[Q] Trouble using earphones - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sometimes when I plug my earphones in, the music player shows it as playing, but there's no sound in the earphones. When i remove them, it works fine through the speakers. Tried using different earphones, but same result. Have to restart the phone to be able to use the earphones again.
I have been experiencing this problem since 3 days now.
Has anybody else experienced similar problems? Any solution?
I'm using stock Gingerbread on Moto Defy+.

Please ask all questions in Q&A. Thread moved there.

At first, I see only 2 options, despite trying another ROM:
1 - Try other music players.
2 - Be sure that you haven't changed any option in any Voice Search / Dialer. And if you have changed, try to reset to default options.

Hmn... in tha case, there's still a lot of things to do.
If the problem is with the phone's jack, you can try to clean it with a blow or compressed air.
There's a bunch of apps, like Ringo Pro, that are known to cause some similar issues, as reported in this thread: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/6f261e8427?commentId=564506#564506
After all, if you'r not willing to root and flash other roms in your phone, you might also try bluetooth earphones.

If dust etc were the problem, it wouldnt have worked after restart.
I went through the forum in the link. I havent installed any such app recently. The post might be useful for future though, thanks for that.

Problem with Fresh2.0d

Hey guys, today I basically re-did the fresh 2.0d rom (Freshly installed), uninstalling some apk from it. Mostly the HTC widgets... I installed Launcher.apk to have a droid like dock.
I am having an issue though, when ever i try and send an mms, I get an error which says "Generic network error". Is the Mms apk not fully supported in this rom?

You are on Sprint, correct? Mms.apk (the one included in fresh) is fully working, no issues at all. Assuming you didn't replace it with something else then it should be fine.
Try updating your profile and prl a couple of times (do profile, then prl, then profile, then prl) and see if it works itself out.

Thanks Flipz, I appreciate the feed back, yes I'm on sprint. Using chompSMS, which to my understanding uses Mms.apk as it's middle man.
Anyways i'll update and get back to you on it. And no i didn't replace it.
EDIT: Also tested it using the default messaging app.
Sorry to double post but apparently that did nothing, I'm beginning to think I should factory reset it.

You could try flashing fresh on top of itself first without a wipe to see if that helps. If not then go ahead and try doing a data wipe. There haven't been any data issues reported and it's been out for quite some time.

Ok it's fixed, I did the profile and pri update a last time just to be sure and it worked.
Ok, now that one bug is down, here is another. When I end a call at times it doesnt make the "BEEP" notifying me the call has ended, (-usually- when i use the end call button on the touch screen) When the beep doesn't sound i instantly know the bug has appeared since I've had it so many times. This bug wont allow me to dial anyone out, or does it? I'm not sure. Why? Because no sound comes out of my speakers. At all, even the tones for adjusting volume.

That's actually a known bug with this leak and affects all roms based on it. It's some type of conflict with HTC music. You can check here for a possible fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657244
Oh great thanks for the help again, In the future i will keep in mind to search the forums better.
Edit: -Odd, I dont even use the music player-

I've also heard theories that it's related to contacts sync happening. Honestly I've never once had it happen to me, but a lot of people have.

[Q] Notification halts music playback

So I've searched using "keywords" and scoured through many similar posts on this issue within the forum and through Google with no luck, so I'm posting this request now.
Is there any way to prevent a new message/text notification sound from halting music playback?
I hook up my phone to the car to blast the music but when I get a text, it stops/halts/pauses the song, plays the notify sound, and then resumes playback.
I don't want to turn off the notifications all the way, I just want to have the notify sound play OVER or ON-TOP of the music playback
The phone is still running just the stock rom, but if you guys suggest an app or rooting, then I will do whatever it takes, thanks!
This is part of MOST phones. My phone does it, the G1 does it, my friends BB does it.
thanks fenixnr....so is there nothing that can be done to correct this on an Android device?
I know in the past I've had Windows Mobile devices with the same issue (Xperia X1) and some of the ROMs I flashed on it corrected the issue while others did not. My HD2 doesn't have this problem and it has a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack too.
Am I the only one who has noticed this
I was hoping someone else would have wanted the same thing resolved.

There is nothing to "resolve" as I am pretty sure that is by design how it should work. I cannot test this now, but try putting your phone into a silent mode when listening to your music... Of course, keep your media volume up for your music.
If memory serves me right I think that cm kanged expresso rom had the feature to play notification out of the speaker when headphones were plugged in. Cm6 might have that feature too. I'm not sure though.

honestly if its only a problem when you plug your phone into the car, just put your phone on vibrate or turn the notification off.
Yeah this is honestly the one thing buggin' me right now.
I walk to work it's about a half hour walk to and from and I don't give a damn about my notifications during that time. Hah.

problem with my audio

I have a problem with my phone when I hear songs with the loudspeaker or the application of multimedia the speaker did not work for me but when I plug the headphones All things work as usual
And conversation at the receiver does not work I can not hear the other person and the other person can not hear me but everything works good with the loudspeakerthe otherside hear me and I hear the other side and everything works as normal with headphones
And another problem that when I connect the headset songs begin to work alone and I opened the Google SPEAK
In short as I have noticed a problem when it comes to audio device I have no idea how it happened not touch anything any device settings
Please I need your help I tried everything i try to change the kernel i try to change the baseband i try to change roms
just everything i can think that can help And nothing helped
p.s: Sorry if I have mistakes in English
Same
I have this EXACT problem. I tried to flash a different rom, several different roms actually. It is the strangest thing. I didn't drop it or anything. The problem is that the phone constantly thinks that a headset is plugged in, even if one is not plugged in. You can use the app Soundabout, and disable headset detection as a workaround. I ordered a new headphone jack, thinking it must be hardware, and something broken in the jack. I replaced the headphone jack, and am still having the same problem.
It's crazy that this exact thing is happening to you too... makes me wonder... when did it start for you? What radio do you have? Have you used a slimport adapter at some point?
The only thing left I can think of is reflashing bootloader and radio. Going to try that now and report back.

Its start this week i have radio 54 but i try every radio and no i dont use this adapterand thanx for the app that you post but this is a Temporary solution
Yes, the app is a temp fix... and it gets annoying. I tried to flash bootloader and radios, and still no luck. I asked about slimport, because it is the only "new" thing I have done with my phone recently. I was on .54 radio too, but switched back to 48 or 44 (cant remember which it is at the moment, the american 4.2.2 radio)
can you verify that the app does allow your phone to work? It is very odd that we have the same pfroblem. Do you flash roms often? I do about once a week
i back to stock rom from miui rom in this week and then the problem start
it seems like mine broke after a rom flash as well. I was on june 10 build of PA, then went to june 14 build. clean flash back didnt fix though

i think this is a Hardware problem Because we flash roms and Nothing help
I am inclined to agree. I wanted to test all options first though. I called Google again last night, and the support guy said he has heard this a few times, and they always wind up replacing the phone.

I have n-900. I had the same crackling sound problem coming from the bottom of my phone. I gave it to Samsung Agency they changed the speaker first. Same problem persisted after a few days.
So i gave the phone again and asked for a replacement. Thankfully, they changed the chipset. Now its fine. *Touchwood*

But mine work with Samsung based rom without any issue like this one .
You tried a few AOSP roms, well ain't that cute.
But not once did you read the first posts or a few last posts of the rom thread. If you would, I'm sure you'd found at least a hint on this bug.
And do learn how to Google search !
Sent from my N9005
Had the same problem too, this issue is for all AOSP roms as I see .. but after some restart and charges he go away .. No worries to have man
Same problem. Been having it ever since I installed cm12.1. Most sounds work like they should, but certain apps only crackle. Like, my gf got a vanilla note3,and we both have the game "just get 10". To her, the sound is as it should be. To me it's horrible.
I've been using it ever since the unofficial ports, and been updating nightlies ever since. The problem still persist. If this could be fixed, it would be amazing!
I've also tried the equalizer ports of dsp mamager and audiofx, but no changes whatever I do.
Headphones, and Bluetooth headset works fine.
I too have experienced that allot. And have noticed that it occurs mostly when you use different sound drivers. Like if even on TW you flash beats audio mod or maxx audio you can hear the same crackling.
I suggest you use temasek rom. Its a solid and very stable one.
Hey thanks man, I'll do that
Edit, I've done did it and now everything works flawlessly. It's also a great rom, good battery. Thanks man.
This problem exists in all AOSP based ROMs and after some research I found the solution:
Go to settings -> apps manager -> select google app -> permissions -> disable the microphone permission.
Done
Worked on Galaxy S7 Edge

speakerphone software problem - really low

even though no one seems to suffer from that problem, i must ask again-
the problem is a low volume while talking on the phone using the speaker. THEN AND ONLY THEN.
it's working perfect while playing videos, games or music. there are no complaints from the other side of the conversation. no problem while talking with headphones or w/o other devices. nothing. only on my end.
it's probably not a matter of hardware because a lab switched my speaker with another one's and mine worked perfectly on his and his didn't on mine. (same problem that is)
ALSO, i've already updated twice 7.0.1-->7.1.0-->7.1.1 and no changes.
I've already factory reseted, wiped all, cleared cache and data, and did everything i could think of, but burning the damn thing.
the ONLY conclusion i got to (me and the lab) is that there's a code or other software glitch that limits the volume.
PLEASE THINK OR TRY TO FIGURE THIS PROBLEM OUT
I got a similar problem like you.
The RECEVIER doesn't work while talking on the phone.
But the speaker works perfect.
Weirdly the RECEIVER works perfect when I use the other APPs like Wechat to listen some voice messages.

Did you try and run the phone in safe mode to rule out a third party app causing the problem? If that makes no difference you could either do a clean install of the latest Android image or if the phone is under warranty try and contact Google or Huawei for support.
didn't try safe mode. will try now. already contacted huawei, no response yet

unfortunately, safe mode didn't help, so it's probably not an app that blocks it.
is there a good confirmed link to a guide of a clean install?
my 6p is not rooted, if it matters
