HTC Hero earphones not detected

[Guest bedeiros]

Hi Guys,

So I've had the HTC Hero (Orange UK) for a few months now and thanks to Paul and his custom rom's the phone behaves as it should. However, just recently the earphone jack doesn't seem to be working.  Unfortunately I can't specify a time or place when this feature stopped working, it just did. I've tired it with a number of different earphones including the ones that come with the phone and no luck. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Also does anyone have any suggestions as to what my next move should be?

Cheers

Have you tried to revert back to factory settings or even a reflash? If those things don't fix it I suggest flash to stock and claim warranty.

I've found that if I turn my phone on with headphones plugged in, they are not detected when android is up and running until I unplug and insert again???

Hi bedeiros,

had exactly the same issue -- have gone back to version 2.2 and this solved it. Headphones are detected again.
