3.5mm jack problems

Just bought my second AMAZE. Rooted & S-OFF yesterday. Don't kno if it is from rooted or just a hardware issue. ANYBODY ELSE!!!!!!!
what's your problem?
My Headphones. Keep disconnecting. And I tried two different headphones
Both headphones work on my glacier so I kno its the phone itself. Just curious if anybody else encountered the same problem if not then its definitely an hardware issue.
I'm starting to have the same issue, my bro had this.problem as well. It is a hardware issue

I usually use BlueTooth but i remember the batt being a bit flat so i plugged in to the jack and it seemed a bit cracklely.. Sounds like a common fault.

No mine does not work at all when you plug in the headphone jack normally, I have to plug it in slowly untill it works

On one of mine on headphones with mic and button, button click in not recognized.
On another works just fine.
Tried 3 different headphones – same result.
Installed app to detect/configure clicks – it doesn’t see any button clicks.
Headphones and mic works fine on both – means every ring on 3.5 jack has proper contact.
What else could it be?
I can plug super slowly – the icon changes from headphones to headphones with mic.
But button doesn’t work still
I see I'm not the only one with this problem I'm just surprised cause my phone was only one day old. My wife has the same phone non rooted will check hers tonight when I get home from work. If hers work I'm just going to swap it out and see if still has the problem.
OK so I stopped home reel quick and checked my wife's phone and her non rooted phone jack does the same thing so its either the OTA UPDATE or they just gave us a crappy jack port to all phones
I'm testing it out on my phone right now. What is it that I'm looking for because everything is working here for me.
Well I'm listening to a song on YT though.
Don't know if that makes a difference.
The headphones keep connecting & disconnect like every couple of seconds. It will not hold a steady connection for the headphones.
mine was fine before OTA, now i got the same problem

I am having problem with my sony xperia S.... The other person cannot hear me during call.... I jave updtaed my phone but still having this issue.....
Make sure your microphone works.
have you done anything to the phone prior to it not working? if not i would suggest sending back to sony if still under warranty fella
When I test microphone through service configuration , it worked fine but there is lot of distortion in it.
m fed up of this ......i regret now why I bought this phone
Make sure that there's no sticker cover ur phone mic!

Does it work with other calling apps like skype, viber etc or just with normal ph calls?
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
No its not working with the apps
Check the liveware manager doesn't think something like headphones are plugged in
blow out the headphones in hole, thst might work

There had been reports that sometimes the phone thinks that a headset is plugged-in resulting in no sounds to be heard from the speaker of the phone.
What should I do in such case ????

thankes in advanced. Orel
It is more than likely just your headphones that are the problem, the wire inside the protective rubber lining could have broken somewhere, try using a friends headphones to see if there's any difference

Noise canceling headphones show up as mic?

When I plug in the notice canceling headphones that came with my z2 it shows up as a mic and I cannot hear any audio through the headphones.
Is this just me?
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
it seems to only do this when using skype for me
other than that it seems to work 99% fine
Did you put your phone into water? Maybe there is still water inside preventing a 100% clear connection
Mine are working fine too
No water damage. I started getting this issue after upgrading to extenz 4.5 but I've tried downgrading but issue still persistents.
Funny this is if I insert the headphones then restart the phone then they work fine.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
I had this same behavior. One of your 5 minijack pins in the phone might got damaged.
Try wiping data for SmartConnect just to be sure it's not a software issue.
hmm that sounds awkward
What Rom are you using now? which version?
Existenz 4.5 and custom kernel
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
I solved the issue.
It was a kernel problem.
AndroKernelPlus was causing the problem. I had to flash a stock kernel for my headphones to work again

Hi,
I have the same problem here. The earphone used to work as a charm but one day just stopped working and the mic signal is on when I plug the earphone in. I have already tried wiping Smart Connect and Restoring the phone to Factory Conditions through Sony Companion.
Really didn't want to contact Sony over this... Any ideas??
Cheers!

Headphone mic problem

I can hear fine when my headphones are connected but the other person can't hear me. The same headphones works just fine on a different phone. I don't think there is a setting to check this. They were working fine recently. These are the stock that came with the phone. Anyone have am idea what's going on?

You might check to see if a piece of lint or something is in the headphone jack.
Thanks but I don't think that's the problem. I use a different one and it works fine.
