Problem: captivate won't recognize headphones

I have had my phone for about a month now and I absolutely have has no problems until last night. I went to plug it into my tape adaptor in my car and it would not switch to audio out. Out just plays through the speaker. Anyone having the same problem? Anyone with a solution? Much thanks.

I would like to add that I have tested the stock headphones with no luck.

Any updates? I'm having the same problem. It's frustrating. Last night I plugged it in and it played a second over the headphones then back to the phone's speaker. Now it only does the speaker. I'm hoping it didn't fry something inside the phone!

If you have not, try rebooting.

This used to happen on my iPhone and I'm sure happens with most other headphone jacks. They get dirty. There's no denying that. You could always get a can of air and spray it out a bit, making sure that you don't get the liquid in there or take a peice of paper and put it on the headphone plug and use that to kinda clean out the jack itself. It has worked for me several times otherwise I wouldn't reccomend it.

How crazy. I had the same problem - kept removing and reinserting the jack to no avail. Blew real hard in the jack, and now no problems...

Yeah, same problem here. I am not sure whether this is a ROM related issue or I have hardware problem. I am using Andromeda3.

This seems to be hardware related. The Jacks were not made for constant plugging and unplugging which I am sure alot do. To be honest not real sure why we even still have them.

HELP! 3.5mm headphone jack sensor BROKEN! Won't let me hear phone calls!

So the sensor for my headphone jack is broken and my phone thinks I have headphones jacked in all the time. I need a way to disable the driver or have the phone not care about passing audio through the headphone.
I tried 2 apps form the market but they didn't work. It sounds like I need to put a 0 instead of a 1 somewhere ina script somewhere?
Does anyone have any ideas?

Did you flash an I9000 ROM without a reoriented kernel?

I'm %100 sure it's the 3.5 jack.
Sometimes it will work. And when it does the light sensor which turns the screen off when you put your finger over it will be on.
But when it stops working that is deactivated. This only happens when you actually have headphones in.
It completely stopped working. It will randomly work every once in awhile but it's more broken then not.
I need to really disable the 3.5mm headphone jack.

I have a similar problem, but with a twist...
Phone doesn't recognise any headphones connected to the 3,5mm connector.
Right channel makes barely audible low "dub..dub.." sound and the left is totally silent.
Not sure if these problems relate in any other way then the 3,5mm jack.
Tried different kernels with cyanogen & original roms.

Sorry if this is in the wrong area as far as the phone model is concerned, but search function in xda-app doesn't exactly specify on wich areas the results are.

My headphones needed a bit of force to get them in properly and recognised. I think, maybe they were just not recognised the first couple of time. I'll have another go later, I've only tried once.

If I push to hard, speakers take over. I have to move it for it to play on my earphones. Pretty stuoid . Calling Google today since its my day off.
It has to be just right for it to go through the earphones. Putting it in the jack doesn't cut it because it plays through the speakers. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I WAANT TO WATCH PORN.. LOL

ok is working ,i realize that it need to be pushed all the way in lol.:laugh:
for some reason was not obvious to me, i guess because on my Gnexus don't need to force it that much.

I noticed same thing. So you had to apply more pressure to force it in? I was afraid of breaking the damn thing. I can't get it to recognize any of my headphones but will play out through my lil surround sound system that has a headphone plug. I noticed that the plugs don't seem to go all the way in. I will try to force it in harder..lol.
I need to get some dedicated headphones. Only ones I have are the ones with a built in mic attached. Those won't go in all the way no matter how hard you push. Its likely to break the headphone jack if you keep trying to force them. Ones with mic. attached have 3 rings on the plug. Straight stereo headphones have only 2 rings, which is what I need.

No sound via speakers

Hi all,
Today I found out my speakersound is not working properly.
The external speaker on the back works fine but when I start Walkman and want to play a song there is no sound.
I believe that my phone thinks that the headset is plugged in.
I have tried the following:
- Reflash stock
- Factory reset
- On/off device
It just doesnt work.
Anyone got a solution before I get my bud to a repair centre?

please use service test

Done, there is absolutly no sound. Only when i really plug my earphones in.
Also a funny thing. Normaly when you open FM radio without earphones it ask yo plug them in. But with me there was no popup this tells me that there is a problem with my 3.5mm jack

Hey a friend had the same problem with his HTC phone. he downloaded the app Headphone blocker (or similar) from the play store and that worked. maybe you'll use it temporarily?

tried many times

double delete

oh,ok.. by the way i had the same problem but i just had to plug in the headphone for short and then it worked fine and the problem never came again. or you shut down the phone for a while?

tried it all.
Shut down lay it away for an hour. Plugged earphones in and put it way for a while..
I really dont know what to do..

Also; it is only with "media" files becasue i hear when someone calls me or sent me a text message. Changing volume is something i can hear to. I just need to reset so that it is not in headset mode any more

hm.. okay.. and where exactly comes the problem? only with walkman or also with youtube or instant buttons or something like that? and can you hear something, if you go to dialer and *#*#7378423#*#* then go to service test and loudspeaker?
oops okay saw it too late ^^ these are the same "symptoms" like I had. If you plug in your earphones, the music for examples functions, right? and if you let the music play and you plug them out while letting the music play it stops?

The problem occurs with everything that uses the speaker. For example youtube. There is absolutly no sound unless i use my headphones. The same is for walkman, apollo and many others.
The service tests dont work. Since i cant hear a thing unless i use my headphones

No the music dont stop when i unplug my headphones

Okay.. but it is loudless.. that's quite difficult ^^ if it thinks the headphine is in did you try to kind of clean the headphone jack connection by blowing into it e.g.?

Okay; very very late response but from me.
I've tried a lot of solutions but a very very weird one worked from me. My speakers are functioning again.
What I did.
After the response above I just blowed a bit air in it. I just, yes very weird, licked the 3.5 mm plug that goes inside in the phone and played a song.
When I removed it the Walkman stopped playing. I thought it was me that I pressed a button or something. So I plugged it back in pressed play and after two songs I removed my earphones and yet again, the music stopped.
WOW it worked!
So I pressed play again and Krewella played through my speaker again!!
So, licking it seems to work? :silly:

Probably because of dust between the contacts inside the hole.
Good you got it sorted

[Q] Headphone Jack Not Working!

So I decided to use my headphones today for the first time and the sound is distorted and Google now would automatically start every ten seconds! Anyone else having this issue? I used my headphones on my laptop with no problems. This really blows.

I didn't have this exact problem. I did get the google now thing a lot. And only some times. Like some days it wouldn't happen at all and others it wouldn't stop. I also have been having a problem with if I kneel/bend my body to much it'll shut the music off.

Clear the dust of headphone jack and give it a try and also give it a look that if the headphone is plugged in properly or not. I mean if it's Completely inserted or not

I have a similar problem. When using the headphone jack i just receive sound on one channel, the other one is mute. The only way to receive sound on both channel is to force the headphone plug to the left
