Hello all
actually I can't say if this has been already treated, but in case I could be told where to look for.
Here we go: sometimes when I reboot my desire , the phone starts with the headphones icon up, as if I plugged in the headphones... even though I didn't do it! So I can't hear any sound untill I plug the headset in and out again. Has anyone experienced this issue and knows a solution? This occurs regardless of the rom...

Maybe something stuck in your headphone jack?
back up u are data
and do factory data reset
It is possible the innards of your headphone jack is dirty, probably from pocket lint or dust. Cloth and dirt can be electrically conductive in some cases, and it may be causing the false headphone notification to show up.
Don't use canned air as it may just push the dirt deeper into your device. Sticking alcohol/contact cleaner-soaked qtips/cotton tip buds into the headphone jack is not advisable either, since they can leave behind cotton fibers inside the jack.
Have your device checked out and its innards cleaned, or at least the headphone jack. Dirt and dust is never good for electronics
Worse case scenario is your headphone jack is on its way out
Actually there was some dust in the inner jack, but that was not the problem since rebooting showed the problem again.
Anyhow I downloaded toggleheadset2 and I checked the option to force speaker on reboot. It works flawlessy.
I had similar problem when my Desire suddenly activated car dock mode, reason was some pocket lint in usb connector. Had to use some electronics cleaner and canned air to get it sorted.

take apart my device
and get the part nr from the speaker or simply remove the speaker
and take it to a electronic store and get one like it
The speaker on my mini s stopped working shortly after using headphones in the headphone socket.
I googled the problem and read somewhere (can't remember where) that a solution might be to "blow" into the earphone socket.
They couldn't be serious, could they??? So I blew, and blow me, it works ok again. Maybe muck gets into the socket. As I say, it worked for me.
Headset connector causing issues with internal speaker..
Before you start pulling apart your unit (and voiding any warranty left), make sure to try a bit of Electrolube contact cleaner into the headset connector (and a few insert / removes of the headphones).. The little metal ground pin seems to deform and lock 'out' sometimes.. causing the PDA to get stuck in 'headset inserted' mode...
Unfortunately the only way to fix this if the connector is bent is often to bend the connector back into place (open the unit).
Good luck!

I was listening to music in my car today with my Sprint TP2 hooked up via the 3.5mm audio jack. When I disconnected the phone from the jack, the phone remained in 'headphone mode'. I knew it was in headphone mode still because it displays the little headphone icon on top and I could not hear any audio unless I reconnected the 3.5mm jack. So basically, I can't call anybody from my phone right now unless I hook it up to some speakers via the 3.5mm jack. That or use my BT headset.
Things I have tried to fix the phone;
- Unplugged and replugged in the 3.5mm stereo jack numerous times.*
- Soft reset
- Removed battery for 30 seconds and restarted
- Connected BlueTooth stereo headset and disconnected
* Extra weirdness; Gives me a voice commander error when I reconnect the jack. Voice Commander is not even enabled.
Nothing worked. So I just did a backup of my phone and I'm going to attempt a hard reset. We'll see if that fixes it.
Update: Right after I posted this thread, I tried plugging in several different devices with 3.5mm jacks and the headphone icon disappeared. However, I still did not have any audio. So I did a soft reset and surprise surprise... audio is back!!!
Anybody else encounter this bug? I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware bug, but it's definitely a bug.
guys, do you mean you have already have the 3.5mm specification tp2 ?
i didn't see it yet..
sounds like a hardware issue? especially if the soft reset did not resolve the issue...

Sprint and Verizon versions of TP2 have a integrated 3.5mm jack.
I just had the same problem being stuck in headset mode
I tried a soft reset with no luck so I was pretty sure it was something physically wrong. Instead of plugging my headset all the way back in and taking it out, I used the tip of the plug (like a Q-tip, 1/4 of the way in) to see if there were any sensors or metal still depressed and after a few light sweeps, the headset mode icon disappeared. Keeping my fingers crossed, I didn't use the 3.5mm jack for the rest of the night and I was able to use my headset and removed it without a problem this morning.
Ultimately this is most likely a physical issue, but I'd rather not send my phone in for a replacement (even though this would probably qualify as a manufacturer defect). Hope this helps if anyone experiences this in the future.

It is a hardware issue and is common to most 3.5mm jacks. I had also experienced this last year with my Treo Pro and since I really wanted to know the problem, I opened up my phone and voided all warranties. Inside the 3.5mm jack there's a lever type copper that bends to make contact with another copper metal, some kind of switch that's supposed to connect and disconnect the contact between these 2 metal pieces whenever a head 3.5mm plug is inserted.
What happened is when you disconnected the plug, the metal that's supposed to bend back to it's original position never did. That's why it's permanently stucked in headset mode because the phone thinks the plug is still inside. This probably happens due to age and possibly has something to do with moisture and rust, not to mention that copper is highly malleable.
Sad to say that until now this technology hasn't changed and is still being widely used. Hopefully someone will give this issue a real solution.
I had this problem recently and took a dry q tip and rubbed it back and forth across the little pin on the bottom of the headphone jack until it cleared up the problem.
Does anyone know if a USB to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter works on the CDMA tp2? I'd really like to use regular headphones but don't want to jeopardize getting my phone stuck in headphone mode.

Yes, the USB headphone adapter works on the CDMA versions. If you plug in a second headphone set to the other open port, which ever one was connected lastly will be the one to have sound.
Fixed the problem!
I had to disassemble the phone, voiding the already expired warranty and solder the contacts together on the audio jack. I can't use a 3.5 mm jack anymore, but I can at least use the phone now without always using a bluetooth. I'll get a usb adapter for when I want to listen to music.
Here is a picture of the contacts I soldered. I used a 20 w soldering iron, I wouldn't use anything larger.

i would hate to do this on my vibrant lol, media sound recently gave out on me after unplugging the headphone. this sucks. id look around for replacement parts..til then.. gotta get busy with the q tips til i get it to work.
My ZL is about 2 weeks old, and i tried to put in the headphones in it, but somehow, it seems like the rubber black cover that is inside the audio jack pushed down, and is now causing a barrier between any headphones i put in and the bottom of the audio jack.
I can't use phone in bluetooth mode, as phone thinks there are headphones in it, probably because of that rubber part touching the base of the audio jack. Please help, i am unsure what to do, i tried to fish it out but it seems to be stuck in it well. If i try to put in headphones, it just won't go all in, and the headphones don't work .
This happened to my Sony Vaio laptop a few years back. I used tweezers to pull it back out and was able to fix the headphone being detected. It took a long time though Good luck!
My headphones pull out of my audio jack very easily, too easily. I also tried cleaning out my audio jack too, but it didn't help very much. Any suggestions on what to do about this problem. Anybody else experiencing this?
Are you using a case or does it also happen when you don't use one?
It happens even when I don't use one.
This happened to me too quite recently, was really bummed since the phone was going really well for almost 2yrs, turns out it was just lint from my pocket building up in the jack and getting mashed in by the 3.5mm plug. Got a toothpick and pulled it out in a clump, hasn`t missed a beat since. Of course the other problem could be the headphones themselves, try to replicate the issue with another set if you can and if they`re an expensive headphone you can re-terminate them or have an electronics store do it for you!
Not sure if this is a problem with the particular earbuds I'm using or if this is a common problem. I've already when through cleaning the jack with q-tips and alcohol. I'm using the Sony Earbuds (20 buds). It seems the jack is easy to lose connection and then I have to push it back in with my hand. My fear is that eventually the port will just go bad or become loose.

I have had the same problem for 1.5 years. It has gotten progressively worse and now I just have to use bluetooth earbuds unless I want to hold the earbuds in all the time. I've not seen any fixes available. This must be a common build quality issue.

You are not the only one with this problem I've had 3 of the HTC desire 816 but there is a way to fix it the metal prongs on the inside start to lose there spring I found the best way to fix it is to open the phone remove the motherboard and inspect the jack and see if its the soder or the prongs on the inside hope this helps
Yes I have HTC Desire 816 and headphone plug does pop out. If you have acquired great condition HTC Desire 816, I recommend only using a headphone with a plug that firmly clicks into the jack, or get a small male to female 3.5mm 1/8 inch TRS (TRRS for microphone) adapter from a retailer near you.
