Hello. I'm going to keep it brief. My phone's headphone jack has been messed up for a long time now (maybe a year, and I've had it for two years exactly). The left ear will have sound, and accessory will work, but the right ear is not working. As far as I know, there hasn't been any water inside the headphone jack, so I don't understand what's wrong with it. I'm running official firmware (latest), never rooted the phone or anything. Is there any way to test if the headphone jack is actually faulty? I don't want to pay 50$ to fix it, considering that I could get a chinese phone that performs similar if not better for like 100ish$. I remember I used the headphone jack normally in the morning, and when I went to plug my earbuds once I was done with classes, the right ear wasn't working.
Thanks!

Stupid question, have you tried other headphones?
Anyway, mono audio is usually caused when the jack is not fully inserted, try blowing some air in it and see if anything is stuck in there, For the jack to fully enter you should feel and hear a click. Post results here

Hey. Sorry for the late answer. Yeah I've tried with so many different headphones, even my Logitech G430. I guess it's the hardware itself. Can't say I didn't drop it from ear level on concrete so...
Please check if something is stuck there because it is really strange, also make sure you plug the jack all the way in. Other than that, there is not much else to do...

I tried multiple rom updates ( downgraded, upgraded ) and I cant get my speaker to work again after it suddenly stopped working today after listening to winamp.
Headphones work fine. I didnt hit, slam or throw it down so I really have no clue what this problem is... anyone have an idea ?
Most likely (I'm willing to bet) that your headphone jack is broken and thinks you still have your headphone inserted (Muting all noise on the phone's speaker). Try playing with the headphone jack by inserting and removing your headphone a couple of times. Some people had luck with that, I read one here recently someone cleaned their headphone port by blowing air in there and their phone speaker worked again. Good luck.
i had same thing happen to me today. yes, wiggle the headphone jack and you'll get your speaker back.
back to-resoldering the headphone jack (it's the 3rd time it becomes loose).
i've said this before -- the build/material quality of blueangel SUCKS.
Hi guys, I post this problem with a very heavy heart because I know somewhere inside that it's unfixable.
So, I sent my phone in for the unbrickable mod, all was successful, but now the headphone jack is absolutely not responding... I tried 4 roms, full format, kernel change, voodoo, nothing works... When I plug in an earphone, all sound still comes from the speaker... It's like no matter what, the earphone jack has stopped responding... Bluetooth earphones work fine, proximity sensor works fine, as it is my understanding that the headphone jack and proximity sensor connectors are linked... Everything else works perfectly.
Can somebody pls suggest a simple hardware or software solution that might help me? I could easily send it in for repairs, but I can't go without this phone for a week, again. This is currently my only smartphone, so if nothing else works, I will send it in, hopefully, by the end of November, when I get my nexus prime. In the meantime, any ideas??????

It's got to be a hardware issue. I've seen something similar to this for computers, but not Smartphones. Usually whatever component the headphone jack is soldered to is the part to get replaced and then it magically starts working. I can't imagine in any way that AdamOutler would accidentally break the headphone jack. Unless maybe there is a single wire he didn't put back together and its causing only the headphone jack not to work...just potential thoughts.
Unfortunately, your best bet is going to be to give it up for another week. I lost my Smartphone the past week due to Soft Bricking it and I went insane, so I know the feeling. JIG should be in the next couple days.
Good Luck!
Yea.. Nothing on Adam, he's been a huge help.. Just wondering if there was some sort of small adjustment I could do that will help... Otherwise I will just live with it for a couple of months n send it in when my nexus comes in.

So the sensor for my headphone jack is broken and my phone thinks I have headphones jacked in all the time. I need a way to disable the driver or have the phone not care about passing audio through the headphone.
I tried 2 apps form the market but they didn't work. It sounds like I need to put a 0 instead of a 1 somewhere ina script somewhere?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Did you flash an I9000 ROM without a reoriented kernel?
I'm %100 sure it's the 3.5 jack.
Sometimes it will work. And when it does the light sensor which turns the screen off when you put your finger over it will be on.
But when it stops working that is deactivated. This only happens when you actually have headphones in.
It completely stopped working. It will randomly work every once in awhile but it's more broken then not.
I need to really disable the 3.5mm headphone jack.
I have a similar problem, but with a twist...
Phone doesn't recognise any headphones connected to the 3,5mm connector.
Right channel makes barely audible low "dub..dub.." sound and the left is totally silent.
Not sure if these problems relate in any other way then the 3,5mm jack.
Tried different kernels with cyanogen & original roms.

Sorry if this is in the wrong area as far as the phone model is concerned, but search function in xda-app doesn't exactly specify on wich areas the results are.

bump, still need help on this matter.
More recently the headphone jack on my Note has not been working correctly unless I push the cable into the jack and then pull with my hand towards the screen (if you can imagine that)
If I dont do this I can still hear something but alot of the sound is muffled and it is a lot quieter, making the music impossible to listen to with out getting frustrated and wanting to throw it at the ground. Sometimes I can get it stuck in the right position and it works fine and I dont need to hold it.
Do you think it is broken or just dirty? I can take it apart and clean it, but I dont think I could replace it?
Any ideas? Have you had this before?

As far as I believe, it may not b just dirty, but the headphone jack has some issues..may b it was only dirty in the beginning, but now headphone jack would have become loose/not fitting the headphone pin correctly, because u are pulling the headphone jack with ur hand towards the screen, everytime..so better option would be service center
Hope I didnt confuse u..
May be 3.5 mm jack has become loose show it to a service center

Hi There everyone,
Well i just got my XPERIA Z1 yesterday and i had spilt water on it. All the flaps were closed and i had dried it all off. Afterwards (1 and a half hours later) i decided to listen to some music but the problem was that as soon as i inserted my headphones into the jack it would not play any sound from the headphone itself, it would only play the sound from the phone's speakers. The headphones were working perfectly normal in the morning when i was using the phone before i spilt the water. I assumed that the headphone jack had not fully dried so i left it for about 3-4 hours and now as soon as i plugged in my headphones the same problem came. I tried the original sony headphones that came in the box and there is a strange static/buzzy coming from the headphone and yet the sound would slightly play from the phones speakers. I do not know what to do and this is not exactly what i expected from a waterproof phone.
THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE: I have updated my phones software to the latest, i have tried switching it off and on again and tried using both sony headphones including the original one.
If anybody comes up with a solution to this i would be extremely grateful.

get a q-tip or earbud and clean and make sure the inside of the headphone jack is completly clean and dry.
I highly doubt it would have not dried after so many hours, i live in a hot country and i just came from outside and i tried again, and yet i am still facing problems.
can anybody please help? Am i the only one who is experiencing this???
this has been discussed many times, it seems to be a software fault possibly due to smart connect, unless you indeed have a defective unit. try turning on and off smart connect and the profiles associated with your headphones, that did it for me.
hi i put some water on my z1 and the headphone jack is no longer working as the headphones are not getting detected, any sound comes through the speakers and not the heaphones. can anybody hep?

Sounds like a defective unit (i.e. water seeps into the headphone jack).

Firstly, ensure that the Event(s) are turned on in Smart Connect.
Secondly, it could possibly be because of your defective jack that the phone is unable to detect your headphone being plugged in, and that's why the Event is not triggered.

I have hardware problem (i think). Tried changing firmware, cleaning jack etc...still not working. So the question is: if the water really damaged jack, can replacing it fix the problem?
