[Q] Headphone Jack Not Working! - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I decided to use my headphones today for the first time and the sound is distorted and Google now would automatically start every ten seconds! Anyone else having this issue? I used my headphones on my laptop with no problems. This really blows.

I didn't have this exact problem. I did get the google now thing a lot. And only some times. Like some days it wouldn't happen at all and others it wouldn't stop. I also have been having a problem with if I kneel/bend my body to much it'll shut the music off.

Clear the dust of headphone jack and give it a try and also give it a look that if the headphone is plugged in properly or not. I mean if it's Completely inserted or not

I have a similar problem. When using the headphone jack i just receive sound on one channel, the other one is mute. The only way to receive sound on both channel is to force the headphone plug to the left

[Q] Music plays when headphones are unplugged even when no music is playing

Anyone have any ideas why this happens. I could be getting off a call and unplug my phone and all of a sudden winamp starts up and starts playing music over the speaker.

Do your headphones have an inline mic? I have a pair of old, crappy headphones that do this because the wires are semi-exposed and it triggers the signal for pressing the inline mic button when I pull them out. I haven't found a fix for it unfortunately. You may be able to make a Tasker profile that automatically stops media playback when headphones are unplugged as a workaround.
Sounds about right. My headphones are a bit messed up and I wrote something for tasker to take care of this for me. That's probably it.
I'll have to check with my other headphones.
Thanks

My headphones needed a bit of force to get them in properly and recognised. I think, maybe they were just not recognised the first couple of time. I'll have another go later, I've only tried once.
If I push to hard, speakers take over. I have to move it for it to play on my earphones. Pretty stuoid . Calling Google today since its my day off.
It has to be just right for it to go through the earphones. Putting it in the jack doesn't cut it because it plays through the speakers. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I WAANT TO WATCH PORN.. LOL

ok is working ,i realize that it need to be pushed all the way in lol.:laugh:
for some reason was not obvious to me, i guess because on my Gnexus don't need to force it that much.
I noticed same thing. So you had to apply more pressure to force it in? I was afraid of breaking the damn thing. I can't get it to recognize any of my headphones but will play out through my lil surround sound system that has a headphone plug. I noticed that the plugs don't seem to go all the way in. I will try to force it in harder..lol.
I need to get some dedicated headphones. Only ones I have are the ones with a built in mic attached. Those won't go in all the way no matter how hard you push. Its likely to break the headphone jack if you keep trying to force them. Ones with mic. attached have 3 rings on the plug. Straight stereo headphones have only 2 rings, which is what I need.

Problem with audio through headset, sound ONLY on left side.

My SGS stopped playing audio on the left channel today, happened all of a sudden. Music was playing fine, pressed pause, removed headset and an hour later i pop it back in and only hear audio from the left side. Tried reboot, factory reset, rom change etc. No luck so far.
I have never had this problem before, and it's quite devastating.
Any ideas, suggestions?

Yeah, well headset is about 2 years old, but I haven't had any problems with it so far. And I also tried it out on my home stereo where the same issue occured, where only the left speaker played audio.
I tried with a normal pair of headphones, where both sides worked well with my phone. They didn't have a microphone, so I'm guessing the problem is in that area.
Not really sure what to do.

[Q] My Htc one has music playback problems

I have had my htc for over 2 weeks now and iv realised that from time to time when using headphones or aux then music player either skips the song when playing/jitters and also just pauses it self so i have to press play then it stops again!
This is with the stock android music, htc music player, poweramp also deezer so its not just one app.
Anyone else with this problem? or solution? thanks
(just thought id mention i have a bit of overhang and the gaps)

Wow htc still has this problem? I am a bit surprised.. Well download headset blocker from the market. That should do the trick

I listen to music every day with stock player and other players. No such problems with my unit. Did you try different headphones? Inserted all the way in?
Seems like a headphone jack issue. The jitters, random pauses & song skips I experienced all of them when I used a cheap headphone on my old HTC device. replaced it with the official one and it worked flawlessly.

I'm having the exact same problem with my new HTC one. The HTC does have headphone jack issues because my jawbone up does not work with it. However, I'm using a very good set of cans so it's not a headphone quality problem. If they do only work with stock or beats then the phone is going back.

having this issue with skullcandy 50/50s. Wizdroid, headset blocker, poweramp headset controls off. Nothing fixes it.
Same here, Using an Parrot Zik.... over bluetooth with beyondpotcast, poweramp etc.. Got the impression it's caused by other processes going on im the background.
Update, Just tested it with airplane mode on, no jitters then.
Okay, I think I have this issue. At first I thought it was the custom rom, then I thought Pandora was buggy, cuz it would skip six songs and cause me to hit my limit. Also, volume rockers didn't work right, sometimes pressing the volume would open the voice search or make a phone call, or more likely the phone thought I was holding down a headset button. I'll give Headset Blocker a shot.
Other than this, my phone is perfect.
I have this problem intermittently. I was on a plane recently and the songs would play for a minute or something and skip or stop. However right now it doesn't do it. I am using stock headphones. It also does it with other media players, not just stock. I thought I had found some feature on the phone to change the songs but no, it does this and I have no idea why.
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem with my HTC One. When I'm using the stock headset it fast forwards, skips the music in all audio players but when I plug in standard headphones without a mic, sennheiser cx300ii, all those issues disappear. Right now I can't say if its the faulty socket on the phone or the headset problem since I don't have any other headsets with a mic to test it with.

I think you may be getting on to something. I made a few calls with the stock headphones recently and it was popping and crackling like crazy. Unusable. Maybe defective headphones.

I downloaded a third party app which blocks the mic and I no longer experience the skipping songs problem. The app is wizdroid.

Yea, the few calls I made had the same result. Everyone who I spoke with using the headphones said that they can't hear me clearly and there is a lot of noise.
found my fix.
Hi all,
I discovered I have this problem while I was at the gym. I tried downloading the Wizdroid app but that did nothing for me. I then tried to use a different set of headphones with and without a mic and that solved the problem.
Seems like the control button and mic on my HTC headphones has broken, which is a shame 'cus they were good headphones
Hope this helps.
I'm having the same problem, and I stumbled across this post:

Will be trying it as soon as I can scrounge up some materials. Will update with results.
EDIT: This happens with every pair of headphones I try. Haven't tried the aforementioned app though, I'll test with that too.

The rubber o-ring works! I keep it on my headphones and it isn't intrusive in any way.
Great! Thanks, the stock headphones are not too bad so I'd like to keep using them for listening to some music.

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.
