[Q] Replacing 3.5mm jack? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently my 3.5 mm jack has in my opinion died. No matter what headphone, aux cord or newly flashed rom I try it just has extremely distorted and a staticy sound. Super sad because I use my phone for music all the time. Is there any way to replace this part? Is there something I'm missing or haven't tried? Thanks!

Try calling Samsung.

Aria sound quality through headphones really bad

I don't understand why my headphones sound amazing when connected to a computer or my ipod, but when it's playing the music on my aria it sucks. I'm not asking to make my phone louder or my speakers louder or anything. I just want to know why it sounds so bad connected to my headphones
Does it happen with any headphones or just that one pair of headphones?
Have you tried cleaning out the headphone jack on the phone? (i.e., check for any lint or anything stuck inside and pull out with tweezers)

[Q] Headphone Jack Problem

Phone: Samsung Galaxy SII (obviously)
Custom Rom: Cyanogen (ICS version - not sure which)
Problem: Some headphones & microphone socket speakers do not work properly with my headphone jack. All x-mini speakers will take ages to work after plugging into the headphone jack, I will usually need to twiddle it around a lot or take it out and plug it in again to get any response. After it does work, twisting the headphone connector will change the volume of the speakers/headphones. This is the same case with 'JVC HAFX1X Xtreme Xplosives In Ear Canal Headphones', these will often not work for a while, and when they do I will have to twiddle the headphone connector to actually get any bass. This is a real annoyance considering I cannot have my phone in my pocket without the headphone connector getting taped and me losing the bass in my music.
Things I've tried so far: Checking the headphone jack for traces of dust/fluff, cleaning the headphone jack using a cotton bud
As a side note, the only headphones that do work perfectly every time are the 'Sony MDR-V150 headphones'
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.
Bump.
bump again :/

Not the normal headphone jack issues...

I'm having trouble with my headphone jack. Audio only comes out if I start the sound on the speaker and then plug in. If I start with the headphones in I get nothing. Its odd. Running the new AOKP. Has been an issue since before that though. Not the usual static or tight jack problem.

Phone's Headphone jack is damaged

Hi, the plug of my headphones that came with the phone was bent a few weeks ago and at first there was no problem. But after a while the audio stopped working in one of the earphones so i tried with a different set of headphones, just to discover that with them the audio is completely distorted. My guess is that the bent headphones damaged the inside of my phone's jack.
Does anyone knows how to fix the phone's jack?

what is your exact problem?? the audio came distorced or the audio jack dont play any sound trought it??
if they come distorced i belive you really damage your 3,5mm headphone jack, so the fix is to replace it (hope you dont damage the DAC too because they could happen).
- if one pair of headphones dont look good then you need to know to avoid use it, you now know that! i dont really know what the problem could be but, in worst case you damage the phone itself!

The problem is distorced audio (with good headphones)
And what do you mean by damaging the DAC?

V10 have a dedicated audio chip, if you get the sound distorced with the Hi-Fi option turned on maybe the DAC is damaged, if dont try to insert the headphones and turn on the hi-fi option in your quick toogles.

Smartphone thinks there is always something connected to 3.5mm jack.

So on my 3 month old Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro SE is having some problems with the headphone jack. For some reason, it behaves like there are always headphones connected to it. So If I don't have anything connected and try to play a sound, no sound is coming from the speaker. If I connect headphones or a stereo to the 3.5mm jack, they output sound just fine. I downloaded a app called Soundabout which let's me force the sound through the speakers, though I have to deactivate this everytime I want to use headphones. I have cleaned my jack with compressed air, needles and cotton pads with isopropanol, but it doesn't seem to do anything. If I look into the jack it looks super clean and not very worn at all. Could there be somekind of short circuit somewhere in the phone or in the jack? I am experiencing this issue on many different roms and so it's not software related.
