Hi, I saw that a new firmware, foe several region, with November security patches.
Someone test ?
YUP, nothing new but it doesnt have any issue
so far so good
I noticed after the upgrade when I'm plugging the headphones they are automatically disconnected after two seconds. I'm not able to listen to music right now.
Mine work. I'm on 34.1.A.3.49 Generic Europe 1. Have you tried other headphones, restarting or reflashing?
Nothing has helped:/
so the headphone was working fine with your old firmware or never tried it before?
I had the same issue with my bose noise cancelling headphone but turned out its with sony phones with iphone disigned cable
I changed my cable to android one (2 rings not 3) and it worked fine for me
My samsung never had a problem with it though...
yes, it was working before. I don't think it should be plug issue. Three rings are usually for headphones with mic and standard headset delivered with the device is with mic.

Hi
First post here so please excuse any ignorance.
O2 XDA Exec - standard Rom from O2 website.
Problem started a few hours ago after using the audio out for listening to music via mediaplayer.
My unit was working fine while playing, but later after it had been disconnceted from the stereo I noted that there were no tap sounds.
I first checked the audio settings, all normal the way I always have them.
Next I tried the reset button on the back of the unit, no help there.
I tried plugging in the headphones in and there is perfectly normal audio over the headphone but once removed nothing at all.
Getting more extreme I tried a rom update/fresh start, no luck there either.
Getting even more hardcore I downloaded the assembly/disassembly pdf from this forum to check if there was a physical fault with the 3.5mm audio port. I checked to make sure all the tabs were springing back after an audio jack was removed all seem fine (although at this point I lack a comparision).
Then for a test I rang my own phone from my land line and it seems to ring fine but there is nothing from the mic or either of the earpieces during a call.
I am fast running out of ideas and the last test really perplexed me.
I am almost certain that it is a case of one of the contacts inside the audio port not springing back and therefore cutting out the external audio, giving the device the impression that there is still a headset connected.
I don't want to poke around inside too much as I have so far been able to keep security tabs intact, just in case I need to send it off.
Anybody have any ideas on how to get around this? Is it possible that it is software and not hardware?
Please help as phone is a bit useless sans headset, which I don't really want to be permanetly tied to.
Thanks
Thom
keep plugging and unplugging the headset until it works or you get tired, if it works great, otherwise sent it in for repair.
Does nobody out there have a registry hack workaround for this problem?
When I receive calls its rings and any other sounds come through whilst the phone rings.
There must be a workaround here somewhere???
Had exactly the same problem. No sound but rings ok,
After the first time I plugged in the headphones, no sound. Its probably cause the headphone socket is so big in comparisson, that it gets dirty. Just spray some anti static cleaner on the headphone plug and keep plugging it in.
Worked perfectly for me!!
There is no registry hack because this is a hardware issue, not a software one.
The ringer will ring whether the earphones are plugged in or not, which is how you would expect a phone to function. The problem lies with the connectors in the headphone jack socket not recognising the headphones are unplugged. Resetting and even dare I say a hard reset will not sort it as the issue is not software related.
This has also been covered several times on the forum. The only way (short of taking the thing apart) is to keep plugging / unplugging the headphones until the sound reappears.
Cheers

This just started happening on my JasJar today (system audio returned after poking the headset in/out a few times), after 11 months of use. Does this get worse over time? Should I bite the bullet and try to get Imate to repair it?
Please advise!
Hi,
I found out that none of my Audio jack cables I have in my car, at home as well as all my headphones doesn't work well or doesn't work at all with my Xperia play.
Sometimes only one channel will play, other times everything sounds fine but the volume will go all the way down on it's own just like I held the volume down button (but I didn't)
I have red online about similar issues with the X10, and people telling the wiring is different and require headphones from SE only.
Other than that I love this phone!
EDIT: Faulty device. My new one works well.

Any of you have similar issues? How can we bypass that kind of problem?
Thanks.

if you have a mic with the headset and it is non-SE branded, then yea, it is gonna get jacked up; regular headphone will not have that problem
Hmmm...
None of the audio cable I'm talking about have a mic on them. I might have a faulty device then.
I think I'll try to return it.
Had the problem with the earplugs that came with the play, sometimes turning it a bit fixes the problem...
For me that's the only one that works perfectly.
Every other cables or headset are messed up. (ie. In Backstab the voice over are barely hearable and podcasts I listen to everyday is the same. If I unplug the headphones the sound from the speaker is perfect.)
I'm heading to Future Shop right now I'll post when I get back.
Thanks for you input guys.

Edit
Confirmed.
It was a faulty device. The second one could not detect me Sim card but the 3rd is all good for now. The good news is that one is black!
Similar problem here. I've just tried my old HTC headphones and it sounds muffled and some parts of the music can't be heard. Put the Sony headphones in and it works fine.
Also, my S9 Bluetooth headphones worked fine first time.
D.
You probably got a faulty one as well.
The one I got now does'nt have this problem. Had to explain and test in front of the guys at Future shop to prove them I was right.
Bluetooth was working properly on mine too.
Well.. I've got a problem:
Today I wanted to use my Samsung headset that came with the S2, plugged it in, and the music sounded wierd. Like there was an echo, or if all my music was a karaoke version..
Turns out:
Non-Headset headphones work perfectly, but the "3-ringed-jack" headset does not work! I do not have another headset to test this, but the headset works @my pc (got a connector for that..)
So the 3.5mm jack at my S2 seems to be broken?
I will try a software reset (right now I am @stock rom+root) and then send it to Amazon. Anyone heard of that problem or got some ideas?
Breece
[edit]
Reset didnt help, but the headset does *not* work on my Nexus one (same problem) but my BH905i do not work on both phones with the 3.5mm jack (the one that has "3 rings")
Did you push the pin in far enough?
For 3 weeks I didn't know I had to push it hard into the jack, until it clicks. After that, it was perfect. I'm using Ultimate ears 220vi, 3 ring.
That has to be the pin. you must give it a good press to seat it properly.
The SGS2 headset jack is a bit 'finicky'. Some aux cables / headsets work, some sound funny or do not work and yes, one has to ensure it is really pushed in firmly.
I pushed as if my life depended on it Just last week the headset worked...

The same thing happened to me, but I noticed ealier.
I re-installed the firmware but nothing seems to help. I guess its hardware..
Will send it back to Amazon today...
Maybe the headset is broken after all, who knows
Just an update:
Has been @ the amazon repair center for two days and apparently something did indeed brake in the hardware... atleast it says on the homepage "being repaired"
Now I hope the S2 will be back soon.. want to flash 2.3.4
Shoot I was just about to ORDER a replacement Audio Jack, until I read the second poster reply. For me, my headset worked only by wiggling the cable around into the audio jack in order to finally hear sound (had do this every single time and was very annoying), the audio did sound distorted and the mic would never work :-(
I personally thought that I inserted the cable in the audio jack as hard I could (after many attempts having this phone for 2 months)
but after reading kaotickelly's reply, I noticed i never EVER heard a click before inserting the cable in the jack throughout many attempts.
So I put my "trying to over protect my phone" ignorance aside, and FORCED the dam thing in, and it clicked!!! not only did I forced it, but I didn't scratch or break phone as i feared, Headset sounded correctly without any distortion and microphone worked!
Unlike Breece, my audio jack now works and I got to UPDATE to 2.3.4! (Don't take it personal)
GOOD-LOOKING OUT KAOTICKELLY!
I used some really old iPhone headphones on my Note 3 the first day I had it, last week. I haven't had an iPhone since 2010, so I am talking super old and beaten to death. They worked fine.
I only mention this because I've read that some older headsets are not compatible with the S4 and Note 3.
Then I paired them with a pair of ARCTIC P253BT Bluetooth Stereo Headphones. The pairing worked, in theory. The phone and headphones seemed to think they were connected.
But all I got for audio was beeps from the headphones when it connected and the phone would play at the normal, holding-to-ear volume -- even when I clicked the button for headphones and jacked up the volume in Bluetooth Settings. This did not shock me because they are cheap headphones.
Later, I tried to use the Aux jack in my car -- no dice. Phone just acted like it didn't have headphones in.
Tried the old iPhone headphones again, phone acted like it did not have headphones in. I figured I at least had those.
Restarted -- same issue.
I realize this is a very low-level question for this forum. I have yet to ROM the phone and will probably wait until TouchWiz finally beats me down.
Part of the problem is that I had been rolling with a Nexus 4 on CM 10.2, I've been running CM for a year over multiple devices and I've never had a Samsung device.
So I just feel like I don't know how to solve anything. I realize asking for TouchWiz advice is like Yankees ownership asking Red Sox fans for advice, but I am taking a shot.
Any thoughts?
Sounds like you have a bad headphone jack or something wrong with the port connector in the motherboard. I would submit a warranty claim and get a new one.
Btw I've used Bluetooth headphones and the aux port in my car it works perfect.

Wow, seriously? I did not expect it to be that extreme. Whatever went wrong happened some time after I initially used the first set of ear buds.
So maybe I did it? I have been treating the thing like gold, though.
You say that it does nothing when you plug in a headphone right? Like there is nothing connected?

Similar issue solved after powering phone off/on

I've been having the same issue and it seems to correct itself if power my phone off/on, but I'm not happy about the headphone jack being so unreliable on a brand new phone. I've plugged in headphones and an aux out headphone cord and experienced this problem. When the issue arises, the phone will pause for a second as if it's going to send audio to the headphones or aux out device, the unit states "headphones connected" in the notification tray, and then within a second of doing so the audio continues to come from the Note 3 speakers instead of the headphones or external speakers.

It works for one second then either gets really dim or starts playing at the normal call volume (not speaker volume). I took it to the store today and They had no idea. They thought they were very clever when they first got it and I told them all the setting they were planning to try had already been confirmed. They went through the motions. No dice.
They think it is a hardware issue.
If it is a hardware and that is what it sounds like then, you can submit a manufacturer warranty claim with Verizon Wireless.

My solution to this behavior (YMMV, but I had the exact same behavior)
The issue ended up being the case. It was generating enough of a standoff that the AUX cable wasn't making complete connection. I think the Note is configured to only recognize a headphone output if both channels are making connection (which is slightly atypical behavior).
TL;DR: If you're having a similar problem, try taking off your case.
Car aux input does not work

I'd like to add my voice to the chorus. Almost identical problem. Works perfectly on all other devices but not 2007 Saab aux. Worked with former Note 2. I tried 3 different cables. Plays fine for a little while then audio directed to phone speaker when notification sounds. I have no case. Pretty sure it's not cabling. Heard it was low impedance headphones. My carrier has not heard of this. I belive it's a compatibility issue with the aux port. Trying bluetooth alternative. I dislike the Hassel but at a loss for now. Maybe Kitkat?
I am having the same issue on a phone that is less than a week old. Headphones work, then later they don't. It shows them connected, briefly sends audio to earphone, then to phone speaker. Reboot fixes it.

I don't think this is a hardware issue as the behaviour doesn't really make sense. I suspect it has to do with the service that detects whether headphones are connected or not.
I have this issue from time to time with multiple pairs of headphones.
A restart usually fixes it, but not straight away. I usually have to wait a minute or two after the gui is loaded before the headphones will be detected again.
I have a very weird problem and cannot find an explanation for this.
The problem is : After 5 months my phone starts to press randomly headset buttons ( volume up, down, play/pause) when the 3.5 headset jack connector is moved a little. I used from the first day Samsung headphones so i thought the headset are broken. I tried several third party headphones and all does the same but on other Huawei phones they work perfectly fine.Even if the headset dosen't have volume up/down on the remote the phone register volume changes when the connector is moved a little .I tried the original Huawei headset from the box and this work perfectly with no problem.
So i went to the service center , they replaced the jack connector. But even after the repair the problem persist and the service center told me that if with huawei headset work ok they cannot help me anymore.
My only problem is that the huawei headset are not in-ear style and i need to use another headset.
I downgrade from B380 to B370 and the problem occurs rarely but is still there. I don't think it is a software problem.
Why with Huawei headset the phone work ok and with other several headset (including original Samsung headset) ,that work well on other Huawei phones, i have this problem?

You can try going into Settings-->Smart assistance-->Smart headset control and disabling it.
I tried this. Still had this problem.
I went into Emag Showroom and they had an Huawei P8 for testing. With the same headset mine had the problem and the one in the showroom works fine.
What do you think ? it is a software issue (maybe bad sound drivers) or a hardware issue(they told me that they changed the jack connector)?

Maybe doing a factory reset can help.
I did a factory reset and nothing changed. After that i downgrade to B370 and made another factory reset and the problem occurs less with some headsets but is still there
