fault in earphone jack

So I have been using my phone as an mp3 while commuting.
One day, music started to randomly skip tracks or pause/play/shuffle etc.
After some time, I realised that this is due to poor connection of the headphone which I suspect triggers the 'remote control' function from the stock earphone. (I use sennheiser headphones instead of the stock earphones )
I don't see anyway I can solve this but to (perhaps) avoiding the stock music player.
Anyone got the same problem?

I had some screwy stuff happening whenever I tried using a few different pairs of headphones - all of which were the non-remote kind, with the three contact poles as opposed to four.
I got a set of nice Klipsch earbuds made to work with iPhone, so they've got the four contacts to include the remote capability. No issues with them at all.
So my recommendation would be to get a set of earbuds that have an inline remote so the contact points line up properly inside the jack.

You do need to use the four contact pole with the N1. This issue happened to me when i first got my phone. I came here found the info and it was fixed.

Search android market for a small widget called "Headset blocker". Its free and fixed this issue for me. It works by intercepting the headset commands and then does nothing with them

Problem with phone calls over car aux

I hate making new threads but I can't seem to find an answer. Maybe I'm using the wrong keywords.
I use my N1 in my car alot. It's my main source for my music and hand's free calling while driving. I use the aux jack on my stereo to the N1 for music.
When I get a call it would ring though the speakers and I would touch the slider to accept the call. The caller would hear me crystal clear and I would hear them though the speakers just fine.
Now when I get a call, they can't hear me. They say I sound like I'm far far away. I can hear them just fine. But I look like a madman in my car screaming and yelling just to be heard.
So what I have to do now, is answer the call, and touch speaker, which only plays the voice though the speaker phone. They hear me crystal clear but sound is no longer going to the car speakers.
Anybody have this problem or know what's causing it or even a push in the right direction?

I have this excact same problem.
I came from a milestone using a standard 3.5mm audio jack and calls went really well. But when i tried my nexus, i got the same response, "sounds liek your far away".
I tried a few AUX cables but they all seem to do the same thing. So my solution was a aux cable with a built in mic.
I ended up modding the headphones that came with my nexus to get this working. Removed the earbuds and soldered a 3.5mm jack.
Now when i talk using that cable with a built in mic, ppl hear me very clearly. So i've jsut been using that cable since. I'm sure you can buy a premade aux cable with a mic at any local mobile audio store. I saw one at a BestBuy mobile here.
Hope this helps.

but the issue is that at one point it DID work normal with his nexus. i think what is going on here is the phone originally read the aux input as just standard audio output. but now its reading it differently somehow, i just dont know why. its almost like the difference when a phone thinks you have headset connected vs audio out connected with no mic support. no idea on a solution though...

I was thinking on buying the Belkin one with the mic right at the aux jack.

Exactly, it DID work. I can't pin point when it happened for me. I was thinking maybe it was when I went from Eclair to Froyo?

I'm almost positive that using the phone over Aux out broken with the update to Froyo. Has anyone tried this yet with Gingerbread on the N1 or with an NS? I'm hoping they fixed this, it's a really, really frustrating problem.
My fear is that everyone at Google got free car docks so they won't ever fix it because it's never a problem for them.

I also have the exact same problem. Thought it never worked for me, I only recently sets up my car mount with aux. Anybody found a solution?

[Q] Headphone Port Problems?

My wife has a Lumia 920. She's tried 2 different headphones and each has the same problem. If the jack is pushed all the way into the 920's port, the headphones do not connect properly. There is no audio in the headphones. Pulling the jack out of the port ever so slightly makes the connection and the audio is heard.
We're going to try a third set of headphones on her 920 and go to an AT&T store to try another 920 but I'm beginning to think this is a problem with this particular unit. Has anyone else had this kind of problem?

Only had the issue with the original headphones, not a different brand/kind. Called Nokia and they told me to go to the place I bought it at ..

we have two 920's and I tried three different sets of headphones (over ear, and in ear). There is no problem with connection to my Sennheiser and when I plug it into the phone it makes a noticeable click at the last stage of insertion. However, it seems not as tight with my Logitech and I can see that some may have problems. When I press the connector into the jack it disconnects sound, but as soon as I let go it's fine.
if I had the same problem you wife is experiencing I would probably return it.
edit:
I noticed that it is rather tough to push it all the way in. The last stage only snaps in with some more force. If you see any metal from the connector then it is not all the way in. In this state it's rather erratic depending on how far it's in.

3.5mm jack problems

Just wanted to check is anyone else is finding that headphones plugged into this jack often are not picked up by the phone and the speaker is used instead.
Happens both with my car AUX and my in ear Klipsch earphones, although if I jiggle the plug it sometimes works. The bundled headphones (MH750) so not seem to suffer this problem.
Is this a widespread problem or an issue with my handset?

the MH750 has 3 rings on the jack as a opposed to the 2 rings on the connector for your other headphones am I right? Having the extra ring on it (meant for the remote) may be what is adding the extra tightness when inserted. I'm not sure how to solve your AUX problem but you may need to try headphones which have a built in remote like the MH750 so that it has the extra ring on the connector. This may also be a defect, as I can not confirm since my device is still on it's way.
EDIT : After receiving the phone this happened to me once. You have to play around with the smart connect settings o disable it all together. It doesn't seem to be hardware related.

i have the same problem here .

[Q] Music in car

I used to listen to my songs using the AUX input with my Xperia Z1 in my car radio. But now, (I don't know if this ahve to do with upgrading to .757) it won't play and it says that the headphone isn't compatible. I'm just using a P2-P2 cable plugged in my AUX car's radio input and in my Z1 phone output

That is impossible. That cable have nothing sophisticated to tell to the phone that isn't compatible and the jack have audio out only. I use that system too in my car to listening Unz, Unz, Unz, and nothing strange jet. Somehow you have to get rid of that notification.

It works with my xperia neo. Also, neo's headset dont worlk with z1, but thats because they have microphone and the ground ring was changed in 2011+ xperia phones...

I can't plug my Z1 into my Makita site radio, it doesn't play anything through the AUX, although the phone seems to think it's got headphones plugged in. Tried a few cables, some newer and some older with no variation in results.
