Whenever I plugin my headphones, only the right side works. At first, I thought it was a problem with my headphones, but it's all headphones and roms no matter what I do. What should I do?
@aaronfrickinaustin As far as I hear I think that there's something with your headphone port(or how it's called... I forgot it.) where you plug in your headphones. See or there is something inside maybe and or dirt came in if so clean it.

It's called a socket or a jack, FYI. It's possible it's damaged, but I bet there's just some obstruction in the jack or such. Also, make sure the headphones are plugged all the way in!
Nothing's working, if anything, the issue's getting worse

I assume you looked inside to make sure there was no obstruction? If not, I'm guessing your jack is failing. You can look for a bluetooth audio adapter I suppose, as I assume you're device is out of warranty.
Well, it's completely gone, now I can't get audio out of anything :/
I guess I have to replace it now, sucks. :crying:
I have the exact same problem. My headphone doesn't work. Only the right one. First I experienced some crackling and deep sound (distorsioned), then I fixed this issue partialy with the Volume Boost Mod (flashed version) from a XDA user. The right headphone works just fine but the left one doesn't.
There is no information about this problem right now. It begun when I flashed CloudyG3 I think, but also I flashed the baseband for my modelo, I don't know if this has to do whit this
Please anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance.
Does anyone think this would work???

I lost the loudspeaker-sound in my Himalya. It works using headphones. I think it may have to do with another set of headphone I connected to it, which was not original. Perhaps it put the device on permanent headphone mode. But then again it might not have anything to do with that.
Is there a Himalaya expert in Berlin - Germany who might be able to help me with it? I dread having to send it to the official reapir center, as I expect it to cost a neck and a hand.
Happened to me when I received a call whilst listening to music. I pulled the headphones out before answering the call, and then answered it. I could here them but they cvouldn't hear me. If you plug the headphones in again and remove them it solves the problem. Well it did for me anyway
I tried that. I doesn't do it. It doesn't matter what kind of sound, if Media Player file is played of phone ringing, only the headphones work. I think I need a dotor.
I have read a lot about the problem in others threads. It seems the headphone-jack can get stuck, not making a contact, which normally is being made and which turns the XDA back to speaker mode, when the headphone-jack is pulled out. Hereto:
1- What does that mean exactely? Which part is that, in what part in the on-board jack? If it had been bent out of place, is it possible to bend the part pack (at best without having to disassemble)? (I tried the ramming in and out, no go).
2- I looked at the non-original jack I had used and it is about 2 mm longer than the original. Might perhaps that explain it? Is there a part in the back that could have been bent out of place?
3- If indeed this was the problem (if the jack had been bent out of place, one way or another), would the microphone work? I can record using the dictaphone and the micophone also works during a call.
When we had himalaya's it happened to both of our devices (my wife and I had one each).
It appears the spring in the speaker can come loose. I used to bang mine (pardon the pun) on my palm and sometimes it would start to work. Then we broke the speaker protection shield, and this made it easier sometimes and hard to fix in others.
When I sold it, my friend took it apart as it was out of warranty, and as he is electrically minded, he find the dodgy bit, and soldered it to the device, and now works perfectly.
Yes! Thanks Jasjar. It worked after a bit of beating.
I found a detailed instruction of how to fix it permanently in another thread. Sounds complicated and dangerous but eventually I must do it.

Sorry for kicking the topic, but this was the solution for me. I just poked in the headphone-jack with a little stick and tataaaa... my sound is back!
Sound lost problem
Hi all,
same happen to me, the sound stoped working (on my side it had nothing to do with the phone jack).
After the modifaication which is described in this forum i had still the same problem so i solder the loud speaker directly - still same problem...
After some time i flashed the device again, now it works, so on my side it was a software problem...
The device was 3 month out of power, but i think remove the battery and if the sound appears on startup (on first boot) but later not, then flash the os and it will work ...

XDA 2 sound problem...
Hi!
Plese help me!
I have strange problem with my XDA 2.
I bough it 2 days ago. It was in O2 network.
Now when I unlocked it for my network (polish ERA-GSM) I saw that when I'm calling I cant hear anything. Person from the other sight can't hear me too..
XDA have sound becose I used media-player ando other sound stuff, thats why I think that speaker is ok. Microphone is ok too becose I can record animations with sound.
So what should I do now? ;/
Plese help...
Just for reference:
A friend of mine had this 2020, and both Speakerphone and mic were not working.
When somebody called, the ringtone DID sound.
Anyway, bluetooth handsfree worked fine.
All we did was play with the jack, using the stylus! Not even headphones...
And now it works fine!
He says he'll never put phones on it again... lol
cu around!
Looking for more Info
Hi, please help me find which points in the MDAII Motherboard can I solder to disable the headphones and get the audio and mic back to the MDA.
After a while my headphone-jack is broken from the motherboard and now I only have the pin outs in it.
The device is working perfect, and I can use bluetooth headphones. I just don't have audio in the speaker and no mic without bluetooth.
I hope someone can tell me which of the red points en the picture can I solder to disable the headphones.
I just want to do this temporally until I get a replacement spare part for it.
Thanks
EDIT: 12-12-2007
I got it. Just joining 1 and 3 and you will get audio back to the PDA disabling the headphones jack.
Thanks anyways for reading this..
Did you find out what all the mboard pins are for the jack?
I have a dodgy jack and would like to take flying leads of the mboard jack to an external (easily changed) inline jack. Does any know what the 1 to 6 pins correlate to. I would like to still switch the audio via the external jack. Not bothered about the mic.
TIA.
I just bought some M9Ps with a built in mic, and they don't even work with this phone. You have to hold the mic button to get clear sound, and when trying to make a call it automatically ends unless you hold the mic button the whole way. Then the person can't even hear you..
Is there a fix to this? I REALLY don't like the default headphones.
There is no fix. You could have known about this issue if you read the accessoires board, because the problem has been documented there.
I bought the M9P's too by the way. I returned them for the regular M9's.
well so what does that mean?
that it wont work?
well i flashed back to di18 and works perfectly wit no issues mic works n so do the headphones onthe headset
now when im in dk28 headphones work but not the mic :/
something ****ed up in the kernel?
Well look on the bright side. You can speak into the phone's mouthpiece even though your earphone is plugged in. =D
I am having the same problem, when you say flashed back to di18 what do you mean? Is that a certain custom rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
+1 on this, skullcandy holua's does the same thing, works great on my mw600 but not when plugged directly into the phone. What are you flashing back to fix?
daang i have the same problem with my skullcandy buds Is it because I am on cm 6 + 2.2?
Hey guys! Thanks for all the help you (the community & XDA Dev. Team) provide to n00bs like me! I have a weird issue with my brand spanking new Vibrant. Bought it yesterday.
For some reason, when I plug in the headset that came with the phone, I only get a mono sound coming out from the jack, not stereo. I also tried 3 other headsets both with 3 prong (phone-style headset) and 2 prong and messed with plugged (plugging it in slightly then pushing it in and twisting it) but still get a mono sound from it.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Anything in the settings I need to change or maybe a defect of the phone? I am brand new to Android and loving it so far!
Thanks for any help.
Not trying to be demeaning but did you push the connecter all the way in? I messed up the first time I used headphones and didn't push it all the way, resulting in a much lower volume.

I also did this. It clicks in twice onthe vibrant. Easy to miss
Looks like that worked.
Thanks for both of your help. I didn't have a pair of headphones at work with me, so I borrowed someone's here and it worked in stereo. I wonder if the headset that came with it are faulty. Anyone else have an issue with them??
i dont have any problems either...also i agree with the others, the final click is a really hard one, i almost thought i was going to break the phone getting the last click...just make sure you cant see any more of the headphone plug metal, and you know you got it in all the way
Guilty. I'm another one that didn't push the plug in all the way the first time.
You're not crazy. My firs Vibrant had a faulty headphone jack that would short out to Mono if the cable was touched at all. The second one works find, but like others said: you almost feel like you're going to break the headphone jack with the amount of force it requires.
Try exchanging the phone.
lol wow I'm glad I read this thread. I haven't used the headphones much after the first day if not pouting it in all the way. I would get stereo but it would cut out every once in a while
I thought I was crazy....
It's all good. I came home and actually tried the headset that came with the Vibrant and pushed down a little bit harder and it worked. Thanks for the "obvious" suggestions guys. I guess I was a little bit nervous pushing it too hard might break the headset jack. Glad it works just fine!
So, I'm running into an extremely annoying problem with my G2. Just the slightest touch causes my headphone jack to stop sensing properly.
Example: I'll be listening to Google Music and i'll just ever so slightly move my headphone cable near the base of the 3.5mm headphone plug and suddenly the audio will stop as if I have unplugged my headphones. Yet, my headphones are still snapped in and once I press play again, the music continues on as if nothing has happened.
Some times my phone will go from headphones and speaker...headphones and speaker, headphones and speaker. It's as if it doesn't know my headphones are plugged in.
We are talking super light touching here. Any rotation of the plug while connected will cause it to fail. Simply picking up the phone will cause audio to suddenly stop. I'd be willing to bet that by simply blowing on the damn plug would cause it to fail. Hell, even a fart in the plugs direction would probably cause it to fail. That's how light of a touch I'm talking about here. Also, tapping and rotating the headphone plug while it's plugged in would cause Google Voice search to launch. Super weird.
I don't get whats going on. I see know damage in the headphone input...everything looks fine. I've babied this thing since it has arrived. It has been in a case ever since.
My headphones are good because I've tried them on multiple sources. Plugging in different headphones in to my G2 causes the same problems still. I've tried switching ROMs but the same thing still happens.
I'm at a loss here. I need some advice on what to do. Should I just call Verizon and get a replacement phone? Do I need to unroot to do that?
What a pain in the ass.

I think I might be having a similar problem as yours but with a different device (Square card reader). When I plugged it in the first few times there was a good sturdy click and it felt like it was being held in the jack well. But now it pulls out of the jack too easily, and a light touch causes the reader to disconnect. It seems like the contacts for the headphone jack may have been pressed in or something because it only maintains good contact if i hold a little pressure on the reader.
Either way, I don't like my options since I can either go on with a dysfunctional headphone jack, which might be ok since I use bluetooth more often than the jack, or I can try to get a replacement from LG which will likely be a refurb. I'm rooted too and assume I'd have to unroot in that situation. What to do...
Ever figure out your issue, OP? I'm having the same issue right now.

I think I pushed the plug in too hard on mine and caused the jack to loosen. Amazon replaced the phone for me no questions asked. They continue to amaze me.
Moto X Style - XT1572 - India
Since last week whenever I'm plugging in earphones/headphones, the phone starts acting as though the earphones are plugged out - plugged in in a loop, like for one second it acts as though its plugged in and at the other plugged out. I tried cleaning the headphone jack with school level painting brush, tried catching if there's anything inside using toothpick and so. But that didnt solve the issue.
Next, 2 days ago, I plugged in the headphones again to check and the issue was still there. However, when I long pressed the button on the headphone, the headset icon in the status bar changed from headset with mic to headset without mic. I tried using Google Assistant by speaking to the headphone mic and it does work even when the icon is that of headset only. This solves the issue for the time until I remove the headphones again and plug them back in manually. So right now, that's the workaround which has helped me to solve this. But the button on the headphone doesnt work when I try to change tracks using it. Seems like it goes inactive after doing its work.
I'm confused if this is anything related to software or this is a hardware problem with the headphone jack. If I remember, this started happening after I updated to the August security patch. Any help regarding the same would be appreciated.
Representative Image
Edit: The headset icon with mic is now shown even when the headphones are not plugged in. This has happened earlier in mid July for 4-5 days but got solved on its own. The phone pretends as though headphones are been plugged in and thus disables media output via the speakers.
EDIT 1: Visited a service center located at Ghatkopar, Mumbai. They said it will cost minimum 3500Rs; that too without a guarantee of working n if it doesn't, I'll have to change the motherboard which will cost 15000Rs.
Did you try another headset? Sounds like the cable for the headset is shorting out or going open.

Yes I did try multi headsets. Right now the phone feels headset is being plugged in when they are not and carries out all media output accordingly. When I plug headphones with a button/mic+button, immediately, the phone opens the google assistant pop. It feels I long pressed the button on the headphones asking to open google assistant.

Gotcha... So the headphone jack in the phone needs to be replaced. Definitely a job for a service center.

Yes. And service center asked $54 to fix it. They are not sure if that will fix the issue or not.
Fix it yourself, it's not hard to disassemble this device. I replaced my battery without issues. The headphone jack is not soldered to the mainboard. Check eBay for spares.
I started having this issue recently. Looks like Headphone jack inside the phone is not working like it should. Same headset works fine on other phones and laptop, but when plugged into this x, it sounds like it is loosely connected.
anyone in NA experience this issue?

I found out that my problem is (I'm still facing it) related to the IC on motherboard and not related to the headphone jack basically. I will update the main post accordingly.

Turns out this is from lint.
I fixed my issue by cleaning out the lint that got accumulated in the headphone jack. Use the tiniest drill bit and spin it gently in the direction of drill bit curves/groves, might take few tries, but this fixed it perfectly.

I used my phone without headphone jack - physically removed from the phone for a week but still faced the issue.
I changed the jack on my moto x pure. I bought a new jack on ebay and installed it.. I STILL had the very same problem!! Just on loop connecting and disconnecting... Maybe a motherboard failure.. I will check later... but I'm just regreting the 20 bucks spent on the new jack plus shipping :'(
