So I've dropped my tablet a few times, and it frequently caught on the audio cord. So now the audio port doesnt work...
considering the teardown http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109928 do you think it would be reasonable to resolder this? I can't make much out in the pictures, but it looked like there could be several connections between a chip with the 3.5mm jack on it and the motherboard or something.

Is it who had a problem with the audio jack. I bought the phone a week ago and now has begun to come to the association problems?

These new threads are making my head hurt. Do anyone proof read anymore?

If you are using the ear phones that came with the phone, thats the problem. They are absolutely terrible. Try another pair and see if it works any better

I've tried different headphones and the problem will not disappear if even the slightest move the headphone jack side the phone starts to use the loudspeaker or the music stops. Apparently, the connector is broken

Are you sure the connector was inserted all the way? Try pushing it in harder.

Same exact problem here, headphone jack is problematic, have to wiggle my headphone while inserting to hear audio (takes me several tries until i finally can hear audio), and microphone completely does NOT work
Have tried stock headphones and iPhone headset, same problem, i have to wiggle until i hear audio, mic completely doesn't work.
I am convinced it is indeed the Audio jack, because both of my headsets work perfectly in other phones and gadgets, both audio and mic.
My phone stock kernel and have never update it (refuse to update without change-log) doubt update will fix anything, i believe it's a hardware problem.
For now Bluetooth is my alternative for headset.
If anyone knows where they sell replacement audio jack, plz post a link.
Could well be a dry joint on the socket to PCB. Take in for a repair better still a replacement hand set..
My problem is that when i try to connect my phone to my stereo the screen starts messing up. Everything looks fine but the screen doesnt register any of my finger strokes. Ive tried two different rca to headphone jack cables could it be my phone or my stereo perhaps. I just got my phone everything is stock.

1.- Test if a headphone produce same problem
2.- Test same cable with other stereo
Sounds like its shorting. Be careful ya could fry your phone.

Everything is good with the headphones that it came with. Im going to try other headphones and stereos yea i think it is shortening how sad ok thank you guys.

Alright I know this sounds weird and you probably think I'm crazy but here we go. My wall adapter for my charger makes squeaking noises. Imagine a cricket got trapped inside it somehow. That's what it sounds like. Its kind of quiet but definitely noticeable. If I unplug my phone from the adapter or unplug the adapter from the wall, it instantly stops. I'm using the stock Motorola charger and micro USB cable. Should I be worried?

It's going bad.
Seriously... I've had laptop adapters do the same thing.
It's the sound of a resistor dying.

It's crying for a replacement ......

Thanks for the replies. Pretty weird that it needs replaced after only about 5 months.

If it is just a high pitched whine, its probably ok. But if it is sporatic chirping there may be as short in the transformer and that is not safe.

It might be that one of the bearings on the hampster's wheel is going bad. I'd let it go for now. The only risk is that the hampsters get massive quads from the extra force needed to turn it.
If your into fixing those kinds of things yourself, like I am, and don't mind cracking it open, check the capacitors inside your charger. Electrolytic capacitors are prone to failure. My power adapter for my XM Radio did the same thing, when I opened it up the capacitors had burst and were leaking. It's a cheap fix.
Or you could just buy a new charger, lol.
Voidwarranty is definetly correct my knowledge of pcs says thats a capacitor you would have to be willing to solder but it would be easy its a common problem with cheap graphics cards or motherboards

Is it just me or is there an issue with many headphones not fitting the nexus 4?
Can't get my sound magics to fit or an audio out cable to link but to my Bose airplay.
They don't seem to be able to push right in and these are just standard 3.5 plugs
Anyone else had this ?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I had to send my first n4 back because it wouldn't hold a 3.5mm audio jack. The plug would just pop out. Ended up waiting a month to get my new n4.

I believe you can thru Bluetooth or an aux jack.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Not unless the car stereo supports MTP. Most only support USB mass storage which is deprecated on many Android devices now.
A2DP or headphone jack work fine.

So there is no setting inside the andriod to make it compactable with the USB cable? Or is there a work around to make it possible without a aux or Bluetooth ?
Not possible at all. I work at a car stereo shop and not a single one I have tried works. Only solution is auxilary or Bluetooth if you want to spend the extra money... Definitely worth it if you ask me though

Ok thanks for that insight. Just want to clear one more thing on it. Is there any tweaks out there for rooted devices that would make this possible?

Does the aux deliver a better sound experience compared to Bluetooth?

As far as i know there is not... USB is a pain in the ass with android and car stereos anyways. It reads the entire SD card directory and makes it a pain in the ass to navigate through your music. Go for Bluetooth man

Bluetooth quality is purer because straight data.

This actually really dissapointed me, as it was one of my favourite use-cases for my phone, not having to maintain two (or more) seperate music collections - prevents the phenomenon of heading off on a planned highly enjoyable car trip with my current favourite music, only to find that I didn't move it onto the appropriate USB device.
My last phone was an HTC Sensation running a 4.1 JB ROM, I forget which exactly, it got changed a lot . Something minimal. Anyway...
I tried using the headphone jack out, into my car stereo aux in, and even when I upped the input source level in the stereo hardware, and cranked up the volume on the Nex4, it only got to about 60% of the volume I wanted. Bah. The Bluetooth adapter for the stereo is like $200 if it's even available anymore. Very lame.
I could get a headphone amp. Actually, that's probably the easiest thing to do for me. Off I go to the web store.
Ramble over. Oh, first post here. Hi y'all. (software dev)
Thanks for the much needed insight into this issue now. Right now I have to look for Bluetooth adapter. And I hope Google will fill this gap of charging and using the music player with the same single USB cable it would be a good thing to have too.
Hi all hope you all having a fantastic day with nexus 4

Bluetooth is convenient as there is no wire, but folks claiming Bluetooth has better audio quality than line out are incorrect (sorry). You will have much better audio quality with the line out, assuming your head unit's aux input has enough gain to get to levels you normally listen to.

Yea I was wondering about that for a while. Plus Bluetooth kills the battery faster.

My Sony WX-GT80UI says that it accepts MTP.. But when my Nexus 4 is connected, it says device not compatible. How is this? Do I need to have music files on root of card or what else could make a difference?
