Cant hear caller - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Tilt problem with the motorola S9

I've searched everywhere, and couldn't find anything on this...
A few weeks ago, my girlfriend got me the Motorola S9 for my Tilt, I hooked it up, and realized sound was only coming out of the left ear... So, I searched google about the problem and found out a few people seem to have had that problem, and to just replace the S9... Well, I recently did (After the AT&T store found it fun to hassle me over exchanging ...) and The newer one has the same exact problem.
I've paried it and repaired it, soft reset the phone... turned the bluetooth headset off and than back on after setting it and nothing, sound only comes out of the left ear, however i know the right ear is working cause when i have an incoming call, both outputs ring, as well as beep when I hit the various controls on the S9. I also can hear a wooshing type noise when i'm talking or listening to music on the device (which gives me a headache, as only listening with one ear is annoying)
is there any type of software fix I could get to fix this? i'd hate to have the return the s9 again...

I am running slueth's windows mobile 6.1. when I call the conversatoin only occurs in the left earpiece, when I use steroe its fine

HTC Diamond headphones autodial problem

I have an wierd problem in my htc touch diamond.
Everytime i connect the headphones it tries to autodial a name in my contacts list.
And if i connect the radio it doest it nonstop... i heard the "bip" and then its like if it wanted to dial a name...
It sounds strange..but it is like that.
hope somenone knows what im talking about cause im gettting nuts...
Spanish original vodafone rom, not that many programs installed, although started doing it after installing thumbcal and pocketmax alarm today.. although I dont think that is the problem since i restored with spb backap a 1 month ago backup i made and still same headphones problem.
Have checked the headphone button.. and it seems to be ok (at first I though if maybe was stuck..)
Got the same problem. Did anyone know how to solve it?
sounds to me like a faulty headset. Try to connect a different set of headphones and see if it acts the same way.
I got same problem
Hi, your problem solved? my HTC diamond got the same problem, so irritating.
I have the same problem, I was told it was that the button on the headphones was too sensitive, so as I never use it I ripped the button off.
It isn't nearly as bad but still does it sometimes.
My friend with the same phone says that this fixed his though.
I think I need to have another go at it, see if I can stop it properly.
Ok, so I pulled the cover from the button on the headphones and ripped out all of the metal button that is attached to the board inside.
It's certainly working so far.
headphones HELP PLEASE!!!
hey guys i picked a pair of headphones from the store they fit my htc daimond and all but wen i plug them in nuthing happens wen i plug ionto to my razr or slvr they work fine is there an app that can help change this or something please help
HTC headphones auto dial problem finally solved!!!!
guys,I am using HTC Touch Pro2,I have same problem when headphone is plugged into HTC touch pro2;
Description of symptom:
Sometimes when you touch or move the wires of headphone,the phone will automatically dial back the first number in your call hisory (it's not "contacts list" as this poster said),the problem is not stable,when you deliberately fiddle with the wires of headphone hoping to find out what is the problem,it doesnt auto dial,while when you casually try to adjust the position of the wires to make yourself comfortable,it auto dials!
People completely have no idea what is going on,like it's a ghost behind it.
I initially believed that maybe the movement of the wires shakes the USB slot,which triggers internal electronic touching or somthing.
Like others,I checked whether there is some button along the wires of headphone,I found none,thus this mystery remains forever.
However,the other day,suddenly I did find a button in the wire. Now pls look at your HTC headphone,the middle of the black box(where two wires are jointed) is the button! the cover of this box is clickable, pls try to click it sveral times,the phone will auto dial.
it is now clear that this clickable cover (button) is specifically designed to auto dial back the call when you use headphone.
The button is so sensitive that even small touch will make it execute.
I had the same problem
I had this annoying problem and i sent my phone in service. I got a new pair of headphones and after some time (~1 year) same problem occured. I think this are the crappiest headphones i ever seen . THX HTC ) anyone found any good headphones (not necessarily original) that I can buy?
same problem
Had the same problem. It's caused by faulty wiring in the headphones. Mine do the calling when the wire at the end of the connector gets wiggled into certain positions (i.e. when I keep it in my pocket or in my hand while running). It's really annoying especially since this is my 3rd set in as many months that has this problem.
I've also noticed that Orange is selling them at a quarter of the price they had in December. I'm guessing they're trying to get rid of them since the new models from htc come with standard headphone jacks.
Only sure fire solution to the problem is getting a new pair.
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 !!

[Q] No sound from earpiece or from music, but notification/alarm/other sounds work

Hi Forum,
I orginally posted this topic on the man Q and A board but it was buried quickly with no response. Perhaps this is a better venue to ask.
My phone is roughly a year old, and today I ran into a weird and potentially phone killing problem
I received a few phone calls from my girlfriend today, the ringer rang loud and clear, but I heard no sound from my ear piece. After a few "Hello?"s, I hung up thinking it was a bad connection. Upon seeing my girlfriend afterwards, she said she heard me on my end. So I got her to call me again and I tried to use speaker phone, and I could hear her fine.
Doing some research on google, I only ran across one other person who had this problem, and upon seeing this, I tested my music player, (as theirs didn't work), and mine doesn't work either
This other person said the problem resolved itself a day later.
In short, my ear piece has no sound during a phone call and my media sound doesn't work (though it works w/ headphones.) My notification sounds and speaker phone DO work, as well as my alarms
Do the notification and speaker phone speakers come from a different place than media and ear piece speakers?
Do I have a software issue? I tried the "push the speaker down" solution but to no avail
Should I wait like the other person?
Any suggestions?
Thanks forum!

I had nearly the same issue, except mine got to the point where the speaker phone didn't work either. Music played fine, phone calls stopped working. I went through a lengthy process of accidently deleting everything I had on my phone, which lead me to buy a USB Jig, install the stock ROM and it worked perfectly. I would suggest trying this before you try and physical fixes on your phone.
Thanks for the suggestion SGT_Watkins
I am an absolute noob when it comes to this stuff. So it took me a while to even figure out what you were saying
BUT, after a whole night of reading and flashing it WAS FIXED!!!
I am quite tempted to phone Samsung and give them a piece of my mind after they told me some hardware was defective even though they clearly weren't listening to what the problem was
Thank you again!
How did you solve this?
I have the EXACT same problem on my Galaxy Nexus. I've wiped it, tried different ROMs, kernels... Nothing solves it! It's like there's a persistent software problem that survives flashing and even battery pulls.
My phone had this same issue not long ago. It was after I had used some headphones for about an hour. I work in a paper converting factory, so I assume some dust was packed in the headphone jack and made the phone think something was plugged into it. I turned my phone upside down and used a paper clip to scrape it all out (compressed air may have been safer). After a few tries, all sounds were working properly again.

Headphones jack not working anymore.. Need help

Hi, so at first, i'm pretty newbie here and english isn't my primary language, so, sorry if i'm at the wrong place for this or if i'm difficult to understand..
So, i have an HTC One M7, and my problem is that the headphones jack won't recognize any headphones anymore.. I tried with 3 different headphones, i tried with 3 different roms (4.4.3 Stock, 4.4.4 CandyKat, 4.4.3 ViperOne), cleaned the lint that was stuck in the jack, and it doesn't matter, the jack won't work.
If i plug the headphones, the sound will just keep playing through the speakers.
I have found an alternative, which i guess you already know : Using the " SoundAbout " app to force the jack recognizing the headphones, and that way, it works perfectly. So, i don't know if this is hardware or software related. Or both...
The problem is that i'm now obligated to have " SoundAbout " constantly running in background, eating battery, taking place in status bar, and the WORST : If i set SoundAbout to make the headphones working, and if i unplug the headphones, the sound won't come through the speakers. I have to go back into the app to force the speakers working.. And vice-versa.
This is driving me nuts. The dude who selled me that One told me it was an update problem that should be fixed in the next OTA update (With android 5), i guess he was lying because it doesn't matter which rom is installed.
The notification front led never light up too.. Idk if broken or just bugged out.
Anyway, i'm begging for your help, this is an outstanding problem i NEVER had with any phones in the past (And god knows i had a lot of phones), i just don't know what to try next.. Maybe changing kernel but i guess it wouldn't change anything..

It sounds like a hardware problem to me ..the only real fix would be done by HTC
you could of coarse use Bluetooth headphones
Maybe, but i don't want to send my phone in repair service for weeks or months.. I'm not even sure if the problem appeared itself or if the guy who had it before me did it.. So idk if they would repair it
The confusing thing is that with SoundAbout, the headphones works perfectly.. Could it be the jack sensor that is broken ?
Also, for the notification led, i saw it blinking red when i was at low battery, finally.. But the led is very weak, can't notice it if i'm not in a dark place..

turn around time for HTC repair is under 10 days for most problems. the top speaker contains a lot of stuff. I would try sending it back
Well, the issue is gone now.. When i plugged my headphones this morning, the phone recognized them sometimes, i jiggled around the jack and now it works like it should everytime
I guess there was a pin or something in the jack output that was stuck, at least it's working now.
Thanks !
