Hi, I have a note 3, and the wired headset is faulty (Got a piece of a 3.5mm jack broken inside of it!)
I have software runing that reroutes the calls back to the normal speaker, but there is a lot of issues with this! (like the sensor that turns the screen off if you are near the phone is constantly active)
If I root the phone, is there any way to DISABLE the wired headset connector completely (to stop it thinking there is a headset in there, even though there is something inside of it?)
Any/all help regarding this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in advance,
William (slim19198)

I think no. In that case, i recomended you go to SS service and let them take it out. It's a good way not the root

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?

so long and thank for all the fish

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...
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.
After an unintended pool plunge... with my magician sitting in my belt... I got it back to life! I started a thread about it: Survivor.
I got however a "salty spotted" screen (I can live with it) but after testing BT GPS, ASync, etc., I've found a extremely tricky bug: Phone sound is routed ONLY via the phone built in speaker. Bt handsfree or stereo headset use RESETS the phone, just THE PHONE.
i can hear music, use my BT GPS, but calls have to be done with my Magician in my ear... even while driving...Opps!
And then the bad news: Official "HTC" service refused to take it for repair, stating that HTC policy prevents them from doing so, when the factory installed "moisture indicator" has changed color.
AND THAT INCLUDES OUT OF WARRANTY DEVICES. NO EXCEPTIONS, even if you are willing to pay.
Any help on my call sound problem?
Help please
Not anyone with some HW knowledge?
Where is the Phone sound-output router (whatever the name) circuit?
Or any other experience about wet circuit boards?
Thanks in advance.
anyone got the magician circuitboard diagram?my magician got sound hardware problem.HELP PLS
Sound prob
Hi, I bought a phone from a guy, with only the sound from the headset plugged in working. Handsfree or not the internal sound and mike were shut off somehow. When I opened the phone it seemed somebody else allready had been looking in the same place, the phonejack circuit.
I used my 15 Watt soldering iron and some new solder and just tipped for a few seconds all six connections. And voila my sound came back again. Hope it works for you too.
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.
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 .
