Static noise when headphones are plugged-in - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
So I have my Zenfone 2 since some months now and since the start, my phone has a problem:
When I plug earphones or headphones, there's a static noise on the left earphone (or on the left side of the headphone).
I contacted Asus, they told me to update my firmware, which I did (I even updated to MM today), but it didn't fix the issue. So they told me to RMA it.
I'm just posting this to know if someone here got the same problem and if he fixed it. I saw a post on a forum which said to deactivate every single sound (notification, etc) and only activate multimedia sounds. For some reason, it worked, and I didn't ear the static noise again but some days later. I tried to do this operation again but it doesn't seem to work.
Thanks for your help,
Best regards,

Have you tried cleaning your jack input?

I thought of that but I don't really know how to do to be honest, I don't wanna break anything. How should I do it? Should I wet the tip of a cotton swab and "polish" the jack input?
Thanks for your reply!

Usually i dont use liquids on my phone. Get a pin and a light source. First look inside of the jack if there is some dust or cotton thingys take out with pin

Hello!
I tried to see if there was some dust in it but couldn't find anything. I, however, used the pin but the problem still persists
I noticed that when I was plugging in my earphone, if I plug in "at the middle" of the jack, there will be sound on the left earphone but not on the right. If I plug it in completely (when you hear the "click" sound), then there'll be sound on the right but not on the left earphone, like I first said on the first post. Maybe this can help you.. I'd like to not send it but if I really have to, I will ._.
Thanks for your help.

Have you tried another headphones?

Yeah, I've tried 3 different headphones but the problem still persists.

You can clean it with a compressed air can, the kind that is used to clean computers. I have one at home to clean my keyboard from tieme to time and have also used it to clean the headphone jack, since it doesn't use any liquid. You can get one at the local computer store or online from Amazon and similar sites

Hello,
Fortunately, I had a compressed air can at home. I tried to clean it with that but the problem is still here
Thanks for your help though, I really appreciate it.

So I "resolved" my problem.
Since I think my jack is broken, I bought this on Amazon. So I did a little setup so I can properly hear music/sounds:
I have a Logitech G430. When I want to listen to music on my phone, I plug my earphones on the G430 adapter, then I plug the USB cable into the USB-microUSB adapter I just bought, and I plug the microUSB cable to my phone. And it works perfectly!
Some may say It's a pretty rough setup, but for me, as long as it works, that's perfect.
Thanks for your help!

I'm sure a pair of cheap BT headphones is cheaper than that setup. Anyway, if you want to keep using your 3.5mm headphones (I would since mine are very nice and were expensive) you can also try a 3.5 to BT adapter, which is also a cheap and nice option. Music through BT is usually of less quality than through the audio jack, but it¡s better than nothing and you don't need so many cables.
Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UUDZSKE
That one is $19, but you can probably get a cheaper one from a Chinese store such as Dealextreme, GearBest, etc. I have one which I got on eBay years ago and I think it was worth something around €10

[Q] 3.5 Headphone Jack Issues

Hi guys!
I searched around for this problem, but couldn't find a good answer. I am using my Desire HD with the Klipsch Image S4 IEMs (great headphones!) and recently I have this very annoying issue.
Most times when I plug the headphones in they get recognized as a headset (with microphone and buttons) and the slightest movement causes the music player to start playing or change or song, or what's even worse, the phone to redial the last call.
At first I thought the headphone jack had gone busted so I tried with my full sized Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO cans, but I get the same issue. When I use the stock headset that came with the HD however, there's no problem.
I think what's happening is that the 3 part plug (as opposed to the 4 part of the stock headset) doesn't always make good contact, or it touches the connector for the 4th part briefly at insertion, and it creates this problem.
Does anyone else have this issue? Is it possible that the plug on the phone is busted? I don't feel like sending the phone in over such small thing, but it is pretty annoying...
Thanks!
I have the same IEMs as you do, and I have not noticed that problem. I had similar issues with my Xperia, cleaning the 3.5 mm female connector helped for a while, but I eventually had to send my phone back to be repaired.

Seen the same thing when using my external speakers, something goes funny with the resistance or capacitance.
Difficult to test unless you sacrifice the cable
Try cover the 3rd and 4th section with nail polish or some other non-conductive stuff.
Ideas? Maybe lookup the schematics of the jack and confirm contact areas, then fix up as needed.

I can easily get a 3 and 4 section jacks and cables on the cheap for testing purposes. Do you have an idea of how to go about testing it in some systematic fashion? I wouldn't mind cutting the cable of the headphones and soldering my own jack at the end of it if I am sure that it will work reliably.

Try measure the lengths accurately from the headset included with the DHD.
There might just be some overlapping. If that is not the case, it might be a bit problematic.

There's no overlapping, but the tip of the S4s is a tiny bit shorter and a bit thinner at the base of the last, topmost, part. Weirdly enough I just cleaned the tip a bit and that seems to have solved the problem for the time being...
Maybe the dirt was leading to some resistance? Do you know how the buttons work?

Jack problem

On my WFS jack connector jumps out about 1mm... it is big problem because it stop playing music. WHY? Does somebody have same problem?
Sent from my Wildfire S (root, cwm..)
i used to get this ALOT if i just use my standard headphones directly into the socket. even if it doesn't "pop out", the slightest movement of the headphone jack would cause it to "disconnect" and stop playing music.....VERY annoying.
I managed to "fix" it by simply buying, a cheap as chips headset adapter on amazon. I have no idea why this works, as the plug on the end looks identicle to the one on my headphones, but for some reason, if i use my headphones i get disconnects.....if i use the wired headset adapter then plug my headphones into that it works. no more disconnects.
like i said, no idea WHY this is the case, but it worked for me. i juse bought the cheapest one i could find, i think it was around £2 on amazon.

if your using the original headset, i would do as stated above or:
go back to the shop and ask a refund or repair.
if your using your own headphones:
try using your headphones in other devices (pc, mp3 player) and see if it does the same, if not contact the company where you bought your wfs if you still have warrenty, i would not accept this kind of hardware failure.
good luck with your headphones
GLORIS:
Well, i have Razer Electra headphones... it have support for HTC (mic on wire, 4-pin jack)
JACK ON BOTH, ELECTRA AND ORIGINAL HTC EARPHONES ARE SAME SIZE!!!
my theory: magnetic??? your jack from amazon is magnetic, check this now please
VitanyLTD:
phone is ok, original earphones from HTC connect perfect but others not.
YEP! HTC earphone JACK CONNECTOR IS MAGNETIC, SO WE NEED MAGNETIC 4-pin JACK CONNECTORS!!!!
best will be reduction JACK MALE 4pin to JACK FEMALE 4pin
AFTER THIS I HATE HTC FOR HARDWARE SUPPORT!
Looks my orginal htc headset is not orginal or something cus same thing happening to me.
that's a negative on the magnetism front :s
as I sayd... and headset adapter is magnetic?
no, neither the headset nor the headphones are magnetic. I can genuinely see absolutely no difference between the two plugs, but one works, one doesn't :s
then i don't know.
I to have problems with 3.5mm in car its loose any slight movement will turn off music. i will find an adapter to.
I need JACK 3.5mm 4pin reduction for my headphones.. On cable I have mic...
can somebody find it JACK 3.5mm 4pin male to JACK 3.5mm 4pin female? I can't find anything...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110760294384
just ordered this. according to the listing there are 3 in the pack, and that's only around £2.70. So if it works out well, and anyone in the uk wants one I should have 2 spare when they arrive, just let me know if you want one and you can have it. I'll try it out first when they get here though. From the description, it sounds like it takes the 3.5mm 4 pin (with headset) and converts it to 3.5mm 3 pin (normal headphones). So it should be perfect if you don't want use of a mic/headset.
My headset cable adapter works well to be fair, but the extra cable does make thigns a bit unmanageable, so hopefully this adapter will work out a bit better
I had the same problem. After trying different headphones, I decided to take a small slotted screw driver.
Just stick it into the slot and turn it a few times without too heavy pressure and now everything works nice!

LOL, you should be a doctor... a surgeon man ... just stick your knife in a man without too much pressure, and it works out perfectly ... lol ... or maybe a butcher better
Haha...yeah, that's how I deal with my problems xD
No seriously, I was really worried before I did it but it worked out fine!
those plugs for headphones 'felt' cheap the first time i plugged my headphones... they rly have little something that stops you from plugging propperly so you just roll it few times, i did it with my hp-s...just roll and push a bit... and i smiled just how u did it with screwdriver xD
but the main thing is, that it works... you guys decide: screwdriver or headphones jack xD

I personally would go for a screwdriver and a hammer...
EDIT: I had that problem with a pair of Creative EP630 in-ear headphones (cheap eBay copy).
Since I bought my Sony MDREX-50LP (guaranteed original) never had that issue.
The sound with Poweramp is absolutely FANTASTIC.
Was so Angry when I first found this problam, I listen to a lot of music. I twisted the Headphone jack a couple of times and Voila!
Thank you Wfbml + b02!
Now I can enjoy my SteelSeries Siberia V2's as well as my Hi-Fi on my WFS!
Yes, I do have the Beats "Mod" Installed.

Sorry for digging up an old topic but I just had to say thank you so much for the screw driver fix : it worked like a charm and I can finally make use of my music again!

[Q] 3.5 mm broken, any way for audio?

My 3.5 mm input is broken. The plug is broken inside it and I tried everything but I can't get it out. Is there any other way for me to listen to music (without the speaker)? I'm asking what the alternatives are. Can I use bluetooth or will this give me problems since the phone still thinks there is a headphone plugged in it? Can somebody try that out that has a bluetooth headset? I also ordered this thing:
MicroUSB to 3.5mm Adapter from SpecialPhones.nl (I can't post links yet)
Is that possible? Or do I also have the problem that the device still thinks something is still plugged in it?
Thanks!
You can use Bluetooth earphones/headphones..
I have used 5 years old Nokia's Bluetooth headphones with my Nexus, works well!

If you have time, could you check if it is possible to get music out of the bluetooth headphones while a 3.5mm is plugged in it?
This seems like a good option, but I want to be sure it works:
Jabra Clipper Bluetooth Headset
I hope there is an option, commuting without music has been really torture for me
I actually prefer bt to the 3.5 jack, it's all I use. And I don't think the quality suffers at all, I found it to be louder. Although the InChargeAudioBT thing I use in the car may be amplified - I dunno.
I think it chooses jack sound over Bluetooth, haven't tried though (Bluetooth headset is at work).

Hi, can anyone checkn the bluetooth/3.5mm combo? I really need to know this before I going to purchase that Jabra? Thanks!
man, this is the simplest part of the phone you can change.
when you put off the cover housing, (6 screws), at the bottom, you have 1 screw , unscrew it, detach the flex on the left, and put out the jack part (everything is fixed on a plastic attachment)
put the new one, connect the flex again, screw, put cover housing, 6 screws and you are done.
cheap piece more over.. 7 min to do the whole stuff , guaranteed

If you have the 3.5 mm jack plugged in to the Jack hole and you have enabled Bluetooth headphones, you will only hear from BT headphones!
At least it works for me on my modified stock Jelly Bean 4.2.1 with CyanogenMod 9 Music Player!

I'm looking into buy the bluetooth if I get it repaired or not. The phone (not only this phone) keeps raping my earphones plugs (and vice versa the jack now) because it is so big and keeps pushing against my body when I walk or when I am on a bike.

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.

[Q] Fried Headphone Driver?

So I am having a weird issue with my headphone jack. I have replaced it to no avail.
One day it just started getting all static-y and then cut out in a period of 10 seconds or so. If I wiggle the headphone jack it will come back on. However, without even touching the device, it cuts back out sometimes.
I have tried flashing different ROMS so I know its not software related.
I had not played with any audio software that boosts gain that could have damaged it that way.
As I previously stated, I ordered a replacement jack and replaced it, making sure the ZIF connector is snug and making contact.
It does it with anything plugged into my headphone jack, any pair of headphones, any stereo with a 3.5mm to RCA cable, anything.
Has anyone experienced this? I have a feeling whatever circuitry that drives the headphone jack itself is damaged.
Audio is always fine over the speaker or bluetooth.
Thanks in advance.

It's a common issue with these phones. I went through the same thing you did, ended up replacing the jack multiple times to no avail. Eventually just cashed in on my phone insurance and had them send me a new one. As far as I could find, no one was able to resolve the issue once it began happening, but it would gradually get worse.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'd hate for you to chase your tail around as I did. Temporary fix is putting pressure from the front of the phone to the back in a pinch fashion about where the headphone jack is. Goodluck!
Try using a hair dryer on it for a few minutes (medium to no heat with a fast sweeping motion... not concentrating the air on it 100% of the time). There may be some moisture in the connection that might be messing with it (happened a few times with my portable devices and it helped all the time).

I have fixed tons of these on our phones. Common issue. That part is like 5 bucks the you need to replace. Taking the phone apart to do so, its pretty simple. on a scale of 1-10 10 being hardest i give it a 3. I can assure you wont void warranty because there's nothing to void, lol. If you need help advice or want me to do it for ya, send me a message.

What is the part you are referring too? I have already replaced The headphone jack and it did not fix it.
If you replaced the internal jack. Then 1 you ordered a defective one or 2 your main board is fried. If you bought the part from China its probably bad. Edit: did you actually replace the headphones yet?
