As title says, it used to work properly with both left and right headphones working properly, however now only the right earpiece outputs sound no matter what I try, played music, games, video and all have the same problems.
Could have been something I did with the phone, could have accidentally made it output in the right earphone only. if so, how do I fix it...
Tried other pairs of earphones and all experience the same problems too, the contact should be working as when i insert a earphone, i can hear the electrical contacts being made on the earphone
You can isolate instantly whether it's software or hardware by just reinstalling the firmware.. Then you'll know for sure (when I worked at a Apple reseller, restoring iPod's was the first action I told everyone to take if they didn't know what was wrong)
But I have yet to have seen any balance controls.
Are you using the Samsung earphones that were supplied with the phone? Samsung, and Nokia, use a different configuration to most phones as far as the four-pin socket is concerned, so if you are using any other make, the chances are that only one channel is connected. Also make sure you are using earphones with a FOUR pin plug, not the standard three pin supplied with mp3 players.

Standard stereo mini-jack is a universal wiring standard, i.e. tip and two barrel contacts for ground and left/right channels. The fourth barrel contact is usually used for composite video.
If anyone decided to wire their socket differently then you'd never get any earplugs/headphones to work without an adaptor and it would be a totally stupid thing to do.
To the original poster, check whether you've adjusted balance settings to only one side. Not sure how you do that since haven't got mine yet.
Using stock headphones, have not changed any settings to output in right earphones only.will try re flashing when I can
This may sound a bit dumb but you checked you actually properly pressed the jack into the socket? Just asking because the first time I listened to something on my SGS I had the same problem just to notice that the socket was actually tight enough so that the jack wasn't completely in, once I pressed it the missing 1-2mm in the whole thing changed

though that this could have been the problem as well,pushed it all the way in but stop no luck.
Reflashed firmware, still have the problem.... This is already the second problem with my phone, if you have been frequenting this forums you would know that i have also posted a problem with my camera.
So gotta bring down to Samsung svc centre again?
Is there any way i can ask for a 1 to 1 exchange since i have gotten a lemon device...

Yes I'd assume if you describe to them that some key functions don't work properly they should give you a new one, for instance the audio output isn't only for listening to music but also works as the handsfree socket so it is rather vital. You just got a bad copy so go and ask them

Just went down to Samsung svc centre today and described my problems,asked for a replacement and all they replied was "sorry sir, we do not do 1 to 1 exchanges"... Damn was really hoping to get a new phone, anyway now its with them and hope they don't screw anything up with it.
Sound Problem
You solved the problem? I have the same problem sounds to me more slowly in the left side of the headphone. I using Dark Knight 3.
I had such a problem with my old k800i mobile. After buying new earphones, the problem was solved.
Sound Problem
I tried, but no results
the sgs ( GT-I9000 ) uses a different type of wiring for the headphones, is the same nokia uses for the N95, the sgs2 headset wont work! the galaxy tabs headsets wont work, the iphone/ipod headsets wont work!!!!! why??? because the wiring is different!! why?? ask samsung!
ok, are you using the same headset? if yes, try to use them in someone else sgs (gt-i9000) if they work then it's your phone, if they don't ask if you can use his headset in yours, if they work then is your headset, just get a new one keeping in mind what i just told you.
if you narrowed it down to your phone being faulty.. (it happened to me too... ) and I just saw that you are waiting for it to be fixed, just wait until you get it back... ( i hope they will fix it for you too)... in my case they changed the logical board, so it's basically a new phone on the inside.
good luck.

I lost the loudspeaker-sound in my Himalya. It works using headphones. I think it may have to do with another set of headphone I connected to it, which was not original. Perhaps it put the device on permanent headphone mode. But then again it might not have anything to do with that.
Is there a Himalaya expert in Berlin - Germany who might be able to help me with it? I dread having to send it to the official reapir center, as I expect it to cost a neck and a hand.
Happened to me when I received a call whilst listening to music. I pulled the headphones out before answering the call, and then answered it. I could here them but they cvouldn't hear me. If you plug the headphones in again and remove them it solves the problem. Well it did for me anyway
I tried that. I doesn't do it. It doesn't matter what kind of sound, if Media Player file is played of phone ringing, only the headphones work. I think I need a dotor.
I have read a lot about the problem in others threads. It seems the headphone-jack can get stuck, not making a contact, which normally is being made and which turns the XDA back to speaker mode, when the headphone-jack is pulled out. Hereto:
1- What does that mean exactely? Which part is that, in what part in the on-board jack? If it had been bent out of place, is it possible to bend the part pack (at best without having to disassemble)? (I tried the ramming in and out, no go).
2- I looked at the non-original jack I had used and it is about 2 mm longer than the original. Might perhaps that explain it? Is there a part in the back that could have been bent out of place?
3- If indeed this was the problem (if the jack had been bent out of place, one way or another), would the microphone work? I can record using the dictaphone and the micophone also works during a call.
When we had himalaya's it happened to both of our devices (my wife and I had one each).
It appears the spring in the speaker can come loose. I used to bang mine (pardon the pun) on my palm and sometimes it would start to work. Then we broke the speaker protection shield, and this made it easier sometimes and hard to fix in others.
When I sold it, my friend took it apart as it was out of warranty, and as he is electrically minded, he find the dodgy bit, and soldered it to the device, and now works perfectly.
Yes! Thanks Jasjar. It worked after a bit of beating.
I found a detailed instruction of how to fix it permanently in another thread. Sounds complicated and dangerous but eventually I must do it.

Sorry for kicking the topic, but this was the solution for me. I just poked in the headphone-jack with a little stick and tataaaa... my sound is back!
Sound lost problem
Hi all,
same happen to me, the sound stoped working (on my side it had nothing to do with the phone jack).
After the modifaication which is described in this forum i had still the same problem so i solder the loud speaker directly - still same problem...
After some time i flashed the device again, now it works, so on my side it was a software problem...
The device was 3 month out of power, but i think remove the battery and if the sound appears on startup (on first boot) but later not, then flash the os and it will work ...

XDA 2 sound problem...
Hi!
Plese help me!
I have strange problem with my XDA 2.
I bough it 2 days ago. It was in O2 network.
Now when I unlocked it for my network (polish ERA-GSM) I saw that when I'm calling I cant hear anything. Person from the other sight can't hear me too..
XDA have sound becose I used media-player ando other sound stuff, thats why I think that speaker is ok. Microphone is ok too becose I can record animations with sound.
So what should I do now? ;/
Plese help...
Just for reference:
A friend of mine had this 2020, and both Speakerphone and mic were not working.
When somebody called, the ringtone DID sound.
Anyway, bluetooth handsfree worked fine.
All we did was play with the jack, using the stylus! Not even headphones...
And now it works fine!
He says he'll never put phones on it again... lol
cu around!
Looking for more Info
Hi, please help me find which points in the MDAII Motherboard can I solder to disable the headphones and get the audio and mic back to the MDA.
After a while my headphone-jack is broken from the motherboard and now I only have the pin outs in it.
The device is working perfect, and I can use bluetooth headphones. I just don't have audio in the speaker and no mic without bluetooth.
I hope someone can tell me which of the red points en the picture can I solder to disable the headphones.
I just want to do this temporally until I get a replacement spare part for it.
Thanks
EDIT: 12-12-2007
I got it. Just joining 1 and 3 and you will get audio back to the PDA disabling the headphones jack.
Thanks anyways for reading this..
Did you find out what all the mboard pins are for the jack?
I have a dodgy jack and would like to take flying leads of the mboard jack to an external (easily changed) inline jack. Does any know what the 1 to 6 pins correlate to. I would like to still switch the audio via the external jack. Not bothered about the mic.
TIA.
Hi all
It would be great if you shed some light on the problem
Xda exec had a fall!..since then no sounds at all, phone won't ring or won't play music...but has sound if i plugged the headphones in
Any theories/ideas what might have gone wrong...& possible solutions..
any help would be appreciated...thanxs
sound failed on xda exec
i also had the same issue but my handset was replaced as it was within 28 days of getting the handset
i never did manage to find the exact issue
when your handset fell did it have external sound / handsfree plugged in at the time
about the only thing that made any sense with mine was the possibilty of the micro switch / contacts of the externl audio jack being damaged
dont know if any of this info helps you at all but best of luck getting it sorted
Still no explanation for the no sound problem Xda Exec
Does anybody find out allready what's the problem with no sound on the Xda Exec.
I not speak about the problem with the external audio jack.
I can make cals like normal, I only can not play music or listen if somenone is calling me.
Thanks
its hardware problem with universals audiojack .. just open device ..remove board . plug headphones ... and see on connector /.... in most cases no sound issue cames from third pin of jack (thst pin detect plugged headpnones .. if it disconnected device plays in headphones if connected device plays on builtin speakers) if near end of it ...

You are shure that this willbe the problem, because I can make calls without the headphone. I was thinking that in the case that the connector gives the problem, I should also not be able to make any calls without using the headphone.
Anyway I was going to open my friend one day, to look what's up.

Ok, here we go.
We have hands, tools ( a hammer ) and 1 needle.
I think I forgot something, but...
I think the problem, when the problem is hardware,
is that when you put the headphone jack, the top of the jack he opens the microswitch what you see at first.
Ofcourse when this switch he stays also open when you take out the jack, than you have a problem.
And yes with a needle you can first open the contakt and than you can dress littlebit the position of the contakt.
I have only 1 problem on my tel, this switch is closed as well, when I take out the jack. The problem is not this switch.
here we go
Correct, I am shure that this is almost always the problem.
In fact the switch is closed in normal position, and he goes open when you put the headphones.
When he not close as well automatic than, you have a problem.
But in my case it is really not this switch, so I am still looking for the reason why I not have sound.
hi all
i have same probelem like you
my friend using my device for weeks and when she give it back to me i have no sound from my device & even from headset i call the i-mate center the girl told me maybe your jack is dameged but when i sent it to suport center they told me your flex cable is dameged by wrong rotating your device and we haven't that yet ....
they sent it back to me and after some day my screen shows nothing then i buoght a cable from ebay an change , now i have voice sound screen
&....
like before
i hope these usefull for you
This was exactly my issue, under that pinkbox you marked is the tiny tab that makes or breaks contact with the internal speaker. Because my headphones break the contact, this tab after much use was stuck in the open position even after the headphones were removed. When I did the procedure you mentioned magically, sound..wow. I am extremely greatful for your troubleshooting skill.
Thanks a million mo3ulla.
If only i had this fix 2 phones ago..hahhahah.

Hi lambrechts,
Did you manage to find out the reason?
i have the same problem, my device fell, but i didn't notice the problem until next day (i didn't use it) so i'm not sure if it is because of the drop.
I will open my device and check the Jack pins, but i want to know if you got any fix for this.

hey mo3ulla, did your method work after repeated use of the headphone port? did it get stuck again any time after you fixed it?
just asking cause i have this problem on my 9000 and haven't opened it yet so i don't want to open and close it repeatedly
thankss
I have this problem aswell. But I inserted a fork and twisted it around a little and now it works as it should again.
Bumping this thread. Should be a sticky or in the wiki.
Anyways,
I tried the pin trick back when I posted here, it worked but it wasn't permanent. Instead I put a crumpled piece of post-it note above the pink dot in the picture and it worked, up until recently. Does anybody have a method to bend the connecter back down? I'm probably not using the needle right, I press the pink spot, but it pops back up.
Ideas?
twisting the pin really helps. thanks for the solution. I tried to insert my headphone again and the pin always stucked. I'm trying to find a permanent solution for this. Maybe put something to push the pin to be connected everytime I remove the headphone...
I hope this helps. I found it very useful to my Dopod 900. I tried to connect my headphones (sounds works on my headphone) then I disconnect it and sounds works on my stereo/speakers.
*Please do it carefully in pushing the pin upward from inside the hole. Just push it a little bit just enough to touch the upper pin..
additional tip: after you fixed your device, try to install SRS Wow for great audio experience
Quick Fix
I found that if you apply a little pressure between the base and just above the send key this seems to work, I tried this tonight and will report back if goes again.

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,
I have a Problem with my Xperia X1.
The headphone jack is broken and the device will always return to the headset mode.
So I can not hear anyone during a conversation.
I would like to disable the headphone jack completely. Is there a program for that?
Are you sure it is broken?
Does it still deliver sound to a connected headphone?
Usually the detection of an inserted headphone plug is done via dis-connecting a contact in the socket where the plug is inserted (it re-connects when you pull out the plug). The same dis-connection will also happen if some dirt has accumulated at the place where this contact is, so it stays permanently dis-connected.
Over time dirt creeps into all holes of the devices and depending on your usage and storage style that may have happened now. Try to get that cleaned - maybe it helps.
I have however also seen devices where the connector of the socket to the PBA is simply ripped-off - no way to get that fixed afaik.
Luckily one of the wizards here (ultrashot) also has an X1 (as I remember) and he did a lot of true SW hacking to it, maybe he knows a way to intercept the driver or has a hint which driver to de-activate. Mind that he is very busy with really important stuff - so a simple hint may be the only thing you may get.
@ John Carter I have had the same problem for months now, at first it took a couple of mins for the headset icon to disappear after unplugged then it turned to hours and now days if I'm even lucky . I just found this today: HKLM/System/State/Hardware/Headset 0 .This disables the headset but for me it still does not play sound out the loud speaker like I hoped, in locksreen( I use S2u2) mode the headset icon is gone but when in the main interface the icon is still sitting on taskbar or topbar. It really sucks to have to use a mic headset connector to call and answer voice calls. I'm still searching for answer hopefully somethings comes up. Edit: It's a hardware problem not software.
First of all thank you for your answers.
@ tobbbie
The headphone jack is really broken = (
I've already tried to clean it but that dosent helped.
Thank you for your tip. I'm going to ask ultrashot maybe he can help me there.
@ Viper89
Are you sure it's not a software problem with you device?
For the headphone jack is not so important. I would unsolder him. But I do not know if that would still work.
I had also tried to play with the \status key in the registry with the same (non-) effects. I guess you have to intercept/kill the signal from the HW/driver that steers the other parts into what they do. Not sure where the HW signal enters the SW stack and if that could easily be altered (e.g. by dropping a device-driver). You could play with the HKLM\System\Drivers\builtin branch and then go for headset or alike. You may end up with a non-booting device, so take care to back up in case a hard-reset is needed.
If you are willing to play with soldering (and have some skills), try to solder the contacts of the socket new to the PBA. My guess is that the contacts have either come loose on top of the copper part of the PBA (then you can re-solder) or they have been ripped of the PBA including the copper. You then have to guess where the copper-lines went and re-solder. Worst you can un-solder all parts, but this is not easy to do without decent tools. You may bake the PBA around the socket and ruin the device fully in the end.

No it's definitively a hardware problem. I have actually stopped using my phone for music now and instead my mp3 player. I haven't seen the headset icon for 3 days now so maybe I'm in the clear. I think every time I kept plugging in my headphones to listen to music it kept re-aggravating the headset jack so I figured if I stopped using it completely maybe it will stop messing up and so far it has worked .
I used some really old iPhone headphones on my Note 3 the first day I had it, last week. I haven't had an iPhone since 2010, so I am talking super old and beaten to death. They worked fine.
I only mention this because I've read that some older headsets are not compatible with the S4 and Note 3.
Then I paired them with a pair of ARCTIC P253BT Bluetooth Stereo Headphones. The pairing worked, in theory. The phone and headphones seemed to think they were connected.
But all I got for audio was beeps from the headphones when it connected and the phone would play at the normal, holding-to-ear volume -- even when I clicked the button for headphones and jacked up the volume in Bluetooth Settings. This did not shock me because they are cheap headphones.
Later, I tried to use the Aux jack in my car -- no dice. Phone just acted like it didn't have headphones in.
Tried the old iPhone headphones again, phone acted like it did not have headphones in. I figured I at least had those.
Restarted -- same issue.
I realize this is a very low-level question for this forum. I have yet to ROM the phone and will probably wait until TouchWiz finally beats me down.
Part of the problem is that I had been rolling with a Nexus 4 on CM 10.2, I've been running CM for a year over multiple devices and I've never had a Samsung device.
So I just feel like I don't know how to solve anything. I realize asking for TouchWiz advice is like Yankees ownership asking Red Sox fans for advice, but I am taking a shot.
Any thoughts?
Sounds like you have a bad headphone jack or something wrong with the port connector in the motherboard. I would submit a warranty claim and get a new one.
Btw I've used Bluetooth headphones and the aux port in my car it works perfect.

Wow, seriously? I did not expect it to be that extreme. Whatever went wrong happened some time after I initially used the first set of ear buds.
So maybe I did it? I have been treating the thing like gold, though.
You say that it does nothing when you plug in a headphone right? Like there is nothing connected?

I've been having the same issue and it seems to correct itself if power my phone off/on, but I'm not happy about the headphone jack being so unreliable on a brand new phone. I've plugged in headphones and an aux out headphone cord and experienced this problem. When the issue arises, the phone will pause for a second as if it's going to send audio to the headphones or aux out device, the unit states "headphones connected" in the notification tray, and then within a second of doing so the audio continues to come from the Note 3 speakers instead of the headphones or external speakers.

It works for one second then either gets really dim or starts playing at the normal call volume (not speaker volume). I took it to the store today and They had no idea. They thought they were very clever when they first got it and I told them all the setting they were planning to try had already been confirmed. They went through the motions. No dice.
They think it is a hardware issue.
If it is a hardware and that is what it sounds like then, you can submit a manufacturer warranty claim with Verizon Wireless.

My solution to this behavior (YMMV, but I had the exact same behavior)
The issue ended up being the case. It was generating enough of a standoff that the AUX cable wasn't making complete connection. I think the Note is configured to only recognize a headphone output if both channels are making connection (which is slightly atypical behavior).
TL;DR: If you're having a similar problem, try taking off your case.

I'd like to add my voice to the chorus. Almost identical problem. Works perfectly on all other devices but not 2007 Saab aux. Worked with former Note 2. I tried 3 different cables. Plays fine for a little while then audio directed to phone speaker when notification sounds. I have no case. Pretty sure it's not cabling. Heard it was low impedance headphones. My carrier has not heard of this. I belive it's a compatibility issue with the aux port. Trying bluetooth alternative. I dislike the Hassel but at a loss for now. Maybe Kitkat?
I am having the same issue on a phone that is less than a week old. Headphones work, then later they don't. It shows them connected, briefly sends audio to earphone, then to phone speaker. Reboot fixes it.

I don't think this is a hardware issue as the behaviour doesn't really make sense. I suspect it has to do with the service that detects whether headphones are connected or not.
I have this issue from time to time with multiple pairs of headphones.
A restart usually fixes it, but not straight away. I usually have to wait a minute or two after the gui is loaded before the headphones will be detected again.
