Hi All,
I am using a LG P970 and since yesterday it is showing a headset sign on the screen whereas there is no headset connected on the phone due to which I am not able to use the phone without the headset. I have never used a headset on this phone wondering what is happening.
Also, as soon as i connect a headset it starts playing the music. However it works fine on Bluetooth which I use often.
Any ideas on how can i get rid of this sign and use my phone normally.
Please help.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick response. Already rebooted my phone a few times. Removed the battery also but same problem.
Just did a factory reset of the phone also but the problem did not get rectifed.
This happened in my LG GT540, i used to plug in a headset and unplug it and that would work, after a while it came back, then i sprayed some WD40 on the tip of the headset plug, and pluged into the phone and fixed it... for a while
If your phone still in warranty, just take it to LG
Hope it helps
Happened to me after my son spewed water on the phone. A good cleaning with a table napkin and inserting/removing the earphone did the trick.
There might be something that's causing the plug to think there's something in it. If you're lucky a bit of cleaning is all that's needed.
It also happened to me after a big rain. There is water or some metallic debris in the connector. Blow it really well, or use a dryer on a very low or even cold setting. if there is water it could cause a short so be careful!
Happened to me too, cuz a friend accidentaly splashed a beer on it ! for me the headset icon apparead everytime i approched the hand near the proximity sensors...so i couldnt call anymore. Send it to assistance!
Just air you might have something shorting out the connector in the phone

Thanks everyone. When I cleaned the headset jack on the phone with air and some clips (after I powered off the phone) it worked. But unfortunately, I had already done a factory reset of the phone prior to doing all this as I was not able to use my phone.
Thanks again.

Having an issue with my diamond. It wont find my headphones when i connect them, it also wont find my PC. No activesync, no nothing
The strange part is it will charge as normal... so if its usb related or software related i have no idea.
Any help is appreciated
there is a known problem with other HTC models that is not really a fault with the phone, but with the operation.
i had a Artemis, which had the same problems as you are describing. After a lot of research, it turned out to be that when i charged the phone in the car, a power spike was causing the USB board in the phone to be damaged. this usually occures when starting the car.
It can be fixed under warrenty.
since then i always start the car first then plug my phone in
Hope this helps.
thats strange...never connected it in a car before... ahwell... just have to send it in then...damn it..
I know it souns silly, try blowing hard into the port, I sometimes pick up a lot of dust etc from jeans pockets this can cause obstuction to headphones etc
hmmm btw... i have a cooked rom on it... any idea if this will affect my warranty?

Hi, often i keep headphones in my xperia x1
This way i will hear through the headphones, and talk into the phone as it is in speaker phone mode.
The other day i noticed when i took the headphone out i could no longer use the phone.
I was forced to use headphones plugged in when using the phone.
TODAY, the mic does not seem to work. I can hear people on the line through the headphones, but they cannot hear me.
I reinstalled roms, and hard reset with no solution.
What is going on here? how could litteraly everything have failed on the phone immediatly?
The only time it makes ANY noise, is when the phone finishes starting up after windows loads. with a little (ta da, ta da)
thats it
i cannot make it make any other sound.
also the (speaker phone) option on the phone is now faided out.
and it is not possible to click on it.
The phone (RINGS) if you call it
It makes the noise as the end of the start up.
I cannot get it to make ANY sound myself, It just seems stuck in headphone mode
Take your stylus and wiggle it around in the headphone jack, that can fix it. It's happened to mine a couple times.
Yip, as above. Or continually put in and take out your headphones in a forceful manner - that's how I fix mine when it occasionally happens.
Send it back!! I had this happen, 2 weeks later they sent a new one as it could not be fixed.
Same. take it back
The environment
i had the same problem befor in my x1 and i did do the stylus way and it did worked at the beggining but after awhile the stylus way coulddent help anymore and the phone was no longer working without headset so i toke it to my axiom phone agent and they coulddent fix it so all they did its they change the motherboard of my x1 but after awhile the same problem came back but i try to go after the reson for it to keep happening and i came to know that the main reson for this problem its the wather! changing wather or environment its the reson for it to keep happening for i.g let as say u are in a cold room now and then u had to outside and the wather was hot or humid weather some little water brops will be created inside ur 3.5mm jack because of the humid that will keep the little metal parts attached to each other even if u already remove the headset that will give a sine to your phone that says the headset still inside the phone even if you already remove it,and the only way to fix it try to blow dry air throu your 3.5mm jack and make it dry inside ,but dont keep doing the stylus way because it would damage the jack metal parts and may cause a hardware failer
my advice its try not to keep the phone very cold or in a cold place for a long time and if u ever had to go outside and it was humid weather try not to keep ur phone in your hands first when u are out keep it in your poket for a while let it wram up a little and then use it
So just two days ago one morning i woke up unplugged my note from the wall charger and i noticed the charging symbol didnt go away. so i plugged it back in and took it out and it was still there i even reset it i rebooted it and it still showed it was charging somehow. After a cuple or reboots everything went back to normal. i ignored the problem now today two days later the note starts vibrating out of no were multiple times like crazy. It acts like if i was plugging the charger in and out of it one second it shows its charging next second its back to normal. It keeps doing this back and forths its bein 10mins now and its still vibrating. The only way to make it stop is to actually have it plugged into the wall. Oh by the way im running rocket rom v20 & abyass kernel 3.4 on it any suggestions? I allready called samsung they just said sorry they couldnt do anything about it

If nothing else works try a factory reset *2767*3855#, backup your files first and remove the sd card before doing that. I hope it returns to normal than.
Good luck
I think it was software related because i did a nandroid back up to my original stock rom and everything is fine now ive unpluged it and plugged it back in like 20 times now also rebooted it and it has not showed up again

Jesus and all saints bless you. Congrats!
Sorry to break your happy bubble, its not a software problem but rather a hardware defect in the usb port of the note. I have this problem and so do many others. This problem was also noted in many galaxy s2 phones. You can do all the resets or flash stock roms but the problem can come back at any time. My theory is the custom cover for the galaxy note. Mine has a small opening for the usb port so when I would push in my usb cable, it would settle in at a slight angle. this caused my usb cable connector to bent in a slight angle and hence, causing the pins inside the phone to also bend in the same angle. the dirt inside the usb pins can also cause the issue but I cleaned mine with alcohol and nail polish remover. My problem still exists. Then I tried the push the pins down towards the back of the phone and, again, no positive results. Now when I disconnect my usb cable, I push it down a bit and then slowly disconnect it from my phone. this is working fine for me so far. As soon as the usb part becomes available on ebay, I am buying it and installing it inside my note.
By the way, there are a few threads on this issue already.
good luck.

this happened a few hours ago and i've been runining around to find a solution.
i was going through my day enjoying my music on the SGT through my headphones. and suddenly, connected the headphones, and BAM sound is coming out to the left headphone ONLY. i know about pushing the jack all the way in.done that with 3 different headphones..nothing!!!i have overcome 4.1 on my SGT. tried installing the rom again, played around voodoo sound a bit..nothing.and here i am helpless and depressed!! if anyone please give me a hint on what to do !! and again..this happened out of no where all of a sudden!!
Sounds like a hardware issue. Maybe lost the physical connection for the contact to the right headphone, would have to re-solder if possible. Then again, this requires physically opening up your tab and checking everything going to the headphone jack. I advise against opening it if you don't know what you're doing.

damn. didnt want to hear that...but could this happen suddenly ? i mean the tab wasnt exposed to anything that would cause the jack to disconnect.no shocks no falls no water nothing !!
anything can go wrong at any time with electronics...sometimes it just happens. I've seen it working with computers for over 10 years. Something fails for no apparent reason and it can't be explained.
EDIT:
It's a long shot, but try taking out the battery for a few mins, then putting it back in. It's worked for weird glitches I've had on my phone...
Have you try another ear phone set?

Hi all,
I am having strange problems with my Galaxy Note since yesterday.
Switches to MTP automatically without connecting to PC.
Shows that it is plugged into charger and starts charging, without really plugging it to the charger.
Scans sd-card for files
Automatically turns on the screen and when I press power button it powers off completely. Still the phone keeps heating at back.
One time the phone froze and I had to remove the battery.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance.
Please note that I have unrooted and stocked phone.
I found a similar post for S2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161875).
Thanks in advance.
Your usb port has probably got some dirt in it. You can try using nail polish and something like a toothbrush To clean it. I did this, but it only worked temporarily for me. I had to send it in after that and they fixed it, covered by my warranty. Good luck!

Thanks. Don't you think nail polish remover may harm the internals.
Just let it dry for at least 20 minutes before you use it afterwards. And if you are worried. Then don't use too much of it If you search the forum for car mode/voice/usb issues, you will see alot of people have the same problem. And the brushing helped for alot of them. I am no expert though. So search around abit and see what you find!

Had the same issue a couple weeks ago. Read this thread, most likely
the same issue.

Guys if cleaning the usb port aint working then we have to find other ways to indirectly stop problems.
Problem: Driving Mode goes on/off automatically, causing battery drain
Reason: Phone thinks its connected to a dock
Solution:When phone thinks its connected to a dock, it switches to car mode. This is a default action. What if we are able to disable this default action, so even if the phone thinks its connected to a car, it wont switch driving mode on! There are 2 ways to achieve this.
1.Someone please explain how to disable the inbuilt driving mode in galaxy phones.
2.Another app, which overrides the inbuilt one, which can be disabled temporarily!
Problem:Battery not charging
Reason:Crazy USB port and ****ty samsung parts
Solution: External Charger!(Optional: +1 Battery)
Keep thinking of ways to overcome this guys, unfortunately the phones that face this problem are very expensive(S2,Note,Nexus etc.)
