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...

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
I have a modded aria with the stock 2.2.2 rom on it.
recently I've been using skullcandy earbuds for my phone with the microphone built in and peoplei talk too have been saying that they can't hear me or have been having difficulty hearing me.
I don't believe it's the headphones but I'm sure that it is most likely is the hardware or software in the phone is there any remedy to this?
Have you tried cleaning out the headphone jack? Lint can get stuck in there and prevent a good connection with headsets because headset plugs are longer than regular headphone plugs. A toothpick seems to work well for me.

I did and it still isn't working (saw a similar post but wasn't the same)
Wasn't sure if maybe software maybe the problem or if its just the hard ware
I tried another pair of headphones and same thing
Only thing I could try was rebooting and leaving it off for a little bit but it didn't work
Any ideas would be nice
I don't really know what might cause that in software. If I was having that issue I'd probably make a nandroid backup, then do a factory reset to see if the problem goes away or not.
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,
Im wondering if someone can help!
I use my headphone jack everyday.
Today the headphone stopped working. Initially I thought it was the headphone so i tried 2 other pairs. Nothing. Cannot hear anything. I play music from the speaker and that works fine. But as soon as i plug in I dont hear anything.
Searching through the other threads, I found lint mentioned. So i blew in the jack and also tried to a pin. It appears to be clean.
Using an app I selected for a wired headset to be the only output. Now, when music is playing and when I putting in/pulling out the headphones in I can hear a crackling noise but nothing else. When turned up fully there is also some static!
Ive reset my phone so I know its probably not a software issue.
Any ideas please?
1. Try to hold the audio jack to one side (that is, press it either left or right) to make it slant on a side. Check if you get any sound.
2. Try seeing if you hear music by inserting the audio jack at various "depth" into the phone. i.e. don't insert it fully.
Hope it helps

tried both..but nothing!
you tried the other solutions from the forum? corrosion problem, etc? That's the best I can help. Otherwise, you might need to change the audio board, it's available on ebay I think for < $10, and apparently not so difficult to replace as well.
Let's check it with a torch. I also had this issue and it was not so easy but I managed to remove a little lint with a needle. After that it worked fine for me.
Hi,
This has now been resolved. It turned out there was another bit of lint I had missed. So using a needle, I took it out and the headphone is now back to its best.
Thank you all for your help!
Glad for you!
My phone got wet last night and thankfully it looks as though everything still works but the phone thinks the headphones are plugged in. I cleaned it as much as I currently could and restarted it multiple timesbut the icon is still at the top and the sound from the phone will not play through the speaker. Is there any way to disable the headphone jack? My phone is rooted and I have xposed so anything helps.

Have you tried to blow out the jack with compressed air (gently)?
What if you tried flashing the ROM again ? That could possibly fix the issue.
Also if you place you phone in a bowl of uncooked minute rice it should absorb any moisture that you can't see. I have done this before and it has helped me.
Good Luck,
Ripley
Thanks for the reply. Turns out my phone got over the headphone jack issue but the charging port is fried. The water shorted it out and now I can't charge my phone normally. But it's ok cause I got a wireless charger. As for the headphone jack. Its shorted too...kind of. The phone will detect that there is something plugged in but the audio will not go through. So now my phone is 100 percent wireless dependent. I can only use Bluetooth for audio to like a speaker and I can only wireless charge. Phone still works well otherwise.
