Aux cable - T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers

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

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 !

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 Samsung head phones work just push hard and they lock in

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.

Skullcandy 50/50 Mic Problem

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.

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.

What's the issue?

Well I use the headphones that came with my old Sensation with my One S now. So in the past few days they were quite iffy...worked for a few seconds and stopped, control buttons stopped working, etc. And now they just stopped working with my phone completely now. However, other headphones work with my phone, and the headphones work with other devices. My solution was to use small headphone thingy (extender I believe?) and they work fine (besides the control buttons not working). So I need some help with finding the issue here.
EDIT: To clarify the question, I'm asking why the headphones work with everything but my device unless I use the extender thing.

This is the thing I used to get them working again. Still can't figure out what the issue was with.
Sent from my HTC One S using the XDA-Developers app
You're not the only one with wired headphone issues. Seems like the one s has a sensitive jack -maybe the contacts are slightly prone to bending. When you use that extension cable not only should the buttons not work but neither should the mic. Does rotating the headphone plug in the jack help at all? If so, you might have a slight bend in the plug.

how many rings are on your headphone plug? if it's not three, then they won't work. i had an issue like that with an aux cable in my car. but when i got one with a mic and three rings, it worked just fine

i'd say try to find one with two rings, or like my aux cable it has three on one end and two on the other. it's strange but works perfectly
I find headphones with mics or controls die within days. I'm using a cheap pair of monoprice in ear buds now and they've lasted for months.

Ok, that information is either lacking context or completely false. Each ring separates the contact areas for functions. Left speaker, right speaker and Mic/controls. If there is only one ring, the sound will be mono, 2 rings is either stereo or mono with a mic, depending on ring locations. Three is stereo with a Mic or stereo with another type of input. The circuit is designed to ground the other channels when they are not separated. If you plug in a 2 ring jack for stereo headphones, the icon in the status bar will show headphones. A three ring jack for stereo with a Mic will show an icon of headset with a Mic on them (like a pilot's). When a channel is unused it gets grounded by the circuit to the common. The spacing for ring locations is standardized. Make sure the headphones are seated correctly.
You can try to play with them to see if the headphones are following the standards by partially inseting them. When not fully inserted, only one speaker will work. My guess is that the headphones are not seating fully and causing issues. Either they are bottoming out before the contacts make full contact, or they are hitting the phone case preventing them from making good contact.

The headphones are seated correctly. Case isn't interfering with anything. Partially inserting did nothing.

Only left headphone works if headphones have mic - Second MAXX

I sent my first MAXX in for warranty replacement (through Motorola) because the headphones only worked on the left side. The weird part was it was only if the headphones had a built in mic, regular headphones worked fine.
Well, I got my second MAXX and it has the same damned issue. I have tons of headphones and have tried many, its not the headphones.
I have tried disabling all xposed modules and that is not it either.
Has anyone else noticed this issue?
P.S.
I sent my maxx in for replacement with it rooted, they didn't care at all. I did this knowingly to see what would happen.
I have three pairs of headphones with microphone and in-line controls (two different Apple earbud models, and a pair of Bose sports earbuds) and they all work 100% fine.

Are you 1000% sure you pushed it in all the way? I had this issue with another device, and eventually found out those headphones usually take a little extra push to get all the way in.

There is another post about this. I had the same issue. I fixed it by using the other cord that came with my Bose that doesn't have a microphone. Now I come to think of it, this mike cable is designed for the iPhone so I shouldn't have been surprised.

[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.

Headphone Jack

Has anyone had their jack repaired by Verizon? My phone works without any issues and my jack works for the most part but even the slightest tug on the cord and it slides out a bit and I have to reach down and push it back it. More annoying than anything else, but wanted to see if this can be fixed or if they would replace phone as I want to avoid that.

If you haven't already tried, I would poke the inside (not the sides, but the "bottom" (well, I guess it would be the "top" since it's on the bottom of the phone) with a needle and then blow it out with an air compressor or canned air. It could just be as simple as having some lint in it. Other than that, you can always get some bluetooth headphones or a bluetooth aux adapter (preferably with aptx codec) for pretty cheap if you don't want to send your phone in.
Thanks, for some reason hadn't thought of that. I actually have a pair of Bluetooth headphones already, just don't normally walk with them.

Gave this a try but same results. I'll have to pop into a store to see if it's just my phone or if its normal. In my other devices I have to give it a good tug. If anything will wait for the new Sunshine to make sure I am able to unlock again.
