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?

I have a set of Rockfish stereo headphones. they have been clear in calls and listening to music. Connected them to the sensation and now everybody that I talks to says that they hear an echo on their end when we are talking. This did not happen with my 2.0 version on the hd2. Is anybody else having a problem with migrating their previous 2.0 headphones to the sensations 3.0 bluetooth format?
If not, does anyone know how I can remedy this (if there is one)? Thanks in advance.
My Sony DRBT100CX's are 2.1 and work great.

I think he's saying Bluetooth 3.0 not Sense 3.0........
He is asking if anyone coming from Bluetooth 2.0 is having problems with their headsets on bluetooth 3.0
Ye. I have the same issue. The Phone will sync to bluetooth in my car but everyone states they get echo feedback. I have posted email to HTC, see what they come up with.
nice catch.

Thank you for pointing that out to me. I should have caught that he was unclear about my point.
yes, BLUETOOTH 3.0 & 2.0 compatibility. Not Sense 3.0

Hi,
I have a similar problem.i have a Sennheiser bluetooth earpiece. It works well on my Hd2, but on some Sense 3.0 ROMS , it would sound bubbly almost underwater.I have found the same thing with the Sensation.
So maybe it does have something to do with Sense 3.0.
I have the same problem. When using my bluetooth speakerphone in the car, the other caller complains of echos and bad background noise. I have no problems when I use it with my Vibrant. This sucks.
I have the same issue with my carkit. Lots of complaints from receivers:
Bluetooth carkit quality
I've been having issues with BT as well. Echos as you describe on calls but also i can only connect to media upon initial pair. I have jambox, jawbone and a stereo headset that all are A2DP but only connect to phone audio when i connect to them. They will do media the when first paired. I have to keep unpairing and pairing to get media. Was like that on all 3 sensations i've had. TMO US needs an update in a bad bad way.... This is the buggiest phone i've ever had

Totally agree. May take mine back.
Sony mw600 headphones, Kenwood DDX-812 and my pc all pair fine for me.

Same issue. Jabra BT2015 (Bluetooth version 2.0) was working fine with my HD2, but with the Sensation, callers complain of excessive background noises.
Thaught it was my phone, but tried yesterday with an another Sensation in the shop & was the same. Too high noise. So I thaught it must be the headset.
I have used my IOGEAR Solar Bluetooth Car Kit with my MyTouch 3G and with my Vibrant and never had complaints from callers. My fiance won't even talk to me when I use it with my Sensation. She complains about an echoing noise and horribly loud background noises.
Bluetooth issue - no audio on carkit
My bluetooth pairs with my car kit, can answer and hangup with car kit, but no audio goes through car kit.
It did work when i first got my sensation.
I got root (temp) and deleted some "bloatware" (maybe something i shouldn't have), then I upgraded to latest software. Now i have above problem.
anyone know is upgrade may have caused problem - or do i need to replace driver???? if so anyone got the file?

bumping this for the people who might have missed this thread
I have the Jawbone Icon and while I don't have an echo incoming sounds are hallow and tinny with a bit of crackle. Sounds like crap. Although the people I speak to say I sound great. On my SGS2 people say I sound great however they say I don't sound as good.
So, this is my millionth time with this issue. basically the problem seems to be that my headphone jack thinks that my headphones are still plugged in. this leads to- no audio during calls without my headphones, no music without my headphones. ive had this problem with my last epic. i got sprint to replace that one because of the issue. now that ts back again on my new epic im concerned its no longer hardware failure and something wrong that im doing. possible problems could be- the headphones i use(they went through the wash once) ,mis-matching baseband/modem/kernel/rom... or perhaps too much wiping and flashing.
I am rooted with cwm3.1.0.1 and i recently applied the eh17.zip update but im still on ec05 baseband. ive been constantly switching roms between stockeh17, redbeast(ec05?) urban vendetta and regen and some starsky rom on eh17, desperately looking for one that actually works.
any advice or insight would be excellent. thanks guys.
Maybe your headphones are messing with your device. So try a different pair

Cyanogenmod 7.1 stable, only phone mic works even tho headset is recognized as a headset and not headphones, worked on stock.
I installed the inspiremod 0.5, and the headset microphone was still not working.
Then I went on getting a new kernel, lordmodUEv8.6-CFS-INSPIRE as it supports dual mic.
Ok I ended up with a damn awesome phone, but the only flaw being headset mic is just not working...
Am I missing something to get the dang headset microphone to work?
Anyone?
Just to be sure it's a phone issue...
Have you tested the microphone on another device to confirm that it works?
(I had a pair of headphones that coincidently quit playing out of the left ear the same night that I rooted my phone and flashed Ice Cold Sandwich 2.0.0... it wasn't till I tried the headphones in my laptop that I was sure it wasn't an issue with the phone)
I upgraded to nightly 260 plus same kernel and inspiremod, the mic now works.

Seeing old post, and I wonder if I might have this issue in jellytime, havent used the headset in a while..
Hi,
This is my first post after months of reading and waiting for the ICS RUU. I've installed it and no issues rose for me, just a strange behaviour with the headset I've always successfully used with my DS. Now when i have a phone call the mic part of the headset is not working, the person at the other end doesnt hear me, anyone has the same problem?
Thanks!

Here no headphones mic problem...(me too with official ICS ruu update).
i have no problem on that but what my problem after official ICS RUU i had a very low in-call volume the volume before i update it to official ICS is OK, but now i cant hear any call when the environment is a bit noisy. Had check my setting of the volume is "MAX".
Ive just tried again the stock headset (found it in the phone box) and mic works...funny I'm wondering why it doesn't catch the mic with the diddy beats, It's a metal connector and it worked fine on GB...It would be nice to know if there's a mic setting flag somewhere in Android when you plug in a headset...

Even I am facing headphone issue after ICS RUU upgrade. My headphone mic doesnt respond during call's. Someone pls can suggest..
Had a problem with my hands-free 's mic also, even before the RUU to ICS.
So I take it I might harmed the thing.
Yet, the ear-buds worked just fine and I was able to listen to radio and music.
Now, there is no radio or music coming from the hands-free set *or* any other headset I use.
At first, I thought it must be the jack hole. It could be destroyed somehow. Humidity, or something else.
But I tested them with a call, and they were working just fine.
(The incoming audio, anyway...)
So, there is not a hardware problem with it, or the headphones. (I wonder if there is any problem with the hands-free set, also...)
That leads us to the assumption that there is some kind of bug (or something) in the software part of the phone.
I would be curious to find out more, since the vast majority of my phone's SD card is filled with music and pod-casts.
Hi all,
I have successfully rooted and flashed Paranoid Android 2.54 onto my ATT HOX and it is a wonderful ROM for sure. I love the options that it provides and the silky smooth, almost stock interface. The only real issue that I have come across is when I try to use a headset for calls. I am defining a headset as a 3.5mm plug in set of earbuds with mic (Klipsch S4i to be exact). When I listen to music, be it on Pandora, Google Music or Apollo all is well. As soon as I try to use the phone, no sound comes through the earbuds and the mic does not function. In fact you can see a noticable slow down in the dialer app when the headset it even plugged in. If I make a call, then plug in the headset, everything goes silent and the other side can't hear me until I unplug the headset from the phone.
Here is the real kicker though! I have my car stereo modded with an aux 3.5mm plug for listening to music and if I plug the phone into that it works just fine in phone mode! Now, I do realize that the Klipsch is setup as a TRRS and the car aux is just TRS (so when using the car stereo I am effectively bypassing the mic portion of the 3.5mm plug and using the phone's mic), but I cannot for the life of me understand why the headset will not work.
I am hoping that someone can enlighten me or least tell me that they to are experiencing this same issue. I will gladly provide any more info that someone might need to help diagnose the issue, and thanks in advance!
Update so far...
So, up to this point here is what I've found. If I plug in a normal set of earphone (read buds only no mic inline) then I will get sound through them no matter what I am doing (youtube, music or phone). Also, in this configuration anyone I am talking to on the phone can hear me just fine as I am using the phone's mic. However, when I plug in an earbud/mic combo the phone will not function. I get silence and the other side cannot hear me speaking either. It's as if the software has somehow told the headphone jack to act differently than it used to with earbud/mic combos. I am stumped as to why the OS would not allow this type of use when it is so standard. Anyone have any thoughts?
I actually have the same headset and I started having problems with it on the stock rom before I even rooted and flashed a custom one. I honestly just thought it was because they're really made for apple phones. Sometimes I'll just unlplug and plug them back in for them to register. Other than that I haven't seen a fix for them.
P.S. Klipsch control from the play store seemed to make things worse for me

Thanks for the response! Yeah, I think I am going to try another ROM just to see if it will help, but I have the distinct feeling it might be a hardware issue. I just can't understand why this would all the sudden malfunction right after rooting for me. Maybe just a coincidence. I will definitely respond here though if flashing to a new ROM helps...

I've never tried paranoid but King kang(which has paranoid elements) works fine for the most part. nocturnal'd dirty rom, miui, and cm10 have all worked for me tho. I'm currently on the unofficial cm10.1 4.2 and that's working for me as well, except when I have the headset plugged in while booting.
Final Update....And SUCCESS
So, it appears that it was some sort of ROM specific issue. I flashed CleanROM 5.1 to my phone and "wah-lah"! The headset works perfectly in all modes. I am not sure what it was about Paranoid Android 2.54 that would not allow the headset/mic combo to work with the phone, but I am free of it now I guess. I will miss the interface of PA, but boy does CleanROM run FAST!!! I am in awe of the speed and responsivness. I hope the battery life holds up like PA did for me and I also think that the quick settings on CleanROM basically RULE.
