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

Headphone Adapter replacement

Hi all,
I lost my headphone adapter that came with the phone, so now i only have the headphone part which is way too short to be used.
I'm wondering if there's a place I can buy one of these ( or if anyone would like to sell me theirs ) , preferably OEM x10 ones, but if anyone knows some other good choices please let me know.
Thanks
As far as I know, it's a standard TRRS connector. You should be able to find one pretty much anywhere where cellphone stuff is sold (hint, hint: eBay).

Umm that is just an extension adapter, no mic did you want something just to make the headphones longer or a replacement for the OEM one?

Haha thanks for looking out for me but I dont really need a mic as I rarely use the it and the extension alone looks much nicer IMO .
However, if i have my headphones plugged in, im still able to listen to the call through the headphone while speaking into the phone's built in mic though, right? ( regardless of how much of a retard i would look like )
I believe that does not work. I assume you've used it like that on an iPhone or something?
Logitech/Sennheiser make some nice headphone/handsfree mic replacements.

Do you mean that the extension cord won't work or the headphones won't work while in call? If the headphone doesn't work in call them its not a huge deal to me haha but thanks for pointing it out.

[Q] Headphone Jack

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.

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.

[Q] Has Anyone Been Able to Use Earbuds/Headphones With 3.5mm?

I tried using my earbuds last night. The plug doesn't go in tight (it literally wiggles in the jack) and in no position that I held them, did they work.

mine works without any problems, try another set of headphones, if problem still persist. Contact AT&T to get an exchange.

Hi,
I just purchased this phone about 4 hours ago, I just now plugged in the headphones and mine too was not going in all the way and wiggled, I pushed a little harder than normal and it clicked as if it locked into place and works just fine now.
Good luck

Mine was defective. I took it back to the store where the rep tried it out. He couldn't get it to work either, but neither of us had a prob with the new one.
Wiggling??
Hell, I have to use my upper body strength to pull the headphone plug out of the jack.

Yea I pulled them out and it was a little tougher than I would ever imagine, good thing i don't use them much.
They definitely could have designed the jack better. Shame to have to use brute force to get the headphones in. Thought I was gonna break the interior of it.
yeah, i've been noticing how tight all the ports are (or both ports... whatever). I have to force my charger in so hard and pull it out so hard I'm scared that beautiful glass will crack.... Same on the headphone jack. That, and the millimeters of raised glass above the front bezel, are the only two things about the design i'm not thrilled about.
And here I thought it was just me... I had to force my earbuds in... It scared me, I love my earbuds and I didn't want to hurt them... I feel I have to be careful how I pull them out so that I don't pull the cord right off the end of the jack.

Yeah - using mine were a pain at first also, but with time it "loosened up" I assume. Now I have no problems.

Mine have broken in nicely.

[Q] Easy fix or eBay time?

My Evo 3D has a dodgy headphone socket and it's time to do something about it!
I don't want to start looking into fixing it until I know what to expect because it's my only phone so can I get some advice on fixing it?
I'm a soldering God so no worries there and I'm not bothered about popping it open unless I'm gonna be wasting my time.
Would I be better off getting another and selling mine?
Is there a separate board containing the headphone socket I could buy and just swap it out?
Whadda 'ya think guys?
Mine went early and I just switched to Bluetooth.

Thought of going down this route but I wanna use it on the bike so would have to fit in a crash helmet. The bluetooth boxes that you plug headphones into could work but not sure how loud they are :-S

i use chatter box in my helmet its Bluetooth and works great with this phone you can even answer calls on the bike
Mhm it is not easy fix, but still a nice challenge. I fixed my HTC Blackstone HD with this method (unlock button was broken).
First check if it is possible by watching a YT vid to change the digitizer. Hopefully they take the chip with the headphone socket apart.
Then try too find the part on ebay and get it.
With the help of the previous mentioned YT vid, replace the chip with the headphonesocket. It took me a few hours too fix this by this way because you need to be very carefull. Hope this helps.

I use a jabra clipper at the gym with my phone. works well, especially since the device is so light with the headphones it clips to a tshirt easy. lets me put the phone away somewhere safe.
good volume amplification... forward/pause/back functions

Gonna look into this cos it looks like it would clip onto the bikes fairing and pretty cheap too.
How loud is it? Is is splash proof or anything? Looks kind of rubbery..

[Q] Waterproof with Headphones?

I'm looking at getting one of these but need some clarification.
I know the device is no longer waterproof once a cover is open so how would one listen to music on it when in a wet environment?
I thought maybe the provided headset might create a water-tight seal or something?
If anyone can shed some light on this it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

The tablet ONLY comes with a charger and USB cable - well, mine did at least. And from the looks of the opening for the jack there is no way to make that waterproof if the cover is open.
As has already been mentioned, use a bluetooth headset. If you're like me, and have a favourite pair of wired headphones then I would suggest getting a Sony MW600 bluetooth adapter that has a 3.5mm headphone jack. I have been using it with my phone for commuting and it lasts about 3.5 days (2hour back/forth commute per day) before needing a recharge.
The signal and volume are both very good compared to other adapters I've used and it has next/back/play-pause controls. The only drawback is the volume control... which is a touch sensitive slider. This is a bit temperamental if your fingers are cold and dry.
Good for the price though.
