I loved the sound quality on the default one, but the wire at the end of the jack got torn off because of the way the wire stands such that if the wire hangs on one side, and I move it to the other side, then the ends of wire near the jack comes off soon.
Im looking for a new and better one. Any help?

Hi,
I just got a TF and my earphone jack seems to have poor solder joint. I tried 3 sets of phones and all give the same result. Sometime I only have sound on the left side, I need to wiggle the connector a bit to get sound for both side. Sometime if I accidentally touches the jack, I am back to 1 single side sound. Doesn't anyone have this issue? I saw someone posting the same feedback from another forum so I just want to confirm that. Also, onto of the ASUS word at the side of the tablet there is a small scratch and many seems to have the same scratch there. I am less concern about this scratch.
Hey all,
I been looking around for a similar thread, but all of them involve this issue. My issue is that my Jack will not play the right side of Stereo.. At all. I've tried my Gaming Headset, and 5 Diff headphones, its clearly the jack. Thing is I've never dropped the phone, and been really careful with it in general. The Port does not feel loose at all and no matter how much i Twist the plug trying to catch a signal it does not pick up anything. I Also tried cleaning the inside with a shaved down Q-Tip, needless to say it didn't do anything.
Any Ideas?
I have no Warranty
The last time I tried cleaning a headphone jack, I accidentally bent one of the contacts inside the barrel back flush with the wall. That meant one of the contact pins wasn't doing its job.
Take the outer housing off and closely inspect the jack. Shine a torch dow it to make sure all your pins are showing. A surgical needle saved me (great addition to the phone repair kit) You can use it to bend the pin back into position.
Good luck!
Sry for Nekro, just wanted to add a Follow up to the problem. My phone had been recently stolen, when I was hanging out with a not so great crowd, But I just got it back yesterday. And to my astonishment, the headphones started to work if I pushed the jack in further. Turns out it was just Pocket lint.... They musta knocked the pocket lint loose enough for me to grab a weak connection. Just rolled up some Tape and stuck it in and got the Lint out, works perfectly now. Hopefully this will help someone else searching this problem.
Now to just figure out why my Pause/Play , Forward /Backward buttons on both my Headphones don't work anymore....
Thanks a lot Zeal514....I had no sound a all and headphone pin was not going all the way in...swirled some rolled tape in and whole lotta lint crap came out and I can hear now...feels great. Thanks for your post saved me call to HTC helpdesk and time to send phone in.
But my mic is not working...i have old apple earbuds aith no buttons, just a mic attached with earbuds.
Thanks for the tip, I used some 3M Scotch compressed air and after blowing the dirt out of the jack plug, all was good again!
Hey guys, I am having an Audio Jack problem. I bought a pair of Image S4's that are awesome, but they don't work in my HTC sensation, unlike every other device I use them for.
When I push left on the end of the jack(rubber part) when in the phone, it loses sound out of the left speaker, and always skips when I move around or pu put the phone in my pocket. I know this is not a backcover issue because when I take the backcover off I get the same issue. It jack is long and skinny not L shaped btw, anyone know how I might solve this? Is it because the sensation's jack is to loose?
Your audio jack is loose of the mainboard. Get your phone to a htc repair service

I like to wear my headset with my Nexus 5X in the pocket and walk around. Unfortunately, the cord got stuck on the kitchen drawer and came out. Now, the headphone only works if I push it and hold it continuously pushed to the left. I tried to put a paper clip in there to straighten things out, but no luck. I've tried other headphones and have the same problem.
Any suggestions? Should I just replace the headphone jack?
Thanks!
sounds like the headphone jack got damaged when the cord got pulled out and possibly made worst when you tried to correct it with the paperclip, I'd suggest reading a guide on ifixit for the repair process.
The headphone jack is pretty easy to replace and can be purchased from ebay. No need to remove the battery, just the back cover, motherboard cover, and motherboard: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nexus+5+Headphone+Jack+Replacement/73195
Working again
Thanks for the tips.
One mistake - I actually have a Nexus 5X phone, but it is very similar.
I used the following guides:
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nexus+5+Headphone+Jack+Replacement/73195
https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+5X+Teardown/51318
The headphone jack port on the Nexus 5X is actually very easy to replace. It is just pressure fit into place.
I forgot how snug the fit of a headphone jack is into the port though! I think it loosens over time.
But the main thing, it's working again!
glad to hear it, and at least you know what to do the next time this happens
Hello,
The headphone jack on my Xperia 5 II allows the wiggle of the jack, I can shake the male jack when inserted and feel the headphone jack move, is this normal?
My older phones if I wiggle the jack I don't feel any movement/motion of the jack itself, but the 5II is my first IP68 phone so don't really know if is normal and is because of the water protection or if my jack is messed up.
Can anyone confirm if this is normal?
Thank you in advance.
If anything it should be firmer if waterproof... which I never count on it being so anyway.
If under warranty get it repaired. If not it may go a long time or never need repaired.
You might want to look at a tear down vid and see how the jack is mounted.
Thank you for your reply.
But did you try to insert a headphone jack and wiggle? Did you felt any movement?

I don't have this phone. Sony tech support may have a demo on the floor. See what they say.
Jacks/jack plugs should mate tight...
It does wiggle 0.5mm the most. There's usually a pair of clamps inside the plug to "grab" the jack, and I guess it's what makes it wiggle.

Same here! It does wiggle a bit (slightly more than my old Xperia X) but if I compare them both I can easily see clamps on Xperia 5 II but on Xperia X those are not easily visible (in top view). This could be due to design change to make 3.5mm jack more flexible or could be because it now supports most of the 3.5mm connects as oppose to supporting certain type on previous Xperias (mono vs stereo or TRS vs TRRS!?).
Thank you very much to both for testing on your Xperia.
I will assume that is normal for our phone.
