I use my Desire HD for music playback and when using headphones I have strange problems.
I have used 3 different pairs of headphones with this phone spread over about 10 ish months. Each pair have headphones have been standard stereo headphones with no mic or in-line controls. The issue I get is something when I plug the headphones in they are recognized in the notification bar as headphones with mic (signified by the little icon) and other times just plain headphones which they are.
If they are recognized as having a mic, randomly while listening the phone will pause the music and ring the last called person in my call history.
I have no idea why they do this but it only happens when they are recognized as having a mic (which I'm 100% sure they don't). To get round this I unplug and plug them back in until they are recognized as just stereo headphones. This works for an hour or so of music playback until it will randomly recognize them as having a mic again and start calling someone.
As you can imagine this is VERY annoying.
Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it?
Thanks in Advance.
I think I had this problem before. But it occurs when I use the stock htc handsfree. I could hear static noise and my phone will start to call the last called person. I don't know how I solved it, but i guess it is related with my jack-in or the snd3254 dspmode configuration. I'm not sure though.

I have never used the stock headphone since they sound pretty awful.
I do hope someone has a way of fixing this.

Anyone to recommend a good Bluetooth headset, a set with music controls 3.5mm jack for your own earphones and a display that would display the id3 tags or file name. Of course be able to answer calls.
I'm using a Nokia one at the moment but its not very responsive, dunno if its because of the old Bluetooth 1.0 compatibility.

Sony MW600.
Thanks for the recommendation, so I bought a set after reading positive reviews. Connection was easy and very quick and responsive. But one fault is that the phone itself starts ringing on incoming calls the and some signals through the headset. Weird doesn't happen on my old slow unresponsive BT headset (Nokia) at least the phone didn't ring just signals through the headset bit embarrassing when your phone goes off and you answer on a BT headset.
Any settings that could fix this?
I have resetted BT pairing and the headset but still same.
Anybody use this with wildfire?

Are you using any custom roms? I remember that cyanogen rom has some options about ringing in headphones, if I am not mistaken.
Also, did you test it on another phone to see if it's behaving the same way ?

I am using Wildpuzzle 0.8. Checked media and phone audio is connected. Have tried it on a Nokia and same thing happens. Can the headset be updated or something? My way round is to mute the phone when I connect the headset but this is so inconvenient when sometimes I forget to reenable sound.

Try this: Do a nandroid back-up and flash CM7. See if the problem still persists.
If not... I`m out of ideas. Maybe try to get a refund?
I have read many threads with same complaint, now realising It's a feature of most new smartphones (dunno whether its just android or not) that phone always rings with Bluetooth headsets just in case for some reason you take out your earphones for some reason.
I'm a little reluctant to switch to cm7 waiting for it to be stable first.

I think it`s normal for a phone to ring via the speaker even with the headset connected. Maybe they just need to add an option for it.
I meant testing CM7, not switching to it completely. A 30 min job to test CM7 and restore nandroid.
Hi
Just got the MW600 as well, very pleased so far.
I have the same issue, phone is ringing as well - whereas it does not really bother me.
There are few things not working well for me, so I was hoping to find here some feedback:
- No Song titles are displayed (not so bad since it is normally clipped in a position where you can not easily check
- the call-button does not work to call somebody, only to take a call
- the play button does not automatically start playing HTC music - but worked with Winamp and Songbird
Any suggestions ?
Original Rom (l have 2.2.1 nie) have Sound quality issue over a2do. HTC support said, I must wait for next update (when they may be fix it)

I'm having an issue with my Plantronics 903+ Bluetooth Headset. They pair and play's music fine , but it cuts out quite alot if i move about. Honestly if I have to sit still I may as well get wired headphones.
I am CM nightly's (71) with the latest radio flashed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hello,
i use Jabra BT3030
http://www.productwiki.com/jabra-bt3030/
3 years of working, without any problem
Ok, I really start to like the SE MW600 a lot
If you get a call music stops and you can take the call with one button.
Double tapping the call button re-calls the last person you phoned - works good as well.
But I am still not having the ideal media player
Original HTC music player fails to start up automatically when you tab the music button
- but next song/pause works well
Songbird opens automatically, next song/pause/... works well but searching in a track not and it is rather heavy making the phone really slow
Winamp is probably the best, but I still think it is too heavy
Does anybody knows a good light media player with bluetooth support ?

Thanks for Your help!
Thank You guys for your help. I read thread and finds it useful.
Anyone know how to get the headset jack to NOT.shut. down the bluetooth in phone calls? I play music through the jack when driving. If a call comes in, the call is following the earphone path and bluetooth wont work until it's unplugged.
Thanks.

Bump... anyone?
Anyone know of a rom where this doesn't happen?
I've experienced this same problem. Another irritating "feature" I experienced was when I was on a call on a headset, I went to get in my car and was expecting it to connect and switch to handsfree. I even unplugged my headset FIRST before starting the car. The car and phone wouldn't connect while the call was still going on. I had to wait until I ended my call before it would connect.
My old HTC EVO 4G would handle bluetooth switching like this so easily. Extremely frustrating that Samsung can't get it right.
From what I was able to gather via Google searches, this is a known issue and there doesn't seem to be any kind of fix. I don't think switching ROM's will help although you might want to look into CM9/10.1?
Hi,
I am listening to more music than I usually do at the moment and my Desire is annoying me: while listening to music (or any other sound: games, system audio etc.)with connected headphones I hear the music, but also a high beeping-cheeping noise. Its beeping at a high frequency and you can hear it all the time (making it that annoying). It doesnt matter whether the phone is charging, the screen is off or the device is on airplane-mode - it beeps all the time! When the sound begins the beeping also does, it then beeps, pauses 2 seconds and beeps again, the beeping sounds like a HDD on very high fequency. I tried >6 ROMs so far and it beeps all the time.
Hope you can help me (I could upload a record of the noise, but how to record it?)

have you tried different headphones?
Yes I have tried different headphones and some of them I am using on my pc without any problems. they can't be the reason for the noise.

It might be the headphone jack. There may be dust inside it. Try cleaning it.
My Desire wasnt able to detect the headphones a month ago, so I brought it to HTC and they fixed it. I dont know if they changed the hole jack and the device is out of warranty now. So I dont want to send it to them again...how to clean the jack? Last time I tried to clean it, the cotton got stuck in it

Hi there.
I'm facing an issue with my note 2 since a few weeks.
When i plug in a headset with mic to make a call, the sound isn't redirected through the headset, it remains on the phone speaker.
This is quite annoying and it used tk work perfectly. I noticed that during the call when i plug in/plug out the headset, the sound goes tbrough the headset , but only for like 1 sec, then back to speaker.
I've tried with 2 diff headsets.
FYI, during music and vid playing, the sound goes though the headsets. Really odd issue.
i also face the issue that when i activate the BT, and try to stream the music to a BT device, the sound goes back to the speaker.
It used to work also but not anymore. Its not a pairing issue, i've tried many times.
I guess both issues are connected. Any help to solve those problems would be appreciated.
THX
No one ?
bump cause i'm still facing the issue
Hey Folks,
I realized an big issue on my phone today:
When I listen to music over headphones, I can hear the music over the speakerphone (the one used while phoning), too. The sound is quite awful and is just some random noise. The issue appears in every music app, but only with headphones plugged in. When listening to loud music with the phone speaker, everything is quite fine. The issue only appears when the volume is nearly or completly turned up to max.
I have rooted my phone with the guide by Darkimmortal and [NUT].
Has anyone noticed the same issue? Might this be an software or an hardware issue?
Thanks
