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.

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.

Fixed: flashed custom rom
I can't get any sound from my speaker at all. Anybody having this issue or am I the lucky winner.

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?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
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.

Wrong forum, this is galaxy s1 epic 4g with keyboard.
I don't know if this is the right place to post this, so please excuse me if I'm off-section/off-topic.
I bought an OEM Car Dock for my T-989 (also one for my wife's Galaxy S 4G), only to find out that the Call Audio was going through the phone speakerphone, instead of the Car Speakers.
After some research I found out that this wasn't an out-of-the-box feature, but one that had to be cooked in a KERNEL.
I also found out that this a known issue on all Samsung Galaxy phones, and after browsing Google and this wonderful forums, I found a "cure" on the "Captivate" section, which is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916233
I wonder if a similar solution could be implemented on our Kernels?
Thanks in advance!
Nobody interested in this? Unbelievable. It's a problem with all the Samsung phones/docks.
do you have Audio output mode checked in settings/docksettings checked?
App
I had this problem on my Vibrant. There is a app on the market that redirect the sound for you. It's called galaxy sound redirector. https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsIm5ldC5tdXRlaGVhZGxpZ2h0LmRvY2tyZWRpciJd
This was an issue on the original galaxy s line. I thought they had it fixed on our phone. I can not confirm this I don't have the new phone dock. It should work for your wife.

I just picked up the dock last night and the audio was playing through the phones speaker. Did a quick Google search on the phone (car was parked in drive-way) and found that you need to go into SETINGS/DOCK SETTINGS.

We dealt with this on the Jugs thread because I originally thought it was a bug with Juggs and tried to bring it Whitehawk's attention. But we later discovered like you guys did that it's actually a setting that needs to be enabled! No problem with the car dock!

I do... I've checked all related settings, and nothing. All call audio routes through speakerphone. All other through car speakers.
Are we sure this ain't a kernel issue, as pointed somewhere I Googled? (I think is on the Samsung Audio Fix page on the market)

I have the same issue. I have 2010 toyota with oem bluetooth and i can pair fine with it and play songs do skype calls (which works on car phone) but when i have actual call it pauses everything and i have to use the phone speaker to talk the person. Very annoying i reflashed couple of times. Played with dock settings with no luck. So I now carry my cute lil handsets and plug it in when i get a call or avoid taking calls at all when driving LOL
Hey maybe its designed this way LOL
I will be following this thread hopefully something can be done !

Yes, only calls. Somebody said that it had to be enabled in a kernel.
Music plays fine through the car speakers.
We should demand (delicately lol) from our devs to cook this feature in their kernels.
Guise, don't let this die...
I've been wondering the same thing as well. When I first got the dock audio for calls & notifications were going through the car speakers but once I flashed a custom kernel that went away (all other audio works fine). I don't see a flashable stock kernel in the dev forum & I don't have ODIN here at work so I'll test it out over the weekend.

Ah thats good news.. i flashed it right away so i dont know if it worked with stocked one or not i do have a backup from ODIN might try to restore and see if that works.
Can moderator move this to dev area .. so we can get some light on this subject from devs?
I have a stock SGS2, and the OEM dock. I use CarHome Ultra for my default Car Mode App. I also have my SGS2 paired with my cars BT. All of my calls route through my BT, but phone audio routes through speaker. I changed this setting in my BT menu to route only call audio to BT and not system audio. CarHome Ultra is also setup using its defaults for audio routing.
Hope this helps

This was originally on "Dev", it was moved here. Although I understand the reason why, I also vote for this to be moved to the Dev section, this having to do with custom kernel modification.
Just my humble opinion, of course.
I forgot to mention that I flashed a custom Kernel, specifically the "Synergy v0.10". If anyone fully-stock could confirm that call audio is routing through car speakers would be great.
No answers yet?
This is driving me crazy, why did Samsung design this phone so that all audio EXCEPT phone calls would go through the car dock!?!?!!?
Surely someone who knows something about developing is as annoyed as us!
I wish I could fix it - going to do some research here!
PS I vote that this gets moved to DEV section too... this is beyond just a Q and A... and more of a mission to solve!!

The HOX has Beats Audio inside but somehow I'm not able to fully use my Power Beats with my phone as the mic work work most of the time. I actually got it to work once after resetting the device with the headset plugged in, but since then, nothing.
The original headset works perfectly, but still I would love to be able to use my regular headset with my phone. Any fix

well it should work without any problems but if you are rooted then you can try this mod:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692233
its effect is system wide and
u can also goto your music and play any song and then click on the 3 dots on top right corner after that you will find an option for sound enhancer
there you can choose beats audio or other options{ may be this option is on stock ROM also} u can try checking it
on and off
Hello all,
After a few more tries, here what I picked up: While plugging my power beats to the One X, the "headset+mic" icon could be replaced by the "headset" icon. When it's the latter, the mic works flawlessly. Whenever the "headset+mic" icon is displayed, then the mic won't work.
Weird, especially when it should at least be the other way around. The question is, what can cause my phone to recognize the same headset as a regular headset or as a headset+mic?

What is your Rom code? I think you are using AT&T or Tegra 3 Chip?
Is everyone aware of most beats (except for HTC editions) are made for iPhone and iPods? That means volume.buttons on there will not work, the Mic might work but since its not native to android there will be some bugs

I can't seem to find the ROM code ... @ZeroInfinity, I understand that and that's why i'd like to pinpoint the bug causing this and hopefully find a fix for it. If it wasn't working altogether I wouldn't even bother. But when it works then don't, I guess there's a logic behind it

I opened a thread about the same problem not so long ago as I searched for a solution and not seen this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1860611
It only occurred when I updated to 2.17.. On 1.28 before hand the beats worked flawless! Just hope it's fixed in next update (miss my daily music!).. Works sometimes just takes a good few times (unplugging headphone/plugging in headphone) and have give up as i don't want to damage my audio jack!

Related issue. . .
So I have an HTC One X+ and powerbeats. My issues/question is this--can I completely disable the inline remote? Because when I wear mine in the gym, after a while (clearly related to perspiration/moisture) the music player will start to randomly skip to the next track. I love the sound/fit of the headphones but it's unbelievably annoying to have it just start to skip 2-3-4 songs at a time while I'm running! I don't need/use the mic/controls so I'd be happy to just simply turn them off.
Any and all thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Well, the title says everything. The sound on the phone is great for me, there's no issue playing Youtube videos inside the browser, music plays just fine, beats on/off doesn't make any difference and external speaker doesn't have this issue. There's no equalizer installed and I can't figure out what to do to get this annoyance fixed.
I'm using the latest stock 4.0.4 update and my One X is the international version. I'm still playing with the stock firmware to know better my phone. I did the same with my old SGS and that helped me to choose the best ROM later.
Thanks in advance.
I knew this could be a not answered question, because the lack of info and not enough testing. But that's OK, I kinda sorted it out.
I was testing my HOX with two earphones, one from Galaxy S, other from Xperia Mini. As they are in-ear, I never bothered to pull the HOX earphone from the plastic bag. So I finally did it and with those freaking lids in my ears, it works. Then I did noticed the different headphone icon on status bar, it has a button on it. The others are recognized without that. Quite promptly I inserted one of the old earphones and pressed the answering call button and guess what? With the button pressed, it works just fine.
My guess is that HOX is very restrictive with the earphone support. And now I change my question, is there any way to recognize those earphones properly or is it a hardware limitation from them?
Thanks again.
