Googling a bit about this, seem to be a very common problem in android devices, not only our port to mini.
Based on the suggestions and comments found in a thread on community.sprint.com, while listening to an mp3, I partially removed and re-inserted the plug but only till the middle of the jack 3,5'' hole. The audio seem to be stereo. The icon in the status bar shows headphones when it's in mono and a headset when it's stereo, but it's very hard to stay with the headset icon
According to someone in the thread, it's apparently due to "impedance" which in non-tech speak means there is circuitry in the phone that is checking to see if you have a headset or headphones plugged in and it's changing the output based on that.
I get full stereo with my original HTC headphones with phone mic!
The problem only happens on audio-only headphones.
This is related with my previous test plugging only the half of the connector.
Look at the two 3,5'' jack: Probably Android is getting the sound from the two rings closer to the wire.
- The HTC headset have three rings, probably use the iner two for both audio channels and outer one for the mic
- Another standard headphones only take the audio from one channel and sound mono
Could be possible to change the source of the channels to the two outer rings?
Toggleheadset is an aplication to change headphones to headset mode. It should solve the problem, but unfortunately doesn't seem to work with froyo
I donwnloaded from the market (toggleheadset2), installed but swithching it of/off don't change anything

I'm not 100% sure, but installing this widget seem to solve the problem. The switch on/off don't work but I have stereo now
I installed toogle headset and i think doesn't resolve the problem.
Looks like we have stereo in android only when android detect headset with mic. In other case , we have mono.
Tested with:
Sansung original headset with micro: android detect the micro and i have stereo.
HTC original with micro: android detect the micro and i have stereo.
3 headset without micro : I have mono but if i introduce the headset slowly and android thinks i have micro (The icon change) the sound change to stereo.
Regards

RADIO FM Works
To ear FM radio:
Go to WM
Conect your headset ( I tested it with 2 headset with micro: Original HTC and sansung)
Start fm radio in WM
With FM radio on , run haret
Start radio fm in android.
You can heart the FM radio without 5 seconds sound problem.
I think is the same problem as the stereo sound and mayby the fix will be the same.
Regards.
Hi,
My S5 is rooted. I would like to get my phone call audio from my bluetooth speaker but the speaker only supports stereo (a2dp) bluetooth profile.
Is there an app , fix, library which could do the audio routing from phone call to bluetooth stereo device ?
Thanks.
I'd appreciate any help. Even, "it's not possible" could give an idea. (Although, with a rooted device it should be possible, since we just wwant to redirect sound to another device)
no ideas anyone ?
