Headphones Issue - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to all. I have a DHD with ARHD 6.2 Rom installed. This is the issue I 'm having. Anybody has got some idea? :
"with my music player something strange is going on... When I connect my headphones to listen,the music and the player go fine... After a while the songs start skipping on their own and some also go in fast forward...... It seems like if the phone is receiving some inputs like in the headphones with the built in control... I 've seen it happens when lockscreen goes on and goes on also after I unlock it.. I tried changing the values in daemon controller,maybe too low values,but it 's not this the bug....... I 've also tried to change the headphones,didn 't solve it.... I don 't know if it 's hardware because I also tried to move the cable and the jack plugged in the phone but nothing happens...... It happens on it 's own....... I really don 't have noooooooo idea.. :-\
ROM is installed after a full wipe."

Try an app called 'Headset blocker" by Roadkill, its free in the android market and simply blocks any false signals from your headphones. I had the same issue with mine but it kept calling people while I was listening to music!
Install the app and enable headset blocking, or keep the widget on your home screen and turn it on and off as you please.

Wow mate!thanks for that. I was already afraid to send it to HTC so I see I 'm not the only one... In fact the phone also tried to make a call,to my father! :-D. While I was listening to music...

I read in another thread that the number of rings on the headphones where you plug it in the phone causes the same problems. That is the problem that I have with headphones that I got.

i had a similar problem on the stock gingerbread a few weeks back. all it took to resolve it was a hard reset, fastboot off

[Q] [ISSUE]HTC Headphones control buttons and mic stopped working !

Hello everyone, I will be short : after few months using my DHD I was using the stock headphones with no problems to answer calls, skip tracks in music player etc...
But since a few days the buttons worked randomly and now even the mic does'nt work so I can hear but we can't hear me.
Of course I did'nt let them fall in my coffe or under a car or whatever, and I tried with many custom rom (full wipe etc..)and also with stock, thats why I ask some help from you.
I looked for few hours in many threads, and found that some users had this after they rooted their phones, I found that HD2 users had this too !! when using android in dual boot so Im 99% sure its a software and not hardware fault, unfornatunaly I did'nt tried to use the headphones on another DHD yet...If I can I give you the results.
THX for your help !
There is a app in the market called headset blocker (widget). Check it out and see if it may be of use.

thx I already tried it it does'nt fix the problem.
Little up for this annoying issue...
I have the same problem with my headphones. they suddenly stoped working. however, my problem is a hardware fault, because the headphones of a friends DHD are working as intended.
I think that yours is a hardware fault too.
I have the same problem, and it's NOT a hardware fault. I don't think yours is either.
The reason for this is that I exchanged and got a fresh pair today. They didn't work! As in, I can listen to music, but not pause or change songs, or talk with the mic. Extremely frustrating.
All this just using the default music player etc.
Yea, mine doesnt work too!!!, it happened as soon as i rooted my phone!!!
the buttons randomly work (i.e. sometimes when i press the buttons, it works, and some times it doesnt. The FF you Rewind the track, the Play could FF the track, etc...) its all random!
I posted a thread before and got no replies!, but its something got to do with the rooting i think. Its not H/W for sure!
I've flashed some ROMs too. It's good (and bad ) to know what im not alone!!
Doesnt anyone have a FIX for this?!
I faced this problem even I did not root my Desire HD. The problem seemed to be solved after I rooted it and flashed the rom ARHD 6.1.5. Unfortunately, I face this problem again now when I tried to flash the rom RCMix3D Runny v4.0. I think this is not a problem of HW but SW tho.
anyone have a FIX for this?!
Damaged pin? That's whats wrong with mine

[Q] Desire HD - no sound on earphones after rooting - help :D

Bought a Desire HD I rooted the phone with ace hack kit,whole procedure,downgrade root and all,everything went perfect. Didnt wanna flash a newer radio,cuz everything worked fine with any rom i flashed. I flashed it so far like 50 times,going back and forth with Erebus,Energy,SmartDroid, Android Revolution, Coredroid,etc.. after some weeks first time i plugged in my earphones,and trust me i have 3 pairs,all HTC all working. I get no sound at all on them,except some crackling and loud clicks. It is the same with every rom. When i plug them in,phone detects the earphones and puts out the icon of the phones,but no sound. When i try play music,or especially when i move the volume sliders in settings,the sliders quick freeze bit and give me these loud crackle sounds in the phones. Tried newest radio,no changes. Everything else works perfectly with the phone. if anyone can help with some idea,or at least help me convince that its hardware related and that i cant do a damn thing about it Worst is,i didnt try the phones BEFORE rooting :S cuz i rooted and flashed the phone like one hour after buying it
Thanks in advance for any help or idea,i searched and searched and couldnt find any answer yet
Sounds work ok without headphones?
How does the YouTube app sound?
If it's the same on every rom its probably hardware or a bad flash of something.
It's stupid but try this
Turn up the volume when the headphones are plugged in, work?
Turn off the phone and remove the batt for a few mins. It's important to remove the batt.
Work? Only solutions i can offer
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Thanks for the suggestions.
Nothing of the above steps changed anything.
Youtube player works fine,tried it the first time now.
Without headphones everything works perfect.
When i turn up the volume while having headphones plugged in,i get these crackling clicking noises, when i move the sliders in the sound volume settings left right,i get these short freezes and crackle sounds
removing battery ( 5 minutes and more ) also changed nothing
Before every flash i do full wipe of everything,sometimes even 2 times (paranoia hm)
So basically,same thing on 5 different roms,fresh flashed or filled with apps to the max,and even without sd card or sim card
Right we'll start the process....
Can you force close some apps
Twitter
Facebook
Internet
Any others that you can, don't touch the main processes. Just basic apps.
Sound work?
If not, is fast boot on? Try turning that off and do the batt thing again for a few minutes and try again.
i force closed all i could and tried,no change
fastboot is one of the first things i turn off when i flash a new rom
tried both ways now,also again removing battery
but what i realise now,i discovered an artifact i didnt pay attention to (stupid of me)
without headphones sound on the phone speaker works perfect and all
but i realised,when i plug in the headphones,i was so focused on the crackle noises and clicks,that i missed the fact that from the moment when i plug them in (while playing a ringtone or any sound) the phone stops the sound on the speaker for like 1.4 second,and then again you can hear the sound on the phone speaker but very silent when i unplug,the sound gets back to normal loudness crazy
i tried 2 days ago to reverse the root process,with ace hack kit,but the process hanged,thought i bricked it,but brought it back to life everything else works perfect perfect,only this thing not
well,regardless of fixing this or not,i keep this beast,its an amazing device,and cant afford any servicing here,will be just sad not to be able to listen to music and play games enjoying on headphones i still hope its some software related business,and that i eventually find whats wrong
Not really any further information anywhere, I could only find
http://www.htcdesireforum.com/htc-desire-troubleshooting/headphonejack-problem/
Some solutions say to plug headphones in and turn off phone, remove the batt and then boot.
Other than that, you don't seem to be alone! Might be a software problem with the specific hardware so could be worth posting feedback in the dev thread as only a minority of users are affected.
I think it must be something in the original downgrade that it didn't quite like.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! After suffering with no speaker sound and no phone ringing, relying solely on headphones or vibrate to know a call was coming or an alarm was ringing, I found your post and tried it.
As you can see by my delight ... IT WORKED! :highfive:
Thanks again :victory:
Ok, that's weird.

Music Player Problems

hey guys, currently running 1.29 on my unbranded HOX.
Noticed earlier while listening to my music through the stock music player that the songs kept semi skipping for a couple of seconds and the music sounded very, how to put it, crackly and popping, has anyone else had this problem?

It's been posted a few times I believe its to do with beats.

Yeah I have read about beats but I thought the problem being discussed was full songs skipping, also thought 1.28 was supposed to have fixed it, hopefully HTC can sort it out! I'm no audiophile but its damn annoying.
I have it to. First i thought that is was my headset now i read its the phone on 1.26 i never had probs
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
i had this too. the 1.29 update seems to finally have fixed it.
that or that i am now using ubermusic with beats enabled
Hello. 1st time posting, new Android user.
I have the very same problem and it seems to be getting worse. It's definitely to do with the phone adjusting network, as when it's in airplane mode it doesn't happen at all. As I travel on a train that goes along a coast line, in and out of tunnels - this is really getting to be annoying.
I'm using both DoubleTwist and the stock music player, happens with both EQ/Beats on or off.
I don't really want to buy another music player

But if ubermusic really solves the problem then I might look into it.
Also happens when watching vidoes inc. streaming video.
This really is a bit of a joke - "Authentic Sound" they said. So far it's about as authentic as an old walkman. I'm smitten with the phone in general, but this is unacceptable.
Maybe there's another fix. Perhaps a 3rd party app conflict? Any ideas?
1.29.401.11
I have this probelm as well, I thought it was my bluetooth headphones until I connected my wired headphones and the problem was still there - Poweramp is better than the stock player. Will try ubermusic tonight and see if that helps. The Galaxy nexus had this problem but was sorted with an update - hopefully HTC will do so too - quickly.
I am on 1.29...11 by the way.

remember android has a 15 minute period in which you can get a refund for an app - if it doesn't work open the play store for ubermusic and the buy button should have changed to a refund button.
(ubermusic is also skinnable, i didn't like the default but the ics style one is nice)

beats won't be "authentic sound" - music with no EQ applied will be the most authentic. but i get the point!

Exactly, it seems to be not just the network coverage, but any notification coming while the music is on.
Happens to me while traveling by subway, the network coverage is only in stations, not between them, and the music starts skipping right away after leaving/before getting to the stations. Also if the network coverage is OK (outside) but you get a notification from calendar, music crackle the same way.
Contacted HTC support and they replied to me to get a replacement device from my reseller...
Bit of an update on this one.
I checked what apps were running in the background - to see if there was anything I could kill to see if it made a difference.
I noticed the widget for SeriesGuide was running, despite my not using the widget or the app for a long time (I had rebooted the phone on occasions since not using the app).
So I uninstalled that application, cleared all cache using ES Task Manager and shut down the phone (not reboot). I heard that a restart could just solve the issue anyway.
Hey presto, no cracking audio or video so far - (that's 3 1hour train journeys).
I'm not entirely 'blaming' SeriesGuide, it may have been anything - but it's worth checking whats using resources that isn't running - I'm sure many of you do this anyway.
One interesting thing is, I was browsing the net or something last night on the couch, just using the phone - when I noticed it started to make pretty audible pops for no reason - about 5, and then nothing. No problem on the train this morning though - so for now I'm happy.
Install poweramp and problem disappear
Inviato dal mio HTC One X
I tried Poweramp - despite not liking it, it didn't solve my problem.
Service repair
Sent my HTC One X to service repair for diagnostics and the final statement is - faulty motherboard. Anyone having issues with crackling music player either when the network signal is lost or when the notifications pop up, go and return your phone.
Well, since my last post explaining what I did to remove the crackle, I've had none at all.

[Q] Please Help me guys!!

Hi!, I had a serious nerve racking problem with Samsung Galaxy W since I flashed it with another official stock ROM in which I got much more languages including the french one. But the problem is that when the earphone is plugged in to listen to my music, it starts switching the soundtrack I am playing to another one that I wasn't playing, it even stops playing :'( . And it's the same **** everytime I want to play my music from the default music player or the one installed like Poweramp. So please help me to fix this!. Even when I wanna listen to my FM radio it shuts down by itself and I could hear some weird beeps from my earphone. The Autostarts apps won't solve at all my problem! :'(

I am not sure about the default music player, but poweramp has a feature like the one you described. When you plug in the headphone, it resumes playing. (An autostart musicplayer feature). Check the settings under poweramp player and hopefully you will see that option somewhere. I am not using poweramp so I can't tell you where exactly that option would be.
The other issues you desribe, I don't know. It may have something to do with the conflict between poweramp and FM radio... Maybe. I am not sure. See what happens when you disable the option I described above.
The stock rom don't have a FM radio app, so use Spirit FM, search the apk and download it.
And this problem happens with me too, but only sometimes. When I'm using a Bluetooth headset, no problems, but when I use a normal earphone, some lags occur.

Okay thanks for your help but now the problem is solved after disabling the "media button pressed" event's from the pre installed music player and many other apps running on your Android's system. It requires root access to be allowed "Autostarts.apk". Anybody else having the issue could use this app to fix it!

[Q] Headphone sound Issues

I'm experiencing an ongoing problem with headphones on my m8. Trying to listen to music is either one sided (left bud) or none at all. If I plug into my stereo, the Jack works and music is played normal.
I've changed ROMs with full wipe & clean install, the problem still occurs. Various headphones all do the same. I'm almost positive it's a software glitch somewhere but can't find a setting for it. I've tried freezing music apps with TB, I've also installed HK to see if that would tweak something. No clue what else to do.

Have you tried returning to complete stock? Stock Firmware/Software? If it's still ongoing after that, I would say you should contact HTC for a replacement or there's a user error occurring.
Haven't gone back.. Will try tonight. Do I use Odin?
