So my headphone jack gut busted a few days ago no idea how but the phone make strage things when i put my headphones in. so sometimes its only mono sound and sometimes non. sometimes the phone recognize my headphones even they are not pluged in.
Is it a big deal to replace the jack or should i let pros do the work?
Thanks in advance
Hi Darkmind82 i've got the same problem and I fix it. To fix it you have to pull with a little think like a pin the contact inside the jack hole, the first one that you can see. with the same pin look if there are a dust inside the jack hole and remove it.

I was wandering if anyone else had this problem? Every time I plug in to the Headphone jack my SD card unmounts. Has anyone else seen this?

i dont have that problem but my headphone jack does seem extremely tight, not sure if i have to 'wear' it in
don't have that issue BUT annoying is that when u plug in headphones it DISABLES THE MICROPHONE!! arg. so no way to listen to music & then answer a phone call without unplugging yer phones. How stupid is this?? its like the designers never actually used the phone

I know right? Its a damn shame that the guys here will fix all the problems that HTC should have caught
As for the Microphone issue, I think that has to do with the actual software.
Ok, I figured out that the tip of my connector was bent and it was pushing against the SD card.

Mic not working
Guess I didn't know this was an issues since every phone I have ever owned (feature phones) with a headphone jack d/c the mic when you plug it in. I always just picked up a nice pair of headphones with a mic on them to answer calls.
Found that out the hard way too. Right in the middle of a busy street, on an important call. Can't wait for CM7 so I dont have to deal with a stupid feature like that...
Audio Jack has a loose connection
I found a different issue in that if you bump the headphone jack just right, it cuts out the audio altogether. I took my Thunderbolt to the store thinking I had a defective unit and I was able to duplicate with their floor models too. Sounds like a manufacturing defect. I tested several headsets that to eliminate that as the problem.

Can you reproduce the issue with the battery cover off? Wondering if maybe the headphones aren't seated right. Taking the cover off would give more room to make sure they are all the way in there. (That's the only way I could type that last sentance without it sounding pornographic)
Note: don't bump it too hard with the cover off. You may knock the battery out.
no i have not encountered this problem, and i use headphone jack everytime i go out
Yea that definitely is a defect! If you can't easily fix it without potentially causing damage, I would get a replacement
The Disabled Microphone issue is really annoying, I can't wait for a dev to fix it!
That's lame. Have you heard of anyone figuring out a workaround yet?
Anyone found or asked a ROM developer about the mic shutting down when a headset is connected?
The other day while listening to music on my note the sound from the right ear phone went dead. If I played the with cord or bent the jack and held it that way I could hear music again from both ears. So naturally I thought I just needed new ear phones. However my ear phones work fine for every other device and even a different pair of ear phones in my phone gave me the same problem. If I listen to music without ear phones the speakers work fine. Is my phone damaged or is there a way to fix this?
Your headphone jack might be malfunctioning. Try a different pair of headphones on the device.

I would say malfunctioning headphone jack since you had the same issue with more than one pair. do you have a case on it? The case could be blocking it from fully entering and making a good connection

Also if you keep your phone in your pocket, it could be lint in the port. That happened to me on my streak

A good tip for cleaning electronic connections is a qtip and rubbing alcohol. So long as your device is without power. I would even remove the battery. Try cleaning out the phono plug with some rubbing alcohol first.

And a can of air can help blow out the lint and dry the alcohol.
I took it out of its case and still the same problem. I did blow in it and there isn't a problem if the jack is in the right position. If I still have sound problems I just turn the jack until I hear sounds from both ear phones again and it seems to stay that way. I don't have any pressurized air or rubbing alcohol and if I can even get them here I will have to go into the city so lets save that for last. Considering that my ear phones are working fine if the jack is in the right spot, does that mean there could just be more dust deeper in there or some sort of problem with the phone?
If there's a sweet spot where it works fine, then there's corrosion in there. Possibly the alcohol and q-tip will remove gunk, but you need some mild abrasion like a pipe cleaner.
Could be dirt or it could mean loose solder joints.
Ok so the problem got a little worse, Even if I twist the jack a certain way just moving the wires to much or the phone it will cause the sound to go out. So if I am walking or even have the phone in my sweatshirt pocket the sound will go out. The only way to get sound to play clear from both ears while walking is the kind of bend the top of the ear phone jack and hold it. If I have the phone on my desk and twist the jack to a spot that works and just leave the phone there I do not have any problems. I will see if my host family or anyone in the village has alcohol or pressurized air but if that does not fix the problem then is something like this worth getting fixed or should I just buy a new phone?
Yeah, that means the soldering has been worked loose. The part is $20 or less on ebay, and there is a disassembly video in the general section. Its not a complicated process to replace the headphone port.
I think you may be right. Today I noticed that if I press down really hard on the jack music plays fine in both ears and twisting and turning the jack doesn't affect it at all. Does that pretty much prove it then?
Yes, its getting worked loose. I've seen someone duct tape the headphone plug to the phone in the sweet spot. It lasted for about a week until the last connection broke.
Ok, I am not in the US so now ebay is out of the question. I will go into the city and see if I can find the part but as someone who never never taken a phone apart and fixed one would watching the video be good enough for me?
You can learn from the video. But if you have a store that sells the part, why not have them do the repair? I can't imagine it would cost more than $50 US.
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.

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
Hi,
Im wondering if someone can help!
I use my headphone jack everyday.
Today the headphone stopped working. Initially I thought it was the headphone so i tried 2 other pairs. Nothing. Cannot hear anything. I play music from the speaker and that works fine. But as soon as i plug in I dont hear anything.
Searching through the other threads, I found lint mentioned. So i blew in the jack and also tried to a pin. It appears to be clean.
Using an app I selected for a wired headset to be the only output. Now, when music is playing and when I putting in/pulling out the headphones in I can hear a crackling noise but nothing else. When turned up fully there is also some static!
Ive reset my phone so I know its probably not a software issue.
Any ideas please?
1. Try to hold the audio jack to one side (that is, press it either left or right) to make it slant on a side. Check if you get any sound.
2. Try seeing if you hear music by inserting the audio jack at various "depth" into the phone. i.e. don't insert it fully.
Hope it helps

tried both..but nothing!
you tried the other solutions from the forum? corrosion problem, etc? That's the best I can help. Otherwise, you might need to change the audio board, it's available on ebay I think for < $10, and apparently not so difficult to replace as well.
Let's check it with a torch. I also had this issue and it was not so easy but I managed to remove a little lint with a needle. After that it worked fine for me.
Hi,
This has now been resolved. It turned out there was another bit of lint I had missed. So using a needle, I took it out and the headphone is now back to its best.
Thank you all for your help!
Glad for you!
Hey friends, got this phone for a year now and I'm experiencing problems with my earphone jack. I have to twist the connector for the connection to be better. Any way to fix this? btw I do not have warranty anymore. Sony Singapore only offers 1 yr warranty.

Did you try other headphones.. Than this.. Coz. Sometimes the problem may be from headphones too
This happens to me as well, like when watching a movie.
I figured that dust particles can get stuck in the headphone jack, which makes the audio cut off.
Sometimes my phone wouldn't even detect the headphones and play audio through the speakers.
I clean the jack with a light stream of water everytime this happens, and it works fine.
