I have tried almost everything to fix this problem but i just can't.
When i connect my headphone (beats and normal Samsung one) to the phone and click on play or next/previous button, nothing happens. The phone wont recognize the buttons. 4 days ago everything worked perfectly. It just suddenly happened. I was on AOKP milestone 4.
When it happened the first time, 4 days ago, i thought it might be a problem in the ROM so i wiped everything and rebooted phone. Still the same. I then re flashed the ROM several times and it was still the same. So i just got angry and put phone away. Then after 14 hours or something i plugged headphone back in the phone and opened up poweramp. Then i hit play button on headphone and suddenly it worked. I was happy, but after 1 minute i hit pause button and phone wouldn't recognize it. I kept plugging and unplugging the headphone and after several tries it worked again for a minute or two, then it didn't. This made me think it is a software problem. But when i had headphone plugged in and let music play and unplugging the headphone, the music kept playing, with no sound (Music was playing when headphone was plugged in, but then i unplugged it, but music didn't stop like it usually does when u unplug the headphone). Now the speaker didn't work. After some minutes later it magically worked again.
Now i was wondering if it is a hardware problem. Another thing to mention is that when this happens(no sound after unplugging the headphone) the phone sensor in dialer wont work. When i make a phone call to someone, the phone sensor wont work, meaning, the phone wont go black when i lift it up to my ear. Also no sound from the front speaker. So i have to use headphone to call someone, until the phone speaker works again. Then the dialer sensor will work again.
I have tried about 3 ROMS and they are all the same. I have now flashed stock Google 4.0.4 and it's still the same. Now unrooted.
Please if you don't understand some parts of my problem, ask and i will try to answer in a better way.
Will take a video soon, hopefully it will be easier to see what problem i have.
Video 1: Here I have just rebooted the phone and opened music app to see if the button on headphone works. As you can see it works the first time i plug it in. But after that it doesn't work. You can also see that once i remove the headphone, while music is playing, the phone speaker wont work. !!! Something i forgot to show you... You can see that phone speaker wont work when i unplug the headphone, but when i click up and down volume button on the phone buttons, you can hear them. Its only the music/movie/dialer etc that doesn't work.
Video 2 : Here i am testing the beats headphone, just to show you that it isn't the Samsung headphones fault.
Video 3: Here i am showing you that the phone sensor wont work in dialer.
Video 4: This one is very strange. I have plugged in the headphone, but when i click volume buttons on phone, you can hear it from the back speaker. This shouldn't happen right? I mean when the headphone is plugged in, then all sounds should be coming from the headphone, not the phone speaker.
Bump. Any suggestions?
*For the last 2 days the buttons actually worked for several hours, but as soon as i take them out, they wont work for god knows how long...
Ok if no one knows anything, can someone give me some advice on what to say when I return the phone? I still have warranty but don't know if this will be covered by it. Also i have just flashed stock google 4.0.4 ROM, but is there anything else I should before returning the phone? Phone is bought from Netcom Norway.

Been having some problems with making and receiving calls which appeared yesterday, all this without dropping my phone or anything, it was just in my pocket.
Whenever I try to make or receive calls the phone thinks there is a headset attached so I can't hear anything that the other person says, I've never actually connected a headset to my phone either and there is no icon in the status bar for it.
I was using MIUI when the problem occurred so I tried doing a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) and installing Cyanogen, same problem. So I tried installing a market app called 'headset blocker' still to no avail. Finally I tried going back to MIUI with a full wipe and using 'headset blocker' and it still doesn't work!
I can call fine if I put the phone on loudspeaker and the music plays through the speaker fine as well so I'm just not sure what else to try.
I read somewhere that a switch in the headphone port controlling whether a headset is connected or not could be the problem but didn't really want to have to take it apart unless I had to, anyone got any ideas?
Thanks for any help.
EDIT: Just tried putting my headphones in and wiggling it around and at one position (about half in) the phone thought there was a headset attached (an icon appeared in the status bar, before no icon was there) and wiggling it some more made the phone start a song briefly. So it's looking like it's a hardware fault..
Just in case anyone comes here with a similar problem, I took it to a local repair shop to be fixed and in the end it had nothing to do with the headphone port or the actual ear speaker. It turned out to be the ribbon connecting the two halves of the phone, no idea how it happened but it's fixed now!
I downloaded this rom (AOKP27) the day build 27 was released and I haven't had a single problem. Haven't flashed anything since it came out. Today, for some reason, and I'm not sure if this is was even to cause of it, but I sent out a MMS to a group of 5 or so and immediately my phone started acting up. My power amp comes on and starts playing for no reason what so ever, but there is no sound. No sounds in games, you tubes nada. All of my notifications and ringtones default to unknown. I can change those and get sounds but it defaults back. I Restored a backed up ROM that I know worked just fine, and I still have all the same issues. Don't know if it's ROM, Kernel, Haptic.....and suggestions?
Could it be that your headphone plug is acting up? My guess is that it "phantom" detects a headphone plug, and routes all sounds from speaker to the headphones. That also explains that PowerAmp starts..
I have the same issue, that sometimes audio is only coming out through the headphone plug even if it is unplugged.
EDIT: Sorry I thanked you, I hit the wrong button and it's not possible to un-thank someone If you thank me we are even.. lol
Hello,
When I boot my phone without my earbuds plugged in, the speakers of my phone are working fine. But I don't hear sound from my earbuds when they are plugged in.
When I boot my phone with my earbuds plugged in, my eadbuds are working fine. But when i take them out, my speakers aren't working. (both the speaker on the back and the speaker for calls)
I've searched google and this forum for solutions and both didnt work.
(I checked if my volumes were muted. but they were not.)
I'm using this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786696
Things I've tried:
- Wipe Dalvik cache and cache and update to the latest version.(08-11-12) Problem still exists
- Complete wipe of my data/cache/dalvik cache. flashed boot.img and installed rom again. Problem still exists.
- Different kinds of headsets. ALL of them give the same problem.
- Different kinds of apps for playing audio. All give the same problem. (Even the phone app)
Anyone got any ideas? I'm new to this so please be noob friendly.
Thanks
Forgot to mention: I use Hboot 0.43
Something is probably screwed up in system and I don't see it wiped from your list. Try factory resetting from cwm recovery AND format /system in cwm mounts and storage. Then flash cm10 nightly. Since none of the above will wipe boot partition, you may choose to not flashing boot. Img. However I would from your pc using
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then reboot.

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately this did not work. The same problem still persists. Could it be that my hboot version is causing the problem?
I'm using Hboot 0.43

Don't think so. But... Check your PM in 5
Did you try it with a different ROM to see if you have the same problem?
I tried installing another rom. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784185)
This has not changed anyting. I also found out that when someone calls me (When I have booted with eadbuds plugged in) I can hear the other person speaking through my earbuds. But when I put the call on speaker (Earbuds still plugged in) the sound does go over the speakers. But when I unplug my earbuds and try calling over the ear speaker I hear nothing.
I also forgot to mention that this problem occured randomly. I did not make any changes to my phone, or installed any new software/apps before it happened. From what I can remember I was listening to some music over my earbuds, and when I got called i plugged out my earbuds and tried to answer the call. From that moment the problem exists.
Also, when my earbuds are not plugged in (and i booted with them plugged in) and i plug them in, my music starts playing. When i dont have them plugged in, start playing music and plug them in my music stops playing. And when i'm listening to music over my earbuds and take them out my music won't stop playing like it's supposed to but it keeps on playing (even though i dont hear any sound from my speakers)
Try an ics rom please. Not a jb.
Tried installing an ICS rom. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601408) This unfortunately didn't fix it.

Try reversing what caused the issue?
Long shot but could work.
So by the sounds of it this would be.
Play music through speaker,
Call yourself.
Plug the headphones in and answer.
Then restart the phone or whatever and let us know?
Hope this works

Too bad didn't work. Also tried playing music through headphones,
call self
Plug out headphones and answer.
No sound :\
Okay it just got even weirder.. I found out that when i plug in my earbuds halfway, the phone opens the google thing where you can speak what you want to search.. When i plug them in normally it does'nt. And now when i dont listen to music over my earbuds and i change the phone volume, I hear the preview beep over both the speaker and my earbuds. I Really dont get what got into my phone
Bump, Still didnt fix it. When i boot with earphones plugged in, and take them out all sounds work, but music and phone calls only give sound over earphones. So this means nothing is physically broken. You guys got any more ideas? Installed Hboot 1.39 and Blade V4.0 rom. Didnt change anything
Bump
So I had something similar with my previous phone, Palm Pre; plugging in headphones caused intermittent speaker/headphone issues that was very inconsistent as well as triggering apps when half-in/out. In my case it was a physical issue, the jack had some pocket lint in it. I removed the fluff from a Q-tip, dipped the naked tip into isopropyl alcohol and cleaned out the jack. Other Pre users also mentioned that one of the contacts on the side-wall of inner part of the jack is "button like" in that it is pressed when the headphone pin enters the jack. When fluff builds up, the pin can force crap behind the contact and prevent it from being pressed properly.
Swabbing out the jack helped once or twice, but ultimately I gave up on using the headphones. Now that I'm jaded about it, I really wish the One X had a cover.
Thanks for the reply, but I dont think it's a physical issue, Since my ringtone still plays when i'm getting called (after booting with earbuds plugged in) and i can still call over the back speaker. Just not the front speaker. The issue is only there with media/music and calls. But how is it a software issue if updating my radio, changing my rom, and updating my hboot wont work

Bump, Anyone got any ideas? this is really annoying, having to reboot my phone every time i want to listen to some music and every time i want to make a phone call :\

I don't know if this has been already reported, it's not a screen waking up in pocket issue. I don't have the version with dt2w.
When I go jogging, the phone randomly skips or pauses tracks, raises volume (never lowers). I use Pulsar music player but it happens also with other players. I have disabled battery optimiziation for these apps but it happens also with optimization on. It happens both if I keep the phone in a pocket or in my hand, sometimes even when I am looking at it and I'm sure the screen is not waking up.
Any idea? I am thinking to perform a factory reset or eventually root and install a new Rom, which ones are recommended for stability and bug-free?
Do you have a case on? Perhaps case is partially pushing buttons? I had this happen on a previous device
Mmmmm, yes I do have a case. I will try without it. But anyway, that would only explain the raising volume, not the playback pause or the song skip (afaik there's no key combination for that).
I've experienced this on my Daisy. If that happens, unplug your earphones then plug it back in. Check if the headphones symbol on the phone have a mic on it. If it does, unplug it then plug it in again until it does not have a mic. This happens when you plug-in an earphone, or any 3.5 jack for that matter, that does not have a microphone and the phone recognizes it having a microphone. Hope this helps!
It happens to me as well, but I think the problem has something to do with the proximity sensor. As long as I keep the phone with the screen facing my leg, my player randomly pauses and skip tracks. If I turn it around, the problem disappears. I think it has to do with DTW.

Thanks to your suggestion, I noticed that when I first plug the jack in, it's detected as without microphone. Then I start jogging, the audio pauses/skips/volume up, I take the phone out of my pouch and I find the earphones now is detected as having the microphone.

That was the first thing I thought, but to me it happens both with the phone facing my body or outside.
Combining yours and my feedback, I think I found out where the problem is. Apparently, the jack slot in this phone is not so solid so when you shake the phone running or whatever, the jack "moves" inside the slot. This causes the phone to lose headset connection and therefore pausing the music and likely also wakes up the screen and causes the track skipping. As for the volume raising, I still have to figure it out.
I will try bluetooth headsets on my next run and report back here.
With bluetooth headsets, there's no issue at all. The problem must actually be the "shaking" jack.
I've also encountered this problem with my own headphones. I solved it by putting just a little amount of tape on the part I circled in the image below.
The headphones take a little to be recognized by the phone (just a few more seconds) but after doing this the problem was gone.

Hey anyone have any audio issues on this phone or possibly another MIUI device? Here's what I'm getting:
Usually, I plug in my headphones and right away I get great volume and my player auto-plays. But as it keeps playing the music pauses for a second and then resumes automatically. The headphones icon disappears in the notification area for that time when the music stops. I thought it may be Poweramp's issue but the same thing happens in the default MIUI Music app. (Playing MP3s from SD card - haven't tried streaming apps yet.)
If I unplug and replug the headphones from the audio jack, the same thing happens still. But after I unplug and replug a bunch of times, eventually the music suddenly starts playing at about half the volume it was initially, and the problem no longer occurs! To clarify, the volume is still set to 100% but the actual output volume is only half as loud as it was initially when the problem occurs.
There's no MIUI audio settings I can find that could be responsible for this.. Any ideas??
This happened to me too, the problem is in outdated headphones jack. Try a few other ones, the newer versions of the handsfree will fit accordingly.

Interesting. Just to clarify, you're saying that the device I'm plugging into my phone (headphones) is the problem, right? It would make sense why other speakers I've plugged in haven't had this issue.. I wonder why it'd be happening since I've never run into this issue with any other phone and I've had these headphones for many years now.

Yes the device is fault. When you plug in the jack, the headphone icon starts blinking right? it goes on and off and keeps on until you force it to play some song.. I had been using my favorite headphones for 1.5 years and i had to buy new ones when i bought this phone because they wont work properly.
