how to deactivate the Headphone jack? - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Accessories

Hi,
does anyone has an idea how to deactivate the headphone jack in wm 6.1?
I wand to do so because sometimes the issue occurs that my prohpet is in "headset mode" but i do not have a headphone in the jack. Once this issues occurred i insert my headset BUT it´s already trash and so i do want to buy a new one?
Last time i solved the problem by reflashing. It takes time BUT i work.
Even soft resets didn´t help.
Thanks.
CHeers,

Hi Ronlion.
I've had that problem myself and I solved it by moving my stylus around in the headphone jack. It seems that it had got stuck in headphone-mode, thats a hardware-issue and not related to the OS.
I got the tip from Qtek-support and it worked for me.
I hope it will fix your problem, if it doesn't I'll try and find the mail they sent me and I'll paste it here for detailed instructions.
Cheers,
HermitoZ

i have had the same problem and the stylus is the perfect to resolve it push on the pins in the jack my problem was at the last pin from up side to donw side all the best

Help I have No sound (fixed)

I have got this weird problem with my Qtek 9090, I can’t hear a thing from the speaker except incoming calls??? And there’s no sound when I pick up and no one hear me on the other side unless I use the headset or the Bluetooth headset, everything works great then even playing music !??
I tried with few other rom, but no success! I even tried with WM5
Could this have anything with the headset plug? Cuse when the headset is plugged (in normal case) you can only hear incoming calls from the phone!
Remove your bluetooth profile(s), and do a soft reset.
I have the same problem after I used bluetooth.

dude, thanks for trying to help, but you should know better. flashing with a new rom erase everything including the the BT profile. I still think the problem is the headset jack.

This is telling me that you DID install the bluetooth again, and so you have a bluetooth profile, what is causing the no sound problem!
I have exactly the same problem as you.. When I remove the bluetooth profile all is working fine again.. that is.. untill I set it up again, and use it.. Than the SAME problem is back.
thank alot , but still got the problem even with the BT-profile removed, I have to use the wired headset to be able to hear anything
Problem Solved :lol: :lol: :lol:
I Opened the damn thing and took a look at the 2,5mm jack and guess what, it was broken ( I remember dropping the phone once for a week ago), I just removed it ( I don’t use the headset but I need the speaker), and everything is loud and clear now,
and with a Sprite Backup file I’m back now :twisted:
!!!?
I have such problem, but I think it really barbarian means of solving problem.
Is there any cleaner way?

I read in another post somewhere that there is a microswitch in/near the headphone jack that switches off the sound to the speaker. Apparently, if it sticks, you poke a paper clip in and twiddle it about and you'll free it.
no sound form jasjar
having same problem. poked around with paperclip and all that, but still no sound. dont need headphone jack because hoping to use latest a2dp hack form latest rom for jasjar to be able to use BT headset. will removing headphone jack affect using BT headphones? need external sound.
I also have a similar problem - when in phone mode, other side can hear me but i cannot hear them, if i plug a headset with microphone the other side hear me and i also have sound from other side.
if i unplug the headset, i cannot hear the other side but the other side can hear me.
are there microswitches inside the headset plug for both microphone and speaker (two microswitches) ?
thanks, yol.
just got my jasjar back after having cracked lcd and headphone jack replaced. sent to http://www.pocketpctechs.com out of california as suggested by very helpful user on this site. cost me around $20 dollars and took only a day to fix. works fine now!
My O2 XDA IIs is behaving rater unusally. For a while I've had the problem that many people have reported where I can hear nothing during a call but the other person can hear me. This could be remedied by a soft reset. However now, no amount of resets seem to fix the problem.
The baffling thing is though that the speaker hardware would appear to be working as MediaPlayer still plays music out of it and the phone still rings etc. However no sound what so ever comes through the 2.5mm socket now, from either a call or from MediaPlayer.
What on earth can I do to fix it?

Guys, are your problem similar to mine? My problem is that the speaker is not working even though playing mp3. I thought it was radio problem, so flashing new rom also doesnt help. It is really the headphone jack cause the problem? When i flash to new rom, the speaker works, but after the auto config, the speaker doesnt even sound.
Please advise me on this. Thank in advance

Help me please, no sound in P525!!

Hello, I have an ASUS P525, since yesterday, there is no sound in my machine and I'm going crazy. Sometimes, the sounds of the system (screen tap, voices of TomTom, the sound of Media Player) dissapears but I repaired it doing a soft reset. Since yesterday, this soluction doesn't repair the sound. I have done a hard reset and nothing. Even I have tried to reinstall the 3.32 WWE version I have still there is no sound.
If I connect the earphones of ASUS to the jack, all goes good. Theres is sound of TomTom, the Media Player goes and the screen tap, alarms, all. I have installed all the patches of BT, radio 4.5 and WWE 3.32.
I think there is a software problem and not a hardware problem (loudspeaker cable disconnected) becouse when I receive a call, it sounds. But if I hang up this call I can't speak and the other person doesn't hear me. However, if I go to sound systems and play the sound of an incomming call, there is no sound.
When I have reinstall the firmware, I think that the installer Galaxy haven't reinstall the files becouse only have read the Galaxy.cap. I think this becouse there is the same version. I don't want to install French version becouse once I've install it I can't go back to the Enchlis version.
Please, help me, thanks, Goyo.

Are you sure about that?
This is a faulty 2.5mm headset connector on the PDA
You have shorted contacts in the "headset inserted" detection switch, making PDA permanently in headset mode.
Since this is a hardware fault, dont bother updating software etc. Basically you have two options:
1) Insert/remove headset jack several times. Sometimes it makes dislodged switch contacts properly work again.
2) Replace the unit.
Ingvarr is right, it's a common problem to all PDA audio jack
I have had this problem on the xdaII. If you insert a damaged headset plug into the jack it can screw up the sequence of pins detected as it slides in. It is not as simple as putting a new one in and out (unless your very lucky). I had to get a wire and poke it in there and play with shorting the connectors in different sequences. It took a while but when I got the "magic" combination it went back to normal (and the faulty headset went in the bin).
warning: That device totally lost its ability to make sound without the headset about 1 year later. It may or may not have had something to do with what I did, but if you are worried then take it too a repair shop.
Very thanks to all, I was getting crazy trying several options to solve the problem. In fact, the PDA sounds when a call is entering but I can't take the call becouse I don't hear nothing and the other person doesn't hears me. Yesterday, I was trying to put the headset jack in and out becouse I thought that the problem is whith this (I have read your post now). Another thing about this problem is when I put the headset, the Voice Dialler starts up automatic so the problem is in the jack, you are in the truth...
This night I'll try to put in out the headset in the jack to solve the problem becouse now I haven't the headset with me.
I have sound!!! I have inserted a metalic pin in the jack and the PDA sounds fully of sound... Thanks a lot to all of you, I'm very happy. I was very since friday.

!! Merci !!
I had the very same problem with the sound on the P525
I thought the speakers were KO
But after reading your thread, I insert a wood match in the jack, while playing music. The sound came back instantantly.
Looooooooool
This stuff is so easy !!!
(I did use too a bad 2,5jack some weeks ago, but the sound disapears weeks later...)
Thanks for the help
i saw this problem b4
i had xda2 mini and i had this problem ,so i send it back to O2 .and they send me a new one.after a while i got the same problem ,so i knew that the 2.5 to 3.5 is faulty ,so i got another new pda from o2 .
now i have asus p525 and i dont wanna experiance this again .i am using the original headset only.
BTW the XDA2 mini had better sound and louder then the asus on 2.5 and 3.5 headsets.
I had the same problem but reading your post i resolved, only 1 thing is still bad.
during a call if i try to press the boutton (in the touch screen) speaker on or off nothing happens. i don't know what to do. someone can help me writing where in the registry i have to check if is it all ok?
sorry for my bad english.

sorry for bumping such a old thread, just recently my p525 is F*cked up again, after removing the headset from the put there's no sound. so i thought it was the old problem, but then i've notice everytime i remove or insert my headset, the voice command would pop up, and no matter how many times i insert/remove the headset the music won't come back on, i've updated it to wm6, anyone have a clue of what's going on?
Same problem
BUt i rezolved inserting inside HF jack a stick of wood, and rotating him. After that , surprise my sound comme back to life.
Hi guys!
I've just suck now with my p525, cause I tried to solder the 2.5 jack slot out of the mainboard, but the sound did not come back
Any hint?
There is no software solution for that???
I wonder if any still has the p525 in hand. The mute speaker is really a defect of the 2.5 mm jacket that I have just resolved. My way is simple: dissemble the phone until the 2.5 mm jacket is exposed, then make a relatively big hole with a lighter heated screwdriver enough to reveal the copper plates that contact with the head of earphone. With a tiny tool or anything, move the copper plates "away from the wall". Done!
Loss of the elastic recoil of the plates is the cause of a mute speaker, not a dective earphone, I think.

Headphone and Speaker work simultaneously

Dear experts,
Sorry if this question was answered before, but I've been searching through the threads and couldn't find one..
I have a WM5 Orange Artemis (SPV M650) and I'm facing the following issue: when I play music with WMPlayer I get sound both through the phone speaker and the usb headphones. This is the same case with a friend of mine having the same device.
Probably there is some sort of a software solution to this problem, since with the already-installed FM radio application there is a button you can use to activate the speaker or to redirect sound through the headphones only.
Now I'm not able to use my phone as a music player due to this problem so any help will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Had this problem before, open up the volume slider part of the earphones with a small screwdriver (push on the plastic tabs that hold the 2 sides together) and separate the wires going into and out of it, I found some were crossing and moving them apart sorted it fine!
Hope this helps...
Thanks for yr reply Pjtheman, I will try this, though I will keep wondering if it were a matter of crossed wiring, why it works fine with the radio application!!
I'll open the headphones slider and see what I can find..
yours, Ksu
I've just opened the headphones slider and found that all the wires were duly isolated from each other..
Perhaps a solution to this problem is to install advanced volume controls that can mute and control the volume of the earphones and the speaker independantly. Does such application exist??
Thanks for yr help.

Guys,
Has anyone here experienced the same problem?? Am I the only one? Would you pls try and tell me if you have the same problem? Thanks for your help..

[Q] Problem with headphone connector

When I connect headphones or a cable between headphone connector and a sound system it seems the phone don't recognize it. If I try to start the FM-radio I got a message telling "Headphone required To listen to FM radio you must plug in headphones to the headphone jack."
If I start webradio or something else that plays music I get the sound from the built in speaker instead of the connected item.
If I restart the phone it works again but onlt for some time(a few hours) and I don't know what or when it fails again.
It feels like a software problem but I'm not sure at all.
Anyone that have a clue what I can do to get rid of this most irritating fault?
(The phone is equipped with rooted Froyo 2.2.2 Swedish version)
I was listening to FM-radio when making a call. Radio was muted and after I hang up the headphone connector stopped working again.
So it seems I'm the first one with this problem. To bad...
The problem persist. Should I return this phone or do anyone have any idea what to do about it?
Every time I get a call the headphone connector got disabled and only a reboot enables it again.
I believe you should return it. Especially if it's on the original firmware. That way you'd know for sure that it cannot be your fault.
If you already flashed something, try a full reset flash again (maybe some other rom) and reset again.
This looks very much like a software problem to me.
Just my 2 cents...
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Do anyone think that at factory reset could solve the problem?

[Q] Headphone inline button not working anymore

Hi all,
I recently got my senheiser momentum headphone back from RMA, it has a 3 button remote cable. Two monthes ago the inline remote functioned perfectly now it refuses to work (verified in key test app the button does not register). I have tried the following to solve this issue. I did a full factory reset and I have tried cleaning the headphone port but I cant see any dirt or obstructions in there. On other android phones the buttons work perfectly.
I would hate to send my P6 in for RMA to fix this, anyone got a clue how I might solve this?
Many thanks in advance
