Hi, I'm having trouble with my G3's earphone jack. When I plug in a pair of regular earphones (no mic, inline controls, etc.), the phone most of the times detects it wrongly and the little headphone icon in the status bar shows a headset (earphones with mic) and slight knocks will make it do stuff like start playing music, etc.
And now, I recently bought a pair of XiaoMi Pistons, earphones with mic and inline controls, but most of the time the inline controls don't work. At first I thought it's a problem with the XiaoMi earphones, but I tested it with the stock Quadbeats earphones that came with the phone and still same problem.
The first problem was a common one as I found many people has the same problem online, but the second...not really, so is it a common problem or just a problem with my phone and should send it in for servicing?
I'm on rooted stock Kitkat V10k-SEA-XX. Thanks

Hi,
My Desire has developed this problem that i cant seem to understand what's causing it, please help.
When i play music from the phone on my headphones the left channel audio output is fine, but the right channel volume is really low and feels like its only playing some frequencies like only backing vocals in some tracks. I'm running LeeDroid 3.0.6 and I used doubletwist before this problem. Now I've tried the default music app and PowerAMP player, both gave the same output as before. I've also tried alot of different headphones HTC, Koss, Shure headset and cheapos, no change in output.
Also i used to play the audio in my car before this connected directly to the power amp through a 3.5mm to RCA cable(could this have caused the problem). I used all kinds of Y cables heavy ones light ones before the problem. Now I've just stopped using it for audio in the car.
And before this became permanent, this would happen but a little jiggle on the headphone jack would do the trick.
Also the controls on the original HTC headphones arent working either.
My Question: is this a problem with the 3.5mm headphone jack or another underlying major problem? Or is it because of dirt or some easily resolvable problem in the 3.5mm jack?
Note: I can't claim warranty.
Any help guys?

That thing with the car amp might have made a problem, but I don't really think so. Notice that desires headphones output is stereo,so its normal to hear tthe vocals or the backing tune only on one earpiece, as long as you hear the full sound when wearing both as far as the headphones controllers, they might wore off from use... Anyway if tou feel like there is a problem, first run an ruu and try again with the stock rom (to see if its a software problem) and if that doesn't fix it, send it @htc for service. That's the safest way

I have problem using samsung wave's earphones on my hp laptop. The sounds seems crackled and in mono audio types it becomes very faint.. Either i should partially plug earphones or select mono channel in vlc player but this messes up the audio quality. But in my bro's lg optimus earphones everything is fine.
The sound quality on my wave is excellent but on my laptop its bad.. Will I need some other samsung driver or is it a common problem?? My laptop sound driver is up to date...
Thanx in advance....!
This so common
i use my earphone with my laptop and sound is excellent
My brother tried it with his laptop and sound is crap
the solution was to use the earphone half plugged and half unplugged
look for easier understanding put your earphone in your laptop and play music
now sound is just crap
unplug your earphone slowly from your laptop until you find sound is fine
i hope you get what i meant
Best Regards
Yeah even i have that problem and the solution is Given by the Post above my post !! i think its due to the THREE Strips that u can see on the HeadPhone pin on the Wave earphone (All mic included earphones have three strips and ordinary earphones have only two) !!! But better use any other ordinary earphones !!! !! Cheers mate !!!!!!
Thanx for suggestions, but i have been managing from weeks the way u told(found on some hp forum) but problem is it spoils the bass effect and sound becomes irritating rather than pleasent.... so i asked if i could get some driver which could make good use of earphone hardware like the way its played on wave....
Anyways its better i'll get some other earphones..
you dont need drivers for a 3.5 mm audio jack!.....lol
the thing is that the jack is madein such a way!
a normal 3.5 mm jack will have 3 point pin!
1 common
2 left audio
3 right audio
but if you talk about phone they have 4 point pin1
1 common
2 left audio
3 right audio
4 mic
the problem is that each company manufactures
pins with different configuration!..(so that a samsung high end earphone will not play in lg or lower end phones)
and in our headphones second point from the wire end is the mic.....so if the pin is fully plugged in you loose proper sound and when half plugged the common is outside the pin point so you get the mono effect without bass!.....lol
When i used to have the Sony stock ROM some earphones that i bought weren't compatible with the phone, but since now im using a custom ROM CM7.2 i plugged in my earphones and all the sound was going through the ear pieces.. but when i started listening to music the sounds were sketchy and misplaced and lyrics sounded different.
Is their anyway to make my earphones compatible with my phone?
Its compatible with sony earphones only i guess i also tried samsungs bt it shows only no sound was there so try to buy sonys
Are these headphones or headsets? (headset is with mic).
Most headsets aren't compatible with the Sony Ericsson jack, though headphones should work fine
For headsets you mostly need Nokia adapter..
earphones... if you didnt read the title, the sounds goes through the earpieces but when i listen to music it scrambles and sounds are different
That's unusual. A regular headphone/earphone should have no problems no matter what phone. Have you tried with another pair?
This normally happens with incompatible headsets i.e. with in-line mics.
Yeh iv used the SE ones which work fine, but my ones that iv bought work but the sounds are messed up etc. and have no in-mic line
Hello everyone,
So I recently got HOX and when I'm listening to music through in-ear headphones with an in-line mic the sound quality is really bad, somewhat dull and "incomplete". However, the sound quality gets back to normal when you hold the mic control button on the headphones or unplug the cable extension with in-line mic, or simply use another pair of headphones without a mic . Surprisingly enough, the same thing happens with bundled headphones. So I wonder if there is something wrong with settings or some other fault.
Thanks for any advice in advance.
A few weeks ago I dropped my phone about 6 inches onto a hard metal lamp. When it contacted I heard a loud squeal in the earbuds I was wearing. Now when I use the earbuds the audio files are muted, tinny and filled with static. It sounds like the headphone jack is not inserted all the way – like a hardware issue. The earbuds operate normally otherwise, and all other earbuds I have tested produce the same bad results when inserted into the phone. The files play normally through Bluetooth and speakers, but no matter what headset I use in the audio jack, all audio (music, podcasts, system tones, etc.) is garbled and filled with static.
I have researched the issue and at first thought that I damaged the metal cover around the audio jack because there was a small “chip” right next to the audio jack opening. So, I ended up buying a new metal cover, but that didn’t resolve the issue (nor did just leaving the cover off). I bought a new daughter board with audio jack, but unfortunately the one I received was (I suspect) for the ATT version of the phone since some of the antennas were slightly different. I did, however, install the new daughter board/audio jack for testing purposes, and this, too, did not solve the audio issues! So, I reinstalled the old jack and daughter board. Since then I have reinstalled the phone’s OS (rooted stock 5.0.2 with Sense 6.0) and turned off Beats to see if this would fix things – all to no avail. As far as I can tell, the only thing I haven’t done is install a new motherboard. By the way, the audio jack interfaces normally with the OS as far as sensing the insertion/removal of headsets. I am out of ideas but am posting this to see if anyone has a suggestion.
