I will try to explain a question that has arisen me. It will be difficult because English is not my native language so I apologize in advance
My question is... can i use my phone android with headphones connected but the phone does not detect? That is to have them connected but the phone believes are not.

By not detecting, do you mean that audio, is still going through the phone's speakers, even though you have properly connected your headphones?
(By properly, I mean pushing them firmly onto the jack, since usually they do some sort of click when they are properly inserted.)
If that is the case, then try using another pair of headphones.
If they work, your headphones are either incompatible with your device (in which case your phone should be telling you that the pair of headphones you have connected are incompatible), or that your headphones are broken(which you can test by connecting them onto another device and testing them, they probably shouldn't work).
If you try some other pairs of headphones on your device and none of them works, your jack may be faulty.
I mean that the fm transmitter tells me to disconnect the headphones and it doesn't work with headphones, but without headphones does not work correctly.. i don't know if i explain... thanks for your answer
Just try another pair of headphones and tell us whether they work or not.
That will help quite a bit

Is it possible? sometimes i am walking through the street without the headphone, wanting to hear FM, and i cant...
does anybody know a way?
Wavelengths from radiostations are like a foot or more in length.. so you need an antenna thats atleast a foot or so to pick up those radio waves.
The phone uses the earphones as a antenna, so I guess you have to have it to pickup those waves.
mmm... well just have your headphones, conect them, and place them on your shoulder hanging to your back (it can be inside your clothes so no body see it) and put the phone on speaker (or what ever that its called on the radio program)
anyways the phone doesnt sounds too high, are you going to be able to hear it??

Yea the FM volume is too low to listen outdoors. Anyone has figured out a fix? I don't have that problem with Sling player.
I don't know why, but lately I put the usb>3.5mm converter in my phone and started up the radio, and it worked!
The signal wasn't as strong as with the headset plugged in, but it was decent to say the least. Only stations that already have bad reception don't work (naturally).
So yes, it is possible.

i always listen to stuff (audio and video) using a bt headset after converting all sound to it. i use a software called "bt audio" for that purpose. so, if anybody can find a way to receive fm reception without the headset, that'll be great.

Strange, it doesn't work with my Fuze. I have to still plug in a 3.5mm headphone to get it to work.
Anything change in the registry when you put that in?
It doesn't matter if anything changes in the registry or not. Do this: find an FM radio like one of those cheesy little things with the collapsable antenna. Take off the antenna and then see how many stations you can get. If you don't want to put forth the effort, the answer is "None". There's no difference. No antenna means no stations, period. It also seems that you can't just jam any old USB connector in there, also.
Well, my usb converter is very small and cheap, so I'm sure there's no antenna in there. But still my radio works fine with the converter inserted
It makes no sense, but it works.

I just stick my stylus in my 3.5mm jack and it thinks it has headphones, but the some stations are still weak
What about the TV Out cable?
I have a HTC original TV out cable as long as the headset cable. Does anyone know how to trick the device to see it as an antena for the FM radio? Thank you.
Confirmed - My fuze running Romeos latest ROM works with a simple 3 inch long mini headphone jack (2.5mm) adapter without any headphones. Works great on loudspeaker.

Same here, I plug in my chinese 3.5mm adapter and the radio works so obviously it doesn't need anything for an antenna. Someone must patch that software to get the FM to work without plugging in anything.

Actually that 3.5mm adapter has copper wire in it. Even though it's a short length, the phone still uses it as an antenna. Plug in a pair of headphones and you will see an increase of signal.
you can change the headset state in the registry and i ran the program with it like that and saw that i got signal but no sound was coming out.
The only way i can think of not using ANY headset would be a hardware hack to add some length of antenna to the USB port.
It's really down to physics.. here's a link for TV's: http://www.hdtvprimer.com/ANTENNAS/siting.html
You may be able to get some signal from a few cm of antenna, chances are you're not getting a very good one.

Could you tell me please where in the registry is the key for the headset state ?!
sure thing. its at hklm\system\state\hardware\headset. change to 1 to make it think you have headphones plugged in.
Hi,
How is it possible to force all sounds to go the headphone jack and not to the speaker ?
I would like to be certain that the music I am playing on my Windows Mobile phone is going through the headphone.
Why? because sometimes I accidentally remove the headphone jack from the phone and the music is then going loudly out of the speaker of the phone !! very annoying !
Chris
Take the phone apart, check by the headphone socket for how it detects a jack is inserted. On my old iPaq the jack moved a tab inside it breaking the circuit to the rear speaker. If memory serves, the speaker wasn't soldered in, it fitted a socket, pretty sure one of my older phones was like that too.
Of course it'd make your device useless as a phone without a working speaker, and you could end up destroying your phone completely.
Try looping a rubber band around your phone and the headphone jack to keep it in place, or just be more careful, or get bluetooth headphones
I don't want to physically remove the speaker of my phone. I find the speaker very useful when talking at home talking to people.
The problem is that I don't want the speaker to be used when I am listening music on the phone.
So the solution would have to be a software one.
chris
bluetooth headset or rubber band are your best bets then.

What do you mean by bluetooth headset ? If I put my mobile phone in bluetooth headset, would it solve the problem ?

Ye it will cause you cant accidentally pull it out cause it doesnt use the jack, but negativ is that it drains battery and i think its much, and if the battery on the bluetooth headset dies i think that it stil will think its on so it doesnt use the speaker, so thats the best solution, i dont think people here can make a hack for that cause i think its to advance, hasnt been a issue before and even if no one has made a hack. so i think its the best and maybe only solution. sorry my english hope it helpt
edit: hope you know that you need to use a bluetooth headset, and you cant just make the choice on the phone without use a real headset
So I will look with a bluetooth headset. True it drains more battery and this kind of headset needs to be power charged (so easy to forget )

Interesting ! that's exactly what I want ?
and can you return to speaker mode ?
I was hoping someone could clear this up for me.
I'm having trouble using other than stock earphones. Others don't work, or the music player glitches...
I've noticed the HTC ones have 4 sections while others i've checked have 3.
Googled it and found that 4 sections means it's a TRRS connector and 3 means TRS. So does this mean I can't use anything other than TRRS?? Do I need to buy an adapter?
Thanks!
I have some cheap headphones and they work well.
Also, you dont need the TRRS connector.
Look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS_connector
all mine worked
creative, sony, standard line-in cable...
you could try hardresetting it..
otherwise it could be a hardware fault.
DN41
Thanks for replys all!
Still i'm confused, as the stock player fasts forward like 3x speed sometimes when I plug them in. Could this be a hardware fault on jack or just a software issue?
just try a different player and you´ll know
If your phone skips/forwards/stops/plays at random when you have your own headphones plugged in, try installing headset blocker from market.
Worked like a charm, now I don't have those problems anymore

Thats exactly what I thought might cause this issue.
I've searched everywhere for some answers to this and haven't had any luck.
I received my Nexus S 4G on Monday and have generally enjoyed the phone aside from the signal issues that have been addressed at Sprint's forums. I've recently discovered an issue with my headphone jack, though. Sound will only come out of my headphones when I am using the music player or music-related apps (Pandora for streaming). However, when I play videos from YouTube or the recently released Netflix app the sound is routed to my phone's speakers instead of the headphones that are plugged into the phone.
I've tried 2 different headphones and I can confirm both work when connected to my iPod and PC so I know it's not the headphones.
Any possible solutions? Should I get the phone replaced?
I had this problem with a specific pair of headphones. solution: make sure the headphones are in all the way. Seriously for some reason that pair have a second stage of "in" so they were not actually plugged in when i thought they were.

Seriously? I should've known I was doing something wrong. Both sets I tried have that same thing with the second stage of "in" or whatever it is. Anyway, that totally did the trick. Thank you so much!
I feel embarrassed
This is a strange problem i am facing
it started unexpectedly
the problem over here is that my phone is not able to recognize between earphones and speaker after connecting earphones
dont know whats the problem over here is
the earphones would work at first and then all of a sudden it stops to recognize it
this happened with two of my earphones (no earphone problem cause they work with other phones
is anybody else experiencing this problems?
after trying to figure out what is happening i opened up audio fx to see if its creating problems and this is what i saw
as u can see in the video above the phone is not connected to any earpiece
at 0.02 i connect the earphones and for just a second it recognizes the earphone and then keeps switching between headset and speaker mode
then the video contains various attempts of connecting earphones and getting the same result
Heres a logcat https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B--cxicb-CQGS2J1blVmUnVkNGM&authuser=0

hmmm, ok,
Are they "simple" earphones ==> ones that doesn't have any call/music/volume triggers
Did you tried with the AUX-IN of a HiFi installation (with a jack-audio cable plugged to the AUX-IN of it)
Did you tried Apple vs non-apple earphones (the ground and microphones rings on the jack are usually reversed)
What i know about jack port is only that impedance is important for phones : that's the way the earphones are detected and how the triggers work when there are some.
At first read i have no idea about your problem, but it might be a dirty port OR an issue with the controller

1>No they are not simple earphones
2>no never tried using AUX-IN on moto g
3>No,no apple earphones were connected to it
the earphones that i used here was from samsung and karbonn(a local brand,that is)
these two earphones used to work with my phone but all of a sudden it stopped!!
inserting them sometimes gives a repeated sound of distortion(cant explain that ....but theres some noise)
Im having the same problem! It's definitely a phone issue... Thing is, I used it with my hudl brand aux cable and that works just fine with the phone but my headphones won't? (I don't know if this inf helps or hinders but I figured it might be important)

So apparently it works better with two-ring headphones, ones that don't have any play/pause buttons or microphones built in? Turns out my headphones have 3 rings on the jack. So apparently, i just have to buy a whole new pair of headphones that only have 2 rings but I don't see why I should spend anymore money just because Motorola ****ed up?
