Hi gang,
Plugged my headphones in this morning and only the right ear worked. There was no sound at all coming out of the left side.
I've soft reset the phone.
I've confirmed the headphones work on both sides using my laptop.
I've tried plugging and unplugging.
I've blown into the headphone jack. Hoping it's just a bit of dust.
All to no avail.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?
I guess the headphone jack is busted? Maybe you could try another set of working headphones in the phone just to be sure, or stereo bluetooth headphones if you happen to have some layin around lol. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, good luck.
Ok the problem appears to have gone away. I tested out another set of headphones and they had the same problem.
But when I plugged my normal set back in it worked.
Later that day only the right side worked. So I unplugged and re-plugged the headphone jack and they came back to life... Not sure what the problem is.

Hi everyone...
I just pulled out my headphone plug and now I can't hear any sounds over the Prophet's speakers - No ringtones, no system sounds, nothing. Not even the other person when I call someone...
Still works over headphones though...
So what's wrong? Is my headphone jack screwed?
Thanks in advance...
That is a commun problem with this equipment.
The spring on the plub doesnt work right with the time.
One solution is to to plub and unplug several times and then test it if it the the problem has been solved.
Prepare to buy a new headphones plug.
Thanks for the reply... so you're basically saying, there's a mechanical problem with the headphone jack? That's strange, because when I call the phone from a different one the ringer works fine. But when I call someone else from the Prophet, I can't hear a thing...
I think that the problem lies with a little metal pin/pad inside the jack hole on the prophet.
When you put the jack in, it depresses this little pin, and deactivates the speaker, earspeaker and microphone, and transfers that over to the headset. After a bit of usage, it appears that it can get stuck when you remove the jack, disabling the phone's speakers etc.
I find that shaking it/hitting it/ramming the jack in and out, whilst building up frustration, can remove stress. It also can have some effect on the problem.
I'm just waiting it out until my contract ends, and i get a new phone.
EDIT: Ah, and the prophet naturally rings out loud aswell when you have the headset in, so that's why you can hear it.
I had the exact same problem, I sloved it by rotating a pin inside the headphone jack and it is sloved the speaker worked. I inserted the headphone and it work thus i took it off and prophet worked as normal.
wish good luck 4 u
Hey all,
I have a mini jack in my car that I plug my phone into for audio when i'm driving. Yesterday, when I unplugged my phone the sound didn't kick back over to the phone. I tried unplugging and re plugging over and over but no dice. If i plug my wired headset in, I can hear the sound/talk as expected. But I'm unable to get any sound to come back through the speakers.
Is there an option that I can tweak to disable the mute? or has anyone else had this sort of issue before?
Thanks in advance
OK Looks like there's a small slide catch inside the mini jack port. I took a thin piece of stiff wire and gave it a good jiggle inside the port while i had a song playing so i could hear if it kicked on and sure enough it did. i guess the mini jack plug i have in my car is maybe a little too big, it's one for my old mp4 player that has a/v.
but oh well i know a fix know,
i took the advice from this thread

Hey,
I've got a problem with my headphone jack on the top...
Even though there's nothing in it, it "believes" a cable is plugged in and thus of course outputs all sound to the empty jack and not to the speakers
Is there any way to repair it or disable the jack completely?
Thanks in advance,

I had the same problem. I was already thinking of a hard reset. But after about 1.5 a 2 hours my phone suddenly reconized that the headset was plugged out. (try'd about 100 times in and out) and my phone went beeping the whole time. Now it works fine.
So I was driving to work and plugged my phone into what turned out to be a faulty car charger (the ground was lose and disconnecting). I was wiggling the charger around in the 12v port and got a lot of static and the left side audio went out. I have replaced the headphone jack/earpiece speaker but the problem persists, no audio out of the left side 3.5mm (except a little hiss or static) and audio is fine out of the right side. Anybody have any ideas? Could I have burnt something out in the phone not related to the jack? [I have tested multiple cables/headphones which I tested to be working, I have also checked the accessibility settings and my balance is set in the middle.] Thanks.
I recently bought a used Nexus 6P and I knew that it had problems. I resolved all of them except that the phone thinks that the headphones are plugged in. When I bought it I thought that it was lint or headphone plug tip broke off in the jack. This is not the case, I did the standard factory reset just in case it was something software related, tried different ROM's and tried cleaning the jack with air and qtips etc etc.... The last thing I tried was to disassemble the phone and completely remove the headphone jack, because I have Bluetooth headphones and I also ordered a new headphone jack online, which is on back order. The phone still shows that headphones are plugged in? Does anyone else have any suggestions on anything else I can try? I am thinking that it is a problem with the motherboard or does it need a headphone jack plugged in to operate properly?
Edit: Something else I have noticed, I have an app that toggles headphones on and off and it shows the status of the headphones. When I first boot up in the first 20-30 seconds I can remove the headphones from the jack and it shows unplugged then it will switch back to plugged. I have also attached a logcat I stopped it right after it showed that it was plugged in again. Also is it possible to just deactivate the headphone jack by making edits to the rom or would it be a kernel thing?

It has been awhile so I cannot remember where I read it but i found out in my case it was in the board. If you have swapped out the headphone jack already and it is still giving you problems then it is probably the same problem. I bought another phone with a cracked screen on eBay and swapped the board that the headphone jack plugged into.
