How to remove the headset icon on the top menu - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there does anyone know how I can remove the headset icon on the top menu, since I cannot hear the other person while in a call, but they can hear me well. But if i use my headset that came with the phone, then i can hear the other person, how would i disable or turn this off? or does anyone know if that is the reason why I cannot hear the other person.

Hi, i got this problem too. Have you managed to solve it? If yes, can you show me? Thanks.

Two ways to solve it:
Sometimes it is caused by a piece of dirt stuck in the jack. Try this:
1. Turn off your phone and clean the jack with a cotton sipped in alcohol.
2. Use canned air spray and blow the jack a couple of times.
Sometimes is a malfunction. So try this:
1.Download Sound About from the Play Store(free version will do) and set it like this:
On without status( not to be annoyed by notifications)
Media audio/Speakers
Phone call/ Earpiece
Connectable devices/Wired Headset/Uncheck Plugin (to remove the headset icon)
Restart
2.Download tooglehead. There is a link here on XDA. It is a widget so after downloading it you have to go to widgets on your home screen, hold and drag it. It will make it open. Check the two boxes and restart.

deactivate Headset Button

with two presses at the headset button you recall the last number
How can i deactivate this function.
If you hear music and put the butten by mistake, that is boring.
Have somebody an idea?
Please, please.
What do you mean with "headset button"?
Such a hardware button does not exist.
TDO
oh ye it does exist? on the cable "hub" of the headset, I've got this problem aswell
carrying a bag arond the shoulder putting pressure on that spot making calls to different people :/
getting tired of coming up with lame excuses for why I'm calling them from out of nowhere!
Should be able to deactive it somehow?
Very annoying indeed. Anyone's got an idea on how to disable this button?

Yes open it up and stick a piece of paper under the electric contact.
I have the same problem.
If you press the answer/hang up button on your headset twice you'll going to do a call to the last called person. I actually made a 3:rd call once by mistake during a call and have BIG problems with be sure that i end phonecalls by using a headset.
This sux. Also, the music player hangs and sometimes the phone if I got an SMS or alarm notification while music is playing. If the music player hangs, I have to re-sync the headset bluetooth devices with the phone. that sux also.
I find this an anoying feature as well. Keeping the whole set in your pocket will most likely lead to an accidental call...
Anyone a solution to this?

...programmatically.
He he what a surprise was when I was walking on a street n listenin to music n suddenly music stopped n I heard "hello hello are you there??"
Yep that sucks but I think there´s no option how to disable it..perhaps only that way what´s written above
Ok, see I'm not the only one with this problem.
The funny thing is that almost nobody uses the functionality, but everybody is annoyed with it
any sollutions yet, I really hate it
grtz
Would love to find a solution for this too
my button is definitely malfunctioning and activating without any button press. until i can deactivate this thing, leaving the headphones plugged means i'll call someone within a few seconds.

Since I lost my headset, I no longer have this problem now
if you press the headset button twice, the system will simply run redial.exe in \windows, so you can disable it by replacing any program with the same name that do nothing.
Mine annoyed me so much I pulled the front off the button and ripped the metal contact bit out. It worked, but isn't ideal.
I now have a wicked pair of Jabra BT3030's bluetooth headphone receiver and I love it. Much better!
i installed Total Commander an simply edited the Redial.exe .. after nearly throwing the phone out of the window..
PS. i know the thread is old but maybe there are still ppl looking for a solution to that problem just like i was ten seconds ago
Same here.
There are other threads about this problem.
Still looking for a solution like, let's say a registry hack that disables the headset button...
HELP

Phone stuck in "headphone mode" (PLEASE HELP)

For somereason, my phone is stuck in Headphone mode.
like on the top corner, it shows that my phone is still in headphone state.
the problem is that even when my headphone is unplugged my phone is still in that state...
...meaning that, without my headphones plugged in, the other party cannot hear me and i cannot hear them.
i tried soft and hard resetting the phone, but nothing works.
Everything else is working phone, it just that i cannot make a call, answer a call, listen to music without my headphone....
Any help or tips is greatly appreciated.
Thanks alot!!
it already happend to my phone.. what i did is i connect the headset again and did remove my battery and remove the headset then turned on the phone again and the headset icon disappears.
if your problem still continues, i guess you should go to sony ericsson for replacement it seems your jack is grounded or alike. i heard that the jack is somewhat tight and could put a groove in you headset male jack.
PROBLEM SOLVED....
http://www.portability.nl/windows-m...artphone-stuck-in-headset-or-car-profile.html
apparently its a hardward problem...
I had the same problem. This is what i did put your headset back in turn windows media player on now start a song and pull out the headset. Now it should get out of headset mode. Thats what has been working for me twice.
The other thing to watch for too, and this was a big problem with the older model HTC/SPV Devices, is that the detection switch inside the socket gets stuck.
I had this happen many times on my various SPV's up until HTC Started producing models where the headphones plugged into the mini USB.
If it does happen to be the switch getting stuck, you can try plugging in the headset and wiggling it about a bit, or i found that a wooden cocktail stick was a rather good device, to just poke in and rattle about a little bit.

the stylus is good too.
Hi there,
got the same problem. Tried everything, soft- and hard-reset, cleaned the connector with some alcohol....
Just before i got in the mood to open the case to have a deeper look at the connector, i stumbled over here
This is what i did put your headset back in turn windows media player on now start a song and pull out the headset. Now it should get out of headset mode. Thats what has been working for me twice.

This also worked for me
As a conclusion, i think there are several reasons (as usual ) that lead to this problem.
It may partly rely on the connector itself, e.g. bad "on" resistance of the contacts or mechanical twisted in any way.
Maybe some of the internal pull-up resistors are to weak also.
Additionally the software driver may have some issues, to indicate the "plug out" properly.
I also had such issue on HTC universal once upon a time.
It was also partly software related. In other words some "plug-in-plug-out" loops while playing some music solved the issue on that device.
Anyway, this maybe called another weird bug on a winmob platform.
Thanks for the hint again!!!
Best regards,

It's me again
I wonder if these headphone problems had gone with the latest firmware.
With R1AA017 the "headphone mode" issue could be reproduced a 1000 times.
1. Today screen, plug in the headphone
2. plug out headphone, headphone symbol stays active
3. plug in headphone again and start WM player
4. start some music, plug out headphone, symbol is gone, sound from the speaker
EDIT:
As it seems with R2AA006 the "headphone mode" issue is gone.
1. Today screen, plug in the headphone, headphone symbol appears
2. plug out headphone, headphone symbol disappears
Works as it should!
Anyway, please report if you ever got these problems and what kind of firmware you are using.
Let's try to concentrate on stock images (R2... , R3...), otherwise this would get very confusing
Cheers,
scholbert
sent it back for repair ... this happened to me twice and i sent it back for repair and the problem was with the headphone not the phone itself
Hi it happened to me as well. so after few times i was pi.... off and i send it to back to SE repair centre. and i also claim a crack in case. and believe or not they fix it in 12 days. That means SE knows those problems very well. my advise is dont be shy and send it there , they will fix it without any hassle.
try to drain the battery and charge it back up.
I also sent it back. After 5 weeks the idiots at SE Service returned it unrepaired, charged me 40 €, and claimed that the phone was once opened (it was not).
Will now buy an HTC or Nokia. Never ever again an SE.
It Got Solved
Hi It's very simple take your stylus and insert it into the headphone socket and move very gently, It will solve the problem.
For me it had worked always.
Weird but works
Hi all
ive been having the same prob here ... :
phone remains in headset mode even after jack is unplugged.
have been trying:
turning registry entry
blowing (worked at very rare times )
stylus/ pin playing ..
till now, no good solution
my request:
is there a way ( cab install, registry hack) so as to disable the whole of the headset.. its ok if i dont use it anymore.. ! i want it software, like some sort of software to disable the headset module completely ...
awaiting reply.
thanks & Regards,
Yeah I think there is a way. If you search for when I posted about this last year I think someone says how to do it in the comments.
Lots of people seem to be claiming that software tricks can solve this problem. If that worked for you, that's a co-incidence. Even re-flashing a different ROM won't sort out a mechanical fault. Just go get a safety pin.
my experience about the headphone problem
First time, when happaned I was crazy, because I coudn't answer a call and the phone looks like was broken. I suggest,(not a big deal) to close the player program prior you disconnet you headphone or in radio panel mode, to swicth to speaker listenig first and then plug off headphone. Nothing else, don't worry
Well, since I'm using a new phone I've decided I'm going to open my phone up to manually fix this problem as for me, what happened was, a very tiny screw got lodged within the headphone jack. I managed to get the screw out but I think I damaged the connector responsible for signaling that a headset is plugged in.
I have one problem however, I dont have the security screwdrivers nessary to gain access so I'm wondering, if anyone know any tricks to open the phone up. I've heard I can use locktite to bond the screw to whatever I want to use however that would be something I'd consider if I cant think of anything else. Until then I'll try using a screw driver just large enough to wedge itself in place and unscrew but if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please if you would be so kind.
In the meantime if I make any headway I'll let you know what happens. (Does anyone want to know anything if I do open it up?).
Ok I opened it up... Let me tell you it certainly was difficult. My phone had suffered the cracking problem which made it somewhat hard to take apart without it falling to bits but I managed nevertheless.
As I peeled away parts of the phone to get to the small headphone jack, I instantly found the problem, the little clip that performs as the switch to headset mode was buckled... I got some really tiny pliers and I managed to re-bend it however, the clip wasn't touching the contact switch! *RAGE*. So I play around with it a little more and realise hang on... it's moving too much, I then noticed that the clip was actually cracked *ANGER*.
So I decided... ok, off goes the clip. I permanently soldered the connection instead and hey presto, no more headset mode, of course this means, I can never use headset mode but that's not a problem for me.
If anyone wants any help, please feel free to ask . I managed to give the keyboard a clean also! (No more double presses or keys that dont respond either!).
With this goddamn problem, is it possible to connect stereo bluetooth with sound?

Answering the last question: YES it should work as bluetooth audio has nothing to do with the headphone jack and I normally used bluetooth headset with the headphone mode stucked
coming back to topic It seems it is depending on case more soft or hardware-related. in my case it was rather hardware, no mediaplayer/radio method helping and putting stylus in helped only two times.
So I used compressed air to blow through the jack and then cleaned it with the earbud head/material ONLY (as the bud does not fit in) on a wooden stick (but then you might have hard times to pull the rest of the budhead out)
Anyways it worked, so far after many tries to make sure it doesn't get stucked !
I guess in future WD40 may be even better
Man this phone is so good and yet so full of bugs !!

Cant hear caller

Hey guys, Im having an issue with my xperia. I reflashed it to a new rom and hard-reset it. For some reason I can't hear the caller nor can the caller hear me when Im on a call. This just randomly started happening one day. Anyone help?
Edit, I just ntoiced my headphone icon won't go away. So I can only hear people if a headphone is connected, anyone know any way around this cause I'm thinking my sensor may be messed up. I dont know what to do now
SAV you can't do anything about this issue.
I have the same bug 3 months ago then my phone came back normal and 2 weeks ago the bug re appeared so SAV again ....
-connect your headphone
-run windows player with a video or an audio file
-during the play, slowly disconnect your headphone
The headphone icon must be away
If it does not work, the only solution is SAV...
well i was able to fix it yesterday. I dont know which one of these fixed it but I tried two methods. First I read is plugging in the headphone and slowly taking it out of the jack while pushing the headphone jack towards the screen. Then someone wrote that they used the pressurized air cleaner to blow inside the headphone hole. After trying those two methods, the headphone icon went away. Seems to be fine now. Thanks for the help though!
Maybe this will help someone else.
Also, what is SAV?
i got stereo bluetooth headphones and i haven't tested them yet. i got the same problem with this icon, and it won't go away. So, my question is: IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONNECT STREO BLUETOOTH WITH THIS ICON ON THE SCREEN?

[SOLVED!] Part of headset stuck in audio jack Galaxy Note [how to disable audio jack]

Hi everyone,
Yesterday my plug of my headset broke off, and is now stuck in the audio jack of my Galaxy Note.
I have insured my Galaxy Note, but I want to send the phone to the insurence company after Christmas/New Year, so I can still shoot photo's/video's for the holidays.
But because it's stuck in the audio jack, the phone thinks there's a headset connected. So when I try to make a call, I'm forced to press Handsfree to hear the other person. It's the same thing for the Music player, I can't hear the songs.
It's not a big problem that it's stucked, but it's a big problem for me to make calls this way.
So my question is, is it possible to (temporary) disable the audio jack? I've tried an application from the Market that should do the trick (Headset blocker), but it didn't work for me. It still thinks there's a headset plugged in.
So is there someone who knows, how to disabled the audio jack with an app, or a command or another way to do so?
Thank you for your help and have a nice holiday!
you could try a dab of superglue on the end of a toothpick to try to get the piece out.

I've tried that already (found tutorials on Youtube), but it don't work. It's to stuck in the audio jack. I went to a repair shop and they have tried it, but they can't get the piece out also. They say that the phone must be opened (insurence company).
But if I managed to (temporary) disable the audio jack, I'm happy also, so that I can use my phone normally. I will bring the phone to the insurence company after the hollidays, because the repairing takes normally a couple of weeks.
OMG, I've got it!!
I've found an app that worked!!

Would be faster if u just unscrew the backcover and remove the stucked headjack uself.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395971
But of course, can u send it in, if u are afraid to loose warranty and dont want take the risk.
I would do it myself, with such minor problem, instead send it in, that takes few minutes to fix and few weeks waiting to have it back.
Unscrew 9-10 screws, remove backcover, pop stucked headjack out and put backcover back.

Thanks for the link mate, couldn't find any pics or a vid about the inside of the Note. Just had my phone apart, it seems to be that the thing that's stuck, is too small to remove it from the audio jack, so the whole audio jack must be replaced. I see in the pics and vid its a part that can be replaced, so i know that now, thank you!

[Q] Using Speech With Headphones

I don't know if anyone else has ever asked this question here but I couldn't find a thread for this so I created a new one
So I have a windows phone for a while, to be more specific Windows Phone 8x by HTC. I have notice that in loud areas the phone automatically lunches speech and start listening.
Here is an example. I'm listening to music and I'm holding the phone to show my friend a picture. He sees the picture and we start commenting it. I'm still holding the phone and we are still looking at the picture and the speech start without pressing anything on the phone.
My question is why is this happening and are there any commands that trigger the speech app to start? I know that the speech is lunched with the windows button below the screen but sometimes it lunches without pressing it.

Can you check if maybe your headphones have some loose connection on the pin or maybe the cord is damaged?
Just an opinion.
That seems likely. Press-and-hold on the headset button (as found on most phone headsets) will trigger speech-recognition mode; it's possible you're either pressing it by accident or that the headsets have some damage which causes the signal for that button being pressed to be sent to the phone.

As far as i know there are rare cases when it`s the software that`s causing this.I sometimes have this problem but only when i`m pulling the phone out of my pocket which causes the cord to twist somehow and by that starting the speech recognition option.
Try first by gently twisting the pin on the headphones and then slowly folding the cord all the way to the ends.Or at the end try it with other headphones just to be sure?

I have Philips headphones and they are not made for a phone. I have no microphone nor a headset button. so the problem isn't here either.
