Hi all !!
I have big problem, i explain..
Lately when I plug in my headphones, the sound comes out of both ears, but there is no bass to the words I did not hear or partially.
When I move a certain way the jack of my headphones the sound back, but I must keep the tip ..
How to repair the jack? Ow do to repair the jack?
Thank you in advance for your help.
(Sorry for my bad english)
This is definitely a hardware problem. You can try to find someone to fix it, or if you want to do it yourself, find the 3.5 mm headphone jack module somewhere online, find some optimus 2x disassembly videos, and remove the old jack and solder in the new one, and put the phone back together. To be honest, it sounds a little difficult and I'm not sure if it is worth your time. Your call.

Hi there, I've been experiencing earpiece problems ever since I bought this phone. It is of my opinion that there's some design problem (or is it my device) about the port.
Earpiece like Beats somehow doesn't get "deep" enough for me to plug it in in order to work. Sometimes I need to twist and turn the end so that it goes deeper so that my music won't get cut off. I'm very confused with it and initially I thought that it was my earpiece problem..
but I tested my earpiece on my friend's Sony Ericsson phone(they have good ports), my computer and it worked like a charm. So im wondering whether I should S-ON my device and go for a service under my warranty to attempt to 'fix' my port or is it just the design that has the damn problem ?
please give your suggestions
have you tried with any other incS?
should not be a problem as all phones will have the same 'mould' during build.
but it is always possible to have a manufacturing defect.
true, on the incS the ear phone port is a little 'out' but it works fine for most.
i would suggest remembering a 'sweet spot' for the headphones & try plugging it there the next time.
or of course, if the vendor is ready to swap it for a new piece & you are really unhappy with this issue you could try
Thanks , it worked fine for most earpieces through , but a little upset that some earpieces can't work on mine .
I always thought that as long as I've a 3.5mm jack in my phone , most earpiece would work , I guess I have to choose those that are with "longer ends" when buying earpieces

I'm having trouble getting a consistent connection through the audio jack, using the urbeats headphones given to me by p4u. Thus makes the audio crackle or mostly come out of one side. I've tried the headphones on another device and they are fine. Not tried other headphones in the HTC One yet but I'm certain its just a connection issue. I.e. I can't push the headphones in enough. Anyone else had this issue?

tested other headphones and they were fine. It's justthe URBeats don't fully go in. There is a slight bit of play.
Push them all the way in. I sometimes do that mistake by not pushing them properly.

Yup that was the first thing I tried. They won't go in any further. Looks like there is just under a mm of space. I've tried pushing fairly hard.
Oh that's odd. I think headphones can be defective. or the phone, which i hope not. Try another pair of headphones on HTC One.
And trying checking your headphone jack with a toothpick or small needle very carefully. It happened on my HTC One S, there was some dustball in it and I wasn't able to push it all the way. But be careful tho, you just need to check it lightly.

Thanks, first two posts. I've tried other headphones and the beats in other devices, All is fine. The problem is specifically with the combination of urbeats and HTC one. Phone is brand new so no furballs
Must be the 'phones. Did the standard beats-esque ones work that come with the phone?

I'm fairly sure it'sthe connection and not the earphones or phone specifically. Yes other headphones are fine. The urbeats are fine in other devices too. Issue is with the connection between urbeats and phone, I can exacerbate it by swiveling the connector.
Well if the other headphones are fine, this is really really strange. I really have no idea what might be the problem.
Had the same thing with the urbeats phones. Clean the headphone jack (the silver bit) with a damp cloth (or I just used licked fingers) to remove some production residue and they'll work fine.

Thanks, I will try that out.
Glad someone else has had a similar problem and understands what I mean. I am going to pop into a P4U if cleaning the jack doesn't work.
no

no, my work fine
Went into a P4U today and they confirmed the issue. Getting some replacement URBeats which will hopefully fix the problem. Either that or the phone needs replacing.
Think it's either a small socket or a big audio jack.
Sorry if this the wrong place to ask this question, but as the title says, my Apple earphones aren't clear on my s1. Plz don't say just buy beats or other earphones because the Apple ones are the most comfortable to me. When I use the apple earphones the sound quality is a bit weird, while other earphones work fine. If there is anyway to fix this problem I will be glad to hear.
Thanks.

Try this thing, while playing music, press and hold answer button on your headset, sound should become clear.
This is a well known hardware problem, it's that apple and samsung manufacture headphones jacks using different connection layout. That way headset mics do not work properly by different manufacturer. Usually, when you buying headset, it defines "iphone, htc compatible" or "samsung, nokia compatible" (not sure about specific phone manufacturer). I also have one philips headset which came with simple 3.5 female to 3.5 male adapter, to work with both connection types.
Moreover SGS1 has tv-out through the same headphones jack, this way it's more messed up, and even the sound does not work properly.
I guess your only option would be buying some adapter, seen several on ebay, specifically designed for sgs1, but I could not tell whether they do what it says.

I heard electric noise for few seconds every time I plugged in my earphone to the phone. The noise dissappeared automatically after that.
I have tried a few earphones and they all have the same problem.
Any ideas??
Thank.

Having the same problem here (.534 Firmware)! It is really annoying. First I thought it had something to do with Poweramps Auto-Play Feature, but it seems to be a general Headphone Bug.

Mine are Shure SE 215!
I found out that playing and pausing audio with any Audio Player does stop the noise signal after some seconds. Sometimes it also stops by itself. Very strange problem, did not experience it with my old Xperia S.
To me that sound similar to desktops. When you plug the speakers in the back. You hear the distortion before its in 100%.
Not sure what that is but doesnt seem to affect anything. Do yiu have any water in the headphone hole?
Maybe its the phones metal inside. Could be dust? Maybe something in there thats interfering with the headphone jack. Give it a good blow. Or a brush that can get in there.

The Distortion appears directly after plugging in the jack and stops after some seconds or upon pausing the audio. This is without touching or moving the cable, so it does not have something to do with the mechanical connection.
EDIT:
Ok I found something out: The noise just appears when using earphones with a standard connector with 3 lanes (Ground, Left and Right Channel). When using a headset with 4 lanes (Ground, Left, Right, Mic) there is no noise signal. Tried it with both a Sony and an Apple headset (no noise) and my Shure earphones (noise)
I have no clue why it behaves like this, though.
Could be a cheap way for them to make you spend more money on headphones.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
My Shures were definitely more expensive than the headsets I tested 3 vs 4 lanes is not a quality sign it's just so that a headset needs the 4th connector for the Microphone signal (correct me when I'm wrong).
I have similar issue on brainwavz B2 but that weird sound is gone after a while...
Looks like Im not alone on this issue. I have problems with Shure se210 and westone 4r.

its an issue with smart connect not being automatically turned on just go to the app and switch the profile for your music off and on again.
Can anyone try that? I dont have mine anymore.

Good idea, but it does not help. Also tried deactivating Smart Connect and rebooting, but there's still noise when plugging in the jack.
This really annoys me! Especially because it just happens with normal earphones and not with headsets, so it probably is not a hardware bug.

No, it has nothing to do with moving the device (and there definitely are no vacuum tubes in a mobile phone xD). But I am not sure if that was your question.

Yep, that was the answer to my question and regardless it's connected with headphones generally.
Same issues with headphone jack
Hey guys I'm experiencing exactly the same noise with my headphone jack on my Z1.
I'm using a pair of Sony MDRXB41EXB Extra Bass Headphones and they don't have a microphone built in.
Has anybody alerted Sony to the issue yet?

I have problems with jaybird bluebuds x :crying:
Well this is disturbing. I was hoping this kind of crap would have been sorted out by now. I posted a longer rant on another review of the Z1 on Engadget, but here's a snippet of what I wrote,
"I had a really bad experience with a Sony MD player. had a sharp md player, that I bought in Japan, and that thing was awesome. It did everything I wanted it to, It was pretty and sleek and I loved it. It died in a car wreck. Back in the states, I got a Sony to replace it. (only available brand at the time) Twice, I had to return it for a manufacture's repair because the headphone port kept crapping out and creating static on the headphones. The stupid retailer tried to convince me it was my headphones but I tried multiple pairs. The thing was a piece of garbage. Ever since then, I've had a bit of a sour taste regarding Sony's audio products. "
The problem you all are having seems a bit better, at least the static goes away after a couple of seconds. On my MD player, it would go away but then come back if I adjusted the headphones at all inside the jack, and sometimes without provocation. Has anybody noticed that the problem persists beyond a couple of seconds after the headphones are plugged in? If it does, It might just be the same flaw in Sony's headphone jack design. It's abhorrent to me, that a company that built its brand on audio fidelity is also the only company with which I've ever had a problem with something as simple as a headphone jack. I hope that this is the exception rather than the rule with these phones, because I still really want one. I guess one potential solution is to just use bluetooth headphones instead, but this doesn't solve the potential hardware problem, It's just a work-around, and when you pay that much for a flagship device, you shouldn't have to work around anything. The hardware should work flawlessly.
oops.. I ranted again.

This is the reply I got from Sony Mobile:
Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre.
We are sorry to hear that you are having difficulties finding headphones to work with your Sony Xperia Z1.
The Sony Xperia Z1 uses a CTIA headphone jack and therefore will only be compatible with other CTIA headphones. As Sony do not test there phones with Third Party Manufacturers, such as Shure and Westone, we can not confirm that they use the same connectivity. You would need to speak to the headphones manufacturers to find this information.
The headphones and headset models which are compatible for your phone are listed below:
MH750
MK200
MW1
SBH20
MBH10
SBH52

Hello everyone, this is my first post here and before I ask my question I have to say thanks to all XDA members for the great help you provided me over the years.
Today my problem is that the sound/music in my Note 4 (TRLTECAN) through the 3.5mm jack plug is really really distorted and by distorted I mean crackling, noisy, not ''listenable''.... Also only the left channel is working.
I already did a lot of search and here is what I did so far :
Tried 3 audio output devices (AKG Q701, Stock earbuds, Harman Kardon SoundstickIII)
Flashed stock firmware from SamMobile with heimdall
Tried Viper4Android on SlimRemix LP 5.1.1
Replaced the jack plug with an OEM brand new one
I carefully cleaned the contacts between the logic board and the replacement jack plug connector
I tested different audio output like bluetooth and usb via the Samsung Multimedia Dock and through my Fiio E17 DAC and all was crystal clear. So now I'm asking you guys if you have ideas... Oh by the way my Knox counter is tripped so no RMA or repair for me... If someone can find a solution for this I'll give money to this/those persons and be extremely grateful !
Thanks in advance !
P.S. I usually write in french so sorry for the bad english.

Thanks for the answer its a great idea but I dont think this can hide the kind of distortion that I talk about. For the bluetooth headphones I dont think the audio quality will met my AKG Q701 specs... And by the way I have my usb DAC for listenning music and its doing great. All I want is to get the jack plug working as it was before without external gadget.
Hello,
I know which distortion you mean, I have that one too. Happened right after updating to 5.1.1. In my case I think that if I were able to downgrade that'd fix it.
I do not have this problem so I can not help other then some advice. Have you tried cleaning, it tuner spray or something like that, also if your technically inclined you can order a new one and replace it or if its still under warranty odin it back to stock. And take it in as its a hardware problem not software they should honor it I have never had to take mine apart so I'm not sure how difficult it would be anyways here is a list from ebay http://www.ebay.ca/sch/Cell-Phone-Smartphone-Parts-/43304/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=note+4+earphone+jack. Here is a video on how to take it apart if you watch the video you will notice the headphone jack is mounted to the back and uses a touch connection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZND9Q73wjr8
