More recently the headphone jack on my Note has not been working correctly unless I push the cable into the jack and then pull with my hand towards the screen (if you can imagine that)
If I dont do this I can still hear something but alot of the sound is muffled and it is a lot quieter, making the music impossible to listen to with out getting frustrated and wanting to throw it at the ground. Sometimes I can get it stuck in the right position and it works fine and I dont need to hold it.
Do you think it is broken or just dirty? I can take it apart and clean it, but I dont think I could replace it?
Any ideas? Have you had this before?

As far as I believe, it may not b just dirty, but the headphone jack has some issues..may b it was only dirty in the beginning, but now headphone jack would have become loose/not fitting the headphone pin correctly, because u are pulling the headphone jack with ur hand towards the screen, everytime..so better option would be service center
Hope I didnt confuse u..
May be 3.5 mm jack has become loose show it to a service center

I have no sound whats so ever?
I think i know the answer to my problem - i'm just not sure how to fix it.
Basically part of my headset is stuck in the headset port. It's the little tiny tip section of the jack end. I think the phone thinks there is a headset plugged in and thats why the speaker is not working - also when taking calls i cant hear the other person and they cant hear me.
Problem is, what do i do about it? It's an awful small jack fitting in the first place - never mind trying to get the smallest part out of that hole?
Any idea's? I want to avoid returning the phone to O2 because when they last had it (the touch screen stopped working) it took 4 weeks before i got it back and I need the phone for GPS everyday!
OOooooo errrr.
Thats got to be the worst of luck.
I can only siggest two possible things to do and they're nasty, very nasty!
1. Get a cocktail stick and dip the smallest possible amount of SuperGlue on the end(and I mean the smallest dribble.) Infact put a drop on a ceramic tile and dip the cocktail stick into it for a really small amount. Then insert and hold for a few minutes. You may have enough bond to ease out the remains.
2. If you dont use the jack you could shove a nail in there and gently wiggle if for quite a while to break the solder points carefuly and then pull the jack off, thus disconnecting the headset.
Sounds rough and nasty but thats what I'd do and then if it failed I'd put the jack on the remaining headset and send it back to O2 for replacement.
Ok im listening to music when all of a sudden the music cuts out, so w/e i unplug and plug in the headphones and it works again. But lately the earphone jack cuts out with any little movement to the earphone at all, i cant listen to music with the phone in my pocket because it cuts out when i take a step.
If anyone has any easy fix for this weird problem, please tell me.
*note: just to be sure it wasnt software based, i went to stock rom and just to make sure it wasnt the earphones i tried it with 5 pairs
any advice?
i've got the same problem, tried using headset blocker, but that didn't help
edit: If someone know how to delete this function out of android, i would be very pleased, because i dont use it!
i fixed it with a little piece of plastic i put between the headphonejack and the case like this:

How did you get the plastic in there? i tried biting off a piece of plastic straw but it wont go in all the way
Mine used to do that, but changing to new set of headphones (where the male connector wasn't so worn) fixed the issue for now.
I think the headphone jack is just a little sloppy on tolerances (and a little bit weak too). You might need to send it in for repair.

i used a part of a plastic straw. http://de.academic.ru/pictures/dewiki/116/trinkhalm.jpg
but it was 15 minutes work but it was worth that cause the jack is working like before.
Hi guys, I post this problem with a very heavy heart because I know somewhere inside that it's unfixable.
So, I sent my phone in for the unbrickable mod, all was successful, but now the headphone jack is absolutely not responding... I tried 4 roms, full format, kernel change, voodoo, nothing works... When I plug in an earphone, all sound still comes from the speaker... It's like no matter what, the earphone jack has stopped responding... Bluetooth earphones work fine, proximity sensor works fine, as it is my understanding that the headphone jack and proximity sensor connectors are linked... Everything else works perfectly.
Can somebody pls suggest a simple hardware or software solution that might help me? I could easily send it in for repairs, but I can't go without this phone for a week, again. This is currently my only smartphone, so if nothing else works, I will send it in, hopefully, by the end of November, when I get my nexus prime. In the meantime, any ideas??????

It's got to be a hardware issue. I've seen something similar to this for computers, but not Smartphones. Usually whatever component the headphone jack is soldered to is the part to get replaced and then it magically starts working. I can't imagine in any way that AdamOutler would accidentally break the headphone jack. Unless maybe there is a single wire he didn't put back together and its causing only the headphone jack not to work...just potential thoughts.
Unfortunately, your best bet is going to be to give it up for another week. I lost my Smartphone the past week due to Soft Bricking it and I went insane, so I know the feeling. JIG should be in the next couple days.
Good Luck!
Yea.. Nothing on Adam, he's been a huge help.. Just wondering if there was some sort of small adjustment I could do that will help... Otherwise I will just live with it for a couple of months n send it in when my nexus comes in.

Alright,my phone is stuck in headset mode after having headphones in it ONCE. I've combed the web and XDA. Everyone suggests the same things: Thorough cleaning with Q-Tip/Alcohol/Compressed Air (Done), re-inserting headphones and slowly removing them as audio plays (Done 1,000x), Factory Reset, Repair/Replacement.
I'm pretty sure I've done enough to this phone that the replacement is out of the question (We'll just call it "thoroughly used"). I'd rather not shell out for a repair and I know it isn't software related. If I use a paperclip and ever-so-gently press the center of the bottom of the jack, it turns on the earpiece speaker, but after a second or two of releasing it, it cuts back out.
So I'm looking for alternative advice. Perhaps a jury-rig you've performed and never posted? Maybe there's a file I can delete/alter to persuade my phone to ignore this imaginary headset? Maybe whipping it out of my car window at just the right speed and angle will straighten out whatever that switch is at the bottom of the jack? (I dream of this; My relationship with my Cappy is a Love/Hate thing)
Any help is appreciated and will be rewarded with a Thanks.
Edit: I don't mind of the headphone jack doesn't work as I don't use it for anything. I just want my phone's regular functionality back.
I don't know of a hardware solution (other than the car window suggestion that you had), but CM7 has a lot of options to configure what does and doesn't play over the headset, like forcing it to play alerts over the speaker when the headset is plugged in. I don't know if you would be able to get everything back to the way you want it, but I suspect you could get closer than where you are now.

Yeah. I can get my notifications and such to play out of the rear speaker, but music doesn't play and, when on a phone call, the earpiece doesn't work, so I can't hear anything. I've heard about an old app that could toggle the headset mode on and off, but it seems to have vanished as it doesn't work as of Android 2.x. I'd rather have the phone not recognize a headset or headphones at all. I just wish I knew how.
Bummer. Good luck in the resuscitation!
Take apart the phone and cut the wires leading to the jack

That may cause as many problems as your going to fix. Contact conexxion2005 and see if he can help you out.
Got it. I broke down the phone and checked out the little piece that houses the headphone Jack. Couldn't see much, but I disconnected the little square piece from the main board and just kinda poke and prodded at the main unit. After realizing that I didn't know what the hell I was doing, I put it all back together and whaddya know? It works.

Hello. I'm going to keep it brief. My phone's headphone jack has been messed up for a long time now (maybe a year, and I've had it for two years exactly). The left ear will have sound, and accessory will work, but the right ear is not working. As far as I know, there hasn't been any water inside the headphone jack, so I don't understand what's wrong with it. I'm running official firmware (latest), never rooted the phone or anything. Is there any way to test if the headphone jack is actually faulty? I don't want to pay 50$ to fix it, considering that I could get a chinese phone that performs similar if not better for like 100ish$. I remember I used the headphone jack normally in the morning, and when I went to plug my earbuds once I was done with classes, the right ear wasn't working.
Thanks!

Stupid question, have you tried other headphones?
Anyway, mono audio is usually caused when the jack is not fully inserted, try blowing some air in it and see if anything is stuck in there, For the jack to fully enter you should feel and hear a click. Post results here

Hey. Sorry for the late answer. Yeah I've tried with so many different headphones, even my Logitech G430. I guess it's the hardware itself. Can't say I didn't drop it from ear level on concrete so...
Please check if something is stuck there because it is really strange, also make sure you plug the jack all the way in. Other than that, there is not much else to do...
