I have a DInc2 which I recently just S-off'ed and rooted, I have CM7 beta 1 and until yesterday I was having audio outputted through both earpeices, but today I tried 3 different headphones (Sennheiser,Apple,and SkullCandy) but they all play through the left ear only, they're not broken as on my iMac they work normally. Also when I plug them in it displays the "headset w/ mic" icon, even though they don't have mics. Can I fix this without factory resetting ( like if the fix is in the nightly builds?)

EDIT!: A power-off fixed it
having the same issue on Miui 1,7.8. reboot didn't work for me.
Try powering it off, and leaving the battery out for a minute or so, that's what I did when it happened again to me.
No luck. Pulled battery and held power for 10 seconds then rebooyed
Still shows headset with Mic icon and giving me only left audio
I get the headset icon as well (headphones with mic). However, I get stereo audio.
hmm. is there some setting i need to change? also, i am using google music beta since i got an invite, maybe ill try other software and see what happens?
are you both running miui?
I'm running CM7, for me the problem was with any app, until I took out the battery and rebooted.

Is anyone else's headphones refusing to work? I will plug them in and for a split second I get some sound then nothing. If unplug them it works just fine. If I restart sometimes they will work again but then stop for no reason.
Seems to be in ANY app that makes sounds, I am running Bugless Beast v.3 and it did it in .4 as well. I have the full root (NAND etc)
I rooted and installed a custom rom within hours of getting the phone so I am not sure if it is something with my hardware or the ROMs I am loading. I haven't seen anyone complain so I am guessing it is just me =(
is it a safe bet youve tried these headphones in other players?
have you tried connecting them to any other sort of speaker system?
I have had this problem. I also have Fresh, Bugless Beast, and EVOlution v8. Can't remember off the top of my head if I've tried the phones in each. Like you said though, if I re-boot, pull them out and plug them back in, or both, they start working again. Weird. The earphones work on my laptop. Hasn't been too much of an issue (doesn't happen all the time) so I've been ignoring it. Besides, the sound quality of the phones I have sucks!! I'm ordering new ones soon and I'm hoping that will resolve the issue. Haven't seen anyone else with this problem so I assumed it was the phones (they were SUPER cheap, like $10).
Yes they work other places and in other systems. They are very expensive headphones so I am certain it isn't the headphones issue.
headphone problem
had that also may be the music app you have on the phone or maybe too many music apps. i had mixzing media player, double twist and the standard music app. i took the mixzing player off and had no issues after that. don't know if this is the answer, but something to look at. hope this helps.
I think other users have found that a normal stereo jack doesn't fit right. I heard there is a small adapter to go from the 3 contact stereo to 4 contact stereo with Mic. I haven't looked for it yet.
It's a female trs to male trrs adapter.

I think that will help.

Headset Blocker.
It has something to do with how the jack seats. The widget nukes the mic function and fixes the problem so now all my headphones / car jacks work.
It blocks the headset / mic function so your normal jacks will work without issue. I have been using it since release day and no more problems. Who uses those wired mic/headsets anymore anyhow.......BLUEHAIRS thats who.

In fact they only show up now as a mic'd headset, after that delay..any ideas?
Fixed: flashed custom rom
I have tried almost everything to fix this problem but i just can't.
When i connect my headphone (beats and normal Samsung one) to the phone and click on play or next/previous button, nothing happens. The phone wont recognize the buttons. 4 days ago everything worked perfectly. It just suddenly happened. I was on AOKP milestone 4.
When it happened the first time, 4 days ago, i thought it might be a problem in the ROM so i wiped everything and rebooted phone. Still the same. I then re flashed the ROM several times and it was still the same. So i just got angry and put phone away. Then after 14 hours or something i plugged headphone back in the phone and opened up poweramp. Then i hit play button on headphone and suddenly it worked. I was happy, but after 1 minute i hit pause button and phone wouldn't recognize it. I kept plugging and unplugging the headphone and after several tries it worked again for a minute or two, then it didn't. This made me think it is a software problem. But when i had headphone plugged in and let music play and unplugging the headphone, the music kept playing, with no sound (Music was playing when headphone was plugged in, but then i unplugged it, but music didn't stop like it usually does when u unplug the headphone). Now the speaker didn't work. After some minutes later it magically worked again.
Now i was wondering if it is a hardware problem. Another thing to mention is that when this happens(no sound after unplugging the headphone) the phone sensor in dialer wont work. When i make a phone call to someone, the phone sensor wont work, meaning, the phone wont go black when i lift it up to my ear. Also no sound from the front speaker. So i have to use headphone to call someone, until the phone speaker works again. Then the dialer sensor will work again.
I have tried about 3 ROMS and they are all the same. I have now flashed stock Google 4.0.4 and it's still the same. Now unrooted.
Please if you don't understand some parts of my problem, ask and i will try to answer in a better way.
Will take a video soon, hopefully it will be easier to see what problem i have.
Video 1: Here I have just rebooted the phone and opened music app to see if the button on headphone works. As you can see it works the first time i plug it in. But after that it doesn't work. You can also see that once i remove the headphone, while music is playing, the phone speaker wont work. !!! Something i forgot to show you... You can see that phone speaker wont work when i unplug the headphone, but when i click up and down volume button on the phone buttons, you can hear them. Its only the music/movie/dialer etc that doesn't work.
Video 2 : Here i am testing the beats headphone, just to show you that it isn't the Samsung headphones fault.
Video 3: Here i am showing you that the phone sensor wont work in dialer.
Video 4: This one is very strange. I have plugged in the headphone, but when i click volume buttons on phone, you can hear it from the back speaker. This shouldn't happen right? I mean when the headphone is plugged in, then all sounds should be coming from the headphone, not the phone speaker.
Bump. Any suggestions?
*For the last 2 days the buttons actually worked for several hours, but as soon as i take them out, they wont work for god knows how long...
Ok if no one knows anything, can someone give me some advice on what to say when I return the phone? I still have warranty but don't know if this will be covered by it. Also i have just flashed stock google 4.0.4 ROM, but is there anything else I should before returning the phone? Phone is bought from Netcom Norway.
Since yesterday, my phone fails to detect my headphones as i plug them in. The only time when detection works is if they are plugged in and i do a reset. but as soon as i plug them out, the phone fails to detect them when plugged in agail.
using ARHD 6.0.0
Anyone any idea?
thanks in advance!!!!
I am also having this issue. ARHD 6 with faux kernel.

Headphones are no longer being detected even after reset.
PLEASE does anyone have any tips or fixes? I don't want to have to send my otherwise perfect phone in to HTC

Well your both on arhd....try a factory reset if that doesn't work run a ruu. If neither work its likely hardware

Tried that, even tried different roms and kernels. Think it must be hardware.

I downloaded an widget called toggle headset from the play store which has given me a work around for this issue. I click the widget and it forces audio to my headset. Really weird as the phone doesn't recognise the headset in the normal manner.
Definite software issue IMO rather than hardware as sound is appearing through the headset when using this widget.

stock HOX deadphone detection fail
Hello.
As of yesterday, I too encountered this issue. However unlike the others reporting the issue, my device is running stock, in-fact I only got it back from repair for the WiFi issue a couple weeks ago.
I've downloaded two widgets as a temporary solution. For me "Toggle Headset 2" did not work, while "Wired Headset Routing Toggle" did. (Note: This doesn't force the notification tray icon, but the the sound it still routed via the headphones while switched on.)
Of-course this is not an ideal fix, but at least it is a workaround for now. I just hope there is a proper software fix for it, as I really don't want to send it off for repair again.
I had a similar issue where i was plugging in my headphones and all was ok until i put the phone in my pocket and started to walk, the music would stop and the headphone symbol would disappear, crazy as it seems, i blew down the headphone jack socket and i havent had any issues since, must have been a bit of crap stuck there lol!!!!
I'm having the same problem. Headphones are not detected and Toggle Headset 2 fixes the problem but only partially. Since Sense doesn't know when headphones are plugged in, the Beats sound enhancer never becomes available and (most importantly) neither does FM radio.
I guess I'm sending the phone for repair... I could ask for a replacement but getting a HOX is a lottery so who knows if another phone would have 3 other issue this one doesn't.
Ok, so I'm having the exact same problem as danderzethm, JimmyEatFood and xdn, and I have 2 small questions.
Is this an hardware issue or a software issue?
If it's an hardware issue is the warranty still valid even tho it's rooted?
I've tried several diffent roms and tried to factory reset the phone but to no success, now I have to use a widget called ToggleHeadset to get it to work, but I find it very annoying to turn it on and off all the time.
I'm having trouble getting stereo audio to work correctly. I had a SGSII and it worked fine until I upgraded to ICS. At that point, it would only work with my car until I shut the car off and then I'd have to re-pair it. I tried CM9 experimental for the SGSII (which brought it up to Android 4.0.4) and that worked except I needed to turn bluetooth off and on again every time I got in the car. Due to other problems with the build I just decided to heck with it and ordered a Galaxy Nexus.
Here I am with the same Bluetooth issue I had with the CM9 build. It works, so long as I turn Bluetooth off and on before I get in the car and turn it on or shortly thereafter. I have Tasker, so I'm wondering how to get this fixed. Is there a permanent fix, or can I engineer some task that sees my car pairing, turns off Bluetooth, turns Bluetooth on and then doesn't repeat the task again until at least, say, five minutes?
FWIW, I'm running the stock Android build from Google.

Not sure if this will be much help but I've had similar issues. When it screws up, i get a phone connection but not a media connection. My solution is not ideal, but it works. When i press the pause button on my car stereo, it will then connect to media and one more press of the pause starts the music playing.

I gave that a try, thanks. Unfortunately for me it doesn't help. The media app (doesn't matter which) reports it is playing, but there is no progress through the file. If I simply turn off Bluetooth, it starts going. Then I turn on Bluetooth and after a few moments it starts coming through my car stereo.
I have a cheap belkin receiver which I experience the same thing with. I'm glad to hear that it might be a software and not hardware issue.
When I get into my car I have to start the pairing from the belking device or the bluetooth might hang. Which I get around by either reboot or toggle flightmode onn/off.

Same problem with my stock 4.0.4 ICS Nexus.... but with a twist. I was able to toggle bluetooth off/on to get it to work until last weekend. Now no matter what I do media audio doesn't work. Tried un-pairing/re-pairing, rebooting the phone, and toggling media on/off.
So at this point, calls work fine on my stereo but playing media through the speakers doesn't happen. This bugs me to the point that I'm considering going back to my old HTC incredible with CM7 on it until the issue is fixed.
Randomly out of nowhere my phone has started acting strange with the buttons on my headphones. Only occasionally does it skip songs like it's supposed to, sometimes it lowers or raises the volume instead and other times it does nothing at all. At first I thought it might be the headphones so I tried a new pair same problem. I tried reinstalling the software on the phone same problem. Tried using a different player app same problem. It never used to do this before and strangely works perfectly fine sometimes. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this and have any ideas or solutions? Thanks for your time ?

I ran into this on my prior phone (Droid Maxx). It turned out the headset port went bad...likely something got into it and damaged it or otherwise prevented a good consistent connection. You could try to see if there is any dust or particles inside the port and see if you can clean it out. Likely another reason Bluetooth headsets seem to be the way of the present and future....good luck!

Thanks I'll give it a shot. Issue I have with my Bluetooth is they die too fast. I work 10 hr shifts and they don't survive the whole time lol.
