I recently replaced the screen on my GT-N7100 international model. I am getting a loud audio feedback or piercing noise coming out of external speaker instead of any normal sounds (boot up music, text / voicemail / email alerts, etc). I thought it was the charge flex cable because that connects the speaker to the logic board, but after switching it 3 different flex cables, no change. I tried switching speakers, no change. I have tried using original flex and speaker, no change. I tried a combination of new and original parts, no change. What could be causing the loud feedback sound that began after switching the screen? Everything else seems to work just fine. Could it be software issue?
why dont you try here

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.
Hello everyone,
I am trying to understand what is the key fault of my HTC Desire. I since have changed to a HTC One X, due the fact that my Desire has lost both full phone networking and sound capabilities. The rest of the device works like a charm, currently with Paranoid's Jelly Bean rom, even on heavy load.
The phone has gone through three accidental falls (bad luck serie), that required me to change the amoled screen only three times up to now. The original digitizer is still like new. After the last fall, it started to develop some sound issues before the two ones I expose here. It started with the music only in one of the headset speakers thing (by compressing the left part of the phone, I could get back music in both ears).
Rapidly, I discovered my Desire could no longer catch the phone network, and so could no longer be used for calls, SMS or mobile Internet.
Additionally, no sound comes out from anywhere : front speaker, back loud speaker, headphone. The microphone appears muted as well. The volume settings are all at maximum, including using a more complete audio manager app from the Market. Headset detection plug/unplug works fine.
So apart from the other functionalities that all work (screen, digitizer, vibrator, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, SDCard , Sim card (detected and activated), USB, heavy load from benchmarks and games, volume buttons, camera, etc...), the phone is rendered useless by not being able to catch phone networks and not produce any kind of sound.
I have replaced some parts of the phone since this issue has begun : the upper board with flex cable (that was tired) and the loud speaker (was tired as well). It has not solved these issues (it only solved appearing detection issues due to the tired flex cable and failing volume buttons).
I now use the Z-device test app to try to diagnose the issue. I am not sure I understand them, but they may give hints :
- He is detects the SIM card well and displays its information.
- He detects the phone as gsm type, but is unable to display the gsm cell id (blank space). He finds the device id (long number) and the software version (00).
- Data state is therefore set to disconnected.
- Multemedia chip is undetected (blank space)
- ALSA version is undetected (blank space)
- SCO for off-call use is set to true
- Microphone is set to muted
- Speaker phone and wired headset are, whatever happens, always set to false.
This is it. I haven't got further yet. I try to situate the possible hardware fault, since full wipe and reflash has not solved the issue. I only have those suspects :
- What is called the Wi-Fi cable, that is damaged (the thin cable can come out easily from one of it's metal end, while it is clipped properly).
- What is called the antenna cover (that looks like yet another plastic piece, with two metal pins on the left side), the cover being slighly cracked on the right side but still completely screwable.
- One of the motherboard's IC chips or component for an unknown reason.
The phone is in good state and works well now, aside of these two key features. It does not look like it has fallen down once, a shame. What is your opinion on this? Do you have ideas or suspicions?
I thank you by advance.

Probably. I doubt the isseu would come from the so called Wi-Fi cable as it may not both transport sound and act as an Antenna.
I therefore need to see if it is possible to replace the amplifier chipset. Might require precision soldering though.
Still idea concerning the gsm fault...

you would probably need hot-air to do that
This is a cross post from the thread I found on reddit, I take no credit for this find.
The problem for this person was "I purchased some Beyedynamic DT990 Pros (low impedance ersion; 32ohm) and there is some issue with the jack. It seems to trigger the button of me pressing the microphone button, with minimal movement. It either brings up voice command or just pauses the music, even if I just turn off the screen. If I try to increase the volume it also brings up the voice command sometimes.
Just moving the phone slowly causes the music to stop (if it doesnt already when turning the screen off.
Anyone have any solutions to this? These are good headphones, they work with my pc perfectly. I will test with my ipod aswell.
I was thinking of getting a female to male jack just to see if a different connector works. But these are audiophile headphones so the quality isn't really questionable."
and the solution was
"Download the app SoundAbout. It lets you force your phone to detect the headphones correctly. My G3 was doing the exact same thing and ever since I downloaded SoundAbout around a week or so ago everything has been working fine." "What I do is put the headphones into the jack, but not all the way until it clicks in. Just put it in enough to where the phone senses them. If the phone senses them as a headset, remove the headphones (not necessary to take them completely out, just off of the sensor inside the headphone jack) and try again. Once it detects them as regular headphones you can click them in like normal."
Sorry for the poor formatting, and unable to link the reddit thread because my account lacks posts but I found this extremely helpful and hope everyone with this issue does too.

Thread is LG G3 can't deal with proper headphones-
Another method from goldswimmerbj
"I have seen that many people are having issues with the phone picking up headphones as headsets and pausing music on it's own and also causing LG voice to pop up. This issue is caused by the phone picking up headphones incorrectly.
Put the headphones in slowly until you hear 2 faint beeps. Once you hear those just continue plugging in the headphones."
Hope this solves your problems with the LG G3,
My LG G3 has a different problem I guess
Thanks for the info OP.
Mine has headset issue, but only during phone calls.
When I play music, I have no problem at all, during the phone calls, this is where the issue comes. the sound is bad, just like the phone is in a really bad reception area, however, when I unplug the headset, use the phone itself, there is no problem at all, same for the speaker.
i tried with different headset, all same result. I tried the options in the thread above, same. also, my phone detect the headsets ok, once the headset is plugged, the phone has the headset icon appeared
my phone is LG G3, 32G, Canadian Bell version.
any help would be much appreciated
Hi, only recently, when i plug-in my headphones, the audio comes out with lots of hisses, cracks and glitched sounds.
Every sound generated by the phone (ring tone, phone call, mp3, notifications) is accompained by random noises.
This happened only recently and I cannot figure out what the cause can be. Headphones are the same as always.
The problem doesn't occur when playing sounds trough the built-in speaker.
I tried to install different roms and revert back to stock, but the problem persist.
I guess now this will be a hardware issue?
Try googling it its one of the most common lg g3 problems temp fixes include restarts factory resets and if im not mistaken a diffrent kinda headphone with a slighlty differ plug its most def in the hardware
It's a problem with low impedance headphones. What worked for me was editing the mixer_paths.xml.

Over the past week I have had a few issues with audio apps on my phone - Google Music, Audioboom, Soundcloud etc.
When my headphones are plugged in and audio is playing, tracks randomly pause or skip to the next one in the queue, and sometimes the volume starts changing by itself. I am also getting frequent reboots when playing audio with headphones as well.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue with the Mi Max? I am on the latest XenonHD rom. Could be faulty headphones perhaps?
Thanks in advance for any advice on this one
Have you recently replaced screen or just opened rear battery cover?
Had same symptoms, volume up-down, viper on-off, tracks pausing and so on.
My problem was: replaced recently screen with frame. Appeared that the frame was not 100% match, earphone jack was in the phone under pressure. Had to open the battery cover for about half a millimeter, stucked in a piece of platic.
Everything works now.
Ordered new frame.

I haven't changed the screen or anything...
I'm hoping the issue lies with my headphones (as they are not too expensive) or some software issue I can fix by flashing the rom again - a hardware issue like you had may be more difficult to solve!
I'll try some other headphones, and if that fails I may just reflash the rom. If that fails it will seem to indicate a hardware problem....

It turns out it was my headphones - bought another pair and everything is back to normal!
