Weird problem, please help me!

Ok here's the story.
My Prophet is, well, an elderly.
I think it's like 5 year old.
I already had to replace touchscreen, battery and the rear speaker.
Anyway my problem now is that I don't have any sound.
Only when I recieve a call or text message I get a ringtone or notification.
Windows media player does not give sound, screen taps etc neither.
Only ringtones give sounds, through rear speaker.
Also when I get a call the earphone speakers doesn't work, the microphone does.
My earphone jack works perfectly so it isn't the audio chip that's broke.
So what i was thinking is that my phone thinks it's using an headset and redirects al sounds to my earphone jack. Only using the rear speaker for ringtones. (so maybe someone could confirm that the ringtone still rings when using an headset)
So does anybody know what the problem is or just help me on the way?
Regard, Paul

I doubt it's 5 years old! Maybe 2?...
Anyway, this is a common issue, the headphone jack is not 'releasing' the sound back to the speaker due to short / stuck connector switch. Blow down it or wiggle the plug.

ok, i was right about the headphone jack making the phone think that it was using headphones when it didn't.
I opened my phone and also opened the casing for the jackplug. I saw that a piecie op copper was bent to far and that it was causing to cancel a circuit wich made the phone think it was unsing no headphones.
When you plug in the headphones, the plug pushes away this copper piece and stops sound.
My solution was to bend the piece back so it makes contact again when the headphones are not plugged in.
Thank you for your advice, it's working great again.

[Q] Headphone Port Not Working Properly

So, recently, I've been having problems with my headphone jack. Issue is that the audio is all distorted and it sounds like some very bad surround sound setup. I've already tried switching roms and using different headphones. The problem is probably in the Jack itself. If I hold my headphone jack at the correct position with the right amount of pressure on it, the music comes out as it should. I've also tried blowing it out, still noting. What do you guys think I should do? I've seen some links on ebay for headphone jacks going around 20 dollars. I don't even know if it's worth it to repair my G2X as it also has a cracked digitizer.

if it's pressure related (and I don't know if it's possible), but have you checked the solder-joints where the jack is mounted to the pcb?

Or clean the Jack with some compressed air.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I did try cleaning the jack with Compressed air already and nothing changed. I'm going to guess it's something wrong with the solder joins. I ordered a new Headphone Jack and power button combination and also a new digitizer from eBay. Hopefully, they'll arrive and I can replace that part. Thank god the Headphone port isn't mounted to the motherboard of this phone! Atleast LG knows how to build a phone well (Except for the screen bleeding)

Audio Issues with Charger Plugged In

Hey guys,
I've heard all about the audio issues people have been having with output through an AUX cable and I have yet to test that. However, I have another issues where noise/hissing is introduced when I have headphones in and the charger is plugged in. It's especially prominent when not playing audio, but still having the headphones plugged in. I believe it is something to do with the poor grounding of the 3.5mm jack, so I am currently contemplating returning this device.
I was wondering if any of you guys can reproduce this issue or did I get a bad unit?

Could be poor grounding on the jack, but more likely is the Charger is introducing noise into the phone itself. lowerend chargers have this problem more often than others, or it could be something else plugged into your power strip per say. Since the phone has no "real" grounding to "earth" all noise from your outlet ie house also flows through the device.
I did a lot of research on this with my Skyrocket cause it was annoying to have that hum... ended up buying a grounding powerstrip to fix it. hope this helps a little..

I have tried with the LG charger and the charger that came with my S3 and both cause noise in the G3. Although I haven't tested it with a grounded powerstrip, I have never had this issue on my Galaxy S3. What I have tested is plugging in the charger to a powerstrip and an outlet in the wall and both cause the noise in the G3.
If you have a G3, are you able to reproduce this issue with yours?

Okay so i just used like 4 chargers, 3 sets of buds and 1 set of over ear headphones and 2 outlets. I can't get my G3 to make any noises what so ever except the slight hiss (only while playing music) with the over the ear headphones, but from what i read elsewhere i think it might have something to do with the in-line volume control.

Hmm, that probably means that I got a bad unit then. I have tried with a set of of Beyerdynamic DT770s, my stock S3 earbuds, and Klipsch S3 earbuds. Since the DT770s have a higher impedance (80 ohms), I hear practically no noise. However, I hear a ton of noise with both of the earbuds. You think I should go get a replacement?

Don't know your set up but i would take it buy the store and ask to "test" it on another unit and see... something seems amiss for sure..

I notice that the noises become more prominent whenever I do something with the touchscreen. Definitely seems like a grounding issue with the phone itself... Can you try your test again and see if your phone makes electrical noises when using the touchscreen?

Earphone/Headphone Problem (not recognizing)!!!!

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
(sorry cannot paste to pastebin ,since it exceeds max size limit)
Device:-XT1033
ROM:-AICP (happened with diff roms in the past too)
kernel:-hurtsky(again happened with another diff kernel in the past)

@matmutant
sorry to tag u here
i can think of nobody else when it comes to hardware probs
since u have knowledge about it

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?

Headphone Jack Issue

Hello,
A few days ago my earphones were working fine in my lenovo P2 but then one day it started to produce muffled sound.
I pulled the headphone jack up a little bit and after some twists only the right side was producing normal music. The headphones are working fine in computer and tried some other headphones also but the problem persists. I even tried the headphones that came with the phone but they are also having the same issue. The strange thing is that my other headphone Sennheiser HD 203 (I think it is one ring jack while the other headphones are 4 ringed) is working fine in it. What could be the issue.
Thanks

I also had the muffuling issue.
I had the issue from the stock ROM only, then went to Oreo but it was still their thou my fix was simple.
I flashed the lineage os 7.1.2 provided by @Wonder Wicked Witch and the problem is gone....do try this BTW everything is working on the ROM.
So do try it.I am currently using it.

I suggest a Hardware caused problem.
Check for collections of dust, hair and other debris that got stuck in the headphone jack. Use pliers to get it out.
Because "normal" headphones work fine and ones that go deeper in (with mic or controls ) don't, I really suggest you check that, because all the dust gets stuffed in to the end of the port, so jacks that aren't as long won't have any issue.

Hi. I have a audio problem in my Lenovo p2. The audio is very bad when using a normal earphones, but when I use an Universal earphones like Ubon etc etc., it has the setting in it which makes the audio good. The big problem is that I cannot use any other normal earphones instead I have to use universal earphones like UBON universal earphones. Please help me out with this. I have tried factory reset also many times, the issues is still the same.
