I Just bought a htc sensation, and my headphones dont work proper, they are from a sony phone, and i have to hold down the headset button to let the sound sound good. I fixed it with some tape, but it goes loose all the time, so are there any other ways of fixing it??

Try another headphones, so you will know, if it's headphone or phone problem. As for headphones, replacing a jack is a good starter. I don't know what to do, if it's a phone problem though...full wipe and install a ROM I guess
I'm using my headset now, that works cuause that one doesnt have a headset button for callen. The other one does, guess i'll have to stick with this one :3

Has anyone figured a way to boost the low sound volume on the Sensation yet? Most probably something that requires root? I love everything about the phone except for the speaker

We will need root for this. I had it one time on a samsung phone and it also needed root to boost the loudness.

Try the Volume+(Sound Boost) app from the market. There has been a recent update for the Sensation & EVO 3D.
I'm using Equalizer from the Market with the Rock setting with equalizer and virtualizer checked and I no longer need to have the volume maxed out. Works great but I'm going to compare it to Volume + to see which is better.

^^^ This. Just don't blow up your speaker.

Okay, I just downloaded Volume + for free from androidaudiohacks.com and it works equally well as Equalizer. It has more customization settings but both will do the job.

I'm afraid that it might damage the speakers ??
Volume+ works a treat!!!

Because we all keep buying the issue laden stuff that they put out. They have no impetus to change. They have gotten away with it for this long so why change now? I believe they also rely heavily on the fantastic dev's in this forum to pick up after them and find the solutions to issues that they do not want to take the time to discover. If we all just boycotted buying the newest -greatest- latest for a couple of months and started asking for refunds after the first issue laden device (instead of hanging on hoping for the elusive perfect one and accepting multiple devices and unkept promises from the OEM)they might get the message. Of course this would take away the fun of having cutting edge technology and I would have to find something else to grumble about.LOL
how loud do you people think that little ass speaker is supose to be its not bigger than the hd2 speaker wich is a whole lot louder face it your going to f up your speaker trying to make it louder
Volune+ app works wonders on this phone and its free no root needed enjoy.

I bought an in-ear headphones. But sometimes phone thinks that these headphones are with mic. And the most annoying thing is when phone starts to call last number.
What should I do now? Is it normal? Anyone else had this before?
I have coredroid rom.

Yeah I've had this before as well, I tend to just pull it back out and plug it back in but not like all the way in and it's fine. Seems like a strange little bug.

I'm doing just like you. As its not only for me I will cut wires from headphones and solder in-ear headphones with original ones, and I will have my comfortable headphones and music control.

Too late, I already modified my headphones, and guess what! Now output power is so powerful that with volume at half is loud enough to me.

Nice one, maybe I should consider soldering
Has anyone else found that their headphone jack has randomly stopped working? I'm on the CM10 ROM, but I'm not sure that it makes a difference.
Then go back to stock and try that....

That happens to me when I have my tpu case on... The spacing for the jack doesn't have enough slack.

I've had 2 scares...all caused by failing headphones. This jack seems very sensitive to any electrical flaw in cheap headphones.
Cm10 for me has had issues with the headphones. I'm on aokp cm10 and the headphones are almost fixed. Still have an issue if I reboot with the headphones connected. Jb ROMs are still quite new for our phone. It hasn't even been officially released for our phone and the work that the developers have been doing is phenomenal. Gibe it some time and we'll be really stable.

Just had it happen to a nephew on a Vivid, told him to do a hard reset and the Jack came back to life.
HTC One S TmoUS
Never any issues on mine. Sense 4.1. I got an expensive pair of Beats that give a nice click and stick in very well. God FORBID my Katy Perry gets played out loud through my external!
I now have this issue with Baked Blackbean ROM after installing the AC!D Audio. I haven't used my jack in a long time cause I normally use bluetooth so I'm not sure when and how this issue happened. I guess I will wait til the next update and check it after a clean flash.
***EDIT***
Here is a headphone fix I found for Baked Blackbean 7
Try SoundAbout on Google Play, others have said this fixes the problem...

Don't forget to set lpa.decode to 'false' in the build.prop if it's not already.
I'm having this headphone issues that when I connect some headphones I can't hear anything unless I giggle the connector and I need to be holding it so it can play on the left side. If I release it spa again. The headphones are recognized on the phone though when I connect them. I tried without the back cover and it's the same. I guess it's an hardware problem because I tried with more headphones and it's the same.
Is it possible to fix this?

Hi,
Do you have anything stuck at the bottom of the headphones hole.
There may be something preventing it from making proper contact.
No mate, I don't. I cleaned it very carefully inside. Is the audio jack replaceable or do I need to change the whole board?

I also have this problem, albeit it isn't as severe for me. I found that pulling out the headphone pin a little bit solved the issue.
Hello, so this started some time ago (long), when i plug in my headphones and start playing music, after some time, completely random, my phone turns the headphones into (as i assume from the icon) a headset with a mic in it and starts either calling the last called contact or turns on google talk. Also whenever this happens usually the volume tends to lower itself also.
I'm using factory settings, no new roms, just restored into factory everything from scratch, that bug is still there, no additional apps. Also it doesn't matter which player i use, used winamp now i used google play...
Much obliged in advance
What is your rom.

Using phillips headphones, don't have the box so i can't identify them atm, anyways, noticed that when i'm using the VLC player, and only when i leave it turned on and not minimized, the bug becomes less frequent, so i guess that's a software issue?
Obviously when i had the htc earphones this did not happen.
If your headphones have a little control piece for answering calls or volume this is probably your problem as most of them are designed to control iPhones they don't work and cause your phone to do some funky things and drain battery like crazy
