Hi Guys,
I just repaired my tornado, but I broke off my jack plug. I repaired it, but now the phone thinks there's a headphone plugged in (while it's not). Is there a way to force WM to play sound over the speakers instead of the jack connection?
I'm sure the speaker works (when I call myself with a landline, the ringtone goes over the speaker).

why don't you completely remove the jack plug? since you already broke it, I don't see a reason to keep it inside the phone. maybe this fixes the phone's mind.
I just did that. Without the jack plug, the problem is still the same.
I think this is very strange, because there is totally no possibility that the phone can recognize there's an headset plugged in. Maybe the plug has a little switch in it?

If you plug in a headset in the PDA, the microphone underneath the PDA is automaticly turned off (because it assumes you have a microphone on the headset).
Is it possible to prevent this?
If i use my own head-phones without mic, i have to unplug it if the phone rings, else i can talk!
Does anyone know?
GeeZuZz,
I use an fm radio cigarette adapter to play my music through my car stereo and when my phone rings I only have to answer it and my mike does not cut out, the caller can hear me fine and I hear them through the car speakers so I know this doesnt totally answer your question but using the headphone out on mine does not cut out the mike.

Hmm... if i answere the phone with the headset plugged in, they can't hear me. But if i disconnect it, and put it slowly in, they can hear me... in other words, theres a software restriction.
Any way to override this? I'll probably never use a headset anyway (the bundled one was crap).
GeeZuZz,
It is a hardware issue. If you look at your headset's plug, you will notice that it is divided into 4 bands.
1. earth(common)
2. Right earpiece
3. left earpiece
4. mic
When inserted into the socket, the bands actually physically cut signals to the speakers and mic in the device (more like a switch).
Because your headphones stll have the same 3.5mm shape, it will also cut signal to the devices on your pda and transfers the signals to your headphones that has only 3 bands (none for mic obviously).
from my experience, i think its up to the jack that you plugged in to the device, if the jack is a stereo (has 3 black rings), the device will think that a mic is present, thus automatically disabling it. but if the jack is mono (2 ring) the mic will still be enable.
Three black rings(4 bands) mean stereo phones + mono mic. Two Black rings( 3 bands) mean stereo phones only.
Hmm... are there any way i can modify the jack, so that it will not disconnect the mic? Like putting some plastic on the piece of the jack where the mic is supposed to make the connection?
Ok here's the story.
My Prophet is, well, an elderly.
I think it's like 5 year old.
I already had to replace touchscreen, battery and the rear speaker.
Anyway my problem now is that I don't have any sound.
Only when I recieve a call or text message I get a ringtone or notification.
Windows media player does not give sound, screen taps etc neither.
Only ringtones give sounds, through rear speaker.
Also when I get a call the earphone speakers doesn't work, the microphone does.
My earphone jack works perfectly so it isn't the audio chip that's broke.
So what i was thinking is that my phone thinks it's using an headset and redirects al sounds to my earphone jack. Only using the rear speaker for ringtones. (so maybe someone could confirm that the ringtone still rings when using an headset)
So does anybody know what the problem is or just help me on the way?
Regard, Paul
I doubt it's 5 years old! Maybe 2?...
Anyway, this is a common issue, the headphone jack is not 'releasing' the sound back to the speaker due to short / stuck connector switch. Blow down it or wiggle the plug.

ok, i was right about the headphone jack making the phone think that it was using headphones when it didn't.
I opened my phone and also opened the casing for the jackplug. I saw that a piecie op copper was bent to far and that it was causing to cancel a circuit wich made the phone think it was unsing no headphones.
When you plug in the headphones, the plug pushes away this copper piece and stops sound.
My solution was to bend the piece back so it makes contact again when the headphones are not plugged in.
Thank you for your advice, it's working great again.
I have been researching online about using car aux-in cable for making phone calls.
I heard that some phones work and some do not. In those cases, when it doesn't work, it means that the person in the phone cannot hear what you say, because by default the mic is muted when something is plugged in to the jack.
With HTC Sensation, does this happen? Is the phone mic muted when a headset/aux cable is plugged in to the phone? If yes, is there any workaround? What is the general solution to make phone calls via aux cable?
I heard that some people might use the griffin cable with mic, but since my aux port is located where the shifter is, I am not sure how the quality would be. Any idea?
Thanks

well, i hope this answers ur question
i have made calls/received calls via aux (when im listening to music in da car n get a phone call i dont uplug it, just answer)
i talk thru the mic normally and i hear the other person from tha car speakers.
so i guess the mic is not muted
From previous experience - though not with Sensation, as I'm all blue-tooth now, the following was true
If you plug in a normal 3.5mm TRS jack (stereo headphone / line-in / etc) the phone detects it as headphones and not headset, so the device realised there was no "in-line" mic, and used the phone's microphone itself.
A better option (which I did) was to fashion my own lead - using another HTC headset, but removing the two earphones, and soldering the cables to an in-line socket. This worked well, because I had a microphone clipped to me, with remote control for music (don't want to touch the phone when driving now, do we!!) and the stereo audio feed back to the car speakers. Cost me about £3 in total, including the second headset.
I would imagine this to be the same for the Sensation too, as all these sockets have various detection mechanisms, to make the right things happen, depending on what you connect.
Good luck, and safe driving!
When I have a headphone plugged in, I can hear the songs, however the volume randomly fluctuates between quiet and loud on the left side. However after testing the pair of Sony Piiq's I own, I have come to the conclusion that the headphones perform perfectly fine. Thus leaving the phone as an issue. I was wondering if this was a software or hardware problem. If so is there an easy way to replace the audio jack?
Hardware issue. I have the same problem. The input jack where you would plug in a 3.5mm headphone cable tends to make the sound go quiet when the cord is pushed one direction. Quite annoying at times if the cord gets pushed alot. When I say cord i mean the male end of the cable that you physically plug in. For some Roms, I think mostly HTC. This problem with the input jack will cause the phone to think its using voice command it will trigger that or it will call and hang up on the last call you had. Weird huh. I've noticed this for some time now and I just got use to it. If your phone is under warranty, have it sent back and get it fixed from the manufacturer.
Hi.
I have problem with my mini jack.
When i turn on my phone sound with my speaker work good.
But when i plug headphones and unplug my phone show connected headphones and speaker dont work and i cant call without headphones. :/
