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.

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.
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
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

The loudspeaker in my phone (mytouch 4G slide) stopped working. Therefore the ringer doesn't work. Also I cannot listen to music or videos. Sound works fine through a headset though so I think it just the speaker that went bad or a loose connection. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement speaker? Has anyone had a similar problem and got it fixed?
speaker is like 5$ on ebay and a quick replacement

I tried look it up on ebay but could not find a replacement speaker for the mytouch 4G slide. Do you know if there is a generic speaker I could use? Can you suggest what I should search for (part number, etc)? Any help is really appreciated.
yeah I just did a quick search and didn't see any right now either, I'm sure you could google it though. it is a strange design, held in with adhesive, you could open it up and just make sure it is making good contact. I don't know of a universal option as it is weird, but anything is possible

I'll keep looking. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hello,
same happened to me.
Finally I found out that the speaker is the same as many other HTC's, e.g. HTC Sensation.
Just search for "HTC Sensation speaker", or one of their spare parts: "EAS1S181E".
This is how it should look like.
Regards
Just be very careful when you solder in the new speaker. The proximity and light sensors are right next to one of the speaker pads and you can easily ruin one or both with an errant touch of the soldering iron.
Don't ask how I know....
The image I've posted is about the loudspeaker, it isn't necessary to solder anything, speaker isn't soldered, and is at the bottom of the phone. In fact, he only needs to remote the 2 bottom screws, not all.
This is the video I followed to replace my loudspeaker:

It's very easy
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
