Earhones not working for calls. - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hello, XDA forum. I come because I have not been able to solve this problem with the information I've found on this forum. Usually my problems a 're solved by searching the forum. But this time I had to make a post with my problem in hopes of getting it solved.
I have a problem where my earphones work fine for music and OS sounds but not for calls. I've tried my own skull candy earphones and the Samsung earphones provided with the phone. I try to make a call with the earphones plugged in and I get no sound at all. I have to unplug and replug them in after the call has started for me to be able to hear the call through my earphones. Else it plays through phone's earpiece even with earphones plugged in ( if I have not replugged them in). Same thing for receiving calls.
I've tried restoring to factory settings and flashing a new Rom but doesn't help.
Why help is appreciated. Thbank you.

is your phone fully stock(no root or anything)? if so, i'd ask for an exchange, sounds like it may be a hardware issue.

Actually, I am rooted. I remember being able to use my earphones for calls before I rooted. Then I switched to Free GS3 Rom linked below.

I searched that thread and found two people with the same problem but no replies. The thread moves along too quickly I guess. I'm starting to think there's something in that Rom that causes it. But I restored and flashed another Rom and it's the same. I'm planning on posting a solution in that thread if I find one.
Thanks for your reply, though. I'm really trying to get this fixed.

I can't answer such a generic question without more information. First, I'm going to assume you mean the earpiece, not the external. Next, I'm going to assume it's STOCK EC05 rooted. So based on that assumption, you likely don't believe you've done anything to your Epic that would cause this kind of error. Then I'm going to take it that, either your question is rhetorical and you believe you have a hardware issue, or you believe that either EC05 or rooting is the cause and you're asking if anyone has had any similar problem with EC05.
I can say that I don't know of any similar problem with rooting or EC05. But seeing as you don't mention whether you're even stock or custom, or whether this problem arrived before or after you rooted, no one will be able to compare their situation to yours. Please enclose better information. The following are my generic solutions:
1. Download Sound Manager and attempt to tweak hidden sound settings.
2. Flash or re-flash a ROM (as I don't know if you're custom or not to begin with).
3. Odin to stock or stock-rooted EB13.
4. Head to your nearest Sprint repair store.

Same issue
All notification sounds and ringtones play through the earpiece instead of the speaker
I had the issue on stock rom figured rooting would fix it.
It did for a couple days and then everything went back to playing through the earpieces as if I was on the phone.
I use a bluetooth car kit often and Im wondering if that has anything to do with it
There may be a simple fix for you. This has happened to me a few times when I have plugged up my Epic to wired headphones. Something about disconnecting can sometimes cause the phone to think it is still outputting sound to the headphones, so you cannot hear sound anymore . . . even with a restart. A simple fix is just to plug in a headphone jack again and remove again. This has fixed this issue for me numerous times.
Lost my sound today
Took the above advise and plugged in a wired headset then unplugged. Worked like a charm...for about 2 hours...then happened again. No matter what I try now, cant get sound again.
B4 u ask:
Been CleanGB/BML w/o any mods or themes for long time.
Havent installed any new apps in days.
No OC/UV
Sounds are fine in wired headset
BT works.
Cleared DV cache and reboot > no fix
ODIN'ed stock EC05 > no fix
---this tells me its not the os, but why did it work after plug/unplug headset?
Yes, Sprint store just down the street, but I love a challenge Anyone?
Same problem. Works fine if I plug in an audio out. But did ring for instant messages for about a day. So speaker does work. Wonder if I should go with the kernel that was orginally flashed with cm9?

There are two different issues being reported here.
One being, sounds come out of the ear piece and not the speaker (e.g. ring tone during incoming call can be heard with phone up to your head).
The other being no sound at all, unless you connect to the headphone jack.
The latter I would suspect to be a HW problem (loose internal speaker connection maybe?).
The former would be an audio routing issue I've experienced myself (usually related to BT, speaker-phone, etc).
A simple reboot should fix the routing issue (has for me a few times).

If u Odin back to stock and it still doesn't work then its probly hardware. I tried everything thinking it was sw but ended up replacing the speaker.

I have the exact same issue, if I plug in headphones it will work through speaker, nothing connected it thinks headphones are connected. I have to jam a eyelet from my shoes in there, and connect it to bluetooth to hear audio...
So I ain't the only one...
Went back to stock, same difference, nothing I know will correct it...

This is a known phenomenon I've seen a thread here before where the headphones are reversed... like it think the headphones are plugged in when they aren't.... dunno what causes it but its certainly not too abnormal.

[Q] Need help! Random things happen

Hi,
I'm using the the Android Revolution ROM and it all works fine but i think my earphones are broke. I do get sound but whenever i plug in my earphones it starts doing weird stuff like calling last dialed number turning on music and skipping songs. Now i dont know if it has something to do with the earphones maybe altering voltage or current and thus making a command but i would like to try to turn of headset commands, does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance!

headset blocker from the android market should sort out your problems. i had similar problems on my stock headphones when they started to die, but it seems to be a common problem with some after market headsets
Thank you i already found that app but was hoping i didn't need to use that app.
But thanks anyway!

[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.

[Q] keep hearing my own voice through headphones with wired headset maximus v8.5

Hi guys,
I hope I'm posting this in the right section coz I wasnt allowed to post a reply in the actual Maximus ROM thread. I had a stock international HTC One X which I rooted and flashed with Maximus v8.5 ROM. I followed all the instructions and believe I did everything properly. Everything seems to be working fine but whenever I use my wired headset in apps like talk, viber etc. I keep hearing myself through the headphones whenever I speak into the microphone. Also the other person's voice is not as loud or clear as before. I have tried different headphones but the problem persists. I don't experience any problem while listening to music etc. it is only during calls that it acts weird. Has anyone else encountered such a problem? Could it be a hardware or software problem? and is there any fix since it is extremely annoying.

My loudspeaker doesn't work

Hi everyone!
I was on the official last rom and the loudspeaker doesn't work, ok, i change to the Pixel Experience and the loudspeaker doesn't work too, so, i can't be the rom, so i bought a new loudspeaker but it doesn't work too, i don't have idea what it can be, if i put the tweak of use the both speaker only works the ear speaker.
I already clean the contacts from the loudspeaker and is the same, doesn't work.
I have the same issue. Have tried every possible ROM and still does not work. Gave the phone to LG and they quoted a motherboard replacement.
After a lot of research and experimenting I found out it is stuck on headphone mode.
To fix this I use XOverideHeadphoneJack via xposed and it solves all the problems.
Hope it helps
Thank You
