Hi,
My Desire has developed this problem that i cant seem to understand what's causing it, please help.
When i play music from the phone on my headphones the left channel audio output is fine, but the right channel volume is really low and feels like its only playing some frequencies like only backing vocals in some tracks. I'm running LeeDroid 3.0.6 and I used doubletwist before this problem. Now I've tried the default music app and PowerAMP player, both gave the same output as before. I've also tried alot of different headphones HTC, Koss, Shure headset and cheapos, no change in output.
Also i used to play the audio in my car before this connected directly to the power amp through a 3.5mm to RCA cable(could this have caused the problem). I used all kinds of Y cables heavy ones light ones before the problem. Now I've just stopped using it for audio in the car.
And before this became permanent, this would happen but a little jiggle on the headphone jack would do the trick.
Also the controls on the original HTC headphones arent working either.
My Question: is this a problem with the 3.5mm headphone jack or another underlying major problem? Or is it because of dirt or some easily resolvable problem in the 3.5mm jack?
Note: I can't claim warranty.
Any help guys?

That thing with the car amp might have made a problem, but I don't really think so. Notice that desires headphones output is stereo,so its normal to hear tthe vocals or the backing tune only on one earpiece, as long as you hear the full sound when wearing both as far as the headphones controllers, they might wore off from use... Anyway if tou feel like there is a problem, first run an ruu and try again with the stock rom (to see if its a software problem) and if that doesn't fix it, send it @htc for service. That's the safest way

May have to send my Desire back to TMobile. Supplied headphones do not work. There appears to be loose connection inside handset. To hear anything I must hold down jack connector and then the volume is very low, the minute I stop holding the jack it drops the sound. Anyone else finding this build issue?
Also the remote on the headphone cable will not operate. I did try the supplied headphones on another device then its o.k. so it must be the actual Desire at fault.
Your phone is probably ok!
I had exactly the same problem, but it's due to the headphone connector.
You should use a 3,5 stereo jack with 4 contacts (TRRS) instead of a the 3,5mm stereo jack with 3 contacts (TRS) which is present on all casual headsets.
You can sole it with an adapter cable.

My remote doesn't work on my Desire too. But my remote on a friend's Desire works.. grr
Thanks for the replies. Fair play to T Mobile they exchanged my phone no problem. New phone now works perfect. So pleased I got the Desire.
I found a solution for mine, it was tunewiki which override the headset buttons by default.. <clever>
I have an HTC Desire which has an issue with the headphone jack.
When playing tracks on Spotify app and using a 3,5mm to 3,5mm plug to plug to connect it to my car the tracks jump around all the time.
I assume that it has to do with the remote button connections on the HTC headphones.
I have seen on other forums people discussing this and reckon its the cable. It could well be as it is only a cheap one from somewhere like Maplin.
I was wondering if there is a utility to stop the remote connections if that is what is causing this.
Any help in any way is appreciated.
Thanks

Try an App called Headset blocker
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.idunnolol.headsetblocker
Had the same issue when I connected my speaker with subwoofer through the headphone jack. the speakers without the woofer worked fine.
I kinda figured that the power feedback from the woofer through the sound cable messes with the phone because I didnt encount this issue when I was using my bluetooth headset with the woofer and speakers.
Edit: the headset blocker sounds like a good solution to your problem, atleast its better than investing money in an bluetooth headset
Same problem here. I strongly doubt the cause of this problem is the cable.
I tried the stock cable, the iPhone cable and the cable which I use in my car, all three have the same issue.
I believe something is wrong with the headphone jack in my desire.
The remote controls on the stock cable don't work properly as well on my device.
Hi guys
I would know if there is solution for boost the audio with headphone connected at the phone
thanks
To me this is a major flaw of the defy so far. I can hardly listen to my music when I am walking outside and I really don't understand why the volume is so weak when using the headphone
get better headphones?
Hi, I'm using the Sennheiser CX 200 Street II (excellent price for the quality) and I never use more than half of the volume. So, good inear pieces (those with rubber tips) might help
PS: Please don't tell me you're using the stock headset! They might work for one or two calls but not for enjoying music.
PPS: Does anyone know a compatible headset adapter? I mean one with a built-in mic that allows you to use your own headphones without the need of a soldering iron
As far as I noticed with my girlfriend's ipod touch, she can use my headphones to make skype calls. I can only suspect that they work the other way around. (her headphones are far but I might use someone elses iphone headphones tomorrow)

The iPod/iPhone Headset works, as I read several times. Unfortunately, you can't use your own headphones with that headset. Know what I mean? I'm looking for something that provides a mic and a 3,5mm jack for headphones
€: Finally, found what I was looking for: http://cgi.ebay.de/e12i-Stereo-Head...812849?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f064f7f31 I hope the quality is not so poor.
I use the music app Poweramp. Apart from being the most comprehensive music app there is, it also has a built in software amplifier to boost volume. I highly recommend it, definitley an app worth paying for.

One of these days (I'll have to go buy a 3.5mm socket) I'm planning to give an old Nokia 3.5mm set of headphones a new life. I only have to study how the mic/button work (might be some different resistors involved).
I'll get back with a how to after I'm done.
Anyone try the ZaggSmartbuds for www.zagg.com they have a 3.5mm jack, inline mic, inline volume control(analog). i normally use my SD9-HD bluetooth headset when listening to music but sometimes I prefered to be wired. Have been considering the Zaggs real hard.
But exist some head phone with mic and noise reduction function all in one?

Well... the ZAGGsmartbuds, the iPhone inears, the bose headset, the V-Moda Vibe
II w/mic...
I have found this
http://cgi.ebay.it/ZAGG-SMARTBUDS-N...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item5d2d8b12e4
but I have read in the footer ad there is wrote this:
"Some non-US smartphones, such as the Samsung i9000, have a unique jack configuration that requires an adapter for use with the ZAGGsmartbuds."
So, for My Motorola Defy (France) could be some problem with this headphone??
thank's guys
We might have a different cable configuration at the jack, but we'll never know, if no one tries
PS: I'll tell you if the headset adapter that I ordered via eBay works for the european Defy and how it works.
I was more thinking of some kind of software solution to amplify/unlock the Defy's volume (I guess it is limited for health reasons).
The ones I found on the market just don't work.
I do not intend to buy a new headset as I use it 5-10 minutes a day at most.
Try the poweramp music player. It offers a graphic equalizer and the opportunity to amplify the volume. Remember: too much amplification results in bad sound.
I really like this phone, everything about it is great for me EXCEPT the sound quality. Anything that has to do with the headphone jack is an absolute disaster.
First off I have not experienced the dreaded AUX problem but I have experienced random pausing and skipping - as if I was pressing music controls on my headset - both in my car and on my headphones. I think a headphone jack is starting to wear?
Next I have experienced terrible distortion and static in the left channel, that was until I rooted and Installed Viper4Android. While the problem didn't go away entirely its much better than stock.
Im using my g3 with 3 or 4 devices....
My Acura's line in with Subs/Amps ect.
Shure SE846 In ear monitors
Fiio e6 amp (with the shures, sometimes helps sound quality)
Bluetooth to my Bose Soundlink
The flaws of the g3's sound output are noticeable on any of these, even the bluetooth soundlink and ESPECIALLY, on the SE846 direct.
I created this thread because I dont know what to do, its apparent I am an audiophile and care about my sound quality and youd think Id invest in some sort of MP3 player (I do have a Clip+ ) but I really enjoy using spotify. Should I buy a DAC and just avoid the g3s sound card all together or call and fight with LG and see what they can do?
Is anyone else having these problems? I have the Verizon Device.
I use Westone's connected through a Sony SB52. I haven't noticed any issue except that I like Sony's Walkman app better on my Xperia than LG's player.
I'm fairly picky about music quality and I haven't noticed any issues at all with my HD419s (the only headphones I have right now). Audio quality through aptx bluetooth directly to a car amp and polk component speakers is as good as one would expect too. No skipping or pausing with LG's app. Is that happening when your screen is on? Try turning it off, maybe it's a screen issue? Or maybe it's a glitch with the app you are using? The only problem I had with it was how quiet it was with headphones but the fix with root worked well.
There are several threads about the strange hissing sound - which I also got myself. LG has told me that they're working on fixing it and that it's a known flaw in the current ROMs.
I just got mine and I think this is the best sounding phone I have ever heard. Of course my expectations were very low after my experience with Apple and Samsung.
This opinion is coming from a very jaded HiFi gearhead so your mileage may vary.
The problem I'm facing..
There is noise+distortion+hissing during call
And when headphones are connected I cant understand or listen any thing I only hear wired noises..
Any fix guys ?
Dont know if its technical or software based issue
The sound quality has been noticeably bad for me using headphones also, bluetooth isn't too much of a problem and works fine.
I just got my headphone jack replaced free from LG (as it was doing the random skipping thing) - I quoted that it was a known problem (i mean look on XDA for all the threads) and as my phone was under warranty, i flashed stock firmware and sent it back - when i got it back in 48 hours it was replaced and working. They even cleaned the screen for me lol.
I don't use a headset, only headphones, and the quality is most noticeable on my sennheiser hd800s, but also on my beyerdynamic headphones. Install Viper audio and it improves slightly.
I got mine replaced today as well.
New phone bingo !!
When I plug in my headphones to the HTC, it acknowledges that they are plugged in as the headphone symbol shows up but no sound comes when I play a video or a game. These headphones came with the phone too. BUT when I use these same headphones on my iPhone it works perfectly, so I know something is wrong with the HTC, not the headphones. Other headphones also don't work on the HTC. Only the HTC's inbuilt speakers work but no sound from headphones. Do anyone know how to fix this problem?

Could be your headphone jack. It may be possible to replace it yourself, or pay someone to do it for you.
Headphone jack, probably worn out or has crap in it clogging it up. Mine is still working well with headphones but no dice with my car headphone to aux cable. The cable is probably outdated. I have 3rd party headphones that worked well at first but now the microphone is acting up during calls and boomsound "glitches" on and off now and again. Headphones are in good - very good condition but I can't rule out an internal break in the wire.
I would be inclined to say that the m9 has sensitive electronics attached to the headphone jack and any short circuits or voltage/amperage/resistance discrepancies would be picked up to protect the rest of the sound system. Headphone jacks tend to arc too which is why you get a thump in speakers when you connect or disconnect the jack.
