I have a RAZR. I went to insert the headphones into the jack as I have before, and this time my headphones would not insert all the way into the jack. I tried a couple of times, and then tried a few different pairs, with no success. I shined a light into the headphone jack, and don't really see anything lodged, just the white bottom of the jack. Anyone else have headphone jack issues?
I have not had issues like that.( It does not seem to like mine, but it works.)

Quit complaining about you living in a crappy 4g signal area, I dont get 4g at all. Just use 3g its faster you allready said that on another forun, your just being pissy and spaming that all over, im getting sick of it.
As for the OP's problem, try digging down there with a paperclip first just incase, mine is black inside so maybe you got something white in there? And anyway the RAZR has a really tight fitting headphone jack, its actually saved my phone from multiple falls.

This is all I've seen you post for the past few days. Why not go tell someone who cares?
I had this issue! Paperclip will do the job, but be careful. After this little operation I still got issues with the sound even after. Now I need to do little turns with headphone jack too hear something. I think its just a dust or similar. Need to clean it. (I even going to try wd-40. It helped with similar problem with motorola milestone)

Wow. All these complaints about Verizon. Im using Rogers and getting 6.45 MB down and .89 MB up. Talk about slow speeds!!!
To the OP. I have had this same issue with my Atrix and now my Razr. Sometimes I even have it when I have the audio jack plugged in the phone decides to route the audio through the speaker. Definately my last Motorola phone. I should have learned my lesson when I used the old Mike/Nextel "military grade" flip phones. Those things where useless.
Off topic but has anyone had any issues with the vibrate motor (get your mind out of the gutter!)? Mine with sometimes work while texting and sometimes it wont do a thing. When I turn the volume all the way down it sounds like a dying bee inside the phone. Another weak piece of hardware that also plagued the Atrix.
I've actually seen this issue with my Droid RAZR MAXX, and did not try to mess around with the headphone jack; I just called Verizon and they sent me a new one. You should probably do the same since it's covered under warranty.
THANKS!
My headphone jack stopped working so I went into the VZW store and refused a refurbished phone. I called CS and they wouldn't budge on issuing a refurbished in exchange for my, "I just paid out of my pock three weeks ago!" phone.
I found this thread and just blew "DUST OFF" into the headphone jack, upside down and now it is working! Thanks guys.
Thanks
Cleaning with paper clip worked for me too.:good:

I know right? Its a damn shame that the guys here will fix all the problems that HTC should have caught
As for the Microphone issue, I think that has to do with the actual software.
Ok, I figured out that the tip of my connector was bent and it was pushing against the SD card.

Mic not working
Guess I didn't know this was an issues since every phone I have ever owned (feature phones) with a headphone jack d/c the mic when you plug it in. I always just picked up a nice pair of headphones with a mic on them to answer calls.
Found that out the hard way too. Right in the middle of a busy street, on an important call. Can't wait for CM7 so I dont have to deal with a stupid feature like that...
Audio Jack has a loose connection
I found a different issue in that if you bump the headphone jack just right, it cuts out the audio altogether. I took my Thunderbolt to the store thinking I had a defective unit and I was able to duplicate with their floor models too. Sounds like a manufacturing defect. I tested several headsets that to eliminate that as the problem.

Can you reproduce the issue with the battery cover off? Wondering if maybe the headphones aren't seated right. Taking the cover off would give more room to make sure they are all the way in there. (That's the only way I could type that last sentance without it sounding pornographic)
Note: don't bump it too hard with the cover off. You may knock the battery out.
no i have not encountered this problem, and i use headphone jack everytime i go out
Yea that definitely is a defect! If you can't easily fix it without potentially causing damage, I would get a replacement
The Disabled Microphone issue is really annoying, I can't wait for a dev to fix it!
That's lame. Have you heard of anyone figuring out a workaround yet?
Anyone found or asked a ROM developer about the mic shutting down when a headset is connected?
Music plays fine out of the wired headset...it always has. The headset has functioned properly until about two weeks ago. At that time, my Atrix began to think that I was pressing the headset button. Constantly. Over and over. Any time the screen is on with the headset in, it redials automatically. When the screen is off, it does it too, because when I turn the screen on, it gives me the vlingo vs. voice command box. Also, when I make a call with the headset plugged in, the other person can somehow not hear me at all, until they call me back, and it's fine. The phone thinks the headset button is being pressed once every few seconds. THIS IS INCREDIBLY ANNOYING.
I know it's not the headset, because I've tried three different headsets (two by Motorola, both the 'official' wired headsets of the Atrix, and one third-party), all with the same result. Also, it's not just my phone! Oddly enough, I replaced my Atrix with AT&T's warranty, and THE NEW PHONE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.
Has anyone else experienced this, or have the slightest clue what is going on? I've looked around the internet for weeks now and I haven't seen a single instance of it. Pleeeeease. This is brutal.
My headset with mic and button does not have any issues. Its the bose MIE2 mobile phone headset.
Yes I have experienced this as well and it is super annoying I will prob swap it out and hope I don't get another messed up one. Sometimes when I am in my car and connected to my bluetooth handsfree it'll do the same thing and start a song playing and I don't even push anything!!! Hope someone figures this one out.
theres defo something funny about the atrix headphone jack and remote controls.
At first my nexus one remote worked fine with it, but it started doing funny things, then flat out would go crazy (issuing commands without me touching it etc.)
Gave up and went wireless, now I only use wired @ the gyma dn they're just dumb headphones w/out remote
ME TOO!!
Yes, yes, and yes on having this problem. I use my headphones (SkullCandy FMJ) sometimes when riding my bike and yesterday all I kept hearing was "please say a command...did you say...I'm sorry please try again" over and over...hard to deal with at 70MPH!!! Hope this gets fixed, I thought it was my headphones, but it sounds like another GB issue. I don't have any problems when using my SENA SMH10 Bluetooth inside the helmet.
I had this same problem, mine got randomly solved. You could find how the wiring world for the Atrix and block that connection or cut off the controller on the headphone and solder your headphones back together.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Thanks for the feedback, but a)I'm not looking to do any soldering or rewiring (I'm good with software mods, but not hardware mods), and b) it never happened until recently, then I swapped out the phone for a new Atrix, and it happened right off the bat - again with all three headsets. Tried a bluetooth, worked fine, no problem.
I tried a new headset (skull candy something-or-other) and it's been working so far, inexplicably.
I made a voodoo doll of my Atrix and poked it a bunch of times in its little voodoo headphone jack. Seems to have done the trick. I'd recommend that method.
I have this problem too with my headphones from my Sony x1, or x10. I cant remember which one. But as soon as I plug them in the phone goes nuts!
Which really sucks because they are they best headset/ headphones I have ever used for my funny shaped ears.
I think mine fixed after I dropped it and the headphones came out Anyways as long as its resolved that's awesome.

i also started to experience this issues.At first i thought it is kernel or ROM issue but then after multiple test and experiment it is the Atrix 3.5mm headset jack is the culprit.If im not mistaken it is due to pressure contact sensor inside headphone jack.Please anyone know how to rectify this kind of problem do post your solutions for us.TQ

You bike at 70MPH? Holy.
so no one found a real fix or solution for this problem? Maybe we need to make a petition and submit to motorola
I had the same problem with a BB9700. It ended up being a damaged headphone jack. I figure some crap from my pocket had been in the jack when I plugged in the head set. Which jammed everything into it wrecking the receiving end of things.
Luckily I had a spare housing which came with a new jack. I'm not sure if it's as easy to replace on the Atrix since I haven't had the opportunity to tear it apart yet.
Power amp has settings that fix my controls and it works great.

I have same problem too. But I have this problem on stock ROM and CM10.1 (with 3.1 kernel) ROM. I don't have this problem with any other ROM.
Is it just me or is the headphone jack, somewhat tight and also sensitive to changes in position? I mean that it takes a bit more effort than usual in order to plug them in, and yet if you pull them out even slightly, the phone will show that they have been disconnected. Is this normal for HTC Amazes or is it just mine in particular?
Although it isn't an extremely terrible problem yet, I'm worried that the jack will loosen and my headphone plugs will be able to move more freely, which would cause it to disconnect often.
Is this normal and should I be concerned?
P.S. I also seem to have an issue with the camera, it occasionally gives me completely blank/black photos when the flash stalls, as in the LEDs stay on for a few seconds before it takes a picture, and then provides me with a black picture. Is anyone else noticed this as well? I'm using Mobilicity Stock ICS, unrooted and S-On.

Yeah, I know it takes a lot of energy to pull it out, but it would be annoying if the jack loosens up and it comes out slightly to the point where it would normally still be connected on normal devices, which would make it disconnect on the Amaze.

I dont think there is anything that can losen it up lol.
It feels like something locks on to it.
With the force it takes to put in the jack and take it out. I was scared one day I would break it. So I bought a bluetooth headset.
Sucks that beats audio doesnt work over bluetooth.

What annoys me though, is that between fully connected and half connected, the the jack will show up as disconnected. It shows as connected when fully in and half way in (with part audio) which intrigues and worries me.
EDIT: Can anyone else verify that the phone shows that headphones are disconnected if they are plugged in between fully plugged in and plugged in halfway?
I have a similar problem. The headphone jack is so tight that if I plug it in my stereo at home or in the car, it will randomly make a pop sound and stop playing music if I so much as touch it. Very irritating. It doesn't do that with headphones, but the jack is so small that I have to cram my headphones in haha. Then again, we should be thankful it's tight and not loose and awful like my old SGSII...

lol hulk strength, nice. made me laugh. You're right though, anyone having suspected probs with the stereo jack should try to jam it in there. I was about to get a warranty exchange and be without a phone for 3 weeks. I read this forum, and used my hulk strength to jam the jack in there. My case was also slightly making teh jack not all the way go in.
Works okay now, thanks for sharing!

Hey, I know this is old, but my phone does the same thing. I always plug it into my FM transmitter while in my car, but if I spin the 3.5mm cord around in the jack (which I got used to doing, being a very fidgety person), it stops playing immediately. Is this what you've experienced? Has anyone found any information on it?
Thanks.
The headphone jacks at first are a bit stiff but after listening to music so much, they actually loosen up. It takes time to break it in. I don't think it will get too loose though unless you damage the phone.

sound Jack ...!
Hi everyone. Urgent replies are more appreciated. I'm having a bit issue regarding to head phone jack. All appeared just yesterday night . Now whenever I plugged in headphone I have to continuously push it to b able to listen from both ear pieces otherwise after simply putting in like normally v do , only left earpiece is working. Plz tell. What to do. Its X715e unlocked version. Plz tell. But if I plug it in half way just when headphone sign shows it is working fin but when I completely plug in so it works only with left earpiece. While another head phone HTC desire c .that is working fine and nice.
Make sure you don't have lint in it if you do a safety pin works wonders with a flashlight. Still don't work. Like in mine get different headphones. The stock iPhone headphones keep the connection but my other zagg headphones seems the plug is to long and doesn't keep a connection very tight. Only happens with headphones that have microphones. Hope that helps.

S3 for V here. Mine does the same thing, but the music app doesn't even have to be on. Ive already posted in the bugs thread about this and a few others say they haven't had any issues, so I feel its an isolated incident. I only get it when I plug in a TRS jack. When I plug in a TRRS jack, I hear no static. I'm going out on a limb here and going to guess that the sleeve could be bridging connections in the receptacle. But if that's the case, the hardware/drivers should be able to handle that as I haven't had any issue with my iphone and that was a TRRS receptacle, along with a host of many other phones.

I have the Verizon variant and I get this same static. For me it sounds like a crackling/popping sound. Having the screen on makes it worse. I even get it during turn by turn navigation and through my car's bluetooth audio.
Verizon and Samsung support have been worthless. There are no stores with replacement stock within 100 miles of me.
I have the same issue with my sprint gs3. I'm hoping it's just a software issue.
I had this issue for a minute on my Sprint S3, then I realized that I hadn't plugged the headphones in quite all the way. They looked like they were in, but there's a final little click. Solved my issue.
The issue we're talking about happens on the speaker phone, earphones and even audio through bluetooth

Well I followed your advise and unrooted the phone to get a replacement.they of course didn't have any in stock so it'll be there by Tuesday. The rep played music through a set of earphones he had and no further questions were asked. I just hope the replacement doesn't have a different issue like the ones I've read around here. Even my battery life has been spectacular.

I've tried everything I can think of. When it happens while the phone rings I guess there's noting else to do. I even rechecked after unrooting it,downloading the latest sprint update but it seems it's hardware related.
it's not only music playing apps but even others like tune in radio do it as well.
I just tried putting the music on the my external sd card and it doesn't do the popping there. when it reads it off the internal storage is when all the popping begins.
Hi there, I recently bought an HTC amaze and I love it so far, but I do have one problem. When I use any pair of headphones or 3.5mm jack my music will play out of both sides, but it's much quieter on the right side. I've tested this with many sources and nothing has worked so far. Is this a common problem? I have 30 days to return the phone but I'd really rather not if I don't have to.
Not an issue on my Amaze.
Have you tried different headphones? Or maybe one of you ears is going bad.
Haha... Definitely not my ears. I've tried several headphones and aux cables and none have worked. Guess I'm going to have to return it. I figured it was probably a hardware issue.
Before you do that try using compressed air in the headphones jack to see if there maybe something in there.
