Headphone problems

Is anyone else's headphones refusing to work? I will plug them in and for a split second I get some sound then nothing. If unplug them it works just fine. If I restart sometimes they will work again but then stop for no reason.
Seems to be in ANY app that makes sounds, I am running Bugless Beast v.3 and it did it in .4 as well. I have the full root (NAND etc)
I rooted and installed a custom rom within hours of getting the phone so I am not sure if it is something with my hardware or the ROMs I am loading. I haven't seen anyone complain so I am guessing it is just me =(

is it a safe bet youve tried these headphones in other players?
have you tried connecting them to any other sort of speaker system?

I have had this problem. I also have Fresh, Bugless Beast, and EVOlution v8. Can't remember off the top of my head if I've tried the phones in each. Like you said though, if I re-boot, pull them out and plug them back in, or both, they start working again. Weird. The earphones work on my laptop. Hasn't been too much of an issue (doesn't happen all the time) so I've been ignoring it. Besides, the sound quality of the phones I have sucks!! I'm ordering new ones soon and I'm hoping that will resolve the issue. Haven't seen anyone else with this problem so I assumed it was the phones (they were SUPER cheap, like $10).

Yes they work other places and in other systems. They are very expensive headphones so I am certain it isn't the headphones issue.

headphone problem
had that also may be the music app you have on the phone or maybe too many music apps. i had mixzing media player, double twist and the standard music app. i took the mixzing player off and had no issues after that. don't know if this is the answer, but something to look at. hope this helps.

I think other users have found that a normal stereo jack doesn't fit right. I heard there is a small adapter to go from the 3 contact stereo to 4 contact stereo with Mic. I haven't looked for it yet.
It's a female trs to male trrs adapter.

I think that will help.

Headset Blocker.
It has something to do with how the jack seats. The widget nukes the mic function and fixes the problem so now all my headphones / car jacks work.
It blocks the headset / mic function so your normal jacks will work without issue. I have been using it since release day and no more problems. Who uses those wired mic/headsets anymore anyhow.......BLUEHAIRS thats who.

In fact they only show up now as a mic'd headset, after that delay..any ideas?

Fixed: flashed custom rom

Sound coming from only one earpiece...

I have a DInc2 which I recently just S-off'ed and rooted, I have CM7 beta 1 and until yesterday I was having audio outputted through both earpeices, but today I tried 3 different headphones (Sennheiser,Apple,and SkullCandy) but they all play through the left ear only, they're not broken as on my iMac they work normally. Also when I plug them in it displays the "headset w/ mic" icon, even though they don't have mics. Can I fix this without factory resetting ( like if the fix is in the nightly builds?)

EDIT!: A power-off fixed it

having the same issue on Miui 1,7.8. reboot didn't work for me.

Try powering it off, and leaving the battery out for a minute or so, that's what I did when it happened again to me.

No luck. Pulled battery and held power for 10 seconds then rebooyed
Still shows headset with Mic icon and giving me only left audio

I get the headset icon as well (headphones with mic). However, I get stereo audio.

hmm. is there some setting i need to change? also, i am using google music beta since i got an invite, maybe ill try other software and see what happens?
are you both running miui?

I'm running CM7, for me the problem was with any app, until I took out the battery and rebooted.

Constantly losing Bluetooth when A2DP triggers

I have a Bluetooth headset that supports A2DP. All notifications and media play through it automatically, which I very much like. It worked perfectly on my OG Epic 4G, but on the Touch I've had constant issues where somewhere around 25% of the time that my phone sends it something via A2DP (usually a notification sound) my Bluetooth will disconnect, I'll hear its disconnect sound, then I'll have to wait a couple of seconds to hear it reconnect, which it succeeds at roughly 80% of the time. Otherwise I have to turn it off and back on to get it to connect.
Anyone else experience the same with theirs? Any thoughts on a cause/solution?

Are you rooted? What ROM are you running?

While I am now rooted, but otherwise stock, this problem has occurred since day one. It's not related to any customizations.

Am I REALLY the only one experiencing this? Seems surprising.

No. I thought it was my headset, and I was about to replace it.

All right, so we've got one more person with the same issue. Now if only we had some extra thoughts on a solution, or a line on this being something Samsung is aware of.

Since this got moved I'm not sure if it's been seen in this forum. Anyone got any thoughts? Similar experience? Idea of if there's a possible fix?

I'm have a problem playing bluetooth audio through my factory stereo
I'm have a problem playing bluetooth audio through my factory stereo, which worked flawless with the EVO. This is a show stopper for me because I travel a lot and listen to podcasts in my car. Since I got the E4GT I have been unable to stream BT audio.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out this is related to the same SoundPool bug that causes a lot of games to crash on the E4GT. I have no further info to help you, unfortunately; you can Google around about that. The short version is that that if it IS another symptom of that same bug, there's probably no fix.

I have a tiny Bluetooth USB jig that I plug into my laptop and my music plays fine through my laptop. I will test it out over a longer period of time tomorrow but so far its been great..

Headphone Sound Issue on Cm9 beta 1

After flashing the second most recent nightly, the sound coming through the headphones has been very... off. From the sound of it, lead and backing vocals on all of my songs are switched when it comes to loudness, regardless of audio player app. I've tried the headphones on my nexus tablet and they sound fine. Also, when I plug my phone into my car's audio system through a cassette to 3.5 jack converter, it sounds fine. Any ideas?

Have you tired beta 1. If you don't have an issue on beta 1 stay on it. There's a reason they are nightlies. Things will be broken.

Just re flashed beta 1 last night and the sound works again. I was just wondering if anybody else was having this issue, or if my headphone out was damaged.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

If you flashed beta 1 and it works fine now it was proably the nightly install not your headphone jack. Nightlies have issues usually. Some might not even boot up sometimes stick with beta 1 for more stability. Also I was on the beta for about a month and had not one issue with hooking up anything to the headphone jack, or anything to do with any sound at all.

The problem's started up again, on the beta this time. I've tested the headphones on another device, tested the device with other headphones, tested off device audio files, re flashed the beta, etc. As a matter of fact, these headphones originally worked with the phone.
I had been using the beats mod from ...Awesome... When I flashed the nightly for the first time, this carried over, then the audio messed up. When I re flashed the beta, it got rid of the beats mod, which I just reinstalled. The only test I haven't made is a clean reinstall, which I'll try later if nothing works.
It seems to be a compatibility between the phone itself and these specific headphones, which, of course, sounds ridiculous. They're mic1 skull candies, and the only difference between them and the other headphones I've tried is that the ones that don't work have the thin gold colored plating.
I've pretty much just resigned myself to listening to music on my nexus, but if anybody had any suggestions, I'd be happy to try them. You know. For science.

Headphones crackling

Sorry if this is a repeat, I couldn't find this issue.
When I plug in the headphone jack there is no recognizable audio. Fiddling with the AUX cord plugged into the phone produces buzzing and popping.
I thought it might be a hardware problem so I tried a new ROM and then problem went away. So I figured it was just that ROM.
But the next time I plugged into the audio jack the problem had returned. I tried a couple more ROMs with an identical result. Basically after each fresh install it works for like one attempt.
Does anyone know how I can determine if this is a hardware issue or not (flash stock and unroot then try?) and then how to proceed from there?
Thanks!

Jedi X

I would honestly return that phone for another one. That sounds like a hardware issue with the jack itself or the sound chip.

Hey I'm having just about the same problem as you are with my headphones.
Can you possibly try something for me, I am running a TW from nun hugger with the preus kernel. There is a app that comes with the room where you can make adjustments to the sound output. See if you can decrease output and if that takes away the crackling.

Hey just wanted to add a screen shot of what I was talking about.

Ok so I'm running Jedi X. There is an app called Voodoo Sound which seems to have the same setting your talking about. I turned them down and nothing seemed different.
Next I turned them all the way down (headphone amplifier: -57db and volume limit: -57db)
Then I tried to play an audio book. This time I hear buzzing with each word. Its also clear now that you are in fact listening to someone speak (even though I still cant make anything out) before I would only hear a random buzz and would mostly hear silence in between the buzzing and crackling.

Just a couple q's:
Have you tried different headphones? Maybe a dual 3.5mm cord to some speakers?
Are you pushing the headphones in all the way? (I didn't my first time)
What type of headphones are you using?
Last, is the jack loose (wobly/free floating).
I have a pair of older samsung headphones that somehow got snagged and the wire was pulled partially apart on the inside. When I use them I have the same problem that you are describing. They also produce a lot of static electricity and shock my ears while using them lol.

Hey leptone,
I tried voodoo as well but if you've tried what Brad was mentioning about making sure your headphones weren't buggered
I would highly recommend trying the Presues kernel with any other rom just because saber and Jedi are built together.
Try skynote or the Alliance rom (novella dos), or any other TW rom.
Now I'm not saying anything against the Jedi dev. I ran his rom on my phone for a week before I saw that Sean was developing for this phone, and even then I had saber as my kernel of choice. It's just the fact that even though we all run the same phone and hardware there are slight variations and to find the best setup you will have to put some effort in to try the combinations.
