Headphone jack issue

The headphone jack on my Desire S was not working. Either the headphone connection icon was not there when I plugged it in, or when it was there, there was no sound coming from the headphones. (By the way I have tried various headsets).
I sent it back to O2 and the replacement I have got today has exactly the same problem! Am I doing sth wrong, is there a workaround anyone knows?

Used my own head phones for weeks, no problems experienced
Head phone icon appears when I plug them in.
Sorry

I wonder whether they simply sent back the same one, with a factory reset done

No, they did not because I sent the first phone back to O2 with the courier who delivered the replacement.

Hmmm, or you were tricked by the courier ;-)

Nevermind. I don't know whether it was related with Sound Settings->Pocket mode or not, I toggled it off then on, and the headphone starts working now. Weird. I wondered whether that would have worked on the first phone which was sim unlocked. Now I have to unlock this one. Shame.

Problems while charging

Is anyone else experiencing any problems while charging their sensation?
When I have it plugged in it seems to be very jumpy and doesn't recognize where I have touched on the screen. Example, it takes a few attempts to open the notification bar. Or I try to scroll through my home screens and it might bring up the customize menu etc etc

It did this to me the first time I plugged it in after bringing it home. I did a factory reset while it was still plugged in and it was still happening. I was about to take it back but it worked fine after unplugging and haven't had the problem since. Does this happen every time you plug it in?

I have not seen this problem with mine BUT I had the same problem with an old android phone (Behold 2--- HORRIBLE phone!) and it turned out to be a bad charger. I threw it out and got a new one. Problem solved. Have you explored more than one charger?

This usually happens if u use a non-stock charger, or if you connect too many devices to same power plug. Could this be the case?

Interesting... It happened to me with the stock Sensation charger. I normally plug my charger into the outlet on the wall my bed is pushed up against so I was pissed at the shape of the charger. I have been using my MT3G charger ever since because it hugs the wall. Makes me wonder if its the Sensation charger that is bad instead of just a fluke...
Just plugged it into the stock charger and yes, the charger is the problem apparently. Thank you for helping me discover the solution (which should have been quite obvious to me since switching chargers fixed it..) #Facepalm

This happen to me yesterday. It was fine if charged through my pc. But using the stock wall changer it started going crazy. So needless to say I exchanged it now all is right.
Funny thing is it worked perfect when I got it . Just yesterday it just started going crazy. So between this and unresponsive screen issues I just had to exchange it.

I think this could be the cause as it seems to be fine with the official charger.
I'm happy with this, at least it ain't me phone. Already sent one back.
Thanks for the replies y'all

I need a new vibration motor with mic,headphone jack and speaker.

My vibration had burned due to overclocking too much my phone was overheating and one day one of the vibration motor cable had burn.. Now i dont want to mess with the little cables and stuff like that so i just want to get the whole part. Does someone have one or know where to get it please let me know need it asap

I think that is a poor diagnosis as to why your phone is broken.
Do you keep it in a case? How many times have you dropped it?

Just a guess, an Adult store? They's got vibrators. Oh my, I crack myself up.

Well yeahh i got case on it and i have dropped it a lot of times already. I can upload one pic more where there is a black spot on a cable like its burned or something

Umm gee "insert att rep name here" I dunno whats wrong with my phone it just has no sound and dosent vibrate...
Of course after its retutned to stock unless you bought outright.

The phone is already costumized and i think it was my fault with the vibration motor that i have accedintely burned it by overcloking it too much. Theres no problem with no speaker the ringtones work perfectly and i did returned to stock and vibration is still not working.

Htc Inspire Car Panel & Speaker Phone Auto Lanching Problem

My Car Panel App would start launching without me doing anything. I have to exit it by pressing exit. But in sometime it again shows up. Also after this happens my speaker phone always begins a call with the speaker phone on while using the phone, even if I am not in car panel.

This is the same exact problem i have. I havent found a solution yet.

If this happens while plugged into the charger try a different cable (this is what fixed it for me), if this is happening while not plugged in try blowing some compressed air into the usb port. Something could of gotten in there & is causing the pins to short making it think it's in a dock.

Hey guys, just a tidbit of info for ya. My phone would have the speaker on when making calls. My solution was to go into my watchdog app and kill the process for the car panel app. Now as for the car panel constantly coming up, don't know. Just wanted you all to know what the fix was for the speakerphone issue as I had it for about a week.

Car Panel issue
I had the same problem with my Inspire. Car Panel would launch, and phone always answered on speaker. It all stopped after I rooted my phone and flashed a new ROM. I've tried out three different ROMS and it didn't happen while using any of them. Granted, I'm still searching for a ROM that I like, at least I'm not having those two issues any more. I hope this helps. I was told by AT&T about the cleaning the port possibly being a fix, however, that did nothing for me. Some other research told me it was from using a non HTC USB chord and if I stopped using "the" generic chord(s) it might stop...that never worked for me, just the new ROMS...

What rom did you install to fix the problem?

Erm, sounds like it's really dead I'm afraid
Have you attacked the usb slot with a small brush?
Tried a different cable?

+1 for cleaning the microusb port of your device
If only charging died, i would suspect your battery. But as long as nothing is working, it should be mentioned port.

Well than the USB port broke.... Only thing to do is to find a place to fix you're device. Or buy galaxy s3 - One x

Pretty cheap and looks easy to fit from the disassembly vids I have seen.

Thanks man! Is it possible that the my phone motherboard is ok? I have heard in these cases ,, u have to replace the whole motherboard,?? Or just the flex cable will work?

No idea, but for that price its worth a go!
Mine charges but won't connect via adb, so I might try swapping mine one day
Also worth bearing in mind HTC's come with a 2 year warranty if you are still stock.

It might be your phone's microUSB socket.
Congratulations! :highfive:
Since the beginning of my stay here on the Desire S forum, I believe you are the first one to have this problem.. (correct me if I'm wrong)..

Have a look at the teardown video on YouTube and you will see the little connector that joins the USB port on to the main board. Make sure it is fully connected and if so then disconnect and reconnect. There is no electronics in there, so not much to go wrong unless you actually damage the connector.

i think your usb socket in your DS is damage.

Its a really bad feeling,,, u know
