[Q] Headphones detection fail - HTC One X

Since yesterday, my phone fails to detect my headphones as i plug them in. The only time when detection works is if they are plugged in and i do a reset. but as soon as i plug them out, the phone fails to detect them when plugged in agail.
using ARHD 6.0.0
Anyone any idea?
thanks in advance!!!!

I am also having this issue. ARHD 6 with faux kernel.

Headphones are no longer being detected even after reset.
PLEASE does anyone have any tips or fixes? I don't want to have to send my otherwise perfect phone in to HTC

Well your both on arhd....try a factory reset if that doesn't work run a ruu. If neither work its likely hardware

Tried that, even tried different roms and kernels. Think it must be hardware.

I downloaded an widget called toggle headset from the play store which has given me a work around for this issue. I click the widget and it forces audio to my headset. Really weird as the phone doesn't recognise the headset in the normal manner.
Definite software issue IMO rather than hardware as sound is appearing through the headset when using this widget.

stock HOX deadphone detection fail
Hello.
As of yesterday, I too encountered this issue. However unlike the others reporting the issue, my device is running stock, in-fact I only got it back from repair for the WiFi issue a couple weeks ago.
I've downloaded two widgets as a temporary solution. For me "Toggle Headset 2" did not work, while "Wired Headset Routing Toggle" did. (Note: This doesn't force the notification tray icon, but the the sound it still routed via the headphones while switched on.)
Of-course this is not an ideal fix, but at least it is a workaround for now. I just hope there is a proper software fix for it, as I really don't want to send it off for repair again.

I had a similar issue where i was plugging in my headphones and all was ok until i put the phone in my pocket and started to walk, the music would stop and the headphone symbol would disappear, crazy as it seems, i blew down the headphone jack socket and i havent had any issues since, must have been a bit of crap stuck there lol!!!!

I'm having the same problem. Headphones are not detected and Toggle Headset 2 fixes the problem but only partially. Since Sense doesn't know when headphones are plugged in, the Beats sound enhancer never becomes available and (most importantly) neither does FM radio.
I guess I'm sending the phone for repair... I could ask for a replacement but getting a HOX is a lottery so who knows if another phone would have 3 other issue this one doesn't.

Ok, so I'm having the exact same problem as danderzethm, JimmyEatFood and xdn, and I have 2 small questions.
Is this an hardware issue or a software issue?
If it's an hardware issue is the warranty still valid even tho it's rooted?
I've tried several diffent roms and tried to factory reset the phone but to no success, now I have to use a widget called ToggleHeadset to get it to work, but I find it very annoying to turn it on and off all the time.

[Q] Bluetooth Issue when connecting with OEM Car stero

heylo everyone,
experiencing a issue which had become a pain !
i have a ford figo with OEM stero (India) which is an awesome one. i had a SE ARC before i moved to HTC One X and with Arc, once paired, there was absoultely no problem ever to pair it again, all i had to do was to switch the bluetooth on and it used to connect.
with HOX, i have a major issue, the first time, it connected flawlessly, was able to make calls, play music from phone thru bluetooth on the stero system. but then comes the problem! it doesnt work the next time, i tried to delete the pairing on both car and phone but with no joy.. i did a factory reset and it again worked once.. next time, it says its connected, but when i play music, it plays on the phone's speakers, i went to music player settings and tried to select the player as bluetooth but doesnt make any difference... i read couple of people having similar but not same problem, some have crackling issue, some are unable to connect, but this is strange, able to connect but only once.. i havent formatted the phone again for this and its a little cumbersome as all my music is on phone and i always used to use the phone to play music.
any help will be much appericiated
I have the same with an after market Sony.
Really erratic pairing. Always pair's phone but not media.
Have to randomly switch it on and off for a while til I get lucky.

It works the same as my SGS2 on my Infiniti (Nissan) nav system both for phone and media. The One X has BT 4.0 which I'm assuming is backwards compatible but it might be a challenge with some systems/devices.

Barry, Possibly yes, but i beleive new technology is always backward compatible ..
anyone had a fix ? i read about some bluetooth stack fixes, but looks like it was for a previous HTC device and not HOX..
I can fairly pin the issue down to your car audio not playing nice with Bluetooth 4.0. Yes, its backwards compatible, but, that's not always a guarantee. Get some other Bluetooth 4.0 devices to check.

My HTC one x with pair perfectly with my Mazda 6 Bluetooth. only thing is the steering wheel controls won't skip music. quite annoying if the wife's tracks come on!
have you tried restarting the phone when this happens? I happens to me now on the HOX and did happen on my old desire. If I restart the phone all connects fine and can phone and listen to music.... although the music stutters. using an aftermarket sony.

This same problem here with after market Sony MEX-BT3800U.
Before I use to have Desire HD, which was fine, now it's a nightmare.
Maybe somebody have more luck with different after market model which works perfectly with HOX ?
Mine is a Sony unit too... Possibly that one off the top of my head. It's annoying as sound quality via aux in is awful due to the low volume

Got the same problem in my Mitsubishi Outlander navigation system.Don't know why.Must be the version of the bluetoot that you'r car isn't recognizing it.You can try to do a factory reset of you'r car stereo,i did that the other day and now seems that it's working well,don't know the reason why.I think that it's the cars fault because the bluetooth headset that i use doesn't seem to have any problems working or connecting to my HTC.Even if you have open "slots" in your car to connect you'r phone,the car doesn't whipe the data of the last phones you used on it,that is why i am saying to do a factory reset.I don't know if you can do it yourself,i went with my car at the Mitsubishi Service,they conected the computer,reseted the navigation system,connected my phone and now works.
I find it ridiculous that a £150 Sony head unit has issues, wheras I have a £20 Nokia cheap bluetooth headset that works flawless, thats a good few years old.
Solved ! Bluetooth Issue when connecting with OEM Car music system
Finally this is solved for me after the 1.28.720.10 Update it now connects flawlessly and works like charm everytime anyone else who had problems tried this ?

I havent had the update yet so will have to wait for that to try i guess
Mine takes agaes to pair to car BT and then doesnt connect when in range
Same problem here with a Sony head unit.
Phone profile connects flawlessly every time
Media profile seems random (though I have better luck if I leave the head unit on and switch bluetooth off and on again on the phone)
My software version is 1.28.401.9 so I guess I'll sit tight for an update and hope it cures it. I get nothing new if I try to trigger an update, so it's probably a case of waiting for HTC to pull their fingers out
Mine works great with my Sony head unit and am on 1.26.206.2 (o2) I even stream my music flawlessly phone calls work can you not take ur handset back and say its not working and exchange it for another 1

i have a mazda 3 and i have the same issue! i checked the heck out of these forums and havent seen anyone reporting the same issue i have, i was beginning to wonder if it was just me.....
has anyone else had issues with track advancing etc? not just with cars but with other devices like headphones or bt boomboxes? i wonder if the issue persists across devices.
has anyone gotten this to work with the HOX?
I also have weird experiences about the bluetooth-car connection.
On my desire, when i just get in my car, without doing anything else the phone/car would recognize each other and the music on my desire would start playing in the car instantly.
Now on the HOX, phone part always gets connected, no exceptions, media part gets sometimes connected sometimes not, if it gets connected it sometimes starts playing automatically it sometimes does not, and regardless of it plays automatically or not, i sometimes can use the controls on the steering wheel to skip songs and such, but sometimes i cannot.
Any ideas to what is causing these "sometimes"es?
Im on version 1.28.061.9 and mine doesnt connect at all. When pairing it stays on "pairing" for quite a long time and eventually it pairs but then doesnt connect
Tried a second HOX and its the same with that
Hoping that there will be a future update to fix this

Gap & silent during listen music

-when listen music either on HTC music widget or PowerAmp
- got Gap and silent when using Bluetooth headset
- works fine if direct connect to the ONE X
any idea and fix ???
I've yet to see if this works for bluetooth but had a look at the ROMeOS rom and saw this in the build.prop as monx seams to have fixed the stutter: lpa.decode=true
I've set this in my build.prop and will try through the car bluetooth tomorrow.
To edit build.prop in the system folder you will need root access
thanks , buddy , let me know the result.
Unfortunately made no difference for me, will keep digging though as this is annoying when I have a 40 min commute to work each morning and again back.
Anyone have any idea's?
Edit: this doesn't just happen on the beats setting, turning it off makes no difference.
Anyone have any ideas on any fixes yet?

Have the same stutter issue even after 1.28 update connected with my bluetooth MW600.
Seems the problem is device switching to power conserve core. When i play music in background while running GPS in foreground, iam not getting the stutter.

I have the same bluetooth headset, the MW600 and the stutter makes it unusable. I'm on 1.29 stock now and I got to the point that I don't use my MW600 for listening to music anymore, but just wired Sennheisers.
Have you found a solution yet?

No. Not really
After using MW600 for 2+ yrs without much issues iam thinking to order Sony Smart wireless Headset Pro and see if it makes some difference. But, its not yet available in stock

I read somewhere that some custom ROMs solve music stutter issue. Iam on stock locked and can't comment though.

I was also planning on buying that Sony thing, but then I found my Nokia BH 214 back. It is now charging and when I'm back home I will test it. If it also stutters, I'm not going to buy a new headset, because it's likely to have the same problems, although that Sony is Bluetooth 3.0, which could make a difference.
I'll let you know the results with the Nokia.
I have stutter problem with sennheiser Bluetooth headphones. Am on stock 1.28, and disabling beats doesn't help (although did help on older version)
Music is unlistenable now

I'm running 1.28 & have the same issue with my car kit which is a works supplied Nokia car kit that allows A2DP connections. I'm definitely going to try running the GPS at the same time on my way home from work to see it that fixes it as suggested. I have a usb charger that I plug in so won't be using any extra juice. I'll post back my results.

Sorry for the very late reply, I completely forgot it. Just yet I tested the Nokia BH 214. First my One X couldn't find it, tried for almost 10 minutes. Then I disabled WiFi, just to try, and yes the headset was found. Then I put WiFi back on, but it refused to communicate. Wifi off again, communicating worked. So to say pairing was easy: far from that.
Now the next phase: listening to music. Completely unusable. Very very bad. There's something wrong with output, vocals are washed away and sound like the singer is 100 miles away. While quality isn't an issue with the MW600. But also the gaps. What is also very strange is when the phone is on my desk in line of sight with my headset, the are only a few gaps. But as soon as I put the phone in my pocket, the gaps increase exponentially.
So I think in my case the only thing left is to send the phone back. There must be something wrong with it, my WiFi reception is also very bad. Bluetooth also sucks, so since WiFi and Bluetooth are handled by the same chip, there must be something wrong with it. I really like the phone and sending it back means it's away for 2/3/? weeks, but first I hoped it was something with the software but that hope is fading away.
--------edit: just pissed of by all this. Called HTC and I'm sending it back for repair. Nice phone, but basics like WiFi and Bluetooth must work and they don't. They said it will be back in 7-10 working days. Hope they can keep that promise. --------
Have the same problem with my Jabra Freeway, really annoying to get thos silent gaps when listening to podcasts and music in the car. Tried to run navigation on my way to work today to see if that made any difference but it didn't :-(

Thanks for info.
Seems the problem is more related to Bluetooth version & buffering.
I'm planning to buy Sony wireless headset pro with bt v3.
I'll update once I get it hopefully by end of June...

I just tried using my Moto S10-HD after reading this, and thought I would tell you my experience. I have alot of music on my phone, and I just hooked up my BT with Wifi on and no issues, so I started to play music and so far 3 songs and no gaps stutter or anything like that. One thing that does happen which prior phones didnt happen is that when the screen goes to stand by after not touching it, there is a .5 second interruption in the song, but thats it I am currently on my forth song and the phone is in "standby" mode and it plays perfectly.
I have the WWE version of the phone using 1.29.401.11 ROM BL unlocked, rooted, and custom stock rom.
Not sure that it helps you but to share my experience; I have occasional stuttering on bluetooth using my Sennheisers if the phone is in my pocket. I found that I can replicate the stuttering if I completely cover the top of the phone with a hand on either side and cupped together at the top - in fact I can cut off bluetooth playback altogether.
This isn't a normal way of holding the phone obviously - but it does count if the phone is in your pocket, there is already some 'resistance/interference' from the surroundings. Other than that, I have great wifi reception, best of any phone I have had.
Could this be a hardware fault? Maybe they just need to boost the bluetooth signal / improve buffering?
I only got my HOX this week, aside from this issue it is great, no other issues - touch wood
Mine seemed to studder when it was in my pocket while I walked my dog. I sent it in for other issues and we'll see if the new one has similar issues.
Same problem here ! Kinda disapointed !
Same problem SonyEricsson HBH-IS800
I also have a lot of stuttering. It appears to be a very weak signal because it works better (though still not flawless) when I have the phone close to the headset.
Putting the phone in my pocket is already far enough for playback to completely stop working.

I love this phone but this is doing my head in!!

Anyone else having bluetooth issues?
Got my one x after returning a galaxy note after upgrading. All is good on the phone apart from when i listen to music via bluetooth to my external speaker it stutters and crackles all the time. Tried various fixes- different music app,turning beats off,different album,different music format. My old desire played through the speaker with no issues. Even tried turning wifi off to see if that fixed it and its even worse. Someone please help before i go mad.
Regards
The same thing happens with my hox too. I was driving a car today with Bluetooth connectivity on radio and listened some music, and sound started to crackle and break after half a minute. Tried changing tracks, pausing, soft reset and killing all apps, but the same thing all over again.
That's so frustrating, seems like every day I find another bug on my hox. Can't wait to see what's coming next...

There are already topics on this issue through wired headphones and bluetooth headphones and others have said that the issue is seen on other models as well
Is it just a htc one range issue then? When i had the note for a week there were no issues and in the two years i had my desire i had no issues too.
It all plays fine through my Nokia BH-214 Bluetooth adaptor so could it just be compatibility issues with certain stuff?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
you should change the topic to say that it's about bluetooth problems, and also search to make sure it's the only one. that would be great.
if you're on a locked phone (network lock) and still on 1.26 (anything thats not 1.28 or higher) that might be the problem, there were some issues with some beats profiles so they removed all but 3 now.
apart from that not sure.

[Q] Headphones not detected

Hi chaps,
Wierd issue. Headphones are not detected when plugged into my phone unless I do a reboot. Similarly, when I unplug the headphones they are not 'un-detected' until a reboot.
However, using an app called toggleheadset I can force audio through to my headphones. This is a bit of a pain because 1) I have to remember to do it and 2) I lose Beats functionality.
I have tried using different headphones but this has no effect.
Any ideas as to why the headphone state is only detected at boot?
I have tried different Kernel/ROM combinations but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
also, if anyone can provide me with some pictures of their headphone port so I can compare it to mine that would be great.
Hi,
I have the exact same issue with my HOX since yesterday.
At first I thought the ROM had something to do with the issue, but after flashing several other ROMs, it still wasn't solved. (I haven't flashed back to stock btw)
"toggleheadset" works ok, but I can't use the microphone that way; I can't use my headphones to make calls anymore.
Also when answering phonecalls, sometimes my headphones are still toggled on, so I can't hear the other end. And the worst thing is: when I try to toggle the headphones off during the call, my screen dimms and I struggle to activate the widget. THATS a pain in the ass.
Does anyone know if the issue is software/hardware related? And the best way to solve this?
I'm wondering if this issue affects bluetooth headsets. If it doesn't, I'll consider buying one.
Old thread, but me the same... But my HOX survived waterboarding... I felt into the wather while sailing. Changed battery and screen, but now I see i have one more problem to solve. If any one have solution - please write. But for now I'll try to fix by my own
Cleaning Hole
Try to clean the hole where the Headphones are put in...
If its clean, try to reinstall the rom.

Self-Dialing on Headphones

Hey guys,
I seem to have this weird problem. If I connect headphones (with or without mic), sometimes the phone bugs out and starts randomly dialing the last called number or skipping audio tracks. I'm guessing that it is somehow getting the wrong idea that the headphones are sending it commands when they are not.
Noticed that when i plug in headphones without a mic, it shows an normal headphones no-mic icon. But when the random dialing starts, the icon now has a microphone.
Is my 3.5 jack busted, since this has happen with multiple headphones, or can it be due to the ROM (ViperX 4.1.1)?
This happened to my hox when it was only 3 days old. At that point it was fully stock, no root and locked bootloader. So it's not down to viperx. From what I can remember the only time it didn't happen when was when I had non sense roms installed so perhaps it's a sense bug. Apart from that I never found the real reason, but definitely not due to to viperx
This happened to me when I was using a case that wasn't allowing the headphones to plug in all the way.
