Hi, I recently bought an used g925f, and directly modded with a custom Rom (now I'm on carhd Tom, but tries several ones nougat based) , without trying that all is working properly. It has 2 things broken, led behind multitasking button is broken, and the 3,5mm Jack is not working (don't recognize headset). No problem with first issue, but the second is really annoying. So, googling a bit other people had similar issue, but they solved after cleaning the hole, not my case unlucky. So do you thing is hardware related, or sw? In case of hardware issue, changing the board with the connector, will solve the problem?
Thank you

All of a sudden there is no sound coming out of one of the headphones on the headset. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else and there is a way of fixing it.
You need to try another headset on the xda which will ascertain if it is the heaset, the socket or the motherboard.
I have tried with a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter and a sterreo headset and still have the same problem.
Does that mean the problem is with the socket or motherboard ?
and if so is there an easy way to fix ?
Could this be software related ?
I have the same problem. I updraded the ROM, which involved a hard reset, but that did not fix it. I thought it must be the headphones, so bought another set (same O2 ones) but the problem remains.
Curiously, the buttons on the handset still function.
Dont know what to try next, it sounds like a hardware problem.
Hello Dear Xda,
I am having a very strange issue with the Audio Jack. When I got my phone I used samsung headphones and they seemed to have worked perfectly. Now when I tried using other headphones - i.e. the ones that work perfectly with my other devices, it simply wont register. I put the jack in, but nothing happens. the music keeps playing. I thought its only that headphone so I tried others, such as my Car's cassette adapter still the same issue arises.
Now I tried my mothers phone which is a Galaxy SL and it works perfectly with all the headphones that wont work for me. then I decided to squeez teh headphone a bit harder and turn it around in different directions and it started to work a bit, with terrible quality, but it worked. and if i hold it into a certain awkward position you could hear the sound almost flawlessly.
I have came to the conclusion that my jack might have a problem. But I am not aware how to fix the problem. Cause it works perfectly with some headphones, but it wont with others. Does this requires full change of the jack, or can it be fixed by readjusting it somehow?
inb4: I have restarted the phone several times, changed to factory setting and even changed rom to no avail, so this clearly is no software issue.
Thanks in advance
Replace jack. Should be YouTube videos around/Google search might reveal how to do it, but in all honesty, if you're not competent with microelectronics (like me), take it to someone who knows what they're doing (local mobile repair shop). Shouldn't be expensive to fix as the jack is a cheap part, main component of the fix will be labour.
Hi. I have a very strange issue on my device.
Whenever i plug in an earphone/Headphone, i can listen to the sounds ONLY from the left earpiece.
I cross checked the earphone with my desktop, laptop and others' phones. It is working perfectly.
I just need to know if this is a software related issue or a hardware issue.
I tried changing my ROM in case the current ROM had problems. Even after changing to a different ROM, the problem persisted.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Sounds like a hardware error to me if you are having the issues with different ROMs. Try different headphones. If they don't work it MAY be the jack. But nothing is for sure here. :-/

I tried with different headphones too. Problem remains. The jack?
If you have the knowledge, could you share with me what MIGHT have happened? A GUESS?
Sorry,
the jack for me (I'm German) is the hole you stick your headphones into.
Unfortunately after some time and maybe some rough treatment the jack gets damaged. Google "repair headphone jack" and you will find many people with that problem.
If you can not fix the issue by any software and the headphones themselves are working it is most probably a hardware failure on the phone, jack is dislocated/broken a bit.
Google and maybe even repair service is your friend now from what I can tell. :-/
First try to clean the phones jack. Sometimes, garbage gets inside preventing good contact between the earpiece and the phone's jack. Use a toothpick or something (preferably not something metallic) to scrub it and see if it works.

Thank you. I will try that.
If this doesn't work, can it be solved without getting it to a service center?
Because i have lost my warranty due to physical damage almost 8 months back.
It worked fine till last week, but somehow this started.

If its not garbage, its hardware damage. You'll need to get it replaced. Luckily, replacing the jack is usually very cheap.

Thank you for the information.
I really appreciate it.
Hi.
When I try to open the camera the flash light flashed about 5 times and I get Camera Failure.
To start I have to tell the story from the beginning:
My initial problem with this phone was that the audio out from the 3.5mm plug was not good, sound would only be heard at maximum level and there were digital gaps/noise.
To start I replaced the part where the 3.5mm plug was integrated but the results were the same with the new one.
In the process I changed the FW always using original roms from samsung-updates, the audio problem persisted.
Then I replaced the Audio Chip WM1811AE and the audio problem was solved.
After this, while testing the phone I noticed this camera problem.
I know that before I started repairing this sound problem the camera was working, but I don't know is the problem started because of the audio chip replacement or the FW change.
Any Ideas?
This is a Vodafone PT phone and I'm now downloading older FW files to test but the this downloads are very slow.
Best Regards.
Update:
Today I tried a new camera to conclude that the problem don't come from the camera itself, it must be something around it.
I will try to remove the sound chip a solder it again, maybe there is some short in some balls in the grid that is causing some king of problem in the data/address bus that affects the camera...
Any ideas before I tray this?
Best Regards.
Hey there!
This is actually exactly what I encountered! I had messed up audio coming from speakers and during calls. Then I had the audio IC replaced which solved the audio problem. Unfortunately the camera stopped working after that. I reflashed stock firmwares, but it didn't help. Btw, selfie camera works fine in 3rd party apps. The LED Flash (torch) doesn't work.
I found out that the audio IC (which I got replaced by shady repair guys) is placed right above the Camera IC on the other side of the PCB. So It's pretty easy to mess up when replacing the audio circuit. And sure enough after some inspecting, I saw flux burn marks around the camera IC. So I'm almost sure that reworking the camera IC will fix the camera issue. And this is probably what happened to your phone also. For some reason I stopped at that point, and my camera is still yet to be fixed.
So have you had any progress with the camera since?
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.
