Hi there.
I've no audio comming out through my headphones connector. The phone doesn't recognise anything connected when I plug in headphones or audio cable.
I've tried to clean it with canned high pressure air and it doesn't help.
Maybe it's a rom issue. I'm running the latest ics available through OTA and I've rooted it with the one click tool found in the development section.

I had the same exact issue and had to take it into store. They looked inside the jack said ok and ordered me a replacement. They didn't say what was wrong or anything,

i think it is an issue of our jack port. it is the 2nd time mine breaks and i noticed it broke when i connected it to my 2.1 pc speakers jack. the 1st time warranty covered it but i haven't send it this time cause i need the phone for the next 4-5 days due to work. i hope warranty will cover it the second time too. i have noticed that the speaker jack is slightly thicker and it made the top connector of the jack port popping out and not letting anything to be completely inserted in the port.
Lint problem
Hi,
I get this problem every now and then. The main problem is the jack is too big and lint easily gets inside and blocks the headphone's pin to touch the base in order for it to function.
One of the easiest ways of clearing the lint is use a pin/needle or anything small that can go inside and pull the lint out. Make sure you do it very carefully and try to use a torch light to see better.
That's strange. I just reflashed ics and now it's working again.

Stock motorola firmwares too buggy (except for the India Stock ICS). Use MIUI 2.10.12 ...amazing...just amazing..

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.

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.

I agree. When I got my amaze I was goign to return it thinking the headphone jack was broken. After an hour I realized I had to apply hulk strength to get it in properly.

Does it eventually loosen up after prolonged use?
No it doesnt losen up. I ended up buying Bluetooth earphones.

Ah, okay. That's good, because I use the headphone jack all the time. Does it also disconnect if you pull it out slightly?
It takes alot to of energy to pull out also.
If you pull out slightly only the left ear will work.

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...

I hate the headphone jack, it's always halfway unplugging if it's barely jostled or touched. It's the one thing I can't stand about this phone design...for awhile I wanted to return it, but T-Mobile doesn't have a phone I'd rather have, haha.

Yeah, lol. At least the good thing about the headphone jack is that the jack is really tight so it keeps the headphones in. I'm just hoping that the jack doesn't loosen up over time.

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.
A few days ago i noticed strange issue on my SXS.It was tipical day for me,after schoole lay down in bed put headphones,and enjoy.And it was ok,until i moved my phone.Music suddenly stoped.So i yought i accidentally somehow pressed stop.But after I moved my phone again,same problem.Than I wondered wtf i haven't touched any of the phones buttons and it stopped...So searching for the factor that causes this problem,i found it.Every time i move my headset jack a little bit,the music stops,like i plugged my headphones off and i didn't.So anyone has thos problem?I don't get it,is it up to the headphones or jack?It's frustrating,i must be like a statue so i can listen the music!

Can't you just try different headphones?

It's just the connection. The lead I use to connect to my stereo is the same, but my earphones are just fine.
I don't believe it's a problem with the phone hardware.
Just out of interest do you use a case? I only ask because my connection is more sensitive if I have the case on. I looked and the case actually slightly gets in the way and the jack is not quite so deep, but earphones are still fine.

Try another headphone before assuming its the jack
You can also try cleaning the jack, see if that helps

Thread moved to Q & A section.
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
Is there an accessory like that?

Wow that is really cool! Thank you!
There are lots of ornament-type plugs for headphone jacks. Just google "headphone jack accessories", if that's the kind of thing you're looking for. I personally don't see what's the use for it though. It just adds unnecessary bulk to the phone but gals seem to dig it.

You do realise that you would have to unplug the thing every time you make a phone call, whether calling out or receiving, right?
That is unless you have something to say in the phone call (without listening), because with something plugged into the jack, it will think that you have headphones plugged in, therefore disabling the earphone piece/speaker on the phone...:laugh:

Not at all, there is a lot of accessories of this kind made by plastic, and so without contact it never cut the sound and no need to unplug it. But only problem is it is make by plastic and so it is easy to break and really annoying to take it out from the jack female.

OK, I didn't know... MAybe newer phones can tell the difference.
The experience I had with my wife's Xperia U was like this you see..
She had this screen cleaner (like a sponge pad, attached to extendable coiled cable like telephone) which would be attached by a plastic headphone plug.
Every time she received or sent calls, her earpiece would not work because the phone thought that there was a headset plugged in.
I made her throw it away! Because she would end the call thinking it was bad connection!!
I wish if we had kept it... I wold know if this is also problem on Z Ultra or not too
