Guys i need your help with 3.5mm jack. - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had problems with my audio jack, after reading alot and watching alot of youtube videos i ordered new G3 and had put my motherboard inside thinking it would solve the problem ( As i had broken the screen also. ) Everything was new including 3.5mm jack. And the problem still persists. Problem is when i plug my headphones i cant hear anything untill i go to audio settings and turn audio balance to the one side ( i still hear audio in both headphones but poor audio quality). This only solves problem with samsung heaphones with mic and remote. When i use my Beats studios it dosent fix it. After pluging them it starts opening google assistant and starts making wired noises. What could the problem be? I have also tried using viper audio and many custom roms nothing seems to help. Im starting to get desperate as i love this phone i dont want to change it. :crying::crying:

Its been a while but if im not misteaken i read something about the length of the male end of ure 3.5. Someti.es the contacts make contact with the mic contact and others and sometimes i guess diffrent headphones and such have diffrent lengths...
You might try 4 or 5 prongs type jacks

I had tried 4 and 3 prong as well as bunch of 3.5mm cables for my headphones, it all gave me same sound. Is there any hotfix, putting some tape on some part of the jack?

Earphone stereo problem

I have problem using samsung wave's earphones on my hp laptop. The sounds seems crackled and in mono audio types it becomes very faint.. Either i should partially plug earphones or select mono channel in vlc player but this messes up the audio quality. But in my bro's lg optimus earphones everything is fine.
The sound quality on my wave is excellent but on my laptop its bad.. Will I need some other samsung driver or is it a common problem?? My laptop sound driver is up to date...
Thanx in advance....!
This so common
i use my earphone with my laptop and sound is excellent
My brother tried it with his laptop and sound is crap
the solution was to use the earphone half plugged and half unplugged
look for easier understanding put your earphone in your laptop and play music
now sound is just crap
unplug your earphone slowly from your laptop until you find sound is fine
i hope you get what i meant
Best Regards
Yeah even i have that problem and the solution is Given by the Post above my post !! i think its due to the THREE Strips that u can see on the HeadPhone pin on the Wave earphone (All mic included earphones have three strips and ordinary earphones have only two) !!! But better use any other ordinary earphones !!! !! Cheers mate !!!!!!
Thanx for suggestions, but i have been managing from weeks the way u told(found on some hp forum) but problem is it spoils the bass effect and sound becomes irritating rather than pleasent.... so i asked if i could get some driver which could make good use of earphone hardware like the way its played on wave....
Anyways its better i'll get some other earphones..
you dont need drivers for a 3.5 mm audio jack!.....lol
the thing is that the jack is madein such a way!
a normal 3.5 mm jack will have 3 point pin!
1 common
2 left audio
3 right audio
but if you talk about phone they have 4 point pin1
1 common
2 left audio
3 right audio
4 mic
the problem is that each company manufactures
pins with different configuration!..(so that a samsung high end earphone will not play in lg or lower end phones)
and in our headphones second point from the wire end is the mic.....so if the pin is fully plugged in you loose proper sound and when half plugged the common is outside the pin point so you get the mono effect without bass!.....lol

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.

Try to hold jack (heads) right. It work but isn't a solution because is imposible to hold this way more than 1 minute and walk

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?

it could very well be a hardware issue, did you replace the headphone jack/speaker assembly?

Since I got this phone, nothing has been replaced other than the battery.. And besides I don't think its a hardware issue since we have more than 2 to 3 people experiencing the exact same 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.

Music stops playing and google voice kicks in when I touch the headphone cable

I have a Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 and I have had this problem for about a year. When the headphone cable is moved or touched the music stops and google voice starts. I tought it was a problem with my headphones but I've changed like 3-4 pairs of headphones and the problem still occurs. The problem only occurs when the headphones are plugged in. Anyone has a solution for this problem? Thanks in advance!
it looks like the brass inside your audio port is bent.
Reconnect, and test, until it doesn't.
Try cables with 4 pins.

you have to open the phone. u need a (-) screwdriver, but the best way is soldering it. u just need a jack socket ( u can use from any device which have audio jack ) , or u can buy it, its cheap. less than 2 dollar
