I have an issue with my headphone Jack constantly switching on and off when nothing is plugged in so the volume control keeps popping up and nothing plaslys through the speaker. Does anyone know how to completely disable the headphone port? I already removed the Jack itself and it did nothing. Anyone have any ideas? O also tried all the Widgets and none of them worked.
Have you tried fixing permissions, or wiping the phone? See if that helps the problem at all.

I've tried hard resets, custom roms, custom recovery's, clearing cache and everything else. nothing has helped it so far.
Anyone else got ideas?
Your headphone jack might be dirty.
-Take a cue tip.
-Cut in in half lengthwise (So it is thinner, not shorter)
-Dip the cue tip in rubbing alcohol,
-Stick cue tip in headphone jack and twist around and thrust in and out (Haha)
-Let dry for an hour
-??????
-Profit!
I already said i took it apart and cleaned it, even went so far as removing the headphone port completely but the phone still switches back and fourth into headphone mode. I'm looking for a way to completely disable the headphone port in the software of the phone, I've got a custom ROM on it so it's open for tweaking.
I don't ever use the headphone port so I just want it disabled and turned off in the software.
I think i disabled it on a hardware level. I got fed up with it and disabled it by disassembling the phone and back tracing the electronics finding two resistors in path to the rest of the electronics for the headphone port and removed them. Headphone port seems disabled now

My problem has been deduced to fairly specific causes that I have not found in the any threads.
I had my phone plugged in a sound system via the headphone jack. After unplugging it my phone will not recognize that it is unplugged. Neither my internal earpiece nor the mics will pick up sound. If I plug headphones into the jack again sound will come out and i can also turn on the speaker phone and hear sound but the phone seems to function only as if there is a headset attached to the phone. I have tried reflashing ShOstock 1.9. Did not work. Also, one funny thing I have yet to figure out is that when I plug headphones or anything into the headphone jack the music player automatically loads. any clue?
I am running SHOstock 1.9. No other mods. Phone was bought Black friday of 2011.
Thanks for any help offered or pointed in the right direction.
It could be that the connections that detect the plug inside of the jack got dirty... try using a qtip with most of the cotton removed dipped in rubbing alcohol to clean it. Although since you say that if you plug something in the music player loads makes me think different. So also try a nandroid backup in CWM, then wipe data/factory reset+re-flash.

Thanks for the help! I tried cleaning it just now and to no avail. I did the factory reset and reflashed, and it still doing the same thing. It is quite puzzling...I'm thinking about calling Samsung and seeing what they say. Or maybe AT&T...
It could possibly be a bad internal connection to the headphone jack, but I'm not sure about it. Most of the time the only part that goes bad is the usb port...
Hey guys I need some help.
I noticed the last few days that my headphone jack in my phone is not working any more. Basically what happens it that when I'm trying to play music on Winamp, all I get is some crackling noises and a very feint noise of the song playing in the background. When trying to play a podcast in Beyondpod, I just get no audio at all. These things do work when playing out of my speaker, however.
I am on Jokersax CM9 v 0.6.1. I don't have enough posts to post in that forum to see if it was related to that ROM or not, but I don't believe it was.
I'm guessing this is a hardware issues and may not be able to be fixed but I wanted to see if you guys had some ideas first.
Thanks!
what gives you the idea it may be a hardware issue? Have you tried cleaning out the headphone jack with say a can of air?
you can buy a new back cover / chassis housing / speaker / antennae / audio jack for cheap on ebay, and it replaces pretty easy, the actual audio jack cable to the motherboard is a bit more involved of a replacement but it can be done also, there are youtube guides on replacing digitizers and that process gets you all the way to the volume / audio jack / camera cable.
I had this same issue once. There was a very tiny piece of paper/pocket lint shoved into the bottom of the jack. Find the smallest tweezers you can or use a paperclip and some patience to remove it if you find anything.
Have you tried using different earphones?
Try switching to CM7, when I was on CM9 my earphones were glitchy also. They would randomly stop playing, sometimes every minute sometimes every 10 minutes.
If it doesn't work try doing what the guy above me said. Try his first, it seems the easiest haha
Whenever I connect my phone to my car stereo via AUX, I'll have to unplug/re-plug the cable multiple times for it to register. Basically, it'll continue to play through the phone speaker(s) instead of coming through the stereo. I've tried multiple music players & even tested the cable itself on my old Rezound & iPod and it's working fine with them(it's not the cable).
Is there some setting to fix this?
May sound stupid, but do you have a case that may be keeping the plug from going all the way in.

there are no stupid questions here my friend.
and no, it's a soft case with enough room around the jack. the cable plugs in securely.
When mine is connected with no case I get a constant fuzzy static noise unless I hold the side where the red grill is then it goes away
What Rom are you running? Is it stock unrooted or a custom Rom, if rooted what kernel are you running?

I should have mentioned... just got the phone a few days ago. It's still stock everything(haven't bothered unlocking/rooting/etc yet)
I had this same issue two months back. I did two things, i don't remember which did it.
Take a cotton swab and put a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol on it. Stick it in the aux port. Don't overuse the alcohol. Next, blow into the aux port. I had a small hair inside the port, causing the headphone jack/aux to not register.
I tried flashing several roms before i found out the simple issue lol. Let me know if this helps, my friend.
I had this problem and then I took the ota and it disappeared...

I think this is it. My phone did it yesterday and today. Both times I unplugged it, blew in the aux hole and on the stereo cable, and then it worked. Probably small piece of hair or dust in there.
This shouldn't be a problem with a new phone, but on previous phones/mp3 players I owned (ones that actually fit into a pocket) I ended up having to clean the inside of the aux plug with a paper clip (or any small thin object that wont break in there) from all the pocket lint that gathered in it.
well i tried cleaning the slot but it didn't help.
i have noticed that if i leave the screen on, plug in the cable & wait a few seconds, it registers.
any other way and it doesn't really work well/at all.
I just had this problem happen to me too...
My headphone jack has been fine since I bought the phone on release day, well yesterday after a walk, I pulled the headphone plug from the jack and noticed my music was still playing but through the phone speaker... weird.
well in my friends car I wanted to use her aux input and it didn't register (aka show the headset icon in status bar), nor did it play through the car, only the phone speakers...
same thing when I tried in my car. Also tried again with the iBeats I used when it first happened... nothing.
I tried the cotton swab thing (most cotton swabs are too think though xD) and used compressed air to blow any hairs or specs out of it...
I can get headphones to register now, but I have to plug it in veerryy sloowwllyy ... :/
thing that sucks is I don't have a warranty... I mean maybe the stock HTC one but no verizon or 3rd party warranty
Hi guys.
I have had this issue for awhile and have put it off thinking it was a headphone cable issue but it's not.
I have already tried cleaning with contact cleaner and rubbing alcohol.
My issue is that my phone will trigger "Google voice" search just by slight movement at the cable /jack junction. This is insanely annoying considering I bought this phone due to its audio prowess.
It will also automatically pause or change tracks with the same jack/cable movement.
I am Canadian and bought this from HK via ebay. I am one of those who almost never bother with warranties but obviously would seeing as I spend near a grand on this thing. How would I begin on a warranty claim?
Thanks.
Seems to be a common issue, unfortunately. I haven't really found a way to fix it yet.
How new is your device?
What type of finish is on the end of the cables ends?
I use this cable with almost no issue. Once in a while it will trigger voice when I plug in. But that's all.

I've also got a phone from HK prior to release in my country and have been struggling with this.
It looks to me that this is because of the way the phone detects your device. I've that the headphones that comes with the device and other earbuds works with no problems, but my bigger M40X for example have this.
The best solution I've found so far is this: plug it and leave it (not moving it at all) for about 10 seconds. After this the problem seems solved most of the time.
Unplugging and re plugging it several times also worked sometimes at the begging, but it was very frustrating and probably not so good for the longevity of the jack.
I'm actually about to make a factory reset for other reasons, but I'll post here if it makes any difference.
UPDATE: The factory reset did not fix the issue, but I have the impression it's triggering the high gain with my m40x as now I've noticed increased volume and no difference to when doing that trick of plugging the detachable cable first to the phone and then to the headset. Don't ask...
I had this issue a few times on my previous phone (Droid Maxx) when in the car, as I was plugging it in (usually when there was turbulence). I thought it was due to the tip of the plug contacting one of the other contacts in the jack. See this link for what the different parts of a headphone/mic combo plug or jack are. I'm not sure if your cable has all of those, but if the wrong ones touch maybe it triggers the mic to listen. Or internally your cable may be shorting between the different signals. Just spitballing ideas.
You know what guys, a friend of mine really liked my phone and got one as well. So when he got it I asked to him to test the jack problem with my headphones and it was simply not there. I do suspect this is a problem with the device. I'll try to get in touch with LG a second time for support (as the first time they asked me to get back to the country where I got it, the Philippines, and this is not really an option).

Funny you mentioned the volume increase. That is a trick I learned from someone in another thread as the standard gain setting for low impedance headphones was too weak. That made a vast improvement in volume and was a life saver because I bought this phone specifically for its audio abilities.
As for the Google voice thing the only thing I found that worked was going under apps and disabling the Google app which is ridiculous considering it kills Google on tap which is a big feature of android.
I am pretty sure this is being trigggered by the jack somehow engaging a contact. Explains why it's triggered when I move.
Drives me nuts. Read somewhere that MM fixed this but not for me. I will try enabling Google app and uncheck all the voice options and see if this helps.
You know what, after struggling long with this I've finally gathered the balls to buy a headphone jack part and replace it myself. I've done it with my old Nexus 4 (the jack actually broke there).
It takes a while to arrive, but I'll perform the change and post the result here.
Where I got it from:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/122034019463
I sometimes have the voice recognition and volume issue, but for me it appears to be an issue with my headphones (Bose MIE2i). I don't have the issue with any other headphone or cable. I have this issue when I fiddle with the in-line controls of the Bose (both this and the 1st pair of Bose). My belief was that it was due to poor shielding of conductors in the controller or shoddy wiring connections.
Did u ever solve the problem with replacement? Im having issues with left and right volume. Like a shorted cable, but bought new phones & still doing that.
Just in case anyone is still suffering from this problem, I made a discovery today. I've replaced the headphone jack in my v10 3 times thinking that they're just ****ty headphone jacks that break all the time, but in my case at least the fault wasn't the contacts inside the jack itself. I found that my problem was actually related to the push-down connector that clips to the motherboard. I had a hunch that keeping the phone in my pocket with headphones connected was slowly rocking it back and forth and would eventually disconnect it. In order to add more clamping pressure to the connector, I put 3 small slices of electrical tape on top of it before screwing the back down. On my walk home today, the left earphone would disconnect with literally every step that I made. After putting the electrical tape in the problem was solved.
I don¨t use my headphones very often with my phone but when I do I always have problems. Putting it all the way in, I only get sound from one headphone/speaker. Pulling it out and then in again and the phone speakers stars sounding. Rotating the headphone connector and pulling it out and putting it back in usually resolves the issue after a while. I have cleaned my jack with alcohol and compressed air but this doesn't seem to make any difference. And the headphone jack can't possible be worn. Anyone else had this problem?
I´m having the same issue, hopefully we´ll get some reply with a fix.
