I just found that when I plug in a head phone jack, the plug is not straight. It is tilted a bit to the right. Does anyone' Z2 has the same problem. There is no problem.in listening to the music but its a bit annoying when seeing it.

Totally straight here. Looks like your jack wasn't assembled properly or you broke it.
Pics?

I didnt know before because my personal earphone plug type is L shape. Yesterday I went to a headphone store and tried some, so I realized that my socket is not right.
here is the picture
Anyone else? Its "a bit" tilted. I cannot notice with short jacks but if they are long enough, it will be so obvious to see.
Today, I went to Tsukumo electronic store (in Sapporo, Japan). I tried plugging in an earphones with Xperia Z2 (SO-03F). The result was that the earphones jack tilted a bit too. Not only Xperia Z2, Xperia Z1f (or Z1 compact) happened to be the same (but less than Z2).

I plugged my headphones in for the first time today and i realized that the left side was quieter than the right. And I unplugged it and replugged it in and it was fine. Then I tried it again and the left side was lower again. I'm not sure what's causing this or if my tablet is defective. But it seems like a hit or miss on getting even volume from both sides.
Anyone else having this problem or can test it out?
I have te same issue and it happens every time I plug in headphones and its annoying.
For me this only happened when I use my SGS2 headphones on Nook.
Actually, I found that SGS2 headphones only work well on the SGS2. With my laptop they have tons of noise, on nook sometimes I have uneven volume.
Although on SGS2 they have the best sound I've ever heard in headphones..
Have you guys tried other headphones?
I only have the one pair of head phones and they are a generic brand from dollar general and they dont have any issues when i use them with either my pc or psp or phone for that matter

Yes I too have that problem. Glad to see that it's not just me & mine.
Stupid question - for those having issues, have you tried wiggling or rotating the plug once it is plugged in? Sometimes I find if I have a spot of oxidization on the plug it will cause said uneven volume. It could explain the difference that occurs when you unplug/plug back in.
Another thing to try would be to plug them in when the device is asleep to see if that helps. If there is anything that tries to reduce the "pop" of the sound of plugging in the headphones it *might* affect how they sound after the fact.
Just grasping at straws here based on my experience with other devices.
I was having this problem until I realized I only had my headphones plugged in half way. Don't mean to be a jerk, but have you tried plugging your headphones in just a little further?

no amount of fiddling with the plug helped me at all still have the issue and its annoying since the speaker isnt loud enough when I am out and about.
Another thing to consider - another issue I've had with certain device/headphone combos is that some headphone jacks either don't have a long enough plug or the plastic jacket of the jack interferes just enough with the plug in the device to affect sound (essentially related to downsay's comment). Try a cheap pair of 'phones from the dollar store with a simple jack and see if the problem persists. If so, perhaps the device is defective...
These are a cheap pair of head phones from dollar general lol.
Edit: Plugging the headphones in while the device was asleep seems to have fixed the issue for me for now. Sound is equal in both cans now
I have tried 4 different earphones, they have been plugged in all the way. Some people have no problem, so I'm beginning to think this is a hardware defect. I'm going to exchange mine and will let you guys know if there is a difference. I'll also try out the display model and see if it suffers from this problem.
Glad to hear you got them to work. Please do let us know how it goes with returning the nook tablet.

I replaced my Nook twice partially due to this issue. Same problem on all three and it's always the left channel that is not connecting properly. I have found that I can get a good connection by plugging the jack in slowly. I think this is more a software issue than a hardware issue.
Yea just exchanged my tablet as well and the same issue is there as well as the one at the store. Plugging in slowly does help. Just before it engages the last click, if you hear both channels you're golden. Hopefully this is a software issue because it seems to be random. Unfortunately the one I exchanged has a creaking case, so now back to exchange again.
I stopped by Radio Shack this afternoon and purchased a $5 female to male 1/4" stereo connector. It seems to have solved the problem. I had similar problem years back with an iPaq PocketPC. Due to the shape of the hole on the iPaq/Nook, the headphone/earphone connector isn't inserting deeply enough.
Another solution would be to use something like a Dremel Mototool and shave away some of the excess material on the headphone/earphone adapter, so it can insert a little bit deeper.

What is everyone testing their audio on? The stock media player? Video (what program)? Is it on every application you try?
I haven't had any issues with audio in games, websites or MX player at all other than a loudish pop when some programs start up, but I'm using a set of Denon stereo headphones (so, good (large/long, gold) headphone plugs on it, jiggling the connection does nothing).
hi guys, basicallynim wondering if anybody else is experiencing the issues that i am.
Essentially im ecstatically happy with my z2, except the headphone port seems faulty. While driving i use the 3.5mm jack on the z2 to connect tk the car.
This is when i noticed the faults with the headphone port. If i insert a 3 or 4 pid connector, either a 3.5-3.5 cable, a standard 3pin headphone connector, or a 4 pin headset, a slight nudge on the connector disconnects the headphones/cable and music stops. Sometimes, google now gets triggered as well. The same things happen if i twist the jack, whatever is connected. It also seems quite loose, and there is no positive click when a jack is inserted.
I would upload a video showing what happens, but my only video camera is in my z2.........
It has also not been submerged/wet at all, and is kept in a case (i tested the jack without the case as well, but it still happens)
In my brand new Z2 I also don't hear that click when inserting headphones but they are in the deep all the way. I tested 4 different earphones and speakers but none gave me any problems(I was twisting jack and trying to move it but connection was too tight), no loss of sound. I think you should get your Z2 serviced or replaced. Also I have a question. When you plug in normal headphones or speakers(not the noise cancelling ones), do you get a notification saying that you connected them or not? I only get something like this when Smart Connect is enabled...
I have issues with jack too. When you pulg in headphones, it sometimes wont recognize that something was plugged in, but if you try to twist the jack in the phone, it may get working (the sound is clear, no loss). The problem is when you put the phone in a pocket and walk, the jack is moving there so it is very likely to stop working and u have to twist it again.
When I bought the phone, I had no problems with it, but after first water test (which resulted fine, there was no water inside), the problem started.
Got the phone for 2 months and the issue still persists.
My solution is plugging in, search for the right spot before it starts worrking and walk with phone in a hand, holding the cable so it wont move in the jack.
i got it replaced in the end, had the new one for 2 weeks with no issues, so definitely a hardware fault.
Headphone jack not working after submerging in the water
Hi,
I submerged my xperia z2 last night in the swimming pool. It's been 12 hours since I submerged my phone. Every thing is running perfectly except for my headphone jack. The first time I used my earphone there's small amount of water coming out from the hole. The headphones is not working because it's not fully dried from water? I tried cleaning it up and blowing some air for some particles to get dry but it still not working.
I need help please because my phone is not insured because I bought it online
What should I do?!
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.
I just bought this phone 2 months ago. It's running well until now. But I have a problem, my phone can't connect to several audio jack. I mean, it can't be connected to Samsung's earphone and my car entertainment audio jack. Can someone solve this problem?
Thankyou
Try to clean the headphone jack port (e.g. with a needle). It may have some dust in it preventing a proper connection.

have you ruled out the audio cables? Id suggest taking a bit of cotton of an ear swab and cleaning in there.

Yes I have, do you mean that I should clean my phone audio port?
This happens, where one product accessory conflicts with another product. Looks the same, feels the same, not the same. I had an Xperia X10 since it came out till (well still have it) I bought this last month and so far so great. To your question/s, try another cable/connection. Like I said X10 had a separate accessory for different headsets, which had a male tip on the one end and a button +mic female tip for the other which made it easier for me to choose between earbuds or headsets. It worked on the iPhone and and The Compact Z3 but does not work on the Z5C. I did happen to have an extension from another blah blah blah but no button/mic part which doesn't bother me since I still use my phone like it was still hanging from a wall, phone in hand next to ear lol. It also work on one kind Samsung but didn't on two other kinds of Samsungs. So yea try another connector.
Well, all of a sudden the headphone jack won't go all the way in, which means I can't use headphones anymore. Has anyone else had the same issue or any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks
Dude, blow some pressure air on it. Maybe is something stuck in the jack. I had the same issue on a Xperia phone. Is was a small stone stuck in the jack port.

I tried to blow pressure air on it, I tried shaking it, I took a small twig and tried "fishing" for stuff and nothing works.. Now I tried with a screwdriver and ta-dah, a little piece of fabric somehow got in there and got very compact and now it's all back to normal
I recommend toothpic for this, you won't scrach anything. Had this once. I think it happens because headphones are on top so when you slide your phone into the pocket, everything you have there can land in the port.
