Hardware problem or? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi community.
Yesterday a problem occured on my phone.As i plugged my earphones into the headphone jack i noticed that i could hear only the right one,while the left's volume was very low.I have tried with other pairs of earphones,but the problem remains the same.I'm asking if this is a hardware problem,because when i plug my speakers i can't see any problem.And yes,i did put the earphones to the jack all the way down,but it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance

Query regarding headphone jack and audio output

Hello everyone.
I have a wierd issue and I have no clue if its hardware or software related. The problem is when I plug my earphones in (Sennheiser CX215), the audio and all the sounds comes out through the external speaker instead of the earphone. It doesnt always happen, sometimes the earphones would work without any hiccup, no crackling or bad sound.
I checked the jack for any loose connections and found none.
However I must add that rebooting the phone solves the sound problem whenever it occurs. So I must be guessing its a software bug (right??)
Anyways, I wanna know if anybody is having any audio or headphone jack problems ??
EDIT: And yes, I plugged the earphones all the way in. And the bootloader is unlocked without any rooting. Im currently using ''sound about'' app to divert the audio to earphones. A tad annoying
Using CX-180 with Moto G 2014, working absolutely fine. No issues here. Sound is clear and loud.
Did you test other headphones? Do a factory reset and try again.
The audio is clear and without any distortion when it works. The issue is all the sounds and i mean all the sounds comes out through the external speakers even when earphones are plugged in. I think the OS fails to recognize if the earphones are plugged in.
And another problem is that I have no other earphones xD.
Let me try a factory reset and then Ill report back. *sigh* all my data down the drain

I had the exact same problem with the headphones I use with my PC. But I tried a friends Sony headphone and it worked. So, it does look like the OS fails to recognize some particular headphones.
The same happened with me while using xiaomi piston 2 headphones....but it happens once in 10 times....so not an issue!
I think i should ask company for replacement... Its a hardware issue according to me... And bundled headphones work fine but are of pathetic quality

This sounds similar to the problem I had, im not sure if it was moisture damage or if the headphone jack is damaged. Do headphones play sound okay? If so its probably doing what mine did where it doesnt detect the headphones being removed and thinks they are still plugged in. My problem sorted itself out, I just happened to be using a aux cable for a car stereo and after unplugging, the speakers magically started outputting again.

Having the same issue, it's the headphone jack. I temp fixed it by constantly plugging my headphones in and out but it comes back after a while

Ive found the headphone jack on a few websites which sell parts for our SP, would replacing the jack solve the issue do you think? The part is small and uses a clip in ribbon cable so I don't think it would be too difficult to do. Before my issue fixed itself, I was considering buying the jack and attempting to replace it, I just wasn't sure if that would actually fix the issue.

Dodgy headphone port

Is anyone else finding that they'll plug in headphones and the handset isn't recognising that there's something plugged in?

No, never happened
Nope.
I have the same problem. Some headphones work fine and others don't. I found that an app called SoundAbout can fix this. It can force the audio into the headphones even if the system doesn't recognize the headphones. Seems that this is a software problem.
I'm still having the problem that some headphones just won't stay plugged and come off easily. Wonder if the problem is the actual headphone socket?

I had the same problem with the standard headphones, every other headphone worked, i actually find a method is pretty stupid but you have to put some saliva on the jack and twist it in the headphone jack so it makes contact, obviously now i changed headphones.

This just started happening to me this week. My Mate 9 was bought in February. I was about to do a full reset but I'll try SoundAbout and the saliva trick and post an update later.
UPDATE: SoundAbout fixed it for me. This leads me to believe the phone needs a reset as it doesn't appear to be a hardware issue.

Xperia SP sound problem!

Recently I encountered a problem in my Xperia SP.
There is a headphone icon shown in the status bar but I didn't connect any headphones and the speakers don't work too :crying:
Is this a hardware problem or a software problem? What is the solution?

It's a common problem with XSP headphone's socket, and to solve this simply play any sound file then keep plug and unplug the headphone jack till you hear sound from the loud speaker.

It works but it again occurs after plugging and unplugging the headphone or when I restart my phone.

Seems like a software issue. Try this app SoundAbout from google store. For me i wasnt getting any sound from earpiece and from back speaker as well. But while playing with the sound settings, i got the sound working on m back speaker. And with a little bit of searching on the net, i found a post where it mentioned to use to check the sound getting redirected to speaker or the earpiece. I checked with the app, and now i can hear from the earpiece as well as from speaker. May be the software or the firmware is corrupted. One of my friend works in the sony center and he told me that first they check it with xperia companion repair option. Else they use different software to erase all and reinstall like the factory. I dont know if it is true but thats why they charge hefty. Anyways try the app SoundAbout, and mess me if it works.

FINALLY!!!!
I could hear the music from my speaker. Thanks a lot. Still, it was showing headset icon in the status bar but no worries now I can change the source from within the app. Thanks for saving me some bucks! :good:
I think there is some problem in our headphone jack bcoz I did a factory reset and changed the ROM twice but still the problem persists. It must be some hardware defect in the jack.

Well actually there is a problem with the headset jack but hey atleast the earpiece is working :good::laugh: and speaker too. It's quite a hassle to change the setting now on then, but I hope it's OK with you
