[Q] headphone no sound when plugged in all the way

It seems that my galaxy tab's 3.5mm headphone jack will not work when plugged in all the way. if I leave may be 2-3mm out then it will work. Does anyone has similar problem?

Thats usually a sign of a worn out/damaged/dirty jack (or plug). That can easily happen if you plug in/out headphones a lot, or even if the headphone jack gets banged around while plugged in.
Never had any probs with mine in almost a year.
I'd make sure its not the headphones by trying a different pair first. If its not the headphones, then you could try cleaning the jack - or sending it to Samsung for repair (should still be under warranty)

[Q] Mic muted when audio jack in use

Anyone else noticed that the mic is muted whenever you plug something in the audio jack? This means if you are plugging your phone to the aux port in your car, you can't make/receive calls unless you unplug it. On the focus it worked fine. You can test it by starting a call, then plugging anything to the jack - mic is muted right away. Couldn't find any settings to override this either.

I don't have that issue. I plug my phone into the aux port all the time and it works fine.

Yep

I have the same issue. Was great to have a conversation while plugged into the car audio with the Focus. Now we're limited to the speakerphone, which just isn't loud enough to be useful. Maybe when the Diagnostics app gets mapped out better we'll find a setting...
Probably gonna buy a cheap headset, cut off the ear buds and splice the wires to a cable with a 3.5mm jack.

It would make sense for the internal mic to be shut off when a headset cable is plugged in, since the working assumption (I guess) would be that there is a mic on the headset taking over. It's most likely a 'mechanical' shutoff in the jack itself, with no 'checking' to actually see if there is a mic connected on the cable or not.

The issue is, the old focus, the Titan, and about all other cell phones don't do this. They allow the internal mic to work while using the 3.5mm jack.

what is wrong with Motorola's headphone jack??

I previously had a droid ultra and it had thr same problem. Im using bose headphones and for some reason they headphones dont plug in all the way. I know the headphones work properly because i use them on my computer and tablet. Do i need to be using a specific headphone jack size. I figured the size the bose headphones came with would be fine. Anyone else having this problem??

Do you mean the plug sticks out above the chassis, or when you plug them in, sound still comes through the speaker and not headphones?
When I plug my Yurbuds into my Moto X there is a very small portion of the gold plug still showing. I think the port is just shallow, but the headphones work fine.

I've had the same issue. I opt not to use it. Bluetooth ftw.

They just don't have as much extra material around it to cover the whole thing. It is a result of the curved edge the jack is on. Works just fine, though, and produces some decent enough sound for a phone.

Yeah my earbuds' jack sticks out a little bit, but the sound itself is okay. Never had an issue with my jack yet.

Make sure there is not lint in the jack. That can cause sound/fitment issues.

Pretty sure everybody else covered it, but mine works fine as well. I do find that you have to give the 3.5mm plug a little extra "push" at the end but I am rewarded with a satisfying "click" once it is all the way in. A portion of the plug still shows from the back, but this is irrelevant as the only connections that need to be made are further down anyway. I have used it with both headphones, and the AUX cable in my car (with a VERY expensive subwoofer and sound system) and have found that the sound quality puts my Droid Bionic (even with DSP manager) to shame.

Headphones - only 1 side working

I have 2 z3c's. The first one (black) has a broken magnetic charging port. Everything else is perfect.
Because I hate the USB charging flaps, I bought a 2nd z3c second-hand. It worked fine for a few weeks, now when I plug in headphones it only plays from one side (whether it's music or in-call). The stereo speakers work fine when no headphones are in.
Have tried multiple headphones, all the same issue. Assume it's an audio jack problem - any ideas?

Looks like audio jack problem by your description.
The contacts are visible inside with direct light pointed into the jack, you can check what's wrong visually. Might be just a bent contact, and precise work with sewing needle might cure it. Might be something broken, and then no good suggestions besides using BT headphones. Or, if you have good headphones and just want a BT adapter, maybe something like this.

headphone issue - no sound at all

Hi, I had an 4GB Alpha for a week but have just sold it today (I realized I still prefer my Xiaomi Max). The guy who bought it contacted me after a couple of hours because he can't get any sound out of the headphone socket. He tried it with several headphones which work without issues with other phones (as far as I understand he tested it with Samsung and Sony headphones) and I have no idea what setting to change (he tried the volume buttons trust me) - any ideas how to make the headphone socket work? I had no idea about this issue as I don't use wired headphones at all. Btw the phone detects the headphones as the headphone icon is displayed when a headphone is connected.

Mine work just fine. received the phone the week before Xmas and it got 2 updates since then. Tried with Samsung, AKG (both in hear) and JVC headsets and had no problems whatsoever. Maybe you/he can solve the problem with this last system update via OTA or could be a hardware failure. In my Samsung A5 2017 only the Samsung headphones would work because the jack was a tad longer than the AKG's. The latter would spring back after being inserted and only one channel would work.

pause for effect
I have found that inserting the jack but pausing before pushing in for the "click" allows the phone to detect the headphones. Logo shows in the status bar. I don't even think about it anymore when I do it. Not ideal but workable. I use an old pair of Samsung earbuds.
Hope it helps
