PROBLEM:
Essentially my phone has stopped recognising when headphones have been plugged in, but the headphone port isn't broken since it plays audio through both the speakers and the headphones at the same time. I recognize that this might be a hardware problem, so I'm just looking for a temporary fix. Ideally a small app that allows me to toggle where the sound is played through.
SPECS:
Rooted android 4.4
Cubot s308
ALREADY TRIED:
Checked headphone port for dust/debris using a light, wiggled inside with a cotton bud and so on
Tried a few apps, notably 'sound about' which doesn't actually change anything
Other headsets - all I have tried have the same issue, so its not a headset issue
All other posts I can find are where the headphone out is permanently on, or where the port just doesn't work, so any help would be apreciated.

I hope I am posting in right section. When I stream audio from gtab to prius's Bluetooth multimedia,everything works as expected. However, after disconnecting from car's Bluetooth, sound doesn't come out from gtab's internal speakers. Turning off Bluetooth on grab doesn't help either. I tried different permutations and combinations of stopping music from grab and turning off Bluetooth before turning of car etc. I have to reboot in order to get audio from internal speakers. I had the same behavior with tnt lite 2.2 as well.
Could any one think of possible solution or work around?
plug in and then unplug your earphones. That should restore the speakers. Known hardware bug

Sorry for replying late but I got my hands on my wife's car only today. I confirm that inserting and removing headphones we restore volume from internal speakers

Unfortunately, this didn't fix my issue on my dinc w/ cm7
Here is my problem, I connect my phone to my car radio using a speaker cord connected to the headphone jack of the phone which works great. Problem is when I try to then make a call using my Q2 bluetooth headset. I can make the call, but it reverts back to the car speakers and not through the bluetooth device and the microphone on the bluetooth doesn't work either. It uses the samsung microphone.
Is this a setting issue, or do I need to unplug the speaker cord from the headphone jack every time I try to make a call?
Just found another similar thread. Still no answers?

I too would like to know if there is a way to make it work. so far the only thing that works is unplugging the cable to talk on bluetooth. which is kinda defeats the purpose of hands free. I am rooted and still can't find a solution. if you find any hack please post it here!
one other way is to buy a BT receiver that has audio and phone, but i kinda want to keep my integrated one.

Found it today. I was reviewing a post and poster (cant remember who!) mentioned he had a defective headset and used SoundAbout from the playstore to fix it. That got me curious, so I opened the app description and found that it would help with our problem. I downloaded the free version then the paid version $2.99 and it works. I am so happy you can not imagine. care the settings that worked for me:
Headset Plug in/out, checked.
Headset microphone, checked.
Notification Audio, checked.
Media audio, wired headphones
Bluetooth behavior, Bluetooth disconnected, checked
Bluetooth Auto Enable, checked
Phone call audio, Wired Headphones (but keeps reverting back to "Let Phone Decide" for some reason!)
I will email the developer and see if he has a solution and post back, but this is not a show stopper by any means.
Buy the paid version and enjoy the SG3 the way it should have worked out of the box.

Hi there!
Has anyone experienced any headphones compatibility issues? I have dropped the idea of using stock headphones as I find them way behind any different pair that I own. The problems start when I plug the jack into my P8 and put it inside a pocket. It seems that when the jack moves just slightly around the socket, the phone goes crazy changing the volume, randomly stopping the playback or launching some kind of speech assistant. It happens so frequently, that I am not able to listen to a single song on the device.
I am using a pair of Cresyn C520S headphones with a single button and a mic built in the set - they have the exact same size and type of jack as my stock P8 ones.
There was no problem when I plugged a regular, no mic, no remote control, Sennheiser headphones.
As for the software, I am on branded Polish B200 OS and am using the full version of Poweramp (god! this is such a great player!) and a streaming service app Tidal with the premium pack allowing me to listen to music offline from my devices.
Please tell me this is not an issue with my new device, but rather a hardware compatilibity issue. If so, then which headphones could I buy to make it all comfy? Do I need to look for the ones that are made for iPhone (I know they do have a three button remote attached)?
Is anyone else having issues with the audio jack getting fuzzy? I think it might just be my cable but I don't have another one to test it with...
Only if I use mine while it's charging
You need to turn on UHQ upscaler while the aux cable is connected to your phone. It's definitely not your cable, I bought a new one from mono and still had the problem. Searched online and found out about UHQ setting.
To find it go to settings, sounds, sound quality and effects( near the bottom under advanced). It will be greyed out unless you have a wire connected to your phone.

I found that out too. But the sound turns like **** when it is on.
Mine doesn't work at all. It just stopped working all of a sudden. Not sure what's wrong with it.
I had a fault on mine whereby the sound decreased (and the quality) as I turned up the volume. Samsung exchanged it no problem.
Hello!
I can't use my phone's earpiece speaker during calls because the phone insists that a headphone is connected to the headphone jack, despite the fact that the 3.5mm jack is already removed from the device (had a repairman remove it for me).
Apps that should do the trick work only halfway (it reroutes media audio but not in call audio. I have to put it on speaker mode everytime I do a call.)
So, the question is, can I disable wired headset detection on my device using build.prop or any method that tweaks the OS itself? My phone's rooted, btw.
Thanks in advance!
@BsofBordeaux Did you find answer for your question?
Did you get it fix ?
