Alright, this took me off guard as it was an "accidents".
So, this is how it went,
I was in a parked car drinking juice, somehow i spilled the juice on myslef and it went in me jeans pocket, while my phone was upside down in my pocket, i didnt notice it olny after a min so i dried ot up with tissues and i went home, upon reaching home i inspected my phone and this was the damage, my speaker was rattling if played music the s-pen was soaked and i didnt knew anything about the headphone jack.
So, i start drying it with tissues, i rolled some tissues and shoved it in the s-pen jack and its working all fine and i blowdried the speaker and its working fine now but after i cleaned the headphone jack with tissues, well its not working, when i plug my headphones in the phone does not recognise the headphones at all and it plays music throught the speaker,
WHAT DO I DOOO. PLEASE HELP.
EDIT: this is around 7 -8 hours after the accident and the headphone jack is now perfectly fine,it just needed time to fully dry
So, if you happen to have the same problem as i did
Please, just roll a tissue and shove it in the jack and roll it around do it a couple of times and just let your phome to sit , and your phone should be perfectly fine.

Hi,
yesterday I plugged the headphones jack off my Nexus. Something inside the phone "poped" and since then when I plug the jack back in the jack is loose. Music goes to the headphone only when I push the jack very hard inside. When I let loose the jack loosens and the music goes through the speaker. I guess something went wrong with somekind of a "holder" that keeps the jack inside while plugged in. What can I do about it? Is it possible to fix it by myself or it's better to find service for this?
Thank a lot, will appreciate your help. (Today I am a bit desperate about this problem)
Check for lint. Yours could be a real problem, but mine does that from time to time and it's always lint. The last time it happened, I shined a light inside but couldn't see a darn thing but when I carefully stuck a paperclip in, gently pushed it to the side against the inner wall of the jack and pulled it back out, there was a piece of lint on the end.
hi, i noticed that my headphone jack starts to not always recognize the headphone after i pluged them im. Sometimes i need to spinn them around the jack. Also When i have my smartphone in my pocket with earphone plugged in and i walk around it sometimes looses the connection. Does anyone have noticed it also? Or did i loose some contact from headphone jack to "mainboard"... ?
Someone found out that there are lints in the jack which can't be blowing out by air. So he took a paperclip bended it up and pulled the lints out with one end of the bended up paperclip. After this he blows again in the jack just to get sure all lints are out and booted his phone. All his problems are gone.
But make sure your phone is off. If not you maybe can get an electrical short in your jack!
Maybe this helps you.
@ICuaI: Thanks a lot! now it works perfect! Cellphone hygieni... .
I cleared it out witrh a forceps and with rolled toilet paper dipped in ethanol. I think i still can see a bit of dust. but ill wait untill i get better tools
.
Thanks a lot !!!
My 3.5 mm audio output has been having increasing problems and it won't recognize most jacks anymore, including my earphones. Do you know of any trick to make it work, or would I need to replace the part completely to have it working again?
I think it depends on the kind of issue you see.
Example:
My audio jack was not working when I received my used Droid 4 from the USA.
I realized that my headphones are not deep enough in the phone. When I push them in a bit more they worked properly, but hey flip out as soon I touch the cable or I move.
1. Look if the Headphone jack is dirty and clean it up: h**ps://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/85247/p/30,6720,8096/c/8149,8172
2. If its cleaned and still not working its probably a hardware issue. ( Now you need to find whats broken / not working )
- A weak point is that the feeds of headphone jack are only pushed against the mainboard. I can imagine that carrying the phone in the pocket will bend that feeds. Meaning if you try to use the headphone jack outside of the pocket it will not work properly. You can try to push from the outside of the headphone jack to see if they work then properly. If yes... you need to disassembly the phone... and bend the feeds of the headphone jack back so that they get contact with the mb again.
- In my case after cleaning the headphone jack, the plug still didn't fit into the jack properly. I didn't want to open the Phone since ifixit says its a mess. So I tried to fix it without replacing it. I pushed a pice of toothpick into it to widen the deepest part of the jack. That fixed my Headphone jack. But the risk is there that you completely mess up the jack and you have to replace it completely.
Try at your own risk!
It is VERY easy for lint, dust, and grime to get stuck in the audio input socket. It's happened to my phone several times, since the audio jack isn't covered by any sort of cap. If you turn the phone off, shine a light into the socket, and (gently) dig around with a safety pin, you should be able to get most of the gunk out. It'd surprise you, how much lint can get stuck in there!
If you can find something to cover the audio input socket with, even better.
It was just dirty after all - I had like 3 mm worth of lint inside
I was worried it's some HW issue because different jacks responded differently... Glad it's not I use BT HF most of the time (with 3,5 jack output for headphones), but sometimes I like to plug the phone into my speakers, plus BT isn't that comfy for watching video...
Pipe cleaner wasn't very helpful, but a pin did the trick
Thanks for your help, guys!

It could be a software or hardware problem. Very rarely music fails to play on mine but it is fixed when I restart my phone. However, after heavy use the headphone jack does wear down quite easily.
Try replugging the headphone or resetting the phone and playing music again, or blowing into the headphone jack with an air blower. Cotton swab can help clean the inside but may also introduce more dust. Also try cleaning the plug and then spinning the headphone plug around; if is damaged you may need to have it at a certain angle and pull it out slightly.
The headphone jack is probably my biggest problem this phone it's broken on me twice. After constant use, the headphone jack gets a bit too deep and buzzes on the left side when a plug is inserted all the way in. When I went to Taiwan last summer I had it repaired (took them about a week) and it worked fine for a few months but then the same problem came back. Well, it got worse because I accidentally dropped the phone with headphones plugged in - the second time on soft carpet and it still caused this problem. Hope to have it repaired the next time I go to Taiwan.
Hello,
Maybe someone can give any tips in regards to the issue below. with my nokia 8
So few days ago my phone speakers started sounding distorted, I thought that it may be because water got in the speakers, as I put it on the counter by a shower, but even then the water it could of gotten was minimal due to the shower curtain and yeah. Well now the speakers are completely offline. I haven't installed no apps or updates.
Today after sound was already gone, I tried some apps that disable headphone jack, which ofc didn't work.
The earpiece is working and mic is working as well. When I plug in headphones, those work as well.
The weird thing is I tried blowing into headphone jack and I got sound for a brief period of time.
Now started more testing and well when I apply air pressure (covering headphone jack with my mouth and applying small amount of pressure) speakers work. Tried cleaning the headphone jack and nothing, only when air pressure is applied it works.
As a tech guy I can't imagine what could be wrong in this case, as there are no visible signs of water in the jack, there is nothing physically wrong with the phone other than the lack of sound and why would applying air pressure fix it and how to permanently fix it without warranty. I don't want to take it to warranty as the service usually takes a long time and I can't do with a temp/spare phone right now.
Hopefully someone can help me out,
Thank you
Even though your phone might have been only a bit splashed, humidity from the steamed bathroom could easily get inside, since Nokia 8 is only IP54 certified.
Try drying it like a water dumped phone. Turn it off, take out the SIM card tray and put the phone in rice. Let it lay down for at least a day. It might work, but if it won't, well, you might need a repair service.
well for oxidation you don't need to drop your phone into toilet, even small humidity can brake your phone, electronic is very sensitive
