No sound, PLEASE HELP

Well i just switched from Core 2.0 to Faria's Rom kitchen and i no longer have any sound coming out of my phone. The volume is all the way up, and i was having the same problem with Core 2.0. Is there any way to fix this as now i cant make any calls or hear any of my music. Please HELP. The weird thing is though, that when i plug in my headphones sound works. But it seems my speakers are not working. If anyone knows how to fix this please help. When i make a phone call it wont allow me to turn on my speaker. Another Problem im having is my screen keeps turning all white after a while of no use if the keyboard is not slightly out. is there a way to fix this too.

Greets,
I think you need a softreset, if it doesnt help a hardreset, and if it doesnt help flash a OEM rom, and if it doesnt help than a service center.
Do let us know which of the option helped you.

Well when it wasnt working in Xplore 2.0 i switched to Faria's hoping it would work. so i went to the official T-Mobile 2.26 ROM and then to Faria's but it still doesnt work. My sound works sometimes when people call me but i cant hear them and they cant hear me when i pick up.

Alright its working, i really didnt do anything. I just put the headphones in and let a song play for a little, then in the middle of the song, at full volume i pulled the headphones out and now sound is working. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Yes it happens some time, thats y i said to softreset first.

I have the exact same problem. The phone speaker/mic don't work, it doesn't play music or audio files, but when the phone rings it plays that. Using a wired headset is the only way I can use the phone. (Bluetooth seems to have stopped working as well, no idea if it is related.) I have tried soft reset, downgrading to standard rom, upgrading to various other roms, nothing. I have also noticed when on a call, pressing the speaker phone button does nothing, like it is turned off. Any help is greatly appreciated, also anyone else with similar problems, please describe as well so as to give more information for a fix.

speaker problem with me too
Yea, I have the same problem with my MDA Vario. Just started happening, something to do with the headphone jack I think? Headphones work fine but the phone doesn't recognise that the headphones are out and continues to work as though they were in? Anyone have any ideas for a solution?

[Q] bluetooth headphones skip on music play

so hey i just got some "rocketfish" headphones.
i have them charged and they are working perfect with my ipad..
but when i play music on my phone thru them or just tap thru the menu to go somewhere it skips.playing music it skips 2wice every second. and when i tap it takes a second to respond and echos like. could it be the rom? which im using MIUI currently. but i have no idea. if anyone has any suggestions PLEASE - let me knw, and how to fix it

MIUI and CM7 both have the same partially working bluetooth issue, there are no ETA on when it will get fixed. If you want to use your headset, then you will need to flash a samsung based rom.

Yea it is. I flashed the doctors rom yesterday. It was good. But I like miui rom better because it's more customizable. And it works with volume + the one that boosts the main speaker. But anyway thanks. I flashed the latest version of the rom. Hopefully. It'll fix the bt issue.

Cyanogenmod 7.1: stock headset mic not working

Hi everyone
I have a HTC Desire S with CyanogenMod 7.1 Stable and ClockworkMod as recovery. Everything is great except for my stock htc desire s headset.
When I insert the headset the headset is registered (showing a small icon with headset+mic) but the microphone is not working. It is not working in calls and not working in other apps (for example Sound Recorder which comes with CGM). The internal microphone in the telephone however remains active during calls. The microphone is working hardware wise, I use the headset with my laptop.
I am aware of this topic: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...headset microphone__fromsearch__1#entry237827
But I have a different phone and I am already using CGM 7.1 and just using 7.1 hasn't fixed my problem
Are anyone aware of any fixes / workarounds for this? Maybe some nightly builds which fixes it or similar?
Side note:
It also turns out that only one earplug is working (like mono sound) when using the headset in a call. Both works perfectly when using the Music-app wich comes with CGM.
Best regards
Wuhtzu

Could it be that the htc desire s stock headset uses a proprietary driver only included with htc sense or similar?
Best regards
Wuhtzu

I have same problem with u dude, but sometimes headset n mic work fine. I don't have any idea 4 that.
If that happened I just reboot my desire s n hope the problem is gone.
Sorry 4 my bad english

Could you be persuaded to try and report the result back? Plug in the stock headset with mic, note which icon is displayed (earphones or headset), try the headset in an app (Sound Recorder for example) and try the headset in a phone call.

im sorry for not being able to try now, but as i recall it works fine, just the icon that appears is for earphones with no mic, although i have the stock headset plugged in , but when i reboot with the headset plugged in the icon displayed is the one for a headset (with mic icon)
probably just a rom issue, not a big deal since the mic works

The problem persisted for me with the Cyanogenmod 7.1. I however never tried to reflash 7.1, which some people claimed would fix the problem. So that I will never know for sure.
I do however know that CGM 7.2 RC1 is here now and that upon first boot after 7.2 flashing my stock headset works as expected.
The icons ect. are the same as described vigorously in the original post. Only difference is that now the microphone actually works.
Thumbs up to 7.2 and the CGM team!

SOLVED for me!
Not sure if it is the same issue, as sometimes when I plug the headset only the headphones icon appears (the one without a mic icon) and sometimes the headset icon appears (the icon WITH a mic) and the mic works.
IT IS SOLVED now! turned out that when I plug the headset socket SLOWLY the mic DOES NOT WORK, but when I plug it FAST ENOUGH the mic works perfectly and the headset icon appears.
Hope this would help you out

Tab, utter!, Google now, and wired headphones problem

Hello,
Has anyone had luck using the app utter and wired headphones (no mic) on the tab? I can get the app to work flawlessly with a bt headset, or over speakers, but when I use wired headphones, after the app starts listening I lose all sound. Music, nothing. Problem goes away when I unplug headphones. Tried three different roms, all fresh installs with only the apps required for utter to work.
I have a Galaxy Nexus that doesn't have this problem. I'm starting to think it might be a hardware problem.
Can anyone provide any insight? Or at least tell me if they are having the same issue or not?
Thank you.

The only reason I don't accept that yet is because it works until it asks me to talk and starts listening. Google Now does the same thing. It looks like the audio stream gets confused. With no headphones plugged in, I hear the beep signalling me to start talking. When I use the headphones, I never hear the beep. And again, everything goes back to normal when I unplug the headphones. I can even start the process without headphones, plug headphones in halfway through the tablet talking to me, and hear everything fine, UNTIL it starts listening again.
I don't know much about the software side. Could this be a kernel issue? Being as now I know it's not just the Utter! app, but also Google Now.

I've tried it on espresso, lean kernel, and CM's kernel. I don't get why the audio stream gets muted or changed on the tablet, but it works perfect on my phone.

Audio jack detection issue since MM upgrade

Hello there.
Since updating to MM I have the following issue on my Z5: When inserting headphones or an aux cable, the phone switches back and forth between headphones and speaker for a couple of seconds, before finally settling on headphones and playing as it should. This is a problem because I have a Tasker task that relies on headphone detection and now it doesn't work properly.
I had the issue with the small apps after upgrading, so I already did a system reset, which solved the small apps issue, but not the headphones issue.
Already tried disabling SmartConnect and booting in SafeMode. No luck.
There is apparently another person with this issue on the Sony forums, so I'm not the only one.
Anyone know a solution?
Cheers,
Alex

I have the same issue, but only with the aux cable. When I connect my earphone, everything seems to be fine. So I think maybe the phone has some issue with one particular model of aux input? because there are several type of aux plug now.

I have had this problem with other Z series phones but not the Z5 yet.
As reported above my phone when I plug just headphones stereo only (two contact plug) into the phone gives me an ear icon for headphone optimisation and with an automatic headphones actions.
If I plug a headset in (three contact plug) I get additional headset options, plus automatic headset actions.
My guess is you have a conflict with the Sony built in functionality and the Takser task you mention.
@xperia z3 I have only had this happen previously if my headphone hadn't fully located in the headphones jack

So, how can this be fixed?

my guess would be try to disable any apps trying to hijack the sonys built in process and see if that fixes the issue

I have done a system repair through PC Companion and the problem is still there, on a fresh setup, with no 3rd party apps. I'll wait a while to see if there's an update that might fix this, if not I'll have to send the phone in. Luckily I bought it in late December, so I have still time to use my warranty.
Edit: Oh, and the issue with the small apps is still there, I have found out that it's caused by active accessibility settings, in my case tasker, but others have that same problem with other apps.

i'm dealing with the same exact thing. i did a factory reset, and it still persists. at first i thought it was hardware, then i installed soundabout. when i force output through wired headset they work fine leading me to believe this is software related. really frustrating, not sure what else to do.
