I read this somewhere and yesterday my audio jack failed for my Z5 premium. Docomo japan was nice enough to offer me a loan device... it takes up to 2 weeks to fix (hopefully faster as I miss my camera and speed.. my old GS4 feels so slow right now)..

Mine has also broken a month ago. But I did not send it to the Sony repair service yet. I don't want they screw up my phone just because of the jack

Did yours connect and disconnect randomly when plugging in your earphones? Mine did the same if so. Docomo repaired free of charge. The hardware has been disappointing sometimes with this phone. Developing a love/hate relationship with it.

I love the camera... as my last phone was lumia 1020 this is a good replacement... the audio jack is not working at all when I plug in the earphone jack the audio is playing from the device speaker... I am missing it as it's Sakura season and my phone is under repair... there was a sheep running around on my screen after Docomo service staff did a factory reset on my device... I also hope the stamina battery app will reinstate as after the MM 6.0 update stamina app just vanished...

Yeah, I like the camera, just wish I could focus on close up images easily without having to use the zoom.
Sounds a little different to the problem I had. But there does seem to be a weakness with the headphone jack.

Yes mine did the same thing, before just stopping completely. Any steps anyone has done to potentially fix it?

I suspect the audio jack is not as secured as it should be... mine was moving... and yes the closeup focus is screwed up... some of my Sakura pic looks great but when zoom in all the center flowers are out of focus... I did not have this issue with my lumia 1020...

Yeah, had to do that in the shop. Wasn't that bad really, all my important stuff was backed up to google. And other stuff was on my sd card. Only really annoying thing was that the f/w was downgraded back to 5.1 when I got it back so had to upgrade it again.
Sent from my SO-03H using Tapatalk
Im still on 5.1 so that is not a point haha
Mine headphone jack stopped working as well & not keen on phone being wiped and have to set everything up from scratch. Helium is a great app to backup your apps & data though as an alternative to Titanium Backup that requires root.
Searching google shows that the headphone jack failing is a common problem with Sony phones. Seem to be a poor connection/soldering as stopped working whilst I was walking and phone was in my pocket.
Not a big deal though as I have bluetooth headphones I can use for now.Will send it off for repair shortly.
It's not a good thing to be happening to your 'Premium' phone brand though. I thought I was getting the best. However....

I broke my headphone jack, now it's moving and it connects and disconnects.
I opened the phone and it moved out from its place despite the plastic piece that holds it.
The flat is now damaged (reconnected, doesn't work) and the jack itself doesn't stay in place, looks like it's locked only by the sticker.
I ordered one new on Ebay, waiting for the repair job.
There is defintly a problem with the headphone jack on this phone, mine like others have reported "moved" slightly... I bought a new jack off eBay and replaced it myself after sony told me that they won't fix an international phone (in Canada).
Mine has failed as well. Sound is intermittent. It's under warranty from the carrier I bought it from so they have it in their repair shop. Very annoying, but at least I was able to get a loaner phone in the meantime.
I put the new jack socket in the phone but it's still moving and disconnecting.
Looks like the spoiled part is in the frame, but swapping the entire phone on a new frame is a nightmare...
I'm very disappointed because I'm a heavy FM radio user and I can't use bluetooth headphones.
I'm thinking about selling it with a discount and buy a new one (I don't like new Xperia XZ and it doesn't have FM radio and microSD slot on Dual version))
Hi,
So it looks like it's possible to repair this ourself either form hardware or software ?
In the meantime, I'm using SoudnAbout to do a manual switch and it's working fine. It's now just not automatic.
Hi,
I have the same problem here. The jack has stopped working for no reason. I think it's a Hardware Problem rather than a Software problem. I performed a Software repair via Pc Companion with no results. The only solution that i found is using SoundAbout application too. I think that the problem is that the phone can't DETECT headphones, earphones, etc. The jack is working, but there is no detection.
I really do not want to send my Z5P to be opened for a jack issue ....

idem but work perfectly with my sony mdr-nc31e helmet
Mine failed as well, but it seems only the detection part of the hardware failed, I installed an app called "Soundabout" from Play store and forced media through the headphone socket and it works fine. This workaround should work for some.

my evo is a lil over a month old and the speaker is blown...the loud speaker in the back of the phone...when i have the volume up it sounds terrible...like a blown house/car speaker...is it hard to change? or should i unroot the phone and take it to sprint?
Yeah that's what I would do. When I had my front earpiece blown I took it to the sprint store and they replaced it while I waited. I would bring a book, because it took over an hour.
so i do have to have it unrooted to get it fixed?

Its not hard to change but the rear speakers seem to be of cheap quality. If you reallly want a good sound output try looking up the x mini 2 portable speaker. As for the rear speaker all you need is a t5 torx driver bit to open the screws on the back.
In my store we don't even look into whether it's rooted or not unless it's a software issue. I wouldn't worry about unrooting it. And as far as repair time, it takes me about 5 minutes to do it...so I don't know why it would take someone an hour. you just unscrew the back housing, pull the old one out, pop the new one in, screw it back together, and you're on your way.
I'd still unroot it just in case they look, couldn't hurt and it would suck if they flagged your account because of it.
Sent from my hand.
Mine is blown as well, it's really annoying with HTC. My hero, about 2-3 months and the speaker blew out.. I used pandora on it over that speaker a lot tho so once I bought my EVO I decided not to play music or anything on the speaker at all... just the ringtones and things like that... and it still effin blew in about 2 months and has been since.
I'm not really wanting to unroot and go through all the hassle but I would really like it fixed =\
**edit** After a quick google search, replacing the speaker looks really easy.. I might just give it a go myself. Where is a good place to get a few tools like the t5 driver? And do you guys know a good place to get a replacement speaker?

You can get the screwdriver at Sears and probably a Lowes/home depot
Sent from my Evo while i should be working
Lowes has a kobalt precison screwdriver set by the screwdrivers on the wall for about $7. Set comes with t4,t5,t6,t7,t8,t9,10 and t15. You can get the speaker off ebay. Same speaker thats in most htc devices. 5 minutes to install very easy if you dont want to unroot and dont have the repair plan.
You can get a replacement speaker form this guy for about $12.00. Or you can order a 5 pack of them for about $50.00 from globaldirect.com.
I'm not calling u a lier but he does have a point... I had a moment b4 and I took it to sprint to get an update and when I got there it took two hrs... and they bricked it on top of that and had to replace it.

PowerAMP has audio controls that could cause clipping of the sound (the distortion you hear). I'd try adjusting the EQ settings.

I haven't used this guy yet, but as my speaker is getting worse by the day I will shortly. I did a bunch of research on the net though, and a quite a few folks have ordered from him with good results. He orders the speakers from global direct (they have a 5 speaker minimum order), then he marks them up a little and resells them one at a time.

I'm having the same problem with both the rear speaker and the main speaker. I called Sprint and told me I would have to take it in. The closest repair facility is about 30 minutes away and with my current work schedule I wouldn't be able to get over there for a while. Called back and got a very knowledgeable tech who is having a replacement unit sent out.
Hope this doesn't happen again. I rarely have my phone at full volume, never play music over the rear speaker.

speaker sound was working fine until i flashed a certain rom.
i got headphone audio, and vibrate, but no external speaker sound.
could it be a coincidence? time to replace the speaker module?
any other options i have? i bought this phone when it was released, i dont have a replacement plan option, nor the money to get it repaired by a tech.
ive got experience with phone repairs and taking apart/putting back together phones so a hardware repair shouldnt be a problem.. but i would like that to be a last resort.
any ideas?
thanks

Hi, suddenly the 3.5mm jack on my vibrant stopped working for 1 side. I know there is a replacable part but, I dont know if its just the jack or the motherboard itself...
Does anyone have repaired his vibrant replacing the jack? the jack and antena flex is not expensive but i want to be sure if that the root of the problem...
If there is problem with motherboard most likely it would be software related as long as there is no water damage.

Just a suggestion, but you could check and see if there is anything stuck to the contacts within the jack on the phone. Something could be keeping it from making contact.

I did, but nope, its clean there and also have a otterbox case which covers the hole when not in use, so It couldn't get dirty like that... Tried cleaning the pins with a qtip and isopropyl alcohol but not a single change... not even a noise when rotating the plug or something that make me think its dirty...
I hope that the flex is the problem and not something on the motherboard
The part that you need is only US $8.58 on eBay Item number: 250896342047
I doubt its tthe motherboard (tho it could be)... good lluck

Kinda hard to rely in Bluetooth audio now... audio quality sucks :/

It does the same It's the ****in' motherboard >_<
Well, it worth the try for 9 dollars, but just feel disappointed it doesn't work

I've had my nexus for about a month now.
The speakers were fine until today, the just started a cracking sound on certain sounds.
It's really annoying and it only happens when the volume is higher then 50%.
With headphones the sound is just normal.
Is there something I can do about it? I'm not really a fan of sending my nexus back to Asus.
I had my left speaker crackling from day one. I opened the back cover and took off the net that covered the speaker. That solved my problem. You may also try that.

Took the backcover of and discovered it was my right speaker, removing the net had no effect.
Are the speakers sold apart? And are they hard to replace?
Go back to stock using Wug's toolkit. My sound was broken and not playing, I thought it was a hardware problem but I flashed back to stock. I did that and It worked. It wouldn't hurt to try it. Make sure you backup your apps using "My Backup" or "Titanium backup (root)"

I had the same problem and researched it. I even unrooted and went back to stock thinking it may have been a software problem. But to no avail. It turns out to have been a blown speaker. I couldn't locate a replacement for it. Luckily I purchased it a Staples and was able to exchange it.

Same here right speaker. I figured out that mine has a tendency to "pop" out or something and if I just push it back in I hear a click and no more crackling.
I finally worked out a solution using tape under the mesh to keep the speaker from popping out like this again and no more crackling so far.

Well if it really is perfect otherwise it might be worth it to just tape something over the broken speaker to muffle it or disconnect that speaker it until someone starts selling the speaker assembly.
Temporarily having mono sound won't be the worst thing in the world. Do you really need stereo audio? Especially when the two speakers are right next to each other on the same side lol?
That's personally what I would do in your shoes. Someone will eventually start selling N7 parts on ebay or wherever. Heh I may have to if my speaker blows out again and I can't just "pop" it back in like last time.

hello guys,
THE PROBLEM I AM FACING IS WHEN I CONNECT MY PHONE THROUGH AUX CABLE IN MY CAR THE SOUND IS VERY POOR (DISTORTED/CRACKING).
THINGS ALREADY TRIED-
1. USED DIFFERENT AUX CABLES.
2. STEREO OF CAR IS TOTALLY FINE AND PLAYING SOUND FROM OTHER FONES FLAWLESSLY.
3. NEVER HAD SUCH PROBLEM WITH HEADPHONES.
4. CLEANED AUDIO JACK SEVERAL TIMES.
INTERESTING THING IS THAT I HAVE A GALAXY S3 ALSO AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS WITH THAT BRAND NEW SET.
I HOPE YOU WILL REVERT BACK WITH THE MOST APPROPRIATE SOLUTION.

Same thing happens to my phone now, only when I plug the earphones in a certain way it works, but the lightest movement screws up everything. It's very annoying.
I've done a bunch of cleaning, even went to a tech guy who finally stated me the obvious: It's broken.
I've been using bluetooth earphones so I forgot about it. I think your best choice is to buy an "earphone plug flex", the one of the GN2 and get it replaced.

Thanx Ronaldx,
ya man i have been also told to get the jack replaced but i am amazed that this problem is from the very first day in the phone but i never bothered coz i use headphones most of the time.
Well right now i think i just have to get it replaced, no other choice. This is really annoying on part of samsung, thinking to change the brand.
I might have a fix! I experienced this crackling noise with the headphone jack too. Then found a thread where people were knocking their phones against their knees - and apparently solving the problem.
For me it was just as good to remove the battery cover and applying a bit of pressure front to back over the headphone connector.
I have to repeat this every couple of months but that is it. You can do it while the unit is on and the music is playing, to hear the effect. Hope this helps you too.
