Hello there for some reason my phone is in headset mode and I know this because I have the headphones icon up top.This mean I can't listen to music,call or hear anything through the phone's speakers unless I have headphones plugged in.It appears to be a hardware issue because I have done the usual factory resetting and everything else down to try cleaning the headphone port.Can anyone help suggest an app other than soundabout as it doesn't work with ART and is a little quirky for me?Also does anyone have such an app?I'm using an LG G2 D802 on 4.4.2.Thanks.

Did you get any liquid in it at any time? Try cleaning it ..if not a possible 're wipe system and data etc etc then try backup or reflash. If no go maybe try to utility LG flash tool back. I see you said you've tried this. But I mean take apart. Into the sleeve of the jack

was at the beach and after that I started experiencing this.I did all the above.The only option maybe repair but I'll like to know any other software alternative that may help avoid that.It's the same on every rom.After changing my run time to art it got fixed for a day and then came back.I'm torn!
I think sometimes wrong size 3.5 mm headphones do that to your phone's jack. There's a little metal strip inside the jack that gets bent and shorts out the Eject sensor. I had that happen on my phone.
I am afraid its hardware, and you do need repair. Any app will only give you limited respite.

Hello guy,
since several weeks ago, my Desire has been acting strange..actually the right speaker of the headphone is not as loud as the left side...it goes normal again after I sake or move or twist the connection to the phone..
I have tried many ROMs and several headphones...the problem is still there...
I believe it is because the female plug on the phone is perhaps dirty, but I tried to use the PCB cleaner by spraying it inside the female plug...the problem is still there...
I wonder if anyone can give me an idea how to clean it?....or how to fix it...I just hope it is not broken or partly broken...
I have a similar problem, although luckily for me it only happens with the headphones that came with the Desire - my other headphones work fine.
Please let us know if you figure out a fix, I have a feeling that the headphone socket in mine is on its way out and will end up like yours sooner or later...
I cleaned the socket with alcohol and interdental brush...it is clean now...but the lower volume on the right side headphone is still there once in a while.
I tried also (as described before) several ROMs and several headphones/sets...I think the socket is beginning to age....hmmm...I will try for warranty claim since the warranty is still valid for the next 10 months...now...gotta unroot...

I've had a similar problem to this and I fixed it by first using a pin to bend the contacts slightly inward then using alcohol and a cotten bud to clean them.

Hi,
I've got a problem with the headphone in. When i connect headphones, it works as it should. The problem is when I disconnect the headphones. The symbol indicating that there are still headphones connected, stays in my status bar. So my H1S thinks my headphones are still connected, which is very annoying because for example, my audio isn't working anymore so I can't hear anyone that's calling me.
So how can I solve this problem? Should I start with a factory restore? Or is this most likely a hardware issue?
Has no one else encountered this issue?
Sounds like your jack may be damaged...either that or some file is whacked....could try a hard reset to test...if problem is still there...then your headphone jack is bad...warranty replacement it.

Had a similar problem on my HTC Legend, where it would think a headset was plugged in even when not. It went away after a few days. Try cleaning the inside of the jack too.
Just plug in your head phones and pull them out a couple of times. If that doesn't work take a paper clip and just rub some of the connectors inside.
Happened on my old tp2

Thanks for the input guys, unfortunately neither the hard reset nor cleaning the jack helped, the problem is still the same. I guess I'll send it back to get it fixed/replaced.

I've got the same problem mate..
Did you manage to find a solution at all??
ONly started happening today.. Im running Trickdroid 5.1
I picked up this phone from a frustrated buddy. It has no sound via headphone jack or speaker. I installed PowerAmp, so that I could tell if the headphone jack was detecting the headphones, and it is. It originally had GB, but I upgraded to JB stock via Kies and the problem persists. He did a factory reset before he gave it to me to tinker with.
Oddly enough, the in call ear speaker works fine! When I put the call on speakerphone, I get no audio, so I assume that uses the rear speaker also?
It's a really cool little phone, so I'd like to get it working. I'm guessing it's hardware, and I have no problem tearing down a phone (I've replaced glass before on numerous phones for friends). Any ideas where to start? I see both the headphone jack assembly and the lower speaker assemblies are both available reasonably. I'm inclined to just replace the rear speaker assembly, but kinda stumped as to why the headphone jack doesn't provide any audio, so maybe that's not the way to go. Anyone have any tips on where to start, based on my diagnosis?
Start with flashing back to stock UCMC1 ROM using Odin. Many times Samsung Kies attempt to "upgrade" leaves some things behind and it doesn't do a clean install.
Even after you flash with Odin you still have to go to recovery and wipe/factory reset data and cache.
Links to how to use Odin, where to get stock ROM and restore to stock are all in stickies and threads for newbies by Vincom in this forum under development tag.
Please read well before attempt.

OK, I flashed JB stock ROM via Odin, but same issue persists. Seems like it's hardware, so anyone have an idea what to replace next?
So both bottom speakers (speaker phone) and headphone jack produce no sound? But the ear piece does. Correct?

Yes. The only speaker that makes sound is the ear piece during calls. The headphone jack produces no discernible output, nor does the 'loudspeaker' on the back, for lack of a better term! I assume there is a boot-up sound, like my AT&T Note, but it's dead silent at boot too, which jives with the other symptoms.
Hope that helps!

This is one of those strange things ... any waterdamage signs?
I'm thinking try factory reseting from recovery (wipe everything), and then also flash stock JB I727UCMC1 using Odin.
That should rule out all of the software things we wonder.

I did these earlier, but had no luck. I did open the phone and have ordered a lower speaker assembly for $8. I didn't see any water damage in the lower half of the phone when I cracked it open. If this doesn't fix it, I may splurge and spend $6 to try the headphone jack. If THAT doesn't work, I'm going to part it out

If you part it out, I have a spare skyrocket with a broken screen so let me know

I have a TF101 ( B80KAS179xxx) and from a few days ago I couldn't replay any sound (speakers or headphones, even giving me the headphones connected information in the screen).
I tried to replay all kind of sounds (Youtube, MP3 file, etc) and the sound setup seems normal, with all the volume at the highest level.
As I were a root user using the original ROM from ASUS, I have successfully installed the latest KatKiss release for TF101 in order to check if it was a software/firmware problem.
Now, when I open youtube or any other app with sound it doesn't plays at all. Anyone can help me figure out how to solve this problem? It looks weird not to have sound from speakers and headphones.
Thanks for your help guys!

If there is still no sound even after flashing a new ROM then it's likely a hardware fault
Maybe something inside the headphone socket has broken and is disconnecting the speakers like it should when headphones are connected, but also not working for the headphones because it is damaged
Try pushing headphones in and out of the socket a few times fast to try free the moving connectors inside, or see if you can use a thin piece of plastic to make sure nothing is snapped or stuck inside the socket

Sory but I have explained myself wrong: the headphones connection indicator in only shown when I connect headphones (they don't even play any sound at all)
Is there any app or something that can be run in order to check if it is an hardware fault?
Yes I understand, but there could be a fault inside the headphone socket stoping the speakers working, I don't know of any apps that can look for hardware faults but as you have flashed a new ROM id say it is almost definitely hardware causing the problem unless you didn't wipe everything in recovery
Try wiping everything and flash a new rom 100% clean

Sometimes it gives me very short/brief crackling sounds in some events. There can Also exist some kind of motherboard/sOundcard problems no? Is this replaceable? Can i Also replace the headphone socket???
I've tried everything including:
reboot
flashing new rom
going completely stock
cleaning out the jack
plugging in and out different headphones.
I found one solution but its only a temporary one. i downloaded an app, SoundAbout, that forces my phone out of headphone mode, but i want a permanent fix. thanks for any help.

Sounds like a hardware problem, so probably best to simply RMA the device.
Headphone jack will sense when headphones are plugged in. It sounds like a hardware problem to me also

I had that issue pop up on my phone, it's either a glitch with your ROM or its hardware. Carefully try to clean any lint or dust out of the jack and see if that helps, if not then flash a known stable ROM and see if that helps, if neither help, consider RMA or repair/replace yourself if you're comfortable doing it
Edit: I had a brain fart when writing this, I saw that you said you tried going stock but for some reason ignored that point when writing this reply xD sorry
