[Q] Headphone Jack Problem - Sprint HTC One (M7)

When I plug my headphones into the headphone jack, my phone goes berzerk. A track will be playing and then randomly switches, forwards to next track, etc and my dialer will pop up and start dialing random numbers (or maybe the last number I dialed) without me even touching the screen. If my phone is locked, the emergency dialer will pop up. It's like it has a mind of its own.
Anyone have any idea of what's going on? Maybe it's shorted somewhere?

Download headset blocker from the Play Store. That should fix your problem.

This happens to me on a cheap 3.5mm to 3.5mm cord I have. I should be just the cord your using and it won't happen with every set of headphones. I actually use the cord on my iPad and it works fine for it l...

I'm using the HTC headphones that come packaged with the phone. In fact, I've been going through replacement phones (because of the build quality) and my first phone didn't have this issue with the same exact headphones. I decided to switch out the htc headphones from a different box and my phone still goes crazy. I want to say it's a defective headphone jack just because of that.

Mine did this also, it's the button on the headphones. It's extremely sensitive. I was cutting grass and it began switching songs quickly. Got my wife's headphones and it quit.

[Q] Verizon Car Charger noise

Is anyone else getting a lot of background buzzing noise when playing music while charging with the Verizon car charger?
It's horrible on my Bionic.
It's so loud that I cannot charge the device if I want to listen to music, a podcast, or use navigation.
Fortunately, using a generic usb lighter plug and usb cable produces much much less buzzing.
Do I have a defective car charger?
Yeah I have the same problem with my charger and using my bionic for sound. It is terrible.
Ive experienced the same issue with the cheap car charger. I was blaming my cheapo car charger as well....
So its the BIONIC thats effing it up....
Turn off 4G.
I noticed this a lot on my HTC Droid Incredible, but have not had the issue with my Bionic, even while connected to 4G.
I'll try that

Thanks.
I will try that on the ride home from work tonight.
It kind of cripples the functionality of the phone though.
I can tell you that I have a headunitless install (phone plugged into amp) in my car with google music being my only source of music and I have zero issue with unwanted noise.

FYI: I turned off the 4g and plugged in the Verizon car charger. It went from very loud noise to just loud noise.

This thread is about using the Verizon car charger. I am not sure why you posted this here.
I've had this problem with every phone lol its the car charger, almost makes me feel like I have turbo cause it gets higher pitch the harder I push the gas pedal

Update: i exchanged the verizon car charger at the Verizon store. This charger works fine. It does not cause the bionic to make noise at all. The buzzing is gone.

I use a Motorola OEM charger I got from amazon and it has no noise

I assume you that are experiencing noise are connecting from the headphone jack to your stereo. If the charger or stereo input is not properly designed this will cause a ground loop and you will get noise.

I think you'll find that is alternator whine getting into the electrical system. A filter should clean that up. The problem is something radio amatuers have to deal with all the time. No big deal to install.
I have the same issue with my phones and my iPod to the AUX In on both my Saab 9-3...
I had used an older version of -> http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062214 in line with the 1/8" stereo cable to get rid of it...
When mom gave me their GMC Terrain, I had to get one for it too. The Radio Shack guy looked at me like I was nuts when I asked for it, asked why I needed it, I explained, he said "that wont work"... well, he's wrong
This is the one you want:

Cleared everything up in my Mazda beautifully.
I've had zero noise issues with my OG Droid car charger, but I'm keeping the new one that came w/ the Costco bundle (also a Motorola branded charger) handy in case the old unit dies after 2+ years

Headphone jack problem

When ever I plug in any L-shaped headphone jack I have to push it in really hard for it to work and any jostling will disconnect it. It works with I-shaped ones ( I'm assuming ) because the stock headphones that came with this phone are I-shaped. What headphones do work for this phone and what doesn't and more importantly, is there any way to fix this?

That sucks but I think its the L- shaped jacks because I just went out and bought the klipsch s4a II which sounds amazing and best of all it has an I- shaped jack and it works fine

My One heating up while using car dock

So am rocking my One and really enjoying everybit of it. I got my official car dock and set it up, but 20 mins into connecting my One, it becomes really hot am scared it will explode. I even repositioned the dock inline with my airconditioner vent but it still heats, when I use the device without the dock all is well with my BT hands-free. Has anyone experience this or is it just my device?

probably the car charger outputs more power than what is needed causing overheating i would try with another car to see if that happens again
Didn't think of that, will try it out.

I just got my HTC D160 Car Dock yesterday and a similar issue. First off, I was running ARHD 7.3 and Bulletproof 1.7 kernel at the time. I drive a Ford Fusion and am plugging into the same AC port that I used with my HOX. I just wanted to set the stage. Anyway while having the phone docked in car mode I was running TomTom. From time to time I was switching over to a messaging program to send a few messages. After about a half hour I noticed my LED light was flashing red. I continued using my GPS app but stopped messaging. Soon the light went back to a solid charging red light. When I removed my phone it wasn't hot to the touch but I'll keep an eye on it though. At this point I'm not really worried plus I shouldn't be messaging while sitting at a light with my phone in dock anyway :silly:

Phone does not register headphones being plugged in?

My HTC One doesn't register that a my solo hd's have been plugged in with the L shape jack, if I use the opposite side of the wire it works but is extremely distorted. Any ideas?
The headphones and the wire work fine on a tablet and 3 other phones I have tried it on.
There's no visible switch in the connector (for headphone detection) which means that headphones are probably detected based on their impedance...
Solo HD's have impedance 45Ohms which is a little high but nothing dramatic, so my guess would be a lose contact - try your HDs on another HTC One and/or different connection cable...
I had this happen to me but with any pair of headphones I plugged in. Sound would still come from the speakers. How I fixed it was to toggle beats off then back on and then plug in the headset. I don't know if your issue is the same but that's what did it for me

And that didn't work but thanks for the suggestion. The weird thing is that using a standard 3.5mm jack wire which I bought cheap on eBay works fine with the headphones but the monster one doesn't?
And other headphones work fine? The big one is if it's the phone or the headphones...
Yup I've tried five other pairs of earphones and they all work fine.
I've tried a pair on ibeats, generic Philips ones, the stock HTC one earphones, stock iPhone earphones and also some seinnheisers. All work flawlessly.
...but the beats work fine with other music sources?

You mean on other phones? Yeah they do, I tried them on two iPhones, a nexus 7 and also my laptop. In fact I'm using them now on my laptop and they are working, it's really strange lol
yeah it is....beats me (no pun intended). Do you have an extension cord for headphones or splitter? Just to try out that it isn't a lose contact between the phone and headphones...

I have every cable but that haha. I had the same thought so just bought an adapter and hopefully that should work!

Earphone adapter with controls?

I'm looking to purchase some Sennheiser earphones for my S7 but don't want to limit myself to the ones with the phone control (play/pause/volume buttons) on them.
Does anyone know where (i'm in the UK) I can get an adapter with just the controls in that I can then plug any earphones into? Preferably Amazon. I've had a look but cannot find any.
Dunno about wired but I got one of these MPOW thingies so that I could listen to music off my phone when exercising, using cheap replacable headphones. I put the MPOW in a ziplock baggie to protect it from sweat and everything works very well.
I've used the MPOW for up to 5 hours continuously and not run the battery dead, no clue how long it really lasts.

What about this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00X7W89UG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1457706226&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=samsung+bluetooth+adapter&dpPl=1&dpID=41T-5KLkuxL&ref=plSrch
It should give you the controls and some more mobility

Get Android version and work great with Android phones and I have foam buds at the end of mine for more detailed sound.

Thanks. But I'm just looking for the earphone adapter. Not bluetooth it earphones with controls.
Thanks anyway.
Ah, sorry I have the ear buds with controls which work with any Android phone I have tested using samsung and nexus 6p.
Mine are wired, I think this is the best you will find as it took me a while waiting for these to be released.
Thanks
