I don¨t use my headphones very often with my phone but when I do I always have problems. Putting it all the way in, I only get sound from one headphone/speaker. Pulling it out and then in again and the phone speakers stars sounding. Rotating the headphone connector and pulling it out and putting it back in usually resolves the issue after a while. I have cleaned my jack with alcohol and compressed air but this doesn't seem to make any difference. And the headphone jack can't possible be worn. Anyone else had this problem?
I´m having the same issue, hopefully we´ll get some reply with a fix.

Hey guys I need some help.
I noticed the last few days that my headphone jack in my phone is not working any more. Basically what happens it that when I'm trying to play music on Winamp, all I get is some crackling noises and a very feint noise of the song playing in the background. When trying to play a podcast in Beyondpod, I just get no audio at all. These things do work when playing out of my speaker, however.
I am on Jokersax CM9 v 0.6.1. I don't have enough posts to post in that forum to see if it was related to that ROM or not, but I don't believe it was.
I'm guessing this is a hardware issues and may not be able to be fixed but I wanted to see if you guys had some ideas first.
Thanks!
what gives you the idea it may be a hardware issue? Have you tried cleaning out the headphone jack with say a can of air?
you can buy a new back cover / chassis housing / speaker / antennae / audio jack for cheap on ebay, and it replaces pretty easy, the actual audio jack cable to the motherboard is a bit more involved of a replacement but it can be done also, there are youtube guides on replacing digitizers and that process gets you all the way to the volume / audio jack / camera cable.
I had this same issue once. There was a very tiny piece of paper/pocket lint shoved into the bottom of the jack. Find the smallest tweezers you can or use a paperclip and some patience to remove it if you find anything.
Have you tried using different earphones?
Try switching to CM7, when I was on CM9 my earphones were glitchy also. They would randomly stop playing, sometimes every minute sometimes every 10 minutes.
If it doesn't work try doing what the guy above me said. Try his first, it seems the easiest haha
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 :/
Hi,
Im wondering if someone can help!
I use my headphone jack everyday.
Today the headphone stopped working. Initially I thought it was the headphone so i tried 2 other pairs. Nothing. Cannot hear anything. I play music from the speaker and that works fine. But as soon as i plug in I dont hear anything.
Searching through the other threads, I found lint mentioned. So i blew in the jack and also tried to a pin. It appears to be clean.
Using an app I selected for a wired headset to be the only output. Now, when music is playing and when I putting in/pulling out the headphones in I can hear a crackling noise but nothing else. When turned up fully there is also some static!
Ive reset my phone so I know its probably not a software issue.
Any ideas please?
1. Try to hold the audio jack to one side (that is, press it either left or right) to make it slant on a side. Check if you get any sound.
2. Try seeing if you hear music by inserting the audio jack at various "depth" into the phone. i.e. don't insert it fully.
Hope it helps

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
tried both..but nothing!
you tried the other solutions from the forum? corrosion problem, etc? That's the best I can help. Otherwise, you might need to change the audio board, it's available on ebay I think for < $10, and apparently not so difficult to replace as well.
Let's check it with a torch. I also had this issue and it was not so easy but I managed to remove a little lint with a needle. After that it worked fine for me.
Hi,
This has now been resolved. It turned out there was another bit of lint I had missed. So using a needle, I took it out and the headphone is now back to its best.
Thank you all for your help!
Glad for you!
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?!
I got my z2 last Tuesday and my headphones (Logitech UE 350) were working perfectly until I tried using them today. For some reason they aren't being recognized anymore and the music just keeps playing through the phones speakers.
I tried plugging them into my old iphone and they work fine. I also tried plugging in another pair (Shure SE215) into both phones and they work fine. Except on the z2 it makes a clicking sound whenever I change songs now.
Does anybody know any way to fix this? Or could it be a faulty headphone jack?
Could be a number of things mate. Firstly, check and see the headphones are not physically damaged and even make sure that the microhpones in the in-ear pieces aren't affected by water exposure. Next check the headphones out by moving the wire around while they're plugged in and see how the sound comes out and if the phone reacts to any movements. When I used my phone in water even after hours of drying the headphone jack still wasn't dry so even the slightest movement switched tracks etc. Alternatively, it could be a headphone jack fault in the sense that it may be shorting? Or the 3.5mm 5pin connector on the headphones itself is damaged. It could also simply be a software glitch. Go into "Sounds" in your settings and change what kind of accessory it detects the headphones as. Try "Other", it may solve your problems. Alternatively take it into a Sony store or a phone shop and see if there's anywhere with a similar headset which you could test out.
