Is the 2.5mm jack funky for anyone else? When I have headphones or ext. speakers plugged in, slight movements will cause the connection to be lost -- I have to rotate the plug around to restore, and then hold the phone still. (Any fix other than new handset?) Thanks.
You are using the wrong size. 2.5 is too small. You should get a 3.5 and it should fit fine.
Sorry, I must be confused about the size (it's a 3.5mm jack?). I am indeed using the right sized plugs for the jack -- standard headphone/speaker plugs.

Sounds like a bad jack. Loose joints, etc can cause that. Try another headphone or speaker plug. If the same happens, you have a bad jack.

Yes, thanks -- it happens with headphones and speakers that have been fine with other devices (even happens w/the Samsung-provided set of headphones).
Bummer, but I may just have to live with it; I'd hate to trade this phone in for a refurb (for something so relatively minor)...
I had an issue where after about 30 minutes of playing music the phone would randomly think that signals were being send by whatever was plugged into the jack to pause/skip, etc. This would happen whether I was using the stock ear pieces or other headphones or had it plugged into my car's stereo.
I ended up exchanging the device to resolve the problem.
Mine has the same problem, so apparently it's not incredibly uncommon. Luckily I literally never use headphones with my phone, or anything that requires the 3.5 jack honestly so it's a non-issue.

Interesting, that happens on mine as well (I actually thought the random pausing may be a "feature" -- like for when the headphones become accidentally unplugged!).
Make sure your hedphones/speakers plug fits snuggly into the jack. I had an "issue" when I thought I had a bad jack, but I just wasn't plugging the headphones all the way in, looked like a jackass when I claimed a warranty replacement, and took the TMO skin off the phone for the last time before shipping my "defective" phone, just to try it one more time, saw that the plug didn't go all the way in, pushed it a bit harder and it clicked into place LOL

I'll admit to thinking the same lol
Thanks, that is good advice (same thing happened to me once with an ipod nano -- case prevented a plug from going in all the way!) -- but in this instance, my case doesn't cover the top edge of the phone, so the jack is free & clear...
I just opened my new Nexus 7 earlier today, and haven't modified it in any way. For some reason, while I am watching a movie, I try to plug in my headphones, and the audio continues to play through the speakers. Anyone else have this issue or a possible solution?
Noticed that too, in any video player. Really wierd and is a real problem.

My headphone port is defective :-( I have to wiggle the headphone jack to get it to work and if I move it in any way it stops working.
From my long awaited and totally worth it EVO LTE!
Similar issue appeared today when I plugged my headphones into the port. i have to hold the cable a specific way for SOME of the audio to come through the headset. i've tried a few pairs of headphones too.

I used some really old iPhone headphones on my Note 3 the first day I had it, last week. I haven't had an iPhone since 2010, so I am talking super old and beaten to death. They worked fine.
I only mention this because I've read that some older headsets are not compatible with the S4 and Note 3.
Then I paired them with a pair of ARCTIC P253BT Bluetooth Stereo Headphones. The pairing worked, in theory. The phone and headphones seemed to think they were connected.
But all I got for audio was beeps from the headphones when it connected and the phone would play at the normal, holding-to-ear volume -- even when I clicked the button for headphones and jacked up the volume in Bluetooth Settings. This did not shock me because they are cheap headphones.
Later, I tried to use the Aux jack in my car -- no dice. Phone just acted like it didn't have headphones in.
Tried the old iPhone headphones again, phone acted like it did not have headphones in. I figured I at least had those.
Restarted -- same issue.
I realize this is a very low-level question for this forum. I have yet to ROM the phone and will probably wait until TouchWiz finally beats me down.
Part of the problem is that I had been rolling with a Nexus 4 on CM 10.2, I've been running CM for a year over multiple devices and I've never had a Samsung device.
So I just feel like I don't know how to solve anything. I realize asking for TouchWiz advice is like Yankees ownership asking Red Sox fans for advice, but I am taking a shot.
Any thoughts?
Sounds like you have a bad headphone jack or something wrong with the port connector in the motherboard. I would submit a warranty claim and get a new one.
Btw I've used Bluetooth headphones and the aux port in my car it works perfect.

Wow, seriously? I did not expect it to be that extreme. Whatever went wrong happened some time after I initially used the first set of ear buds.
So maybe I did it? I have been treating the thing like gold, though.
You say that it does nothing when you plug in a headphone right? Like there is nothing connected?

I've been having the same issue and it seems to correct itself if power my phone off/on, but I'm not happy about the headphone jack being so unreliable on a brand new phone. I've plugged in headphones and an aux out headphone cord and experienced this problem. When the issue arises, the phone will pause for a second as if it's going to send audio to the headphones or aux out device, the unit states "headphones connected" in the notification tray, and then within a second of doing so the audio continues to come from the Note 3 speakers instead of the headphones or external speakers.

It works for one second then either gets really dim or starts playing at the normal call volume (not speaker volume). I took it to the store today and They had no idea. They thought they were very clever when they first got it and I told them all the setting they were planning to try had already been confirmed. They went through the motions. No dice.
They think it is a hardware issue.
If it is a hardware and that is what it sounds like then, you can submit a manufacturer warranty claim with Verizon Wireless.

My solution to this behavior (YMMV, but I had the exact same behavior)
The issue ended up being the case. It was generating enough of a standoff that the AUX cable wasn't making complete connection. I think the Note is configured to only recognize a headphone output if both channels are making connection (which is slightly atypical behavior).
TL;DR: If you're having a similar problem, try taking off your case.

I'd like to add my voice to the chorus. Almost identical problem. Works perfectly on all other devices but not 2007 Saab aux. Worked with former Note 2. I tried 3 different cables. Plays fine for a little while then audio directed to phone speaker when notification sounds. I have no case. Pretty sure it's not cabling. Heard it was low impedance headphones. My carrier has not heard of this. I belive it's a compatibility issue with the aux port. Trying bluetooth alternative. I dislike the Hassel but at a loss for now. Maybe Kitkat?
I am having the same issue on a phone that is less than a week old. Headphones work, then later they don't. It shows them connected, briefly sends audio to earphone, then to phone speaker. Reboot fixes it.

I don't think this is a hardware issue as the behaviour doesn't really make sense. I suspect it has to do with the service that detects whether headphones are connected or not.
I have this issue from time to time with multiple pairs of headphones.
A restart usually fixes it, but not straight away. I usually have to wait a minute or two after the gui is loaded before the headphones will be detected again.
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.

Mines just started doing this. Is there a fix other than replacing it?
try other headphones?
This sounds like the audio jack problem from the LG G3. Do your headphones have integrated microphones? The LG G3's problem is, that using headphones without microphone produces the same behaviour like mentioned above. The audio stops/starts playing when twisting the headphone plug because it loses connection for a moment and therefore stops the music. Using headphones with integrated microphones solves this issue because of the additional pole for it in the headphone plug.
I have the same when i connect it to my car's amplifier via an aux cable

That could be it, I usually use wireless headphones in the gym but I forgot them when I went to the gym the other day. Also I noticed it when I use my Aux cable in the car.
Yeah i have that too!, it's like you're describing my phone.

Actually it's been said that earphones of same model with microphone have less clarity than without mic of same.

there's a head phone jack ?
I prefer blueteeth.
somehow i missed this thread before. I posted on here about my problem recently. Mine started having a problem back in May or June where it will loose the left audio channel when plugged in to the car stereo after some time playing. reconnecting the cable would help for 5-10 mins before it would do it again. hard to deal with when driving on the highway. Then it got to the point where bumping the connector would cause the google assistant to keep coming on or the popping noise in the speakers or making the songs pause or skip to the next one. I got a replacement and it's fine so far. So worrisome. And this happened on someone elses car as well and with 3 different aux cables. So that rules out a faulty car stereo or cable.

Well i went out of town today and the phone did good until i was a mile from home then the left audio channel started cutting out when playing music on Poweramp. Dammit. i unplugged the aux cable and plugged it in again but less then a minute later it started doing it again. wiggling the connector didn't make a difference. anyone have this issue? I don't know if it's related to the jack issue or a software issue. I just got this replacement phone last Wednesday. I"m an audiophile so it pains me that i can't use a "real" quality audio player on this phone without skipping or the audio channel cutting out like this. I never had so many problems with my other android phones except the motorola Razr HD i used to have.

Headphone jack problem solved
Hi all. I had the same headphone jack problem a while ago as described by the op, and i found this post //imgur. com/ gallery/ 5cou6 (should have https in front + fix the space, as i am a new member and not allowed to post outside link), followed the simple fix, and have never had any issue ever since. Hope it helps
Update: Ups. Just noticed that someone had already posted it haha. Anyway, try that first before you bring it to service center
