As it says in the title. My headphone jack has stopped working. When I plug any set of headphones in all I get is what sounds like a radio that is not tuned! Anyone else ever come across this. I rarely use the headphone jack so I got a not so pleasant surprise today. Would this be covered under HTC warranty? My phone is rooted, will this cause the warranty to be void in this situation? Thanks in advance, Peter
Just a follow up to my previous post. I sent my phone for repair and they replaced the handset with a new one.... Just some info for anyone with a similar problem.

Im currently on my 3rd hero. The first one was replaced due to the headphone jack kicking the bucket, and the second was bc sprint seemed to think my 2.1 lag was a software issue. Now, being on my 3rd hero, my headphone jack seems to be cutting out AGAIN! This time its only the left channel. the left cut out on 2 sets of headphones and in my car, so its definately a phone issue and not a speaker issue.
Does anyone know a way around this to fix it? Im fairly certain its not a software issue, as i had the same problem on stock sense as well as cm6. I really have no desire to get yet another hero from sprint...
I've had a similar problem. Only on my 1st Hero, but the left channel went out randomly today. Thought it was a headphone issue, bought new ones, it wasn't. Checked the old and new headphones on other devices, they work. Definitely the 3.5mm jack on the phone.
What did you end up doing?
I'm not thrilled with getting another Hero, even though I have insurance. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? I use my music through headphones a ton, so before I go back to school, I need this fixed. Guy told me he'd order a new Hero for me, could send it to my school... ugh. Any ideas?
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??????
Sent from my cell phone. DUH.
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.

Just bought a used xperia t with part of the headphone jack stuck inside and the earpiece/apps/music has no volume. I have removed the headphone socket but damaged it removing the part stuck inside. Now I assumed the phone would work ok with it removed but still has same issue.
Anyone know if having the socket removed would revert the phone into headphone mode? I can use it on speaker phone and you hear alarms and notifications but nothing through earpiece and apps and games are silent.
Do you think it's a separate issue as I have factory reset it twice but still the same. I have seen sockets on eBay but they are around £28 delivered and don't really want to spend that if its gonna be the same.
I read about issues due to software so considered reverting it back to ICS since it came with latest JB software.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Simon.
Just solved it myself. It still thinks it in headphone mode so downloaded an app from play store called "SoundAbout" which has an option to disable jack detection so it now works just no headphone socket unless I get a replacement.
Hello,
I just used my headphone jack for the first time over vacation last week, and I was wondering if anyone else had issue with their headphone jack? I took a pair of working headphones (that I use for my computer) plugged them into the phone (on stock rom) and I only get one ear to work. Could this have been caused by unlocking the bootloader or anything? it's the first time I've had this issue, and it sucks because it makes the phone partially unusable.
Is this something I should contact motorola over? Or maybe there is a firmware fix somewhere? I'm doing a little thinking out loud.. but I want to see if anyone else is having issues?
Haven't experienced that issue. Sounds like a hardware problem.

My Bravo does that sometimes, it was caused from plugging and unplugging too way many times (2-3 times a day for 2 years). I thought had a similar situation with the AHD, but it ended up being a short in my headphones volume slider.
Try blowing dust out like an old NES game, rotating the plug while plugging/unplugging a few times, and try multiple headphones if possible -- it might just not like those particular headphones.
Unlocking the bootloader won't cause an issue like that. Could be either hardware or software failure. To test if this is a software issue, try flashing multiple roms and see if the condition persists. If it does then this is likely a hardware failure. If hardware and unlocked, contact Motorola and tell them it just quit turning on one day say "I went to bed, woke up, and it wasn't working." Do NOT mention kernel, rom, CM, bootloader, root, XDA, Linux, or anythin that makes you sound like you might know something -- trust me there. If they'll accept it for warranty with that excuse fry the board so it can't boot, which we have 2 options for -- super clocked way over volted kernel or splicing a 110v male end directly with the mini usb plug for a phone. If the don't accept it for warranty, you'll have to buy a replacement jack (maybe front housing, never looked up AHD spare parts) and fix it yourself.
Had a similar problem. Use rubbing alcohol and a one of those thin dental brushes.
The alcohol will vaporize (DONT POUR IT IN OBV). It could be an issue with dust collection over one channel connection.
For a control expt try with another pair of earphones to make sure they're not the problem

Please check whether your headphone jack is 3.5mm or 3mm plugging 3mm on 3.5mm causes this issue...
Sent from my Atrix HD using xda app-developers app
Hello developers around XDA...I got a issue of no sound from earpiece and speaker on my Sony Xperia ZR device since when I was on stock rom. later I decide to switch from stock to custom rom to solve this issue but unfortunately it wasn't work. I wonder about many people are still facing same issue on different devices even in Google premium phone Pixel XL 2. I am finding answer online about the cause and many people have told headjack faulty which prevent to route audio on speaker and Earpiece. I am finding solution to get it fix from system root path or any code edit in root path without use of third party app like sound about or audio router.
So I need developers to look into issue on how to route audio without app permanently. Any fix from developers would be appreciated and ready to test on device.
try sound about from the play store
I know about " Sound about" and "Audio Router" app. But my concern is to fix this issue without app by ROM. How soundabout app works to route audio by blocking headset which Android see as plug-in. That trick should be in ROM in the form of switcher inbuilt in Android settings.

Hi! I started to have the same problem few months ago. I was on stock lollipop. So I figured I flash LineageOS. It didn't help. I think it's a headphone jack fault. I've had this phone for four years and every day i listen music. I think headphone jack just wore out.
EDIT: I changed my display two years ago. Had water damage (seawater). I think the headphone jack thing, may come from that too.
This problem started to me when I was on lollipop Sony stock rom so I decide to switch to Lineage or other ROM but issue wasn't solved. I use soundabout which relieve me from this issue but as you told it might be headphone jack problem..it's seems to be doubt because other devices from legacy till Pixel XL 2 owner facing same issue even they didn't use headphone daily. So may be it's a issue related to Sound certificate/license expiry for legacy device...

I have the same problem too
I know the problem & the solution.
Problem: Only Media Tones (Loudspeaker / Music / In-Call audio) is broken.
That is because the headphone jack is loosened. The correct way to solve the problem is to plug a headphone jack (I used 3 pole) and properly unplug the jack while playing a song.
Check for audio again, plug / unplug until you can listen to the music by speaker.
Another way is to use log cat and look exactly where it is stuck after plugging & unplugging.
I encountered this after plugging audio cable to my car. Unfortunately, I cannot plug it in again because it is too loose to be usable and might permanently fell into headphone jack attached mode.
The whole set is available at Alibaba (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...Jack-Audio-Flex-Cable-Mobile/32717114182.html)
Thanks to @namenlos from ZL thread for sending me the alibaba link.
