XDA O2 speaker phone problem- please help!! - General Accessories

Hi all,
I bought my XDA O2 from South East Asia about 4 months ago. I love the phone from the start. However, recently the speaker phone stopped working. The last thing that I remember is that I tried to plug in a headset to test it. I didn't notice the problem with the speaker phone until the next day. I read some messages posted on the forum suggesting that I play a music and try to plug the headset and pull it out right away...I tried that and it didn't solve the problem. My phone still works fine except the "Speaker Phone". I can hear the sound when I plug in the headset. I also tried taking everything out and inspect the connection between the speaker to the board. Evereything seems to be connected nice and firm. What else can I do to get my speaker phone to work again? Do I need to upgrade the ROM? Getting this phone to be serviced by the shop that I purchased it from is impossible.
Any assistance is greatly apprecated!
Thanks,
Henry

Silenced in Broadit car cradle.

XDAIIi silenced only in broadit car cradle. Not in O2 USB or expansys generic USB. Wife has exactly same XDAIIi and both from hard reset only mine is silenced when on car charge. Can anyone enlighten me?
I have just started having exactly the same problem after installing the latest O2 rom update.
Is there a registry hack or something to send the Tom Tom thru the unit speaker and not try to look for a car mount kit speaker or whatever it's doing?
Thanks

I hope there is but still waiting for the miracle to appear, I don't care if i have to pay someone to sort it for me, I just want audio to come outta my car kit all the time!
I have just applied the 10 K resistor to my car kit and after energizing the relay sound came through the car kit speaker, great i though then the sound faded to nothing after several seconds ARRRGGGGGHHHHHHH
Anyone know of a fix for this
Just tried again and it seems to work flawlessly!
We shall see, i'll get it installed and try it on a run!
I dont have a carkit for the relay to come out of ... I just want the sound of my TomTom to come from the PDA's own speaker. Is there something I have missed in the setup.
It seems that when the Brodit conects to recharge the PDA , the PDA seems to think it has to use an external speaker
Also, I am sure this has only started happening since the last O2 rom update.

O2 XDA IIs speaker help

Hi,
This is my first posting here so I hope it's in the right place etc.
I just received an O2 XDA IIs today, it appeard to be fine however I have a problem with the speaker.
I can play MP3's through the earphone socket absolutely fine, but not the speaker. This also affects the phone ringing. When I ring my phone from here there is no ring/volume.
I've checked the manual altered the profile to loud but I'm baffled and hope I havn't brought a faulty phone?
Appreciate any help Thanks
I am looking to purchase a replacement speaker as I am having the same problem. Any luck on your search???
It may be a bad connection or a software problem.
I remember one time I installed some wm6 software and lost all sounds on my BA, a hardreset fixed it.
If you got a bad connection or a bad speaker you basically need to disassemble your hole phone to get to it.

ebay is a graet place to start, as you can sometimes get lucky and find daed or alive ones, that have like cracked screens and such , which should mean they have good speakers.

[Q] Ear piece suddenly not working anymore

Hey there
Yesterday I suddenly realized, that my ear piece speaker stopped working. First I thought it was just a little bug, solvable through re-trying to call or rebooting.
Nothing worked. Strangely enough going via the load speaker or the headset, everything sounds fine. Just the ear piece in the phone seems defect.
Then I found some weird diy solutions like using your headphone jack as a drill and pushing and pulling it in several ways or using a tooth-pick to scramble open some stuck switch. But honestly I don't know if this helps or breaks my headphone jack.
You guys have any idea how to solve this - don't want to send it in (wait weeks and get an lcd-desire back).
Cheers and Thanks
Just off the phone (no, not with my Desire) with HTC Customer Service, who have never heard of this issue and just recommend a hard-reset.
Still need to try the "jam the original headphones in and out"-solver tho.
seriously? I'm the first with this issue?
well hard reset, nor poking in the jack brought any benefit. so sending it in it is then :/

S3 says earphones are connected when they are not. Pls help?!?!

Ok so randomly yesterday ppl call me and I couldn't hear them. So I look and it says earphones are connected when they are not. It was working perfectly before that. And no nothing happened like no drops or no water. Idk y it just randomly did that. I had my phone for 5 months already and it was perfectly working. So I check and open the phone , take of the wire wher the speaker and the earphones connect to the motherboard and I turn it on like that and it shows earphones connected when the whole thing is disconnected. I restored my phone and still nothing. It works for ringtones and same with everything else just says earphones connected which makes me use my phone only with earphones. Pls help I dont have a lot of money so cheapest way would be the best. Thanks

Common issue you need a new phone

Z5P 3.5 mm audio jack suddenly malfunctioned. HELP.

HELP. I was using my phone to listen to music via the free ear set when all of the sudden it stopped transmitting sound through the earbuds but instead went to go to loudspeaker. It is as if there is no ear set attached to the jack anymore. I thought my ear set was the one malfunctioning so I tried connecting my spare ear set but still yields the same problem.It is as if the jack became loose all of a sudden. I didn't recall dropping my phone or accidentally pulling the ear set wires while still attached to the jack that may perhaps damaged it. One thing I observed is that I can the make the music transmit to the ear set if I press the pin to the 3.5 mm jack really really hard but will immediately stop working again the moment I lift my finger thus going to loudspeaker again. Obviously, I cannot be doing the whole pressing thing everytime I want to listen to music cause its plain ridiculous just imagining that. The jack is literally rendered useless now. HELP !!! What should I do? Is this considered hardware problem already cause it seems like it? I just bought my unit December 1 last year so its considerably new. I already tried doing the SONY PC companion software repair just to be sure but still to no avail. Does anyone here experinced the same thing or is it just me.
HELP. As much as possible I dont want to leave my phone to service center as it takes them too long to repair it (2 weeks) and I have no spare phone to use.
THANKS in advance!!!
Send it to be repaired...

Same thing happened to my Z5P today... Read various forums and tried lots of "solved" issues but couldn't get it to work...
Will try and reset the phone after work today to see if it's a software issue, otherwise it will be sent to repaired...
Anyone else had the same problem?
Mine did that too, but i think it was only the headphones. Because it did work with other headphones and has been working fine
found a solution on sony forums..got mine working
Here what I did to get it working again:
Go to Settings > Apps > ALL > Smart Connect. and clear it's data.
Go to Play Store and install SoundAbout.
Open SoundAbout app and go to Media Audio and select your headset type in my case I selected [Wired Headset (with Mic)]
Plug-in your headset and the device should detect it now! wink
This is concerning to hear. Can anyone update to see if @wilger_18 's solution works?
this work around is annoying, You have to toggle ON OFF button if u want your phone to think if its going into loudspeaker or going into headseat more. Will wait for Marshmallow update if this will fix cause if its not then ill probably send it for repair.

Exactly same problem with my z5 premium , it works with soundabout but device doesn't detect the headset for itself, it is logical for a software issue and not hardware. Please let me know if u get a solution
Thanks a lot
Same issue here
Need to push the headphone very hard to make it be connected. I wonder if this is a hardware issue or just a software. Since I tried @wilger_18's workaround but it did not work on my end. I also reflashed the firmware with Flashtool and PCC but no luck...
Had this problem. For me it was hardware defect. Took it to my carrier shop. They confirmed the problem, took it to be serviced. One week later got my phone back. Replaced headphone jack and outer frame.
Works as should now. Hopefully it doesn't fail again. Disappointed that a $900+ device has a fault like this.

By any chance did the smart connect and improve headphone Icon flash about?

here didn't work out ... my headset (that came with the device) is not being recognized, I think i'll have to bring the assistance for a cleaning in connector.
Edit: With Soundabout works...

Soundabout app works also for me but how is that possible doesnt make sense at all :/ hope someone finds a fix for this. Maybe format??
Mine no longer works either. This is the first time a Sony phone I owned has malfunctioned and I started with W810. In US, with Taiwan device. Emailed Sony Taiwan to see if I can get it repaired. Of course, Sony US can't work on a foreign phone. Comical, they all have the same headphone jack.
UPDATE: Sony Taiwan doesn't offer international shipping for repairs so I have two options, fly to Taiwan or live with it. Looks like it will be the latter. Back in the box to collect dust.

Sent my Z5 Premium for repair, turn around about 7 days. The ear phone jack was loose and now it's been replaced and working properly.

I noticed that in his box z5p not appear headphones. This means they have disabled headjack to promote bluetooth headphones. So it's a software limitation.
Mine broke down twice, last week i sent in my z5 premium for repair sony replaced my screen, motherboard, side frame... Seems like i got all new phone... Also my headphone jack was fixed twice in 10 months...

Not all Z5P's came with headphones. Mine didn't so I alternate between my Sennheiser's and my Jays. The noise cancelling headphones I got with my Z2 are sound somewhere... and they work.
