Yeah I did this and still no joy!
In the end what I did was just got a paper clip and poked around in the 3.5mm headphone socket and it cured it!!!
I just hope it don't happen again as it is well annoy because I cannot answer calls.
this happens with the iphone as well. somehow the device still registers it in there. just plug in the headphones again and take it out or wiggle it a little while it's in there before removing again.
basically the same thing as what you did with a paper clip, but probably a bit safer.
its been a common fault on plenty of HTC phones over the years.
Happend to me too. I solved it by plugging in some headphones, and while they while they were connected I restarted the phone. Then I just plugged them out and problem solved =)
I guess this is a bit safer than poking around in the hole, although I tried this aswell

Hey all
I have aproblem with my S100, every so often the sound fails, i get no sounds from programs, no speaker in convo, and no mic in convo. this can happen for as long as 10 hours and a soft reset or a hard reset do no solve the problem, i assume its a hardware problem, but just wanted to clarify.
If anyone has a solution, i would be grateful.
Oh and btw, i can have a convo on a headset, bluetooth and wired.

Strange thing is that both (input and output) fail. Even more strange then is that you have no problem with a headset.
At least you can still use it but I recommend sending it in.
i reckon whats happening is when u're plugging in your headset the switch is getting stuck & u're getting stuck in handsfree, if you twiddle your sylus around in the headset socket it should sort it. works for me. hope this helps
try tapping the device against your palm. it worked for "geoffsonic" and myself.
i had the similar problem what i dit to solve it was: a drop of contact fluid on the jack plug and putting the jack in and out (several times) intro the headset connection of the phone. Now i haven't got a problem with the headphone for 2 months
Hi,
My exec is stuck in headset mode, it appears to think the handsfree is still plugged in and will only use the headset mic and earpiece even if not plugged in. I've tried a soft reset to no avail and i really dont want to do a hard reset as i have no way of backing anything up at the moment.
Any suggestions?
thanks in advance

This is a fault that goes all the way back to the original devices...
The way to fix it is to get your headset jack, and try various ways of quickly but forcefully unplugging it. Happened to me the other night and eventually I managed to force it to recognise the headset was removed and it came back out of the speaker.
Cheers
Ant
sorted now, not sure if it was unplugging or not but i made & recieved some calls and unplugged it and it works!
thanks for the speedy reply and solution.
cheers

I also have this problem today....but I dropped my xda exec on the ground and then all the sound is gone.....only headset and bluetooth are worked....
I think I damage the phone somehow.......
But I will still use it...

Thanx Anton. My XDA experienced the same problem and I was veeeeerrrrrry sad about it.
Then I came across your suggestion and, BINGO! It worked.
*Sorry for the duplicate post*
This just started happening on my JasJar today (system audio returned after poking the headset in/out a few times), after 11 months of use. Does this get worse over time? Should I bite the bullet and try to get Imate to repair it?
Please advise!
Damn it, I've got the same problem since yesterday
I can hear calls in handsfree mode (using the built-it handsfree mode) and with an earphone plugged in but not through the speaker besides the display.
Strangely, the internal mic works well (I mean, the called person can hear me). Is it the same problem you're talking about or has my speaker just collapsed? :?
.ox
EDIT: I've noticed that only the speaker above the display seems to be muted. The one on the backside of the display and the two speakers in the main body (when using handsfree mode) work. So I guess, the speaker's dead, isn't it?
2nd EDIT: After plugging a headphone in and out about 20 times and applying pressure on the display receiver it suddenly started to work again. I'm not sure what was causing this problem but even a hard reset didn't fix it so I guess it's a hardware (or firmware) related issue.
Same Problem
After working fine for months, with and without the earplug, my MDA Pro has started do the same thing--it's stuck in earplug mode. I've tried plugging/unplugging the earplug for about five times in a row--didn't help. Do I really have to do this 20 times? Jeez--I'm afraid of messing up something else. Could there be another solution? UPDATE: I just now tried plugging/unplugging 20 times--no help!
OK, the solution is the same as that for the loose USB port--send the MDA Pro to the fine folks at Pocket PC Techs and let them fix it. They replaced the earplug jack and got the unit to work perfectly with and without the earplugs. $75 plus shipping. They misplaced my stylus, but sent me a new one right away. I'm very happy with their service.
I've had this kind of problem with a Nokia 8310 which I've carried for three years. I believe it is a physical problem with the headphone socket which may be caused by lateral force on the jack while plugged in inside a pocket. Wiggling and unplugging the jack repeatedly makes the phone socket work properly. There is a small switch inside made out of a metal spring. All you need to do is wiggle it.
The phones which go silent after being dropped may be a different matter.
well this one has me totally baffled!!
went out yesterday with my wizard and everything was fine, all audio was working prefectly! on the bus i plugged in my hands free kit to listen to a little music, that was fine..
when i got off the bus i unplugged the headset and for some reason the audio on the wizard was not working, no clicks, no music playing when i opened media player, almost as if it was on mute!
i thought to myself, maybee the speakers are bust?.. but when somebody rings me the speakers kick in and sound works perfectly! but only when people ring me,
BIG PROBLEM IS: if i answer the sound dosent work and neither does the microphone, as if the headset is still plugged in.
if i plug in the headset, the mic and headphones work perfectly for calls.
SO YET AGAIN!! I THOUGHT TO MYSELF: maybee the wizard is registering that the headset is constantly plugged in even though it isnt, or something is jammed in the headset socket.
BU NO!, if that was the case then when the phone rings the loudspeaker wouldnt be ringing too would it...
I AM OFICIALLY TOTALLY BAFFLED! have hard reset the phone 4 times, soft reset countless times!! i have no idea *CURRENTLY USING THE NEWEST QTEK ROM*
if anyone has any ideas i would be most greatfull!!!!!!! CHEERS A;LL!!!!
are u using bt ?
then try btaudio to tunnel audio through and no bt
dont use bluetooth at all, and its a good solution, but i still wouldnt have my good old audio back propperly i dont think,
there are just times when i like to sit my pone on my desk and play movies/music, or actually take a call and not have to plug in my headset everytime just to talk to someone lolol
its driving me nuts lol
ive tried re flashing the phone to its base tmobile rom, the qtek one and the o2 one now and still the same problem, so im guessing its hardware somewhere down the line.
any suggestions?
I have the exact same problem i believe and have found no solution. I didn't use the hands free set though. Just one night while charging, the main speaker stopped working on my 9100. Been like that for probably 2 months now.
Speakerphone, bluetooth headset and wired headset still work.
when wired headset is plugged in, it wont switch to speaker phone. When its not plugged in, it will, so I know its not just thinking the headset is plugged in still.
why are you complaining here ... return the device, it has warranty..
Hi
I had the exact same problem with my Magician (not had it with the Wizard yet). The problem is something to do with plugging the Handsfree kit in. when you unplug it, the little catch inside the 2.5mm hole does not flip back across so the device still thinks that the Handsfree is plugged in.
What i did to sort this was to wiggle a large paper clip inside the hole and it sorted it.
I hope this is the same problem
Thanks

So stupid thing happened today - I was listening to some music with Media Player through normal headphones connected through an 2.5mm -> 3.5mm adapter. Suddenly the phone rang and the guy calling hung up. The music continued playing. So far so good. But ever since I can get sound in/out my Prophet only through the handsfree port. I tried soft resetting several times - sound won't come out the rear speaker. I tried also plugging in/out the standart handsfree set - nothing helps.
Any suggestions? I really don't want to hard-reset now..
Exactly the same thing happened with me today. freaky. i have no sound whatsoever coming out from the speaker and can only talk though my bt headset. hope some solution will present itself soon.
try this. might help.

Oh, thanks a lot man! It really helped! Phew, I was desperate
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.
