Hi all
It would be great if you shed some light on the problem
Xda exec had a fall!..since then no sounds at all, phone won't ring or won't play music...but has sound if i plugged the headphones in
Any theories/ideas what might have gone wrong...& possible solutions..
any help would be appreciated...thanxs
sound failed on xda exec
i also had the same issue but my handset was replaced as it was within 28 days of getting the handset
i never did manage to find the exact issue
when your handset fell did it have external sound / handsfree plugged in at the time
about the only thing that made any sense with mine was the possibilty of the micro switch / contacts of the externl audio jack being damaged
dont know if any of this info helps you at all but best of luck getting it sorted
Still no explanation for the no sound problem Xda Exec
Does anybody find out allready what's the problem with no sound on the Xda Exec.
I not speak about the problem with the external audio jack.
I can make cals like normal, I only can not play music or listen if somenone is calling me.
Thanks

Thanks for your post.
You are shure that this willbe the problem, because I can make calls without the headphone. I was thinking that in the case that the connector gives the problem, I should also not be able to make any calls without using the headphone.
Anyway I was going to open my friend one day, to look what's up.
problem may be repaired in home in 10mins
you need
hands
brain
tools to open
1 needle

Ok, here we go.
We have hands, tools ( a hammer ) and 1 needle.
I think I forgot something, but...
I think the problem, when the problem is hardware,
is that when you put the headphone jack, the top of the jack he opens the microswitch what you see at first.
Ofcourse when this switch he stays also open when you take out the jack, than you have a problem.
And yes with a needle you can first open the contakt and than you can dress littlebit the position of the contakt.
I have only 1 problem on my tel, this switch is closed as well, when I take out the jack. The problem is not this switch.
here we go
Correct, I am shure that this is almost always the problem.
In fact the switch is closed in normal position, and he goes open when you put the headphones.
When he not close as well automatic than, you have a problem.
But in my case it is really not this switch, so I am still looking for the reason why I not have sound.
hi all
i have same probelem like you
my friend using my device for weeks and when she give it back to me i have no sound from my device & even from headset i call the i-mate center the girl told me maybe your jack is dameged but when i sent it to suport center they told me your flex cable is dameged by wrong rotating your device and we haven't that yet ....
they sent it back to me and after some day my screen shows nothing then i buoght a cable from ebay an change , now i have voice sound screen
&....
like before
i hope these usefull for you
This was exactly my issue, under that pinkbox you marked is the tiny tab that makes or breaks contact with the internal speaker. Because my headphones break the contact, this tab after much use was stuck in the open position even after the headphones were removed. When I did the procedure you mentioned magically, sound..wow. I am extremely greatful for your troubleshooting skill.
Thanks a million mo3ulla.
If only i had this fix 2 phones ago..hahhahah.

Hi lambrechts,
Did you manage to find out the reason?
i have the same problem, my device fell, but i didn't notice the problem until next day (i didn't use it) so i'm not sure if it is because of the drop.
I will open my device and check the Jack pins, but i want to know if you got any fix for this.

hey mo3ulla, did your method work after repeated use of the headphone port? did it get stuck again any time after you fixed it?
just asking cause i have this problem on my 9000 and haven't opened it yet so i don't want to open and close it repeatedly
thankss
I have this problem aswell. But I inserted a fork and twisted it around a little and now it works as it should again.
Bumping this thread. Should be a sticky or in the wiki.
Anyways,
I tried the pin trick back when I posted here, it worked but it wasn't permanent. Instead I put a crumpled piece of post-it note above the pink dot in the picture and it worked, up until recently. Does anybody have a method to bend the connecter back down? I'm probably not using the needle right, I press the pink spot, but it pops back up.
Ideas?
twisting the pin really helps. thanks for the solution. I tried to insert my headphone again and the pin always stucked. I'm trying to find a permanent solution for this. Maybe put something to push the pin to be connected everytime I remove the headphone...
I hope this helps. I found it very useful to my Dopod 900. I tried to connect my headphones (sounds works on my headphone) then I disconnect it and sounds works on my stereo/speakers.
*Please do it carefully in pushing the pin upward from inside the hole. Just push it a little bit just enough to touch the upper pin..
additional tip: after you fixed your device, try to install SRS Wow for great audio experience
Quick Fix
I found that if you apply a little pressure between the base and just above the send key this seems to work, I tried this tonight and will report back if goes again.

could be a damaged PCB motherboard, or lose connetion for the sound chip!
you could try fixnig it, or replacing the motherboard.
a new motherboard could be bought off E-Bay US for a cheapish price =]

Not sure if the srs wow will work, last time i tried it give lots of other problems like; mute the sounds, works great after you press the power button on and off, then no GPRS and Internet conectivity but if you have worked around those probs pls give an idea?
Hi!
A few days ago i bought a mda vario 2. The problem is that i have no sound. When some1 is calling i have only vibrations or when i want to listen a song, watch a film etc. I did hard reset a few times. I tried diffrent roms but it doesnt help. Cleaning mini usb gives nothing. I have wm 6.1 proffesional. Please help me sorry for my english im from poland
Yes i had the same thing when i got my hermes, it was my first WM device so i wasnt familiar with it. If your case is the same as mine then you have your sound profile set to "Vibrate". You can change it either by taping on the little loudspeaker icon on the top of your today screen and selecting "On", or if you have the HTC Today plugin, by selecting "Profiles" and then "Normal" mode. Hope this helps
But i have "normal" profile with sound on. Also when i try to see a video or listen mp3 files i dont have sound

There are several threads on sound problems here. Do none of them fit your situation?
Is it just the rear speaker that has no sound?
Do you get sound using the headphones?
Could it be that the Rear speaker push on connector needs pushing back on?

OK, but if someone phones you I know you do not hear it ring BUT can you hear their voice in the front speaker?
Mike
I can talk normally.
Try the info for new members http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325748 . I had the same issue and had to re-attach the speaker plug.I checked this out by gently squeezing the unit below the speaker about 2cm down, it would make the connection then quit sound again. When I removed the back case (not the battery cover) I saw the plug was loose. Follow the instructions in the Hermes manual (from the post) carefuly.
How to unscrew 4ed screw under "void" sticker??What is "void" sticker for?

If you remove the void sticker then the Warranty becomes useless. It is supposed to stop you dismantling your phone.
So, if you have a warranty then use it. If you have NO warranty then use a a Torx No 6 screwdriver to remove the screws. (Just peel off the sticker, it will break up into little pieces).

i had same problem but i upgraded my rom to the v7 blue calm and now it works perfectly..i also have vario 2 but my warranty was voided long time ago lol if doesnt work theres a guy who made a website detailing instructions on how to fix it
I am having a sound issue, but it's pretty unique.
My rear speaker works fine if I'm trying to use it for the speaker phone, but it won't work in any other application. For example, I cannot play songs from windows media player, it won't play any ringtones when I receive a call.
I tried plugging in the USB headphones, and it's exactly the same. Works for the phone, not for anything else.
HOWEVER, with a bluetooth headset, I can play songs just fine. This leads me to believe it's a software issue but I can't pinpoint what it could be. Anyone have any ideas before I hard reset this bad boy?
Hi, I had a problem with my headset, I saw on internet that if I put an aluminum ball in TRS connector of the phone (the hole), my headset will work. My headset are now fixed
But now there is no speaker anymore, (i guess that my phone now think that there is a headset in it), so I will not know when someone will call me, and I need the alarm the morning to wake up for school(most important) ! :/
So I'd like to know if there is an app or something like that which could enable speaker and headset at the same, to get the speaker back.
Thanks you it's very important !
Switching between speakers and headphone is actually done physically inside the jack. AFAIK, there's no way to enable both using a software.

Hey,
I was swapping out my sim card and not paying attention - I accidentally pressed my sim opener into the other little hole that is near the sim card opening hole.
As it didnt open and I wasnt looking I naturally pressed harder, then i looked and realized I am pressing in the wrong hole!
Bit worried I might have damaged something, I hope this hole is not for mic or anything, I have googled but I cannot find out what this hole is for.
The hole in question is the one to the right of the sim card tray, there is only one other hole on the top of the bezel and this is the one I pushed into
Mic hole

Thanks, is this the mic that is only used when the loudspeaker is, as I presume the mic when using the phone normally is at the bottom of the phone

Skyhigh too, if you have seconday device near you or someone's, call and check if you wonder, never mind..
I tested the top mic.
The scenario is when a call is active:
- when normal speaker is on the top mic does nothing and the bottom mic receives sound.
- when loudspeaker is on the top mic picks up sound and the bottom mic turns off
Try is, make a call to another phone, play some music or something into the the top and bottom mic's, you will notice that the top mic only receives the sound when the galaxy has its loudspeaker on - also, when the loudspeaker is on the bottom mic doesnt receive any sound.
ps, luckily there is no damage to it.
I have 2 edge+ and I tried the one I pressed into by accident, then immediately after I tried the other one.
The sound on the other end of the phone is the same. Means the little mic at the top is pretty strong, must have a mesh gauze or something protecting it?
Anyone have a pic of the internal part>

Yup, thats what I said. Glad to know its not damaged.
I realize this is an old thread. But I just did the same thing with my note 8. OP did you ever run into issues after you did this?
OMG. I just did the same thing. On an old note 5.
I did this on edge plus but thought that was IR sensor, googled but no info to find and finally here...I hope it is not damaged & even if, much relaxed to know it is secondary in a sense, and does not harm the functioning...
Moto X Style - XT1572 - India
Since last week whenever I'm plugging in earphones/headphones, the phone starts acting as though the earphones are plugged out - plugged in in a loop, like for one second it acts as though its plugged in and at the other plugged out. I tried cleaning the headphone jack with school level painting brush, tried catching if there's anything inside using toothpick and so. But that didnt solve the issue.
Next, 2 days ago, I plugged in the headphones again to check and the issue was still there. However, when I long pressed the button on the headphone, the headset icon in the status bar changed from headset with mic to headset without mic. I tried using Google Assistant by speaking to the headphone mic and it does work even when the icon is that of headset only. This solves the issue for the time until I remove the headphones again and plug them back in manually. So right now, that's the workaround which has helped me to solve this. But the button on the headphone doesnt work when I try to change tracks using it. Seems like it goes inactive after doing its work.
I'm confused if this is anything related to software or this is a hardware problem with the headphone jack. If I remember, this started happening after I updated to the August security patch. Any help regarding the same would be appreciated.
Representative Image
Edit: The headset icon with mic is now shown even when the headphones are not plugged in. This has happened earlier in mid July for 4-5 days but got solved on its own. The phone pretends as though headphones are been plugged in and thus disables media output via the speakers.
EDIT 1: Visited a service center located at Ghatkopar, Mumbai. They said it will cost minimum 3500Rs; that too without a guarantee of working n if it doesn't, I'll have to change the motherboard which will cost 15000Rs.
Did you try another headset? Sounds like the cable for the headset is shorting out or going open.

Yes I did try multi headsets. Right now the phone feels headset is being plugged in when they are not and carries out all media output accordingly. When I plug headphones with a button/mic+button, immediately, the phone opens the google assistant pop. It feels I long pressed the button on the headphones asking to open google assistant.

Gotcha... So the headphone jack in the phone needs to be replaced. Definitely a job for a service center.

Yes. And service center asked $54 to fix it. They are not sure if that will fix the issue or not.
Fix it yourself, it's not hard to disassemble this device. I replaced my battery without issues. The headphone jack is not soldered to the mainboard. Check eBay for spares.
I started having this issue recently. Looks like Headphone jack inside the phone is not working like it should. Same headset works fine on other phones and laptop, but when plugged into this x, it sounds like it is loosely connected.
anyone in NA experience this issue?

I found out that my problem is (I'm still facing it) related to the IC on motherboard and not related to the headphone jack basically. I will update the main post accordingly.

Turns out this is from lint.
I fixed my issue by cleaning out the lint that got accumulated in the headphone jack. Use the tiniest drill bit and spin it gently in the direction of drill bit curves/groves, might take few tries, but this fixed it perfectly.

I used my phone without headphone jack - physically removed from the phone for a week but still faced the issue.
I changed the jack on my moto x pure. I bought a new jack on ebay and installed it.. I STILL had the very same problem!! Just on loop connecting and disconnecting... Maybe a motherboard failure.. I will check later... but I'm just regreting the 20 bucks spent on the new jack plus shipping :'(
