So still running a froyo based Rom and whenever I make a phone call it always defaults with speaker phone on. Just started doing this a couple days ago. Tried rebooting, cleared cache and still the same. Any suggestions?

If its caused by the car dock mode I think I found a fix.
I turned my phone off, cleaned out the USB port on my phone and bridged all the connections in the charging port with a piece of aluminum foil then removed the aluminum foil and rebooted it.
It happened after buying a charger from five and below. I'm thinking its caused by poor insulation allowing static charges on pins that aren't supposed to have a charge on them, however, I am not sure what causes it...
Either way, cleaning didn't work but the crumbled up piece of aluminum foil did the trick. Give it a try and let me know if it helps so I can chalk it up to actual fix or random chance.

Well the car panel app starts up when I reboot the phone so I unchecked the automatic start and the app don't open anymore. So I basically just take the foil and shove up in the port then plug the charger in?

I had the same problem just a few days ago. I took my phone in after having putting it back to stock (Stock Rom and S-ON). They ran the diagnostics and then replaced my phone for $35 under the 1yr warranty. Their first suspicion is water damage but if your water markers are in perfect condition and your phone looks like its in good shape then they might replace it. My 1yr launch day phone looked like the day i got it so they replaced it without any questions. Good Luck!

Ok, let me post very clear instructions on what I did. If your car dock comes on when you turn the phone on , this is the exact same problem I had.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, I DO NOT GUARANTEE THIS WILL WORK AND I AM NO RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR PHONE. Below is exactly how my phone was fixed once and for all.
Here are very specific instructions on how I fixed mine:
1. Power off phone
2. Remove battery entirely
3. Get toothpick, CAREFULLY and GENTLY clean all debris in the port, I pulled out a ton of dust.
4. If you have compressed air, use it and clean it out with that as well
5. Take a piece of aluminum foil, crumple it up a bit and carefully stick it in your charging port and bridge all the tiny pins together, BE GENTLE but kinda move it around and make sure all the pins get touched by the aluminum foil at the same time.
6. Remove aluminum foil from charging port and discard.
7. Put battery back into phone
8. Power on and hope your phone doesn't have its speaker on next time you make a call.
Good luck.
Well apparently my phone must be f'd up. Tried the fix posted above a few times with no luck tried 3 different chargers with no luck. So I guess maybe I should unroot and maybe get the 3d. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
Thanks for this post, I was about to post the same thing. Ended up doing the tin foil trick (took some from the hat I wear on my head). No more answering on speaker phone
So the strangest thing happened. Made a call before lunch and phone went straight to speaker as usual..went to lunch and left phone in the car, car was hot when I came back went to make another call and no speaker lol. Plugged in headphones and was able to control volume. And so far made couple more calls and all is good. Seems it took a week for it to work itself out idk.
Its def the charging port causing the issue. Had the same thing happen to mine last week on my Launch Day evo (Hardware 0002).

-If you dont feel like reading that thread then ill give the short version.
I tried cleaning it out with electronics cleaner and it didnt help. Heck, i used a bit to much on my last attempt (of 4) and it got under the screen. The phone still worked like a champ but i hated that water look. So i claimed Ins on it and paid the 100 on it.
I should have been smart and had unrooted and taken it to the sprint store and paid 35 for the warranty.

I'll second the NoDock. I bought the paid app and it was the only one of a few I found that worked reliably. No issues for me anymore. I'm not bothering with replacing my phone at Sprint as I plan to leave them as soon as Galaxy S2 comes out anyway.
This was a bug caused apparently by Skype for me, in fact almost all the bugs on my EVO 3D are coming from Skype.
No Skype running or logged out, no problem.

If this is only happening when you're charging then it's most likely some funk up in your microUSB port; clean it out and you should be good to go.

see my thread about NoDock in the themes and apps section. it's the only permanent fix (aside from phone replacement) that I've found for the autodocking bug.
it's either a faulty usb port or a defective microusb cable in our (Vision owners) cases. removing car home won't help, downloading one of the car home replacement apps won't help, you have to kill the docking event at a lower level than that.
It happening even when I'm not charging the phone, when I text or facebooking while its not charging its driving me crazy, I'm gonna try that NoDock app see how it works out.

How can I use NoDock with 2.3.4? As far as I have researched there is currently no root for 2.3.4 and the phone must be rooted for NoDock to work?
Mac
i keep having the same problem, whenever i reboot my phone, car home automatically starts, and when i exit out of it a notification appears saying that car home is disable, click here to enable it(something i have never seen before) i dont want to remove car home, because i like and use this one over the 3rd party apps, i find it kind of annoying
Well, I completely removed both the car home launcher and app and they're data with titanium backup, then reinstalled the car home through the gapps flashable zip and no more problems for me (crossing fingers)

T-Mobile just put up a note on this a few weeks ago, says to use NoDock for now (can't post URL, lurker not poster to xda).
//support. t-mobile.com/ docs/DOC-2883
And yeah, this just started happening to me yesterday. My G2 got the OTA to 2.3.4 about a week or so ago. It seems to sometimes be affected by my charger (like here at work, if I fiddle with the charger while it's plugged into the phone, sometimes I can make the Car Home app come up), but this also happens when I haven't been using a charger for a while.
It's a stock G2.
Everybody is saying get a new charger, might be a bad pin in the USB port on the phone or in the charger, might be a dirty USB port, might be magnets (how do they work?!). Seems like this just started happening for a lot of users not long after they got the OTA to 2.3.4, and it's happening on many different devices and carriers.
TMO says Google and HTC are on it but haven't found a root cause yet. *shrug*
I'm gonna try Dock-No-Op.

Car home no more please!
My carhome just started its glitch. I installed the dock-no-op app and now my phone flashes off and on when carhome turns on and still runs in the back ground. trying something posted on and earlier post....
Bad USB Port
I had this problem crop up suddenly few months back. I tried as hell searching for solution. NODO does the trick for root users.
But one day I braved and tried to change the usb charging port pins. Basically, somehow, the usb charge pins (on the phone) were too close to the upper part of the case. I somehow moved that a bit more to center. While I was super careful and afraid of what this might do the charging pin, I was successfully able to circumvent the problem and has not occurred to me since then.
Again, I had to do this since I did not have any warranty on the phone. If you have a warranty on your phone, I suggest you get a replacement for yourself. And if you are brave heart like me, then go ahead and give it a try.
Good lukc!
Hey all,
Just thought I'd let you know... Though I have a Desire HD, I found this thread after the problem started on mine. The app would not let me quit, reloading and pausing, even during calls. I fixed the issue by cleaning out the USB port with a small sewing needle. Unbelievable how much crap i dug out! Worse than my belly button! I'm not surprised it got confused. Worth a try before you send your phones back?
This has been turning my sgs2 bat**** for the last couple of weeks. I've tried cleaning out the usb port with contact cleaner, but couldn't really get the cotton swab in there too well. Will try the sew needle suggestion. I've also flashed all sorts of ROMs to no avail. It happens even when I'm not docked! And kicks me off of calls and apps that I have open!
kmmerwana, can you better describe what you did? Did you just push the microusb pin up with say a screwdriver?
Likely fix
Like others, I first noticed this problem shortly after I got something in the microUSB port. In my case, I was in a sauna, and probably got some sweat in there. This would likely leave behind mineral deposits upon drying, that could cause a short circuit.
I decided to try something a little different - I got some rubbing alcohol and a small toothpick (a pin or needle might be even better), and dabbed the rubbing alcohol into the microusb port. On one side of the microusb slot, the toothpick fit right in and I could wiggle it around a little. On the other side, the toothpick was too big and I just dabbed some extra rubbing alcohol in there, one drop at a time.
This process dislodged a small black thing (perhaps a piece of plastic about 0.5mm cubed) that might've at one time been part of the port, and may have also rearranged some of the mineral deposits left over from my sweat drying in there.
It didn't seem to work at first - for maybe about an hour, I still had the problem. But now it's been 3 hours, and I've not seen the problem for about 2. It used to be I'd get the problem every minute or two, so I believe the problem is most likely gone, at least until I get more crud (yech) in there.
I of course recommend turning off your phone before trying something like this.

I've used this fix for a good 24 hours now, without a recurrence of the problem. No software workarounds, just a hardware cleanup.
Yesterday my Epic 4G stopped outputting any sound during phone calls and I've confirmed that it doesn't transmit anything that I'm saying to the other person either. However, if I plug in a speaker to the headphone jack it will play the sound from the call through that but still will not transmit my voice through the call. All other sound output works just fine, including notifications and music.
This has been happening on and off for a week or so and a reboot has been fixing it until yesterday. Since then I've rebooted multiple times, re-flashed SRF 1.2 with data wipes, and flashed the Genocide 1.1 kernel (was using Twilight before). The problem has persisted through that.
Any tips, or does this sound like a hardware/take it to the Sprint store?
Note: likely related, two weeks ago I got a new sound system in my car with an auxiliary input so I've been unplugging/plugging in the auxiliary cord for the sound system fairly often since then. Could this added stress on the headphone jack have caused this?
Also, I noticed that the phone no longer seems to sense my proximity and turn the screen black when I hold it up to my ear during a call. Before, when I held the phone to my ear during a call it would sense me and turn the screen off, now the screen just stays on.
I would Odin to stock EC05 and see if the problems still exist and if so then go to the Sprint store. Do not restore any data. Test it with fresh stock. Corrupted data can cause this as well as hardware malfunction so make sure it is not data.

Gotcha, thanks. Will try in a few days when my Blackberry cable arrives from Amazon. That also makes a lot of sense as I would want to go back to stock before taking it to the sprint store anyway.
Thanks again.

No problem. It is always a quick way of isolating the problem. I lost all 4G capability and could not figure out why. Turns out there was something corrupt in my WiMax data. Odin'd in a stock tar and all fixed, restored data and broke again. So figured there was something corrupt there.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Dang, Odined to stock EC05 and it still doesn't work. Planning to take it to the store this afternoon unless someone has something else I should try.
Not sure when you got the device (Seems to be newer ones)... But it sounds like the headphone\mic jack switch may be busted. Same happened to me not too long back and they traded me in for EVO 3D because the Epic was on back order.
Definitely take it in to get looked at, as it's most likely not your fault, and you might end up with a free upgrade!
yeah I think you might be onto something there.. I'm guessing with all the unplugging/plugging into the headphone jack that I do that it finally just had too much stress. It's stopped even recognizing that headphones are plugged in at this point. The phone is about 10.5 months old if that tells you anything.

Well i do know that the hardware on the original Epics was a bit more reliable. I had mine from release day, and I still have it. lol Screen's a bit shattered which is why TEP gave me a replacement on my "lost" phone... But the new one i got had the headphone jack issue. Same happened with my girl's newer model. Anywho, when you're unplugging the headphones make sure you're not like twisting in anyway... and don't pull at an angle. Straight outward. Just a good rule of thumb for future phones... taken from a life lesson of mine. lol
Hi,
Usually I just check XDA forums, play with my phone around but I never post or start topics, so this is a first cause I am kinda clueless.
I have my HTC one M8 now for like a week, completely love the phone however since yesterday it got stuck in headphone mode.
The following things I tried: Hard reset, Back-up to previous date, Blowing compressed air, carefully cleaning with 95% alcohol while phone was turned off, Inserting regular phones like 7 times while screen was unlocked, currently using soundabout app to divert the problem... Nothing helped.
The only thing I didn't try is actually rooting the phone however I am not sure if ill have any warranty left then.
Any other ideas perhaps?

if its an hardware problem i'm not sure there's much u can do, accept trying to clean the headphones jack
if its a software bug maybe try:
-connecting your headphones then turn boomsound on\off then disconnect them.
- hard rest while the headphones are connected then disconnect them.
-before u try a root u can just try a factory rest and u will still have your warranty and if that doesn't work its definitely a hardware issue.

You're not alone, having the same problem and no solution. The most annoying part about it is that I have to use speaker mode to be able to hear/talk during a phone call. Went to the shop and they said they will order another aux jack for me.. not very happy

I too find myself stuck in Headphone mode. I don't use headphones and not sure what prompted it. I pulled it out of my pocket after work and found it like that. Restarts and Factory Resets don't do a thing.
When I borrowed a pair of headphones, upon plugging them in my phone starts to dial the last person I called all by itself.
Was hoping to hear how your situation worked out. Verizon said I'm covered by the manufacturing warranty and that HTC will ship me a phone to replace this one. I forgot to ask and am extremely worried I'm going to get a refurbished phone that's already had other issues.
Kinda disappointing on an otherwise awesome phone!

This is a quick fix for you guys and gals. Download the App SoundAbout. It gives you the option to control where the media,phone call etc sound comes threw. Choose speaker for Media and problem solved. Hope this helps you guys out. This website have helped me out alot and I am just trying to do my part to return the favor.
Has anyone figured this out without having to install an App to fix this issue?
same problem...
I'm having the same problem and also go through Verizon yes you will get a refurbished phone. I'm pissy cuz I just paid $700 and now I'm gonna get a used phone. That's Bull****. I'm sick of these companies just taking advantage of us. Also that soundabout app did not work for mine anyways.

Had the same issue and resolved it by applying a small amount of rubbing alcohol on the tip of a Q tip and twisting it in the headphone jack. You will have to remove a little of the cotton to get it to fit. There is a small censor in the headphone jack the registers that the headphones are in. Dirt from your pocket and lent get inside the hole and confuses the phone into thinking that headphones are still plugged in. Do it a few times and then blow into the hole hard to force the dirt and lent out. Best is if you have a can of air for keyboards.
I did it like three times and blew the hole and haven't had a problem since. It isn't a software issue but a small hardware issue. This is the only fix for this problem. If you want you can take it into your carrier and they will do the same for you, well at lease try.
HTC sent me an M8 to replace my M7 that they weren't able to repair. It intermittently has this headset problem - the icon appears and sounds get routed to a non-existent headset. Factory reset doesn't seem to help. It's just back from repair and it seems the same. I asked for a replacement as the phone is pretty much new, but they said it needs to go in for repair again! Needless to say, I'm tiring of this as it's been 2 months since I've had a reliable phone!
The only workaround that seems to work is to carry a set of headphones in my pocket and to briefly insert them when it goes into headset mode. That usually clears it, but it can appear again within minutes. I'm hoping the repair centre can fix it this time.
How to fix HTC One M8 headset icon
Ok so straight off this isn't a hardware fix. I tried cotton buds, paper clips, compressed air etc etc etc.
What does work is this - Install this, or a similar App from Play Store (SoundAbout Pro).
The App allows you to manually configure what means the phone will use for sound such as calls, media etc. Mine took effect after a reboot.
The troublesome icon will remain but the sound, and ability to make/receive calls will return.
Hope his is of use to some of you.
Solution here
Hi folks, I just had this problem and I know the feels.
Now you don't have to worry, the solution is this:
Try using your radio built-in application over and over again. Doing this will make your mobile to search recursively for a headphone/headset signal. Since there is no headphone actually plugged in, your mobile will eventually detect that in fact, this is true and will exit that obnoxious headset mode.
Hope this can help you all guys.
Pd. I'm not sure if I used English wrong, if that happens to be the case: sry for bad English. Lol.
Thanks that helped me by turning on/off the boomsound with the headphones in. I was in the middle of a phone call when my switched automatically by itself to headphones. It took me awhile to figure out what had happened.
I had this problem and I never used headphones. I turned off the boom sound (settings). I inserted the headphones and then shut down my phone, pulled out the headphones and turned on the phone - and it works!
Hello,
So today I noticed an issue, that when on a call, the microphone only works on speaker phone, not during a regular phone to ear call. I checked the Google community, and though the issue has been logged there, there was no official response, and no solid solution from the community either. I'm hoping to get better results here.
Thanks, Barry

Yea don't bother restoring apps and data there could be some rogue app screwing with things

Same result.
I'll probably bring it to uBreakiFix for a new Microphone board.
Part is like $15, so hopefully repair will be under $100 :fingers-crossed:
I had this issue a month ago. My headphone jack got a little water in it and calls only worked on speaker. I also read where this can happen if dirt gets in the headphone jack. The phone thinks a headphone is plugged in. The fix was to blow into the headphone jack. I actually used compressed air but I read where others fixed it just by blowing with their mouth. Crazy but worked.

Thanks for the tip, I'd taken the phone to a repair shop a while ago, and they told me it was actually the main phone board that had gone bad, and replacing the mic wouldn't fix the issue. I did try the compressed air trick you mentioned, just incase, but that had no effect. I'll be getting a 4a 5g once they're available...
