No Sound after HeadPhone Use

Here is my problem
The problem is that after using my Nexus with headphones, there is no sound through the built-in speaker after unplugging the headphones. Using headphones again does work. Essentially the Droid is stuck in Headphone mode. So the nexus always thinks during a phone call im in headphone mode.
A user TRTG from DF.net made an app called audiotoggle. It dont work as good as I thought it would.
My question is how do you fix this? I asked in the rom section of the rom in using with no answers. Does anyone know what could be wrong? How to fix this?

Have you tried a reboot?

Yes I did a reboot. Also wiped cache and delvik to see if that would help. I have to use audiotoggle to get it to work but its not 100% working. It will allow me to make a call but the sensor dont work so I hit buttons while on the phone. Plus I have to enable the app before making a call or else I have to use speaker phone.

The same thing happened to me. The only thing I could think of was that the popping sound that I would hear every time I rebooted into recovery had blown out the speaker. I had to take it to Verizon and get a new one (again). Since it was my second return they could only send me a certified "like new" device. Now the volume rocker is loose and my battery smells.

I was hoping it was just a rom thing. Im trying one more thing before getting a replacement.

Any luck on this? I have the same problem on my Nexus S. Sound seems to be restored only after wiping data, but that's not exactly what I want to do every time I use headphones.

Download android assistant. Go into the settings and go to the volume. If the system volume is all the way down that's your problem. Raise the slider to Max and thank me

99% likely it's a hardware problem. My second warranty replacement had this exact problem, and if I pulled up logcat, I could see it firing HEADSET_PLUGGED events constantly (going from plugged to unplugged). It's not worth fighting for a fix if you're eligible for a replacement, in my opinion -- not that I didn't try it myself.

If you are using Magisk and Lineageos, remove/disable "Audio FX" application which comes with Lineageos.
I used NoBloat Free, since Audio Fx is in system.

[Solved] Random Max In-Call Volume & Max In-Call Volume on each reboot

Whenever I make or receive a call, I see my in-call volume at maximum level! I don't understand why it keeps doing this? I noticed this problem on all 3 of note 2. I keep adjusting to low but randomly just gets reseted to max again. Anyone else having the same issue with T-Mobile Note 2?
Update: finally found the culprit of this problem. The app "Tango" video chat messes with the in-call volume. Once account & app was uninstalled even after the reboot in-call volume setting never changed. Everything stayed as I left it and no more random MAX in-call volume.
Video to show what Tango is doing to my in-call volume.

Nobody has this issue? how come all 3 of my Note 2 has this issue =/

Anyone?

Sorry, this doesn't help but I usually keep my in-call volume at max so I haven't noticed this.

Thanks for the reply. I don't know how you keep the volume at max.. maybe it's just my phones but it's too painfully loud for me.
Would you mind trying to lower the call volume to lowest setting and restart the phone? See if the call volume goes back to max, I would really appreciate that.
For whatever the reason, the volume setting is not getting saved. So annoying since everytime i answer a call, it's trying to blow my eardrums out!

I'm guessing nobody has this in-call volume issues on their T-mobile Note2? Should I be considering an exchange....??

Just FYI multiple post saying anyone? Anyone? Pple just find annoying. Not trying to be rude. But from what I noticed from posts from other forums. Is when pple do that. They will never receive help or a reply from someone. Especially when the OP keeps doing that all in the same day.
Sometimes if you want help. You need patience. Especially here on xda. Pple here don't live there lives to help you. Right when you make a new post. Sometimes it could take days or even a week or two. But I'm positive if you don't do multiple post like this. And wait or even search the web. Even user a different phone. You will find ur answer. Remember google is ur best friend.
Anyways I don't no if its because of my rom or not but mind keeps going to vibrate and I have to keep turning it back to sound + vibrate
Oh ya you also have to be detailed when asking questions. Are you rooted or not. Stock or flashed a rom. Which rom. ...you get the point. The more you tell use the more likely a chance someone will help you. If you choose not to look it up urself

My bad, wasn't trying to be annoying or anything. I searched around in many different forums but still no answers and didn't get any replies on this issue, even the t-mobile support didn't know what was causing this issue. I guess I was running thin on patience.
I'm running all on stock and all 3 devices does this. T-Mobile sales rep said maybe it's part of the feature.. But we all know that's b/s. Changing in-call volume randomly doesn't sound much like a great feature to me....

Ya unfortunately that sucks. If you were rooted I would say try to flash a different rom. But since ur not my best guess would be to search around for an app that has something to do with volume/ in call volume. There's an app for everything these days. Ur just gunna have to read all the details in every volume app you can find. I'm sure there's something. Good luck. If you happen to find something. Post it hear in case others run into the same problem as you in the future.

Am I the only one with this problem? I wish some of the same device/carrier users would give me some feedbacks so I can figure out what to do....

you talking about in call volume or ringer volume? if its in call volume im pretty sure that if i lower it during a phone call it stays that volume even on the next call
im not 100% sure though...and im not sure if it stands through a reboot but i am pretty sure...cause i dont leave my in call volume on max because it is quite loud and distorted...if it always went back up to max i probably wouldve noticed..again not 100% sure

It's the in-call volume. I have no idea what's causing this... When I lower the volume it will stay that way only for that call and next call or sometimes even during the call volume goes up to max randomly. It's driving me nuts cause it's so loud and I can't even answer the call without worrying its gonna blow my eardrums!
I tried restoring factory but that didn't help and all three of my Note 2 do this so I'm lost here. Not like I rooted and modified anything, all is in stock.
Would you mind trying to put in-call volume to lowest and rebooting the phone? See if it goes back to max by default. That's how mine is set to every reboot.

Try rebooting, see if that setting sticks.
It does this all randomly. Setting will stay that way for awhile and all of sudden max volume.

try this
go to dialer -> call settings -> my call sound...there are 2 options that might help you...one for sound settings (maybe choosing one of them will help you) or personalize call sound..that one asks you to plug in ear phones..im not sure what happens after you run that test and if it only applies to earphones but you can try it

Why would it do that... It's not suppose to. I never had that issue with ATT Note, N7000 and i9300... I get the feeling many people just don't pay too much attention to it and when it does go up, people just lower the volume and forget about it.
Whatever the reason setting of the in-call volume isn't being saved. And something is making it to go back to default. Just don't know what though...
Keep your eye on that volume, and check if it goes up randomly.
P.S. I really appreciate the replies, been waiting for awhile.

Yeah, I really didn't want to annoy anyone but this little bug was driving me insane. Spending hours with T-Mobile tech supports weren't even helpful either. I hope it isn't a defective unit... Please let me know if you notice this issue! Thanks again =)

I think I found the culprit. Seems like "Jays headset control" app was causing this issue. It was never an issue on any other device but not sure why it's causing on note2. I uninstalled the app yesterday and so far problem hasn't come back yet. Time will tell but so far so good.
Thanks for looking and replying to my post. I can finally relax!
Update: wasn't jays app... Still having issue.

[Q] Why can't I control my Desire's volume?

I'm really annoyed by the fact that I miss calls because the ringer volume was too low. But I have tried everything, and I mean everything, to try to correct that. You name the ringer volume locking app, I no doubt tried it. Tasker, etc. as well. None of them work at either locking the ringer volume at 100%, or raising it to 100% when a call comes in.
Since other people don't seem to have this problem.... I'm wonder, is it possible that the Manu kernel I install could be blocking something? Or what about the MIUI XJ ROM I got from here? Any other clues?!

When you're playing a music file without headphone, is the speaker giving loud sound then?
If yes, then your speaker is allright.
If no, plug in headphones and check the volume through your headphone. If the volume is also low there, then your amplifier is broken.

I use Volume Control app. But then again you said you tried every volume app there is.
Manu is not blocking anything as I've been with ManU kernel for a long while.
Try to change your ringtone. Some ringtones are louder than others.

Well, the problem has nothing to do with the choice of ringtone I'm using. If the volume is too low, I'm obviously not going to hear the phone, regardless of the volume of the ringtone.
TheRamon: I think you may have misunderstood the issue. It's not that the volume is low all the time. It's that it may have been turned down or off for various reasons, and I need the ringer vol to be 100% when a call comes in.
There are many apps that will do this, but absolutely none have worked properly on my Desire. So if we've ruled out the kernel, and others with Desires have managed to accomplish this through apps.... why am I not able to do the same?!
There is no particular indication anywhere that the phone is not working properly.

No, I haven't. But that's because it's a big deal (for me, anyway) to do that. I have to go through hours and hours settings things back up similar to what I had. So I don't change ROMs too often. Truth be told, I never really had luck with any ringer volume lock app on the Desire, and that's 2 years looking. They all mess up in one way or another, making them unuseable. It's just that it seems to be even more the case since I installed MIUI XJ with the Manu kernel. But I don't know. There may be no connection. All I know is that other Desire users have no (or little) problems with the ringer lock apps and I do!

Im not really asking you to switch rom. What im saying is nandbackup your current rom and flash a different one. Check if the volume issues disappear or not. Since you are using an AOSP based rom, my suggestion is to flash a Sense based rom and see if the issue remains. At least you'll have an idea if its just a rom related issue or not and determine the next troubleshooting step from there. It will be difficult to find a solution if you don't try to isolate where the problem is coming from.
via xda app

Ok, I actually did switch ROMS.... I'm on the latest stock MIUI GB ROM for the Desire, after wiping everything, and all stock apps. I just downloaded and tried a couple of locking apps; Ring Lock, Smart Volume.... they don't work! Smart Volume buzzes when I change the volume, but it happily allows me to do so!
So now I'm wondering if its MIUI itself that is preventing volume locking. Yet I doubt it, because I think we'd have heard that from MIUI users. Each volume control app seems to have its own reason for not working. Some will lock volume settings with each other, but still allow you to change the ringer volume. Some will have dialog boxes go into an infinite loop if you try to change the ringer volume. Some will vibrate a notification when you change the ringer vol., but will still allow you to do so. Even in Tasker, I set a profile to change the brightness and the volume upon ring... it changes the brightness, but not the volume. Since each app has a different type of failure, one would logically conclude that it's the apps that are simply faulty.
But then there's the irrefutable fact that while some find these apps faulty (sometimes for the same reason I did), I'm guessing not everyone with a Desire has been unable to get the ringer volume to stay locked. So I still don't know if it's an inherent problem with the Desire. But if it's due to MIUI, I'll have to live with it. Because... I like MIUI a bit more than I hate the fact that I can't control the ringer volume!

Update: I just discovered this, so I've yet to confirm.... but I just tried an escalating ring app.... and it actually worked on my Desire. I left the phone on low, the app started low and took the volume to max. That means, the volume is/may be controllable on this device, by a 3rd party. Just before this, I started messing about in Superuser, looking at the tons of logs it creates. Turns out, by default, Superuser was not giving full permissions to my apps - specifically the right to make calls and related etc. I set all such.apps to full permissions.
I will try with a ring locker app tomorrow (but even the escalating ring app is actually perfect for my needs!)..

Notification/ volumes sounds changes to very low by its self.

OK this problem has been bugging me. Its started a few weeks back and i thought when i updated to 4.3 it would go away. But no luck.
Here is the problem. I have a Samsung S3 SGH I747M on Rogers was on 4.1.2 stock rom rooted. Now im on 4.3 stock rom rooted.
My phone keeps changing the notification/ all volumes on it own to very low. I can hardly hear it. I reboot my phone and its back to normal and all volumes are were i set them. Now i did notice that when it does go very low all my volume sliders go to the max position but everything will be very low.
Its driving me crazy. I have uninstalled several apps that i thought might be causing the problem but nothing seems to fix it. My next step is to do a factory reset. Which i really don't want to do as i have my phone set up the way i like it.
I'm hoping some of you phone gurus out there can help me find this annoyance.
Thanks.

Wow. No reply's. I guess nobody has had this problem before. Ill keep looking.

My volume dips occasionally, but I'm on pacman Rom with viper4android installed. In my case it happens when viper decides to randomly crash.

Did you have any audio mods installed ? If so then that might have caused the problem because to fully uninstall those you have to remove some of their system files or if they changed your build.prop you might have to undo the changes.
Other than that im not really sure what might be causing it.

I have the same issue. I uninstalled Ram Booster and disabled Power Savings Mode. Problem still exists but volume change is much less. Also ,it happens exactly when screen turns off. Factory reset did not solve it for me.

I just started experiencing this issue as well. Never noticed it before as I always had my phone on silent for school but now that im on vacation I turned the sound back on and I can't hear the locking and unlocking sounds unless the phone is right next to my ear. The keyboard and the basic touch sounds are very quiet too. Wondering if you managed to fix this problem ?

Hey Florad77,
Yes i did manage to fix it. Tasker is the culprit. Its not playing nice with the 4.3 update. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and everything was working fine. No volume changes. Then i set up some tasks, simple ones like turn off my Bluetooth when i leave my truck etc. And low and behold the sound issues came back. It must be when tasker trys to run tasks that it F,s everything up in the phones settings for sound. I just uninstalled it again and i also removed secure settings as well. Here is a review of Tasker from google play with the same sound problems.

I hope this fixes your problem. Mine is work just fine now after the uninstall.

Volume issues fixed.
OK. I was still having the problem even after deleting most of the apps i thought were causing the problem. But had no luck fixing the volume issue. I remembered my son saying he has had a problem with his phone not connecting to the Bluetooth also but his had a different error. So i asked him what his issue was and he said every time he tries to connect he gets an error saying "unable to play during call" So i googled his problem and found the answer and it fixed his Bluetooth error. I then checked my own settings and changed it also and if fixed mine.
So If you use text plus go to settings and unselect enable incoming calls, and that will fix the unable to play during call error when using your music player over Bluetooth. And like me if your also having volume issues after connecting to Bluetooth it will fix that also. Make sure to reboot your phone after the change.
I hope this helps somebody as this problem has been driving me crazy for months now. I was so close to doing a factory reset and re flashing the rooted 4.3 rom again.

The problem with the volume that you are facing is because of a secret call in the background via Hangouts.
Basically Hangouts connects a call with someone in the background without user's interaction and phone goes into call mode.
And in call mode volumes are adjusted appropiately as it should be in a normal call and all the sounds come out of earpiece.
If you turn off Hangouts, you will not get this problem again.
Hit Thanks!, if it helps

Volume boost?

Anyone come up with a volume hack for headphones? On the g2 you could edit the mixerpaths file. Im rooted without twrp and tried that and got stuck in a nice bootloop and had to push the stock rom thru adb to get back up. Once i get twrp i can run thru some settings. Just wondering if anyone else is bummed out by this low volume.

I can say my phone don't need volume boost. Phone sounds great. Have to turn it down. Sounds way better than note 3

The speaker is fine. Although I wish it could go up by one or two when I'm listening through headphones.

Ooops yea edited my post to reflect that im talking about headphone volume.

I had a chance to play YouTube on G3 through speaker.
The speaker is nice if it's not louder than S3.

Partially hijacking this thread, but does anybody know if there's a hidden way to disable the safe volume warning every time I plug in my headset? This is the most annoying thing on this phone, especially if I do a quick travel to n from lunch and work, I have to keep pressing the volume button again n again. I know most likely it's baked into the ROM, but maybe someone knows something.
OP, you sure this is not the problem you're facing? At first I thought I had gone all the way on the volume, but I realized I had to press it again to boost the volume to the max.

Nah I wish. I just like really loud music. The phone is capable of doing much higher levels with a few slight tweaks. I'm sure for most its loud enough.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but, G3 Tweaksbox has this option. It is under sound tweaks. Then check "Disable Safety Headset Volume"

Anyone come up with a volume hack for headphones? On the g2 you could edit the mixerpaths file. Im rooted without twrp and tried that and got stuck in a nice bootloop and had to push the stock rom thru adb to get back up. Once i get twrp i can run thru some settings. Just wondering if anyone else is bummed out by this low volume.

1. Download & extract the version for android 4.4, then install it
2. Open Viper4Android, choose quality, let it install the special driver and allow root. You may need to update busybox, it will prompt you if necessary.
3. Reboot
4. Open V4A, press the 3 dots at top right, change UI to "Moderate"
5. Swipe to "Headphone" tab, enable master power & playback gain control, scroll to bottom of page, change output gain to +0.8 or +1.6

Partially hijacking this thread, but does anybody know if there's a hidden way to disable the safe volume warning every time I plug in my headset? This is the most annoying thing on this phone, especially if I do a quick travel to n from lunch and work, I have to keep pressing the volume button again n again.

There is an Xposed module for that

I know most likely it's baked into the ROM, but maybe someone knows something.
Not sure if this is what you are looking for but, G3 Tweaksbox has this option. It is under sound tweaks. Then check "Disable Safety Headset Volume"

The viper mod works OK but I ended up following this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2819821
Just make sure you fix permissions and all will be well.

I tried the V4A version and I must say it did make a bit of a difference in sound boost but one of the main things I use the headphones for at times is making phone calls. When I tried to make a call the volume of the call still sounded low. Is anyone else experiencing this? I have Sirius radio installed and you tube and sound on both definitely improved a bit. I wanted to try the other method by modifiying the path files but I heard some issues causing boot loops and it pretty much scared me away. I'm also still trying to figure out how to install TWRP on my LG G3 since I rooted it manually, I can't figure out how to get it on my device. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Finaly got TWRP on my device.

It's not a problem with the phones volume control but with your hearing ability.
I had hearing tests done last year at the clinic and they said I had very good sense of hearing... kind of a weird thing. Anyways, I can get it to about 75% volume and it's extremely loud. Any more than that is painful.
