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
Try to reboot the phone

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.

I read it. But i did all of thoes tings.but nothing helped. I did that with the fireware...i changed the erphone thing... but nothing..I have an Idea to clean all the microshems but i'm afrade that after that the phone wont work at all.
Thought I'd share what I've just done! I (rather stupidly) was listening to music while working on my car - the only headphones I had to hand had a big size (6.35mm) headphone jack, so I had an adapter in there too. Al this meant a rather large lever poking out the side of the phone. I'd obviously bent down to do something and wrenched the socket to one side. The 6.35mm adapter had been bent over and broken... and when I tested the phone I found the socket was broken to - only working in one ear
I went on line and found this guide to dismantle the phone! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGD64_g-ssE
Actually nothing to it! Except Even though I do have a very small set of screwdrivers the screws used on the phone are really small!
I bought a new headphone jack from here for £20.08 delivered : http://www.etradesupply.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=lg+p880
And it arrived in the UK in less than a week from the US!
Out of interest the headphone jack can be removed without any of the other circuit board connectors, or the board itself being loosened.
It also houses the proximity and light sensor, I did put it back together and find the proximity sensor was constantly reading 'near' (using the hidden menu 3845#*880# )So I quickly opened it back up again, removed and replaced it one more time. Now it works great, I must have had it badly placed
Well, at least the video was not published in vain
Nice work!

Thanks for decribing this.
I guess I have to replace my jack, too, since it doesnt hold my headphone strong anymore and sometimes the electric connection of the headset mic gets lost.
I have found the jack for about 5$ incl. shipment at DX:

I got the ETrade one. Also I think parts4repair.com sell parts for the p880.
The little arm you can see poking out actually bends and doubles back under the socket part. I found my screen wasn't waking up when I moved the phone away from my face, I just opened my phone back up and padded it out (between the socket and the sensor part) with a little shim (card etc, I actually cut off and used a little piece of a lens cleaning fine cloth) and now the screen wakes perfectly for me! That was my biggest gripe (apart from huuuuge lag when the browser opens!) and i no longer feel I need to ditch the phone!
Don't lose the little square rubber part that the sensor part sits in! And I recommend using a tiny flat-head screwdriver for the phone's screws, the posi-head screws are so tiny I couldn't get a good fit, and it's all too easy to ruin the tiny screw heads.
on/off button doesn't work.
Anybody know how to fix the on/off button. ?
I'm really pissed, I've had the 4x only 6 weeks and don't think I overused it.
button placement and size isn't that great to start with.
I flashed Arararagi vanir 4.3 and it was running great too.
I've never had any problems with the headphone jack, have my phone for about 4 months now

The on/off button? buy a broken 4x?
I took mine apart a few months back to clean the inside of the screen.
Had to send it back to LG as had a few issues regarding call quality and the screen not coming back on when you take it away from your face - Just got it back and they replaced a case and a lense? Not sure what lense though.
It also said Software update - They sent it back with ICS

they probably even permanently locked your bootloader, if it was unlocked your "phone not turning on when moving away from ear" problem was sensor miscalibration that you could've fixed easily.

No. it was new when I bought it.
Had it for 6 weeks before the power button stoped working.
just used it everyday, rooted it, a few roms, then daily use.
i expect something like this from a cheap chinese knockoff, not an LG 4x. i had a star b92m where the screen became unresponsive.
next time I'll get a SONY XPERIA Z.
The 4x has been in the shop for two weeks already. .
OverVoltage on the headphone jack =(
I believe is overvoltage, I connected a plug from my radio for louder music(as I usually do) but wasn't working, and tried moving the connector on the radio and instead of plug in input from radio, I plugged in the output from the radio, a sound came from the radio and that was it, no more sound signal from my P880, I love this phone, I'm so angry about this.
So I checked with earphones and nothing, just noise, no volume up or down, and the headphone mode is turned on all the time, do you now a site where the earphone jack flex can be delivered to South America, Bolivia? and if you have some other suggestions or solutions specially for taking out of headphone mode, I even can't make calls! thank you in advance
The two parts places I have used are I have used are etradesupply and parts4repair. There's probably lots of others out there. Not sure where they ship to though

How to Flash the ROM without entering the custom Recovery ?
I disassembled the mobile and checked if there are any loose connectors but didnt find any.
Please help me
"Fell from 1.5mts height"
AND IT WORKS?!?!?! No broken screen!?? Miracle!!
Best chance is to get a cracked screen/digitizer one on eBay, should cost around $20 or so, and replace the motherboard + camera.

The mobile was having the Silicon Cover so i think it absorbed some force, but some internal parts might have been effected
I dont have any problem with the TOUCH. It works well.
I found no loose connections in the connectors.
Non working things are :
1. Ear phone socket - Does not detect the headset
2. Camera - shows blank screen for a few secs and force closes
3. Proximity Sensor
4. Charging LED
so far i found these issues.
I cant enter the Custom Recovery (4EXT) too.
Please help me.

Sounds like you've damaged quite a bit of it. It may not be the motherboard that's the only problem, and could mean also replacing screen, etc. Unless you're up to that it could be time to let the Nexus One go..

As of now it started to Switch ON. So it is better than not having it at all.
All the above noted issues are still not working

I'm sure some items aren't absolutely necessary such as the charging led, but the earpiece and the proximity sensor could be more the problem. At least it boots - better that than nothing at all

Take a look on eBay - there are some ear pieces available (at least in the UK) and proximity sensors. Then if you follow a video which you will likely find you can manually replace these parts to see if they are the problem
Had the same problem; it can be the ribbon cable which is either loose, or completely disconnected. The bad news is that you'll have to disassemble pretty much the whole phone. We've actually damaged one the of the cables once while trying to do this, so if you try it, be very careful! There is a page online somewhere that tells you which cable it is exactly, just search the symptoms:
1. Camera doesn't work
2. Charger LED doesn't work
3. Proximity sensor always shows "near", as a result -the screen remains black after making a call
UPDATE:
Found the link with the picture of which cable it is:
code.go ogle.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15291
It's a long page, so just scroll down
My Nexus one also has the same issues!
I know that it is coz of the flex cable. the other thing that doesn't work is the camera flash (when you try to use it as a flash light)
luckiely for me the ear phone does work! i am able to use the phone (except for the camera and flash light) for pretty much everything
as i always make/answer the calls using the ear phones, i dont have to worry about the proximity sensor not responding during the calls.
My suggestion would be to try and see if your ear phone is detected or not (may be play a song) and then use it to make some calls.

Unfortunately its not working. I thought i can atleast use for media listening/watching but its not detecting the earphone
there are some dedicated ROMs for usage as Media Players so i thought of it, but no use.
Only possibility will be to use the Bluetooth Headset. (I have Plantronics Backbeat 903+ but my ears pain a lot , doesnt fit will )
If some one can confirm that it is related to the FLEX cable then i can dare to buy it
ques
I had same issues as you.
Basically flex cable is loose and it needs to be attached properly. I have gone to service center and they dis-assembled and corrected it.
Proximity sensor ->camera not working. I can confirm the problem (happen twice to my n1)
@OP: I saw your post regarding NexusOne having booting up on Safe Mode: due to getting wet in rain.
How to resolve it. I am facing safe mode boot up issue. ?

RE: Safe Mode...
I've had this before, all I did was to take my N1 completely apart, until the point where I couldn't see anything else to remove lol!
I then left it to air for the next 48 hours, reassembled and it works!
BUT !
I warn you, if you do this, you MUST make a note of where every piece on your phone goes or you'll regret it at the end!

Hi,
I'm unable to use my microphone on my Phone. When I call someone they can't hear my voice. When I launch the Google Search Mic, it doesn't detect any sound unless I scream or hit the phone, but the gray circle isn't big (meaning its not picking up too much sound). However, when I run the diagnostics tool within settings, I can hear even whispering.
This issue started since a few days ago. I was at a pool party and had the phone in my pocket. All ports were sealed, phone ON. I was recording audio at the time. I went in through the shallow end and I realized I had my phone in my pocket, 5 mins later. My phone was OFF when I pulled it out. When I powered it back ON after getting a towel to dry it, it did some weird sequence ( SONY logo, then picture of a triangle with a wrench and screwdriver inside). I had to hold the Power + Volume up to get out of it. I powered it back on and it booted into the OS, surprisingly. I found there were no problems...except for the mic. I dried my phone and all, no water internally.
Just yesterday I restarted my phone to clear out some RAM. I notice it was doing this weird sequence again, except that time instead of the triangle with a wrench it was a picture of android, progress bar on the bottom. It rebooted again to the OS, nothing's different.
Here's my configuration:
-STOCK 14.1.G.0.534
-C6903
-No Warranty
-Locked bootloader
-No Root, recoveries, and busybox
I flashed everything to defaults using SUS to see if it's a software problem, but that didn't fix it. I factory reset and it didn't work. What can I do to fix this? Is there an app I can download to amplify the mic (or file)?
Using Earbuds fixes the issue. But I don't prefer it attached to my phone all the time.
Flash and Update to the latest Firmware and check is the problem persist, wipe everything. If you do not want the latest FW then Update to JB 4.3 FW .136. It doing crazy so I will recommend to upgrade and wipe all. if then the problem still there and it still go out of software then I will start think about something worse than just a Software problem.

I forgot to mention on my post: When I use Speaker phone the mic works. I turned off the Mic suppression and tried with speaker phone off, but nothing.
I'm upgrading the phone to latest atm, will report back.
Upgrade did not help me.
Isn't there 2 mics on this phone? Maybe 1 of them broke...not sure.
Is this a hardware issue?

I looked at the service manual and saw there are two mics: one on the top at the back of the phone, and one on the bottom inside the speaker. I used Audacity to generate a mid-high range frequency of sound. I connected earbuds to my laptop and put the ends to the mics. The mic on the top back of the phone picks up sound. The mic inside of the speaker doesn't.
EDIT: Started the service menu. Secondary mic is ok, primary mic broken.
I'm convinced this is a Hardware issue. If I send my phone to Sony to service the primary microphone, how much will it cost, minus the inspection fee? Estimates are ok.

Hi there.
I have the s5mini now three days.
The problem is that my friends understand me very very quietly. In the German thread are many Users who have the same problem.
How is that with you?
Is it not possible to adjust something in the service menu ??

you need to clean mic hole by needle or toothpick and problem will be solved
I also had the same problem as in the original post so I came here for complaining.
But after trying the needle suggestion above (cheers to the usasha!!) the problem got fixed!!!!
I was about to return it to be serviced, but now I'm so happy with my S5 mini
I used a thin needle and inserted it carefully for 3-4 millimeters, some lint came out.
We have exactly the same problem!
Bought phone and it went to service 3 times in a row. They've replaced everything from microphone to motherboard, even "cleared the mic hole". So, as you can see, we've replaced everything and it didn't get better.
Service even replied that the phone is working as it should. We bought it at the end of august, used it 4 days,.. other days, it was on service.
@greglord: is your last post some kind of a game with finding differences?
Usually this is with two pictures, so I find it very unique using posts instead.
Back to thread topic - I also used needle and now people hear me more clearly than before so thank you @usasha !!
I've installed sound meter from PLAY on 2 android phones my old Desire S and my new g800f. ive noticed that there is a 30dB difference the old one receiving better sound then the 1 day old g800f. sad!

Those who took this advice can say good bye to the water resistant certificate.
All water resistant phones have bad microphone performance!
That's not entirely true, my friends immediately reported that I sounded loud and clear without asking, when I switched back from my G800F to my Xperia ZR, even without them knowing I switched phones. Maybe the sound isn't as good as a non-water resistant phone but it sure can be a lot better than my G800F.
I just got my phone back from the Samsung repair shop, after almost 2 weeks (!). But I doubt they have done anything to fix it because the screen was as smudged as when I brought it there. IIRC well the screen has to be taken out to replace anything inside the phone, or am I wrong?
How to solve this problem without loosing warranty?
I have SM-G800F with stock Android 4.4.2 updated from Samsung to the latest update I can get. Not rooted.
I have mic problem since I've bought this phone two weeks ago. People talking to me say that my voice is muffled as if I hold the phone too far from my mouth. This happens only using phone mic - if I switch to speakerphone or earphone during the call, everyone can hear me great. So, the problem is with the phone mic as if the mic level is too low .
I've searched all over the web and have realized that this is very common problem with S5 or S5 mini. As a solution, people suggest "cleaning" the mic hole which puncture the waterproof membrane of the phone and you loose warranty.
Another approach that could make progress is by editing default_gain.conf file at root /system/etc/ (more at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2777535) but for that to work you need to have root which also void warranty - correct?
Suggestions like taking out the battery or wiping the cache partition didn't make any improvement for me.
The only hope for me is hint the I've found the post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55192014&postcount=2) on this forums suggesting raising mic level gain setting in phone service menu could solve the problem but there is no explanation how to do it. I've tried to enter the service menu using *#*#0011#*#* and then Menu -> Back -> Menu -> Input Key -> Q -> Menu -> Input Key -> 0000 but service menu doesn't appear like it should.
Any suggestions either on how to enter the service menu or some other way of solving the issue?
I had this phone like 2 days. I unsealed it. It's a nice phone but I recommend don't waste your time with it. Get rid of it you still can
Samsung S5 mini G800 microphone problem solved
Today I had a problem with the G800, the microphone doesn't work when talking about a call, but it works when recording a dictaphone.
I replaced the charging flex, but I didn't solve the problem, the microphone in the call didn't work.
Then I replaced the top microphone on the motherboard, which is used for speakerphone conversations,
and I heated audio IC WM1811GE it with hot air at 320 degrees Celsius for 20 seconds and that's it. Problem solved.
