Headphone jack issue - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm experiencing a huge problem with my N5 since yesterday. The speakers aren't working because the phone thinks that the headphones are plugged in. Due to this I can't make calls without headphones. Port itself is working fine. It happens on both 6.0 and Blisspop
Any help would be amazing

Just keep trying plugging and unplugging into it. I had an old phone do this and it eventually cleared

The motherboard is corrupted, changing the whole jack port didn't help

Audio Jack problems.

Has anybody noticed that the audio jack problems?
i have this issues where im talking on the phone and im using the headphones and i have to plug out and plug back in the headphones so that the other person can hear me.
anybody else having this issues?
I have similar issue only it's when I plug in external devices, speaker goes in and out, like you have to plug and unplug to have it work right.

yeah same issue here. have to unplug then plug back in so that the other person can hear me.
I have had this problem too but it was because I didn't get the headset plugged in all the way. It is harder to plug in than other headsets I've had in the past.
Yea I had this problem all the time till one day I pushed it all the way down. Its got a lock pin on it and you gotta push it down all the way till it clicks.

Charger Port Concern

Hi guys, finally received this beast of a phone after a few week's of waiting
Is anyone else having issues inserting the supplied charger into the nexus 5 port? Very afraid of charging this now since it's near impossible to get this in. Can anyone confirm if it's normal that the actual port is quite deep into the phone as is?
The thought of having pushed the port in deeper accidentally already would be a nightmare
Mine seems fine. A photo?

You are not alone, i'm here with you..
Ok now to the point, I have the same problem though its not a problem. What you need to do is carefully insert the cable while slightly pushing it upwards.. Its not misaligned or something.. It's very hard to get it in..

I find that if you angle the micro USB plug upward a bit, it seems to go in better.

Mine is definitely a tight fit but I still use my Samsung charger most of the time which goes in a bit easier

I find other chargers easier to insert.

I see now, slightly upward. Very relieved! My apologies for wrong subsection also
Thanks very much guys.

[Q] Audio problems with the nexus 5

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.

Aux cable

Anyone else have issues with any aux cable outputting a lot of static , my LG v10 did not do this, i have tried many cables this phone is so smooth I wish this didn't happen
Sent from my LG-H830 using XDA-Developers mobile app
same issue. Many people say you have to buy a splitter since it is not a cable problem. It has to do with the headphone jack and the 3rd band of the aux cable. I am hoping for a software fix.
Well my headphones work fine, so if you happen to run across and aux cable that works please post it !
Sent from my LG-H830 using XDA-Developers mobile app
from what I have seen you need a aux cable with volume control for the sound issue to not appear.
Sweet ill give it a try and report back if I can find one at a store near by!

My wife just got the G5 yesterday. Today she told me she tried to plug in her headphones (Samsung Earbuds with mic and Vol Controls) and she said the plug wouldn't fit. She's at work so I couldnt see what she meant. But has anyone had this issue?
Had the same experience, aux cord with volume, old Creative Labs computer speakers, no noise. Regular aux cord I use for everything, horrible interference.
Why is this happening? I'm gonna tweet LG
"It's not ideal, but I just tested it and it works. Basically there's a HiFi audio file that comes with the phone within the music app. All you have to do is play that file, then play whatever music either through Spotify or Pandora and the static should go away. I've only tested those two apps, and I didn't find this temporary fix I just saw it on a random forum. Hope this helps someone!" from reddit /u/Chris1671. It does work for a bit then the static comes back.

My Sennheiser headphones worked fine, just the aux cable was a problem
I haven't had time to pick up a volume control aux cable .. Ill make it a point to get one tomorrow and report back

No issues using Wal-Mart bought cable to my truck aux input.. No issues using Bose QC-3 headphones. Also no issues using flat aux cable to my Logitech THX sub and satellite speaker system .
I'm still having issues with new aux volume control did you change any settings for audio on the phone ?

I had this issue as we'll, but it only seemed to happen on aftermarket stereos, like the JVC deck I have. Two cars I've tried with factory radios don't produce the static. One way to fix it (I haven't tried this way, but others have said it works). is by getting a "ground loop isolator". They're $10 or so from Amazon. My personal fix was by using the alternate 3.5mm jack in the back of my radio instead of the one in the front. I'm not sure why it works, but it does. So if you happen to have that secondary port in the back of your stereo definitely give it a try.
My radio is factory and makes the noise

I'd look into getting this ground loop isolator perhaps. Some folks over at Reddit said it works. I can't vouch for it personally, though. I guess you could aways send it back if it doesn't help the issue.

I'm very curious to hear what they say. This seems like it's a hit or miss issuse that depends on what stereo you're using. I think the people not having this problem just so happened to have a stereo that the G5 is "compatible" with. I tested a buddies G5 in my car (before I started using the rear auxiliary port which fixed my hissing problem) and both of our phones had static. Then we tried both of our phones in his car and no static. Certain radio systems and the G5 just don't mix. More and more folks will complain I'm sure and rightfully so. The next big question is whether it's hardware or software?...
Just bought a cheap aux cable and the sound is horrible. Had one from Walmart, and it worked fine.
