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.

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!
My Nexus 4 is stuck in headphones mode for a few months now. Sound on headphones is just fine. I tried cleaning 3.5mm jack, but no difference. I'm using SoundAbout app now to make phone usable, but it's anoying to manualy switch every time I plug in or out my headphones. I ordered new headphones jack from ebay for 8.95 pounds from UK (new user, can't post link)
I replaced it, but N4 is still stuck in headphones mode Before I replaced it I've done factory reset, but not yet after replacing.
Looking at the plug it seems like phone detects when headphones plug shorts two pins in connector that connects to the tip of headphones plug (pins are not shorted if connector isn't plugged in). It doesnt have a "switch" like some other connectors.
Phone was not even near water and I never dropped it on the ground.
What do you think it's wrong? Maybe damaged motherboard?
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.

Thanks for the Info
I was able to isolate the problem a little bit more... more Information and possible updates: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/looking-schematics-audio-circuit-t3717278
Recently I was trying something with 3.5mm cable and that was big mistake :crying:
I plugged 3.5mm cable from my phone to faulty hi-fi system (didnt know). There was probably electro shock and now my 3.5mm jack won't recognize headphones.
Also there is static sound on my left speaker of headphones when I plug my headphones (I tried other headphones).
Replaced 3.5mm jack on my phone but problem still remains.
Music normaly plays through speakers of my phone or bluetooth. Means that audio chip is fine, I think.
Anybody knows what I can do except going to repairman? I dont have warranty & guarantee.
Thanks
I believe I fried my headphone jack independence sensor on my LG V20. I was using my phone in the truck with the phone charger and the headphone jack plugged into the amp. I used a different phone charger than normal and had much worse alternator noise. Not to mention the phone had problems detecting the input.
Now the phone thinks it's constantly plugged into an aux device.
I've replaced the headphone jack because I noticed it had inductors and resistors on it. Perhaps they got fried? No luck though.
Is there a way to manually override the headphone jack? Thanks for reading.
