When I plug a headset into my Android phone to listen to my favourite songs, the sound volume will drop to mid-way automatically. After a couple of minutes or so, it drops to zero and I hear nothing at all. I can press the volume button to raise the sound level but not too soon, it drops to zero again. It is very annoying. I google for the possible solution and it seems there are many complaints about it but there is no good solution except using Tasker as suggested by some users.
I think there should be a simple solution but I just couldn't find it on the web. I have to admit I didn't spend many hours looking for it and hope there is someone who know the answer to this problem. Please advise if you have one. Thanks in advance.
Update your firmware. If you have no firmware updates, or you are already using the latest version of Android (4.4) then perhaps seek a third party ROM.
If this is a known glitch with a specific device, you'll have to wait until the vendor issues a fix. However this won't be as likely if you're using a China-droid.
