Hi guys!
I searched around for this problem, but couldn't find a good answer. I am using my Desire HD with the Klipsch Image S4 IEMs (great headphones!) and recently I have this very annoying issue.
Most times when I plug the headphones in they get recognized as a headset (with microphone and buttons) and the slightest movement causes the music player to start playing or change or song, or what's even worse, the phone to redial the last call.
At first I thought the headphone jack had gone busted so I tried with my full sized Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO cans, but I get the same issue. When I use the stock headset that came with the HD however, there's no problem.
I think what's happening is that the 3 part plug (as opposed to the 4 part of the stock headset) doesn't always make good contact, or it touches the connector for the 4th part briefly at insertion, and it creates this problem.
Does anyone else have this issue? Is it possible that the plug on the phone is busted? I don't feel like sending the phone in over such small thing, but it is pretty annoying...
Thanks!
I have the same IEMs as you do, and I have not noticed that problem. I had similar issues with my Xperia, cleaning the 3.5 mm female connector helped for a while, but I eventually had to send my phone back to be repaired.

Seen the same thing when using my external speakers, something goes funny with the resistance or capacitance.
Difficult to test unless you sacrifice the cable
Try cover the 3rd and 4th section with nail polish or some other non-conductive stuff.
Ideas? Maybe lookup the schematics of the jack and confirm contact areas, then fix up as needed.

I can easily get a 3 and 4 section jacks and cables on the cheap for testing purposes. Do you have an idea of how to go about testing it in some systematic fashion? I wouldn't mind cutting the cable of the headphones and soldering my own jack at the end of it if I am sure that it will work reliably.

Try measure the lengths accurately from the headset included with the DHD.
There might just be some overlapping. If that is not the case, it might be a bit problematic.

There's no overlapping, but the tip of the S4s is a tiny bit shorter and a bit thinner at the base of the last, topmost, part. Weirdly enough I just cleaned the tip a bit and that seems to have solved the problem for the time being...
Maybe the dirt was leading to some resistance? Do you know how the buttons work?
I had a blue GS3 before and the headphones fit snug and now I have a new white one and if I turn the headphone jack slightly it cuts out completely on one ear and is very loose crackly also.....should I take it in the store for a replacement or what?
I'm having the same problem. Pissing me off. I'm noticing that it's with mostly with aux cables with 2 levels instead of 3 (don't notice with the OEM Samsung cables)
*although I have the white one*
tried different roms too, same problem.. didn't have this issue with me gs2
Im gonna take mine to the tmobile store and see what they say. Ill respawn later

had that problem with a 3.5mm audio jack that was attached to the car. keep the audio jack plugged into your phone, reboot with it still plugged in, and it should start to work. that is, unless the wire is bad, or the base is too big- causing it to not go in fully.
is your headphone jack a right angle? i had the same issue with my one x that i returned but getting a headphone jack to jack adapter so instead of having a right angle and going to a straight one fixed it. waiting on a new adapter so i can try the same fix on my s3 that has the same issue with my right angle headphone jack...
having the same issue with multiple aux cables. rebooting while plugged didn't help

Solution
Yep, That's the same here. Turns out that the jack is 'kinda cheapo' plastic that is, and if like me you use larger headphones (non-earbuds) that the side to side pull of the larger plug will eventually force a contact pin to no longer make that contact. You can pull and twist the cord and sound comes in and out on one side. in my case the right side.
Solution: I bought a replacement Speaker/Headphone assembly. Took me less then 5 minutes to disassemble the device and pop in the new OEM part. Problem solved. I got the part here ---> http://www.2buya.com/spare-parts/components/genuine-samsung-galaxy-s3-i9300-speaker-intenna-ear-jack-gh59-12159a.html
I chose this rather then wait for Mobilicity to take weeks to get it fixed for me.
Note: Ignore the i9300 part label. The stock part I removed from my t-999v also said i9300 on it. There the same.
Did you test the headphones on anything else? Try another set of headphones?
Of course

Naturally. I tested on two identical Sony studio monitors, and a few earbuds. The problem was 100% hardware.
Have you guys tried cleaning out the headphone jack? Last time I had issues I had a little bit of lint stuck at the bottom and couldn't insert the headphone jack all the way in. Give it a shot and shine a light in, hopefully the issue you guys are having will just be a little lint!
Hope So

That's a possibility, albeit a slim one. I used a jewelers loop in my case. Inside are multiple contact pins. Not all are used for sound. One of my pins was 'pushed' inward. That's why jiggling the plug causes a temporary solution. After I removed the original part I dissected it. The pins are set into the molded plastic as a single piece. The pins themselves are a single ribbon bent to flex a bit.
I figure in my case to much flexing of a the heavier plug with the weight of the coiled cord (Sony MDR-7505 Headphones) caused it to mash inward as I walked around. I'll never know for sure.
I hope it is just lint in the OP's case. If not at least parts are available. Non OEM parts are even less then what I paid. That or just wait for the repair done by Samsung.

Hmm, I think i'm starting to have the same issue as you. When I had my LG i had the issue with the plug and lint.. it seems this time with the S3 it's just not as well made. Where would you be purchasing the part from? I would consider fixing it on my own..

Using the Galaxy Nexus and I had just purchased the Klipsch s4a earbuds (amazing purchase for anybody who's an audio lover without incredibly deep pockets) and the audio kept cutting unless I had the jack placed in a specific manner --which is impossible to keep in a jacket, so I came across this thread and wondered how the hell lint can get into such a small hole. I checked by digging a toothpick till the end and scraping out a massive chunk.
Earbuds work amazingly now.

I'm having the same problem, but for me it's worse when the headphones go too far down. In other words I intentionally put some tiny bits of paper into the hole and now it doesn't cut out as easily. But still if I move the plug too far to one side it'll cut off, which is really annoying when it's in my pocket and I occasionally bump the chord plug with my hand. I generally use iphone earbuds. I've read that the samsung jacks are a slightly different size than standard. This might contribute to the problem.

Where did you read that Samsung jacks are a different size? I have used several different 3rd party headphones and have not had a single issue. They all fit and work perfectly.
If anything is made with a different size, I'd be much quicker to suspect Apple before Samsung. They love building proprietary hw so people will be forced to do things their way!
Have you tried a different brand of headphones? It is possible the jack itself is messed up somehow too though.

Honestly I've only tried my old and new iphone earbuds. Both have the same problem, but what I discovered by shaving the plastic away from the tip of the jack is that the further in it goes the more it cuts off, hence shoving paper into the hole to keep it from going in too far.
Another thing I did notice is that this problem started when the headphones became much looser. When I first bought the SGS3 I had to really push hard to get the headphones into the phone. I could literally drop the phone from my pocket and it wouldn't detach and would just dangle from my ears. Now it comes out really easily. Clearly something isn't gripping well enough. That seems to be the real issue I guess, but I have no idea how to get in there and fix it. I don't want to risk breaking my phone trying to take it apart.
sounds like the inside of the jack is messed up. When you were having to push hard to put them in, it most likely bent or wore out the part it snaps into over time.
Only real solution to that, that I can think of, would be to replace the jack I'm afraid.

My headphone jack has started to act strange a few days ago. I can only hear out of one side and the otherside sounds kind of low. I thought it was my headphones so I bought a new pair but even the brand new pair does the same thing in my phone. I noticed if I push back on the base of the plug that goes into the jack and apply some pressure, it restores full sound to both ears. Has anyone had this issue? I figure it's hardware related and I need to take it into a Sprint store to be repaired/replaced. Any ideas?

I am facing headphone jack issues of late with my Note 2. I have tried many headphones and earphones in my Note 2 and only the left audio works. If I wriggle around the audio jack and if I put the wire in a certain position, then the right audio comes and again stops even if the wire moves slightly. Its very annoying that I have to adjust the cable all the time. It is most likely a hardware problem with the jack. Should I give it in the service center or is there anything that I can do ? I am rooted and using a custom ROM. Will they repair it under warranty, if I flash back to stock ROM and reset the counter ?
Thanks
I had this problem with my mp3 player. It's very frustrating.
This picture is from a mp3 player, but it's the same in our phones. I think something is broken inside the yellow cirkle.
I have the exact same problem. Its a shame bcuz Note 2 has been the best phone Ive ever hsd.
Try cleaning out the port with a Q Tip and compressed air. No liquids if it continues then I would have services. Before sending it in have the stock firmware with kernel and recovery. And test it after that before sending it in.

Agreed, a can of compressed air may end up costing you significantly less time and money!

Mine is doing this too, but only with certain cables plugged in. Those with a wider flat plug have the issue, where those with a smaller rounded plug do not. I am attempting to just get a cable for my headphones that have a smaller rounded plug, instead of getting the phone fixed, since it works with some. I think it is more an issue with not being able to push the plug entirely flush as the phone is curved, than with a defect in the contacts (though nothing would suprise me).
I've just sent my note 2 to Samsung (via Vodafone) to have the headphone socket fixed.
They refused because it was rooted It was still on stock Vodafone firmware and I forgot to unroot it lol

Note 2 Headphone jack fix for me
I too had this same issue. I have figured it out. I could not get the headphone jack to work, cleaned it and everything. I thought my phone was done. Then I was changing out my sd card I noticed a screw loose. The one right between the camera and the flash. I tightened it up and sure enough the headphone jack works now!! Not sure if this will fix all of your issues but just thought I would throw that out there.
Mine eventually went out completely, so i ordered a new one on eBay for $6 US. It literally took 5 minutes to fix.

I am in the UK and Vodafone were adamant that they (or Samsung?) wouldn't fix it because it was rooted. He then agreed with me that rooting my phone would in 'no way break the headphone socket' lol, still wouldn't repair it though
Do you have a link or anything that says EU phones must be fixed if they are rooted? I'm going to send Samsung a snotty email and it would be useful.

One of many authoritative sources: http://matija.suklje.name/rooting-and-flashing-your-device-does-not-void-the-warranty-in-eu
It boils down to that the repair centre has to maintain warranty as long as they cannot prove that rooting is the direct cause to whatever problem you have.

Exactly this. I was going to have to unroot , until I saw this. There is also another little screw to the right of the jack when looking at the back of the phone with the cover off. Check this one too. They were both loose on mine.
LOL I had a flat bladed jeweller's screwdriver I had pocketed at home for no reason. Saw this at the office, and VOILA. Fixed. Fate.:laugh:

This also seems to have cured the hissing audio problem when using the audio while charging with a USB, which according to Samsung "is normal".
headphone jack issues.
II bought my note 2 used. The headphone jack was broken when I bought it. I've had the jack replaced twice in the past month. It keeps going out. The sound turns to static but if I move the plug, it will work a little while. Is this a note 2 defect or did I just buy a bad phone?

I got this issue just few weeks ago. I purchased a replacement audio jack, and installed it today. Not working. Then I tightened the screws a bit, and it worked! For a good ten seconds... and the issue remains.
Does anyone know the inner workings on this device? It seems to be a connecting issue. I tried adding some pressure around the audio jack area on top of the plastic cover, but it didn't help... The phone works just fine otherwise, and I happened to notice that the original headset volume rocker and microphone works but I can't hear anything!
i have this problem. nothing works
Having an interesting/annoying time with my n7105.
Dropped it one too many times, and the headhphones audio turned into a static hissing mess!
I found that by just smaching the phone against my knee or something solid, the audio would return for about an hour.
It got worse and worse and eventually I decided to fix it. I purchased a replacement audio receiver jack and installed it, but the problem still remains, so I'm unsure where the actual issue is occurring.
I found that by tightening a screw just below the audio jack, that it fixed the problem. I have to tension it just right... Too tight and the issue returns.
I think the issue must be with the connector on the motherboard, where the ribbon cable connects. I say this because the screw I'm tensioning to fix the issue sits pretty close to this, and would be pressuring this down and around.
So I'm not sure how I'd fix this without replacing the entire motherboard.
I'll crack it open again soon and have another dig at it.

Post from Android Central forums
After my earlier rant I opened my phone and have managed to fixed my knee smacking problem. The problem was a bad ground between the screen and motherboard. I have added a picture of the two metal surfaces I cleaned (circled in yellow) to get the good connection back. These are not pics of my phone because it was apart obviously but it is the same phone. My sound is 100% crystal clear I believe the problem comes with dropping the phone and the connection going bad due to lack of enough screws in the area of the connection. I also ran the screw directly into the motherboard instead of through the plastic backing in the same area I circled. Stop smacking you're phones!!

Well I attempted half of this. I opened the phone up again and cleaned up the connections with some 100% Isopropyl rubbing alcohol (they had a bit of gunk on them).
Started putting the phone back together and cracked my screen. Hurray!
finished putting it back together and there's no improvement.
I'll pull it apart and place the above screw directly into the motherboard as instructed and see if that helps.
Will update upon completion.
So I am having a weird issue with my headphone jack. I have replaced it to no avail.
One day it just started getting all static-y and then cut out in a period of 10 seconds or so. If I wiggle the headphone jack it will come back on. However, without even touching the device, it cuts back out sometimes.
I have tried flashing different ROMS so I know its not software related.
I had not played with any audio software that boosts gain that could have damaged it that way.
As I previously stated, I ordered a replacement jack and replaced it, making sure the ZIF connector is snug and making contact.
It does it with anything plugged into my headphone jack, any pair of headphones, any stereo with a 3.5mm to RCA cable, anything.
Has anyone experienced this? I have a feeling whatever circuitry that drives the headphone jack itself is damaged.
Audio is always fine over the speaker or bluetooth.
Thanks in advance.

It's a common issue with these phones. I went through the same thing you did, ended up replacing the jack multiple times to no avail. Eventually just cashed in on my phone insurance and had them send me a new one. As far as I could find, no one was able to resolve the issue once it began happening, but it would gradually get worse.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'd hate for you to chase your tail around as I did. Temporary fix is putting pressure from the front of the phone to the back in a pinch fashion about where the headphone jack is. Goodluck!
Try using a hair dryer on it for a few minutes (medium to no heat with a fast sweeping motion... not concentrating the air on it 100% of the time). There may be some moisture in the connection that might be messing with it (happened a few times with my portable devices and it helped all the time).

I have fixed tons of these on our phones. Common issue. That part is like 5 bucks the you need to replace. Taking the phone apart to do so, its pretty simple. on a scale of 1-10 10 being hardest i give it a 3. I can assure you wont void warranty because there's nothing to void, lol. If you need help advice or want me to do it for ya, send me a message.

What is the part you are referring too? I have already replaced The headphone jack and it did not fix it.
If you replaced the internal jack. Then 1 you ordered a defective one or 2 your main board is fried. If you bought the part from China its probably bad. Edit: did you actually replace the headphones yet?
