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. ..

Anyone notice that the Headphone input is super awkward? Most of my headphones won't even fit into it properly.

I've noticed mine dont stay in real well.

My headphones don't like to stay in especially with the silicon case on. It drives me nuts when I have my car stereo hooked into jack and it gets bumped a little and all I hear is a pop and loud static. Had a similar problem with my Incredible 1.

Noticed that also. It's a flat jack on a rounded edge... Seems odd to me.

I'm hoping that one of those 3.5mm input extenders might do the trick.

That's a good idea. It didn't seem to be an issue without a case but with its definitely annoying.

I stil have the issue even when taking off the case.
I guess im one of the very few with no issues at all.
I actually bought a set of those "beats by dre" headphone sets and it fits perfectly. Also works just fine with my subwoofer at work

Bought this and it's been working great. http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10218&cs_id=1021802&p_id=5577&seq=1&format=2
Fit's snuggly in the jack, even with my Otterbox case on.
I also have iBeats by Dr Dre and it fits quite well into my DInc 2.
My brother and I have similar problems with the audio jack. My headphones will fit in but if the cable wiggles I loose connection. The audio stops and I have to unplug and replug the them back in. It makes it so I can't have the phone in my pocket when listening to headphones. I have called Verizon and they said they were not aware of any known issues like this. They sent me a new phone to see if that resolved the problem. I am hoping we got some out of a bad batch...
This issue combined with the lack of root makes me want to sell the phone and get a X2.
No issues with mine either, I have been using it in the gym for the past two weeks and plug into the tape deck adapter in the work truck with no problems
So I called Verizon the other day to explain my problem with the headphones disconnecting after the cord wiggles a little. Their answer was to send me a replacement phone. I agreed and the next day the replacement arrived at my doorstep. Tested the headphone jack on the replacement device and got the same results. After calling Verizon back I waited on hold for an hour while they attempted to duplicate the problem on their end. Their solution was to use headphones without a "L" shapped bend in the connector. They offered to buy me a new pair of headphones so I agreed. I placed my order Amazon today and the Verizon tier 2 level tech will be calling me back Monday to take the charge off my bill. Figured this information may be handy to someone. Good luck!
I understand this is not a fix for a design flaw in the phone but its still a free pair of headphones.
I had the same problem with the lead in my car. I realized the jack was longer than the one on my headphones so I filed the tip off of it w/ a metal file. It seems to work better now.

no issues here either. ue10's
I tested with a set of Blackberry "L" shaped headphones+mic and they were fine. I wiggled them and spun them and they never lost connection.

Strange...I used mine on a plane last week with my headphones and had no issue at all. I would be interested to know if this degrades over time somehow because I intend to use the headphones often!
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.

Ok this has been killing me for the past few days. It seems my headphone doesnt fitbquite nice enough and a little wiggle causes it to wake my phone up. Is it possible to disable the phone from waking up when I plug in my headphones???
This is frustrating because im constantly fighting my phone to stay off!

I didn't know this was that big of a problem.
I always thought it was useful so you can efficiently open your music right when you put in your headphones.
Try turning off the Context Buddy in the display settings and see if that does anything.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Context buddy is already off. It's weird, see, the phone never gets interrupted music wise, but for whatever reason the phone detects it being unplugged and plugged back in (without disrupting audio)
I do have headset blocker but that doesn't effect it, so I'm hoping that someone knows any files I can edit to disable this function
Ok so this is cool, after taking a look at my phone, and messing with the headphone jack. My freakin headphone jack is ****ed up. Something is wrong and the pins aren't properly clicking onto the damn jack. What the hell. I never abused the headphone jack and just like that it's broken. This is BS
I guess I thought it was doing this for a while but that's only because I haven't listened to any music for a few days. I just had my headphones on today at work to muffle the factory noise and kept hearing my phone lock and unlock, but now it's for sure.
My phone has a damaged headphone jack! this is messed up. One of the reasons for wanting a samsung in the first place was hoping they had a better headphone jack setup than HTC does/did (which were physically cracking the headphone jack) and now it looks like my phone is messed up too.
This is ridiculous...
I'm going to see if maybe lint or some crud is stuck inside there...here's hoping that's all it is...
nope, it's the headphone jack. This is bs, I'm going to see if sprint will replace it under mechanical failure or something. The phone's only 3 months old and has been in a case its entire life, never dropped/abused or anything.

I've had this phone since the day it came out and never had a problem with the screen turning itself on while my headphones were in, which is saying a lot seeing as I use my headphones every single day on my 1 hour bus ride to work.
And also never had a problem with the headphone jack...
Take the phone to Sprint and tell them the headphone jack is messed up and they will surely give you a new one.
Just you know, be all "frustrated" and what not in the store lol.

Yeah, that's what I'm planning on doing. It's messed up that a 3 month old phone wears out its headphone jack, where my 10 year old cd player still works perfectly fine.
there's no physical damage, it's just that the pins inside have worn out.
Do you think they'll care that my phone is rooted hah. I mean, this is 100% unrelated to being rooted ya know?
I tend to use my headphones 8 hours a day, 6 days a week on my phone. So i guess it was bound to happen. I just hope it never happens again.

If anything before you go just do the "triangle away".
The application can be found in the app store, it resets your counter.
Like I said, I've had my phone about 5 months now and use my headphones every single day and haven't had a problem with them.

If you are worried about them finding root (they will probably look for before giving new device) go into superuser and unroot through there if you want.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Dont need triangle away since my counter never ticked with thebroot method I used. Im not worried though since sprint works on rooted phones as long as root wasnt the cause. In this case the headphone jack wore out from daily use

I have a temporary fix. It seems that the headphone detection pin has worn out severely, so I looked around and found out soundabout (which i was already using to disable the speaker) has an option to force sound to the headphone without using headset detection. Works perfect.
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$

Hi Everyone,
As a hardware engineer I try and make everything run as long as possible. Cars, washers, dryers, dishwasher so when it came to the phone the person at AT&T said it would be $100.00 to change my phone out I said no. I just need the jack replaced. We don’t fix anything we just replace. And that is what is wrong with this world. I use my phone all the time and when I hit a bump while driving it stops the music or audio book and then I have to start it back up again. The phone jack is just worn for overuse I suppose.
There are so excellent Youtube videos on how to change out the jacks and when I found out how cheap it was to replace I could not refuse. When I get the parts I’ll update this thread but if any of you need to replace like mine here is the ebay link.

Here is the toolkit I’ve had for a long time and its excellent. The correct bit for the Samsung note with this kit is JM-JIS00 phillips. Its great for laptops, iPhones, Xbox 360 controllers and sunglasses as of yesterday.

Thanks, Jason
PS. If this helps you hit thanks.
In my experience, most of the time, the easiest way to fix the headphone jack not working is to check the screw's on the back of the phone. Mine started acting a bit weird, and one of the screw's up by it was loose. I tightened it and now have no problems.

I did that and they were firm. This is the next step it might be here Wednesday and it will take 1/2 hour to complete.

So I replaced the headphone jack and its far more stiff than the one I replaced. I took it for a punishment ride mounting biking that before the music would stop when hit a jump or dropped down a set of stairs. I'm glad I did it. Just for extra session I took my dog running and it didn't stop or come disconnected.
I followed this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9ha7cT_bw4 and used credit card to pry the case open.
