Anyone have their headphone jack acting up? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

As the title states...when I plug in headphones or any auxiliary in my GS3, the right side of the receiving end only omits sound. (Right stereo, Right side of headphones etc.)
Hardware problem?
If so has anyone gone about fixing the issue?
Thanks in advance!

There was a thread about this a while ago. I had the same problem and could not find a fix. The OP did find one though. I had to have my device replaced.

The that worked before i flashed to either Valhalla or Octane was Black Ice Voodoo from Krylon360
here is all i could find
http://androidforums.com/incredible...people-cant-hear-me-without-speakerphone.html
so what this states is that some have success with factory reset, and/or clearing the caches several times. or it could be an app, try simply simple rom.
could be an app, some say problem with head phone jack and suggest to clean "There was an issue with the headphone jack. Take a set of headphones (ear buds) and dip the plug into some alcohol. Slide the plug in and out of the jack several times. Wipe the plug and repeat."
'This happens to me when i unplug the headphones without exiting music player remix first. To fix, I restart the musicplayer, plug them in, exit the program, unplug.
The thread "stuck in headset mode" talks about the other variations of the problem."
or an app, like voice recorder is set on it to automatically turn on speaker phone.
so if still having problems after all this then its a hw problem, so fix go to t-mobile or put speaker phone on all the time by using voice recorder app. you have to look into how to do that. i hope i help some what.

Ok, I don't know if you have a voodoo kernel but I fixed mine by unchecking hi-fi recording in the voodoo control app. I guess it's a bug with voodoo on some kernels.

It should be stated more clearly, its a very dangerous bug.
>be at crowded coffee shop
>plug in my headphones and hit the play button.
>the music then starts playing on full blast from the speaker

>they now know what lame music I listen to
>I yell "Why team acid? Why would you do this to me?"
>More people stare at me
>the spaghetti starts falling out of my pockets
>run home crying
I didn't notice that on CM9, but it certainly doesn't do it on Remics, which has voodoo sound built in, plus installing Awesome Beats, you have a bunch of different sound config options. I love the headphone amp on Voodoo, can crack your headphones where they are actually loud.
Never had this problem occur to me.
Voodoo sound to my knowledge remains broken on ICS ROM's. The analogue volume slider breaks after making or receiving a phone call. Plus the sound quality is not up to par with voodoo working correctly on GB ROM's. This was recently noted and discussed in Raver's ICS Audiophile thread where several logcats where submitted documenting the problem. It's possible that the speaker issue is related. I think you'll find that if you reboot your phone then the speaker will mute when you plug in headphones, until you place or get a call and then it will act up again. If you want to use the hardware EQ's on the Wolfson dac's a la voodoo sound (highest headroom /lowest noise floor by far), over a third party software EQ like....well everything else, you're limited to GB or Froyo ROM's right now

I have no pity on anybody that doesnt test things before leaving the house.
Now if the sound is full volume then that is a different bug.
Currently its jusst loud enought you can hear it but not understand it.

[Q] Mic Volume is Low

i recently bought infuse and i liked the phone very much but when ever i am making a call people o the other end always complaining about my voice its disturbed or sounds like i am talking from long distance , but when i close my hands to the micro phone then people are able to hear ...please help me....it would be great if i found a solution please help me
Pretty strange problem you got right there.
I never had those problems, but I know that iPhone series have that problem sometimes. Especially old ones.
Mine is just working like a charm.
You should try to flash beanstalk.
Then test the mic, if it's not working as it should, that could be hardware defect.

if you want to try a different modem, check out the development thread for modems
if you want to see if its the phone mic, try a voice recording..if the recorded sound is low, it may be the mic port or inside the phone.
open the phone and clean out the ports and connectors
instructions to open is on youtube..look for infuse screen replacement

Had this issue on ics . In the other ROMs i noticed that the volume becomes very less after some time ( not mute though ). Reboot as usual fixes it.
i also have similar issue. sometimes audio doesn't work in music player/games. then i pause the player/game, go to home and increase phone volume using vol. up key. it usually fixes the issue

My guess is you have lint stuck in there. If you keep your phone in your pocket, especially with jeans and similar materials, lint tends to find its way into the jack. I get this all the time, and audio cuts in and out, and you sometimes have to force the plug in hard to get it to work at all. Turn the phone off and pull the battery out (really, do it) then bend a small paper clip so it is strait with just a little hook on the end, and carefully use it to pull the lint out of the jack. A bright light is helpful in the process. If I am right, you will be amazed at how much you can pull out, and if you get it clear it hopefully will work again.
I found out if you have your ringtones to vibrate or mute, the sound will stay working. So in other words, keep your phone on either and you'll be good . It's something to do with JB. I did some searching and came across a thread somewhere on xda saying it's something with custom JB ROMs across all devices, even nexus devices. What happens may vary, but in the end JB has audio issues

Yeah. I had the issue for the LONGEST time, now it is working fine 24/7, like I have all sounds working no problem. If it starts doing it again, I'll post here to let you guys know. If it doesn't **** up again, then all I can say is for anyone who get the issue, just stick to vibrate only for notifications and your other sounds (music, etc) will work fine.
I don't know if it matter's or not, but I am running the PAC-man ROM, the most recent v4 6/12/13. It might even be something with the default notification sounds being used. I am using sounds for my notifications from Zedge.

[Q] N5 + Pandora + Jambox = Sound problem ?

Hi there. Just got my n5 and tried playing Pandora through my Jambox. The sound got pegged at 100% and could not be changed. I could mute it altogether, but could not regulate it with either the phone software, hardware or the jambox volume buttons. Had anyone else tried with the jambox or any other Bluetooth speaker?
Thanks.

Looks like I am not alone. Seems to be a Kitkat Bluetooth issue. Hope for a fix right away. More information:

There is more too, but I don't want to post too much. Just trying to get some attention to this to make sure Google sees this. Perhaps an xda dev can look into this as well.
Thanks and happy thanksgiving for those in US.

I can confirm that the Bluetooth speaker volume problem is fixed in 4.4.1
