Phone: Samsung Galaxy SII (obviously)
Custom Rom: Cyanogen (ICS version - not sure which)
Problem: Some headphones & microphone socket speakers do not work properly with my headphone jack. All x-mini speakers will take ages to work after plugging into the headphone jack, I will usually need to twiddle it around a lot or take it out and plug it in again to get any response. After it does work, twisting the headphone connector will change the volume of the speakers/headphones. This is the same case with 'JVC HAFX1X Xtreme Xplosives In Ear Canal Headphones', these will often not work for a while, and when they do I will have to twiddle the headphone connector to actually get any bass. This is a real annoyance considering I cannot have my phone in my pocket without the headphone connector getting taped and me losing the bass in my music.
Things I've tried so far: Checking the headphone jack for traces of dust/fluff, cleaning the headphone jack using a cotton bud
As a side note, the only headphones that do work perfectly every time are the 'Sony MDR-V150 headphones'
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.
Bump.
bump again :/
I got the phone on monday and everything was fine. Today i head out and wanted to try out the headphones and music comes through the speakers and not the headset. the phone hsn't been submerged in water or anything. anyone had this issue or possible fix?
thanks
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?!
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.
Every headphones i've tried turning in or some x-mini speaker was buzzing and on the other phones all of them were working fine.
I tried cleaning it with alcohol, still buzzing.
Does anyone know solution to this problem, or at least new headphone jack to replace
Thanks in advanced
