Hey guys,
I seem to have this weird problem. If I connect headphones (with or without mic), sometimes the phone bugs out and starts randomly dialing the last called number or skipping audio tracks. I'm guessing that it is somehow getting the wrong idea that the headphones are sending it commands when they are not.
Noticed that when i plug in headphones without a mic, it shows an normal headphones no-mic icon. But when the random dialing starts, the icon now has a microphone.
Is my 3.5 jack busted, since this has happen with multiple headphones, or can it be due to the ROM (ViperX 4.1.1)?
This happened to my hox when it was only 3 days old. At that point it was fully stock, no root and locked bootloader. So it's not down to viperx. From what I can remember the only time it didn't happen when was when I had non sense roms installed so perhaps it's a sense bug. Apart from that I never found the real reason, but definitely not due to to viperx
This happened to me when I was using a case that wasn't allowing the headphones to plug in all the way.

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.

I think that will help.

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.

In fact they only show up now as a mic'd headset, after that delay..any ideas?
Fixed: flashed custom rom
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.
using ARHD 6.0.0
Anyone any idea?
thanks in advance!!!!
I am also having this issue. ARHD 6 with faux kernel.

Headphones are no longer being detected even after reset.
PLEASE does anyone have any tips or fixes? I don't want to have to send my otherwise perfect phone in to HTC

Well your both on arhd....try a factory reset if that doesn't work run a ruu. If neither work its likely hardware

Tried that, even tried different roms and kernels. Think it must be hardware.

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.
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.
Over the past several days I have encountered a serious problem whenever I try to use headphones with my Mi 6. When I have a headphone plugged into the audio USB dongle and attempt to play music, at the slightest vibration, tracks will start and stop playing, tracks will change, the volume will shift, and the microphone will activate. This has made it almost impossible to listen to music with the phone anymore. I have tested this with two headsets, which both cause the effect, though it does not happen if I do not have a headset plugged in. Because I have had this phone since soon after it was released, my guess is this problem was caused by a recent MIUI (I'm on 10 8.10.11 Beta) update. It kept occurring even after I installed Blackplayer and tried using that instead.
It sounds more like a hardware problem to me, dirty or loose connections

I tried cleaning everything as best as I could, but to no avail. Does anyone else have any experience with this problem, or is there a way I could disable the phone from accepting input from the USB port so that my headphones will be usable?
Hey anyone have any audio issues on this phone or possibly another MIUI device? Here's what I'm getting:
Usually, I plug in my headphones and right away I get great volume and my player auto-plays. But as it keeps playing the music pauses for a second and then resumes automatically. The headphones icon disappears in the notification area for that time when the music stops. I thought it may be Poweramp's issue but the same thing happens in the default MIUI Music app. (Playing MP3s from SD card - haven't tried streaming apps yet.)
If I unplug and replug the headphones from the audio jack, the same thing happens still. But after I unplug and replug a bunch of times, eventually the music suddenly starts playing at about half the volume it was initially, and the problem no longer occurs! To clarify, the volume is still set to 100% but the actual output volume is only half as loud as it was initially when the problem occurs.
There's no MIUI audio settings I can find that could be responsible for this.. Any ideas??
This happened to me too, the problem is in outdated headphones jack. Try a few other ones, the newer versions of the handsfree will fit accordingly.

Interesting. Just to clarify, you're saying that the device I'm plugging into my phone (headphones) is the problem, right? It would make sense why other speakers I've plugged in haven't had this issue.. I wonder why it'd be happening since I've never run into this issue with any other phone and I've had these headphones for many years now.

Yes the device is fault. When you plug in the jack, the headphone icon starts blinking right? it goes on and off and keeps on until you force it to play some song.. I had been using my favorite headphones for 1.5 years and i had to buy new ones when i bought this phone because they wont work properly.
