Wave 3 headphone jack problem.... - Bada Software and Hacking General

Since there is no general board or help board for Wave phones, im sorry that i have to post this here....
I just got a Wave 3 from this guy, and the phone is in perfect condition and everything....
But, if i connect my Sennheiser EARPHONES, or my Pioneer HEADPHONES, the phone COMPLETELY freezes. Display doesn't work, buttons dont work, i cant turn off the screen. Then everything returns to normal when i unplug them.
I have to plug them in and out 2,3 times sometimes in order for them to finally work.
Stock Samsung earphones dont have this problem, but they are awful and only one earpiece works.
On my previous android phones, i never had this problem.
Please help me, i use my phone primarily for music, and i like the bada music player a lot.
UPDATE:
I just found out that the STOCK earphones have 4 conductors, and my sennheiser earphones have 3 conductors
Could THIS BE the reason?
I added a picture.

try to flash to an other firmware or update via samsung kies.
maybe this is a bug in your rom...

How do i flash a bada rom? Is there a risk of bricking like Android?
I did a fw update via Kies yesterday, that did not fix the problem.

I didn't hear about someone who flashed his WAVE correctly and has problem..

Can you check do you have 4 conductor earphones? If you have 3 conductor earphones and you NEVER had this problem, then something is wrong with the phone.
Please check my picture for comparison

the freezing problem may be from software bugs.
If not, check your headphone jack input and aalso from other devices, check if something is different, also, its 2nd hand if i'm right? if so, it may be damaged, i dont know.

But dude, i tried 2 headphones/3 earphones:
Stock samsung 4-conductor earphones - no problems
Sennheiser 3-conductor earphones - freezing, 2-3 times plug in/out, works
Nokia 4-conductor earphones - no problems
Canyon 3-conductor headphones - freezing, 2-3 times plug in/out, works
Pioneer 3-conductor headphones - freezing, 2-3 times plug in/out, works
Ahh, i must sell them and get earphones with a microphone (4-conduct).....this is so stupid -_-

I don't know what to say... a friend of mine said that her sister had the same problem with her Wave 3.
I bought some 4-conductor earphones today, and they work good.

i have 2 of those 3 conductor (both skullcandy), and they work without freezing problems
ps: i use this kind of set (same model, just other color)
maybe its a problem with wave 3.

In the end, its not really a problem, its just that wave 3 doesnt support 3-conductor very well. All 4-conductor ones work good. :good:

Audio Jack problem on Ace 2

I got a problem in Audio Jack. when i plug in my headphone , i have to hold it by side to get accurate sound.
also the ticking sound of plugging in is also changed. is there any way to fix it without opening it? i don't have a warranty and don't want to waste it's value by opening it

Even I had the same problem! It was a problem with my headphones not the audio jack!
Sometimes it is not phone or headphone problem. did you push jack hard when you want to plug in? I mean are u sure that the jack is fully plugged in?
I too have had this problem. I've tried two different 'audio jack to audio jack' cables (to plug into the car and a stereo) and they both have this problem. I've tried 3 sets of headphones and only one works okay. The ones that work are the Samsung headphones that came with the phone, which is interesting. They all used to work okay, it's just the last few weeks this has happened.
I've tried pushing them all the way in, but the only thing that works is, if you're looking at the screen, pushing the jack slightly to the right. Does anyone know if there's a simple hardware fix, like tightening something? I've googled this (thought it might be a general problem on other devices) but couldn't find anything.
Odp: Audio Jack problem on Ace 2
I have the same problem Samsung headphones works fine, rest breaks. I think about putting my Ace to guarantee.
I've tried 5 sets of headphones and 2 audio-jack-to-audio-jack cables. The only one that works okay is the Samsung headphones that came with the phone. How can this be? Planned obsolescence? Surely not. Just bad build quality maybe?
If anyone's interested, a short-term fix is a triangular piece of paper placed in the hole before you plug the headphones in. I have to push my jack to the right, so I put the paper on the left. Apparently pieces of drinking straws work and last longer.
Same problem.
Only samsung headphones work. My philips headphones that work on pc and another phones fine don't work on Ace2.

Headphone issue

Saw a similar post involving aux cables. However when I plug in headphones I am noticing the headphone notification staying on for three seconds then going off..... And guess what no music only coming out of speakers!!
Anyone else having this issue
I have been having the same issue trying to use a Pressy. The phone recognizes it for a short duration, and then the symbol disappears and it ceases to work. It's almost always in the 3-20 seconds range.
OK update: tried with different headphones and it works... Seems the g3 is fussy about what cables it takes.
Quick update. The headphones i used today worked perfectly with no sound issues at all. Sound quality was good using beats audio installer

Can you get that from the play store? also are you rooted?
I am having issues with my headphones.
When I listen to music and twist my pin in the jack my G3 does all kind of things!
From shutting the music off, skipping tracks to activating some kind of voice control...
I tested the same thing with the headset that comes with the G3 and everythings fine.
In the Aux issue thread no one has problems with their headphones...
My guess is that it is due to the 3.5 pin because the headsets are split in 4 parts and normal headphones only in 3 with these small plastic rings
Does anyone share the same issue?
My apple ear buds work and sound great with g3 ...

Headphone problem
I think it has something to do with the length of the jack. I notice if the jack has a rim at the end it will have random issues. The stock LG jack has no rim?

I had this problem and found the problem is the male earphone pin on most headsets has a shoulder on it the LG female no likie. if you look at original LG male pin you see no shoulder on the shank. Try find one without shoulder and earphone will work all day.

I had the same issue with my new sony earbuds i bought yesterday, it seems until LG fix it, we need to use the stock earbuds (I like them anyway)
Anyone getting a systemUI crash until I remove the headphones. I am rooted and did have Xposed installed along with Viper Audio. I have since removed all mods and am back to stock rooted but with no improvement. The only thing I don't think I've tried is unrooting. Any ideas out there?

Headphone jack not working

Hello, I had my s3 sitting for a while and decide to use it (haven't used it for 7-8 months). So I go on Youtube and watch a video. The speaker works fine but whenever I insert the 3.5 mm jack, I cant hear anything and if I remove it the speaker stop working.
I have tried multiple ROMS (CM13, DU 5.1, Stock 4.4.2) but they all seem to have the same issue. I also tried 3 different headphones.
What could be the issue?

Check if speakerphone works, if it does, then it is likely that the hp jack is jammed and causing the phone to disable the speaker because it thinks headphones are plugged in.

Yes, it sounds like a hardware issue of the headphone jack being jammed or broken. If the issue is exactly the same on all roms, I would definitely replace the headphone jack, they are not that expensive, only $7

Why I don't think this issue might be a hardware issue is that, when ever I plug the phone to a wall socket and connect the headset jack, the sound comes on. But some few minutes after taking it off the wall socket, the sound is gone. And I have to restart the phone to get the sound working again..

if the speaker works but headphone doesn't then it may be that the phone detects some other audio device on usb. Do you hear any sounds at all through the headphones, also do the playback controls on the headphone work? If they do it may be the audio IC
Yeah, the controls on the headphone do work when this occurs.. And I don't hear any other sound..
Mind you, Immediately after inserting the jack, all the sound (speaker and headset) system in the phone is lost. Until I do a restart.

3.5mm headphone jack issues

Hello I have a US TA-1045 version of the Nokia 6.1 that I am returning for a replacement. The reason is that my sound will cut out every single time I am using headphones through the 3.5mm plug. The only thing I can do to remedy the problem is removing the headphones and plugging them back in and resuming playback.
Has anybody had this problem? I am really hoping my replacement does not have this same issue.
I have this same issue with my Nokia 6.1 . Let me know how it goes.
Seems the plug is fussy
Two questions:
1. Have you tried a different pair of headphones?
2. Do you have a case on the phone?
If you are using inexpensive headphones the impedance could be less than expected and might cause a problem.
Some cases may not let the headphone plug seat completely in the jack.
This happens to me with the headphones that came with the phone, my other earbuds, and another aux cable.
Haven't had issues with these in other devices

I havnt used other headphones yet. But I dont have 'any' issues when I use the same headphones on several other devices. I do use a case but its small and I dont think it impedes with plug. I can try with the case off but Im sure it wont help. The way the sound goes out is not like it goes in and out. It just cuts out completely and the music keeps playing. Not through the headphones or the speaker, just nothing.
Anyways my replacement does the exact same thing. Im looking at hopefully getting a different phone.

It's Android not the phone from my experience, get a USB C adapter. Alternatively try turning off automatic USB audio routing in developer settings. (Didn't work for me on Oreo but apparently it used to work great in Nougat)This will probably be a slow bug fix as the 3.5 mm jack is dying out. I borrowed someone's pixel 2 xl adapter and it worked great so I ordered one along those lines in standards with reviews backing it up on Amazon.

I used Pandora (paid version) regularly with my Nokia 6.1 (TA-1068), Oreo 8.1.
I have never had a problem using headphones. YMMV.
Does anyone have a link to the spotify / google play issue?
This issue is super annoying - especially because I usually do a lot of dirty work with my phone in my pocket and when the audio cuts out, my hands are too dirty to touch the phone

Link to what? Who knows if Nokia is even aware of the issue. It also happens with other music players unfortunately. I did see some mention of the problem on Nokia 6.1 official forums, but no mention of solutions. Still waiting to hear if a usb C adapter fixes the problem. But I doubt it as this seems to be a software issue.

Sorry for not getting back to you. I only had it for a day and lost it but I do not recommend the adapter. It would randomly have loud static that I did not have with the pixel 2 xl adapter I borrowed. However I have been using the jack and it seems to cut out less frequently now. I am probably going to just use Bluetooth from now on.

Ok thank you!
Ok I think I accidentally fixed the issue. It's caused by the setting option that allows you to raise your phone to your face and the screen comes on allowing you to see notifications. It's called "Lift to check your phone" option in settings. Turn this feature off. Haven't had the issue since.

Heavy static using aux cable

So I've been using my tablet in the car to watch Netflix and Amazon Prime videos during various appointments for my wife and kids. Has worked great with headphones, but figured it would be even better with my car's audio system. So I ordered a decent quality aux cable off Amazon, a 2-pack actually, but it doesn't work! I get really heavy static with the audio barely audible in the background. It also only plays out of the left channel. Tried the other cable with the same result. Plugged that cable into my Galaxy S9 and it worked perfectly.
I've searched around for the past half hour with no luck. Seems some fixed similar issues with other Samsung devices by turning on the UHQ upscaler, or by holding Vol+ while cycling the power, but neither worked for me.
Any thoughts?

Sounds like a faulty jack have you tried twisting the jack ? As sometimes that clears the static ? if not then you will need to get your Tab S4 replaced via Samsung!
I did rotate the plug, but it didn't resolve the issue. I don't think the jack is faulty, though, since headphones work perfectly. Thank you for your response, though.

interesting have you counted the rings on the headphone and your car aux jack ? Do they line up ??? Just a thought!
I haven't, but I actually have a 3-ring adapter. I'll give that a try, thanks for the idea!
I may be totally off but...
I have been using an MP3 player (Archos Jukebox Recorder) in my car for years. Recently I thought to go modern and downloaded some music on my Samsung A3 (2017) phone. Connected the cable... and all I got was a lot of static noise with hardly audible (and bearable) music.
Of course, the MP3 player using the same cable still plays ok. Anything plugged into the A3 also plays fine.
I haven't yet sorted out what could have been the problem but it sounds awfully like yours.
Sure does!

I have been using an MP3 player (Archos Jukebox Recorder) in my car for years. Recently I thought to go modern and downloaded some music on my Samsung A3 (2017) phone. Connected the cable... and all I got was a lot of static noise with hardly audible (and bearable) music.
Of course, the MP3 player using the same cable still plays ok. Anything plugged into the A3 also plays fine.
I haven't yet sorted out what could have been the problem but it sounds awfully like yours.

I have a Prius that has a built-in system. I connect using a vanilla cable with 3.5mm jack stereo connectors.

Cables make a huge difference getting a cheaper cable often out preforms the pricey one! (That's no joke) Disconnecting the FM/AM radio cable gets rid of the static (Here in the UK that has done trick in the past) Also can you try switching over the plugs on the back of your head unit right into left, and left into right. Vice versa see if that fix it ?

interesting have you counted the rings on the headphone and your car aux jack ? Do they line up ??? Just a thought!

The 3-ring adapter didn't fix it. Bummed... I was hopeful.

Switched the cable and the static seems gone... Strange that the Archos didn't have this problem. But I needed to increase the volume to a surprisingly high level[*] to get a decent sound.
[*] Radio plays on 15-20, CD 30-40, Archos 30-40, A3 way beyond 50.
