Headphone socket issue - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Couple of issue. Tried couple of pairs of headphones :
1) when I plug the headphones in I get a Hissing sound although it disappears when I turn the screen off
2) The volume is sometimes low or low in one ear. I have to twist the headphones round in the headphone jack until I find a spot where I get full volume
Is this likely a hardware problem with my phone or does it sound like the headphone jack needs cleaning? The phone is refurbished grade a, and I've only had it couple of months (the case also has a headphone socket protector).
Any ideas?

3.5MM plugin damaged?

Hello,
When I plugin my earphones in the 3.5MM jack of my DHD it makes a weird noise, I think that's normal it because it means that it is connecten I think. It's like the oldschool televisions when you have no reception it makes a weird sound 'BGGGG' like but this doesn't even last a half second. BUT if I play a little bit//when I my jack is in, and I spin it a little bit, you hear it sometimes again.
I was wondering, is it broken or a defect or is it normal that if you spin with the plugout of your headphones that it sometimes makes a weird sound? It doesn't really bother me or sometimes when I am listing to music but I am a little bit scared that it is defect
Thank you!
When you plug it in the noise your describing is normal but only then should that noise be heard for a split second.
Maybe it's you headphone 3.5mm jack end that is the problem or wires. Try with different headphones and see if they make the same sound.
I just tried this now and I get no extra weird noise when I rotate the plug.

Volume/Separate Control Switching?

Long long.. long ago. I got turtle beach headphones I highly regret getting. The issue is after the speakers caved in I was left with two wires, one that is used to hear in the head phones. Comes with a standard av set attached headphone jack for these turtle beaches and other headphones. Another cord was for the mic.
Now for some time I've been using the av headphone jack cord for surround sound on my ps3 "after hooking it up" then left with a cordless jack. I can attach any headphone inside and I'll get sound. My issue is however I cannot control the volume, it stays on a mid range volume that isn't high or low.
So I was wondering is there an app that can do this by using a duo headset jack plugged into my phone and connecting the jacks? It seems a lot harder than its made to be but it is worth it, if your wondering why I just don't use my headset in the surround sound its because my headphones aren't long enough and the ****ty phones jack plug in I bought is loose on 3.5m headphones.
Is there anything or am I doomed for now?

Headphone issues

Hi,
I have been trying to troubleshoot my issues and have had no luck.
one day my headphones stopped playing in my right ear so I figured it was a bad headphone jack. I bought a new one and replaced it. Now it only plays when button control headphones are plugged in (the plugs with the 3 black stripes not the 2 like standard earbuds). It does play but if I turn the headphone plug it stops playing at certain points while turning. the rear speaker works fine.
I tried having the jack plugged in with the metal outer case off and I have the same issue (again, I don't think a short is an issue).
I checked everything and the headphone jack appears to be fine, doesn't appear to be a short anywhere. I am at a loss on what my next step would be.
Thank you.
There are lots of possible solutions, that you can try.
Sounds like you might just need to replace the audio receiver.

Sound coming from headphone jack

Lately it is very hard to hear anyone during a phone call through the receiver. Oddly, the sound seems to be coming out of the headphone jack (with nothing plugged into it). I'm trying to figure out if the internal speaker got bent somehow or did the receiver grill suddenly clog? It perhaps dine other options. Any advice?

Wired headphones makes volume vary wildly. Also asks to enable Google Assistant

When I plug my Sol Republic headphones in, the volume varies like crazy. From zero to max and back again. I'm also prompted to unable Google Assistant.
I thought that because my headphones have a mic (with a 4 pole jack) that this was the issue. So I bought a 4 pole to 3 pole jack adapter. It sorted out the volume variation, but the audio quality was completely messed up.
Is anyone else having issues with headphone with mics?
