Headphone Jack stopped working, help?

---

Hi, I just recently got my Hero, and the first thing I did was root it and install a custom ROM. Currently I'm using fresh 1.1 (thank you flips) and everything is pretty much working great, but my headphone jack just stopped working. I was listening to music through my headphones and then got a call and the call didn't come into my headphones. Now, after rebooting, the phone still won't recognize when they are plugged in.
I don't think it's the hardware, because I can hear in the headphones the crackle when I first plug them in. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I came across this once and realized that when you boot the phone with your headphones plugged in, it will not recognize them. I had to reboot the phone and then plug them in when the phone was fully booted. Not sure if that's the same problem you are having but figured I'd throw that out there just in case it was.

+1 on that for me as well. I also just re flashed the rom and it solved the problem as well

It's a common problem with the Hero. Mine does that as well...and it is annoying.

I've had to reboot 2 or three times in a row.

Kept forgetting to unplug the headphones...

Ah you are a gentleman and a scholar! Occam's razor seems to have disappeared from my toolbox. Thanks again! Hope to be able to contribute more on these boards, very nice for my first foray.

I had the same problem when playing pandora through the AUX jack in my car.

I'm curious...is this headphone issue a problem with the Android/HTC software that we have or is there some design flaw with the hardware?

Good question. Maybe I'll nandroid back to my 2.1 update and see if it is still a problem.

I have found that most phones do this, I had the same issue with my blackberry. I think it has something to do with the way phones recognizes hands free setups
