Recently as of last night my audio jack on my phone wont work when i plug in my headphones or when i plug in my auxiliary cord from car.
It's like it doesn't recognize that i plug something into it because the audio still comes from the back of the speaker on my phone instead of transmitting through my headphones. Nothing happens at all when I plug them in.
I'm running the latest MIUI v4 release from the ported section.
All help is appreciated.
Try a q-tip and some alcohol to clean the port and use a small flashlight to see if you got a chunk of lint or something inside it.
If the port is clear, and alcohol does not help, sadly the port is borked, return to AT&T.
I'm not aware of any setting that might be off that would disable output, although I could certainly be wrong.
Did you change anything before this happened? New ROM? New Kernel, etc.
Nope. I was just using the newest MIUI with the stock kernel it has. It was working yesterday afternoon. All i did was charge it and then I noticed it stopped working after that. :/
Thanks your for help by the way

My guess would be a pin broke off inside the adapter on your phone, necessitating a warranty replacement. If alcohol did not help and you can't see anything in the hold blocking it, and music works on your phone it would appear to be a defective jack.
Miui seems to have broken headphone jacks on multiple different phones of mine, it could be a cause but I'm not sure. I just went and got mine replaced and didn't think about it.

Hi,
I received my YP-G70 (US 5.0 Version) in the mail today and I'm loving it so far. The only problem I have with it is that sound won't go through my headphones unless I have the plug in a "sweet zone." The plug can't be all the way inside of the jack or else there is no sound from the speakers and headphones. However, if I pull out the plug then put it in part of the way, the sound works. I should probably note I am using headphones that have a standard 3.5 mm plug (the included headphones have the same issue).
Does anyone else have this problem? How would I fix it? Do I have to send this back?
Thanks.
TL;DR: My headphones don't work unless they're plugged in perfectly and not all the way in. Why?
Send it back
You should probably return it.
If this is happening when you use different headphones is most likely a hardware issue, like a cold solder point.
You should send this back without hesitation.

I contacted Samsung to get that taken care of. Thanks.
I had the same problem, turns out that I didn't have the plug pushed in all the way. I gave it a really hard push and it popped in just a bit more and voila! It worked! Just try it before you bring it back... Let me know how it works, or doesn't...

Hey all. I got a replacement Vibrant (still have the old one). I put my FFC into my new phone, and since then my headphone jack has basically stopped working. Now originally i thought it was because i got googone on the jack, so I tried replacing it with the one in my old phone (which works fine). When I put the old jack in, I was having the same problem. Then I tried the jack from the new phone (the one i thought wasn't working) and it worked in my old phone.
I was able to get the jack working on the new phone for a minute but stopped working shortly after.
I know it's not the jack itself because like i said, it was working in my old phone...
Anyone have any idea what this may be, or why it's doing what it's doing? I'ld be willing to do any hardware fix that is needed.
Also Note:
When I take my backing off, and plug speakers into the jack, it works. But as soon as I put the backing back on, it stops working and gets all crackly.
An electrical shortage?
Maybe when you but the cover back it presses against a cable or something and creates an electrical shortage
I was thinking that. NY idea on where that might be?

Hmmm. Perhaps leave the back off, plug in some speakers, and start pressing on the phone until it stops working. That should at least get you close...

Has anyone had issues with the external speaker on the i9100?...
Mine will sometimes work for a few seconds then cut out...sometimes it won't even do that, just emitting a "click", like when you unplug a connection...ringtones never work (ever)...(and no, it's not on "silent")
The headphone jack works fine (and has been replaced already), and I've tried the "plug in plug out" solution. The call speaker (against the ear when on a call) works fine, and the Mic works fine....
I'm running cm10 and the latest siyah kernel, but this was happening when I was on stock and not rooted....
I replaced the speaker, and it worked perfectly for a day or so, then....not so much
Everything else is smooth as, and it's a great phone....would just be nice to be able to hear it ring is all...

did you recheck your speaker? maybe there was a loose wire or something.. there is a possibility that it may be a motherboard problem but i highly doubt it

Replace the USB flex cable board. I had the same exact problem. It instantly fix it but swapping that board my bring signal problems. Then refer to this thread.

all good now! i replaced the usb flex. when comparing the two boards, the new one has a slight curve in it that seems to bring the contacts closer to the speaker ...don't know if it's by design, but it works....my phone rang for the first time in ages this morning, and it scared the crap out of me
I'm having some problems:
- The earpiece does not work in calls.
- When i plug a headset (one with mic and another without it), if volume is at max i hear just crackling sounds (nothing else) and when volume lower than max there's no sound at all.
i replaced the earpiece yesterday (the flex with everything else) and still have the same problem... so i tought it must be a software issue, then unlocked the bootloader and flashed cm7.2 stable (i was on at&t 2.3.6), but still, the same problem...
any help?
Sounds like your jack might be faulty.

the jack has something to do with the earpiece?

Oh sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you mean earbuds or similar. In that case, please ignore, sadly I have no other advice.

Same issue here - out of the blue my earpiece quit working. Did some research and found several posts that the earpiece was a possible faulty design by Moto. Like you I replaced the earpiece and flex cable. Earpiece started working fine, then it quit again. Then found something strange - when I removed the SD card it started working again. So to test, I put the SD card back in and it quit working again. Removed it again, rebooted and it was working again. Did this about 5 times with same results. Wake up the next morning, go to make a call and the earpiece is dead again. Its been dead since.
Was running CM 7.2.1 stable when this started. Flashed the nightly afterwards to see if that fixed it; nope. I believe its a software thing also so I'm trying to figure out which ROM I load next to test.
You guys have any luck?

Mine stopped working last week. After trying a few different headphones and doing all sorts of changes. I finally realized that I had a bit of pocket lining stuck on the instead which got embedded at the bottom. I used a paper clip to scope the lining out.
Any breakthroughs? Has any1 fixed the ear piece issue?
Please know if you do this ypu risk damaging your phone and this will be your decision.
With that said... If you remove the back panel you will find that the jack uses spring contacts to connect to the board. Make sure they are clean and making good contact.

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.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
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
