Headphone Icon always showing/fix? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hi, so I bricked my phone yesterday due to the gingerbread update. T-mobile sent me a new one overnight. This phone though will not work through the headset! It displays the headphone icon and only works with headphones in, it won't go away.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

3.5mm output requires reboot to work again

Sometimes I get to use my 3.5mm output either with headphones or my stereo and it works fine. Then later in the day it will not output through the jack, only the speakerphone. I have to reboot the phone (soft or hard) to get it working again. I haven't seen a pattern leading up to this.
bump, is anybody else experiencing this?
sounds like a linux bug
email google support

I have experienceed this on two occasions as well. I hope it is something that can be easily remedied.
I told HTC about this issue while returning my Nexus One for a faulty power button. I'll report back if they leave me any information on it's return.
I am having this issue as well
i have had the issue, rebooting did not help but it started to work again after a week or 2... lol i don t remember
Update: so I had the phone warrantied for a faulty power button a couple of months ago and when I got the phone back (didn't do an exchange) I had a new IMEI number and the headphone jack worked perfectly, until last week. The headphone jack (3.5mm) stopped working. I have done hard resets and the jack still won't work so I am getting an exchange, arriving today.
New phone works good. Tried the old phone one more time after a hard reset and still nothing.

I had this yesterday - thought I was going crzy.
Couldn't see how to fix this - so I reflashed the rom from my Nandroid backup - and its all working just fine now

My gf's N1 is doing the exact same thing. She said it started maybe two weeks ago. She has had the phone since July. Has anyone found a resolution for this? She restarts the phone but that obviously can become a nuisance after while.
Do you not read? It's a short thread. "had the phone warrantied" Your girlfriend must be impressed with your resourcefulness.
I had the same problem... except mine was in reverse. My phone thought it was always in headset mode (like a headset was plugged in).
It wouldn't output any sound unless I turned the speaker on. I could remedy the problem by playing a song and playing with the headphone jack, barely making contact with the ports internals until it played through the normal speaker.
This would work until I rebooted, which then it would think the headset is plugged in again. So basically the jack was flaky.
I had some dust under my bottom left screen too, but they did a warranty exchange and the new one is working perfectly.

Car dock audio problem with Froyo 2.2

I just recently popped my phone's cherry and unlocked the bootloader so that I could get Froyo on my AT&T Nexus One. Before the update I had setup my phone to plug into a car dock with a headphone out to auxiliary jack to my car speakers.
The volume was consistently good to my car stereo when unplugged from the dock and when plugged in before the update. Now, immediately after I plug in my phone to the dock with the headphone jack pushing media audio my volume is reduced by 10-20%. I have disabled the dock managing my media audio, put everything to max volume on phone, and it still reduces the audio as soon as I plug it into the dock.
Does anyone else have a similar setup? I realize mine may be unique and I'm on my own. Are there any deeper phone settings to check beyond the standard volume controls?
Yeah I have the same problem. And my phone doesn't pick up my voice with voice commands and auto brightness doesn't work with the phone in the dock. Makes me wanna go back to Eclair...
Still have not resolved this by any means available. Maybe the official ROM will fix this issue. Also my paid apps still have not shown up and I am noticing that when I pick up inbound calls people cannot hear me for a few seconds.
I was hoping by this point in June that the official Froyo for N1 would have been released and there would be a ROM floating around but no such luck!
I've had a similar problem when my phone is docked with the car dock. In-call volume is extremely low, but other types of media are fine (i.e. music, navi, etc). My volume settings are maxed out too. I hope the official Froyo release fixes this problem. I use my car dock on a daily basis.
Looks like frf83 did not fix it. Car dock is useless for me. Seeing comments frome google that indicate they optimized for the cheesy built in speakers and hosed using the headphone jack while docked.
Pandora during the commute keeps me sane, and this ruins it. No froyo for me until this is fixed.
What I've discovered is when I car dock the phone media volume gets set to 12 out of 15 on the headphone jack. The volume setting GUI doesn't show that the volume has changed. Changing the media volume in settings doesn't affect the volume until I undock the phone.
Unfortunately for me that's too much output for my car stereo and music gets pretty distorted.
I downgraded to OTA ERD79 and the volume would remain the same when docked. I upgraded to the latest OTA and the max volume setting returned.
Having the same problem. At least I found this problem is due to Froyo, not my car dock.
Still, wished the USB port is still open while docked so I can bypass the Car Dock's circuits and just use it as a holder only.
Haven't rooted my phone yet, but if the devs can fix the issue on a custom ROM, I will root.
i used to have this set up where my phone was hardwired to the radio and after froyo i have noticed this problem too. I have now gone back to using a bluetooth connection (kensington liquidaux) and it seems to not have the problem.
for those following the other thread regarding the degradation of quality not just the low volume (double sucky). the bluetooth connection seems to not suffer the same fate.

You're referring using Bluetooth vs AUX for the dock and car to communicate? I'm guessing most of us don't have that option on our cars.
Check out the Kensington Liquidaux. It is an aftermarket Bluetooth solution that lets you use any AUX connection.

Seems like an overkill for $80, especially when I don't need any part of the mount.

The one I got was $29. (Edit: I looked all over and can't find it at this price anymore...shoulda bought two!) It just included the cigarette lighter part and a steering wheel remote.

I have been waiting for a solution and still have not found one. I installed the latest Cynogen V6.0.0-RC1 and when reconfiguring for my dock I got full sound! I was greatly excited! Then... it dropped back down to its normal volume.
I need to figure out a way to disable the phone recognizing the dock entirely since I only use the dock for keeping it stable on my windshield and charging. Anyone have ideas?

I don't think the dots would pass through the charge if the phone completely stops recognizing the dock. This problem didn't start until Froyo, I'm pretty sure there'll be a fix for it.
I have the same problem. So much time has gone by since they released the car dock, first it was fine but after froyo the audio settings could not be saves anymore and the volume got much quieter.
No word from Google... nothing, no answer, no patch.
I'm really pissed, the car dock is almost unusable, except you go to audio settings every time you dock the phone and recheck the settings... :-(
there are already some people who reported the problem on the issue tracker. If you have the same problem please star the issue, but avoid giving "me too" comments... as everyone in the thread gets an email for your +1 comment.

I really hope Android 3.0 (Gingerbread) will bring up a solution. (If the N1 will receive it)
Hi guys,
There's so many add-in tools out in the market that can easily solve those volume level issue. (e.g. "Dock Volume", "Car Dock v2", and many "Locale" or "Tasker" apps) So in my personal option, this is not an issue at all.

You're completely clueless to the issue at hand, please stay away from this thread. Most of those apps have been around before Froyo was even released.

[Q] HTC Desire headset not working

Hi, I've recently upgraded my Desire Rom to gingerbread and now my headset doesn't work. Tried original equipment and aftermarket headphones and the sound still comes out of the onboard speaker when playing music. Phone works normally. Can anyone help?

are u talking about Handsfree not working with ur Desire?
handsfree and music, headphones don't work at all. It's like they're not even plugged in!
I experienced the same thing today.
Upgraded my HTC Desire to Gingerbread. I have never rooted my device. Nor used custom roms. Always stock.
The GB upgrade was provided by HTC herself.
Today I want to use my stock headphone but my desire doesn't even detects the jack beeing inserted. Also FM radio complaines about inserting the headphone in order to use the antenna fo receiption.
With FroYo I used my headphone numerous times without any problem.
Since GB it lookes like it isn't even connected.
But... first place to complain about this would be HTC I think.
Just wanted to let you know you're not the only one.
I had the same problem, but on Froyo. I found rebooting solved it.
Working now
Hi all,
don't know why but my headset works now. I have done nothing, it just started working.
Volume is low though.
Probably useless, but have you tried with different headphones?

Earphone problems since ICS upgrade

I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket to ICS 4.0.4, and since then have been having weird problems with my earphones.
Before, when I used any music player, the single button on the earphone wire would pause/play music, and would also answer/end any phone calls I would receive while listening to music. I can still hear music, but the button no longer works. The mic also no longer works.
When I make or receive phone calls with the earphones plugged in, I can no longer hear anything through the earphones unless I first unplug them from the phone, then plug them back in. When the phone call ends, I can't hear any music through the earphones unless I again unplug them, then plug them back into the phone. It's almost like the phone forgets to route sound back to the earphone jack whenever it switches between the phone and any multimedia source unless I unplug it first. It was working fine before the ICS upgrade. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

I never ran into that problem, are you comfortable with flashing? If so I would recommend flashing CM9 or SkyICS, since i've used both of those and never had that problem arise(basically any other 4.0.4 custom rom in the dev section should be fine). If you need help with flashing just post back and i'll be happy to help.

I took the earphones to an AT&T store and tried them out on other phones, with the same result, so it appears that it is a hardware problem with the earphones that coincided with the upgrade to ICS that had me fooled . I appreciate your suggestion, though!

Nexus 5 top speaker not working

Hello everyone, i recently upgraded my mom's phone from an htc 610 to my old nexus 5 i had lying around so i took it up to the AT&T store and the rep tried to pull off the backing of the phone thinking it was a cover, got about halfway down, and disconnected / broke the top speaker (the one used just for phone calls). So she can't hear people on the other end of calls anymore and i'm trying to figure out a way to fix this (taking the phone apart being a last resort, but i'll do it if i have to) It's not a software bug (switched around various roms, kernels, audio settings) and the top speaker worked fine before so i'm trying to figure a workaround like routing all the audio for calls to the bottom speaker but i have no idea how i would go about doing that. If anyone has any ideas how i could do this or maybe any other suggestions i would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time! ^^

Try a Bluetooth headset/earpiece.
