Dodgy Audio jack
My audio jack plug works fine BUT when I unplug the headset, the phone stays in headset mode i.e. no sound from the speakers. If I plug/unplug the headset a load of times it eventually goes back to normal.
Any ideas. My solution is never to use the audio jack!

I've had two M600's which have done exactly the same thing, both replaced by Orange, I've now upgraded to an M700 and unlocked the old M600 with a PAYG sim and guess what that one has now lost speaker sound so that three with the same fault and this M600 has never had a headset plugged in.
Has anyone else had similar problems?
i had the same problem othillo before it broke so be carefull cause your is about to brake too, i mailed imate and they said the only way to fix it is to send it to them in dubai.. not relally keen to send it there .. but till today i havent find ther part any where it seems that imate dont send out parts ... as soon as i find an alternative i will post it here..
Is this problem caused by the connector itself or is it something else? If it is the connector I can buy a new one at the local hardware store and modify it a little bit to make it fit in my S200, probably going to replace it with an 3,5mm jack if that is possible...
it is caused by the connector in fact htc the original makers of the prophet on there new models they changed it to a usb connector for the handsfree i changed my connector many times with regulas 2.5mm connector but the sound doesnt work properly. what it does it comes out with out bass then when you push the talk button on the handsfree sound comes out good. another thing i noticed is if when you insert the jack plug in the connector and you pull it out a little bit the sound comes better and the talk button works, i know for fact cause i tried it that its not from the handsfee cause i tried it on another device and work properly. the actuall connector for them is different from what you find to buy even if you plug in normal 2.5mm headphone sound doesnt come out right . if you manage to make it work and modify the connector please post it here so who got the same prob like me can have an idea how to fix it... thanks
Audio Jack
Here is what the problem is:
Audio jacks have what is called a normally closed contact. Each contact point actually has 2 parts. In the closed (no headset) the 2 part of the contact point make contact (shorts). This enables the signal to pass through the jack to the phone speaker. When you insert a headset, the 2 points open (break contact) and signal only goes to the headset.
I'm talking from experience as a sound engineer for over 30 years and this is usually the problem 99% of the time when it comes to these type of jacks. One of the contacts (usually the ground when no sound or mic at all) breaks or can no longer "spring" back. I haven't opened mine yet but fully expect this to be the problem.

hi jsapper, i got what you saying and your absolutly right .. the thing i replaced mine 2 times now been done by a technician who fixes phones/pdas the thing with the connectors i replaced the device doesnt work properly sound comes out with out the bass and the talk button doesnt work .. i guess that the original part got some extra connectors or most probably the pins are switched around..
do you know if there is any special connectors for them...
I have a similar pb with my S200:
After running tomtom during 2000km installed on my motorbike w/ a 2.5mm headset, sound seems to no work anymore (neither back or ear speaker), I suppose that vibrations against jack connector are responsible.
With a bluetooth or wired headset sound works.
I have soft/hard reset, upgrade to last WM5 rom, upgrade to WM6 rom, I have tried to get in/out a 2.5mm jack connector without any result.
The ring facility is working (w/ or w/o 2.5mm jack connected), so I can say that the back speaker is working.
I am looking for a solution too...
nb: I have my back speaker + screen replaced one time after 2months.

Have you try resolder the Connector?
it was to damaged to be resolded
Hi everybody,
I aswell have this kind of problem from time to time.My solution is quite simple.You have to use the original 2,5" jack with the 3 black "dividings".(sorry for my english) This solution reduced the problem dramatically.If the problem starts now, just plug it in and out a few times and it should work again.
Cheers
Phone Jack is a mechanical mess ...
Same prob, used the headset, rear speaker dead. I opened the prophet, unsoldered the jack and found it misconstructed.
The body of the jack is plastic and not capable to withstand the forces of a plugged in headset.
There are two integrated switches - which - when headset is unplugged are closed and deliver the signal to the speaker. one of the switches does not close anymore when the headset is unplugged. My first solution was to unsolder the jack and bridge the contacts 2 and 4 as welll as 3 and 5.
The rear speaker functions now and I can use the phone.
Next step will be to find a jack solution on the market to finally solve the problem. I will keep you informed!
thanks buzzi will be looking in here... for your post!
i had the same problem with my audio jack and i searched many forums for a solution. the only thing i can say: if you really want to use it and you want go back in normal mode after unplugging, take a little needle. if you look at the audio jack (USB is left to it) you have to stick the needle in the right side of the jack somewhere an search for a little contact (the first time hard to find, the second time easy) and try to push it a bit to the left. so the prophet goes back in normal mode. it sucks but i didnt find another solution...except for buying a bluetooth headset and use software to hear music over that (for mono headsets u can use a programm calles BTAudioToggel, but make sure u use the Toggle software, because there is another one called BTAudio, it sucks because it costs money and doesn't work for me so well)

Friends,
My prophet has exactly the same symptoms. However, I opened up the phone and carefully examined the jack. It is crap, sure, but at least on my phone it is not at fault. I tested with a continuity meter and the contact mechanism was working perfectly. Those who tried this measure without success read the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281331
In my case it is definitely a problem with the speaker, and it seems to be eqaully common. It seems that there is more than one problem dogging the speaker of ths model.
mine's got the small contact switch problem.
it started last night! SO Annoying. Plugging a friend's original 2.5mm adapter in and out solved it temporarily. Then it went again! I have only got a 3rd party 2.5mm plug, and it took me ages to trip the small switch back with that. I have now got a BT headset on order.
Can't wait for the newer design HTC headphone adapter as I have had this problem with 5 different devices! (Tanager, Typhoon, Hurricane, Tornado and now Prophet.)
would agree with hybrid the needle trick fixed it ran media player so i could tell when it was working again. it was mentioned before that using the 2.5mm adaptor with ibky 2 rings as opposed to 3 causes this problem. I can identify with this as i have been using my dopod h/free with no problems for months i use the adaptor to plug in my headphones one time and get a eap of issues!
i will adapt a h/free to plug in some nicer headphones!
Can i use the USB connection as a handsfree port on my prophet?
Cheers
Hi, Prophet's USB is not a USB hub and thus not usable for connecting external devices - only way is bluetooth ...
thanks buzzi
yesterday suddenly my earphones started working weird...sometimes the sound came from left plug sometimes frm right and most of the times from neither...i realized that there was some problem with the wire near the jack coz as i moved it the sound used to appear and the next moment disappear...plzzz help me how to fix it as it is my second earphone and its not too much old ...plzz help!!!!!:crying:
Bud use a pin or needle and check if there is something inside the jack, like a metal or wire that short circuits the connection? Clean it, Blow it, then plug in your earphones and tell me it works?
If no then just incase try other earphones, if other works then you have a problem in YOUR earphones!
If still no, then take it to Samsung service centre, they will fix it for you! in this case the problem will be your jack where you put your earphones is damaged, probably due to moving earphone pin like a mad cow!
Hit thanks if helped
Use another headset...
** rooting is new for me,
nd i am a noob to root....**
So I was driving to work and plugged my phone into what turned out to be a faulty car charger (the ground was lose and disconnecting). I was wiggling the charger around in the 12v port and got a lot of static and the left side audio went out. I have replaced the headphone jack/earpiece speaker but the problem persists, no audio out of the left side 3.5mm (except a little hiss or static) and audio is fine out of the right side. Anybody have any ideas? Could I have burnt something out in the phone not related to the jack? [I have tested multiple cables/headphones which I tested to be working, I have also checked the accessibility settings and my balance is set in the middle.] Thanks.
Hi guys
After a year and a half of use I finally have an issue with my nexus 6p.
The headphone jack seems to be only outputing right audio. The mic works, volume control works. I did try cleaning the audio port, managed to extract some pocket lint. It looks all clean, but no left audio no matter which headphones I tried.
Now I am not sure if this happened after the latest security update or if this is a software issue. All phone audio only plays right audio.
I don't normally use the 3.5mm jack that much. Any ideas?
Everything is stock.
Thanks.
Nobody had this issue ? No possible causes? No possible solutions?
I own the max pro and when i try to use my earphones with the 3.5 headphone jack it kinda malfunctions . It bugs out , that is it keeps on increasing the volume by itself (dosent stop) , In youtube it automatically hits the 'next' button . I Tried the same with bluetooth headphone and its working fine . Is it just me or do anyone face the same problem ? Thanks in advance .

Thank you for your response but the earphone is Sony , and i previously owned a Oneplus 3T and it worked perfectly fine . I dont think its the earphone's fault . Have you been experiencing any difficulties ?
Do you use a PU back cover? There have been instances when the side grips push & mess with volume. Try again without the case. Or else, a factory reset might work...
what you do is if the headphone has any mettel part or a mike keep it far from the screen.
i have had this that if the mettel part or the part having the mike touches the screen it doesnt behave properly

I dont think thats the problem , are you implying the metal part ? as I have said before , i dont think its a problem with my headphone . Thank you for your response though .
Try changing your earphones
I also had this issue while using my JBL T150A earphones. I used have some glitches while using earphones. Some times apps started automatically as I touched the screen and started them. Scrolling through the lists also used to stop at intervals and no smooth scrolling.
Next time, I used another earphones (Mi Piston) and everything worked with them. No glitches. No "auto touch" etc.
Try giving it a shot and use another pair of earphones.
Attached image shows how my 9Gag app is highlighted due to my earphones.

Some headphones have different arrangements for mic & audio out in the jack... It may work perfectly on one phone but may not work on another... So, try another headphone first, before resetting... (i'm using a motorola headset without glitches)
Having the same issue
I'm also having the same issue. I used iPhone headphone it works after I adjust it. I tried 3 more headphones and I get headphone symbol only and not with mic one.
The volume increase decrease and all glitches are really present. I'm facing such issue for first time. I have used many smartphones but never faced so much issue related to headphone.
By the way, how is the audio quality via headphone jack on this phone?
the audio is good it depends on headphones.
Well did someone face issue like the headphone doesn't go in properly in headphone jack ..... ?
yes i did but with some force i managed it in and now it does it properly.

thanks for the advice, finally I got my headphone working
Its awesome
yes i have faced this problem..
I have some problem like this i been buying max pro m1 two day ago and try use two different headset sony and samsung but doesn't work and i try with another phone and working i know this not my headset fault ,maybe my jack 3,55 is trouble so somebody please tell me about this sorry my English not good
I also face the same problem but what I found that the headphone jack is a tight fit for most of the headphone/earphones but gentle push might work.
I am using "1more Piston Fit" at present and they works way to much good.
Try your luck at Paytm and grab that.
yes, I have bought the asus zenfone max pro m1 two days earlier, and when im trying to insert my earphone into the 3.5 mm jack, its not working properly.It malfunctions, and get disconnected by itself.

i experienced it too. so, i pushed the pin harder into the 3.5mm jack; it fit snugly and the sound is uninterrupted now.
