Phone Recognizes Earphones As Headset - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
Since I have the DHD i have the problem that he recognizes my in-ear from skullcandy (no mic. or control) as a headset which should have mic and volumecontrols. It sounds like it doesn't matter but when I listen to music or even when I do nothing and my in-ear are plugged in, the phone begins to call people or stops the music by itself. It changes the icon from headphone to headset. Hope you guys know these 2 different icons. I guess the in-ear sends commands to the phone or something? I know pretty much everything about the DHD, but this... I also tried every ROM available for DHD.
Searched the forum for this problem but I couldn't find the answer.
A friend of mine who has got the Sensation (stock ROM) got the same problem..
I hope you understand what the problem is. Buying other in-ears just doesn't work, I've tried.
Buying in-ears with control is just too expensive

Desire and SE bluetooth headset?

So I've searched around a bit without any success, so here goes nothing!
So those who are in know, yeah my Desire at last came and I'm a happy camper.
Anyway, I'm trying to pair my SE HBH-IV840 with my Desire, and even tho that bloody headset is resting on the very Desire it's supposed to pair with...
NOTHING HAPPENS, nope can't find it.
I know that bluetooth unit in Desire works because I've transferred files from my PC to Desire via bluetooth earlier.
Help, and any ideas?
Bumping up, noone knows?

Headphone problems on HOX

Hi guys,
Fairly new so take it easy on me.
New owner of the One X and is a worthy upgrade to my excellent Desire HD.
Sorry if this has been asked already but has anyone had any headphone problems. It seems when headphone inserted its just doesn't pick this up and continues to play audio via speaker.
I'm hoping I'm being very dumb and missing something cos I don't want the hassle of returning the phone.
Much appreciated guys.

It seems like your phone doenst recognize your headphones...
I had the same problem when i bought my sgs+
i solved it by trying several headphones and it worked with one i found
Thanks for the response.
I'll give that a good but seems bad that it can't work with any headphones.

It does seem strange, I have tried 4 sets of headphones with my HOX (I know, I just like headphones) and haven't come across this.
It could just be an issue with the set you have, hope it's not the phone/headphone socket, good luck!
I've only had it for 4 days so if I'm not happy after some tests it's going back to O2 shop. Which I want to avoid as I have just set everything up etc.

Lets take into consideration
he told us that he has a new phone
so i realy cant imagine its the headphone socket in the phone
if its stock it cannot be a soft bug (ofcourse it could but if it would be a soft bug htc would be a poooooooor cellphone manufacture )
So lets look
some phones (dont ask me why) do not recognize cheap headphones
in some way the do but than only one side works propperly or the sound is messed up or something else
I would call the HTC support hotline
IT must be your phone, mine recognises it perfectly.
Ok however this is a problem that cant be redone by anybody else in a propper way
i would suggest to contact your cellphone seller or the htc support hotline
Thanks for the response guys.
I'm going to try a few different headphones tonight and see what happens. Hopefully it's just these headphones it doesn't like.
If not then a return it is.

Let me know how u fixed the issue
definitely try different headphones. My Favourite pair of Sonys dont work in any HTC phone. They are noise cancelling, so they have a 5pin jack, and HTC's simply don't recognise it.
as long as you have a standard 3 or 4 pin pair, it should be ok, but there are some where the pins don't seem to line up just right...
**** thats what i mentioned to be the problem....
i know it sounds a bit stupid but if the sony headset is ur favourite u might search for a adapter or something else
Sounds like a phone fault to me - I've tried loads of headsets and headphones, all have worked in terms of sound coming out (mic and buttons working is a different story).
Did your HOX come with HTC headphones - I thought they were included as standard, (although they are tinny/cheap) if it doesn't work with them then there is a problem.
If all else fails take the phone and the headphones to the shop and get them to see for themselves.
Good luck.
Ok i dont have this phone and i dont know anybody by the moment who hast this phone
Ask other people u know owning the same phone like u if the may let u test the headset that works for them
To be honest today was the first time I tried some headphones while at work. And they were my old desire HD headphones I had in my draw.
So once I get home I shall try the new HTC ones as well as others I have.
And if not then I will indeed be returning to the shop. I'll let you guys know. Thanks again.

I thought I already did.
And I know totally off subject but any advice on battery calibration etc. Or maybe link to relevant thread as I can't seem to find one. Or one that makes sense to a novice like me.

Right guys I have good news. Its seems the One X just didn't like my old HTC headphones. All others I have tried have worked. So panic over.
It most be as mentioned earlier about the pins.

The battery does not need "calibrating".
Android calibrates its battery meter against the battery when the battery is fully charged. This means that the battery meter will show reasonable values for the remaining battery life.
That is a fact, regardless of what other people may say, think or do.

HTC one x headphone jack issue

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can shed some light on an issue with the headphone jack I've started having. The HTC headphones supplied have stopped being recognised. They work in other devices just not in the HTC one x. Now if plug a different type of headphones into the phone they work and are recognised. This problem only started about a month ago before that everything was ok. I'm guessing its a fault with the phone but just wondering if anyone else has this issue.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I'm having the same issue albeit a little differently. My personal earbuds get unrecognized frequently after plugging for a little while. It happens even if I leave the jack stationary and not touching the phone at all and after 2-3 songs it will stop recognizing my earbuds.
Tried on 2 earbuds same result. Wanted to send in for repairs but have no idea what to tell HTC. Cos it happens randomly.

I had this problem mine used to disconnect and connect randomly i used a app called Sound About by David Woods from market the override the detection of headphones and this worked great. In the end my phone had signal problems so was replaced. Give it ago if you dont want to send phone off.
Thanks a lot for your help. The app seems work.

I had the same issue a few months ago.
After some time i did send it in (htc picked it up thenext day) and they replaced the headset connector.
Since then no problems anymore.
You can also go to Htc certified repair center for this replacement.

[Q] HTC One V earphones/earpiece not working?

And one fine day, the earpiece/ earphone of HTC One V was projecting abysmally low volume to the extent that i could only hear a faint voice. I didnt drop the phone nor did i drop anything on the phone. I tried some volume booster apps but i realised they are only for speakers, wired or bluetooth headset.
Instinctively, it feels like a hardware issue. But i am hoping i am wrong. Can anyone suggest any other reason/solution please? Will be highly obliged...
which rom do you have?
does your earphone working properly ???

The rom is the default HTC One V rom. I am not too sure if the earphone is working or not as I cant hear the voice properly.
Try custom ROMs

not a problem so far for me
Try your headfones on some other fone... It its still not working... The problm is there in headphones... But if not... May be hardware prob. Of ur fone or rom...
Same here!
All of a sudden, ear speaker stopped working. I have used a variety of ROMs and I am pretty sure this is a hardware issue because software had been stable for a long while, and other speakers work fine.
Going to try to replace it...

Hello,
i would like to know if it workes with the ONE (M7). I would like to buy that dongle if it works.
thx in advance..
Of course it should work with the One, it's a BT device after all,it even works with samsung SGS2 and 3 and my Cowon J3
I got mine a few days ago, when i 1st tried to pair them together it failed about 3 times so i rebooted my phone and tried again and now it works flawlessly :good:
Doesn't work for me. Reset HTC One several times, paired and unpaired. Annoying.
Don't buy it. It doesn't work.
Maybe your car or Bluetooth just doesn't work?

I've been on to the phone to HTC.
It's works fine with any other phone I have including windows phone 8, just not the HTC One. I even did a factory reset. No difference. When you paired yours, what was the exact name given, trying to see if the version number at the end is different to mine.
This problem has been escalated to HTC in Taiwan.
Also where did you get yours from, both phone and A100. Did you select soft reset from menu , pair and unpair? Exact steps and I will try again.
Thanks in advance.

hi gavin
when mine is paired up it says
HTC Car A100 V2.4B
I bought my One from phones4u and my car clip off ebay:good:
Same model version as mine got from HTC accessory store. My HTC from Three UK.
Oh well, found another way. Used my Samsung hs3000 with a male to male 3.5mm lead. Does some job.

I wonder if the phones4u has a different firmware or something. Just don't understand why your A100 works fine, and mine doesn't.
Did you manage to get this working?
I'm also on three UK and don't want to wast £50 on this.
No. But that was on software 1.28 not 1.29. So it might work on newer software. In the end used my Samsung HS3000 Bluetooth and just got a 3.5mm cable to 3.5mm. So one ends plugs into car aux, and the other end of the lead goes into the HS3000 headphone socket.
Same Problem
I also have the "HTC One" and the "HTC CAR A100 V2.4B" and like yourselves it will not play audio through the A100.
I have tried it on my old HTC Sensation and it works beautfully, (almost like having the cable connected).
It doesn't make sense to me as my bluetooth headset (Plantronics Voyager Legend) works perfectly (when wifi is off (really bad interference with it on)).
I have also submitted a Ticket to HTC and waiting for a useful reply. So far I have the common sense actions to take, which have already been done.
stereoclip
I have had the stereoclip since June and have got it to work with the evo lte, note 2, and the one. The best way to pair it is just open Bluetooth and pair it there before you open the car app. Once it is paired you can hit the settings button next to it and switch on/off the connections. I am able to use my Dual deck for calls and the stereoclip for music and media.
Well I've now tried 2 HTC One's both failed to play sound, they connect that's not been a problem.
I have even done a factory reset on my phone and it still didnt work :S
unfortunately I can't post the link to my logcat on dropbox so unfortunately this has scuppered that idea.
If anyone can figure it out please let us know
Currently stuck using a Belkin b68 but it isn't as good as the A100 (quality of audio).
