Headphone detected backwards - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure what I did, but when I plug in my headphones it plays the music from my speakers and when i disconnect the headphones Voodoo comes up like the headphones are plugged in. I restored a nandroid from when it worked before, but still no dice...
Is it broken, or what should I do?

Odin is the Key to victory my friend

Not sure if I should odin or not, I did a full wipe and reinstalled my rom, and it was the exact same...

Wiping only clears user data partitions. If it's a system software glitch odining back to stock "could" clear it. You can always do a backup, odin, reflash your rom, and advance restore data only. Otherwise try cleaning out your headphone jack.

Yup was just about to say that... and I doubt cleaning the jack would do that lol

I've had this before. Not sure what I did to fix.. why not uninstall Voodoo as it seems to be the culprit, and try again? OR clear data on Voodoo, you probably have a setting turned on where it does the undesired effect.

When restoring data through nandroid, be careful to not restore things from gingerbread if you're on ICS. Heck, to be safe, dont restore data unless it's the same exact rom/configuration. There's more risk involved[fc's] the more variables there are in the rom base.

Well, as instructed, odined back to stock, same issue as I thought it would be... and I tried to clean out the port, but there isn't anything in there, no lint or dust... so probably hardware issue...

plug your head phones in and out really fast like your "doing it" lol I had an issue like that before. it also works with your xbox 360 controller.

Tried that already... did it faster that I usually fap, still no dice lol
Apparently Sprint is saying this is a known issue, and that I should expect an update soon to correct it... I don't believe em, but we will see....

Which stock should I go to if I want to do OTA updates...?

[Q]Bluetooth sometimes disconecting/not responding on Juggs 5.0.

Ok so my other issue that I even ended up reflashing Juggs for is the bluetooth service. Sometimes when I pause the music player using my bluetooth headset it won't play again when I try to resume and then if I disconnect and try to reconnect the bluetooth service will just freeze and won't turn back on till I reboot. Also when I get a call sometimes I can't hear the caller but they could hear me. Is anyone else having those problems? Is there a fix for it? Thx ahead.
Sent from my Blutiful SGSII w/Juggs.
Try a different rom. I didn't have a problem with juggs. Try dark side. Are you sure you're wiping correctly. Try the dark side wipe.

Yeah did the darkside wipe and the darkside cache wipe b4 flashing. Im not ruling out my headsets but they worked fine on my Vibrant. As for flashing another ROM, I'll wait for a custom ROM from the official t989 ICS source...dont like flashing leaks cuz I need everything to work in my phone just like stock but with the option to customize my own theme. Thx 4 the advice homie.

[Q] Screen turns on randomly

Hello everyone... I come to you with a rather annoying problem. I am running Calkulin's latest GB rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332837 and it happens at the lock screen. My phone's screen will be off and then every so often it'll randomly turn on. It doesn't do it constantly, but enough to be obnoxious. Does anyone else have this issue? I use WidgetLocker Lockscreen (paid for), but it does it with the standard lockscreen as well.
Thanks in advance!
Try uninstalling widget locker and see if the problem is still present? It could also be a setting in widget locker!

I uninstalled WidgetLocker and rebooted my phone and it hasn't done it just yet, so we'll see how it goes. Thanks. Too bad though, I like that program D:
Edit: It's doing it again without WidgetLocker :\
Try wiping cache & davlik. If that doesn't work, then try fix permissions in recovery too.
Edit: Could be an app waking the phone too. Have you tried turning off sync or freezing apps yet?

Not yet, I'll give that a shot if the wiping cache, davlik, and fixing permissions doesn't work. Here's hoping! I have titanium backup pro so I can freeze apps... I know a few things sync like google calendar.
EDIT: Still does it ;-;
Which apps should I freeze?
It might be overkill, but you could just back up texts, calls, and apps, then reflash your rom or try another. Just do a fresh install, don't restore data with your apps. It might be the quickest means to an end. Also, if it does it on multiple roms, it's possibly an issue with the power button. Give her a squirt of canned air before you go running off to the sprint store. Good luck!

Going to give this a shot, I don't have anything to lose. :x I don't have the zip file at work, but I'll download it and see how it goes. :3 Thanks. I'm trying my restore point from before I ever installed a custom ROM to see how that works first, though.
Go SMS had this under settings if you use that app

I had to reflash and reinstall without data restoring on all my apps. I restored a few key apps data and now it's not doing it again. Too bad I had to go to such extreme measures thoguh.

My wifes phone started doing that after I installed ad away... My guess is every time it blocked an air push ad it momentarily woke up. We also thought it might be a locker app or a recent update but removing ad away did the trick. Shame cause it works at killing ads.

I believe there is a wake on notifications option too. See if you can find that and make sure it is turned off

Most of the rom developers will implement ad blocking in their rom build. I know for a fact that Calkulins' use it. So you don't need to install anything else.
Sometimes they list that info on their OP.

Right right, I haven't had any issues since reflashing and everything... I had everything important backed up and I restored bit by bit and it's still doing well. I like the nice, clean feeling now Thanks for all of the help everyone.
And I read his OP but I guess I forgot ;-;

It has a setting where it will turn the screen on everytime you get a text like the iphone does. It doesnt sound like that is your issue though considering the way you say it happens randomly and you didnt mention anything about it happening when you get texts.

phone is starting to act up

I am starting to get a list of issues with my phone.
The screen no longer will shut off unless i hit the power button - comes back on and stays on if I get any kind of notification (email, sms, facebook....ect)
The led no longer comes on when its charging
I have to shut off wifi and turn it back on to get on wifi
when playing some games I get FC's or it will just hang and I will have to reboot.
anybody else with these issues?
No, cant say I am. But then, I'm stock unrooted, nothing modded or changed... yet.
How 'bout you?

Try going back to stock rooted and run PimpMyRom from the Market. Gives you all the non-themed goodies of a custom rom without the bugs and broken parts. You pick what you want to apply.

This may or may not do anything but I would try to clear cache and dalvik.
I'm stock rooted LJC. No mods... going to back some stuff up and factory reset and start over.
for most of that it sounds like settings issues. the game fc tho is odd.

Sounds like some corrupt data somewhere. If it were me, I'd do a clean wipe and reflash.
wipe data, partition cache and dalvik cache. flash the stock rom.
Ok will do . Lets hope its not a defective phone

I had a similar issue with one of my phones.. It ended up being a defective phone, and this was after it was rooted.. My wife's phone also rooted never had a issue.. If you feel it is defective after trying the above, flash back to full stock, and return it. Tell Sprint you are invoking your Samsung Warranty.. Sprint will always try to get you to use your insurance, which is bullpoop..
Phone is outside the return period so either it gets replaced by samsung or Sprint

If you have a SD Card - you might want to remove it to see if that helps as well. borked sd cards can cause the phone to act rather weird. I hope its just a simple fix.

Thats true. I've seen that happen several times
Try just reformatting your sdcard if you have one: back it up to your computer, format your sd, then restore all your files

Lost all sound

New problem. I lost all sound from device after flashing ics. Tried flashing other kernels and firmware after and the problem hasn't changed. Any ideas what the issue may be? Really looking for anything other than a failed loudspeaker. I believe the microphone is also affected.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Did you do a complete wipe? You can lose sound if you have mixed audio drivers / lib files.
Tried pretty much everything. Different kernels gb ics jb. Different roms same as above. Problem has not reversed its self. Even restore from cwm. Full wipe. Factory reset. Im lost now. Thanks for the advice though. I'll compare it to my other play and see if I can find any controversy. Don't know if there is anyway to use pc companion to fix it as I never really use that program
