Headphone jack socket faulty...

I've been using my Touch HD for 8 days now, everything's been great until now.
The headphone socket has stopped working properly - I only get sound through 1 headphone when the jack is fully inserted, and only get stereo by pulling it out by 2mm or so.
Has anyone else had this issue, or does anyone know of a simple fix for it?
I bought this as an unwanted upgrade from someone, so would Orange UK (who it was originally from) or HTC would offer any support? I guess not, but wonder if I took it to an Orange store if they'd ask for proof of a contract or just fix it (any experience in this matter could be very handy!)?
Thanks for any help or thoughts!

I had the same problem but quickly realised that the jack needs to be pushed in firmly.
Works fine now!

Thanks for the reply. I don't think it's quite the same problem - on my HD pushing it in firmly results in getting sound from only one earphone, I need to pull it back to get stereo. I think a contact must have moved to the wrong position, not sure though.

Hi all, i just got my Blackstone last tuesday and i have the same problem. Only i don't have stereo even with the headphone plug a bit out of the jacket. Please tell me there is some sort of setting somewhere for single headphone speaker because i would really hate to return the htc blackstone for a failure like this......

Help! No sound from speakers

Hi guys,
I have Tmobile HD2 and it's on stock radio 2.08. I flash nrg rom 04/23 6.5.x and everything was working fine. Today I just changed the rom to 4/23 6.5 and now my speaker don't make any sounds. Everything play fine through headphone but not from speaker. I play music, movies, ringtones nothing works. No sounds. I just did task29 and flashed to 2 other different roms and still no sounds. What happened to my phone? Is the speaker gone for good? I only had this phone for a week. Any helps is appreciated.

I've had a similar issue in past phones, where after removing audio jack the phone still thinks it is plugged in and even a hardreset didnt fix it. Try to remove and insert the audio jack rapidly in succession, its worth a try. Good luck.
Regards

I don't think it's rom related. I try nrg, miri, stock and cell. none works.

I had the same issue. I think thats happen after i use earfone.
Do you solve this problem?
thx

I had the same issue. The easiest way to tell if it is the same issue is to look to see if you have the headset icon in the bar when you dont have any connected. I solved this by (not suggesting you do it unless you are sure) there is a pressure prong on the top of the 3.5 jack. I used a tool to bend it down a little. If you still can I would swap it out for a new one.

i have the same issuse, and i've tried 2 rom until now.
in a call, if i press speaker, i can hear everything.
if i'm using mediaplayer, tcmp, youtube client, i get no sound.
even if i try to change the ringtone, i cannot hear when it plays for demo.
but if i plug in my headphones, everything works prefect, i can hear.
i have no headphones icon in the upper part of the display (so that the phone thinks i didn't get the jack out).
any ideea would be really appreciated.

Hi all,
i bought unbranded/unlocked HD2 on 5-6-2010 and played alots with it - so i didn't really noticed a serious speaker problem.
Within the first week i wondered about the fact that i sometimes couldn't hear the callers voice. I had this effect even when i called somebody. I thought about a software error - so i flashed to the latest german stock ROM.
But it didn't fixed the problem. I was only able to hear somebody, when i used the internal speaker or the headset.
One day i got a call and i "accidentally" pressed the phone speaker a bit harder than usual to my ear and the voice came and left - (ear)speaker defect.
I informed the dealer about this defect and i got a new HD2.
He told me, it would be the ninth HD2 with this particular defect since January 2010.
Please check your speaker for a defective contact - maybe it hits you too.
Good luck,
Stephan

mine was a software problem.
i have elegancia 8.5 now and it works, i can hear youtube, fm radio on the speaker.
the other thing that bothers me is that the sound i hear in a call is too low.
i don't know if it's a radio problem.
ah, btw, i can't use the volume hardware buttons, they are broke from a down fall, and i can't seem to find how to change in a call volume from windows.

I also hat that prob. The funny solution: Audio was set to silent in windows media player. After turning up the volume the problem was gone. I had this problem only one times. Strange thing...

I have the same problem with my hd2 now and still couldnt fix it.I have htc2 for 2-3 months, didnt have this kind of problem, no sound from the phone without earphones.can it be solved with any sound driver or sth like that, I tried hard reset, flashing, orginal rom, downloaded previous working rom, no solution.Appreciate if you could give some advices.thanks
note:happened after half an hour downloading laurentius 26 rom

??? help pls ???

My speaker stopped working last night. Had been working fine for the last few weeks.
Haven't installed anything or done anything different in the last few days.
Have only recently got my phone set up as I want it, so I'm loathe to do a factory reset. Read on another forum that HTC are aware of this and that 65% of HD2 owners suffer with is - not sure how true this is though.
If it's a hardware issue, is it easy to replace the speaker? If so, is it easy to order one?
Thanks
SC

I have the same problem! I have try like for ROM already and no solution i even uninstall HSPL to see if anything happened but not luck so far. can any expert or someone who have already solved this problem post a solution or something PLEASE i getting worried or i mean i am already!!
THANKS!

fixed It!! speaker Problem!HD2
well is was pretty simple! all i did was i put speaker volume on muted and with the earphone start to plug in and and out the jack several times while i was playing a video on windows media after that i unplug it and set the speaker volume up and hit play!!! speaker on!!!!

Just had the no sound from speaker problem, I always use my bluetooth motorokr s9-hd headset but i didnt feel like charging it so i used my sony earbuds with the 3.5 jack for the first time and it caused the no sound from speaker issue......I plugged the earbuds back in, played with the volume buttons on the phone and the speaker is back on

Earphones with mic dont work...

I just bought some M9Ps with a built in mic, and they don't even work with this phone. You have to hold the mic button to get clear sound, and when trying to make a call it automatically ends unless you hold the mic button the whole way. Then the person can't even hear you..
Is there a fix to this? I REALLY don't like the default headphones.

There is no fix. You could have known about this issue if you read the accessoires board, because the problem has been documented there.
I bought the M9P's too by the way. I returned them for the regular M9's.

well so what does that mean?
that it wont work?
well i flashed back to di18 and works perfectly wit no issues mic works n so do the headphones onthe headset
now when im in dk28 headphones work but not the mic :/
something ****ed up in the kernel?

Well look on the bright side. You can speak into the phone's mouthpiece even though your earphone is plugged in. =D

I am having the same problem, when you say flashed back to di18 what do you mean? Is that a certain custom rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

+1 on this, skullcandy holua's does the same thing, works great on my mw600 but not when plugged directly into the phone. What are you flashing back to fix?

daang i have the same problem with my skullcandy buds Is it because I am on cm 6 + 2.2?

[Q] Headphones problem

Has anyone noticed a problem with using headphones? I have tried 4 different pairs and only managed to get 1 pair working properly. The problem is that when you plug the headphones in the small headphones icon appears in the lower right hand side but when you play the music it comes through both the headphones and also the speaker. It seems to be the headphones are not seating properly.

same problem!!
yess i have the same problemm!!!
i realised that to fix this problem, you have to plug in the headphones while firstly playing any songs through the tablet speakers, then it detects there's headphone plugged in.
This is issue is really pissing me off!! i hope they fix it asap!

yes i had that problem and felt like an idiot when i finally realised that i was sharing my music with everyone on the bus!
very weird problem which has stopped me from listening to music on my a500 even though the audio quality is superior to my Sony Ericsson X10 and my HTC Sensation.
Thanks for the tip - I'll try it out tonight!

this trick works for me too, but only while the audio is playing through the specific app. if i stop music while doing this trick and change to video it out puts the video out of both speakers and headphones again.
It really has nothing to do with the jack seating, it has to do with the audio mixer and the jack detection.
it should be fixed eventually (hoping with ICS) but for now I have to take my headphones off and check the output like a weirdo anytime I want to switch apps using headphones.

Hi, I have also this problem but I noticed another strange thing : when you listen to a track using headphones the stereo image looks moved slightly to the right, it's not well centered. Is it only a problem of my A500 or is it general ?
Thanks

Are you guys using non-stock ROM or something? I am on stock 3.1 and I am not having any kinds of issues with it, headphones work just fine and the stereo image is as centered as it should. Or maybe it's your headphones, have you tried with other devices?

I'm on Taboonay 2.1 and i can't remember noticing it when i was using stock rom. I only noticed it because i felt the slight vibration coming from the speakers. I have got 1 Set of headphones that work really well with it and it only happens with my other headphones which weren't exactly cheap (typical) but they all work on everything else i plug them into, so i think it's more to do with the seating of the headphones rather than the rom because i've got a pair that work fine, although i now have some doubt so i'm going to try them all out again to make sure

Same problem here, with Taboney 2.1 and different head phones.

Hi, just upgraded to 3.2 original and now everything comes out in mono. No stereo from headphones. Anyone having the same prob? Wow, things are getting even worse....
Ramp

I had this same problem too on stock HC 3.1
The trick works for me; but is rather annoying trying to drive and play music at the same time
I have recently changed to Lightspeed ROM with Thor 3.7 (the rest) kernel and have not experienced any sound issue yet =]

I have some problems with the last Tabooney 3.2 ROM and headphones too.
Sound goes through headphone and tab speakers.
I noticed that if I unplug and plug headphones twice or three times I could only have sound into headphones and works well.
I never used OTA ROM so, can't say if it works well with it, but there is a prob with Taboonay's ROM.
I can't post in DEV thread (regard to my posts count).

cm9 bad sound through headset

Hi
Just flashed coldfusionx 4.0.4 latest version.
Everything is fine except really bad sound through the headset when playing any audio!
Sounds like extremely high virtual surround sound or listening far away in a well!
I tried adjusting dsp manager, settings etc.
Still the same. This makes everything unlistenable!
How do I fix this

Update:
If I push the headphone jack all the way in, the sound is weird
however if I hold it halfway through the sound is coming perfectly though only through one of the phones.
Anyone?

Not the ROM problem. Probably a loose connection at the phone or the earphones end

Definitely something to do with the rom.
Tried with 2 different headsets....also flashed CM7 instead and the headset sound is fine!
Flashed again with coldfusionx cm9 and same problem again.

I found on my Blade that only one type of earphone connector will work fine, if the connector is plugged in fully.
There are two types of earphone connectors in case there is a mic present:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio)#Mobile_phones
For my blade only "Apple Style" worked fine, else sound quality is very bad. Also all earphones withour mic work fine.
Maybe there is also some rom rependency, I dont know, i use SS.
