Hello everyone! I picked up a Nexus 6 the other day, and I have ran into a very interesting audio problem with it. I like to use it in my car to listen to Spotify. However, for some reason, when I plug in the cable, it does not always detect that the cable is plugged in, and still outputs sound through the phone speakers. I originally thought this was the aux cable I was using, and I replaced it, but it was still happening. I was messing with it a bit more today and it seems that if I plug it in slowly, it will play out of my car just fine. However, if I plug it in normally, it is like it doesn't see the cable at all. This does not happen at all with other systems at all, be it other cars or home audio gear. It also does not happen with my deck and a different phone (I tested it with my old One M8). Currently, I am using SoundAbout to force it to output to the headphone jack before getting in the car, but this is getting to be a bit of a pain to remember to disable it each time I take my phone out. Has anyone else ran into a similar issue? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey,
I'm having the same problem as a lot of the people in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-625731.html
..where any movement of the plug (headphones, 3.5 jack to jack cable in the car, pc speakers - but not the stock 'phones) causes random skipping of any music that I'm playing. I literally can't use the headphone socket unless I use the the in-ears that came with the phone.
Did this ever get resolved? Anyone still having the same issue?
It's bugging me that I can't listen to the music on my phone in the car...

Wow, I thought I was the only one! It used to happen to me all the time on CM 5.0.8, and CM 6 RC1...It's a wierd bug, as I didn't even know what was causing it at first, then once I found the issue, I couldn't replicate it.
I haven't had this issue in a while, however...Try out one of the CyanogenMod nightlies or RC3, see if that solves your problem.
Try 'Headset Blocker' by Roadkill in the market. It intercepts the headphone control signals.
@wdfowty: I'm using CM 6RC3. Its done it on every rom I've used.
@-dlee: I'll try it, thanks.
Lame, sorry to hear that. I hope that app works for you, post back if it does!
Second the reply to Headset Blocker. Drove me nuts until I installed that.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Most probably it's your headset connector having bad contacts, resulting in it being sensitive and reacting to very small plug movements with connect/disconnect of the "control" connector (which is shorted to ground when you plug a regular headphone jack).
Yep, Headset Blocker worked perfectly.
Thanks -dlee..
I saw several posts about headphones, but none really described my problem I'm having (that I found).
Recently I noticed that my phone was not registering properly when the headphones were plugged in/unplugged. I first noticed one day after going for a run, I took out my headphones, and my music continued to play, just not through the speakers on the phone. I could not get anything to play through the phone speakers til I rebotted the phone. Then a couple days later I plugged in my headphones to listen to music, and it played it through the speakers. I unplugged/plugged them in several times trying to get it to register the headphones were plugged in, but it did not work til I again rebooted the phone.
Has anyone else had similar problems? And is there a way to fix it without replacing the phone?
Hi Guys
I have my Notes dock connected to a pair of active studio monitor speakers (Cakewalk). When the 3.5mm audio jack is connected to the Notes 3.5mm out on the top of the phone all is well.
When I connect via the docks 3.5mm out (and set the Notes audio to dock out) I get an audible 'pop' from the speakers when the screen is touched - seems like a surge of power from the sound card audilbe from the USB but not from the phones own 3.5mm out.
When the phone is awake using fairly regular touches there are no pops, only when it is dormant for a few seconds does it make you jump out of your skin
I have had the same set up running perfectly using an HTC HD2 and Kidiggi docking cradle.
I don't know if it is the Dock or my Galaxy Note at fault
Any help is appreciated

I'm experiencing the same issue.
Audio ouput through the Note's own 3.5mm jack is popping as well. Doesn't matter whether I'm using passive headphones or an active speaker.
The Note I had before I got a replacement had this too, so it seems to be a general problem :/
Edit:
Forgot to say that it seems that the speaker output gets disabled when there is no sound for about 2 seconds. As soon as something makes a sound the speaker gets enabled again and produces the popping sound.
So while listening to some music or watching videos there is no popping at all. Only when the playback starts.
I have the same problem with my SGN. It's much more noticable, when I connect car charger, but without it it's still there, but u need to focus to hear it. Any of you found solution to this?

FInally got my new Droid Turbo up and running but now I'm experiencing an audio output problem with the headphone jack. I use the Radiopup app and SiriusXM app to stream radio during the day. I generally connect to an aux in on my radio at work. Audio works fine for a bit, but consistently cuts out. It generally will restart and changing the volume on the phone also seems to bring it back. If disconnected from the headphone jack and playing through the phone speaker, things play just fine with no interruptions. This is driving me crazy...any ideas?
Do you have a case that might be preventing the plug from going in the whole way?

I don't have a case on the phone and the sound was definitely working well when it was actually working. I ended up doing a factory reset and it is working for now...hopefully it stays that way.
I'm having a problem where I can't seem to put my finger on it. I have 2 week old Nexus 6 and part of the reason why I bought the phone was to stream music in my car. However, every time i try, I get this horrible static coming from the phone. So naturally I thought, well it must be the cable that i'm using to hook up my phone to the aux port of my car . So i bought a shelled Aux cable and the hiss is still there. So i tried my wife's Samsung Note 4 and the cable is fine and the sound is beautiful from her phone. So next logical thing is, this phone is busted. So I put some apple head phones on the phone, the hiss is gone! I can't hear it, it works beautifully. My next thought is, the head phones are just not quality enough to pick up the hiss. So I have some mid-range Sure head phones that are pretty badass. I put those in and i STILL don't hear the hiss. Now i'm clueless as to what it might be. The phone makes the hiss in the car's aux port while on the charger, while off the charger, All audio programs I through at it.
I was wondering if anyone is having the same issue or had any luck solving it.
Nexus 6 aux issue
I am having the exact same issue.
Are you plugging it into power? You may need a ground loop isolater.
i have that exact same issue.. when ever i connect charger to phone...
forgot to say this is on a GS4.. my N6 will arrive tomorrow or friday..
if its a ground issue.. i should just add a ground to the cars wire harness.. that should take care of the issue right??
i will add the ground wire to the plug for the power outlet.
EDIT: i get my nexus 6 today.. i will try it out. if i still get the noise.. i will add the ground wire.
Aux sounds issues with nexus 6
This is my problem: with my old note 2, also a lgg2, I listen music in the car with a aux male to male connector, at the same time I also received calls and I could talk through the phone and listen through the car speakers. Now I can listen music with the nexus 6 but at soon as I receive a call stop sending the sound to the car and reroute the sound to the earpiece on the phone.
