Phone's Headphone jack is damaged - LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, the plug of my headphones that came with the phone was bent a few weeks ago and at first there was no problem. But after a while the audio stopped working in one of the earphones so i tried with a different set of headphones, just to discover that with them the audio is completely distorted. My guess is that the bent headphones damaged the inside of my phone's jack.
Does anyone knows how to fix the phone's jack?

what is your exact problem?? the audio came distorced or the audio jack dont play any sound trought it??
if they come distorced i belive you really damage your 3,5mm headphone jack, so the fix is to replace it (hope you dont damage the DAC too because they could happen).
- if one pair of headphones dont look good then you need to know to avoid use it, you now know that! i dont really know what the problem could be but, in worst case you damage the phone itself!

The problem is distorced audio (with good headphones)
And what do you mean by damaging the DAC?

V10 have a dedicated audio chip, if you get the sound distorced with the Hi-Fi option turned on maybe the DAC is damaged, if dont try to insert the headphones and turn on the hi-fi option in your quick toogles.

[Q] Sound over speaker | headphones plugged in

So. Is there any way (software) to make phone "think", that jack is empty, when it isn't? I need headphones plugged in as antenna for fm radio and the sound going through speaker. Now i'm using half lacquered plug so the phone can't see it.
Sorry for my English.

I had this exact problem the other day!!!! No matter what I did it wouldn't work, tried flashing new ROMs, different headphones etc. So I replaced the jack and it worked, took 10mins and only cost £4!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-G...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3f156a393c That's the part you need for a GT-i9100, no idea if it any different for the G version or American versions of this phone though

Hope this helps

I think you didn't understand me right (probably it's my fault). I have no problems with my jack. I meant
I need headphones plugged in as antenna for fm radio and I need the sound going through speaker but it's going through headphones as it should
i'm using half lacquered plug so the phone can't see it (as it shoud because the plug is lacquered by me for this)

And what I'm searching is the way (maybe some edit in /sys/devices or something else) to make (by myself) my phone "think", that there is no plugged in headphones when there is. If I understand you right, I need to simulate your problem (reversibly).
Doesn't anybody know?
There's an option in the FM radio settings to output audio through the speaker...

SONY Z2 headphone jack

my sony z2 detects my apple headphones but when i start a song , you can hear anything , also tried lg and samsung headphones but nothing , it connects but there is no sound , is it a software problem , i have 5.1.1
Im sad to say but it can be that your head phone jack is dead. Have you submerged your handset under water? It can stop working while its wet, all water must exit the jack before it will start working. Do you have another device to test the headphones if they are 100% operational?
You can also try another music app to see if it will play sound. Also try clearing the data and cache from the default music app. Have you installed any sound mods? Something like viper for android for e.g.? This may also disable or make problems with sound.
Finally, if nothig goes, try to factory reset the phone to eliminate the posibility of a software glitch.
my headphones are working , also i tried another apps but nothing , also i didnt put it in water , any chance that only the original headphones would work , i didnt get them with the phone and never tried them , it detects the headphones but there is no sound

Any standard 3,5mm headphones should work fine with Z2. Theres a good chance your headphone jack is malfunctioning. It obviously has power but it does not output any sound. There is not much you can do if you did all mentioned above, thats all you can do as for the troubleshooting goes for your self. Take your device to the nearest sony service.
it will be no water resistant any more right if i change the headphone jack ?
it would be better if i get a Bluetooth headphone right ? and recommendations ?
thanks a lot guys

If you take it to an official service and repair it with genuine part then it will remain waterproof. But yes you could use BT headphines although they are more expensive than regular ones and usually run arround 60 dollars for a decent pair.

if only jack flat,i guess because "the phone thinks" there's a headphones jack inside it ( cause short circuit)and mute the speakers , you can go around it with root, if you cant find replacement or bluetooth headphones\car BT kit

Headphone jack only works when twisting it/ pushing it around

When I plug in my headphones it only reproduce sound out of the left side, same problem with other headphones I tested to discard the chances of being the headphones problem and not the DAC problem. It's not the headphones fault since I tested those with several other devices and they worked perfectly.
Any way to fix this issue or at least any work around?
It's a freaking shame since the DAC is the best by far, and it was the sole reason I bought this phone

Any kernel/rom with headphone jack stuck issue fix?

Hello,
Is there any rom or custom kernel for mido who has this headphone jack stuck issue fixed? Like some kernels/roms for kenzo used to do.
This is not a software bug, it's problem with your headphone port - there must be something inside or it's just dirty, try to insert/remove headphone jack quickly few times.

This trick used to be useful eariler but it ain't anymore. It's just stuck right now
There's no exact fix for this, it happens due to connectivity issues just use other headphones and listen songs for 2-3 hrs. It will be fixed same happened with me. Or connect disconnect the headphones.
