I always see the headphones icon - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Went out yesterday and someone spilled water on my G3. I didn't dry it off properly and put it on charge. It got very hot, but everything is working. The only thing is LG G3 always shows the auxillary headphone icon, even when no headphones are in.
Headphones play fine, as does the internal speaker, it's just LG G3 thinks headphones are always plugged in now
What can I do? Is there an application to toggle this? Is there a way of hiding the icon?
Thanks

I installed AudioTogggle and this seems to be doing a good job without any need to root the device.

[Q] Headphones jack problem, help me guys

So, here's the deal, my headphone jack isn't working "properly" anymore.
I unlocked, rooted and installed the Google Play Edition, because, well because I wanted to.
Then I realized that my headphone jack wasn't working properly. Let me explain. While speakers works alright, when I plug headphones (that works on every other device à used them with) my One recognize headphones have been plugged in, but the sound is VERY VERY VERY low. In a completely silent room, I can barely hear it.
I thought it maybe was a software problem, so I restored my stock Sense rom, but the problem persists...
What are your thoughts?
Thanks in advance guys

Weird it's the icon that appears and points out that a headphone is connected, as boomsound (icon on the left of headphone icon) is enabled as well.
So somehow your phone or better the software get's a signal that a headset is connected, even if it isn't. Could be some problem with the 3'' socket, but as well with the ROM that you are running.
So we have to dig a little bit deeper. To have a start which FW and ROM are you using?
I had this and installed some app for manually switching it on and off... Anyway, after trying it, it started working fine, so I uninstalled the app and no problems since.
Also, check your headphone socket for crap, insert headphones and remove a few times with gravity on your side.

[Q] Soundabout app issues.

Hello everyone !
My M8 went mad today. It recognizes all headphones/earphones except the stock one that came with the device. The stock one works perfectly fine with all the devices except my M8. That sounds really strange, but it did happen.
I googled some forums and found that soundabout app on the play store could solve this issue by routing the audio to headphone jack. It worked.
I was tinkering with the settings of the app. I routed the audio to the earpiece(top speaker) only.
I'm somewhat skeptical that the top speaker now has less volume compared to the bottom one, when playing music/videos.
Does this mean that I have a partly damaged speaker ?
Also, can tinkering the settings damage the hardware(speakers) in any case ?
Thank you for reading.

I think that the earpiece speaker is actually less powerful than the bottom speaker. I use SoundAbout myself as I have an issue with one of my friends old stereo's. The phone doesn't recognize that I have plugged in the aux cable but it only happens with that stereo. So I have to use the SoundAbout app to change the setting to Wired Headphones.
I'm not sure if tinkering setting can damage the speakers, but I have damaged the bottom speaker myself by flashing one of the first CM12 nightly's that came out. The speaker is quite easy to replace yourself and same goes for the earpiece.
Hello,
I have nexus 5 with stock 5.1.1 not rooted.
I started to use soundabout because my phone didn’t recognize AUX-IN from my car audio.
Everything was ok for long time till yesterday.
Now, after I will use soundabout I can’t hear any call conversation. I need to restart nexus.
I am wonder If someone know some similar program that I can test.

Sounds like you've got a busted device mate. If it's still under warranty maybe you could return it and say the headphone port stopped working.

Headset mic stopped working/barley working. Software issue.

Hello everyone,
My LG G3 is giving me a hard time, when I connect a headset, its microphone isn't working or it does but it's barley audible compared to the device's own mic.
The headphones part is working as usual and when the headset is connected sounds goes only through them like it should.
I've started using this headset a few days ago and it worked like a charm but then it's suddenly stopped working like it had been.
Fortunately I have another LG G3 on hand, so first I checked the headset with it and it works perfect.
So then I've replaced the 3.5 audio jack from the other G3 into my own to figure out if it is causing the problem and it is NOT,
since I got no improvement in my own phone and I also put MY jack in the other G3 and it worked there flawlessly with two different headsets.
I've been trying to record into / monitor with two different apps (lg audio recorder and another another one).
I've killed all apps running in the background. I've restarted numerous times, ran CCleaner to clear cache memories and whatever.
At one point a few days ago, maybe it was just before it started (and this might be a clue) the "plugged device" icon or "headset" icon on the notification bar stayed even after I've disconnected the headset and I think I needed to restart the phone but if i'm not wrong the headset kept working after that.
I was trying to find any kind of audio service to restart or anything like that but I didn't find any, I just killed them all to see if it helps.
I've also tried using "soundabout" app to try to force the audio path to the headset and played with some settings but to no avail (I disabled soundabout service after that attempt).
Right now I see no other option but a hard reset and I'm pretty sure it will solve the issue. but I hate going through backing up and restoring everything. and even so, who said this issue won't happen again? I've tried to search for an answer but found nothing like my problem on the web.
I just read something old from 2013 that mentions a bug in android audio. not sure it's related. something about "AudioPolicyMangerBase" (it seems I can't post links yet) from an app that had a switch to switch between headset mode or phone mode. but in any case it's no longer maintained. again, not sure it's related.
Update: Now I got no sound with two different headsets on the SECOND LG G3 as well. it seems messing with it around, plugging and unplugging messes with it's software somehow and maybe it locks the audio route in a way that it's can't work.
Any way to reset all audio ins/outs routes in the device?
I'll appreciate your help. Thanks a lot!
Roy.
