Hi all, i recently bought an htc hd 2 used, and i have the following problems with the wired stero headset - earphones included in the box, ill describe what they do and what they wont do, as the previous owner informed me the hands free where almost unused, that means they are like new, and believe me they look like new.
The htc hands free do:
sound will come out of the speakers when i play music
as an antenna for the radio player
The htc hands free wont do:
the mic wont work when im on the phone, i only can hear they canot hear me
and finaly the controls play / pause / next / previous / answer call buttons wont work
I hope you can help me with this problem.
OS: 5.2.21869
manila version: 2.5.19211619
rom version: 18/11/09
radio version: 2.05.51.05_2
Exactly the same issue started cropping up a few weeks ago- strange as it worked perfectly for 5 months.
Hi rieuwa if i find some time i will try to replace the rom with another to see if the problem persists, i dont think is a hardware problem, as i said the earphones are barely used, i think that there might be a software problem.
rieuwa, did you try to restore the rom ?
Hi telas, I actually went in to three phone shops today, until I found one that had a spare HD2 wired headset with buttons to test.
Sure enough, in my case it's the headset that is broken. It worked fine with his headset. Currently with mine I can play music just fine, but the three buttons just don't work.
So I'm just about to start a support call... 'Dear HTC...'
I'm wondering if some sort of short in the plug isn't also causing my other problem whereby occasionally with the headset plugged in, my volume controls on the phone suddenly change into next track/previous track, with no way to get out of that other than a soft reset or turning off the phone (and the HD2 isn't the fastest booter....)
Good luck with yours!
Hi there and thanks, actually my case gets more and more weird, my roommate just bought today an htc hd 2 himself, i asked him if the hands free work he said yes, i said lets test YOUR handsfree on my device, after we pluged it in we pressed the buttons and music played the controls all ok, i said lets plug MY handsfree on your device to see if my handsfree are broken or not, and guess ? THEY DID WORK!
Then we pluged in HIS handsfree on MY device to see if they work and they worked, then we tested mine again on my device and they didnt and now the grant finale, i asked him minutes ago to test his handfree on my device again to double check anddddddddddddddddd THEY DIDNT WORK!!!
Facts:
My hands free work just fine, on other devices
Hands free from other hd 2 devices work fine on my device
Hands free from other hd 2 devices will work for one time only
WTF?
I have same problem headphones buttons not working and when call connected i can hear, but caller not (also i cannot answer with headphone button). After installed 3.14 stock rom headphones buttons problem was random and just after moons using buttons not working every time. So i hear need to delete BsB Tweaks or just disable some options, i try but no luck. I decide to back to my first Htc Hd2 stock rom 1.66, with this rom when i buy Hd2 headphones buttons works fine and just several times i have problem with starting music with button. But what, when i install 1.66 stock rom and try headphones - buttons not working, WTF?
Sorry for my very bad english, but are you guys have any ideas about this problem?
Hey and im having the same problem too, headphones used to wrok perfectly, in my 1.66 rom, upgraded to 3.14 and the problems started, during this time, in a Cyanogen Mod build of android i checked a setting that said "use buttons on headset" so i could control my music in android, and well after reverting back to a 1.66 rom....headset play forward and backwards buttons wont work but music will play through the headset.
I Highly doubt android could be the culprit, and the roms are only software, so maybe its a hardware issue, even though ive used my headset very carfully...im going to try with another set of htc headphones and see if i can find a solution...very wierd.
Hi all,
I am the owner of the original cardock
Samsung ECS-V968
and tabel dock
Samsung ECR-D968
and both works fine till yesterday.
The table dock is still working perfect. I hear my music using the jack on the backside of the dock every day and I can switch the speaker with an app called:
SGS Dock Speaker right here from the forum. Before that I also used the Home App and CarApp all working fine.
In my car it does not work anymore, from one day to another. I thougt the cadock is brocken and bought a new one but still no sound.
In general the USB audio out is working (tabledock) so what is the problem?
please help!!
best regards from germany
Hi all,
I have a brand new Note and I'm not sure that it's working fine:
When I plug the included handsfree in the jack, and yes all the way in until it "clicks", I have the following weird behavior:
- sound on phone conversation comes from handsfree but microphone active is not the one from the handsfree, it's the one from the phone
- when using Skype, sound comes from phone loudspeaker, then when I unplug the handsfree the sound comes from the phone earspeaker, then when I plug the handsfree again the sound comes from the handsfree... and while all this the active microphone is the one from the phone
I have no way to check whether it's the phone or the handsfree, both are new from unsealed box, I think I suspect the phone, and more precisely the phone is having a hard time knowing when/if its handsfree is plugged...?
I have another 10 days to return the phone and get a new one, anything that I'm doing wrong or shall I return it?
(It's a white Note running latest 2.3.6)
Thanks for your help.
As an update, I read that the Skype issue is... well, a Skype issue and that they're working on it...
But the problem remains with the microphone of the handsfree, still not working, not working when making phone calls, and not working with the application "Voice Recorder".
Any setting that I have to use in order to enable the handsfree mic to work and not use the phone microphone when the handsfree is plugged in (all the way until the click) ? I wouldn't think so but asking just in case before raising hell at the store so they give me a new one.
(BTW the phone's not rooted or anything, all stock 2.3.6)
Thanks for any feedback.
Hi all,
My dad has an i900 which I put darky 7.0 on many months ago. Since then I personally moved on to the i9300 so ive not kept up with the i9000 scene, so excuse me if im a bit rusty!
So his audio was working fine through headset, but he hasnt used a headset for a few months.
His headphones broke and he replaced them with some REALLY cheap £1 ones which didnt work properly.
He has now purchased some "genuine" ones from ebay for "£1". He says they look like they are authentic, but he has the same issue.
Basically the issue is that he has no sound. However the sound works when he gets an incoming call. After that the sound works on everything until he disconnects and reconnects the headset, then it doesnt work again until he gets another call...
Now I would say that maybe the headphones are fakes, but as I dont live close I cant check and as the audio does actually work after a call, I think this may be software related.
Is this a known issue that can be fixed easily?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I did a search, but either my search terms were ineffective, or no one has had this problem.
I purchased a new S-5 last Fall, but didn't activate it with ATT until a couple of weeks ago.
I just tried to use my phone with "Square" payment system (plugs into the headset jack), and it wouldn't accept credit card swipes. I then tried the card reader with my Samsung tablet and it worked fine, so I tried a headset with my S-5, and the earphones worked fine, but there was no sound being sent from the microphone.
This leads me to think there's something wrong with the phone itself, or the headset jack in the phone.
I made sure that my APP for "Square" has the microphone enabled under settings, and it does.
Is there some setting for the phone itself (not the APP being used) that allows one to enable or disable the headset microphone that may be set to "Disable", or do I just have a bad phone?
Thanks,
Bob
