Welcome to Android Central! What device is that?

Does the icon disappear if you unplug the headphones? Also, make sure the headphone jack is completely clean, without any debris.

Thanks for the quick reply


Yes the symbol disappears when i unplug the headphones ... and the headphones work fine with other phones/laptops

The 1st thing i did was clean my port .. It didnt help

Do you know what the symbol means .?

Not reallly sure. It's hard to believe LG or T-Mobile would decide to make that into the "headphones connected" icon, since it's not standard at all.

Go to Settings>Accessibility, and make sure nothing is turned on there. Maybe it's some kind of hearing aid setting.

Thats not the standard headphone connected icon...

The sound is also balanced in settings

Any other guesses .?

I just figured out that thus symbol only comes with the specific headphones i was using (steelseries siberia v2)

The normal earphones are working fine.

Still can someone tell me what that symbol means
