Hi,
the left channel on the headphone jack is not working.
First I thought it's just dust or litter so I cleaned the jack.
Since that didn't help I bought a replacement headphone jack, opened up the phone and changed it.
But the problem is still there.
(Now I'm hearing a very very low signal on the left channel. (It's only noticeable when I take out the right earplug in a silent room.))
Of course I also tried different headphones. Same result.
Audio over USB-C or bluetooth works fine.
What else could be the problem?
I'd say it's damaged board

Hi all, i use my XDA to play MP3's stored on my SD card, but now, with over use the headphone jack does not want to work.
I have tried in many places to get a new headphone jack fitted but in each case nobody is prepared to attempt a replacement of surface mount componant.
I have bought a Sony USB to digital convertor but this does not emit a signal from the connection on the bottom of the unit, and continues to play through the speaker at the top.
Does anyone know how force the output through the connection at the bottom of the unit or any other suggestions on how i may get sound to an amp from the XDA other than using the headphone jack ?
i looked into this sometime back. i wanted to route the audio through the bottom connector so when in the car i could play the mp3s, have tomtom and calls through the car stereo, also wire a mic closer to my driving position. I got all the connectors to do it but everyone at the time said it wasnt possible to get all the audio routed through the bottom even though it does have left right and mic connections. I cant remember which audio couldnt be routed. it was something stupid software wise. rather than a nice simple linking of the connections from the 2.5mm socket on to the bottom conn.
However the guy posting here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=231234 has got it to work. im going to have another play for use on the bike. i have both the mini s and the xda2i
surface mount isnt such a hard thing to deal with if you have a good iron and very find tip. i used to work on surface mount stuff for years.
Ok here's the story.
My Prophet is, well, an elderly.
I think it's like 5 year old.
I already had to replace touchscreen, battery and the rear speaker.
Anyway my problem now is that I don't have any sound.
Only when I recieve a call or text message I get a ringtone or notification.
Windows media player does not give sound, screen taps etc neither.
Only ringtones give sounds, through rear speaker.
Also when I get a call the earphone speakers doesn't work, the microphone does.
My earphone jack works perfectly so it isn't the audio chip that's broke.
So what i was thinking is that my phone thinks it's using an headset and redirects al sounds to my earphone jack. Only using the rear speaker for ringtones. (so maybe someone could confirm that the ringtone still rings when using an headset)
So does anybody know what the problem is or just help me on the way?
Regard, Paul
I doubt it's 5 years old! Maybe 2?...
Anyway, this is a common issue, the headphone jack is not 'releasing' the sound back to the speaker due to short / stuck connector switch. Blow down it or wiggle the plug.

ok, i was right about the headphone jack making the phone think that it was using headphones when it didn't.
I opened my phone and also opened the casing for the jackplug. I saw that a piecie op copper was bent to far and that it was causing to cancel a circuit wich made the phone think it was unsing no headphones.
When you plug in the headphones, the plug pushes away this copper piece and stops sound.
My solution was to bend the piece back so it makes contact again when the headphones are not plugged in.
Thank you for your advice, it's working great again.
I have a 2yr old samsung galaxy s3 workin on stock jb rom and boeffla kernel, recently whenever I plug my headphone the sound is very distorted, cannot hear the vocals and music is kinda flat with weird noises or sometimes very low sound from only one side . Tried different headsets but its the same. Googled n noted similar problems for many and the solution is to replace the headphone jack or motherboard or may be hit the back of phone lol...also tried tightening the screw near the jack but it dint work... I've been playin ppsspp games on it and kinda overclockin it to 1.6ghz. Sometimes during streaming while charging, it shows battery too hot please remove charger. So assumed that due to overheat the headphone jack might have expanded(lol) and the headphone knobs are not making good contact or are damaged.
Based on this hypothesis inserted an aluminium foil folded half way into the jack and then inserted the headphone and now its workin fine . It took many tries to get the aluminium foil in the right place but it did work....posting this in hope that it helps someone.
Hello. My headphone jack suddenly stopped working. When I plug it in I hear the crackle of the connection come over my headphones or car speakers but then when I try to play the sound is output of the phone speaker. I've checked the jack for lint, dust, etc and it's clean. Any thoughts on what the problem may be?
In full disclosure, I was looking to lift the volume cap on my headphones and did open the mixer_paths.xml but could not find the section on where to do that and therefore did not make any changes at all. This problem did seem to pop up before that though.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Try replacing mixer_paths.xml with my modded one.

If you look on your cord, you can sometimes see either 3 or 4 black rings around the jack. Aux cords and such will typically use 3 rings. I have an aux cord with 4 rings around both sides, and the phone won't play through speakers, either.
Thanks for the replies. Ended up re-flashing my entire phone with the stock ROM and still no go. I am sending the phone back as it's defective. Also in my experimentation I've found that if I hit on my leg a few times the sound does feed out of the headphone jack so it's certainly something hardware related.
Thanks to all.
My headphone jack has been janky lately, if I nudge the jack while it's inserted the sound will cut out briefly in one ear, it's mostly fine nearly all the time, but it's getting annoying.
I recently had the phone open to replace the battery, and I tried to fix it myself at the time by raising the height of the gold contacts there so any movement wouldn't disconnect it, but no dice.
Will buying a brand new socket for it and just replacing that fix it?
If so how much should I pay for a replacement one (eBay)?
Thanks,

Is it possible something is stuck inside the headphone jack? It's also possible that there is something wrong with the motherboard.
I assume you don't have another phone to test the headphone jack?
I have the same problem, sometimes it's the cable of the headphones, so check if it's okay.
I have a spare new one. The headphone socket slots in a gap. Have you looked at a, video showing how to replace it? Do that then take yours to bits and put it back .it should be ok. If not let me know. If you are in the UK I can give you a new one, free.
