Disabling Headset

Hi to all,
as seen in my previous post my jasjar is thinking the headset is still plugged-in even if not.
Tried all, including reflashing. nothing. The fact is that in call the speaker on button doesn't work. I have no sound coming from the speaker, unless some ringtone or stranger things (playin' mp3's nothing but during play having an incoming call switch on for few seconds the mp3 song then stop starting the usual ringtone)
I know it's an electrical problem in the jack, but i was wondering if there's a possible to disable at all that jack. I was looking into the registry without luck.
The problem is that the speakers are working, it's only the jack that think is still plugged-in.
I'm not interested to use the headset so is there any way to stop JJ think about the jack connector??
any ideas?

I think this is a hardware problem..
I think the jack connector has a sensor/mechanical switch that tells other hardware weather to activate headset circuits or not..
I know it's an hardware issue.
At this moment my jasjar is playin fine with a stylus inserted in the jack forcing the jack a little up.
I don't wanna send it to repair caus i have to wait a minimum of 1 month here in italy.
i wanna open my device to see what's wrong, anyone knows hot to open without problem or if it breaks the warranty?
any suggestions?
Opening your device will void your warranty!
The way I see it, there are two ways to resolve this problem:
1: Take a paperclip or a knitting neelde and do what you do with the stylus, only make the change permanent.
This may result in a broken jack connector and no way to use the headset.
2: Get it repaired (under warranty?) by a certified repairshop.
thhere is a llink in this forum to the htc technical manual . it is not easy to take apart and will void your waranty. the same happened to my phone it had to ggo back to tmobile
I've had the same problem with my Himalaya...
just jammed the headset plug back in and out, and the problem was over... Seems the tip of the plug doesn't allways correctly reenables normal audio out...

Audio not working - i'd be really grateful if anyone could offer assistance

Hi there
This is my second O2 mini-XDA. The sound on the phone doesn't seem to want to work anymore. I can't hear alarms, hear anything making phone calls. It happened once before with this phone and seemed to go away by itself. I've got some important data on the phone so I'd love to not have to send it in. Anyone have any ideas about how to sort it?
Cheers

Try if you got the sounds thru a headset..
It's possible that the microswitch inside the headphone connector is stuck.
I had the same problem. When I inserted mij headphone a few times it was solved.
The microswitch is for switching of your speakers and activate your headset.
Good luck
volume bubble
tap volume icon on start bar and turn the volume to on!
I had the same issue with the original Imate XDA. There is an issue with some of the HTC phones in which the cable of the speaker is broken. The easiest way to check it is to connect a headset and then see if it is working or not. If the sound is still not working, then you will need to replace the D2A audio chip. Is your phone under warrenty?
Regards,
A very common problem - had the same problem (fortunately, my PDA is still under warranty and, therefore, it was repaired for free). The chip that switches between the wired headset and the three built-in speakers just died and had to be swapped.
Some other people also state this can also be caused by using the wired headset, which causes shortouts when you insert / remove it.

can you use headphones only (no headset) without the mic being switched off?

Just received my Touch HD today and had to realize that when you plugin a normal set of headphones, the telephone gets into headset mode and the its built in microphone doesnt work any more until you plug the headphones out.
is there any way to avoid this?
I wouldn't imagine so... It's a feature where it knows something's in the headset socket, so it deactivates the mic...

no sound plz help

ok i hAVE A TMOBILE MDA2 i used to have sound, but it stopped wotking, i just upgraded to wm6.1, but maybe there is a sound driver that i need or something? 9before i used to have wm2003) which didnt have sound eather, thats why i thought the up5grade would fix this? also before it said turn on bluetooth radio.... i have no idea what that means
if the actuall speaker piece is broken maybe someone could tell me where to buy a speaker piece? i doubt that thou..
many people exp that the headset switch inside the audio connector get stuck
and their device only play out the headset
they fix it by inserting and removing the headset from 1 to many times
which can unstick the switch
or they change the headset connector

Headphone jack problem?

Hey guys,
I anytime I try to use headphones with a built in mic, it doesn't work correctly. I have to fiddle with the plug to get the mic to work. In the mean time as I move it in and out slightly, the damn music app keeps launching. Any way I can turn off the auto launch of the music app? Any idea why the mic is so finicky? (other than a bad jack or being dirty?)
Thanks
I guess you need to change your headphone and mic...Most probably there's a break in the cable near the jack...commonest problem encountered in wired jack...
I should have specified that I have tried 2 sets of headphones, both of which work fine in my Skyrocket. Also, when I say "fiddle" with it, I mean pulling int in and out slightly, not putting pressure on the cable. I really can't understand why the friggin music player keeps popping up when I do this.
I'd still bet that the problem is somewhere around the female jack of the device...maybe it's loose. Guess you'd have to take it to a servicing center and get it fixed. Try using a pin to pull up the inner prong inside the female jack. This may tighten a loose connection.
Regarding your music player popping up, I have no idea.
I have the same problem and because of that, using tab as phone is impractical, the volume it too low and I need to pull the jack a bit to fix the issue.
are you using the earphones that came in with the tab? I also have this issue before then again, I realized that I didn't push the plug deep enough (you should hear a click/snap)
regarding the Music player launching, you can try looking for the "autostarts" app, and disable "launch musicplayer when headset is plugged in event" it requires root though
It seems to me that, in my case, the plug goes a bit too deep(I used original and the one i had from my galaxy S phone, same thing). It seems that the port is defective in some way.
