Hi All,
This morning I was listening to my favorite Podcast through the speaker of my SX66. I then headed out the door (still listening) and plugged the unit into my car stereo via the 2.5mm audio jack. I continued listening over the car stereo with no problems during my drive to work.
When I parked the car, I unplugged the SX66 expecting to have the audio switch back over to the speaker so I could hear the conclusion of the Podcast as I walked to the building. However, when I unplugged the unit there was complete silence. If I plugged it back in, the audio played normally through the car stereo again.
After playing around a bit, I found that except for the playing of ringtones for incoming calls, no sounds come from the speaker. The volume controls have no effect, and anytime I plug the headset in, I can hear all of the sounds normally through the headset (menu clicks, WMP, etc.).
I tried soft resets followed by more desparate hard resets. No effect. What in the world would cause the system and WMP sound to stop playing through the speaker only (headset OK), but ringtones for incoming calls play through fine? I'm confused. Is this a software or hardware problem? Anyone seen anything like this?
:?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Paul
Paul, it sounds like you have broken the audio jack socket on the unit, they have a switch type arangement in them to disable the speaker when on external sound, if a bit breaks off (which is what I suspect) then the removal of the jack plug will not re-make the connection for the audio to route back to the internal speaker - sorry to be the bearer of bad news - it needs a repair mate - Mike
Thanks for the suggestion, however it turns out this is a software problem. :lol: Specifically, it has to do with the BT patch that I was running (Cambridge Silicon Radio Ltd. BHCS, posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36626&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=75). It seems that if I add any BT device at all (even non-audio devices like a keyboard) and have the tray icon enabled (BTIcon.exe), then I have no sound. I'm not sure whether it's the patch, BTIcon, or a combination of both.
I removed the patch and took BTIcon.exe out of the Startup folder and everything went back to normal.
Paul
I have such problem
Sorry, I really tried to find something like this, but stuck.
Ican't solve it, and Removing BTtray - doesn't helps.
After update from
PH20B_0_B_WWE_E_BRIGH001_1.22.00_0_0_1.22.126_1.06.00_06.00
to
PH20B_0_B_WWE_E_BRIGH001_1.22.00_0_0_1.22.169_1.06.02_06.02
- same result.
Please - any ideas?
Thank you.
I have a direct connect setup for my ipod in my vehicle via a cable. Yeasterday I bought a converter for a 3.5 mm to a 2.5 mm so I could connect that cable to my wizard. The first few calls I made worked fine the mic worked and the speakers worked. Then a couple of hours later only the speakers worked. Does anybody have any idea why? The speaker setup works great if I can get the Mic to work also.
Hi guys, long time since i post here (since the HTC Diamond)
Anyway, my question goes to those who use the default music player.
I have been experiencing some weird problems.
Sometimes when i start playing music it will start skipping the track ahead by itself and jumping to the next track.
I couldnt identify the problem.
Other day i installed "3" player to see if it would do the same, and it did.
Worse than that, if i fired up the default player, even tho the 3 player was off it would start itself and play musics too at the same time.
My Desire is standard, no modifications.
Anyone here had any problem like this ?
I have had no such problems with the HTC music player, i use it all the time with the AUX port in my car,
are you sure you are not touching the screen by mistake? because i noticed when you lock the device, you can still change tracks without unlocking, double edged thingy, its useful when ur in a car, but not so much if its in ur pocket
I would suggest you to remove your memory card, format it with cardreader (NOT FAST) and then put it back to Desire and again format it from your phone and try again.
NOTE: YOU'LL LOSE EVERYTING ON YOUR MEMORY CARD.
I have 16GB which I use with my Desire and I have not seen the problem you talk about here. And yes, I listed to lot of music.
Ok, thanks for the feedback guys.
But here is what i found out so far.
Tested lots of options with Wifi/GPS/Data on/off and it doesnt seem to be coming from there.
Now the tricky part is with the headphone.
Sometimes when i insert the headphone Sennheiser CX line the phone shows the HEADSET icon on the tray and it is when the glitch with the music playback starts.
Sometimes i insert the headphone and it detects correctly but after a few mins the headphone icon turns into a headset icon and the problem with the musics skipping restart.
I checked the 3.5mm jack and it is not loose, and i insert it well each time.
I have tried to kill all open apps before doing the test run and the same result appears randomly.
I could not trim down the problem yet but i will let you know.
PS.
I will try the format thing after a few more tests.
Thanks again..

As you see its a headphone and it is recognized as headset....odd.
Caught the issue on video.

Maybe a 3.5mm jack problem ?
Need more testing...
I cannot reproduce the problem every time....arghhh
I have exactly the same problem albeit with Google listen and the stock music player. Its definitely the 3.5mm socket. I can reproduce the problem each time with the male to male lead I have for the car. I'd really value a solution!!
Please, can someone else confirm if you have problem with the 3.5mm jack ?
Hey just tested with stock earphones (should give same results to everyone by not using my "own" so to speak)
No problem what so ever over here.
BTW, I've used my own in-ear earlier and never noticed anything of what you are describing back then as well.
Maybe you should start a poll?
I use a Bluetooth headset at work because I do not want to damage the phone in my pocket so the phone is on my tool box and "3" Cubed music app will start up when default music player is playing?
thanks for the feedback guys, i hope to hear from more ppl because if this is specific to a few devices i might return mine and request a new one.
I have the same problem with "3" starting automatically too.
But i thought it was related to the 3.5mm jack.
Hey, I have the same problem, my girlfriend with the same phone, also has this problem. I have tried a few other music apps, and they all seem to have issues, including the fact the HTC music player starts playing music by itself on top of it.
I will try and format the sd card twice and report back
Okay, when I use the HTC Headset, I cant skip/change tracks with the headset buttons, also no Pause/Play ... pressing Play results in skipping to the next track ... today it even called suddenly one of my contacts :\
When I use normal earphones I've got absolutely NO problems
I believe the problem doesnt come from the musci application but from the headphone/headset connected to the 3.5mm jack.
For me, if any headphone is inserted and it is recognized as headset, the music applications will go bananas.
I will wait a few more replies and a few days before go to the stor and complain about the issue.
Its definitely something to do with the 3.5mm jack, as i've been playing music for a while on the loudspeaker as a test and it works perfectly...
Is there really noone else having issues with this?
I've had similar results occasionally, all when the headset jack gets jostled. I'm pretty sure it just has bad contacts sometimes. Sucks, but I don't consider it phone-return-worthy.
I have had exactly the same issue as you recorded and described.. after that I pulled out the headset and tried to put it back in, but the phone didn't even recognized the headset at all! I had to turn the phone off and on to get the headset recognized again.. But the issue with the music player going berserk was exactly the same with jumping from number to number, so you're not alone..

No problem with the 3.5mm jack here, but I've seen users at other forums complaining of this.
Problems with third party players seem widespread. A few times I've had Tunewiki start playing when pressing play on the stock player.
BINGO !!!
So, here is the link to this other thread.

I think this is the problem.
I have no idea what TRS is, but i am almost sure this is what is causing the issues with 3rd party headphones.
Can someone else check there and confirm that this could be the cause for the weird issue when the player go bananas and it identifies the headphone as a headset ?
I occasionally have these issues on the included stock HTC headset. It's true that TRS headphones may have inconsistent effectiveness in a TRRS jack, but it's not necessarily the sole cause of issues, at least.
Today I tried to connect my phone to the control unit of Z5500 speakers (there's a headset and source in jack). I couldn't get the 4g touch to play through the speakers. My ipod will play, so I know it works. Is there some setting that I'm missing (besides 'enable audio out when docked')?
Thanks!
Why did u mention a dock? It should be from phones audio jack out to the z-5500 audio in.
I own a z5500 also. Works fine.

Hi Shoulon. Thanks for your comments. I mentioned the 'audio out when docked' setting because I knew that wouldn't resolve the problem. Glad to hear the Epic does work with your z5500s. It may be the way I'm using the z5500s at the moment. I have it hooked up to TV via optical only...no computer (direct connect) or coax connection at the moment as I'm renovating my office.
