Default Sound only works with headphones

Hey,

i have a huge Problem. Somehow the sound of my phone kind of only works with headphones.
Sometimes the rear speaker will give sounds but generally the windows media player never works with the speaker.
Strangely though the alarm works with the speaker. But when i get a phone call, the microphone and the front and rear speaker dont work. if i plugin the earphones it works fine, but as soon as i pull them out it doesent work anymore...

ive tried using different roms but it just wont work.
I have the feeling my system thinks the headphones are plugged in all the time and doesent recognise, when they get pulled out.

Anyone got an idea?

Let's ask firstlly if that is a hardware or a soft issus ???

And i suppose that is a hardware problem !

in the other hand, i disassembled my Qtek looot's of times and i didn't find any dammaged thing wich corresponds to the sound !!!

any way that was just my oppinion !

waiting for experienced users to help...

Default Sound problem fix

I had the same problem. Easy fix. Blow in the earphone hole a few times.
It worked for me. Guess there was dirt inside.

you have to open your device like what i did.

But be carefull.

if don't know how to open your device, i advice you to not to do it.

ask an experienced hands to heal your Prophet

after opening your device, look at the jack, you will see it covered, its actually covered by a lil plastic cover that you can pop off with a small screw driver. the jack will be like this

when you unplug the earphones, the metal parts shown in the red circle on the photo must be connected.

when you put in the earphones the metal parts must be disconnected.

that's all

Good luck.

...I think it's not secessary at all....... I had the same problem and I did:


(DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK!!!)

1st. Put a .mp3 song using your mp3 player (for example tcpmp or windows media player)

2nd. Insert your 2.5mm headphone jack one time, two times, three times...and revove it doing a little angle..(similar to lever)

3rd. If you can't make your speaker sing, try to insert a different item through the speakers hole (be careful!!!)

I repaired it and I never had the same problem!!!

Default Sound Problem

I had the same problem as you. As " specter16" said, the problem is the hardware inside the 2.5mm jack. After plugging in the headfones in and out a few times the problem occured and i had to open my device again. I never found a real solution, and so I started to use Bluetooth-Headphones (iTech Blueband)

I use them now for about 2 years....

Maybe anyone of you will try them^^
