Hi, recently my Nexus refused to charge. I mean it was said it's charging, but percent was always the same (even when turned off). It turned out that it was an issue with usb charging port. So I've bought a new charging port, which is also merged with headphone jack port. Anyway after replacing old charging port nexus charges fine. However later I've been watching youtube video on it with sound on speaker. Every small move disables sound. It looks like it's getting "inserted headphones" event all the time. How can I fix this except buying next charging port? I've found two apps which can toggle between speaker and headphones, but problem is it's changing all the time so I probably need something with endlessly forces my nexus to stay on speaker. I don't use headphones anyway. And my device is rooted which may somehow help.
Regards
Anyone help?
I'm not sure, but maybe it's a issue with flat cable. Some time ago, I didn't put the flat cable well in my board and in headphone I hear only the left speaker

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,
Xenon O
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.
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?

Similar issue solved after powering phone off/on

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.

I did that and got a new one. Same issue. Insane. Must be something in my settings.

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.

Had the same issue im sure this was tried but make sure your headphones or anything else is plugged in all the way the connection on these things is shotty at best anything you use must be all the way in or it wont work

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.
Hey all. This is my first post on this forum, so forgive me if I break any rules.
So heres a breakdown of my issue. I have a samsung galaxy note 3 that I got here in korea. Im on Olleh service telecom, I believe its called. My phone model is a SM900 NK, I managed to root it with towel root, so im currently running kitkat rooted.
Though before I rooted it, I was playing music through the headphone jack to speakers via auxillary. I went to pick up my phone and as soon as I did, I heard a loud cracking noise. Now at low volumes anything through the headphone jack is outputted with an extremely static noise. To me it sounds like a resistor somewhere was blown, especially because when I turn the volume to max, the static noise is less intense. But definitely still very unlistenable
But the weirdest thing is, when I plug in the USB cable to charge it and connect the USB tether for internet on my desktop, the static noise will only play slightly when there is no audio being played (music, etc). I can even unplug the USB cable and play music normally just fine through headphones, but the issue with this is the phone will get extremely hot and begin draining the battery like crazy. Once I stop the music again itll cool off. Restarting the phone will cause the static noise to play intensly at all times again. Plugging in the USB tether again will fix this issue again, but still cause it to overheat/drain the battery. All of this is just an issue with the headphone aux jack. I can always play music through the phones speaker normally.
Last night my phone got so hot it said that the battery charging was paused because the battery was too hot
If someone knows anything about this issue that would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe you have a short in the phone:fingers-crossed: ..
anyways i wanted to ask did you try using another aux cable to your speaker?? Could be the cable itself is short.

I really hope its not a short.. id have to replace the motherboard if it is right?
And yes I have tried different headphones, cables, and speakers. It seems to be the headphone jack

Hope its not a short.. it could be the connector itself has gone bad. No way that i can think of to accurately check that without opening the phone..
You will have to give it to service to sort this thing i am thinking. Should be free if you are in warranty
If that's hardware issue, you may need the failed part replaced but you should check if that is software issue first, when its hot try use some process monitoring apps to see which process is causing the problem and try reset your phone to isolate any software issue.

My S4 is randomly detecting a headphone (even though it's not there), the notification comes and goes. The port still works with no problems whatsoever but as the device's screen turns on every time a headphone is detected it's eating a lot of battery. Can the issue be singled out to be only the jack?
While the phone may have been exposed to rain (accidentally, as it never left my pocket), I've read that if it was water damage it would just show to be connected all the time, is that right? I tried to fix it with q-tips, plugging/unplugging the headphone with no sucess. I've noticed that plugging it in the charger makes the notification appear/reappear.
I'd say it's the headphone jack.
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.
