Hello! I'm new to this phone, coming from a 2 year old Xperia ZL.
I've been using it for one week already and I can't help but notice that every time I plug in a pair of headphones (headset or otherwise) the audio jack wobbles a bit. It's not enough to be worrying, since audio doesn't stop or anything like that, but I noticed the plug follows the female (black plastic) part on the phone. Does anybody else have this problem? I'm getting a bluetooth headset just in case, but anyways.
I've seen somewhere on a Sony forum that someone's audio jack downright stopped working and he had to get a replacement. And even the replacement phone had the wobbly jack. I just wanted to know if this is a common issue or just an isolated case.
I have the same behavior, but dont worry about this.

Thanks! I recently met with another person who also has the Z3C (they are hard to come by, since it isn't sold officially in my country) and not only he also had the same behavior but he hadn't even noticed it until I showed him! I guess it's common and it should be fine if handled with care.

hey guys! got a problem. i think my headphone jack is busted but i have no idea why and how...
it was working perfectly fine, and last night i tried 2 hook up my headphones 2 listen 2 sm music, and, well.... there was music in the headphones, which is a good thing... but there was also music coming out from the main speaker. thats like -> 2 in 1??? not a good thing. the point of headphones is to listen 2 stuff privately
can anyone help me on this one? please!!!!
Hi
It seems that your connector socket (not plug) has worn out.
It happens. Now it doesn't disconnect two pairs of pins inside your device, which should tell it to shut up, because headphones are inserted
You have three options:
- find an official service (can cost you much)
- find some tech-geek who will open your device and bend connector plates a little (or do it yourself) (no cost, but kinda risky
- huh... no third option I guess...
Good luck
interesting
interestin ill think bout it... though sm good tech service in my area might be out of the question, and my guarantee is in Kuwait, not where i am now:/ so i'm sorta messed up only a bit though
if i'll be extremely extremely desperate i guess i might end up tryin that out...after sorta tearing apart my old nokias (around 5 of them), and finally i'll go for the nokia 6600 and 7610....then ill calculate the odds of screwing up my baby....and well..... we'll c
thanks for the advice man
but seriously, i'll think it over, might give it a shot...how hard can it be...right?
its all fixed i did it woohooo sweet
It is nice to hear

My original broke a few months ago and I searched online. Found a 5-pack. Sorry, I don't know where I bought them, but at least you know they are out there.
thanks
i have search and search and still but thanks
I lost one and broke one the other day. I called up support in my country (Taiwan) and they carry just hooks in the office for maybe 6 - 7 bucks USD so i would try contacting support.
I think it is a bad design cuz they are easy to lose and its getting a bit loose.
One of many suppliers I found in 5 seconds, searching for "bt8010 earhook":

I've noticed this, too. The socket for the hook is now larger than it used to be so even new hooks are a little loose.
thanks for the
thanks for the lick i think the design of the loop sucks but the ear piece is great i can hear music and do my calls and not be worried of getting wires tangled like the wired ones.the odd think some people ask me if it is 2 bluetooth??. any ways for now i dont see like changing them for something else thanks
first time it broke for me about 2 years ago, I wasnt able to find it anywhere, so I wrote request to jabra customer service and got a pair for free in the mail.
now it's available for better price than from other sellers http://www.shop.jabra.com/jabra/Shop?Dsp=30007&PCR=1:401
I bought a new motherboard to my n1 because power button wasn't working. I disassembled it fine and swapped the motherboard. When reassembling following this video: www[.]youtube[.]com/watch?v=60yNy4xYcFo , the back speaker don't work anymore. It gives me no sound whatsoever. Everything else is working fine flawlessly, even the power button.
The only difference I had from the video is that my speaker from the back was de-attached after dissembling and I had to put it back and from what I tried, it only fits one way.
Anyone can help me solve this issue please?
i dont know if this is helpful or not, but some of the n1 is modular and you may be able to replace the speaker easily. :-/ i feel for you. dont forget too, you can use a headset or bluetooth headset stereo/no stereo
:-/
My speaker seems like it died today. I have had my N1 since last January.
I searched the forums and didn't find too much on dead speakers.
Are people having this happen more now that the N1 is getting up in age and if so what are people replacing them with?
I found a reference to one site but they want you to buy 5 of them minimum. I am looking for recommendations if anyone has any.
Thanks

there was one thread in the accessories sub forum where some guy purchased a nexus one speaker to replace his failed speaker. i think he was forced to buy in quantity though, like 5 speakers at once or something. but i think his replacement was successful.
this was probably 8 months ago or more. but it was definitely in the accessories sub forum for nexus one. try search around there maybe it has useful info.
I vaguely remember that thread, and I think it may actually have been the ear piece speaker that he replaced... Might be wrong though...

I tested my speaker with a multitester and I get no reading.
I ordered a speaker off ebay for about $6. I will report back when I get in and install it.

OK, I got my speaker from ebay and installed it. Everything is working again and the multi-tester gave a reading on the new one. So I think I blow out the OEM one. I just hope this one lasts.

Like title, anyone having similar situation like that ??? 3 normal headset has been tested, basically the phone has something to do with that. Did factory reset and all stuff, nothing works.
There were lots of people suffering that with the same pattern as mine with just left earplug
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...ug-wont-play-music/td-p/402779/highlight/true
Last option is to send the phone toward service, i really want to avoid that since i won't be in Australia for a while.

I had this happen to me.
I tried with two different headsets.
Turns out both headsets were broken and the phone was fine.
Maybe that's the case for you too.
Did you try a bluetooth handset? Anyway I know you are in complicated situation but in this case the best thing is send it back to repair via warranty.

I wouldn't be that sure.. I had the same problem, left audio channel didn't work in headphones. I tried 3 different headsets. That problem was in the phone. I've sent it to a repair centre and they replaced my while unit because they couldn't fix the issue. So I would send it in for repair with this problem. I know I did and got a replacement phone.
3 handset and all the same problem? 100% faulty device or jack, send it back to repair.

Could be, though i had this issue before with different devices and its always the headset
Of course i guess you can't discard the phone as a culprit
Maybe you should find a way to verify it for free before sending it in for repairs

Same case, it was dirt

Watch out with sticking a needle in the headphone jack! There's some special coating in it to make it waterproof! I guess that a needle can make destroy this coating!

Not entirely too late, at least it helped me.
Been trying to find a solution for this same problem and was beginning to think a repair was needed.
Just to confirm...with a needle, after clearing out a clump of fluff sound now plays through both earphones of the 5 different headsets that wouldn't work before.
For anyone else trying to fix this problem either now or in the future, its at least worth a try.
Thanks rvzek
I've noticed that my left earplug have lower volume than the right one. Did someone had this problem?
I cannot remember what caused this, but it's only on the Sony headset and not other. Others are working fine.
Hey guys,
I don't know how, but something in my headphone jack broke somehow and now headphone/aux cables are way too loose and always pop out. I don't even think about putting my phone in my pockets anymore because the cable would pop out anyways... Does anyone else have this problem? If yes have you found any solution, other than replacing the headphone jack? I bought my device on honorbuy and have never sent back a device there (phone is like 3/4 year old), so I would be fine with an easier do it yourself fix.

I meant to say it is ¾ years old, in german you can say that but apparently in english this is not so common. But it is the Mi Max 2 I'm talking about.
Even i had this problem I was so frustrated that I thought of going for repair and next thing I did was took a needle tried to clear out my jack and what I found lint/cotton ball from clothes etc was clogging my bottom of jack, just clear it out and enjoy
