Hi all! I have one problem with my sk17i. After using 7 months, my mini jack stop working. I test a lot headphones but all time music come from speaker. I think it is rom but i flash orginal, custom and this don't work.. What i must do to repair it ?
Sorry for my bad english.
If the music is coming from loudspeaker... Even after plugging in headphone...
It means that the jack can't detect the headphone...
It must a loose connection inside the device or you by mistake plugged out head phones by force... Seems a hardware problem.,. Better visit service center.

Audio jack no longer working
Hey hey! I replaced the screen on my sk17i and now, similarly to this guy, the audio jack doesn't work - the phone does not detect any headset I whack in there. Did I miss something or loose something when I took it all apart maybe? I'm wondering exactly how the audio jack connects to the phone, in case I failed to reconnect it or perhaps.
Thank you

I used toggleheadset widget to workaround this, seems as though it's a software rather than hardware issue, but I'm ok with that and I have the functionality that I want.
Hope this is helpful for the next guy

I have been wondering if there is any work published that relates to fixing the crappy sound quality and volume on this device.
Music is obviously very weak and gets distorted very easily even when volume not that high. I tried looking around but failed to find any related work. And i dont mean stuff like "download a EQ and put a dmiley face preset" because obviously im looking for a way to hear decent quality and volume in FLAT sound.
Thanks in advance.
The serious discussion around here is here:

Supercurio knows his stuff. If he can't do it, I don't know who can.
I fear the short answer is "no".
Every time I listen to my S9 and then return to my phone, I'm really having to persuade myself that the SGS2 is even worth it for "casual" listening.
My sound is great
ok well. make sure you are plugging your cables in completly! i had a issue with that until i noticed i wasnt plugging in fully. you will notive that the whole jack end is inside the phone . s2 at&t usa edition here . hope that helps . good luck!

Hello there.
Today I've noticed that the left speaker of my headphones doesn't work when I plug them to my Mini Pro. I moved from CM10.2 to SJB 8.0 and found this out while testing stuff out. It's been some time since I've used my phone as a music player last time, but I never had any problems like this. Reverting to CM didn't help either.
I can't really find out whether this is a hardware or software issue. I think connector isn't dirty, wiggling the plug doesnt make any difference. Is there anything more I can try, besides flashing stock firmware? Did anybody have a similar problem?
EDIT: I've connected my PC to the phone as a BT headset, both channels work fine there.
What headphone do you own? Most new headphones with mic won't work correctly on 2011 xperia. Those new headphones use CTIA, our phone uses OMTP. Long story short, you can only use stock headset or the ones without mic. You could buy OMTP to CTIA converter though. Look up on eBay.

I use only standard stereo headsets, namely Creative Aurvana Live and Creative EP630.
They looked compatible to me. Maybe cleaning phone jack with alcohol would help, I don't know. Sorry

Thanks for your input either way. I have tried cleaning the jack with isopropyl alcohol, and also just in case left the phone without battery for some time (because why not).
The strange thing about this is I'm getting absolutely no sound whatsoever on the left channel, while the right one works like a charm. If i'd get any noise while moving the jack around, it would be pretty obvious sign of bad soldering, and therefore a HW problem.
I still struggle with this problem. I have tried downgrading software to stock GB, didn't help. I've took it to some service centre, the folks there have replaced the jack, but it didn't help either. I wonder if i should pump any more money into this.
Hey Guys.
This is the original thead
I was directed to this forum after realizing what I had.
Will unlocking the phone rectify the mic issue ?
Any Body got any suggestions ?
No body ?
If stock and less than one year old = warranty
Do not have warranty.
There is just me and the phone.
So I need quidance
Pointers, Any one ?
I guess no one knows.
Is your phone stock?
I believe it is .
Haven't you read the posts. All the info is already given
How can I unlock this phone ?
mic not working
mine just started doing this yesterday. i haven't found any advice yet. i am able to use the speaker phone. try that.

HERE IS THE MIC NOT WORKING FIX!
The headphone port has three connectors: one for left ear, one for right ear, one for mic.
If you have a headset with microphones plugged in, it reroutes all three to that output. In this mode, however, if you turn speaker phone on, it will reroute to your speaker-phone function.
Now, if something happens inside that port, something falls in for example, the phone would think that you have a mic plugged in. The top two connectors remain untouched, so it doesn't think you have headphones plugged in, and that's why it doesn't reroute the sound. However, the bottom connection is shorted, so it thinks you have a mic plugged in, thus turning off the phone's mic. Now people can't hear you.
This explains why it happens to PEOPLE, and is software/os/hardware independent. People have habits. I listen to a lot of music, and this problem has been happening off and on for a while now. I've found that if I clean out the headphone port, the problem goes away.
Sorry..
Above method did not help. No Jack issue.
I need to unlock this so It will recognize the sim. It is not registering the SIM. It says unknown sim. But i can make phone calls through speaker phone and headset

Whenever I plug in my earbuds or my headphones, the jack is normally able to turn around, obviously. But for me this results in the earbuds or headphones to stop working. The sound/music/video cuts out. I have to spin the jack around until the sound works again. I know if the sound works again once I hear a little pop.
I used to think it was just my earbuds failing, but it happens on my much newer headphones as well, so I don't think they're failing.
Any ideas what's wrong? Is my jack failing? Currently running Candy Six. Don't know if it does the same on CM/etc.
This does not make much sense to me. Is it in only certain orientations that it cuts out, ie. from 12 to 2? Confident it is not popping out of position as you turn? Maybe the socket is failing...

Yup, let's say I plug in earbuds with an L-shaped jack. I can plug it in and it works, but if I spin the jack to some certain angle the audio stops working. It even does this with my Audio Technica headphones with a straight jack.
Can you spin the headphones in another device to see if it's not a problem with them?

I've only been able to test on the computers and laptops at school so far and sometimes I hear popping or staticy noises. The audio still works though, it doesn't cut out.
So I guess the jack on my phone really is failing. I'll try on some other phones later.
I've been testing on other devices and everything's fine. But on my HAM, I've been receiving very odd failures lately.
Sometimes if I spin the jack or the audio cuts out on its own, my phone actually freezes for maybe ~15 seconds. System UI crashes as well (wallpaper turns black, status and navigation bar disappear, phone takes me to lock screen), but no error messages show.
This leads me to think maybe software issue? Why else would my phone freeze, and System UI crash? I really have to try flashing a different ROM and see if it still happens.
Might also be worth noting I (along with a few others) had audio issues with the original JellyBean ROM, even though they eventually went away.
My sister-in-law gave us a selfie stick, and you'd connect it in the headphone port. In camera mode pushing a button activated something, I'm assuming shorting connections in there to take a picture. I didn't attempt to see what would happen outside of camera mode though. (I wonder where the stick went. Not very organized I'm afraid.)

Flashed new ROM, same issue still present. I guess it really is a hardware problem then.

I haven't once used the headphone jack for headphone use, in the almost two years that I've owned the phone. I'm not really one with enough experience...

Hi JZchen,
I had/have a similar problem with my Mate2. I believe there is something structurally wrong with my headset jack. If I use any headphone with a microphone or a square credit card reader, it would not work. I had more problems with roms than stock, stock has a "smart" headphone option. I tend to use apple ear pods and they did not work with CM12.1 or CM13 and I had to go with headphones without a microphone.
I returned my mate to stock and it got rid of my microphone problem, but then I started having issues with the stock OS and some of my most important apps. I sent my Mate2 in for service and I don't think they actually did anything to "fix" it.
One thing to try is some compressed air gently sprayed into the headset jack to remove any debris that might prevent the headphones from being fully inserted.
Good Luck!

I had GPS issues, but dropping the phone was part of the equation so I wasn't sure what might be a cause until I read more and more on the Mate2 portion of this forum. It seems like some of the problems start with app updates. It will be interesting to see if future updates help resolve some of what I think of as just program bugs/incompatibilities. It really "seemed" like my phone was broken, and I was already looking around for a new one, when I decided to try to change settings to see exactly what was broken. (Personally I am on a budget these days, although my wife is doing a lot better that she is willing to help me replace it.)
As of now I am happy with the GPS performance in just Device Only, so maybe a setting change might help debug the problem for you guys. For example maybe trying to mute on a phone call to see what happens. In fact I just looked at the "Sound" settings on mine. I noticed a "Headset DTS mode" is greyed out, probably because I don't have a headset connected. I'd try toggling this to see if it makes a difference, as a start. I'd dig further to other seemingly related settings to see if I could find the problem....

Settings -> Smart assistance -> More -> Smart headset control is another setting I would toggle and see.... So I'd try both DTS and this off, DTS on this off, this on and DTS off, then both on.....

You could also set the Sound Balance or switch to Mono mode to narrow down if it is only the left or right connection on stereo headset that is the issue....

Hi folks, help needed and will be much appreciated!
My friend was a happy user of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 SE until she mistakenly plugged speakers output to the phone audio jack (a stupid Chinese audio center she was using has 2 RCA connectors for input and 2 RCA connectors for output speakers, and all are located close to each other). It seems broke the chip controlling audio jack: as I understand, there should be a chip sensing and controlling what is plugged in, like phones only, or this or that type of ear phones with microphone. So now the phone built-in microphone is not working for any application, ear phones play one channel only, and the phone does not see the difference in between mere 3-contact jack and 4-contact jack for speakers and microphone. In other words, the phone cannot be used as phone anymore
If external bluetooth device is used, everything is OK, of course.
I have an idea to fix it if possible. Motherboard is out and I am trying to find a circuit logic controlling the audio jack. Can someone help with this please? Almost everything is covered by metal screens and I do not want to do extra false actions on the board.
So the questions are:
(1) What is the exact logic of Xiaomi RN3 SE work with audio jack?
(2) What circuit/chip is controlling audio jack and where is it located on the main board?
(3) What are repaire options in this case?
Hello again, folks...
4pda.ru came to be much more responsive in this case. I received two answers from there. The chip involved is WCD9326, for location on the motherboard see the image attached.
Same issue with My Frnd RN3, he plugged Aux cable and now he can't use phone call doesn't work, No Audio from speakers etc, when he gave it so service center they told Audio Ic Short and told to replace Motherboard
