Headphone Jack issues - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone just wanted to know if anyone else is having issues with their headphone Jack on the Vibrant? I plug in my headphones but I always have to fiddle with it to get them to work. I have tried multiple headphones to see if this was the problem yet every one I tried the same issue came up.

LMAO same thing happened to me when I first got it

My problem is a little different. I have skull candy headphones with a MIC and sometimes the music will turn on by itself and I'll have to turn it off via the button on the MIC. This happens quite often when it is loud around me or windy(while I am driving). Anyone have a clue why this happens?

3.5mm jack problems

Just bought my second AMAZE. Rooted & S-OFF yesterday. Don't kno if it is from rooted or just a hardware issue. ANYBODY ELSE!!!!!!!
what's your problem?
My Headphones. Keep disconnecting. And I tried two different headphones
Both headphones work on my glacier so I kno its the phone itself. Just curious if anybody else encountered the same problem if not then its definitely an hardware issue.
I'm starting to have the same issue, my bro had this.problem as well. It is a hardware issue

I usually use BlueTooth but i remember the batt being a bit flat so i plugged in to the jack and it seemed a bit cracklely.. Sounds like a common fault.

No mine does not work at all when you plug in the headphone jack normally, I have to plug it in slowly untill it works

On one of mine on headphones with mic and button, button click in not recognized.
On another works just fine.
Tried 3 different headphones – same result.
Installed app to detect/configure clicks – it doesn’t see any button clicks.
Headphones and mic works fine on both – means every ring on 3.5 jack has proper contact.
What else could it be?
I can plug super slowly – the icon changes from headphones to headphones with mic.
But button doesn’t work still
I see I'm not the only one with this problem I'm just surprised cause my phone was only one day old. My wife has the same phone non rooted will check hers tonight when I get home from work. If hers work I'm just going to swap it out and see if still has the problem.
OK so I stopped home reel quick and checked my wife's phone and her non rooted phone jack does the same thing so its either the OTA UPDATE or they just gave us a crappy jack port to all phones
I'm testing it out on my phone right now. What is it that I'm looking for because everything is working here for me.
Well I'm listening to a song on YT though.
Don't know if that makes a difference.
The headphones keep connecting & disconnect like every couple of seconds. It will not hold a steady connection for the headphones.
mine was fine before OTA, now i got the same problem
Some headphone got compatibility problems n usually gold tips don't have probs with any phone or mp3

[Q] Headphone jack

So I recently noticed that when i plug in an aux cable (and headphones) it take no force to take it out. It Kind of Just slips out. I also dont think it goes in all the way. Is Anyone having or had this problem? i listen to music all the time so im thinking about getting a replacemt if mine is the only one doing it. It is verizon.

I have the Verizon version and just tried it. I had to push it pretty hard until it clicked in. Try that and see if it works for you.

I'm on Sprint and mines does not do that! Maybe it's a Verizon thing

I have the Sprint one, and I definitely need to use more effort than I expected to remove the cable. Yours might be defective.

there's 3 various volume settings - the first one is for the ringer - when you plug in your headphones, the media volume activates once you select a video (ie youtube) - the 3rd is for notifications - when you click the volume rocker click the gears to the right and you will see all 3 to adjust independently of each other.

Headphones

I just purchased the Optimus G and tried inserting Samsung 3.5 Mm earbuds into the phone. No audio came through unless I jammed the connector as far as I could into the phone. I just tried headphones from Jabra and Creative, and the same problem is present. It seems like the jack is not "clicking" when I try to connect the headphones. Does anyone else have this problem? Do I need some special headphones for this thing? I saw another thread that was similar, but the description was not quite the same.
Mine clicks in although it is tight.

Speaker squeal?

I haven't seen a thread like this but its really annoying. When I plug my phone into certain speakers and the data arrows come on, a loud squealing noise come from the speakers. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem?

It's feedback from the 4G radios interfering with the amp I believe. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong though.

Aside from that? Due to this phones limited onboard storage I frequently stream music from my Google Play account. And its kinda hard to do that in airplane mode lol

try connecting to wifi if you can. It is interfering with the speaker.
I know my gaming headset crackels whenever I get a text message without it being connected to the headset, it is just interfering with the speakers

Its actually not headphones. I use the beats that came with my Rezound. Its only with speakers it seems like

Sounds like it only seems to happen on low impedance speakers/inputs. You might just need to stick with headphones or use some kind of external pre-amp. This is somewhat disappointing news, although I don't listen to music from my phone much.
Noticed crackling and static when on 4G streams of Pandora. Happens with headphones or hooked up to a mixer and speakers (higher impedance). Doesn't happen with the WiFi enabled for streaming, so I'm going to say Argumentation's explanation seems spot on... Just thinking out loud here, but would there be a way to slow down to 3G speeds for streaming? Sounds counter-intuitive as far as speed is concerned, but if it's the 4G that's causing interference, then maybe that will take care of it?

DNA headphone jack issue

My headphones most times won't connect with the phone. I have to pull it in and out few times to get the phone to recognize that the headphones are in. I know its not the headphones or the Rom. What could be causing this and would there be a way to fix this?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Do u have a case on the phone, my case I have I have to make sure the jack pushes in all they way or it won't connect or could be that the jack on the phone is getting loose or wore out if you use headphones alot.

Honestly it sounds like a dirty head phone jack. And in your case I would use something a little moist, not really wet at all and clean it out.

I have the same issue, but used that as an excuse to get bluetooth earphones

I just had this issue when I (half-brained) decided to clean the ports out on my DNA with a soft-bristle toothbrush, since my font LED was extremely dim. After cleaning some lint out of the jack, I must've left some in, as it took some cycles of plugging in and unplugging earphones to get it working again. Haven't had trouble since.
Had this same issue. Use a needle and carefully pry the 2 little tabs inside for better contact.

I had the same issue with both my old DNA and my current one. I actually warrantied out my old one because of the issue my current one I managed to fix. I was reading online (i googled the issue) and found a couple other people had the same problem. I work for an IT company that uses the Square Card readers to accept credit cards so I HAD to get the issue fixed. Someone suggested using compressed air, aka canned air, and spray into the jack. Worked like a dream. Haven't had an issue since I did this.
If none of the cleaning tips work, there is an app called SoudAbout on the Play Store. You can use it too force the audio through the jack even if your phone doesn't recognize they're plugged in. The free version is all I've used. Link
