Hi,
my htc hero , tells me that i use headphones all the time, but in reality nothing is connected,
so i can't hear anything unless i use headphones.
please help
use a cotton bud/ear swab/whatever you call it to clean the headphone jack.
you may need to remove some of the cotton for it to work, but it should sort it.
happened on the iphone a couple times
well , i tried to clean the headphone jack ,
but still nothing..
any other ideas?
dont know how to fix your problem as it could be a short circuit, a bit of dust, or even moisture etc.. .
but a great work around is the widget "toggleheadset" google search and first link. Download it , put it on your handset and install it on your homescreen as a widget. at least you could make calls while waiting for the problem to fix itself
well , i don't know if the cleaning helped before,
but i turned off the phone for the night, and when
i turned in On in the morning everything was in place..

Hi there, I newly joined the family of Athena this week.
After reading extensively about rom flashing ( I am an universal users for 3 yrs and have quite good experience with flashing rom), i decided to try my luck with my new Athena and upgraded it to WM6. Here I go.
Everything went as smooth as ever, nothing wrong. I have used it for a few days and enjoyed my new toys.
Yesterday, suddenly, I have lost all my system sound. I can't play video with sound, no more system beeps, no more speaker phone. But, the ringer is STILL there. When people calls me, I can still get the phone but I can't talk thru the speaker phone but i can do it thru handfree whatsoever.
I have tried to play a MP3 on the Athena. The media player prompted me that there is a "the specified module could not be found".
Please help me out here.... I would love to have my perfect athena back . Thanks alot.
have your tried doing a hard reset after the actual upgrade? and have you tried doing a hard reset now?
something like this happened to me when i still had the original rom installed. no sounds but whenever plugging in the headset i could take calls. all sounds were streamed to my bt headset whenever it was bonded. several hard resets did not solve the problem.
the solution was for me to upgrade to the then newly released ak3 rom. that's solved the problem but to this day i have yet to find what caused the problem. for you, you might try doing a hard reset. if that doesn't work, you may want to consider reflashing the rom you originally loaded.
hope that helps
Even after I have flashed the official WM6 rom, the problem still persists. Anybody out there can help me to get out of this unfortunate incident?
Thanks truly truly truly lots.
At last, after reading more articles on flasing and different roms, I fond that Radio Rom is in control of all those wireless "components" of my U1000. As I thought all the system sound have been incorrectly re-routed to the bluetooth (I dunno why but just a guess wild enough). I decided to take a adacious move, FLASH a NEW RADIO ROM!
I flashed Radio 1.8 into my U1000 and BANG!!! all sounds come back and everything is back to how good they used to be !!! HURRAH!!!
Thanks for everybody who has tried to help and hope this is a method to solve somebody's problem. Thanks again
hi all,
it's easy to solve, it is a hardware issue. same happened to me: the speaker jack gets so dirt that the athena thinks it has something plugged. that's why you only hear the incoming calls, because if you plug a headphone it still keeps theincoming calls ring.
you just have to clean it very carefully with a small wooden stick and blow into it to take the dirt out. be extremely careful!
I have tried that before. but to no avail. I am not quite sure if it is a HW problem or a SW one. AFter flashing it with Radio Rom 1.8.. it works perfectly but at the end I dunno why that symptom starts again.
Is it possible that my Radio Rom is somewhat corrupted and volatile that it reverts to its "corrupted" state?
Still in need of help.. thanks
believe me, its a problem of dirty jack.... look into it ensuring you have light enough to see what's inside it...
Thanks Dan. It's a hardware problem at the end I confirmed.
I tried to clean it with Alcohol Pal but the problem persists. So I send it to my serviceman to repair it.
hi
this issue has somtimes nothing to do with drit in the jack. its a desing problem of the used headphone jack in the device. somtimes when you remove the plug one of the tiny contacts dosent swing back to it's normal position, so the device still thinks u are using the headphones. these kind of problems also happend on other htc devices like the universal. on my athena (and universal) the solution is to plug and remove the headphonejack serval times, this will normaly fix the problem.
greets mad
Take a sewing pin

He is right. Just take a sewing pin and try to press contact pins to its normal position. I solved same problem in this fashion. I hope this will help you.

Hi all,
I am having the weirdest problem here and need some advice. Tried the search function but came up empty, although it seems by googling that other people have faced it. Problem is that none of the following helped.
Out of the blue my phone thinks that the handsfree jack is used at all times.
So, when i actually use the handsfree all is ok.
When i unplug it i still get the headphones icon on the notification bar and every sound except ringtones is routed to the headphones jack so i have no sound at all.
Tried:
Flashed stock rom, other developers roms, and every piece of kernel i could get my hands on. Of course in the process i did the proper wipes from the cwm menu.
Factory reset.
Sound test through the *#*#0673# menu.
Plugged - unplugged the headphones like 100 times.
Cleaned the headphones hole with cotton bud.
Applied force to the walls of the headphones hole with the jack plugged in.
Took it to a tech friend of mine who took the whole thing apart and tested almost every piece of hardware to his personal handset..everything works as it should.
For now the plan is to keep pluging unplugging the handsfree till it works. I will do that because one time it actually played music from the speaker for a couple of seconds... Unfortunately it then started using the headphones again.
I could really use some help here from the gurus PLEASE.
Thanks in advance
Alex
Nothing guys? Comon there must be something i forgot to try...

I would have to guess it's a hardware problem... although you have tested everything, still, I'd have to vote for sending it in for service

Well, thats my next conclution. It has to be the main board which is the only one we couldnt test...i just dont want to go there yet as it means that i have to sell it for spare parts.
As for sammys service i cant really go anywhere near them after what i have put my phone through
Hello!
Half year ago I purchased my Z2 and after using it for a month some problems started happening with the jack plug.When I plugged in any headphones and started listening to music, it would stop if the jack got moved even by a tiny little bit, like if you put it in your pockets or just by rotating it with my hand very slightly.I took it to the local service centre and they replaced it.It was working fine until now and it started doing it again.My phone is fortunately waterproof, never had problem with that.I'll take it to the service again but do you have any idea how to prevent this next and what could cause this?
Thank you
Bad luck bro.No one from here complained about that kind of problem.From my experience the only problem i had with the jack was when i dived the phone in to water.After that the jack was not responsitive for like 2/3 hours.I dont know if there is some kind of protection preventing it from working so that the jack can dry in that time.After the 2/3 hours the thing was that when i plug the earphones in it the same problem like yours occured for like 1/2 hours.Sometimes it detected the earbuds,sometime it didnt.It constantly connected/disconnected them,but only for like half an hour or so,then it went back to normal working perfectly.
I got the same problem, and my girlfriend got it also since two weeks ago. I fixed it (actually not fixed it, but made it much less annoying) on my phone by blowing in my headphone jack. (It has nothing to do with water here, phone hasn't been in contact with water!!)

Wow! I remember trying this before but it never worked, now I got out all the dust with a chopstick and I blowed in it really hard and now it's working perfectly.Don't know how long this is gonna last but thank you!
I have sometimes fibre from jeans stuck in the headphone jack and have to use needle to take it out, otherwise headphones aren't detected at all. I almost had a heart attack that the phone is damaged, but it was just debris from a pocket..
You could also try enabling the Smart Connect - Music on the go such that it would auto play the music tracks that you have to mitigate the problem u are facing. Else, try to get a RMA

That wont solve it at all lol. It has nothing to do with software.
I had such a problems. I messed a bit with a screwdriver and I got it fixed, but DON'T do that if you have warranty. I was scared that I almost broke it forever back then but I somehow fixed it and never touched it again.
However, what you can do is to take a needle and on the bottom there might be some dirt from the pocket. Try to take it out.

It's most likely software issue. the proof is me. I had same problem. When my Z2 can detect the earphone, I tried to reboot it without unplugging the earphone. Guess what, the earphone is undetected after phone reboot. And unplugging / plugging it again did nothing. There's workaround though, my Xiaomi Piston had button on it, so I pressed the button while plugging the earphone (there're a lot of thread about it here). Then it worked, sound came to the earphone, but the buttons didn't worked (when it works normally, the button works). So I think it's most likely have something to do with the software. If it was hardware issue, then once the earphone detected, a reboot would still make it detected.
It never happened so far on the bundled noise cancellation earphone, always detected, spot on.
A month ago, my phone hung in the earphone mode. I was temporarily handling this problem until I had enough time to go to the maintenance center through an application called SoundAbout, but this application does not work in Android O (aosp and nos) . Is there a way to make it work? Or other solution without using the application or using another application?
and sorry for bad english.
I also have same problem. My phone also show earphone plugged in all the time. So i have been using these app for my personal use.
You can use this app too it also have widget and quick notification tile which isn't showing in nos oreo yet.
Source code : https://github.com/sajorahasan/AudioRouter
can someone help me optimize the code for oreo?
I also have same problem Nothing helps...Also I use SoundAbout application...
It looks like a hardware problem

It's because of water contact...
You can simply fix this by cleaning head jack part, use some soft tissue and little thinner and a small stick but do it very carefully
I hope it's work...

Try pulling headphones forcefully and pull out with speed do this 2-3 times
I had the same problem after accidental water contact. I simply used a q-tip to remove water inside the jack and then used rubbing alcohol with it to clean it further also opened up the back and air dried the inside using a hairdryer on cold mode. It was a success.
Mind it, the alcohol I used was of high purity, else the water content would have made it worse. So be cautious
I have a redmi note 3 MTK, which happen same things like this. Then i though it spoiled, so i get a new redmi note 3 but is Kate version. Now only realize there is some application can route the audio...LOL
Guys i had this problem too but i have a easy solution..
All you have to do is take your earphone and plug and unplug them quickly 3-4 times. Then the headphone icon should go away and you will be good to go. If that doesnt work try doing it once again. I've done this trick 3-4 times and it worked everytime..hope it helped
I've had the same problem for months now. It sucks, but I can get everything to work with Headset toggle and Soundabout. The jack itself works perfectly though with headphones. I've tried cleaning the jack with condensed air and q-tips, but neither worked, if anyone still has an idea on how to solve it, then I'd be happy to try it.
Use q-tips (cotton swab) and clean headphone jack on your phone. There are many videos on Youtube how to do this.

I have the same problem. It started a couple of days before but would go away on its own. Now it's persistent. Tried cleaning the jack and all but to no avail.
use agni kernel
There is a fix using Agni and Redon kernal for Headphone jack stuck problem.
Go to Agni Kernal thread from below link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...2-10-2016-agni-purecm-n-v1-7-t3472640/page476
And download kernal zip file according to your rom. Flash it using TWRP recovery.
Between flashing when you are into aroma installer, there is and option to select headphone jack problem fix, select that option and install it.
Your headphone jack stuck problem will be end.
If it does not work then make sure you are rooted and given root permission to agni control app.
I think the simple solution to this is to go to a repair shop. As this is a common issue and happens when there's a short circuit near those parts. No need to worry, just go to a repair shop, the guy will fix it in a few minutes, depending on how trained/experienced he is.
Also why does these old threads are showing up on front page of RN3 Q&A?
Hello everyone
Guys I don't know what happened to my pixel 6, no one can hear me on a call only on speakerphone ! I didn't make any changes, the problem happened with all apps, WhatsApp, telegram, phone, Snapchat, recorder ... etc
I've tried some troubleshooting like enable microphone access in privacy, Safe mode, and finally i did a factory reset, but nothing help !
Please help me.
Thanks.
I had this problem and as my Pixel came from the UK and in my country there is no support or guarantee I had to do whatever it took to resolve it. This problem occurs on some Pixel, the microphone deforms and stops working. The solution: Fit your mouth as close as you can to the microphone outlet, try to seal it, and blow hard. I'm serious. I did it once and it started to work a little bit, then I did it a second time and it totally fixed it. I never had that problem again. You can also use compressed air

Doing this using my mouth it won't affect on any components but using compressed air there is a risk, and i did it with mouth i blew hard in charge port and the right slot where the mic existing, but no difference!
