HTC one x headphone jack issue

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can shed some light on an issue with the headphone jack I've started having. The HTC headphones supplied have stopped being recognised. They work in other devices just not in the HTC one x. Now if plug a different type of headphones into the phone they work and are recognised. This problem only started about a month ago before that everything was ok. I'm guessing its a fault with the phone but just wondering if anyone else has this issue.

I'm having the same issue albeit a little differently. My personal earbuds get unrecognized frequently after plugging for a little while. It happens even if I leave the jack stationary and not touching the phone at all and after 2-3 songs it will stop recognizing my earbuds.
Tried on 2 earbuds same result. Wanted to send in for repairs but have no idea what to tell HTC. Cos it happens randomly.

I had the same issue a few months ago.
After some time i did send it in (htc picked it up thenext day) and they replaced the headset connector.
Since then no problems anymore.
You can also go to Htc certified repair center for this replacement.

I´ve tried this program and i could set it to headset output. But after this my speaker has no function, when i disconnect the headset. I have to change the settings in the program again. Any idea?

I just bought the HTC ONE but the headphones is not recognized andi can't find the "sound about" app nowhere in the market.

I got this error to on my HOX but with beats tour earphones my phone just don't recognize them now anymore, but what is strange is that it works with any others earphones...

ZL C6503 turning off after rooting

Unlocked bootloader and rooted phone but now is causing my issues. Whenever I use mobile data and connect to maps my phone turns off after 30 seconds or so. Sometimes it won't even turn on I have to connect to charger then it's fine. This happens every time.
I'm on 4.2.2
Build .244
This started after I flashed the above build. This happens Even on older versions. Help please.

You did a full reset and wipe (incl the internal SD)?
Problems otherwise likely.

I believe so will try again.should I flash via external card? Come to thinking don't think I did.
No difference still same issue.
Should have left it no point rooting this, last time I probably buy Sony.

Only seems to be you having problems... not Sony's fault if you alone can't get it.

I have C6506, I have overheating and reboots. When it overheats a little it reboots automatically, sometimes even doesn't get to homescreen.
I've send a letter to sony, but about 4 days, no answer!
I rooted the phone, unlocked the bootloader, flashed stock firmware and nothing changed for a while, but then suddenly it rebooted.
And I locked bootloader, and full wiped all phone, all sd cards, but no luck. Even unrooted the phone, but the Overheating is still there. ;(
Some tips.​Answer for Z1 is firmware downgrading, but is it for our ZL! ?

Well in the end I just sent it in for repairs. Sony are trying to fix issue, it's been over 10 days still not sorted. I think they are awaiting parts, will keep you posted.
Unsure if I will be charged for this or not.
Btw downgrading didn't make a difference.

I guess Sony makes it harder for them selves for making so much problems with these Battery's for ZL,Z,Z1 phones. So much clients are very sad and angry and probably they won't buy another Xperia phone ever again. This was an SHOCK FOR ME, that such a company (SONY) would be so lightminded about their phones.
REALLY SAD!
Waiting for you'r answer!
I'll be posting too, when sony writes back!

This experience has left me very dissatisfied with Sony, I dont think I'll be buying xperia again but if they fix issue for free might consider sony in the future.
2 companies on my list I try to avoid LG and Sony when it comes to smartphones.

That's very interesting maybe that's why sony have not mentioned anything about cost, even though I've rooted and unlocked bootloader.
A month is a long wait mind you.

I did flash generic rom and unlock boot loader via flash tool.

Some say that these problems with inbuilt battery are because of the chargers.
The seller i bought from said that it could solve the problem by finsing the original usb cable and the charger.
The problem with me is that my adapter is for USA and I can't simply use in Latvia(Europe).
So try charging youre phone with original usb and adapter, that came with youre phone.
Somebody knows prices for fizing this problem if sony charges from me.?

[Q] ZL wont boot without power source

So my ZL won't power up past the boot animation without an external power source.
When I do boot it up and unplug the USB cable, it works for about 30 seconds then it shuts down.
The phone seems to charge fine.
I've already wiped the phone and flashed stock ftf files but the problem persists.
I don't know what else to try, any suggestions?

Did u contact Sony? They can fix or replace your phone under warranty
Sent from my C6506 using xda app-developers app

That's kinda like last resort.
My bootloader is also unlocked so i would actually rather buy another phone than shell out a few hundred to fix it.
Recovery, fastboot, and flash mode work normally. Its just booting into the system.

I dont think Sony will take it under warranty because unlocking the Bootloader voids warranty...

Funny, mine is doing the EXACT same thing. I think mine overheated once this week, and now I can't boot without plugging it in, and if it doesn't stay plugged in, it will rebook when I launch an app.

Of course I have! lol, this isn't a ROM issue, it's a hardware issue. I have a locked bootloader, no custom kernel, which means no damage from ROMs.

That means you can use Sony Companion software and install the stock firmware from Sony and send it to Sony for repair or replacement.

I was commenting because it's likely we have the same problem, and since I've never heard of this particular problem in ANY OTHER android, it makes it a ZL problem. I was simply letting the OP know he's not alone, obviously we're both going to send them to Sony for replacement.

My ZL developed this issue today. the key difference is that I need it plugged into the charger to boot since it will not boot when it is plugged into my pc.
c6506, rooted once, locked bootloader, no custom roms installed.

Wow..I'm glad I'm not the only one - getting like no responses from my post from a couple of weeks ago was really disenheartening. did Sony send you shipping instructions? did they offer to accept it right away, no questions asked, or did they grill you about your phone? just want to know what to expect

Its actually quite painless.
I called and told them the problem, assured I tried restoring the phone, then they gave me an RMA number and details where to mail it to.

I don't own a ZL, but i'm planning on buying one later this year(I hope!). Since there are several cases of this issue it would be a good idea if everyone who has it gives a bit of detail on phone usage, how long they've owned the phone, charging habits, etc.

I consider myself a very "light" user as I use the phone to check emails/send texts, and look up the odd thing that's blocked at work. While on the subway, I'll listen to music or watch the odd video that I've DL'd...very minimal gaming, though the last two games I DL'd were a couple of Mobage games - Transformers Legends and Monster Match which I would play pretty much all day when work is slow.
Nothing out of the ordinary with charging..phone gets to ~10%, I'll charge. There was the odd times I would charge the phone while playing those games, but again, nothing out of the ordinary

Just became another Victim of this issue two days ago.
were this all happened on 4.2.2 - 10.3.1.A.2.67?
I updated to 4.2.2 - 10.3.1.A.2.67 few days ago and then this happened.
anyone got his/her fixed already?

ZL doesn't boot after root

So, me and a friend of mine tried to Root my brand new Zl ( model no. c6502 ) after that, whenever I try to turn it on (without a charger), the device vibrates, Sony logo appears and then shut off itself. With the wall charger, right after I plug the USB cord, the LED Notification turn on in the red color, Sony logo appears again and then resets, but with another thing, after reseting the device enters in some kind of boot-loop and it simply don't stop. After I had all this headache, I tried to use both Sony Update Service and PC Companion in order to restore the "original" rom, with no success by using SUS, but with PC Companion, although, by holding the OFF button until it vibrates 3 times and then try to turn it on by pressing Vol-Up + Power Button with the charger plugged in, I managed to make it boot. The only problem is, if I take the Charger cord out, the device simply shut down, recreating the whole problem again...
My ZL is currently without BLU ( BootLoader Unlocker ) along with the original Rom installed directly from the PC Companion.
I'm worried because it looks like some hardware issue or a problem with some kind of file that assist the device in it's boot...
Besides me, is there anyone that had the same problem as mine and know how to fix this issue? Can any of you guys help me, please?
Thank you so much for the attention

I don't know if this is the same thing, but yes, I do see something like 13w18

Something similar happened to me, I fixed it by pressing the OFF button and let it go when the phone vibrated, by OFF button I mean the one that is under the cover with the sim and sd card

But you managed to make it work after only vibrating once? or after the three times?

So...After struggling with my phone for what now...5 days, now i'm having the same problem from a guy that I say these past days. While out of the Wall Charger, Sony logo appears but it doesn't boot. With wall charger, it boots, Android starts and everything works just fine, until you take it off from the charger, working for like...2 seconds, it turns off...
I think that I'm almost fixing it XD

Is anyone having the same problem as mine? Anyone who actually made it work? Please, share with us how? xD
P.S.: I'm still trying to figure it out, but help is greatly appreciated :laugh:

Anyone? D:

If flashing new rom can't help, I advise you to get a warranty. There is one guy here having that similar problem, he tried so many method to fix but to no avail. To save ur time just claim the warranty.
Ur problem seem to related with power source which related with battery.

I have a little problem...I bought my Xperia ZL in US territory, so technically I have US waranty but I live in brazil and the warranty will not be able to cover it.

sounds problem

hi I've been bought single xm last month..and now i'm facing for annoying problem which is my sound from speakers doesnt come out.. But if I plug earphone the sounds are come out.. I've been searching on Google but other ppl have same issue with no answer for this problem.. I really appreciate who give my answer for this problems..thx

It sounds like your handset is still detecting that the headphones are plugged in even when they are not. I used to have this problem with my Miro, all I had to do was reboot the phone and that would solve it until it happened again. I don't know the root cause of it so I can't help all that much.

sounds like a hardware problem, its only a month old get it back to sony centre for repair under warranty take any root if you have it off aswell before you take it also no unlocked bootloader as this voids the warranty
