Handsfree/Earphones not being recognized - HTC One S

My problem is when I plug the handsfree in. The headset sign does not appear on the bar and the sound keeps coming from the phone speakers. Tried restarting, didn't work. Am looking for a solution that doesn't involve applying the nandroid. Thanks.

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.

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?

Headphones always turned on

Hello, yesterday i wanted to make a small speaker for my phone, so i connected the phone to the speaker trough a jack and blah blah.. then it was not so loud so i tried to add 9V ac to the speaker.. big mistake, my phone turned off, i turned it on right away and even when i disconnect my headphones they still show like they are in. No youtube sound, no music and no sound when someone calls me. What could i do? Please help me..

Seems like you might have blown off the sound amp section of your phone, by injecting that 9V ac power
A trip to the LG Service Center for you I guess !!!
But the speaker works! When i press volume + the speaker produces that sound of volume, the speaker works well but the phone sends the audio to the wrong place, any ideas without having to go to the LG servis? Im a bit poor this time..

Try opening the phone n check for any damage/burn part. Or try speaker cleaner app from gplay

But the phone speaker works! It isnt broken or something, i just need to find a way to disconnect headphones, because they show they are always connected, even if they arent. The speaker is working because when i press vol + and vol - it produces a sound. Is there an app to disconnect manually the headphones!

If you have any pair of headphones plug them into jack and reboot the phone and unplug them at lg logo
Maybe will deactivate the headphones profile for me this method worked on icysnap v1.1 (I had a similar bug with headphones)

Hi! I got a similar problem thanx yours, my headphones also shows that are connected all the time, and I think it's software related because whan I flash a PAC-man rom te sound of the headphones hears in the speaker. Have you tried a restore vía KDZ? Maybe that fix the problem (I can't tried yet because of lack ofrece time)

Try this it switches between headphone and speakers

It's look like that app aren't compatible with the p500 but there are some similar apps, for example I installed one called "toggle headset 2" and it works!!!

[Q] HTC One X (Rogers) strange speaker issue

Hi guys,
My HTC One X (Rogers) was working fine until one day I noticed that while I had my AUX cable or headphones plugged in, the ringtone upon receiving a call would be so loud that it'd distort. When I receive calls without having either of these plugged in, the ringer volume is fine but upon plugging them in, the sound amplifies 3x causing a very poor sound quality. It gets fixed after a factory reset (the reset option which only resets accounts and settings and leaves the data as it is). It stays fine for 3-4 days until it starts happening again. I sometimes do a hard restart after full battery charge just to calibrate battery by pressing and holding down power button until it restarts.
A notice appears after restart in the notifications bar,(send error report to HTC.) And I click on it to see it saying that the phone had an abnormal restart. Could this be causing the issue?
I don't have any problems with music or sound without AUX or headphones plugged in.
No problems with music with them plugged in.
Only ringtones distort and get extremely loud when they're plugged in.
This issue was never there since I bought it and has started to trouble me recently :'(
I'm in stress because of this and cannot factory reset every three days. So please help me out if you can. I'd be very grateful

You can try downloading the 3.17 ota for your carrier and installing it through your phones recovery.

Will it fix the issue? Do I lose my data upon update?

What's the process of installing OTA via recovery? My phone has stock rom and I cannot find a way to install ota via recovery.

So you'll want to download the OTA zip file from one of the RUU threads. Click the Resource compilation thread link in my signature and scroll down to the RUU section.
Then check the MD5 of your download to make sure there's no corruption.
Then copy the zip file to your SD card. Then boot to bootloader by holding the power button. The back, home, and recent apps buttons will blink (7 times?) then the screen will go black. Let go of power and hold volume down until the bootloader comes up.
Select recovery
When you get a picture on your screen, press power and volume up at the same time(I think?) then you should get a few options one of which being install from zip or something like that.
Select that option, browse to your zip file, select it and let the phone do the rest.
Charge your phone up before doing all this so it doesn't die in the process. Takes about 10-15 mins to complete. I've only done this once that's why I'm a little shady on the details.
Good Luck.

[Q] Headphones problem/bug?

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
