Hi all, i have a problem after upgrade my SPV C600 from WM5 to WM6.
after finish the upgrading, i could play my windows media player and could make a phone call without any problem.
after a while after i plug in my earpice to listen music, it went good as well.
after plug it off (earpiece not attached), when i play windows media player, i cant hear anything and i try to make a phone call also the same, no sounds came out from speaker and from loudspeaker as well. but when i plug in the earpice everything goes smoothly, meaning that i can listen music and communicate with others when make a phone call.
before that i tried to ensure whether i face the software or hardware problem by setting the ringtone (start->setting->sound). but the sound could come out from the speaker.
after that i guess that the speaker (hardware) has no problem.
as to play windows media player and setting ringtone are using the same speaker.
can anyone tell me whats happening with my phone?
i believe that it is software related problem.
thanks in advance

i have tried to reboot and hard reset as well
but i can only listen music and make a phone call when i use my earpice
Please state which ROM you are using, we recommend Andot's PEE
I too have this exact problem any solution other than hard reset - dont need the pain of downloading resinstalling all my stuff - especially if its going to happen again.

Tornado mic and speaker for phone not working
It rings and plays sounds but it appears that the hardware microswitch that sets it to wired-headset mode is stuck. I cannot set it back. Also: it switched into this mode when I rebooted (soft). I did not add or remove a 2.5mm jack. Is there a registry setting to override the microswitch sensor and keep it out of headset mode?
Hi, this is my first post and hope helpfull everybody, possibly i was the same problem over ALL ROM (wm6 & wm6.1), searching for any solution (my specific trouble was that if i wanna listen music over any player: ( a.k.a windows media, pocket player, etc), i dont had a normal sound from the speaker, the sound was distorsioned, low... horrible, the only solution was insert the plug from the headset and out , but, power off the phone and... again, sucks really ), i return to a Wm5 Rom (imate) and solve the problem, but, tired for the slow performance of WM5, search for other rom, sacrify the music listen ( but i have a good mp3 player...), and, the same problem.
I found in the web (no remember the page) that the SRS plug-in anytimes cause troubles with the sound output, i try to install any ROM WITHOUT this complement, the ROM from Rickywatt Tornado Neo/shadow no have this plugin, install and ...Eureka, no more the issue, follow my instint, i install the SRS plug in, reboot and... the fuc%$& problem, hard reset and the phone witout the problem... conclusion, the SRS was the monster.
You can try this "method", most of rom carry or include from the "kitchen" this SRS dll, but installing the rom from Rickywatt (fast, clean... beautiful, only without the spanish lang, but, nothing is perfect...), can solve the issue, for me ,cors, i dont know for you (my phone is a HTC sda).
For the mic, really i dont have idea , any bad registry, entry, etc :-(, i never have this issue, good luck...

That's not controlled by software. Try plugging and unplugging a headset several times, twisting it around to clean the contacts. It should clean and close contact for built in speaker to work again. Think of a circuit. If its closed, you have built in speaker. If it opens and you have a headset pluged in, then audio flows thru the headset. It won't go back to speaker until that circuit is closed again. Its mecanical, not software, so you can't do anything with registry.

the same for me
well
the only fix i got was to disasemble and remove the swithch leaving its contacts as exposed as possible, the soldered a wire between 2 of the 3 connectors, hey presto all working, headset hole then filled with glue from glue gun
very rough but it worked....
as an after thought though see if youve updated your radio software, stranger things have happened if youve been into flashing with 3rd party roms

Thank you!!! The only problem that i've now it's buy a torch :S
I am hoping somebody would help solve my problem. I have a Calypso SP bluetooth headphone. My phone shows it's connected to the device but the sound from music player still come out from the main speaker.When i got the sound to the headphone, there's this crackling sound coming out. I have tried pairing and unpairing the device a few times, but the results are still the same. It doesn't have any problem when paired with my galaxy s.
same problem here i would also like to know if there is a fix.
What ROM are you using?
IGNORE - misread your question, sorry. Many people experience poor A2DP audio quality on the Sensation. Some headsets seem to sound okay, others don't, even though they may be fine when used with other devices. Search and you'll find some info in various threads. More recent ROMs have solved or reduced the problem for some people.
Just a quick check, are you paired to your device for both phone and media audio?
To check, if you're using Gingerbread, go into Bluetooth Settings (settings/wireless and networks), then press and hold on the device you are connected to and select 'options' in the menu that pops up. This will take you to another menu where you can check which features you are connected to. Sometimes mine only connects to 'phone audio' on my headset and I have to re-enable media audio.
Thanks for the reply. My phone is on stock firmware. This problem only happened recently. Before this i never encounter this problem. I found another problem where the volume control doesn't work when I'm using bluetooth. The same problem also occurs when i use the original earphone where the volume control detects bluetooth device even when it's not paired. I tried resetting my phone earlier and the problem is still there. Maybe i'll take it to the service center and have it fixed.
Fixed, with some sacrifice..
After fiddling around the whole night, i tried to do the restore factory setting from the recovery mode. Somehow it fixed the problem. So it might be some software or an app bug that caused the problem. Now to do a some serious apps downloading and setup.
Hi all,
The external speaker on my G5 doesn't work for notifications and media. Even the touch and lockscreen sounds don't work. But when I'm on my softphone dialling app I have audio through the external speaker. Everything works fine when the headset is connected though. I've rebooted countless times, pulled the battery and even did a factory reset all of which didn't make a difference. I've tried Mobile Uncle but don’t really know how to use all the features properly. I need help desperately because I really like this phone and don't want to go through the pain of returning it under warranty. It seems more of a software than a hardware problem or if it is hardware the only thing I can think is causing it may be a malfunction of the headphone jack (which I've only used twice). PLEASE HELP!

Weird thing started happening to my phone... When I plug in a pair of headphones (with or without mic) the phone does not detect that they are plugged in! Sound always comes out of the speakers. I've used apps like SoundAbout to force sound through the headset jack and it seems to do the trick but I'm still trying to find a proper solution for this problem.
The odd thing is that if I turn off my phone, plug in a pair of headphones, and then turn my phone back on, once booted the phone will recognize that it has a pair of headphones plugged in and everything will be fine. It doesn't work when I unplug and try to replug. It only detects the headphones on boot.
1) Is there a solution to this?
2) Anyone know something about mechanics of the 3,5mm jack? How all of this works? It seems that on boot it always tries to check if headphones are plugged in but I suppose that something mechanical in the headphone jack must trigger the check after boot...
3) I have cleaned the jack properly so dirt is not a problem. I have also tried different headphones and none of them are detected.
4) I think that problem is not software related. I have booted my phone in Safe Mode and problem is still there.
If anyone have some suggestion please help!
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: It was obviously a software problem. Yesterday I have updated my phone to new firmware v20b (SEA) and now my headset is working properly. When i plug in my headphones there is an icon in notification drawer showing that they are connected. After an upgrade of firmware I lost root so I suppose that somehow that was the source of this anoying bug. Maybe one of the apps that aquire root privilegies was causing this but I have never managed to investigate what's really going on. I tought that it was a 3,5mm jack (faulty hardware) problem...

Hello,
A while ago my Z3 stopped detecting headphones at first and headsets later as well. I belive it was when I installed 5.X.X for the first time. Only ever used greek and UK general versions.
I tried entering safe mode, factory reset, reflash etc, did't even activate google or other accounts nor installed new apps (even disabled SmartConnect), but I still have no luck so far.
I tought it was problem with oxydation, since the contacts looked a bit whitish (yes I got it wet few times and forgot to blow out all the water from the jack). But I cleaned it a few times, and even ordered and used a set of DeOxit the other day. First the red and after the blue one (have green and yellow, but sup they are for other things). I plugged a headset and it was detected by the apps like SmartConnect and Music (aka Walkman).
But the next day when I tried it, there was no detection. The phone stayed with a rubber plug during the night and was not washed before the second test.
Using an app from the play store I'm able to manually route audio output/input to headset jack and it works perfectly. No cracks or interference when I swivel the plug - both recorded audio thru mic and output to left and right headphones.
I've read the mic pin is actually responsible to connection detection...so I belive if the mic works OK then the HW connection should be OK as well?
This leaves me with what I could do SW wise to fix it. Don't really want to send it for repair - it will go to Greece and probably get scratched by their perf service...
Anyone can help?
