I got my Mate 9 Pro wet on a run a few weeks ago, I dried it out pretty well, however every time I plug headphones in now, it screws up a bit, thinks headphones are still plugged in, this lasts for a few days then returns to normal!
Of course while it thinks headphones are still plugged in it sends all audio to the headphone socket, so calls etc have no sound. (I've installed SoundAbout which is pretty good, I can enable and disable sound to the headphone socket with a widget button.)
I'd rather avoid doing this and simply switch to USB-C headphones.
I bought a USB-C headphone adapter, but the phone doesn't recognise it.
Any ideas how I can get the phone to send audio to a USB-C headphone adapter? SoundAbout has an option that says it send audio to the USB, but it doesn't!

Hey all,
I have a mini jack in my car that I plug my phone into for audio when i'm driving. Yesterday, when I unplugged my phone the sound didn't kick back over to the phone. I tried unplugging and re plugging over and over but no dice. If i plug my wired headset in, I can hear the sound/talk as expected. But I'm unable to get any sound to come back through the speakers.
Is there an option that I can tweak to disable the mute? or has anyone else had this sort of issue before?
Thanks in advance
OK Looks like there's a small slide catch inside the mini jack port. I took a thin piece of stiff wire and gave it a good jiggle inside the port while i had a song playing so i could hear if it kicked on and sure enough it did. i guess the mini jack plug i have in my car is maybe a little too big, it's one for my old mp4 player that has a/v.
but oh well i know a fix know,
i took the advice from this thread

Hey,
I've got a problem with my headphone jack on the top...
Even though there's nothing in it, it "believes" a cable is plugged in and thus of course outputs all sound to the empty jack and not to the speakers
Is there any way to repair it or disable the jack completely?
Thanks in advance,

I had the same problem. I was already thinking of a hard reset. But after about 1.5 a 2 hours my phone suddenly reconized that the headset was plugged out. (try'd about 100 times in and out) and my phone went beeping the whole time. Now it works fine.
Hi, I just noticed that voice search, or any app using the microphone is working when I have headphones or auxiliary cable plugged in. I know that the internal microphone is not supposed to work if you have an headset with a mic plugged in, but I don't understand why it doesn't work with a simple aux cable to my car stereo. The only time that I would like to use voice search or voice typing is usually in the car, but when I'm there the phone is usually plugged in for music... Any solutions? I tried different cables. Is this a kernel/rom problem? I'm running latest PAC with Franco kernel. Thank you very much
it's been a long known problem that the microphone sensitivity doesn't adjust accordingly when an aux plugged in.. stupid I know.. I was one of the first people to bring this up, it's never been amended[surprisingly]. I resorted to bluetooth in my car instead.
The only way the mic will hear you with aux plugged in, it with your mouth right next to the phone, unless you have an inline mix on the headphones. And if it's plugged into the car unless you have the phone duck tapped to your face, same problem.. I assume this is the same problem you're experiencing.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus didn't have this problem, microphone sensitivity was high when aux plugged in, if no in-line mic detected.
Hi!
My Nexus 4 is stuck in headphones mode for a few months now. Sound on headphones is just fine. I tried cleaning 3.5mm jack, but no difference. I'm using SoundAbout app now to make phone usable, but it's anoying to manualy switch every time I plug in or out my headphones. I ordered new headphones jack from ebay for 8.95 pounds from UK (new user, can't post link)
I replaced it, but N4 is still stuck in headphones mode Before I replaced it I've done factory reset, but not yet after replacing.
Looking at the plug it seems like phone detects when headphones plug shorts two pins in connector that connects to the tip of headphones plug (pins are not shorted if connector isn't plugged in). It doesnt have a "switch" like some other connectors.
Phone was not even near water and I never dropped it on the ground.
What do you think it's wrong? Maybe damaged motherboard?
Recently I was trying something with 3.5mm cable and that was big mistake :crying:
I plugged 3.5mm cable from my phone to faulty hi-fi system (didnt know). There was probably electro shock and now my 3.5mm jack won't recognize headphones.
Also there is static sound on my left speaker of headphones when I plug my headphones (I tried other headphones).
Replaced 3.5mm jack on my phone but problem still remains.
Music normaly plays through speakers of my phone or bluetooth. Means that audio chip is fine, I think.
Anybody knows what I can do except going to repairman? I dont have warranty & guarantee.
Thanks
