[Q] Stuck on headset mode? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

idk what happened to it but suddenly my mytouch4g is stuck in headset mode... this wouldn't bother me that much except for the fact that I can't call or the speaker doesn't work for games/movies aswell... I have tried hard resetting it and nothing works. because of some reasons, i can't return the phone or exchange it. is there some program that bypasses headset mode? i know speakers still work because the FM radio app still plays out of speakers when switched to that mode, and the alarms work, but not being able to call people kinda defeats the purpose of the cell phone itself....
right now im using a samsung gravity 1. if anyone knows that phone, you will know that it is a pretty big downgrade from the mytouch 4g... haha thanks for any help in advance!

Try cleaning the contacts in the headphone jack.

i have. i have also tried putting in headphones and then resetting hte device, and removing it after it reboots but that doesnt work either.... its weird because it detects when it is in headphone mode but once i remove the headphones the icon becomes the headset icon; the one with the microphone+headphones

Is your myTouch running stock ROM or have you flashed anything?

suddenly no sound?!?

hi there
i have a Hermes, exactly the T-Mobile version..
anyway it worked fine till one day i got no sound at all, no mp3 no notifications, nothing....
except the boot up sound... checked the forums, seems it's a common problem, and i figured that the rear speaker works (since the boot up sound comes from it), the speaker cable is connected so i have no clue... if it would be broken, than the boot-up sound wouldn't come at all from the rear speaker, riight?
changed like 5-6 ROMs so far, from 6 to 6.5, no changes with sound...
any clue guys what to do?
I'd need to solve this asap...
thx for any solution
can please someone at least confirm me if my rear speaker is dead or not?
cos i hear the boot up sound from it but no other sounds...
please ,its urgent, thx
Well, the first thing that i would consider doing is backup my important data and do a hard reset....why don't you try that too....?
okay
got from ebay a new speaker... changed it and it doesnt work either...
hard reset and changing the ROM (6-7 of them) didn't help...
at beginning the sound could be heard at boot only while playing music, ringing and that stuff was mute... after 2 days the sound at boot disappeared too...
so, does anyone have a solution? when i plug the microUSB to 3.5mm adapter i can hear the sound on my earphones, but there is no sound when played normally on the ppc itself...
can anyone help me to solve this? where could be the problem?
thanks
okay...
going mad really... now i flashed an original AT&T US rom (although i have a tmobile EU) and guess what.... i hear the sound back again, but only at boot up... other sounds in winmo (ring, mp3, music, programs) are dead... can't hear anything although the volume is set at max...
so... i assume this can't be a hardware issue..
before this ATT i changed like 6 more different roms and all with same problems... now i have sound only at bootup... does anyone know where is the problem and a possible solution?
thanks
cmon guys... don't tell me no one has no idea what to do.....
i've been flashing and reflashing the roms but so far i can get only the boot up sound... any other sound is not available.. why? how to repair it?
thx
it's funny to see you can ask sometimes questions no one knows to answer
you've tried it by using the head set...?
whether the results were the same as well (no sound)..?
when using a headset (extUSB) there is sound and everything is normal...

you'd better check the speakers on your device , may be the connecting cable is damaged and if necessary you replace ....
I have the same problem here!!!Have you fixed that??Can you suggest me something, please???
Hi all... new here
I also have the same problem on my AT&T 8525. The Telephone speaker works but the phone doesn't ring or give audio notifications any longer. I've done a hard reboot 3 times. Bluetooth audio works fine. But no speakerphone. If anyone has a solution we'd appreciate it!
Thanks!!!

you see in the WIKI, because there is described several ways to increase the BT A2DP sound quality and sound notification by Changing the Registry

Cyanogenmod 6 - Low volume in calls

I'm having problems with the in call volume. It's really low in regular calls, but if I make a call on skype it is really loud. I tried applying an Audio Hack if found on cm forums but it just caused the phone to keep crashing. Anyone know what to do? It can't be because I'm on At&t right?
Have u tried to just reflash it to see of that worked? Or do another wipe and flash.

Just reflashed and I think it worked. Gonna test it a few more times though. Thanks slinky1914.
im having the same problem, everything was fine until i flashed the #teamfenix2.0 mod and now I can barely hear phonecalls! Im assuming they can hear me fine though. Ive reflashed and everything still the same problem.

HTC HD2 weird speaker issue

I have a T-mobile HD2.
HSPL 2.08
Radio: 2.15.50.14
MAGLDR 1.13
EXT4 recovery
Its just few months old and i'm experiencing this weird bug..
Everytime i install a new rom be it android windows or even the stock 6.5....i'm able to hear the caller for first few calls and then i cannot get any sound from phone..but when i put my phone in SPEAKER mode its normal ..i can hear everything.
If i plug headset..i get normal sound.
But the phone inbuilt speaker doesn't function after a few calls on any rom!
There has been no physical damage to the phone...
Please Help me ..if anyone knows the possible problem
Try replacing the earpiece.. it might help.. its cheap !
Thanks for your reply ...but the thing is when I first install any ROM everything works properly (microphone, inbuilt earpiece) ..after some time both stop working the caller on other side cannot hear me and even my voice is not audible to him that means both my microphone and inbuilt earpiece don't work!..I guess replacing will not help because everything works fine in the beginning!.
Any other possibilities?!
I'm clueless

Urgent help with galaxy s4

Hey guys this thing thats been happening to me is absulotely mind boggling and if anyone can resolve this it would be greatly appreciated. it bugs me like theres no tomorrow.
so heres the issue.
i have a samsung galaxy s4 with all the latest updates provided Android Version 4.2.2
when im travelling along in the car or even randomly seated i would receive a call or even make a call and place my phone on loudspeaker now the funny thing here is that the phone after maybe 10-20 seconds will automatically switch back to normal speaker and it annoys me so i have to put it back on loudspeaker mode
ive had the occasional scene where it still showed that loudspeaker was activated but the caller was coming through the normal speaker so it forces me to tap loudspeaker to de-activate it and then tap it again to activate only to realise not long after it automatically switched back to the normal speaker all over again.
NOTE: the phone is laying flat on my lap or standing infront of me.
has anyone had this issue before and is there some sort of fix for it
PLEASE HELPPP !!!

Phone earpiece not working after using speaker phone

My phone app messes up when I use the speaker phone. Speaker phone works, but when I turn it back off to use the earpiece, I don't get get any audio through the earpiece anymore no matter how much I toggle the speaker phone, but the speaker phone will continue to work so I'm pretty much forced to use it if I enabled it. Been doing it since I first installed the Pure Nexus ROM on marshmallow and every update since then after multiple clean installs.
I've posted the issue a few times in the Pure Nexus ROM thread with hardly any acknowledgement, so I have to think this isn't an issue with the ROM specifically.
The earpiece is very sporadic though, sometimes it will work street using the speaker phone (or a BT connection to my car or headset) and sometimes it won't. Seems to be about a 50/50 chance, so that makes it pretty weird.
I've tried using the AOSP and Google dialer/phone app with the same issue on both and made sure they were set as the phone app in the app info settings. I also uninstalled/disabled the other phone app woke using the other to ensure no conflicts occurred. Not sure what else to try.
Of course I'm rooted, running Franco Kernel and not using Xposed framework.
Any help is appreciated.
Guess no one here has any idea either?
