(q) headphone settings - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just flashed 1.5.20 of miui today.
My headphone icon still comes up on the notification bar, when the headphones arent in. So pretty much im having trouble listening to my music out of my speakers, and when i want to listen to them with my headphones. Dont know if im supposed to wipe something in recovery, Just give me a reply back. thanks.

1. Don't double post 2 threads isn't appropriate.
2. Flash to stock if you still have the problem it's hardware related and get a warranty replacement.
if it goes away just avoid that rom I s'pose.

okay, so far ive been talking on the phone with headphones plugged in so i can at least hear from the speaker. The rom is miui, its been really buggy with my phone, probably because its still beta.

[Q] sms/call notification sounds from speaker with earphones plugged in

this is my first post. I tried looking for an answer to this without having to post a thread, but I failed... so i'm wondering if anyone can help.
the problem is just as the title suggests. I didn't realize this using stock 2.1, cognition 3.01 but after flashing to cognition 4.1 I realized my sms/call notifications come through both speaker and earphones when earphone is plugged in.
has it always been this way for the captivate? I could've sworn I didn't realize this while using cognition 3.01. I thought the notification sounds were only coming from the earphone when it's plugged in. I mean it makes sense right? if you're in the library listening to music on the captivate you expect it to ring notification ringtones through the earphone not the speaker.
thinking it was fine on stock 2.1, i went back and flashed back to stock and realized it did the same thing.
so yea my question is
1. is this the normal settings on the captivate/android?
2. is there a fix around this problem? (without having to set the phone to silent/vibrate while listening to music)
Yeah, I have the same problem with most of the ROMs here. Not sure if it's the same with the stock, but it does seem like a standard setting.
My only suggestion is to leave it on silent if you don't need it going off... It is a bit of a nuisance though!
it really is annoying. I could've sworn either 2.1update-1 or cog 3.01 didn't do this. i did find out some people prefer this setting for some reason. sigh.
Ok so I have the same problem. I was looking for a solution and was about to post a thread until I found this one. Like it was previously mentioned, I would like my notifications/ringtone go thru my earphones ONLY if I was to be in a library for example... Any suggestions...?

[Q] Headphones/Speaker not functioning properly

So I have been trying many of the latest Gingerbread roms as I had been with Froyo and Eclair. Recently, I went from Cog5v1 over to a CM7/MIUI rom and noticed that the headphone icon was always in the notification bar and I had no sound from the speakers. The internal speaker seemed to work properly, as I could hear ringtones, notifications, volume rocker, etc...but no system sounds, music and such. Also, when I receive a call, i cannot hear anything until i hit the spekerphone button and then the speaker works. Additionally, while on MIUI, I switched kernals and the problem inverted, meaning the speaker worked as it should but I had no headphone response at all. Since this problem occurred, I have flashed back to stock, master cleared, flashed froyo, flashed stock GB, and many others always flashing to stock in between. Now with every rom I flash I have the constant "headphone on" problem. Others have suggested hardware, but the speaker does work (speakerphone and when I change kernals and invert the problem), so im thinking it is more likely software, firmware, or bootloader related.
Has anyone experienced something like this before or could suggest something to try to fix the problem? I use headphones for music and audiobooks everyday, but if the phone cannot handle regular phonecalls, its pretty much useless to me.
First, Bootloaders and firmware ARE software listing them separately is just redundant.
just because the speaker works does not mean it's not hardware related. Sounds like an issue in the headphone jack. Try and spray it out with some air duster perhaps?

Maybe there is some trouble with your Headphone input detection. Have you tried to use a headphone with it? Do you have sound then?
Thanks for the answer!
Yes, when i put my headphones in, i can hear the voice of the "caller" and i can hear music....but when i put the headphones out again, i cant hear him.
So i thought, perhaps my phone thinks that there are always my headphones plugged in.... but my music player plays sound through the speakers....strange?!
whats going on?! is there a different phone.apk i could try? but i flashed many FW and nothing solved the problem...
or does an app exist here i can test my external ear speaker?!
I vaguely remember a CM7 issue wherein you had to toggle mute to trigger the voice to work on calls. I'm sure your problem is different, since it's happening across multitple firmwares, but it's food for thought.
I would have also assumed your phone was thinking headphones were plugged in when they weren't. But if music plays through the rear speaker just fine, this must not be the case.
Whatever it is, good luck!
Does nobody know a method or a app with what i can test my "Earspeaker" ?
I have the same issue with my i9000M and have been unable to determine the cause. There must be a way to completely wipe the phone and restore a stock ROM in order to reset whatever setting controls handset speaker volume.
psss... noone is looking??? it is top secter Samsung's procedure, do not share:
1. factory wipe
2. flash stock firmware
3. factory wipe
I've got this exact issue.. proximity sensor is also broken and locks up the phone. I disabled it with a patch - but my earpiece is non-functional on stock.
Ideas? Hardware defect?
[Sorry to bump.]

Please help, sound not working with headphones

So, here's the deal,
The sound works fine when using the speakers, but, when I plug in ANY headphones, while it does recognize them, the sound is so low that, even in a completely silent room I can barely hear anything.
The volume is at Max, I have cleaned the headphone jack many times.
Important information : I started when I flashed a cutom rom. I thought it maybe was a software problem, so I restore the stock rom, but the problem persist.
Please help me guys, Music is my life haha
Thanks in advance!
sounds like a break in the connection of the port...
no easy fix unfortunately, are you sure there isnt anything, lint or anything, maybe jammed down in there?

Phone is not outputting through speakers anymore?

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.
