Dash Headphone issue

Hello everyone:
I did a search and didn't find anything, but if I missed a thread about this, please point me in the right direction.
I bought a Dash off eBay quite a while ago and flashed it with a standard HTC ROM (1.27.405.1), it is on Rogers in Canada. Everything works fine except I cannot get any headphones to work.
I bought an adapter off eBay (Actually 3 adapters now). They are extUSB to regular headphone adapters. I plug them in but the music still keeps coming from the speaker on the back.
Am I the only one having this issue? Is it possible I have a defective unit in some way? I find it unlikely because USB Sync / Charging works fine.
Any ideas, I really want to use this phone as an MP3 player.
Thanks,
Matt

go to this website and let me know if the audio drivers here helped.

Buy a Bluetooth Headset Stereo, it works very well.
I got the Sony Ericsson HBM-DS970 and the sound is pretty good

I get "Your phone already has the latest drivers installed".
Any other suggestions?

Same problem
I am having the same issue with my S620 and I don't know what to do. Can anyone give a noob a hand...

Try a new ROM.. if not, it's probably a hardware issue.

make sure your extUSB looks like the picture below. The normal miniUSB does not work.

It does look like that picture and what rom do you recommend I use?

I'd recomend a BT headset or going for a HTC set of headphones or getting something like this and using a "normal" mini jack headphones

well I have tried some different roms like you all said but nothing helped. I would get the HTC headphones but kinda strapped for cash, anything else you guys might recommend?

Headphone problems on HOX

Hi guys,
Fairly new so take it easy on me.
New owner of the One X and is a worthy upgrade to my excellent Desire HD.
Sorry if this has been asked already but has anyone had any headphone problems. It seems when headphone inserted its just doesn't pick this up and continues to play audio via speaker.
I'm hoping I'm being very dumb and missing something cos I don't want the hassle of returning the phone.
Much appreciated guys.

It seems like your phone doenst recognize your headphones...
I had the same problem when i bought my sgs+
i solved it by trying several headphones and it worked with one i found

Thanks for the response.
I'll give that a good but seems bad that it can't work with any headphones.

It does seem strange, I have tried 4 sets of headphones with my HOX (I know, I just like headphones) and haven't come across this.
It could just be an issue with the set you have, hope it's not the phone/headphone socket, good luck!

I've only had it for 4 days so if I'm not happy after some tests it's going back to O2 shop. Which I want to avoid as I have just set everything up etc.

Lets take into consideration
he told us that he has a new phone
so i realy cant imagine its the headphone socket in the phone
if its stock it cannot be a soft bug (ofcourse it could but if it would be a soft bug htc would be a poooooooor cellphone manufacture )
So lets look
some phones (dont ask me why) do not recognize cheap headphones
in some way the do but than only one side works propperly or the sound is messed up or something else
I would call the HTC support hotline

IT must be your phone, mine recognises it perfectly.

Ok however this is a problem that cant be redone by anybody else in a propper way
i would suggest to contact your cellphone seller or the htc support hotline

Thanks for the response guys.
I'm going to try a few different headphones tonight and see what happens. Hopefully it's just these headphones it doesn't like.
If not then a return it is.

Let me know how u fixed the issue

definitely try different headphones. My Favourite pair of Sonys dont work in any HTC phone. They are noise cancelling, so they have a 5pin jack, and HTC's simply don't recognise it.
as long as you have a standard 3 or 4 pin pair, it should be ok, but there are some where the pins don't seem to line up just right...

**** thats what i mentioned to be the problem....
i know it sounds a bit stupid but if the sony headset is ur favourite u might search for a adapter or something else

Sounds like a phone fault to me - I've tried loads of headsets and headphones, all have worked in terms of sound coming out (mic and buttons working is a different story).
Did your HOX come with HTC headphones - I thought they were included as standard, (although they are tinny/cheap) if it doesn't work with them then there is a problem.
If all else fails take the phone and the headphones to the shop and get them to see for themselves.
Good luck.

Ok i dont have this phone and i dont know anybody by the moment who hast this phone
Ask other people u know owning the same phone like u if the may let u test the headset that works for them

To be honest today was the first time I tried some headphones while at work. And they were my old desire HD headphones I had in my draw.
So once I get home I shall try the new HTC ones as well as others I have.
And if not then I will indeed be returning to the shop. I'll let you guys know. Thanks again.

I thought I already did.
And I know totally off subject but any advice on battery calibration etc. Or maybe link to relevant thread as I can't seem to find one. Or one that makes sense to a novice like me.

Use a screwdriver.

Right guys I have good news. Its seems the One X just didn't like my old HTC headphones. All others I have tried have worked. So panic over.
It most be as mentioned earlier about the pins.

The battery does not need "calibrating".
Android calibrates its battery meter against the battery when the battery is fully charged. This means that the battery meter will show reasonable values for the remaining battery life.
That is a fact, regardless of what other people may say, think or do.

AUX not working

Hellow, i`m a user of HOX for about 2 monthes.
I`m a daily user of earphones.
Today when i connected the earphones, the logo of the earphones at the status bar did not appear and the sound came out of the phone and not from the earphones.
I tried using 2 other earphones and obviously the problem is at the AUX port and not the earphones.
Is that hardware problem or it can be software related?
I`m using stock rom(1.29.708.15) and stock kernal.
Also, if that hardware related and i unlocked the bootloader through HTCDEV at the past(i relocked it), can it damage my warrntey at that case?
Ty in advance.

It's a hardware fault.
You have Hong Kong phone, where did you buy it? The warranty shouldn't matter since it's clearly a hardware fault, but some places have less good statutory rights than others.

I was asking about what country, really. If you bought it privately, and you don't have the receipt, not fun. Anyway, HTC might still fix it. Just return as near to stock before returning it.
There is an app that can switch to headphone mode, but I dunno if it requires root. I'll let you find the thread here yourself.

I`m too lazy to search the receipt right now, but i`m sure i have it.
anyway i`ll contact global htc tomorrow and see what they can do, if they will refuse to fix it i`ll contact the seller.
At the worst case, this problem can be fixed at a private phones lab?
edit:
Ok i found this app - toggleheadset2.
when forcing it to headphones mode the AUX works, but again when canceling the force of the app it`s not working.
How can it be a hardware fault if it work`s at forcing mode? that means the port is working.

Try a factory reset, if that doesn't work try installing mist recent ruu make sure it matches your cid, if the port works its probably something else messed up
Your boot loader reads re locked so htc know it has been unlocked before

Did try a factory reset + SD wipe that didn`t work, and i can`t reinstall the ruu because i cannot find it over the net, only the 1.29.708.9 version is available.
after that i wanted to check if that happends with other roms also, so i installed CM 10 (always wanted to use it but i was 2 lazy ) but also at CM 10 theres the same problem so i restored everything again.
so now i back to point 0 with a wiped phone :/

...
Ok, after speaking with htc for using my warranty, they want 15$ just for send the phone to their lab.
After that the lab will make an offer for me, and then i will need to pay another 15$ for the shipment...
so that`s too much for me.
I tried today to "play" with the AUX port by pushing harder the connection, sometimes when i pushed the connection harder or moved it the earphones logo appeared for few seconds, so now i`m totally sure the problem is with the AUX port.
My question is - can i buy a replacement part and fix it myself? if so, what do i need to buy?

The headphone jack is usually soldered on to the motherboard or a daughter board. In most cases you'll need to do some soldering, which is not advisable if you don't have any experience with that sort of thing. If you don't want to waste your money/time with HTC then the next best option is to take it to a local mobile phone repair shop.
Or you can buy a Bluetooth A2DP clip/ headphones/earphones and use it over BT.

Challenge htc if your headphone jack I loose and it's happened through normal use then ring them back and speak to a team leader or manager, htc dev voids parts of the warranty but the headphone jack isn't anything to do with it, I'm in the UK so our laws are different but fight them

HTC one x headphone jack issue

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can shed some light on an issue with the headphone jack I've started having. The HTC headphones supplied have stopped being recognised. They work in other devices just not in the HTC one x. Now if plug a different type of headphones into the phone they work and are recognised. This problem only started about a month ago before that everything was ok. I'm guessing its a fault with the phone but just wondering if anyone else has this issue.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I'm having the same issue albeit a little differently. My personal earbuds get unrecognized frequently after plugging for a little while. It happens even if I leave the jack stationary and not touching the phone at all and after 2-3 songs it will stop recognizing my earbuds.
Tried on 2 earbuds same result. Wanted to send in for repairs but have no idea what to tell HTC. Cos it happens randomly.

I had this problem mine used to disconnect and connect randomly i used a app called Sound About by David Woods from market the override the detection of headphones and this worked great. In the end my phone had signal problems so was replaced. Give it ago if you dont want to send phone off.

Thanks a lot for your help. The app seems work.

I had the same issue a few months ago.
After some time i did send it in (htc picked it up thenext day) and they replaced the headset connector.
Since then no problems anymore.
You can also go to Htc certified repair center for this replacement.

I´ve tried this program and i could set it to headset output. But after this my speaker has no function, when i disconnect the headset. I have to change the settings in the program again. Any idea?

I got this error to on my HOX but with beats tour earphones my phone just don't recognize them now anymore, but what is strange is that it works with any others earphones...

same
I have the same issue with my htc one (((

I had the same issue, new set of ears and is was good . after 2 weeks my
Headphonejack is completely broken! It sounds like 1 site of the ears isn't always working (same problem when ears are old and broken)
I can't send it to HTC because i have a rooted phone!

(Q help which part of the software controls the headphone socket

Ok so I have this problem. I'm really into my music but on certain rims I've tried. Specifically miui and viper jb then won't get recognised. I plug them in and nothing. There fine on other rooms that I've tried so I was thinking that these 2 roms change the framework quite a bit so could it be that?
I've ruled out hardware on both items which leaves software but I don't know where to start
Has anyone else had this issue
Thanks

What doesn't get recognised? Your headphones?

Yes just my beats.There a few threads around about it but it's weird. The beats headphones work in other phones and other headphones work straight away. It's annoying me.

Please try to be clearer. You plug them in and nothing? So... Sound still comes out of the phone speaker?

Yes they are not recognised. It's as if I hadn't plugged then in however I can plug another set in straight away and they will work. Same as if I plug the beats into a different phone.they work fine.
