Hi,
I have been having a problem lately with the headphone port on my phone.I don't use it at all for anything but for some reason, my phone randomly says that there are headphones plugged into my phone. This stops me from being able to hear sounds out of the speaker so i miss phone calls and texts. I also can't hear voices when I phone someone.
I am currently using the latest version of the "CyanogenMod (CM7)" port on my phone. Was wondering if anyone else was having this problem.
Sorry if it has already been posted, I have searched and couldn't find anything.

I have never seen anyone report this problem nor have i had it myself. I think it is a hardware problem so try sticking something in there if you want to experiment yourself or take it to a repair shop.
I have tried that before and it didn't help unfortunately. I did again just to check and it didn't help.
If I re-boot the phone it stops doing it but only for a short time.
I plugged some headphones in after the re-boot and they didn't show.
Maybe there has been something spilt on it and no one told me
Thank you for your help

Try flashing another ROM, preferably a Froyo ROM and see if it works then because it seems the problems stops for a while then appears. Hopefully that works.

I'm posting this here because I'm not able to post on the developers section just yet.
I am running the "official" CM10 Nightly and I have issues with my headset.
This is the stock headset that came with the phone.
It works just fine if I plug the headset in BEFORE a call, but if i plug in the headset DURING a call, I can't hear anything, or I can barely hear anything.
I've tried turning the "safe headset volume" toggle on AND off and neither does anything.
Even if I raise the volume to max, it doesn't work.
Any suggestions on how I can fix this? Please help!

Go back to stock. Nightlies are not for you.
I'm not trying to be mean. Nightlies are test builds. Stuff will be broken. If you need it to be not broken, you shouldn't be on a nightly build.

I like the build.
Clearly stuff will be broken, but I'm trying to figure out if its broken for a reason or if theres a fix.
Not everything is just broken with no possible fix.
I was hoping someone had a build that didnt have this problem or something along those lines.
I'm on stock and have a similar issue. If I plug my headset in during a call I can hear everything fine, but the person I'm talking with cannot hear me. I say this, not because I'm seeking help, but just to let you know it might just be an issue with the phone.

This is useful, if it's a stock issue as well.
Then you need to do some testing try a different ROM and then go from there. You may need a replacement device if you have to go back to stock and it still don't work.

see the interesting thing is that I'm the exact opposite.
Occasionally i can barely hear but not well enough to still use the headset.
Stupid thing is that it works fine if i call them back.

This is a known bug with CM10 and has been reported on its thread as well as the Unofficial Bug Tracker. I'd post the link for it, but I just recently created an account and cannot post outside links yet.
The work around seems to be to download "Audio Routing" and selecting "Headset Plug signal" change it from ignoring to "ALLOWING headset plug".

Hello guys,
Just recently, my speaker option stopped working and I am not sure how it happened. I've been on barebones for a couple months now and I was curious if it was just the rom, so I flashed cm9 and slimics, but still no luck. Any suggestions how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance.

When you say speaker option, do you mean putting it on speaker during a phone call? Do you hear sound out of your external speaker when you play music or do anything else besides phone calls?
I would suggest going back completely to stock using the GB one-click: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498. Or, maybe even giving the gremlin remover a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500427&highlight=gremlin
If you don't get sound going on a completely stock ROM, you probably have a hardware issue. Has the phone been dropped or has anything been spilled on it?
Yes, your right, the speaker option won't work during a phone call. When it is at max volume its just a scratchy sound from the person when they talk. I think your suggestion may be the best way to go as far as trying to get my speaker to work again. Thanks.
Hi All,
I have this strange problem on Nexus 5.
When i call a person, if i activate the speakerphone or i use headset, the other person cannot hear me.
I tried with rooted and stock rom and i have the same problem.
I sent the mobile 2 times to LG and they said that everything is working fine. But it is not. Any other person in this forum had the same problem? If yes how can be possible to fix?
Thanks a lot

what apps do you have installed that might mess with the phone capabilities or with sound.
Hi,
thank you for answer.
I didn't install anything. It's just the stock ROM. Just installed the sim card and tried to call.
How did you flash stock? I'm talking about factory images. And this happens with everyone?
I followed google instructions. and yes it happens with everyone.
I installed now an app called soundmeter to check if the microphone is working.
When i'm not in speakerphone or headset it is working (values around 20 and 70db, depending how loud i talk).
When i start speakerphone the values are on 60db with no movement at all.
Can be a software problem or hardware problem?
I sent to lg support 2 times and they told that everything is working.
I really don't know what to do about.
i got the same its really strange...
I tried several roms, Kernals and mods nothing helps...
I have also bought a new sim card because i was thinking maybe it wasa this problem but nothing.
Is there any test or workaround that i can do to search the problem and fix it?
LG doesn't want to replace my device.
While going through the steps, have you tried looking at/grabbing logcat output? Some useful output might be there.
Have you tried another phone app?
Hi,
this is the logcat file.
Hope i have everything you need. What filter can I use to see only what needed?
Thanks
Hi there everyone. i need some help with a used nexus 4 that i recently purchased.
The mic does not work when i use the speaker phone in phone calls only.
i can make voice recordings in whatsaap, and other functions using the speaker mic works.
But when i try to use the speaker phone in a phone call, the other person cannot hear me at all, its as if i pressed 'mute' on the mic.
i searched the net everywhere i could think of, but only found people with the opposite problem, where the mic only worksin speaker mode for them, but not for regular calls, which is the opposite of my issue..
also another strange thing, when i plug in an external headset/mic, the whole phone becomes like one big mic, and any way i touch the phone, sounds like crumpling paper extremely loudly.....
does anyone know of a solid fix for this issue?
thnks!!!!

well i never own nexus... what i can suggest just install minimal adb from xda... And then download last known official factory images from google or http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4 here... You can ask anybod here in general section.... People are willing to help just try to talk...
i was more like looking and hoping for someone who actually owned a nexus 4 and know about this specific issue and how to solve it......
it might save me hours of trying different things that may or may not work.
thnks though if i dont get any other replies ill just start by trying your advice.
Anyone know waht is causing the volume level to go WAY down after I place, or receive a phone call. I love the phone very much but this is driving me crazy! I'm on T-Mobile which is working fine. I have to use the Digits app at home to make calls. But no mater if I use Digits or not, if I make or receive a call the loudness of anything on the phone basically goes away. System sounds, YouTube, Iheart radio.... Anything that uses the speakers looses all volume. I have to reboot to get it back. Pretty annoying
I am facing the same problem. It just started to happen this week.
Clearly it's boring! if your device is rooted with magisk try viper4android it's magic, believe me !
Im having a similar problem and started to notice it few days ago, mainly because I am 85% of the time using the phone on vibration only.
I don't know exactly what OP means with "goes away", if this means that the volume is low (ringing or playing music) but the controls are still to the top, then yes I'm facing it too, but, what is really strange is that for me, just the top speaker have sound, while the bottom speaker is really low.
I managed to figure out that if I cover the top speaker with my finger without "pressure" or trying to squash it, the bottom speaker start "working" again. Im lost with this situation.
Sounds like a messed up mixer math or possibly audio mod that is messing it up

Could be a botched firmware. Be my guess. Iv flashed many roms and official firmware and never had this issue. Have you tried flash tool or the new flasher?

No, I never flash this phone before, just the automatic updates. All is stock.
Ahhh then one of the updates got messed. Sony must of messed something up. Flashed an older, firmware, different region firmware or hope for a patch from aony
No one else with this problem?
this just happened to me but after listening to spotify any way to fix this?
