Hey! I have an audio problem with my device. When i just play some music with google play using my headphones (that came with galaxy 3 that i have) it sounds like i am hearing in low quality and i can't hear some parts that are playing. For example, sometimes i can't hear the singer singing or the guitar plays. Kinda like my device is playing stereo and my headphones gets only one side.
It's worth mentioning that i tried other headphones, which didn't help much. I have tried other audio apps also and got the same results.
I have searched for an answer to the situation for quite some time now and didn't find any.
Thank you
I
Either there's a problem with the headphones (but you imply it is the same across different ones), or they are not plugging in properly. Is the jack in fully? Is there something lurking in the socket that might stop the jack from connecting?

the problem is that this issue happens with other headphones too.
maybe you should try to loose the headphone jack a little bit, hope this works
Well i tried playing a little with the jack but no luck...
what do you mean by "loose the headphone jack a little bit" ?
I don't want to cause any physical damage ...
Either the jack was incorrectly installed or the jack is defective. I would RMA the unit if I were you.

Today I had an issue where my volume was all the way up and the phone plugged into the receiver wouldn't work. The s3 I have here would play just fine though.

I've searched everywhere for some answers to this and haven't had any luck.
I received my Nexus S 4G on Monday and have generally enjoyed the phone aside from the signal issues that have been addressed at Sprint's forums. I've recently discovered an issue with my headphone jack, though. Sound will only come out of my headphones when I am using the music player or music-related apps (Pandora for streaming). However, when I play videos from YouTube or the recently released Netflix app the sound is routed to my phone's speakers instead of the headphones that are plugged into the phone.
I've tried 2 different headphones and I can confirm both work when connected to my iPod and PC so I know it's not the headphones.
Any possible solutions? Should I get the phone replaced?
I had this problem with a specific pair of headphones. solution: make sure the headphones are in all the way. Seriously for some reason that pair have a second stage of "in" so they were not actually plugged in when i thought they were.

Seriously? I should've known I was doing something wrong. Both sets I tried have that same thing with the second stage of "in" or whatever it is. Anyway, that totally did the trick. Thank you so much!
I feel embarrassed
I just bought the skullcandy 50/50 headphones, the mic doesn't seem to work with the thunderbolt, if I pull it half way out the mic works but no sounds from the headphones, so are the pins in the wrong places? it's odd because I have and old pair of apple headphones for the first iPhone mic works with. Anyone know which headphones work with the thunderbolt with built in mic? Thanks.
I'm not sure if there is a list, but I have a pair of BeatsbyDre Studio's and everything works fine.

I have Skullcandy, FMJ's and they usually work well. From time to time I have your problem. But if I unplug and replug it works again.

I bought the same headphones! Same problem. Did some research but can't figure it out. Sucky part is its just a software problem, but like that will be fixed soon lol

It might be because they are iPod / iPhone only. says so on the packaging. I believe they have a slightly different plug that has an extra piece for transmission of the play/pause/skip buttons.
I don't think they will ever work for a thunderbolt... might want to return them. I have a Bose pair that works flawlessly, also the standard skullcandy headsets will work fine.

Ok thanks guys.
hey guys,
my One S has buzzing noise coming from the headphone jack, and this problem is pretty annoying especially when it's connected to my car stereo. I thought it might be just mine, but it seems like this is a common issue.
i found this video on youtube. I have the exact same buzz from my One S, though perhaps not as accentuated as in this video.
seems like the One X has this problem as well. found this thread at the One X board http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720212
is this a grounding problem in the headphone jack? Beats Audio? what do you guys think?
I've always had this problem with more than one phone. If you charge the phone via USB adapter from the car battery, it gets 10x worse.
This problem only happens when sound is being played back, so when music/video/game sound kick in, it stops. Do you get that noise when sound is being played back?

The buzz is only audible when nothing is playing. Like in that video, when I stop playing music it will be silent for about 2 seconds and then the buzz kicks in again.
I didn't have this issue with other phones
I don't have any buzz, I double checked just to make sure.
Although it might be my headphones, the output is probably not strong enough to play the sound.
It's probably being heard in your car (or in the youtube video) because the output is being amplified.
I'm having the same issue with YouTube and Pandora.

you're right. the issue isn't as noticeable through earbuds. i think that's why many people are saying they don't have this issue. It's still bad though.
I don't know why HTC messed up this part when no other phones seem to have this issue. Makes me sad.
If it's easy to reproduce for you guys, I'd definitely be pushing for warranty replacement.
I do not have this problem at all. On my cheap pair of headphones or on my expensive one. No hum or sound.
the buzz is there, and it also was on my Desire.
Not when playing tho, only when connected and not playing. Not too annoying, always thought it was supposed to be like that.
And no, I have never heard it through ear buds or phones, only when connected to home stereo or car stereo, and if charged through cig-lighter-outlet it amplifies further...

It doesnt effect headphones, only when the sound is amplified. Like when you play music in your car.
Simply because that sound alone is not enough to drive the headphones.

Whether its plugged in to a car or home stereo, its still using the output from the headphone jack. The power output from the jack is the same either way.
I plug mine in to the aux jack of my car stereo daily, and I have no buzz or hum. Do you have your phone plugged in to a power source at the same time? That buzz is usually caused by crosstalk from a poor quality power source.
Or, as I said earlier, it may just be a bad phone.

Well my phone doesnt do it in my headphones. I can't test in car, no aux input.
What I was saying is that, of its buzzing in your car but not on your headphones its because the sound level at which the buzz is at isn't enough to drive your ear buds. But when the car stereo amplifies it its easily driving your car speakers.

So here is the scenario:
The car I drive has an audio cassette and I've had the car for about a year now and I've been using a cassette / headhone jack adapter to listen to music, handle calls, and be told where to go by navigation lady. Been through a touch pro 2, my touch 3g slide, sidekick 4g, and this one.
Music bumps properly with slight variations with the quality, I keep the system volume down to half or less to avoid strain on the speakers. No problems there. Phone calls on the other hand; I always turn down the volume on the stereo unit and knock the in-call phone volume down a couple more notches so the person on the other line doesn't sound like a banshee being smothered with a pillow ripping out my speakers.
All my prior devices had no issue after I found that proper balance of course. Unfortunately this device does not play nice at all with my car audio. Didn't matter if I were on stock or any of the different flavors of ICS posted. Any thoughts?

If I had to guess i'd theorize that either the deck or the adaptor has noise reduction built in magnetically which could be causing a problem with the output of the phone, no idea why it would, through the stereo... or your stereo has recently developed a dirty head or (insert term for spinning thing that turns the cassette wheels that I don't remember here).
Or... the plug on your adaptor is not contacting the jack properly due to its not having a microphone pin as well and THAT is interfering with the sound.

Dirty heads never came to mind, ill see about acquiring a head cleaner. Hopefully that will kill the banshee that lives in my car stereo. Thanks for the help!

Not sure uf I have faulty headphones or a faulty jack, but my headphones do not make a good connection with the input jack. That being said, when I am listening to internet radio, and my headphone plug gets moved or twisted, the Note switches over to the music app automatically and begins to play the preinstalled music file. This is very annoying.
Questions -
1. What if I do gave a faulty jack? Will I have to send my note for repairs?
2. What if a new pair of headphones do not lose connection as easy? Is there a way to make the Note not activate the music app when it detects headphones?
3. Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks

Have you tried another pair of headphones?
On my Desire HD I have a pair of JVC's that are slightly bent and when they're twisted it does some funky stuff. Could be a similar problem?
