[Q] Getting audio from speaker and headphones at same time - Epic 4G General

Okay, this just started happening a couple days ago and its incredibly irritating. When I plug in headphones to my Epic and start watching/listening to something, the audio comes out the speaker and the headphones at the same time. It doesn't matter what headphones I'm using - it even happens with the Samsung headset. I've tried re-plugging the headphones about 100 times, and I did notice that the speaker gets quieter when they are plugged in, so its gotta be detecting them. I've looked around for an answer, but the only one I've found is "reboot your phone". Rebooting does solve the problem temporarily, but it comes back. I think its ridiculous to reboot the damn thing every time I want to use headphones, so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks!

Audio/handsfree problem - please help!

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.

Sound Stopped :S

Not sure what happend, but when I plug in the headphones i can hear sound, when I take them off the phones sound isnt working :S
anyone got a clue?
Im on a Cingular8125 WM6
That's because there is a tiny switch at the bottom of the headphone jack that is known to get stuck sometimes. I've never had to do this little operation myself, but I've read many times about this same problem where it's been fixed using a toothpick or a straight pin by sticking it down the hole and moving it around a bit till it switches back. probably the easiest way to do it would be to play an mp3 or something when you do it so that you'll hear when it switches back.
I just wanted to add that in addition to trying xeno1's method you might also like to try plugging in and removing your headphones a few times. Some people have had a similar problem and solved it by doing this.
yea i eventually got it lol

Hissing/Popping/Interference with Headphones

Hi everyone
This just happened half an hour ago out of the blue. I was listening to some music and suddenly it started hissing and popping. I have iBeats headphones which I just bought yesterday. Now all the time when I use my phone to play music I get this interference.
I am on the 2.5 stock ROM. If it doesnt happen immediately once I plug the headphones in it starts immediately when I start to play something. Then it doesnt go away even when I pause it.
This issue doesnt happen on my computer with the same exact headphones so I'm guessing somethings gone wrong with the port?
EDIT: It doesnt happen if I take the plug out ever so slightly. It only happens if I plug it in all the way.
Beats always gives static for me I have beats tour...also for your issue try with another pair of earphones to be sure the problem is with your phone
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
It just started happening to me the other day. I'm using the stock headphones, and first noticed when I called a friend, apparently the microphone was causing her even worse noise.
I think it may just be a hair or something stuck in the bottom of the port as I can see something, but can't seem to get it out...
I just tried the headphones with another phone and the problem is still there. Does this mean it is the headphones at fault? I only just got them yesterday!
Checked again and it still doesnt happen on the computer...
EDIT: The problem seems to have gone. All by itself...but I will remain vigilant lol
I got the same thing especially when the phone is connected with the usb.
I think it was a bit of a reaction to static electricity. When I put on my anti-static wrist strap the problem disappeared. I dont think these headphones are electromagnetically shielded.

Headphone jack failing? I don't know...

So, I'm running into an extremely annoying problem with my G2. Just the slightest touch causes my headphone jack to stop sensing properly.
Example: I'll be listening to Google Music and i'll just ever so slightly move my headphone cable near the base of the 3.5mm headphone plug and suddenly the audio will stop as if I have unplugged my headphones. Yet, my headphones are still snapped in and once I press play again, the music continues on as if nothing has happened.
Some times my phone will go from headphones and speaker...headphones and speaker, headphones and speaker. It's as if it doesn't know my headphones are plugged in.
We are talking super light touching here. Any rotation of the plug while connected will cause it to fail. Simply picking up the phone will cause audio to suddenly stop. I'd be willing to bet that by simply blowing on the damn plug would cause it to fail. Hell, even a fart in the plugs direction would probably cause it to fail. That's how light of a touch I'm talking about here. Also, tapping and rotating the headphone plug while it's plugged in would cause Google Voice search to launch. Super weird.
I don't get whats going on. I see know damage in the headphone input...everything looks fine. I've babied this thing since it has arrived. It has been in a case ever since.
My headphones are good because I've tried them on multiple sources. Plugging in different headphones in to my G2 causes the same problems still. I've tried switching ROMs but the same thing still happens.
I'm at a loss here. I need some advice on what to do. Should I just call Verizon and get a replacement phone? Do I need to unroot to do that?
What a pain in the ass.

I think I might be having a similar problem as yours but with a different device (Square card reader). When I plugged it in the first few times there was a good sturdy click and it felt like it was being held in the jack well. But now it pulls out of the jack too easily, and a light touch causes the reader to disconnect. It seems like the contacts for the headphone jack may have been pressed in or something because it only maintains good contact if i hold a little pressure on the reader.
Either way, I don't like my options since I can either go on with a dysfunctional headphone jack, which might be ok since I use bluetooth more often than the jack, or I can try to get a replacement from LG which will likely be a refurb. I'm rooted too and assume I'd have to unroot in that situation. What to do...
Ever figure out your issue, OP? I'm having the same issue right now.

I think I pushed the plug in too hard on mine and caused the jack to loosen. Amazon replaced the phone for me no questions asked. They continue to amaze me.

Music playback pauses for no reason

I'm having an issue with pretty much every N rom I've tried - when I play music using wired headphones or with an AUX cable hooked up to my car, the music will stop randomly, usually every few minutes. Sometimes I'll get lucky and it won't do it for a while, but regardless, it still happens. I've tried a handful of different apps, AUX cables and headphones, and it always happens. Playing music using Bluetooth or the phone speaker causes no problems. Also, I disabled battery optimization for every app I've tried and still get pauses, and I've cleaned the headphone jack with rolled up tape to make sure there's no dirt or lint in there. I'm out of ideas and couldn't really find anything here on XDA or searching on Google. Please help, and thanks!
have you tried with another headphone? your headphone's cable might be little bit broke, so ur phone detect that the jack is unplugged, and it stopped automatically. (bad english srry, im trying to help)
Thanks for the reply, but I already said I tried different headphones and AUX cables
I can't be the only one experiencing this issue
I am facing the same issue as you do.
Yep, same here. Happened on pretty much every Nougat Rom out there.
I just looked through the settings on my phone and poweramp (Beta, don't know about the stable version) has a setting for this exact problem and it seems to work
