I don't get you? You want to plug into the headphone jack, but still get sound through the phone speaker?
Soldato
Does the speaker have an amplifier built in? The fact the phone thinks headphones are plugged in is normal, you're using the headphone socket. It can't tell that you've plugged something else in.
No, I've got a Sony portable speaker at work that does Bluetooth and aux but the BT function doesn't work so I've always connected my phone through the aux port and played my songs through the Sony speaker from my phone.
With this phone though, when aux is plugged in, my phone thinks it's got headphones plugged in and therefore won't play any music through my Sony speaker.
Never had an issue before, I used to use an aux cable from my Sony speaker all the time using my iPhone X, it never once thought I had headphones plugged into the phone.

But that's what confused me. Something is in your headphone jack, it should just play the music through it.
Does it work with actual headphones plugged in?

Have you never used aux before?
Yes it plays fine with headphones in but plugging an aux cable in shouldn't make the phone think headphones are plugged in.
No other phone ever does that.

So, other phones know what is on the end of the headphone jack cable? I'm honestly asking as I don't know how they would do this?
They just work, if I take a 3.5mm auxiliary cable and plug one end into my phone and the other end into a portable speaker, it should play music from my phone through the speaker it's connected to.
Honestly I don't know why it's so hard to understand? Take any flagship phone and use it to play music through auxiliary and it won't think it's got headphones plugged in, I know because I've done it with all of my phones, for some reason this Chinese phone thinks headphones are plugged in.
Soldato
Yeah, I'm just surprised other phones know the difference, that's my point and my confusion. I would have thought a jack was a jack, how would they know what was at the other end?

is it normal to have order processing after 4 days of making the order?

Yes, they took 3 days for mine to process.
Yes, tracking doesn't update until it hits the UK.
There is a strong typhoon in Asia at the moment so orders will likely to be delayed.

I think my tracking updated quite quick (through their site) but didn't really have any detail until it got with PDP over here.
