Try installing an app called Jays headset Control, the latest version has an option to override the HTC double tap call thing.
Fwiw, I had the exact same problem on the One X and Jays sorted it.
definitely try a different set of earbuds/phones.
EDIT: did you try the buds that came with the phone? how do they behave?
MY FIRST POST
OK that's out of the way, i just got my htc one on tmobile and figured i would use my old beats earbuds with it... except it wont even acknowledge that they're there. They work fine in all my other devices so i was wondering if this issue has come up with anyone else
So I am experiencing a strange problem with my HTC One. When using headphones with my HTC One (I have tried several) I hear strange sounds when the phone is loading a game, skipping a track or any kind of 'thinking'.
I can only describe it as an electric sounding pulse/buzzing. It carries on all the way through game loading, and for a second or two when skipping track.
I tried the same headphones with my friend's One and he said he didnt hear anything unusual.
I'm posting this thread to see if anyone else has heard of this or knows if I have a dodgy phone, or its a software thing. Any advice is appreciated
I don't get you.I tried the same headphones with my friend's One and he said he didnt hear anything unusual.
Welcome to the Forums!! arty:
Have you tried other buds in your One? I can't see why they would and not the Beats buds, so try another set. If they don't work, you can try plugging/unplugging a few times and see if that will clean the jack up some and make better connection. If still no response with any headphones, return phone.
Good luck and keep us posted!
HTC does not own beats, they sold their controlling interest a while ago.
HTC does not manufacture the headphones.
Can't explain why you are having issues, but it's possible the headphone jack may not be properly setup for use on the htc one...
