I can't make calls, listen to mp3's or even listen to the radio...
Can someone please help...
The last thing I installed on my x1 was Xtrackt game, the Growing panel, the new panel manager, the new Media Xperia Panel.....
I've had that happen a couple of times, I was out and about at the time, and just switched it off/on a few times, as well as reinserting/removing the headphones. That seemed to fix it for me.
i also jiggled the stylus in the headphone socket a couple of times which fixed it ...
Plug in the headphones, lock the phone, unlock it, and remove the headphones again.... hopefully that should solve it.
Thanks for the pointers, its still not working...
arghhhh....this is so frustrating!!!!
wat radio r u using????
well I don't use the radio that often, but the one inside the Media Xperia Panel....
I had this problem too. And got it resolved.
I also had this problem, couldn't use my phone unless i had the headset on. Soft reset, hard reset, put my stylus in the headphone jack, and the headset jack in and back out. Nothing worked. I restored my phone back to the original SPL, and factory restore with the newest Update. Called Sony Ericsson up and they had me send it to a Certify Sony Repair Store. Took about 4 days and i got it back working and seems to be functioning better than before.

Yeah, did the same...
The final option for me would be to take the phone apart myself and reassemble...or take it back to Sony...
i have had same problem and it worked again well after few softs resets. (with a stock rom)
i dint knowed if it this was a "physical error" (something with the conector) or some soft error...
the only good thing is that u can listen the radio without have the headset pluged in
so my question is:
any wat to do this for hearing radio withous headset? LoL
me 2 same problem here ... but what i did was plug in my headset and started up media player listening to music. Then would unplug the headset open the slider keyboard then slide it shut back fast and hard. This I observed by accident as it would glitch i suppose and the headset icon would go away. I would be fine with the phone being able to use without headset.
ive had the same problem in the beginning with my X1. i Found out that if i put my stylus in and move around with it, it will not show the headphone any more. guess the sensor is not worked out so well...
anyway, i can put my stylus in the headphone hole and listen to the radio without headphones
this happened to me when i used the stylus as a antenna - just stick it in there and jiggle it about
camera on and off worked too
I tried all of the above methods and the following worked in the end (i cant make the bug happen again, so I have no idea which steps were neccessary)
I slid the slider open with headset plugged in, unplugged the headset then pressed (accidentally) the camera button on the right side of the phone. When I quit the camera mode the headset icon was gone.
HELP
Assalamualekum
My phone has stucked to headset . I've hard reset it, even installed new rom. btw I'm using energy rom. I don't use headset btw.
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....

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 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!!!

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 !!
Hi!
I have been lurking this forum for quite a while. And I got a problem that I couldn't find a solution too with searching.
I was jogging the other day when a couple of girls gave me an playfull smile I took of my headset to chat, and then did I realize that the music was playing out the speaker loud as ****.
So my problem is that when I plug my head phones in the mini jack, the music keeps playing out the speaker, as well as in the head phones. So I didn't realize it before now.
I tried changing the sound settings and only using the sound controller in the media player, no luck there
Hope you guys can help Thanks!

Lies...........
inside the 3.5mm minijack there is a connector that detect when the headset is connected
it's a fysical thing and at times it get stuck
people had luck with wiggling and inserting and removing
the headset a few times
like this just reverse
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530786
of cause it could be that the connector is damaged
The same thing happened to me because of running HyperGPS.
I tried that Rudegar, managed to toggle the head set-icon on/off, didn't change fix it
try to drain the battery and charge it back up.
Hi. I had a problem for a few days. The headset sensor, always reportet i plugged in the headsets, and unplugged. This generated a great cpu usage, as it alwas made like plugged - unplugged continuously.
I tried to use air pump to blos into the plugger, and i used an cotton buds to clean the headset plug. But did not work.
So when it again began with that trick, i tould him not to adwise me again.
But now if someone calls me, i cant hear anything except plugging the headset, or activating the speaker button.
It seems like if the internal speaker doesn't work anymore.
Someone any ideas? Or is it broken?
Try to factory reset first. If it still happen, reflash the ROM
FInally got my new Droid Turbo up and running but now I'm experiencing an audio output problem with the headphone jack. I use the Radiopup app and SiriusXM app to stream radio during the day. I generally connect to an aux in on my radio at work. Audio works fine for a bit, but consistently cuts out. It generally will restart and changing the volume on the phone also seems to bring it back. If disconnected from the headphone jack and playing through the phone speaker, things play just fine with no interruptions. This is driving me crazy...any ideas?
Do you have a case that might be preventing the plug from going in the whole way?

I don't have a case on the phone and the sound was definitely working well when it was actually working. I ended up doing a factory reset and it is working for now...hopefully it stays that way.
