Headphone jack loose/broken - Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Questions & Answers

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

headphone jack busted?

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

headphone port problem- Warranty possible?

I bought a galaxy s on ebay, was like new a week old.
Found it to be very fast and amazing but the headphone port seems to be having problems. only one side of the headphones work for some reason and if i twist the headphone jack inside the port and hold it at a certain place occasionally both work.
Have tested in 4 different set of earphones which are fully working and I get the same problem. If I unroot my phone and ask the seller for the original reciept will I be able to get the phone repaired under warranty?
thanks
My usb port didnt work anymore after a week i got this phone. It was sent back rooted and had unofficial firmware. They replaced the port for free however. You need the receipt though..
The samsung employee told me they didn't care about unofficial software. The procedure to make everything default is a 10 sec job
You replacement will be under factory warranty, just like mine

I had same problem. Brought it to SC and they found out headset was faulty. Replaced headset. Headset/accessories only 6 months warranty. So go get it checked out. They didn't even check the phone. So I won't worry too much about custom roms unless you really have an issue with the phone itself.
God bless.
Thanks for the replies. Found out it was due to the fact that the gel case I have on my phone prevented the headphone Jack going all the way into the port. Stupid mistake I know but at least I know its now sorted.

Wobbly Audio Jack -- does anybody else have this issue?

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.

Chargingport problem

Hello!
I own the P9 since several month, but my usb-c calbe suddendly started to get loose and fell out very easy (but charged like normal) , so I bought 2 new one Amazon, with the same issue. A friend of mine also got the P9 with the same problem.
So my question is, is it the charging port or the cheap cables? I know how to change the port, but before I will do that I want to know if someone has the same problems as me? :/
I've never had an issue with mine regardless of which cable I use. I would say it is the port. Only a guess though.

Well it is also my guess too, but also a friend of mine has the same problem.. that is the thing that confuses me the most.. can u try something for me? Can u possibly put the usb-c connector into your phone and shake it a litte bit on the calbe, does it fall of? (Please try this on your bed or on somewhere where your phone can t get damaged )
Cause mine always falls from the connector.. my phone must lie down on a flat surface, without any shaking.
Do u even know a good company where i can buy a replecement parts? (German/Austria)
Just had a quick try for you. Whilst there is a bit of movement up and down on the port it doesn't come loose. When I put in any cable there is a bit of a click that keeps it secure. As for parts, I would give eBay a try.
Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Thank you very much!
Well I could manage to finde some, but I don't know, if I can trust the sellers.
With shipping I found one for about 21€ , du you think it is too much?
On Amazon I also found one for about 15€, but there is no one who can tell me if it is really the right one. :/
I know how it should look like, but i don not know the difference in the sice (P9lite & P9+).
What would you do?
With eBay I tend not to purchase off anyone that has less than 95% feedback. Can't say if that is expensive or not unfortunately. I would take the one from Amazon with it being cheaper, just go off the reviews on Amazon. I don't think there is any difference with the charging port between the different models.
Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
In my phone the USB-C Cabel falls out to, but only sometimes. Other times it sits rock solid. I think it could be independent from phone to phone. You could try cleaning it with air if there is dust inside.
Well on Amazon there are no reviews for this product. :/
Unfortuately I really don't trust ebay.
My cable falls out with every single move. If I'm lying on my bed, watching some movies -> it falls out really easy wihtout touching or shaking the device. :/
The real hard question is.. is it the port or the cable. Once i got a calbe from a company called "Anker" it cost about 10€ and it was fitting perfect. (Unfortunately my dog killed it )
I guess I ll buy a new one from the same company and will try it, if not.. well then i have to open my phone anyway.
So guys, thanks for your great support, have a nice time!

Phone not recognized by PC and it says device has malfunctioned

Hi guys. I recently used a questionable charger with my phone (leeco le 2 x526) and since then it has been problem after problem with the USB port. Immediately after that charge, the phone stopped charging with the supplied quick charging brick. It won't even charge slowly. The phone behaves like the charger is being plugged in and out about five times and then completely stops as if the charger is no longer detected. However ,when I put it in a normal slow Samsung charger, it charges to the end without disconnecting.
It's not only the charging that's not working. A Windows PC I have connected the phone to before doesn't recognize it so mtp doesn't work. The PC says the device has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. Lately the phone has started rebooting randomly so it seems like I need to fix it soon.
Also, when I plug in headphones using the 3.5mm dongle, I hear crackling sounds for the first few seconds and Jack detection doesn't work sometimes until I reboot. Sounds play okay when it's detected. The microphone and media control buttons on headset have stopped working and I hear static when I press the buttons on my headset, sometimes it's quiet.
I'm pretty sure the USB board is the one that's damaged but want to know if anyone else has faced this issue. If it's the USB+mic board that's damaged I'll order one on AliExpress. I found it for like 8 bucks.
I'm thinking I have a hardware failure because since it started acting up, I tried to flash a ROM clean and got an error in TWRP. The flashing finished but I saw a red error message:
Code:
rcv error in uevent
I googled and this error occurs when the kernel fails to initialize a hardware component.
Has anyone experienced the same problem? I don't want to replace the board without a second opinion.
I believe that you are definitely on the right track with the replacing board, this same exact issue happened to me once on my first Leeco X727. In my case I was lucky enough that Amazon agreed to exchange it for a new phone. Without a doubt, many Le Pro 3 owners have seen this exact issue. Your questionable charger possibly shorted out the USB card.
I would strongly suggest that you replace the battery, while you are at it, it will also be very cheap.
You will need to use a Heat gun to remove the display without damaging the LCD, there are many videos on youtube that demonstrate the quick sweeping technique and the glue will easily release enough that the screen will come off simply by turning the phone onto its face side.
While you can also use a hairdryer, you will need to run a guitar pick along the edge of the screen to remove the display and it's very easy to damage the LCD...I did! Consequently, I bought a heat gun at harbor freight for $ 7 dollars, to easily the display on a friends X720.
Good Luck.
PS : Did you receive your Le Pro 3 yet?

Thank you so much for this advice. I will replace this board and see if it solves the problem. About the heat gun, I don't know if I will use it much after this repair so I'll take the phone to my friend who has a repair shop to change it for me.
One quick question... Is there a high possibility of damaging the battery during this repair? I don't want to replace it if I don't have to because mine is still pretty good and keeps like a new one. I don't have much luck with AliExpress because the original batteries for Le 2 cost almost $150 to ship. The rebranded batteries cost less to ship (~$10) but I don't know which one is reliable.
My Le pro 3 is still in transit. I reckon it's still about 2 weeks away because shipping takes very long to my country. I'm just now going through the various development threads to find a good ROM for it. Thanks again -- you're a godsend ???.

No problem.
The battery is underneath the heat shield so it will not be affected by the heat gun.
Attached are pictures of my LeEco Pro 3 with and without the main heat shield...On the far left

I flashed a ROM from 4pda and totally messed the phone up. That ROM failed to boot and to make matters worse, it formatted my data partition. Everything is gone including my backups and I cannot transfer a new OS to the phone because my USB port doesn't work. The only thing I can do now is to shelve this phone until the replacement USB board arrives. You have been of great help and I appreciate it extremely. I'm using a feature phone now until my pro 3 comes. To use any Android app I have to share my wife's phone which just sucks. (She barely puts the damn thing down)

No doubt we never realize how much we rely on these devices until they are gone.
You will definitely love the Le Pro 3, it is much more powerful, and the camera is phenomenal.

Absolutely true. I have a new found appreciation for my phone. Now that I think about it, with the time I spend on it I think some digital detox is in order.
I received the USB board from AliExpress but it is incompatible with x526. Anybody with information on where I can get a board for x526 please share it here. All USB boards on AliExpress are for x620 and they can't work on x526.
I am actually thinking about looking for the x526 board in India because that's where the phone was built for. I just haven't figured out how to go about it. But I reckon there is a lot more need for spare parts there because of the high number of people using the phone.

X620 and x526 are quite different. These two phones share the same case, battery and LCD screen, nothing else.

My le 2 is finally back to full working condition thanks to you. This USB board doesn't look used at all. The best part is that mtp and fast charging are working again.
