Hey there,
Today I decided to eventually officially get the xperia z2 so I opened the headphones and plugged them in. They're absolutely amazing, better than anything I've had so far in terms of in-ear headphones. However, I noticed a problem. Not sure if it's just me with faulty headphones but when they're plugged in and they're not like leaning a certain way, there's extreme noise, songs randomly change, Google Search app randomly opens etc. If I spin the headphones while they're plugged in as in just turn the 3.5mm jack around while it's in the hole, songs stop playing, there's really loud noise too. Have I got faulty headphones or a faulty headphone jack/phone?
Thanks in advance for any help! If some of you could please try reproduce this with your noise cancelling headphones and report back I'd appreciate it tremendously!
P.s it might be worth nothing I did put the phone in a bit of water for about 10 seconds just to test it is waterproof and I assume the headphone jack is too so it shouldn't be that right?
Jack might take upto few hours to dry up, says so in user manual

That's weird. I did the whole water thing yesterday afternoon so it's easily been over 24 hours and it has been heating up like crazy today because I've been using it so much so it should've dried up by now surely?
Thanks for your reply! :good:
Yeah it should be fine by now, then probably faulty jack or headphones as this is first time i hear this problem.

Just tried a standard pair of headphones they seem to work fine with no interference and no random music stoppages. If I spin the NC headphones while it is plugged in, I hear noise only in the right headphone. The noise specifically sounds like how it would if you were on the phone to someone and they were tapping their headphone mic on their end then the music stops. Hmm guess I'll be going back to get them swapped tomorrow!
Thanks again!
Edit: Just tried the headphones on my laptop and they seem to be working fine regardless of position. I think it may be the jack after all. Will be taking phone in to be swapped/repaired tomorrow.
Im no professor in these things, but i think nc headphones have more contact points compared to usual headphones, so if say 1 of those extra contacts were messed up, only z2 would react to it while laptop would ignore it and use them as conventional headphones. Just my theory, dont know how valid it is

Yeah I feel like either one of the points are messed up on the headphones or one of the contact points in the jack is messed up. I'll have to go in store tomorrow and try another pair of 5 contact point headphones as I don't have any others with me. I'll update tomorrow afternoon thanks again for trying to help! :good::highfive:
I have exactly the same problem, 10 - 15 minutes after a brief bit of radio in the bathroom, but the phone wasn't inside the actual shower, I plugged my noise cancelling headphones in and immediately heard a couple of small pops. Thought nothing of it to be honest, but as my journey to work went on the noises got louder and more distorted and seemed to be being caused by the background noise itself. Then the phone just went mental, started getting very hot and taking me to the Smart Connect App for no reason, the speakers stopped working completely, could call people, but not hear anything (dial tone or voice), even after multiple re-starts nothing. Tried calling my phone from my desk phone and the speakers were working for ringtone/notification, but not music and voice! Then after turning it off and leaving it for a while, things seemed to come back to normal, but then I tried plugging the headphones in and once again the phone went mental. Running stock ROM, unrooted on 17.1.A.2.55 (STILL!) I'm a bit miffed to say the least. The phone has in some respects exceeded my expectations, but sometimes feels like a half-baked product.
Now the phone isn't recognising the noise cancelling headphones at all and the phone has mad battery drain and random volume issues (alarms are refusing to silence and quiet, then loud speaker volume) considering I was in a steamy room and not actually immersing the device in water.. This totally sucks going to Sony store tomorrow..
OK just an update on what's been happening with my phone/headphones since my last post. Went to Sony store (and three store) and was basically told "meh, phone Sony" so I called 08705237237 and the girl on the phone told me to "repair the software" first and if this don't fix the problem then send headphones in for repair! As for the headphones, they are no longer recognised as noise cancelling ones for 99% of the time, when they are recognised, they make the phone go utterly mental and freeze up! Very annoying. Will try software repair and report back. Will this error affect the use of the stm10 mic I have on preorder, will have to see..

Tonight I was pulling up songs for my daughter to sing at karaoke (they didn't have a good selection) and every time I approached the table with the amps and sound equipment, the 3vo freaked out. First it started backing out of YouTube. Then in the middle of YouTube it called the first number on my call log: wasn't even touching the phone. Then I tried music from the media player and it was skipping forward/playing fast. Finally I move the phone away from the equipment and set it to the side and it started behaving.
Seems like the 3vo needs better RF shielding. I was still getting a 3G signal yet the phone was losing it's mind anywhere near that audio equipment table. I've done the same thing with my Evo 4G with no problem.

Shouldn't really bring a phone near audio equipment anyway. Att phones make the equipment go crazy whenever the phone gets a text.
How close were you when it started though?

Interesting I am a sound engineer have not had that problem yet I work for a large church and been laying the 3d down on the Midas Desk we have not affected by that or the MediaMatrix NION, TC Electronics EQ Stations, numerious effects processors that are anywhere from 10 to 20 years old. Might be the way they shielded the audio equipment if you could let me know what type of equipment was in that area I might be able to tell ya what is happening a lot of the lower end equipment is not so good on the shielding.
I don't have a problem around my sound system and amps. Maybe the shielding issue is with the audio equipment.
I've noticed that my phone does the same things also. It does it when any head phones are plugged in then moved slightly. It does it every time too. Launches voice command then calls most recent number on my dail list. Quite annoying.

Sounds like it may be more of a problem with consumer grade equipment, than pro gear or low end pro gear. I will have to test that on a few other sound systems

Yes, YES! That's exactly what it was doing! I sat at the table in the restaurant and had everything queued up on YouTube (that's where all the karaoke song versions are). The song would be queued up and I made sure the whole thing loaded (bar got all the way to the right) so I knew it wouldn't stutter during the song. Then I'd take it up and as soon as I plugged the headphone thing in (which was connected to their amp of course) that's when the phone went crazy. Sometimes it'd back out of YouTube. Once it actually placed a call and I had to hit "end call". And once... it kept bringing up the voice command menu on top of YouTube. Did that over and over until I had to back out and let someone else sing until I could regroup.
So it seems the problem might be the headphone jack and some type of interference coming through that.
Mike
Every HTC phone I have owned has had issues with the headphone jack making the phone go crazy. You're definitely not the only one experiencing this. My 3D is completely useless using the headphone jack even if I leave the phone alone and don't do anything other than press play in the music app. It just skips around, opens different apps and calls people whenever it wants to.
I use headsets with my phone all the time, from cheapy ear buds to Bose noise canceling headsets and my phone works flawlessly. No weird behavior. You may want to exchange your phone before your 30 days are up because that is not normal.
Sounds like the machine your plugging into is sending current or interference back to your phone and messing it up.

Any headsets or earbuds work fine. The problem only happens when you hook the phone up via headphone jack to some amp: receiver, guitar amp, etc. I'll try the headset blocker app. Sounds like it might work... but in the year I owned my old Evo 4G I hooked it up to dozens of different amps. Never a problem.

Wow,
I thought i was going crazy, but my phone is displaying the exact same symptoms as you two. It's fine on normal headphones/earbuds, but when i hook it up to a tape adapter (work truck), it keeps launching voice command, mystically fast forwarding through songs, and redialing my last placed call - very annoying!!!

Installed it but I guess I have to give up and ask: which way is on? I put the widget on my home screen and it goes on there looking grayed out. If you click it, the icon (lettering) turns white and a green bar appears on the bottom of the widget. Click it again and it grays out. All the time it says "Block Headset".
WTF does that mean? Is it showing the current state... or is it telling you that if you press it, it will "become" that state? I'd rather know before I have to test it only to find out it's the opposite of what I thought. A simple checkbox on the widget with a check mark that appears/disappears would have been a lot better.

Thats because your amp equipment is either: A: Feeding back to the evo, and every other device you are connecting to it... (Aka, Enjoy broken stuff eventually when it sends a good jolt to it)
B: Your equipment does not support the control-talk interface that most modern cellphones have now days not only allowing for audio, But control signals to be passed to the device through a new third contact. (Example: Take any iPhone earbuds, Or other headphones with a mic in them, And examine them next to the plug for your amp, or just standard headphones without a mic... Two Contacts become Three...)
C: Both of the above, Amp lacks third contact, Feedback hits evo through the third contact in the phone which is now connected twice to the same contact on the plug.
Side Note, I have never had issues with low grade equipment and either my Evo 4G, My Evo 3D, My HTC Vogue, Mogul, or Apache because I have tested the plugs for feedback... Grounded Outlets are your friends, Also, Un-Overloaded ones help alot too... Also Sometimes, Crap wiring in a place is just going to f*** with equipment no matter what you do...
Only GSM phones have that issue... I've been an audio engineer for the last 8 years...

It's little different but,
My phone was plugged to the AC charger, and whenever I moved my USB cable it went absolutely crazy.
I re-plugged micro USB cable and it didn't happen again WTH?
Hey guys, I had the same issue yesterday when I hooked my phone up to my car's Aux port. It gave me problems for about 2 minutes going completely crazy. I than exited the music program and unhooked my phone.
I than hooked my phone back up, went back into the music program and havent had the problem happen again.
Wanted to report that my wife told me her 3vo went bananas when she hooked it to the Aux jack on our GMC Acadia's radio. Songs fast forwarding, making calls, etc. I confirmed it by trying it first (couldn't get even one song to play) and then I downloaded headset blocker from the market and turned it on. Not a problem since! So headset blocker seems to be the solution but the bottom line is that these 3vo's seem to be overly sensitive to getting random commands via the headset jack. And we've been using standard 3 prong cables. I still think it's a problem with the phone, but at least headset blocker is a workaround.

Music plays fine out of the wired headset...it always has. The headset has functioned properly until about two weeks ago. At that time, my Atrix began to think that I was pressing the headset button. Constantly. Over and over. Any time the screen is on with the headset in, it redials automatically. When the screen is off, it does it too, because when I turn the screen on, it gives me the vlingo vs. voice command box. Also, when I make a call with the headset plugged in, the other person can somehow not hear me at all, until they call me back, and it's fine. The phone thinks the headset button is being pressed once every few seconds. THIS IS INCREDIBLY ANNOYING.
I know it's not the headset, because I've tried three different headsets (two by Motorola, both the 'official' wired headsets of the Atrix, and one third-party), all with the same result. Also, it's not just my phone! Oddly enough, I replaced my Atrix with AT&T's warranty, and THE NEW PHONE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.
Has anyone else experienced this, or have the slightest clue what is going on? I've looked around the internet for weeks now and I haven't seen a single instance of it. Pleeeeease. This is brutal.
My headset with mic and button does not have any issues. Its the bose MIE2 mobile phone headset.
Yes I have experienced this as well and it is super annoying I will prob swap it out and hope I don't get another messed up one. Sometimes when I am in my car and connected to my bluetooth handsfree it'll do the same thing and start a song playing and I don't even push anything!!! Hope someone figures this one out.
theres defo something funny about the atrix headphone jack and remote controls.
At first my nexus one remote worked fine with it, but it started doing funny things, then flat out would go crazy (issuing commands without me touching it etc.)
Gave up and went wireless, now I only use wired @ the gyma dn they're just dumb headphones w/out remote
ME TOO!!
Yes, yes, and yes on having this problem. I use my headphones (SkullCandy FMJ) sometimes when riding my bike and yesterday all I kept hearing was "please say a command...did you say...I'm sorry please try again" over and over...hard to deal with at 70MPH!!! Hope this gets fixed, I thought it was my headphones, but it sounds like another GB issue. I don't have any problems when using my SENA SMH10 Bluetooth inside the helmet.
I had this same problem, mine got randomly solved. You could find how the wiring world for the Atrix and block that connection or cut off the controller on the headphone and solder your headphones back together.

Thanks for the feedback, but a)I'm not looking to do any soldering or rewiring (I'm good with software mods, but not hardware mods), and b) it never happened until recently, then I swapped out the phone for a new Atrix, and it happened right off the bat - again with all three headsets. Tried a bluetooth, worked fine, no problem.
I tried a new headset (skull candy something-or-other) and it's been working so far, inexplicably.
I made a voodoo doll of my Atrix and poked it a bunch of times in its little voodoo headphone jack. Seems to have done the trick. I'd recommend that method.
I have this problem too with my headphones from my Sony x1, or x10. I cant remember which one. But as soon as I plug them in the phone goes nuts!
Which really sucks because they are they best headset/ headphones I have ever used for my funny shaped ears.
I think mine fixed after I dropped it and the headphones came out Anyways as long as its resolved that's awesome.

i also started to experience this issues.At first i thought it is kernel or ROM issue but then after multiple test and experiment it is the Atrix 3.5mm headset jack is the culprit.If im not mistaken it is due to pressure contact sensor inside headphone jack.Please anyone know how to rectify this kind of problem do post your solutions for us.TQ

You bike at 70MPH? Holy.
so no one found a real fix or solution for this problem? Maybe we need to make a petition and submit to motorola
I had the same problem with a BB9700. It ended up being a damaged headphone jack. I figure some crap from my pocket had been in the jack when I plugged in the head set. Which jammed everything into it wrecking the receiving end of things.
Luckily I had a spare housing which came with a new jack. I'm not sure if it's as easy to replace on the Atrix since I haven't had the opportunity to tear it apart yet.
Power amp has settings that fix my controls and it works great.

I have same problem too. But I have this problem on stock ROM and CM10.1 (with 3.1 kernel) ROM. I don't have this problem with any other ROM.
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

Headphone bug
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?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
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.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
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).
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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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...

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.
Could headphone users try something for me...when I'm hooked up and when I'm not playing anything the headphone symbol flickers and a sound almost like that of a heartbeat can be heard.
This is kind of annoying as i take 4 flights a week and use noise cancelling headphones...often times with nothing playing.
Is it just my phone...or have we all got that?
I'm on Nougat btw.

What model/brand? Could it be because of a specific headphone jack layout?
I've seen Sony's DNC headphones are ONLY compatible with their phones due a specific headphone jack layout their phone's are prepared for...
If sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, I'd factory format the device in case a user-installed app is triggering that behaviour.
I'm having exactly the same issue, I'm not sure whether it's a software issue or a loose connection in the headphone jack.
Its software...there's nowt wrong with my phone or headphones...tried different headphones also...they all did it. The fact that the issue disappears the moment u play something confirms it.
Annoyed the hell out of me flying home last night. Just gotta live with it I guess.
I had a issue with my headphones to but if I don't push the jack in all the way they work fine
