suddenly, the speakers of my wizard (Qteck 9100) doesn't work anymore.
When playing mp3's or making a phone call, I just can't here anything anymore! When using my headset, everything works fine.
Since there are 3 speakers, (2 stereo for music and 1 for phone speaker) which doesn't work anymore, I suppose this is a software error and not my hardware.
Is there anyone with some ideas for registry changes or so to make it work again? Else I will return it and let them fix it (still in garantee)
thanks!

the main speaker on my 9100 just quit one day while it was sitting on my desk and hasn't worked since. Hard reset didn't help. New rom install didn't help. Gonna take it apart and look around soon.

I've had this happen to me. What I surmised was that the phone probably thought the headset was still plugged in. I had to do a headset exchange with T-mobile USA.
There's a known fault in the wizard headphone jack socket switch which stays open when the head phone jack is removed. Plugging the jack in and giving it a good "waggle" sorts it apparently.
PS "waggle" is an old Swedish word for moving something back and forth while having your left trouser leg rolled up to your knee.
eek
this actually happened to me when my headphone jack's tip broke off and stayed in the connector. if you pop off the battery, you can see the tip. just make sure nothing's there, to verify that your problem isn't physical.

I tried the "waggle" but it didn't work. I ended up replacing the headset since it was still under warranty with T-Mobile USA. However I use the headset plug quite a lot since I use the phone as an MP3 player during my work commute, so this is a cause for concern.
I had never used the headset and never put anything in that jack. Still the speake stopped working.
found out what was wrong with mine. Turns out that the ribbon cable that connects the lcd part to the keyboard part got snagged on something and had a couple of mm gash torn in the side. I noticed that sliding the keyboard open made kind of a crumply noise. I thought it was some flaw in the slide design, but it was just the broken cable rubbing against something. Still not sure where to get it fixed though (other than germany)
I had the same problem with this f*** headsets... I tried since two hours to "waggle" it and it didn't change anything... I'm going to try with other headsets tomorrow if it's the only solution
This happened to me again with my replacement MDA. This is what I ended up doing - take off the back plate and remove the battery. If you look at where the battery used to be towards the bottom of the phone, you'll sorta see the headphone connector. Use your stylus and wiggle it around thru the slight hole. That might do the trick.
Thanks,
I could solve my problem too this way, just kept moving in and out the headphone jack till it worked.

One question, How many times you did it to make the sound work again ?
well, i think it took me some time, just wanted to give it up and suddenly it worked (play some music while trying, so you here it when it will work)
I also pushed and turned a little bit with the headphone jack into the headphone input connector, but be carefull with that, the headphone jack could break and parts of it could stay into the headphone input connector, and I assume that would make your problem bigger than before...
anyway, if it really doesn't work, you should return it asap, I should be replaced ...
good luck
This fixed my speakers
Incase someone wonders over to this thread:
I very gently wiggled the headphone jack whilst playing an mp3, and it worked.
I am so relieved that I dont have to take it in to be repaired.
If you cant get it to work straight away, try blowing into the socket, or use a toothpick. But remember to be gentle.
Greetings all
I've got a problem with my headphone and want to be 100% sure its an hardware fault before having to send it off to O2 repair centre (across the other side of the country)
I'm only getting sound out of one ear piece, I've checked the headphones on another phone and the problem isn't at that end. So I'm wondering if somehow unknowningly I've altered a setting (if even possible) which has chanced the sound output to something like a mono or handfree signal where theres only one plug in your ear?
Is this even possible :shock: any hints would be great!
marto
I guess it's more a hardware problem. It could just be dust/dirt in one of the contacts or worst would be that one contact has been pushed in too much. This can happen when inserting the jack not in a very straight fashion.
If your unit is no longer under warantee and you are brave enough to open it up for cleaning, then do it. I usually use a toothpick soaked in a bit of rubbing alcohol for cleaning, and a needle to push back the contacts.
mda compact ringing prob
do i use this advice for my mda. i put in headphones and no i cant hear it ring. it was making a low low sound but now nothing. i can haear thu the phones
Left channel earphone also not working on mine!
I too have the fault where the left channel cuts out (tho with a bit of jiggling mine kinda works again).
Damn it!!
Anyone have a safe method to cracking the case to see if the jack is stuffed??
(out of warranty of course)

Well I don't know about "cracking the cover" but I did unfortunately send it off for a warranty repair to MPS in Qld :x I lost my high quality screen protector and after about 3 weeks of emails and phone calls the unit finally got back to me....still with sounds coming from one ear
The headphones work perfectly in my motorola v635 so I know they're ok, just tossing up whether to go through the hassle of be without my pda again for another month :?

Have you tried Blue Trek X2?
Hi,
I am wondering what the most convenient way to take my wired earbud with me so that I can listen to music, or making a call using the headphones.
Which earbud pouch do you use ?
Just putting the earbud in the one's pocket is not a good idea, it gets dirty, and the wired get tangled.
I prefer by far a wired to a bluetooth hearphone, because I hate having to bother about another device to charge.
I am using the original HTC Kaiser headphone, because I find it a lot better than any other for the simple reason that it has a volume slider contrary to the HS U110 (cf. http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=155073&p=tech ). And although the E100 (cf. http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=150195 ) has a volume slider, I do not have the use of the other functionalities because I use CorePlayer software exclusively (I also recommend you to do so by the way).
Could you share in this thread, how you carry your wired earbud together with you kaiser ?
Chris
Where did your TyTN II come from?
I'd like to know the answer to this as well. It's interesting that your original Kaiser wired headset has a volume slider because mine does not. The other problem you haven't mentioned with putting the headset wound up in a pocket or bag is that the earpad foam 'socks' often get pulled off.
It seems like HTC (at least here in the UK) are missing the boat big time. Not only do they not supply a case to carry the headset, they also don't supply replacement earpad socks. Fortunately the Motorola ones are interchangable. There are rubberised devices shaped like a dog bone meant for coiling up headset wires but I'd prefer a small fully enclosed case. I'm considering buying a new inner ear style headset soon anyway (as soon as the manufacturer releases a straight plug version that doesn't need an adapter), they suggested I get back to them early in May. This will hopefully resolve the whole issue.
Another think I did not mention: the bend of the headphone mini-USB like jack is done in the wrong direction !! I can't believe it. Mine is bent to the right, which is very annoying to take the stylus in and out !
Do you have your headphone mini-USB like jack bent to the left ??

No the headset that came with my HTC branded TyTN II bought in the UK have a straight plug with HTC moulded onto it. It sounds like you dont have the original headset that comes with the TyTN II (at least not here in the UK).

Hi guys !
You were correct, I mixed up the headphones of the HTC Kaiser and the HTC TyTN 1. This is because I had a HTC TyTN 1 (I still have it) before my current HTC Kaiser.
Here is a picture of the headphones of sold with my HTC Kaiser and my HTC TyTN 1 :
Original headphone sold with my HTC Kaiser:
There is no volume slider which is really annoying for me to ajust the sound ! (on the PPC it is cumbersome to change it)
Original headphone sold with my HTC TyTN 1:
The mini-USB jack is bent to the Wrong direction, which is really annoying to get the stylus In and Out of its slot.
So both of them have big drawback !
If you want some earphones of the type that go right into your ear then Seidio may have something in the not to distant future (currently the plug is bent as per TyTN 1 but in an email response to me they said to get back to them around now for an update). I think in terms of getting such a product to market quickly, the more the merrier who contact them about this (and ask for a good holder box/case with them).
Yes, that would be a good news, do you have a photo of the beta product ? or link to it ?

No but I imagine it'll be a cross between this 2-IN-1 InEar ISOLATOR and the straight plug as per your standard TyTN II headset. As for the case/holder, thats anyones guess but as I'm wanting a non retractable one, it's important they do that right. You may want to see if they're after any Beta testers?
I do agree with you a retractable cable it not that good because it is a weight when you use your earbud.
What about this headset: http://www.expansys.fr/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=155073
Apparently you can plug any earbud on it.
Does it have a volume slider ?
Does it have a straight mini-USB ?

Not only that but the retractor mechanism is another part to break and I prefer the KISS formula for such things!

The picture shows a 3.5 mm (1/8") plug on the headset itself with an adapter plugged into it so it can be used with a TyTN II. It's also a standard size 'outer ear' type earbud rather than the sort I want that go right into the ear canal. No vol slider shown (or mentioned) and as it's described as suitable for a TyTN II it must come with HTC’s 'ExtUSB' plug on the end of the adapter. In short, if you want an outer ear solution you're better off getting the original style headset with ExtUSB plug built in so there's no need for an adapter or added complexity and cost.

This one here bends to the left & therefore doesn't get in the way of your stylus (you can take that statement in so many different ways )... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2169054&postcount=7
I contacted the Seido online people for an update recently and got a most unhelpful response. Following from the earlier promising email I received, it appears nothing has been accomplished. I can't believe they're not interested in tweaking their product by fitting a straight plug (which they already use on their adapter anyway) so TyTN II users can use their product without problems. I also got the door slammed regarding my querie about a suitable storage case. Maybe the operator was having a bad day - I know I was after that call.
Has anyone else had any luck sourcing an inner ear style headset with mic and answer button which doesn't require an adapter for the TyTN II? What about a storage case for it? I found the 'earbuddy' for ipod headphones but after speaking with a staffmember at a company selling them, he advised me that his mobile phone headset with mic didn't fit as the earbuddy was to small and didn't have space for the mic.

Plantronics Pulsar 855 Stereo Bluetooth Headset
I let it hanging loose when I listen to music (its hanging balanced around my neck), otherwise I have I have connected it to this Telenor neckless in the end (the plastic thingy I used prolly weigh about 3g or so). Thats daily usag, hanging around my neck ready to just pop out and put into my ear on incomming calls or so.
I got that idea from one of the latest jabra pieces who are shipped out whit same solution, only not fancy as mine

I have found this a way to avoid knot in the headphon thread: http://www.proporta.fr/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=2473&t_mode=des
Thanks for your replies chris247. I've also seen those extUSB to 3.5 mm adapters but alas that would still mean an extra join in the system which I don't want. Aside from something else to possibly come unplugged, it's an extra part to potentially fail and extra weight pulling on the cable.
As far as the cable tidy goes I've also seen those things shaped like a dog bone but since finding the sendstation 'earbuddy' http://www.sendstation.com/us/products/earbuddy/ for ipod headphones (and seeing someone coil up there headphones and store them away in a purpose made pouch while on the train), I'd rather something that fully encloses them and protects them as well.
In answer to the original question... I purchased a set of Sony headphones from my local Tesco about a year ago. Came with a little grey drawstring bag (about 3in square). Takes the TnTy II headset no problem.
Sony earphones set me back about £10 - bit much to pay for a bag tho'

Do you coil the wire up around anything first or just untangle it when you get them out of the bag? If anyone knows of a phone that does come with a dedicated holder for the supplied wired headphones (with a mic built in) - perhaps this could be bought as a spare part. Do any phone manufacturers know what a 'value added' accessory is?
I think the Sony accessory for the earplug is good idea:
It is a good way to protect the fragile earplugs
Well.. I've got a problem:
Today I wanted to use my Samsung headset that came with the S2, plugged it in, and the music sounded wierd. Like there was an echo, or if all my music was a karaoke version..
Turns out:
Non-Headset headphones work perfectly, but the "3-ringed-jack" headset does not work! I do not have another headset to test this, but the headset works @my pc (got a connector for that..)
So the 3.5mm jack at my S2 seems to be broken?
I will try a software reset (right now I am @stock rom+root) and then send it to Amazon. Anyone heard of that problem or got some ideas?
Breece
[edit]
Reset didnt help, but the headset does *not* work on my Nexus one (same problem) but my BH905i do not work on both phones with the 3.5mm jack (the one that has "3 rings")
Did you push the pin in far enough?
For 3 weeks I didn't know I had to push it hard into the jack, until it clicks. After that, it was perfect. I'm using Ultimate ears 220vi, 3 ring.
That has to be the pin. you must give it a good press to seat it properly.
The SGS2 headset jack is a bit 'finicky'. Some aux cables / headsets work, some sound funny or do not work and yes, one has to ensure it is really pushed in firmly.
I pushed as if my life depended on it Just last week the headset worked...

The same thing happened to me, but I noticed ealier.
I re-installed the firmware but nothing seems to help. I guess its hardware..
Will send it back to Amazon today...
Maybe the headset is broken after all, who knows
Just an update:
Has been @ the amazon repair center for two days and apparently something did indeed brake in the hardware... atleast it says on the homepage "being repaired"
Now I hope the S2 will be back soon.. want to flash 2.3.4
Shoot I was just about to ORDER a replacement Audio Jack, until I read the second poster reply. For me, my headset worked only by wiggling the cable around into the audio jack in order to finally hear sound (had do this every single time and was very annoying), the audio did sound distorted and the mic would never work :-(
I personally thought that I inserted the cable in the audio jack as hard I could (after many attempts having this phone for 2 months)
but after reading kaotickelly's reply, I noticed i never EVER heard a click before inserting the cable in the jack throughout many attempts.
So I put my "trying to over protect my phone" ignorance aside, and FORCED the dam thing in, and it clicked!!! not only did I forced it, but I didn't scratch or break phone as i feared, Headset sounded correctly without any distortion and microphone worked!
Unlike Breece, my audio jack now works and I got to UPDATE to 2.3.4! (Don't take it personal)
GOOD-LOOKING OUT KAOTICKELLY!
Hello people,
I've finally had enough with the headphone problems many have reported, the distorted sound and triggering voice commands. I've previously swapped the jack with a new one(had to buy a whole mid frame) and now it's started doing it again, about a month later(the original one lasted just as long).
The issue is that this phone is huge and when using it in my pocket with the headphones on, it moves that jack with every step. This wouldn't be a problem if the jack was soldered on or at least wired to the board, but instead it's just placed on top.
So I've decided I want to solder it on. I'm a bit scared as I've never soldered to a pcb board... And I might desolder other items. I'm going to hone my skills first on some other broken devices, but at this point I'm pretty sure I'll do it in the end.
Has anyone else here done this? Want to watch me possibly destroy this otherwise great phone? Heh.
Ty
Dude you're nuts. Just go get some Bluetooth headphones, it's 2016!! I literally haven't used my headphone jack more than 3-4 times in the 4 months I've owned this phone.
Also, I'm pretty sure the headphone jack isn't soldered in specifically so that if the jack moves around a little it won't cause damage to the board. This is common on most/all phones. Soldering it down would be a TERRIBLE idea. You will likely damage your phone.
Why didn't you just send it in for warranty repair?

Hi, I couldn't send it in because I unlocked it, which voided the manufacturer warranty. If I remember correctly on my old galaxy s4 it was plugged in with a cable, which was a much better solution. The reason my sound interrupts is because when it moves, it moves the pins on the board causing slight interruptions.
However the pins in the jack are long enough and soft enough that they would bend first instead of breaking the board.
And about Bluetooth headphones? I've bought 3 different sets, they either have huge controllers hanging and pulling on one side, or they are too big, or they're poor quality, I've spent more than I want to admit on different sets (see attachment).
So today I'm going to try and solder the jack, and throw this phone away if I break it and buy a small one, that doesn't put that much pressure on the jack in my pocket.
Stay tuned. I should take pictures.
No go
Well, it didn't work. I knew it would be hard to solder the little legs that where under the actual jack. Getting them all melted and touching before they cool down, without melting the plastic or the rubber around the jack was not possible in the end.
Only 2 of the 5 pads actually stuck together, and there was only a buzz coming from the headphones. I decided to open it again and remove the solder just in case something was shorted, I didn't want the sound chip to get toasted. My biggest mistake was leaving the glue on the jack, which stuck to the mid-frame. When I pulled that apart, the jack, with the two pads came with it.
I'm putting the pictures up if anyone wants to have a look at the mess, you can see in the first and second picture why my sound is interrupting: the pad is damaged from continuous friction.
The phone still works so I've lost nothing other than my time.
BTW, at the moment I'm using wired headphones to a Bluetooth adapter. Until they make smaller/lighter wireless headphones I'm stuck with this.
They got Bluetooth without the wire hanging thing that bugs ya (bugs me too) don't have a name or link right now but a quick Google search should pull them up

Yea, I saw Jordan Keyes review these ones. They are too much like having screws screwed in your ears. If they can get them smaller, and still have 2-3 hours battery, I'll be interested.
I am not sure how the LG Tone type of Bluetooth ear buds are any more intrusive than regular earbuds with a cord hanging down the side of your body! They definitely last a long time for me.

Use this instead, it's a taotronics tt-br05 Bluetooth wireless receiver, you can plug your wired headphones in it and use Bluetooth instead of the 3.5mm plug.
