Try a different pair of headphones in the jack. Its most likely the headphones that are messing up. I had a pair of earbuds that did that and it made me think my HD2 was dying -__-
i did .....my headphones + earbuds is having the same problem
Did you try a reboot? my phone did that a few times reboot fixed it up
yuppppppp i just rebooted and shutdown X_X
SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
does anyone know where i can try to repair this X_X radioshack? J&R? cant even hear music on last day of my break this is probably the sadest moment of my life

Or insurance
I had the same problem with my audio jack, at least that's i thought... but it was the headphones... two pair... picked up a deff pair from walmart and they work fine. Had to buy a deff audio cable as well.
earbud holes are on the side of your head and the 2.5mm audio jack is on the phone... lol
I'd say it's the headphones, just a fluke that both didn't work. It's pretty hard to mess up a 3.5mm audio port, headphones are much more easily messed up. Try another pair, get a pair of cheap $15 skullcandies, it'll give you a definite answer. Worse case scenario, you confirm your thought and have a decent pair of backup headphones.
my headphone works in my PC nope i dont have insurance or warranty X_X
it dont make sense if my headphone work on my PC and doesnt work on my phone :/
You could call Samsung and ask if there's a nearby repair center?
i use t-mobile and my phone is rooted....should i unroot it first O_O?

While it may seem I was trying to be funny, I wasn't. People don't realize how volume (to shut other people out at the gym for instance) can still cause hearing damage.

Hi there --
I'm a recent convert to the GS3 (and Android in general) from an iPhone 4. About all the music I listen to in my car was from my iPhone, and I want to do the same with my GS3, however, the sound quality from the 3.5mm jack to the AUX in on my car's deck is absolutely awful. I have to turn the volume much higher than I ever did with my iPhone or iPod, and even then the sound quality is very poor -- there is very little punch/bass in the music.
I've been researching a possible "USB car dock cable" which would allow me to get line out audio (rather than through the regular headphone jack) through the USB port on the bottom of the phone, but it seems the only solution is to buy a dock or DIY the cable yourself, nobody seems to sell them (and I'm not really willing to DIY a cable).
Any ideas what I might be able to do to improve the audio quality? I absolutely love the phone, but this is a pretty big caveat for me.
Mine sounds great, do headphones sound ok? Maybe your aux port is effed up. If that's the case exchange it ASAP. Are you rooted? Custom rom? Stock?

Headphones sound fine from my GS3, and other devices (iPhone/iPod) sound great on the same AUX jack in my car.
I am rooted running the leaked Bell Jellybean Touchwiz ROM.
Be interested to see what replies there are to this. I have the exact same problem. I find the volume is way too quiet and if I turn up the audio on my stereo I get an awful hissing noise. I have no problems on my sensation XE, only GS3. Headphones work fine so I seriously doubt its the aux port on the phone.
I have found some info that might help as your rooted.....

Im running the same rom and was having the same problem. I uninstalledGoogle Play music and then it asked me to update Google Play Music even though I had uninstalled it. When I did, my sound issues were gone. I was having tje same problem in my car. Now everything's fine.

I also found that first link, but it only works on the International version of the GS3, I have the AT&T i747.
I have a 07 lexus, with an older bluetooth profile that does not allow for streaming music. I found a belkin product, caraudio connect, that will create a streaming a2dp profile through my aux port. On my s3/att/ics (stock), everything worked great. I had a profile for my phone audio and another for my media audio, and could connect both at the same time. This was great as i did not have to switch to aux for phone calls.
However, i had issues with hiss, drops, static, engine noise, etc. I had used many ground loop isolators in the RCA/car audio world, but never one on a 3.5mm stereo (double pole) connection. After adding the inline isolator from my aux port to the belkin product, my engine noise disappeared! I also found that when i updated to JB (CM10/sapir), both bluetooth profiles could operate at the same time without any interference issues on each profile.
If you have any questions on my rig, let me know.
parts:
Sorry, im new so it doesn't let me post outside links.
belkin: Part # F4U037tt
Ground loop isolator: Check out amazon, PAC Ground loop isolator for 3.5 MM applications. should be about 10 bucks.

Interesting topic. I've had issues with other phones where the volume couldn't be turned all the way up, as that would cause distortion. Have you tried turning your volume down a couple notches? I use my phone plugged into my car stereo all the time with zero distortion.
Could be hardware problem?

I just got the galaxy s3. Moved over from iPhone land. But am disappointed with this issue.
When I use the aux in via headphone jack and charge at the same time I get a horrible whine cracking and popping noise. This is unusual to me as I never had this issue with any of my I phones (3g and 4). This seems like a glaring oversight on Samsung part.

Hello,
After doing some research I have decided on the V-Moda M80 headphones. They include two cables, one for android and one for iPhone, but through my research I have found that the cables may be incompatible with some devices.
So has anybody used the M80's with the Galaxy Nexus and what are your thoughts on them?
Did the cable/remote work as designed or did you have to reverse the cable and lose the remote functionality?
Thanks

Wow nobody owns the M80's I guess. Can anybody compare the headphone jack configuration on the Galaxy S2 vs.Galaxy Nexus?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I actually owned a pair of m-80's a couple of months ago and used them on my galaxy nexus just fine. I don't recall the iPod certified cable working at all, or maybe just the middle button, but the android single button cable works just fine. Just make sure you're getting those headphones if you really can tell the difference in them from some other lower priced ones. I decided they didn't warrant the price after I got them but some audiophiles can really tell a difference.

I have tried pairs that are very cheap and even very expensive and I could hear a difference compared to the headphones I'm using currently which I got free.
Thank you for confirming the cable works.
EDIT: While you had the M80's how did you find the comfort and isolation of them?

I wouldn't think the GNex would drive it that well.

I thought they were really comfortable but the noise isolation and leakage was pretty bad, but that's kind of what you'd expect from a set of on-ear headphones.

Was the isolation so bad that you couldn't use them in relatively noisy places like a plane or bus or a mall?

No they weren't that bad, but using them in a library isn't a good idea because they can get kind of loud

I've browsed these forums a bit over the years, but I wanted to post (my first I think?) and say that I got these headphones today, and I have to reverse the cable with my Note 2.
Bit late now, will elaborate tomorrow.
So, the one button cable works pretty good for me plugged in the correct direction, just so long as I keep the 45 degree plug facing to the right while looking at my phone. If I turn the plug so it faces to the front or back, or anything in between that isn't to the right, my right headphone cuts out. The mic works, the button works, but I have to babysit the plug to keep it facing to the right.
What has your experience been? If I reverse the cable, the headphones work great no matter how I turn them. I am trying to research a cable that works, but so far I've had no luck.
My set only came with the android and iphone cable, no standard no-button one like I've read other have received. Maybe I should send V-Moda an email, I've heard they are quite accommodating.

That's interesting regarding the cable, maybe your cable is defective, I have spun the jack while connected to my phone with $5 headphones and the audio didn't cut out. I still haven't ordered the M80's, I have been trying to research a bit more as the m80's have poor isolation/comfort based on reviews I've read and I need good comfort and decent isolation, so the m80's might not be the right fit for my usage.

I don't think that the cable is defective as it were, I've read of others having the same problem. Reversing the cable seems to solve it, but then I lose the mic. I am going to try cleaning the headphone jack and emailing V-Moda. I have been having some problems with the Samsung headphones, twisting the plug can cut the right side in and out, but not predictably like the V-Modas. Cheapo sets don't exhibit this behavior, I am thinking it is something to do with the microphone.
Regarding comfort and isolation, I find both to be sufficient. Outside noises don't bother me, but I do tend to listen loudish. Prolonged use has fatigued my ears a bit, but that was while I was wearing my glasses, which I only do at work. I've heard that the ear pads break in over the first week or so, I'll be better equipped to comment in the near future.
They sound great. If you can get them from somewhere with a liberal return policy, I'd suggest giving them a try.

Does the audio work correctly when you hold down the button on the remote? Regarding the comfort, I have read its either very good or its bad depending on your head size/shape. The other alternative I'm considering is the Monster DNA On-ears they are supposedly very similar in sound to the m80's but with a hint more bass but the DNA are quite a bit more comfortable.

Holding down the button on the remote brings up the Google voice search. Kinda handy. But not if I can't get both headphones working consistently.
I'm going to a high end audio store here locally today...they sell lots of expensive headphones. Maybe one of them will have an idea. I don't mind buying new cables, I just want them to work.

I would contact v-moda, I have heard they are very generous and even offered free cables to people who had issues with the included cables.

I have the v-moda crossfade LP's and i think they use the same cable but only the middle button on my cable works but on my brothers ipod all the controls work fine.
It's no secret that the speaker sucks. So, I was thinking, does anything exist that would discretely fit into the headphone jack and amplify the sound? Basically, a mini speaker? Might be a nice workaround.

Some are louder then others. You can always try this fix if you think yours might have the problem.

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$
