hi
The wiring diagram from
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/Connectors is incorrect for the Himalya.
I only managed to get sound from one channel, and grounding pin 19 did not switch off the internal speaker.
Does anybody know of another source of the pinout for the connector.
I could buy a http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=108730 but that seems expensive.
Cheers
Justin
Justin,
More than one source confirmed the pinout of the connector is correct for the Himalaya.
Are you sure you did not get thing wrong?
Maybe some other threads (key word "carkit" or "car kit") are of interest for you.
YES sound is fed to the bottom connector
BUT dependent of who you speak with (ie which rom theyre using):
- all sound (both in-call phone and pda)
- in-call phone only
Unfortunately my carkit (O2 XDA II as sold by Expansys) only let me hear in-call phone sound. My rom is the T-Mobile 1.60.00 (1.60.36 ext rom).
Hi edsub
After posting I read about the problem with sound only comming out of the bottom connector when In a call, I didn't try this. Hopefully a later ROM will fix this issue. Until then I will use the headset jack plug.
Cheers
Justin

I have the same problem with the original CarKit of the XDA I.
So this could be a general problem....
Stefan
I used to have stereo from the bottomconnector from my XDA 1, but not from my MDA 2...
As far as imknow Edsub is correct, only in-call audio works for now with most ROM's...
Getting all-audio through the speakers seems to be a rare story...
@johan: It sure is a rare story. Especially from the stories that seem to imply that one it getting all sound thru the bottom connector, I only got feedback from one person that claimed this was the case for rom 1.60.00 in combination with the T-Mobile MDAII carkit.
Which makes it even stranger because that same rom is the one I am using (and only having in-call phone audio) . . .

Rare (Eng.) = Zeldzaam (NL.) :roll:
I only read one story of a guy who said Tomtom work through the speaker, i'm afraid the was another mixup about waht speaker. The internal one or not....
According to Mocki on www.ppc-welt.info two pins are important:
pin19 should be grounded
pin9 should be UNconnected
This situation makes the T-Mobile carkit behave like wished:
When there is sound output (no matter what source):
1. radio is muted
2. sound goes via bottom connector to carkit-speakers (or car-audio line-in)
Does anyone know how pin 9 is connected inside the O2 XDAII carkit???
Help - can see any of it!
Hi
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/Connectors just gives me XML/XSL errors, and I cant speak German - really could do with a wiring diagram for the bottom connector.
I have Carcomm car cradles, Nokia Bluetooth car kits (kinda of works now) and a very neat bluetooth head set. I want the cradle to send audio to an aux input on the car stereo so I can play MP3's from the 512 SD card I just got!!
I can drill a hole in the bottom of the carcomm and attach a 3.5mm jack but it would be much better if I could use the connector
Ta!!

Thanks for that - something to do this weekend now!!

Hi
If that works it will be great, I'm not going to try it until someone else confirms it works as I need to get a hardware guy to do the soldering for me.
So if any of you are going to try it, please remember to post back here.

I have completely lost the sound from external speakers and coincidentally this has happoened since upgrading to AP4 though I am reasonably sure AP4 was NOT the cause of it. But am posting to see if this has happened to any of you. I was using an external stereo headset in the 3.5mm jack and after pulling it out, the speakers on my 7501 don't work. The weird thing is the phone will RING out the external spekaers but the actual phone calls, media player or notifications won't play out the external speakers. It is behaving as if the unit thinks a headphone jack is still in the 3.5mm slot when nothing is there. The USB port headset won't work either which leads me to believe the unit definitely thinks a 3.5mm headset is plugged in when one isn't. Everything else works perfect. Thoughts? Solutions? Please help -- can't send it in for warranty work as I cannot downgrade back to the original HTC WM6 build because of the AP4 upgrade.
Plenty of people already experienced this problem. Try to use the search function next time.
Nevertheless, here's the solution (probably):
First set up you Athena to play some music, so you can hear immediately whether the sound is working.
Then, try to poke around in the 3.5 jack using the headset (or something similar in size). Inside the jack there's a loose contact which makes your athena think a headset is still plugged in, even when it clearly isn't. After some poking, your sound should be working again

To avoid similar recur best consider a good stereo Bluetooth for music and phone.
I’ve encountered before, repeating inserting a 3.5mm jack may not always resolve the issue.
You guys are the best! (Actually I did do a search but couldn't find the problem referencing the Athena). Anyway, wiggling the headset jack about twenty times in and out reset the loose contact and restored sound from the speakers. I will not be using the 3.5mm headset again. Thanks for the help!

This problem has beset all HTC devices from the earliest SPVs, a matchstick or paperclip often help but a BT headset is easier.
Same problem .... but still not solved
These guys really are the best.
I got the point as to what the problem actually is, Still after poking the 3.5 jack in and out many times the sound (songs n calls) is still not working.
though the incoming ring is working. any suggestions pl .
(Anyway because of this problem i downgraded to spl1.2 and now using mincy's 2.04. it even solved my TCPMP not playing flash vids prob.)

Just to make clear what is happening, the 3.5 socket mechanically disconnects the speakers when you plug in the earpiece. over a period of time the spring contact looses its springiness. this leads to a poor contact and off goes the speakers. by poking this contact you are moving it till contact is made. you are best stopping using this socket if it is showing these signs before you loose sound all together. I am sure you can have a new socket fitted but I bet it isn't cheap. As already stated its best to use bluetooth.
Hope this makes things clear
Jay
If you can get your hands on one, you might rather use a headset with a extUSB jack. For instance, the standard headset from the Touch Diamond works fine on the Athena.
I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
I woke up yesturday morning looked at my phone and noticed that the little icon you see when you plug in a headset was appearing.
I thought that it was quite strange condering i never use a headset so i did the obvious thing and plugged a headset in and removed it, yet it stayed there.
I've tried everything, cleaning it, moving the jack around, i even installed a new rom and it's still stuck in headset mode.
I'm guessing it must be hardware related due to the fact that i did reinstall the rom.
If i slowly insert the jack of my headset into the 3.5mm port, there is a point where the icon changes to display just headphones.
Anyone have any ideas because it's really bugging me having to use a headset to make calls all the time?
Unfortunately, it may mean that your Hero is soon for repair.
I had this problem - instead of using the headset, you can also use it set to speakerphone as a work around for now.
For me, a week later the mini USB port only allowed charging, not USB disk or sync and was told it was a circuit problem. Sent it away and all problems have disappeared with change of the mini-usb "flex" inside the handset.
The first tech support guy said this indicated that there was an electrical contact inside the 3.5mm jack which may have got some dirt or water that was completing the circuit and making the phone think there was a jack in there the whole time. Try visually inspecting it and ?remove any dirt with high pressure air? Just an idea.
Good luck.
Did you try one of the toggleheadset apps yet? (http://code.google.com/p/toggleheadset2/ or http://code.google.com/p/toggleheadset/)
It's a far shot, as you already changed your ROM, but you might want to try it nevertheless.
I have contacted HTC but haven't heard anything yet.
The second app you posted allows me to turn it off, however for it to work properly during phone calls i have to make sure i answer the call and then turn headset mode off.
Thanks for showing me the that app as it will help me use the phone whilst wating for HTC to reply haha.
Thank you very much elmicha. Toggleheadset is a life saver app.
My HTC Hero always stucked up in headset mode if I ever plug in the headset unless it is restarted. For a long time I had been scared to plug in the headset to ever listen music coz I'll have to restart it to bring it out of headset mode.
I tried the toggleheadset2 which is available in market but it didn't work for HTC hero. Fortunately, the toggleheadset widget worked.
Thank you very much guys. XDA rocks!!!

Is there anything for a more recent build? Having a similar issue on DLEV 2.3.4 on an Infuse...
Reinstall with RUU should fix this
Hi,
I had similar issue, headset not working and device not recognised by usb. The installation of ice cream sandwich had screwed my phones drivers such that even older roms that used to work never worked again. Please install an original HTC RUU after a complete wipe, solves all problems.

My internal speaker & mic stopped working on my 6 week old Lumia 800- bluetooth & speaker phone was fine.. I soft & hard reset it but no joy.
took it to the Nokia service center that said they'd seen this before & they couldn't fix. It would have to be sent off for 10days or so.. Not impressed by this I told him to go jump...
On the way home I had an idea that this could be related to the headphone jack.. so re-plugged & unplugged headphones - and it was fixed !
clearly with certain 3.5mm plugs the jack doesn't always recognise that the plug is taken out & re-enable the internal speaker..
perhaps it was just mine (like it was new & a bit stiff ) or something to watch out for generally.
You should tell the Nokia shop guy to help anyone else with that problem
It's just yet another bug in the firmware. Sometimes if you unplug your headphones very slow or very fast it doesn't recognize it...
just like the iphone
That was the same issue with iphones for awhile. I used to have to "fix" that daily when I worked for at&t.
I think we should post all of these small, fixable issues and codes into one single thread titled "known problems and easy fixes" because nokia/ms websites blow at providing solutions. I had to use them multiple times this week because of a defective phone but they give you the way to do something if your phone was functional, not a way to fix something not working properly. It's a ****ing joke.

good idea - he said "nokia never tells you that sort of thing"
BTW it isn't firmware related.. I did a hard reset -so any state would have been wiped. The switch is part of the jack plug.

Hard reset doesn't affect your FW. I still think it is a bug in the drivers.
I picked up a secondhand lumia 800 yesterday everything was fine until I stuck my headphones in and before coming across this thread all I done to remedy the issue was reinsert my headphones 2/3 times and it sorted itself out I think there maybe a dodgy headphone switch in these phones although I have used other headphones since that and it hasn't repeated itself.
