[Q] Strange problem with audio jack - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I am facing a weird problem with the audio jack in my galaxy s3. Strangely i can only hear sound from one ear.. i tried several headphones and cables the only way to get sound on both side is to keep playing with the cable and trying to find a ''sweet spot'' or to push the jack only halfway.
i don't know if this is a common problem but i made the (stupid) mistake of buying i9300 in canada so i don't think there is any way to get samsung to fix it.
I would like to know if anyone faced the same problem and how to fix it ?
thank you

Hi.
Same problem for me. I've bring back my phone where I bought and they have changed it.
And the new phone no longer has the problem !

the thing is that the i9300 was never officially released in north america... i guess i'll have to buy bluetooth headphones

[Q] Is the S2 breaking headphones??

OK. So I have looked ALL over the forums and interwebs and I haven't found anything that relates to the problem i'm having!
I have had my S2 for almost 2 years and it has never failed me. Let's say about a year ago I was using my official samsung headphones when the right side stopped working. Considering that it could be the phone's problem I used the headphones in other devices (inclusing pc) and realised that the headphones had the same problem, right side was dead.
So, I tried my sister's headphones (official), worked great for about a week, then the same happened. Right headphoned died!
Then I bought some similar headphones, worked great for 2 days, then....caput! Right side dies!!!
I have tried settings, looking inside audio jack, fiddle around with headphone cable. I HAVE NO CLUE!
Is anyone finding this a problem? Has it happened to anyone else? Is this a common problem with the S2?
I am running Android Jellybean 4.1.2.
I am not rooted and I don't want to take my phone apart. I'm starting to think the S2 is eating away at headphones in general, only the right side.
Thanks in advance!
That's a new one on me! Seems like too many sets of headphones to be pure coincidence, although if they are all from a similar batch of headphones, maybe Samsung has a bad batch? I don't know what you would find from taking your phone apart, but I have had mine apart to replace the charging port and a again to replace the volume control rocker. I have to say the S2 is one of the easiest devices to take apart and put back together, with plenty of videos on Youtube so you don't have to guess. Your call though, of course!

[Q] Only left earbud works, jack problem

Hello,
Here is my problem: Suddenly for no reason at all, the R earbud stopped working. My thought was: "Oh well, it happens with earphones", after that i bought some earphones without microphone which had much more clearer sound, and both of earbuds (R&L) worked well, untill few days ago, suddenly the right one (R), drop dead. I thought that it was again earphone problem, but I've tried to put them to my laptop, stereo, etc. and they worked just fine. So, I thought:"It must be audio jack problem". And it was, because now only left one works, and I must twist earphone plug in a strange way for both of earbuds to work but it is impossible to me to hold them all the time like that.
My brother has also galaxy S3, so I borrowed his original Samsung earphones and I didn't have to twist them or bend them. They just worked fine, both of earbuds. So I've done some searching over the internet and I've learned that it could be some contact problem in jack, that one contact is loose. My question is, how to fix that fast and cheap, because I'm cheap and lazy bastard. I would like to know if there is any solution to my problem so i won't have to go to Samsung service. I've seen that there are replacement parts for audio jack + speaker on eBay, any experiences with that?
Best regards!

[Q] Problem with jack connection

Hi there,
I am new to the forum and I'm posting because I'm experiencing a strange issue with my phone.
First of all, I have a Cubot P9, android version 4.2.2. My problem with the phone is related to the jack audio exit. The phone is able to recognise headphones without any problem, however, when trying to connect it with other audio devices, for instance: car radio, speakers, etc, through a male-male jack cable, there is no change in the phone and the sound/music keeps coming from the phone audio.
I've never had this issue connecting other devices, such as an iPod, to speakers so, I was wondering, does anyone have any idea about this issue? Anyone here with a similar problem in the same phone model or in a different one?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] problem with the microphone

Hello everyone , I hope it is the right section in which to write.
A month ago my galaxy s2 has started to have problems at the microphone, during calls as when recording my voice was low...
the problem has become increasingly more persistent, until the microphone has stopped functioning completely,
So I decide to change it, buying "Flat + Microphone + Micro USB Connector" and I replace it.
the phone back to work perfectly, now after one month from the "repair" the problem has come back.
has anyone had the same problem? Can anyone help me?
Thanks
