Hello,
my friend has issues with his HTC.
To shorten the story;
His headphones stopped working on his phone, its being recognized but they do not play sound.
He checked it with other headphones , works fine, also original headphones work fine too on PC and other phone.
But here's the catch, as the original ones are 4 pin, no other 4pin (aka with microphone) wont work.
Second, he cannot get to recovery mode, it just skips it with red triangle as it is maybe locked?
Thanks.
Update: it seems like software issue, cause he managed to get it playing via another player...
Any idea?

When I connect headphones or a cable between headphone connector and a sound system it seems the phone don't recognize it. If I try to start the FM-radio I got a message telling "Headphone required To listen to FM radio you must plug in headphones to the headphone jack."
If I start webradio or something else that plays music I get the sound from the built in speaker instead of the connected item.
If I restart the phone it works again but onlt for some time(a few hours) and I don't know what or when it fails again.
It feels like a software problem but I'm not sure at all.
Anyone that have a clue what I can do to get rid of this most irritating fault?
(The phone is equipped with rooted Froyo 2.2.2 Swedish version)
I was listening to FM-radio when making a call. Radio was muted and after I hang up the headphone connector stopped working again.
So it seems I'm the first one with this problem. To bad...
The problem persist. Should I return this phone or do anyone have any idea what to do about it?
Every time I get a call the headphone connector got disabled and only a reboot enables it again.
I believe you should return it. Especially if it's on the original firmware. That way you'd know for sure that it cannot be your fault.
If you already flashed something, try a full reset flash again (maybe some other rom) and reset again.
This looks very much like a software problem to me.
Just my 2 cents...

Do anyone think that at factory reset could solve the problem?
I have tried almost everything to fix this problem but i just can't.
When i connect my headphone (beats and normal Samsung one) to the phone and click on play or next/previous button, nothing happens. The phone wont recognize the buttons. 4 days ago everything worked perfectly. It just suddenly happened. I was on AOKP milestone 4.
When it happened the first time, 4 days ago, i thought it might be a problem in the ROM so i wiped everything and rebooted phone. Still the same. I then re flashed the ROM several times and it was still the same. So i just got angry and put phone away. Then after 14 hours or something i plugged headphone back in the phone and opened up poweramp. Then i hit play button on headphone and suddenly it worked. I was happy, but after 1 minute i hit pause button and phone wouldn't recognize it. I kept plugging and unplugging the headphone and after several tries it worked again for a minute or two, then it didn't. This made me think it is a software problem. But when i had headphone plugged in and let music play and unplugging the headphone, the music kept playing, with no sound (Music was playing when headphone was plugged in, but then i unplugged it, but music didn't stop like it usually does when u unplug the headphone). Now the speaker didn't work. After some minutes later it magically worked again.
Now i was wondering if it is a hardware problem. Another thing to mention is that when this happens(no sound after unplugging the headphone) the phone sensor in dialer wont work. When i make a phone call to someone, the phone sensor wont work, meaning, the phone wont go black when i lift it up to my ear. Also no sound from the front speaker. So i have to use headphone to call someone, until the phone speaker works again. Then the dialer sensor will work again.
I have tried about 3 ROMS and they are all the same. I have now flashed stock Google 4.0.4 and it's still the same. Now unrooted.
Please if you don't understand some parts of my problem, ask and i will try to answer in a better way.
Will take a video soon, hopefully it will be easier to see what problem i have.
Video 1: Here I have just rebooted the phone and opened music app to see if the button on headphone works. As you can see it works the first time i plug it in. But after that it doesn't work. You can also see that once i remove the headphone, while music is playing, the phone speaker wont work. !!! Something i forgot to show you... You can see that phone speaker wont work when i unplug the headphone, but when i click up and down volume button on the phone buttons, you can hear them. Its only the music/movie/dialer etc that doesn't work.
Video 2 : Here i am testing the beats headphone, just to show you that it isn't the Samsung headphones fault.
Video 3: Here i am showing you that the phone sensor wont work in dialer.
Video 4: This one is very strange. I have plugged in the headphone, but when i click volume buttons on phone, you can hear it from the back speaker. This shouldn't happen right? I mean when the headphone is plugged in, then all sounds should be coming from the headphone, not the phone speaker.
Bump. Any suggestions?
*For the last 2 days the buttons actually worked for several hours, but as soon as i take them out, they wont work for god knows how long...
Ok if no one knows anything, can someone give me some advice on what to say when I return the phone? I still have warranty but don't know if this will be covered by it. Also i have just flashed stock google 4.0.4 ROM, but is there anything else I should before returning the phone? Phone is bought from Netcom Norway.
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.
Sent as my GF gets angry at me for playing with my HTC One X....again.
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.
Hello,
When I boot my phone without my earbuds plugged in, the speakers of my phone are working fine. But I don't hear sound from my earbuds when they are plugged in.
When I boot my phone with my earbuds plugged in, my eadbuds are working fine. But when i take them out, my speakers aren't working. (both the speaker on the back and the speaker for calls)
I've searched google and this forum for solutions and both didnt work.
(I checked if my volumes were muted. but they were not.)
I'm using this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786696
Things I've tried:
- Wipe Dalvik cache and cache and update to the latest version.(08-11-12) Problem still exists
- Complete wipe of my data/cache/dalvik cache. flashed boot.img and installed rom again. Problem still exists.
- Different kinds of headsets. ALL of them give the same problem.
- Different kinds of apps for playing audio. All give the same problem. (Even the phone app)
Anyone got any ideas? I'm new to this so please be noob friendly.
Thanks
Forgot to mention: I use Hboot 0.43
Something is probably screwed up in system and I don't see it wiped from your list. Try factory resetting from cwm recovery AND format /system in cwm mounts and storage. Then flash cm10 nightly. Since none of the above will wipe boot partition, you may choose to not flashing boot. Img. However I would from your pc using
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then reboot.

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately this did not work. The same problem still persists. Could it be that my hboot version is causing the problem?
I'm using Hboot 0.43

Don't think so. But... Check your PM in 5
Did you try it with a different ROM to see if you have the same problem?
I tried installing another rom. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784185)
This has not changed anyting. I also found out that when someone calls me (When I have booted with eadbuds plugged in) I can hear the other person speaking through my earbuds. But when I put the call on speaker (Earbuds still plugged in) the sound does go over the speakers. But when I unplug my earbuds and try calling over the ear speaker I hear nothing.
I also forgot to mention that this problem occured randomly. I did not make any changes to my phone, or installed any new software/apps before it happened. From what I can remember I was listening to some music over my earbuds, and when I got called i plugged out my earbuds and tried to answer the call. From that moment the problem exists.
Also, when my earbuds are not plugged in (and i booted with them plugged in) and i plug them in, my music starts playing. When i dont have them plugged in, start playing music and plug them in my music stops playing. And when i'm listening to music over my earbuds and take them out my music won't stop playing like it's supposed to but it keeps on playing (even though i dont hear any sound from my speakers)
Try an ics rom please. Not a jb.
Tried installing an ICS rom. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601408) This unfortunately didn't fix it.

Try reversing what caused the issue?
Long shot but could work.
So by the sounds of it this would be.
Play music through speaker,
Call yourself.
Plug the headphones in and answer.
Then restart the phone or whatever and let us know?
Hope this works

Too bad didn't work. Also tried playing music through headphones,
call self
Plug out headphones and answer.
No sound :\
Okay it just got even weirder.. I found out that when i plug in my earbuds halfway, the phone opens the google thing where you can speak what you want to search.. When i plug them in normally it does'nt. And now when i dont listen to music over my earbuds and i change the phone volume, I hear the preview beep over both the speaker and my earbuds. I Really dont get what got into my phone
Bump, Still didnt fix it. When i boot with earphones plugged in, and take them out all sounds work, but music and phone calls only give sound over earphones. So this means nothing is physically broken. You guys got any more ideas? Installed Hboot 1.39 and Blade V4.0 rom. Didnt change anything

So I had something similar with my previous phone, Palm Pre; plugging in headphones caused intermittent speaker/headphone issues that was very inconsistent as well as triggering apps when half-in/out. In my case it was a physical issue, the jack had some pocket lint in it. I removed the fluff from a Q-tip, dipped the naked tip into isopropyl alcohol and cleaned out the jack. Other Pre users also mentioned that one of the contacts on the side-wall of inner part of the jack is "button like" in that it is pressed when the headphone pin enters the jack. When fluff builds up, the pin can force crap behind the contact and prevent it from being pressed properly.
Swabbing out the jack helped once or twice, but ultimately I gave up on using the headphones. Now that I'm jaded about it, I really wish the One X had a cover.
Thanks for the reply, but I dont think it's a physical issue, Since my ringtone still plays when i'm getting called (after booting with earbuds plugged in) and i can still call over the back speaker. Just not the front speaker. The issue is only there with media/music and calls. But how is it a software issue if updating my radio, changing my rom, and updating my hboot wont work

Bump, Anyone got any ideas? this is really annoying, having to reboot my phone every time i want to listen to some music and every time i want to make a phone call :\

Hello, I've just offered a Mi A2 Lite. At first speakers were working correctly, but now, for some reason, they doesn't work anymore.
The person who has it didn't do anything before that problem. I tried testing sound on others apps (YouTube, Chrome), deactivating/reactivating DND mode, rebooting the phone, searching for updates, called the phone (sound works correctly when coming out from the notch, but I can't hear anything with speakers), and tried hardware test with *#*#6484#*#*.
It's really annoying, as the phone arrived yesterday. Anyone knows a fix?
Thanks
Bump & Update: someone told me to try plugging & unplugging a headset multiple times, and I'm now aware that the phone doesn't detect headsets anymore. (Headsets were detected and worked yesterday, and are detected right now on another Mi phone)
