[Q] Problem with my Samsung earphones - Audio redirects itself? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

So I just got a new pair of Samsung earphones with a mic from Amazon. My rom is Beanstalk-4.4.2_r1-v205 and kernel is 3.0 1-1-UBER-4.1. When I fire up apollo and play music, the earphones work fine. However, when I press the button to go to the home screen, the audio redirects itself to the phones speaker. I tried playing my music from the Apollo widget on the home screen and it works fine, BUT when I go to a different app (like SMS), the music redirects itself from my earphones to the phone's speaker.
Any ideas on what the problem is? Did I receive a pair of faulty earphones?

I don't think it's the headphones. The problem is activated by a change in the software's operation, so it must be software related. As for answers, have none. Sorry ?

Well, interestingly enough, I tried other earphones and they seem to work when I exit to the home screen. Audio still go to earphones on non-Samsung earphones. Also, when I did use my Samsung ones, I could switch apps via task manager and audio would NOT redirect to the speaker. It only happens when I go to the home screen.
I'm going to try to do a clean re-install of my current ROM and Kernel and see what happens. Maybe that's the problem.

Strange… ?

I solved it!
Okay, so after playing around with wiping my device, reinstalling my ROM, cleaning up cache, updating GApps, etc, I finally solved my problem!
It turns out that the launcher I was using on Beanstalk, the Google one, was the one causing the problem. I switched my home launcher to Nova, and -voila- my music stays intact when going to the home screen! I don't exactly know why it is so, but thankfully my new earphones are working with my device and ROM. I was afraid that I couldn't use Beanstalk or my headphones anymore.

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.

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.

[Q] No sound from earpiece, but speaker and headset work fine...

My wife's Nexus started to act up here this morning... When she tries to make calls, the following condition exists:
1. No sound from earpiece.
2. Remote callee hears no sound from the microphone.
However, when she activates speakerphone, she can hear the remote party and the internal microphone turns back on.
When she uses a wired headset, she can hear the remote party and the headset's microphone picks up audio and properly disables the internal microphone.
I've wiped Dalvik/cache. No dice. Any ideas?
Update: Also, the Music player -- when played without any headphones attached -- has no sound, not even via the speaker.
Update: Re-flashing the ROM did not help. WTF is wrong with this phone?
Update: Tried an entirely different ROM this time.. same issue.
ALSO... using the Music player (or Winamp) will NOT playback any media through the speaker.
Update: Problem disappeared literally overnight!
But now it's happening with the haptic feedback... The vibration works when the phone is powered on, and when the power button is pressed, but not for anything else. The correct checkboxes are selected in Settings/Sound.
What the eff is going on with this phone?

[Q] Headphones detection fail

Since yesterday, my phone fails to detect my headphones as i plug them in. The only time when detection works is if they are plugged in and i do a reset. but as soon as i plug them out, the phone fails to detect them when plugged in agail.

Anyone any idea?

I downloaded an widget called toggle headset from the play store which has given me a work around for this issue. I click the widget and it forces audio to my headset. Really weird as the phone doesn't recognise the headset in the normal manner.
Definite software issue IMO rather than hardware as sound is appearing through the headset when using this widget.

stock HOX deadphone detection fail
Hello.
As of yesterday, I too encountered this issue. However unlike the others reporting the issue, my device is running stock, in-fact I only got it back from repair for the WiFi issue a couple weeks ago.
I've downloaded two widgets as a temporary solution. For me "Toggle Headset 2" did not work, while "Wired Headset Routing Toggle" did. (Note: This doesn't force the notification tray icon, but the the sound it still routed via the headphones while switched on.)
Of-course this is not an ideal fix, but at least it is a workaround for now. I just hope there is a proper software fix for it, as I really don't want to send it off for repair again.
I had a similar issue where i was plugging in my headphones and all was ok until i put the phone in my pocket and started to walk, the music would stop and the headphone symbol would disappear, crazy as it seems, i blew down the headphone jack socket and i havent had any issues since, must have been a bit of crap stuck there lol!!!!
I'm having the same problem. Headphones are not detected and Toggle Headset 2 fixes the problem but only partially. Since Sense doesn't know when headphones are plugged in, the Beats sound enhancer never becomes available and (most importantly) neither does FM radio.
I guess I'm sending the phone for repair... I could ask for a replacement but getting a HOX is a lottery so who knows if another phone would have 3 other issue this one doesn't.
Ok, so I'm having the exact same problem as danderzethm, JimmyEatFood and xdn, and I have 2 small questions.
Is this an hardware issue or a software issue?
If it's an hardware issue is the warranty still valid even tho it's rooted?
I've tried several diffent roms and tried to factory reset the phone but to no success, now I have to use a widget called ToggleHeadset to get it to work, but I find it very annoying to turn it on and off all the time.

[Q] [Xperia S] CM10 earphone problem

Hello.
I just updated my Xperia S from CM9 to CM10, and it's great!
But I have this one problem which ruins the whole experience for me. Whenever I plug in my headphones (I use the new Apple Earpods) the sound still goes through the speaker. The only way to get the sound through the earphones is holding the play button when I plug it in, but then the music pauses after 1 second, and when I press play it just goes through the speaker again.
I tried using the 'audio_policy.conf' from the CM10 thread, and I set the permissions correctly, but it didn't work. Is there any way to fix this? Because now I can't listen to my music.
Thanks

I noticed this too, I think it's because Apple earphones need proprietary Sony drivers to work and FXP can't use these as they're proprietary.
I was just thinking, is it possible to copy the lib (or whatever file) that makes the headphones work on stock to CM9? I know it won't work with CM10, but it should work with 9. I want to try, but I have no idea which file I should use.

Can anybody check if the problem persists while using the Default sony Earplugs which came out of the box with L26i Xperia S?

I have my Apple earpods working on CM10 All you have to do is download 'SoundAbout' from the Play Store. Open the app and change the 'Media audio...' option to 'Wired Headphones'. The only downside is that you have to change this option everytime you want to use the speaker, but at least the headphones are working

By the way, when using SoundAbout, what happen to the notification sound? Do they still come to the speaker?

All the sounds come from the earphones, even when you plug them out. But the app has a widget which you can press to change it back to the speakers

Headphone not detected?

Weird thing started happening to my phone: when I plug in a pair of headphones (with or without mic) the phone does not detect that they are plugged in! Sound always comes out of the speakers. I've used apps like SoundAbout to force sound of the headset jack and it seems to do the trick. But as you know, this just spoofs the phone... it still thinks it's using the speakers so you'll lose mic capabilities.
The odd thing is that if I turn off my phone, plug in a pair of headphones, and then continue to turn my phone back on... once booted the phone will recognize that it has a pair of headphones plugged in and everything will be fine. Won't work when I unplug and try to replug. It only detects the headphones on boot.
1) Is there a solution to this?
2) Anyone know how the mechanics of this works? It seems like on boot it always tries to check if there are headphones... but something mechanical in the headphone jack triggers the check after boot (may mean I have a mechanical failure)?
3) Is there a way to force headphone mode, more so than what Soundabout does? It's a pain to lose the mic, I use it a lot.
Here are other pertinents:
- Running newest SkyDragon Lollipop GPE rom with Sense Firmware... don't think it's the rom because it worked just last week
- Only recently started happening, not sure what could have caused it
- Noticed the phone always tries to update HTC Service pack, I think I fixed that issue
- Have yet to try cleaning, need to get rubbing alcohol
Thanks for any help anyone can provide me.

I was experiencing the same problem and I know it is not the hardware since I was able to go back to 4.4.4. GPE and get music thru the headset like you. I tried to get an answer from other contributors but they think it is the jack. Anyway below is what I've wrote to get help.

Thank you for the feedback on personal data. (I appreciated it)
So I've did a factory reset and start flashing the "Stock Google Play Edition Rom LXR22C.H5" rom again.
Since I'm Rooted, this is the one I've flash: RUU-HTC_One_M8_GPE_5.0.1-3.11.1700.5_rooted
I've followed the instruction on #2031. Everything else work.... again only plugging in the headset into the jack, does switch music from speakers to headset.
As mentioned before I've upgrade my Stock AT&T HTC One (M8) to GPE 4.4.2 and automatically received all the updates OTA to get to 4.4.4 (Audio was working thru headset and/or speakers with no problems)
The only problem with 4.4.4 is that you don't have access to SD storage. (though I found a patch to update in the system, but haven't tried it)
I like the speed, simplicity of 5.0.1. That is why I keep on trying.
Also I tried changing the Kernel - using skydragon kernel (still same problem with audio). But when I used the kernel for 4.4.4 of GPE, the booting hung at HTC logo before it showed the dead android.
So I'm lost for option other than using an app to manual switch to headset from speaker....(bummer)
Anyway new ideas to proceed are appreciated.

Yeah that makes no sense why it would be hardware since you reverted back to 4.4.4 and it worked again.
The other reason why I don't think it's completely hardware is that, as I mentioned before, if you turn off the phone and then leave headphones plugged in while booting up the phone will recognize them. However, unplugging after boot will permanently lose headphone detection until you leave headphones plugged in during a fresh boot.
I'm thinking that either the software is not calling IsHeadphonePluggedIn (hypothetical) when the hardware is triggered (headphone plugged in), but always calls IsHeadphonePluggedIn when the phone boots. OR, the hardware trigger that tells the phone to call IsHeadphonePluggedIn is truly broken leaving cold boot the only method to detect headphones.
Maybe I'll try downgrading at some point but the weird thing is that I swore this was working without any major ROM updates... like just last week! For the time being, I'm using bluetooth.

Not sure if you've ever used Tasker but you should download that. They have a trigger for "headphone plugged in," and I'd be curious to see if it triggered when you plug in your headphones. You could just have it play a sound or something when it senses headphones. If that works, then it's whatever service handles that hardware interrupt, not the interrupt itself.

Yes, I have and use Tasker. In fact, I have a Profile for headphone or bluetooth headset detection. This is how I know the phone is definitively detecting my headphones on boot—the designated Tasker action triggers and I get the Profile highlighted as active.
When I unplug the headphones, Tasker responds accordingly and runs the exist task and the profile is no longer highlighted. When I try to replug, Tasker doesn't do anything. Headphones not detected.
Another tidbit I've discovered:
- Safe mode doesn't help with headphone detection. In fact, there is none even after cold boots. Tried safe mode to isolate any 3rd party apps that might be causing issues.
- To clarify about reboots. The phone needs to be shutdown completely and turned on while the headphones are plugged in to detect. Issuing a reboot via APM doesn't really work, I don't think.
Straaaange.

I'm checking in again to see if anyone solved the headphone detection issue with 5.0.1. As you mentioned about powering down the phone (and not reboot) does detect the headphone, but after you unplug the headphone it revert back to the speakers. No change when you reinsert the jack for the headphone. I've tried all custom roms that uses 5.0.1 and none works with the headphone. Right now I'm still running GPE 4.4.4 on my AT&T One M8. I really like the features of 5.0.1 but not interested in a dual approach to listen to music in my headphone. Let me know if anyone find a new technique that will work with our M8. (I don't think anyone have been able to get the AT&T version of M8 to work with the headphone on 5.0.1.....If I'm wrong please share......)

I did come across a solution, but it may be unique to me. It's entirely hardware related. Just inside the headphone jack, there is a small connector. I used a pin to pry it out slightly. After doing this, plugging headphones in works like normal. That outer most pin must be the trigger that tells the phone to check if there is a headphone connected.
However, as I mentioned, even without this pin being activated I can still get the phone to detect the headphone buy just cold starting the phone. It may be a difference in how 4.4.4 and 5.0.1 uses the hardware on the phone. I have no clue, it's annoying nonetheless.
So give that a shot!

Interesting.....Did you open your M8 to pry the pin? I tried looking inside the jack but can't see any pin. Plus I looked at the disassembly video on you-tude for the M8 and said, no way (smile). So I'm willing to try but I can't see the pin you're talking about. Is there a diagram you can point me too? Or provide more information. Very much appreciated...

Haha no way I'd open the phone. If you look into the headphone jack with the screen facing up, the pin should be near the 1'o'clock position. It's hard to see so use a flashlight or something. It's very close to the opening, 2-3mm deep only.
Maybe you need to change the whole headphone jack. There's a DIY video on youtube for it. Just give it a try if there isn't any other solution.

Well I've reinstalled 5.0.1 and tried digging into the jack, trying to move the 1pm pin just a few centimeters....well I finally gave up. I was not able to make it work and I got concerned that I would damage the jack, which will cost me a fortune in repair bills. (smile)
Thank you for recommendation....I guess I will use the soundabout app until AT&T release the one for our M8.

Can you explain in more detail when you say "wipe the data".....Are you referring, go into recovery and do a data wipe? or go into an app (which app) and clear the cache or something?
If you can give me the step by step procedures I would appreciate it.
Also did you try this on a "AT&T HTC One M8" versus a HTC One M8? because I'm beginning to notice that there is a very slight difference between the two.
Thanks,

Thanks for the advise....
Geee.......I've been using these Klipsch headphones for all my mobile phones and it has been working on 4.2 to 4.4.4. Once I've upgraded the rom to 5.0.1 audio stop going through the klipsch headphone. Going back to 4.4.4 (lucky I made a Nand backup) it started working again. So I tried several different methods from several people and nothing worked.
Since I tried, what you said, resetting the phone....and of course it still didn't work with the Klipsch headphone.
dah....are you seeing the pattern. Finally the light came on and I decided at the last minute, before restoring 4.4.4 rom, was to find my old Bose headphones and try it.....Wow. It worked but I had to try plugging it in and out to see if it continued working.....AND...yes it continue to play music through the Bose headphone. (tried the Klipsch again and had the same old - not working)
The only difference between the Bose and the Klipsch is that the Klipsch has three rings on the jack. The third one is used to control the player....i.e. skip/stop/pause. The Bose has only two rings on the jack....(just music input)
For others that are experiencing the "No Music thru the headphones" when you install 5.0......check the jack for two vs three rings.
Thanks again for the insight.... (problem solved - closed case)

If you do want to use your klipsch headphones, however, you can just use a standard 3.5mm extension cord in the middle. I've used this trick in the past with an old Nokia and my htc earphones
