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?
I just recently received the white s3 for tmobile and I was wondering if anyone has this static noise in the music app, but I thought it was just my phone but it transfers into my head phones and makes the noise as well
Any fixes?

S3 for V here. Mine does the same thing, but the music app doesn't even have to be on. Ive already posted in the bugs thread about this and a few others say they haven't had any issues, so I feel its an isolated incident. I only get it when I plug in a TRS jack. When I plug in a TRRS jack, I hear no static. I'm going out on a limb here and going to guess that the sleeve could be bridging connections in the receptacle. But if that's the case, the hardware/drivers should be able to handle that as I haven't had any issue with my iphone and that was a TRRS receptacle, along with a host of many other phones.

I have the Verizon variant and I get this same static. For me it sounds like a crackling/popping sound. Having the screen on makes it worse. I even get it during turn by turn navigation and through my car's bluetooth audio.
Verizon and Samsung support have been worthless. There are no stores with replacement stock within 100 miles of me.
I have the same issue with my sprint gs3. I'm hoping it's just a software issue.
I had this issue for a minute on my Sprint S3, then I realized that I hadn't plugged the headphones in quite all the way. They looked like they were in, but there's a final little click. Solved my issue.
The issue we're talking about happens on the speaker phone, earphones and even audio through bluetooth

I got my replacement shipped to me in several days. If it were a software issue then there would've been more reports. Pretty sure it's a hardware issue. Replace it asap before your return period expires.

Well I followed your advise and unrooted the phone to get a replacement.they of course didn't have any in stock so it'll be there by Tuesday. The rep played music through a set of earphones he had and no further questions were asked. I just hope the replacement doesn't have a different issue like the ones I've read around here. Even my battery life has been spectacular.
I only have this happen to me when I'm charging the phone as well. Have you tried only having the audio cable plugged in?

I've tried everything I can think of. When it happens while the phone rings I guess there's noting else to do. I even rechecked after unrooting it,downloading the latest sprint update but it seems it's hardware related.
it's not only music playing apps but even others like tune in radio do it as well.
I just tried putting the music on the my external sd card and it doesn't do the popping there. when it reads it off the internal storage is when all the popping begins.
Hello, as my title states, my S3 (Verizon) works wonderfully. The only issue I am having concerns playing music. It doesn't matter if the song is stored on the phone or on an external microSD card. It doesn't matter which media player I use (I prefer Poweramp). Whenever it is plugged into a charger (wall or car) and I move or touch the phone physically, the music cuts out for a brief second. The player icon in the notfication bar also fades away, then comes back quickly. It's almost like I pause and unpause the music quickly.
I have tried rebooting the phone and blowing the microUSB port with compressed air, but that doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
It plays a sound if you're connecting to a charger or usb doesn't it? From my experience, any media (music, radio, in-game sound) briefly mutes then resumes playing when using connector. Don't know how it'd work if you set it up so it doesn't play the sound

Sounds like a faulty charger. It would explain why it cuts off when you move your phone.

It only does it when it is already connected, not when I am in the act of connecting it.
I do suspect that it is something with the charger, however it does it with multiple chargers....Although, come to think of it, I buy cheap ones from Amazon, haha. I bet that is the problem. I wonder why that is. Maybe the charger is making my phone briefly think it is in dock mode.
Anyway, thanks for the replies!
Hello everyone, I am having an issue with my galaxy s3. The problem is that I can't remember when this issue started and if it's a software or hardware issue.
This only happens sometimes and I've tried different headphones and it happens with all the headphones I have and once again it happens sometimes.
When I am trying to listen to music, sometimes the music plays through the headphones (most of time this is what happens) but sometimes the music (with the headphones plugged in) plays through the loudspeaker. I think it could be a hardware issue from the fact that sometimes while listening to music the music stops as if I had disconnected the headphones from the jack when in fact they're still plugged in.
Since it happens sometimes I'm not sure it's a hardware issue and I should get it changed. I haven't rooted or changed anything. Stock dbt international S3. Could this be a software issue or a hardware issue?
Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Most likely hardware.
It sounds like a hardware issue, it is common with headphone jacks.
You could try a few things though, like cleaning the headphone jack with Q-Tips, trying different headphones and using a different app to play music.
Have you put extra stress on the headphone jack? Or dropped the phone badly?
If all else fails, backup your apps, contacts, pictures and all other personal data and install stock firmware using Kies.
Best of Luck!
Mine does this too sometimes. Omega latest version 34 here. Headphones I use are Sennheisers made for iphone. They are not totaly compatible with Samsung running android.
Yeah, I'm running completely stock! Maybe I'll give it a clean with some alcohol and a q tip. If that doesn't work I'll reset and wait for the next update. If it isn't fixed by then, then I'll be exchanging it under warranty.
Any other suggestions?

Are you sure it has the same issues with stock headphones? Mine not. Its more like an incompatibility with headphones made for IOS/iphone, an issue that is not present at all on HTC phones for instance. Therefore Im in serious doubt that this is either a problem covered by the guarantee or solved by cleaning with alcohol. Keep us posted.
I'd like to update:
After updating to 4.1.2 I'm still having the same issue. I cleaned it out with alcohol and a Q-tip, and it worked! for all of 10 minutes... I plugged and unplugged maybe 20 times and it worked fine every time. I set it down for about an hour and then I came back and tried it again and it didn't work!
This is frustrating. After Xmas I'm going to format it and set everything back to factory (no apps, no data, nothing!) and see if that fixes it. I guess it could be an error somewhere with an app or software.... If that doesn't fix it right off the bat then I'm taking it in.... Unless any of you have any suggestions!
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..
