Weirdest thing. I installed recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1-cyan.img again and immediately loading up my existing OS, I found I couldn't hear out of the phone's ear piece. The back speaker worked.
I eventually got it working by loading up the music app and plugging/unplugging in headphones a few times. Typically the music will pause when you pull out your headphones. It appears this "sense" is broken. So it just thinks my headphones are always plugged in. Sucks because the ear piece is muted thus useless for calls without a headset or using the back speaker.
Well I flashed a Mocado Sense rom, and noticed the headphone icon in the tray. I can't get it to go away. Tried same methods as before.
I've flashed back to Geo411gm's stock FRF91 rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714184
Same thing. Advice?
[Update]
Wow. I Fixed it but I can replicated it easily. Seems it isn't properly detecting removal of the headset jack. I have to really tweak the jack to get it to start playing through the phones speakers.
Anyone else experience this?
Anyone?
Right now I'm flashing PASSIMG.zip for ERD79 to see if it was something to do with recovery image or custom firmware. I'm thinking it might be a hardware problem though which sucks.
I've used my headphones in the past without problem. I reboot my phone all the time too. Just seemed it started after the recovery image was loaded.
[UPDATE]
No i'm sittin' pretty at ERD79, downloading the FRF91 update as I type this and the headphone jack is still screwed up.
Calling Google.
[UPDATE 2]
Called Google and HTC. Getting an Advanced replacement next week sometime.

Using an ENERGY Rom Mercury, but I have tried other roms as well. When I plug in my headphone adapter and then attempt to play music through a 3.5mm audio jack, it calls the last person I dialed... repeatedly. Any suggestions?
Similar problem with Stock Headphones
I use to have the same thing happen with me when I used the stock headphones. The closest thing to a fix I could find for it was to hold down the button on the headphones as I plugged them in. It wasn' a 1005 fix but significantly reduced accidental calls. You might be having a similar problem with the adapter/headphone you're using so you might want to mess around a bit with any buttons you have on the adapter/headphones.
I have noticed this behavior as well, though I am not using the latest 7/22 ROM. It is not consistent though so I cannot say exactly when it happens, or why at this point.
This should be nothing to do with your ROMS. I had the exact same problem with my stock headphones after many months of use on a stock Touch Pro. I think its just related to physical damage of the headphones which somehow causes it to trigger the 'call last dial' function. I replaced my headhphones and everything has been running sweet since.
Hey guys, over the past couple days, it seems my phone has lost some audio abilities, what's weird is that some audio STILL works, here we go:
- Notifications (Text and email) *WORK*
- Music Player/Youtube Videos/Phone Calls(inside the call, and ringing) *DO NOT WORK*
- Phone Calls in SPEAKER mode *WORK*
Here's what I've tried:
- Flashing to stock via Odin (Did a flash, didn't master clear.)
- Reflashing Serendipity 6.3 (What I was using before, should I maybe try a different ROM? It's an i897 ROM.)
- "Pressing" on the speaker, as I heard some have connection problems, but this is almost a year after owning the phone.
- Different audio apps (Stock music app, and PowerAMP)
Any ideas?
Bump. REALLY need help.. Trying a format/reflash now...
so the ear speaker isnt working but the Loud speaker does?
the "press on it" trick is for the loud speaker on the back..
sounds like a hardware problem. there is a REALLY EASY FIX. call samsung and get it replaced. flash to stock before you send it in.
I bought it from ebay, new in box. The chances of Samsung accepting my phone for a refurb is nonexistent, isn't it?
Being without a phone isn't an easy fix for me. =P
Bump. Solution found.
It was actually my headphone jack failing. I pushed in my headphones, played some music and noticed the button on the samsung headphones wasn't working, I took the jack out, blew into it, and now the headphones no longer work, but audio is coming through the speakers again.
Fixed my problem, although it wasn't the fix I wanted, since I use my phone for all my music, constantly.
I had the same problem. Turned out to be lint from my pocket in the headphone jack. If you have lint, get a needle, take pliers and bend a small hook in the sharp end. Pull out the lint that got jammed in with your headphones. I posted this fix a while ago in the SamsungCaptivateForum.com. I thought I was the only one who had the problem.
You know, that makes a lot of sense. I took a can of air spray this afternoon and let the headphone jack have it, and now it seems fixed. I think it might have been dirt from work. (Damn you, construction!)
Nice!
Thanks for the tips, I was having the same speaker issue and this certainly helped me out. My music player would cut in and out randomly if had it playing on the loud speaker.
How bout a pair of bluetooth stereo headphones instead of relying on headphone jack? I have motorola motorokr s305. I got em off ebay for $30 and they work pretty good.

So I was running Aosp+CM7 for awhile now. I was listening to music on my phone (stock music app) and all of a sudden my sound went gone? I didn't drop it as it just stopped out of nowhere. My sound only works with headphones though.. just found out after searching a little bit. Any suggestions? If anything I guess it may be a hardware issue.
I guess i'm the only one with the issue?! ugh its annoying ! I need sounds
Try flashing a different ROM.
Try using an air duster, or whatever its called, and blowing air in the speaker.
You might have a bad speaker. You might be able to replace it on your own or find a shop that is pretty cheap.

I had to have mine replaced twice and it still never worked correctly. I always had to tap the back of the phone were the speaker is to have it come back on.
#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
Just bought a used xperia t with part of the headphone jack stuck inside and the earpiece/apps/music has no volume. I have removed the headphone socket but damaged it removing the part stuck inside. Now I assumed the phone would work ok with it removed but still has same issue.
Anyone know if having the socket removed would revert the phone into headphone mode? I can use it on speaker phone and you hear alarms and notifications but nothing through earpiece and apps and games are silent.
Do you think it's a separate issue as I have factory reset it twice but still the same. I have seen sockets on eBay but they are around £28 delivered and don't really want to spend that if its gonna be the same.
I read about issues due to software so considered reverting it back to ICS since it came with latest JB software.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Simon.
Just solved it myself. It still thinks it in headphone mode so downloaded an app from play store called "SoundAbout" which has an option to disable jack detection so it now works just no headphone socket unless I get a replacement.
For some reason, my phone seems to think that I have headphones connected all the time. If i plug headphones in, I get sound through them, but once I unplug them, it still carries on as if they weren't taken out (Poweramp pauses on headset disconnect - which it isn't), I have tried rebooting and it has had no effect. I'm on Crystal PA, if that helps. I have no idea whats triggered this, Ive been using Poweramp player on all my androids for a long time, I doubt the app is causing it. The speakers are just not switching back on after the headphones have been removed.
Could this be a hardware problem?
Probably. Are you using Viper Audio or have the FauxSound app installed? Check those apps.

Aha, never thought about that, I know Crystal PA has viper installed but Im not using it, I was using MusicFX, Ive switched to viper and installed the viper driver and i got sound out of the speaker for a few seconds then it went back to thinking there's headphones connected. This is such a random problem! I havnt touched any of the audio settings since I installed this rom about 2-3 weeks ago, just left things on default.
I think im going to have to wipe and reinstall a ROM and see if that fixes it, i semi messed up this install by trying out the Supercharger script which seems to have made my UI even more flakey rather than improving it.
I really dislike how every ROM Ive tried out on this phone lasts for a few weeks before it gets glitchy with UI crashes and general slowness. And this is not a dig at the devs at all, its not their fault, there is just something deep in this phone which seems to screw it up. The temptation to drive an axe through this phone is growing!
So I've just gone into recovery, wiped system, factory reset and wiped dalvik cache, installed FXP349 CM11 and the same issue is there, sound just wont stop outputting through the headphones, if I turn the ringer volume up, the phone outputs through the speakers, but if i get a call, the phone ignores the earpiece and automatically uses the headphones port to output (doesnt matter if the headphones are actually plugged in or not). I have to switch to speakerphone to hear what people are saying (it sounds very bad quality).
So i guess this means its a hardware problem, Im going to have to try and open up the phone, see if i can see anything broken in there.
Does anyone have experience with any of this?

This may sound stupid but its not just a bit of crap thats been compacted into the jack? I am having the same problem and suspect that may be the cause. I have had this problem before with a phone, but tried to get the foreign material out of the jack with a pin, I ended breaking the jack by pulling part of it out along with whatever was in there. I haven't attempted to clean out my sp's jack yet but am sure thats what it is.

Well this was my first idea, I tried spraying compressed air into the jack hole but nothing came out, I also tried a cotton swab in the hole - again nothing. I cant see anything foreign in the hole, so Im thinking the port itself is broken in someway, outputs fine but the port just isn't detecting me unplugging headphones. Ive looked at a dis-assembly guide but it means taking off bits of protective film which I don't know if you can just stick them back on.
Im going to make a nandroid backup of my phone in its current state on the latest CM build and then try going back to original Sony software with an FTF, just to see being put back to stock state will change anything. (my friend thinks its some kind of low level software problem). I dont have high hopes but its worth a shot.
EDIT: So moving back to full stock Sony software with an FTF of 12.1.A.1.205 firmware has had no effect, this must mean its a hardware issue.
So weirdly today, after plugging my phone into a car aux cable and playing some music through it, it magically fixed itself? it snowed a bit the other night and i got pretty soaked by it cycling to work so I think it could have been moisture in the phone or something, its the only explanation I can think of. Its working again now.
