Hello everybody.
Does somebody have had a problem with the auxiliary plug of their defy+? I use it a lot to listen to podcast, plugging my phone to a headset or to my workshop radio, but i'm very careful to close th little plastic "corck" on it. Nevertheless i'm a carpenter, so it is clear i'm working in a very dusty environment!
Would I dare to "blow" the plug with my air compressor?
Anything else to do?
Thanks in advance,

I advice U to not!
Last time when i blow
small pressure air
over my samsung i900 omnia
i had to replace earpice speaker.
Same with defy when i try to clean
the dust from speaker hole i pierce it.
Even if i use a very soft paint brush.
It's just few experiences that i had
regarding unnecessary cleaning
of phones.
If u have contact problems try
with phone upside down
knock it slowly over a wood table.
Maybe the small wood pieces
come out.
I once had some bedbugs stuck in the jack of a Nokia phone. Phone seemed to be very itchy while making calls. Took quite a while to figure it out. Used a vacuum cleaner to clean it btw.

Hey XDA,
I bought my Desire HD online from the Australian Vodafone store, since doing so I have rooted it (and lost the original image). Recently I have had issues with headphones on the phone, the right channel cuts in and out reguarly and the left channel doesn't get anything through it.
Is my best chance trying to find a stock Desire HD image online somewhere and sending back, or can someone suggest something else?
Also worth noting, I bought a new set of headphones today to test and they had the same issues.
Have tested with cm7 and rchmix
Cheers,
priorax.
I had a similar issue, check the headphone port for pocket fluff, i know it sounds daft but it worked for me. Use an unfolded paperclip to remove any fluff / lint that's in there.
Hope that sorts it out!
If you aren't using stock headphones, try Headset Blocker;

If they're original, maybe an issue with the socket or board = warranty. In this case have a search around for returning phone to stock branded, removing S-off etc. I think you need to dig out the gold card

Haven't used stock headphones at all. Shall try headset blocker.
I saw a minor improvement with headset blocker, however if I so much as touch the male part of the headphone connector, it cuts out one channel.
No one uploads stock images by any chance, do they?
Headset Blocker will not help your issue. It has nothing to do with your problem. Sounds like you have pocket lint in your plug or your plug is coming loose off of the motherboard. Or...... have you tried another set of headphones as yours may have breaks in the wires?

I have tried so far:
Sony (can't remembr model number)
Cheap Phillips ones I bought from the supermarket for testing
Plantronics Gamecom 367
Plantronics Gamecom 377
3 seperate 3.5mm cables going to a headphone amp with the Sony's as output
The Phillips were DOA.
Every other alternative had this issue.
After testing each set on my phone, I tried them on my laptop, and they worked fine (except for the Phillips, this was about 20 minutes after buying, so I'm claiming DOA).
Seems you've tried everything except original HTC, so apart from that,.....
Warranty or repair. Have a search of the forums and google for return to branded stock firmware.

I haven't used any headphones for a couple months, just speakers, but today I went and plugged it headphones and the jack doesn't work at all, I've tried with 5 different pairs, there's not even a headphone symbol that shows up on the status bar. anybody else had this problem? I'm on stock bell Rom by the way.

Sometimes lint from your pocket can get stuck inside the headphone port. Try using a toothpick or small tweezers to pull it out if you can see some in there. It might be preventing the headphones from making a connection.
If that's not it, then I have no idea.

I sorta have that too, just push the headphone in and u should be fine. It may feel loose but if the headphone symbol shows up, you're good.

I've tried pushing it in as far as I can, makes the little click, but still no headphone symbol.. Worked fine before, not sure how it can just stop working.

Today officially sucks
Dropped my phone out of my pocket whilst using it to listen to music and it landed face down onto a rock.
Screen is chipped but I also snapped the phono plug off the headphones
To save me buying a new pair could I just cut the plug off and solder on the plug from my gs2 headphones?
Im guessing they would both be wired the same way. ..
Also on the look out for a replacement screen as well, any pointers there welcomed. ..

I was listening to music, then I was planning to go on my laptop. I unplugged the headphones and the tip broke and it's stuck inside of the phone. I tried using super glue, and doing other stuff, but I couldn't. I was thinking that can I use my speakers if the piece is still in there. Can I disable something to make the phone think that the earphones are not connected?
I had that happen to my iPod! Best thing is i took a tac and kept picking at it till it came out, unless i think you could take your phone apart otherwise I don't know any software fixes for that

Actually, its real easy and cheap 2 change the headphone jack, it comes with the speaker, on ebay the part is around 12-15$

Hello All,
I have been having issues with my headphone jack. It started out with static on the headphone jacks and ended up becoming completely dead in a span of 2 months. Reading through many of the Google search results, I did what everyone suggested. Tightened the screws near the camera and then replaced the headphone jack assembly. I am still not able to make it work. The earpiece is working fine though. Any suggestions?

Have you tried different headphones?
Are they are plugged in all the way?
If you push the headphone plug in a direction perpendicular to the jack (try several directions), does it make it any better/worse?
I had issues with my headphone jack and I just replaced it today and it works perfectly. Are you sure the cable connecting the jack to the motherboard is connected completely? You could also inspect the connector on the motherboard to make sure the connector looks in good shape with nothing bent, etc. If all is well and you are confident the replacement was good, I would say your motherboard could be bad...which is a little strange since your earpiece is working and it uses the same connection.
I give mine a good smack against a hard object. Usually just below the camera lens, and under the headphone jack works the best. I know it sounds like I'm joking, but seriously, give it a shot. I suspect the root cause is probably a loose connector, but I've never cracked mine open.

Try tightening the screws on the back of the phone. I have heard it can fix the loose connection.
Send me a PM if you need a link
