I've tried 3 different headphones and the phone never detects anything being plugged into it. It wasn't exposed to any liquids and I've used compressed air to blow out lint. Speakers and bluetooth audio works just fine. Anyway other way to test if the port is working besides plugging in headphones?
EDIT: Soooo it looks like my headphone port isn't broken... I found some app that allows me to re-route my audio and its working perfectly fine. Seems like a software problem to me, anyway to reflash S8+ stock roms on the SD835?
Hi~ Could you please kindly share the app you used to re-route the audio? I got the same problem here. Thank you very much!

I was hoping someone could clear this up for me.
I'm having trouble using other than stock earphones. Others don't work, or the music player glitches...
I've noticed the HTC ones have 4 sections while others i've checked have 3.
Googled it and found that 4 sections means it's a TRRS connector and 3 means TRS. So does this mean I can't use anything other than TRRS?? Do I need to buy an adapter?
Thanks!
I have some cheap headphones and they work well.
Also, you dont need the TRRS connector.
Look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS_connector
all mine worked
creative, sony, standard line-in cable...
you could try hardresetting it..
otherwise it could be a hardware fault.

Thanks for replys all!
Still i'm confused, as the stock player fasts forward like 3x speed sometimes when I plug them in. Could this be a hardware fault on jack or just a software issue?
just try a different player and you´ll know
If your phone skips/forwards/stops/plays at random when you have your own headphones plugged in, try installing headset blocker from market.
Worked like a charm, now I don't have those problems anymore

Thats exactly what I thought might cause this issue.
Hi all.
I'm running in a strange kind of issue.
My HTC headphone seemed not to work any more. That is, my Sensation (both CM9 and ARHD) recognized it as simple headphone, no microphone.
So I got one extra HTC headphone. No way: they just work as headphones without the microphone.
Then I bought a EUR 10.- "compatible" headphones. They worked fine out of the box under both ARHD and CM9. Those are too crappy and the wire on one of the earpieces just broke.
Now my questions.
1. Do you think I just broke 2 HTC headphones or maybe there's some issue with those custom ROMs?
2. Who can it be that a non-HTC, cheap and crappy headphones can work fine?
3. Any hint?
TIA.

Hi,
My BOSE headphone/microphone works fine on ARHD.
Is there any dust or fluff in the headphone socket.
This will stop the pin going in fully,and not work properly.

I've tried the two headphones on another Sensation and they work.
I've tried to use a vacuum cleaner to pump any fluff out of the socket.
But I still get the same: only headphones, no microphone.
This is happening also with CM9.
What the **** is happening to my phone/headphones?

Have a look at the port for your headphone jack. Does it look like the paint is slightly chipped and you can see the silver underneath? Is so then unfortunately like myself you have the issue of the connection shorting as the jack touches the metal case of the phone. This thread might be of some help.

I fear you can be badly right!
I also get the music player started while listening to the FM Radio.
Yes, it looks like a ghost contact!
I'll try to apply solution no.2 as no.1 is pretty ugly!
Hi, i recently bought a skyrocket, everything work fine, except the audio jack's a little bit touchy. I tested on stock rom from samsung (jelly been) and on avatar rom, so i suppose the problem's hardware.
The problem's when i insert my earplug jack, i can only heard from the left side. I need to maintain and push the jack for earing completly stereo. If i remove the jack a little bit, it work stereo but with fade sound. It do the same thing with a 3.5 stereo and 3.5 stereo+micro version. Is there any fix or something for this device ? Should i try to open it and move the headphone jack ? Do anyone got the same problem too ?
Thx for answering, i could not find anything related to this device. Sorry for my bad english.
Hi,
I have a problem with my Z5. For a while now I've been thinking that there's a hardware issue with my jack socket since there was absolutely no audio coming out of my headphones or speakers via the jack-jack cable. But then I've read about SoundAbout and forced the phone to stream the audio through the cable - it worked like a charm. The only problem is when I disconnect the headphones from my phone, there will be no sound on my speaker and therefore I will have to switch those modes manually every time, which is quite annoying. Besides, it should be done my Smart Connect if I'm correct...
So the question is how on earth can I get Smart Connect back to work? I've tried installing different ROMs, disabling Smart Connect, updating it, clearing data and cache - nothing works :|
Hi Ziemny,
Are you on UB? You may need to flash it back to stock rom to verify your jack functionality.
Currently i also got same issues like yours even using stock one. Found out that i damaged the jack's flex cable as it was always pushed against the headphone connector on my jeans pocket.
Just bought a replacement jack and watertight stickers on Aliexpress and install it. Now everything now works as normal.
I also faced the same problem in mm and now on noughat also so i prety much sure that it's a hardware problem...

Using SoundAbout helped me find out it is not a hardware problem. Everytime I switch media streaming to jack, it works but it has to be forced by the app. I want to automatize the process, as it should work automatically in the first place.
Still found no way of switching sound profiles automatically :/
Hello,
A few days ago my earphones were working fine in my lenovo P2 but then one day it started to produce muffled sound.
I pulled the headphone jack up a little bit and after some twists only the right side was producing normal music. The headphones are working fine in computer and tried some other headphones also but the problem persists. I even tried the headphones that came with the phone but they are also having the same issue. The strange thing is that my other headphone Sennheiser HD 203 (I think it is one ring jack while the other headphones are 4 ringed) is working fine in it. What could be the issue.
Thanks
I also had the muffuling issue.
I had the issue from the stock ROM only, then went to Oreo but it was still their thou my fix was simple.
I flashed the lineage os 7.1.2 provided by @Wonder Wicked Witch and the problem is gone....do try this BTW everything is working on the ROM.
So do try it.I am currently using it.
I suggest a Hardware caused problem.
Check for collections of dust, hair and other debris that got stuck in the headphone jack. Use pliers to get it out.
Because "normal" headphones work fine and ones that go deeper in (with mic or controls ) don't, I really suggest you check that, because all the dust gets stuffed in to the end of the port, so jacks that aren't as long won't have any issue.

Hi. I have a audio problem in my Lenovo p2. The audio is very bad when using a normal earphones, but when I use an Universal earphones like Ubon etc etc., it has the setting in it which makes the audio good. The big problem is that I cannot use any other normal earphones instead I have to use universal earphones like UBON universal earphones. Please help me out with this. I have tried factory reset also many times, the issues is still the same.
