No sound/audio except thru headset 02 XDA mini

My O2 XDA mini has got it self confused. I can get a phone ring but otherwsie I can't get any audio, phone or pc, except through the headset . A soft reset doesn't sort out the problem.
Have I got some settings wrong? Does anyone have a solution please? TIA.

If you are referring to your wired headset then it is possible that something has come loose in your headset jack and now your phone thinks you always have a headset plugged-in.
A bluetooth headset should override the wired one.

Do this: turn off the phone (hold down the power) and remove the battery. Then, look at the bottom slot where the battery is and you should see the wired headset connector. Use your stylus and wiggle around there. Try it again.
Seems like there is a connector loose somewhere - this happened to me twice before.

Were u hearing a click sound when you were opening and closing your device before this happened? I was on mine and ignored it, then my earpiece died as well, i opened the device up and found out that a piece of plastic went loose and was hitting the ribbon cable and after a while it just cut it. So the wire in the ribbon cable which leads to the earpiece isn't making a connection anymore causing it not to work.

it might actually just be a simple problem.
the speakers are connected to the mainboard by a loose wire (each speaker seperately), maybe it just got disconnected when it fell.
if you're not afraid opening the device, try to open it and to use the service manual to find out where the wires are (quit simple, they're above everything else i think) and check they are plugged in firmly.

There is a known problem related to the earphone socket that causes this same effect. In your case it's more likely you've buggered the speaker or wires, but in my case the earphone socket was acting like the earphones were plugged in when they weren't. After buggering about with a small pointy object I got it working again. I'll stick to BT in future.

speaker problem, my phone thinks the earphones are connected when they arent

my speaker works when my phone rings, thats it, i cant hear anything when i answer the phone or if i play audio / video. i can hear everything if i plugin my earphones, obviously through my earphones.
so it means that my speakers are working however the phone thinks for some reason the the speaker phone is always connected when it isint. thats the only explaination i can think of as to why i cant hear anything from my phone speakers.
its not in warranty as i baught it from a different country so i am hoping i can fix it myself,
there has to be something i can do to get it to work, i am not afraid to open up the phone, is the socket where u plugin the earphone easy to replace? would someone have an internal architecture of the phone specially how the earphone socket is connected. would like to get all the information before i open it up
cheers

This can be a physical problem. Try to blow the dust out of your headset jack. Helped for me...

I got the same problem, i tried to blow the dust out of my headset jack, but it doesnt solve the problem.
I also tried to plug and unplug the Headset and i tried to clean the jack.
I will try to disassemble the phone and solve the problem.
But first i have to get these small torx.....
I think there is a small switch wich hangs in the wrong position, maybe its possible to override the switch status per software?

Impossible via software I think; there's a registry setting to change to "headset" and vice versa, but it doesn't seem to do anything; the physical switch seems to override it.
Easiest way to fix is to keep trying to blow the switch back into place, or to carefully use a small cocktail stick or needle to reset the switch inside the jack. If this doesn't work,
GUESS WHAT? its stuck in handsfree mode again...and oh yah, my 1 yr warranty was over the week they returned it to me from the 3 long months. Sooo i decided to open it myself...
1- open your prophet (it will void the warranty... and if you dont know how, then go on here http://www.modaco.com/content/HTC-Prophet-Prophet-MoDaCo-com/240109/Changing-you-prophet-case/)
2- look at the jack, you will see it covered, its actually covered by a lil plastic cover that you can pop off with a small screw driver, when you do that, you'll see all the steel parts..etc
3- plug in your earphones, you will see what get pushed back as the jack goes thru.
NOW, on the right side, there is a connector that when you unplug you earphones, it will STILL BE TOUCHING the other metal connector, you'll have to bend that a bit away from it. and there u go, you're done. put everythign back together and have fun.
NOTE: the steel they use in the prophet doesnt have solid properties, rather it will reform easily, So even if you fix it, when you plug your headphones back in it WILL screw up again, so since then i avtn used mine..and you dont have to, get bluetooth headphones or something.

many people exp that the headset switch inside the audio connector get stuck
and their device only play out the headset
they fix it by inserting and removing the headset from 1 to many times
which can unstick the switch
or they change the headset connector

[URGENT! ] Headset and speaker at the same time, possible ?

Hi, I had a problem with my headset, I saw on internet that if I put an aluminum ball in TRS connector of the phone (the hole), my headset will work. My headset are now fixed
But now there is no speaker anymore, (i guess that my phone now think that there is a headset in it), so I will not know when someone will call me, and I need the alarm the morning to wake up for school(most important) ! :/
So I'd like to know if there is an app or something like that which could enable speaker and headset at the same, to get the speaker back.
Thanks you it's very important !

Switching between speakers and headphone is actually done physically inside the jack. AFAIK, there's no way to enable both using a software.
