Does anyone have any idea what might be going on with my phone? When I try to listen to music, it will sometimes only come out on the left channel but when I switch to a different music app such as google music, it works fine and sometimes its the other way around with stock lg music working instead. When listening with the working app it sounds perfect, no issues but the other will only behave that way. I'm complete stock, non rooted and have tried with different headphones with same results. It only started a couple of days ago.

My first guess would be that your headphone plug might not be fully seated into the phone's socket. I remember that my LGOG was pretty stiff when it came to inserting and removing the headphones from the phone. I haven't needed to use any yet with the OGP, but maybe the socket on it is a bit tight as well.
Second, it could be that the socket on your phone specifically is loose on the board. This, as well as my first guess, could also explain why the problem seems to be intermittent. Have you checked to see if trying to wiggle the jack makes a difference?
The fact that you said that it only happens sometimes and not consistently makes me think it's a poor hardware connection, but someone else might have some better insights.
Good luck!

I have wiggled and jiggled it, no pun intended, but no avail It mainly happens with the music apps, one app would work while the other didn't. I'm going to factory restore tonight and see if it persists but I'm not sure what it is. I really hope is isn't the socket though

Wow, you wiggled AND jiggled. Very thorough job!
The restore is probably a good idea. It's easier/simpler/cheaper to discount software than to troubleshoot/fix hardware. Has this been a recent development, i.e. has it ever worked properly and consistently?

I noticed today that my headphones / car stereo etc is only playing out of the left speaker unless I jiggle it. At first I assumed it was a wire going so I tried 5 different aux cables and 2 different headphones, it's all the same deal.. have to look for that sweet spot to make it play in both speakers.
I bought this launch day and I am pretty shocked the 3.5mm is going already, I've already tried cleaning it with dust off (air can) and it's still the same. What does sprint generally do to fix this? I have insurance, but I really hate getting a refurbished phone back... had bad luck with them in the past! Let me know if you guys know anything else I can try to repair it myself or if its a lost cause and just let sprint replace it.
thanks!

Honestly...I would just let sprint fix it. I don't think they would send you a totally new phone, but instead ask you to take it to a repair center. I have had that problem before but with a few cheap aux cables I had. I always tried a fresh new one and it worked fine...maybe all of your cables are going bad haha you never know!

yup its just from plugging it in and out too much over the past month, they replaced the jack free of charge in 20 minutes, works great again thanks
When I got my GS3, the same thing happened to me. I was about to unroot and call Sprint for a new phone... The I saw a thread with someone else with the same problem.
Turned out that what was wrong was that I just hadn't pushed the jack in far enough. Sounds to ridiculous to be true... But try it. Push your headphone plug in nice and firm until you hear a resounding "click".
I felt dumb, but saved me the grief of returning.

yeah I thought that at first, it wasnt that. a pin inside the jack somehow became loose enough to not make contact with the plug. the guy showed me after he fixed it.

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.

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 bought this phone used and didn't find out until later that the headphone jack plays distorted music.
Here's an example. Everything else with the phone is fine. In this video I taped the headphones to the mics on my laptop.
[edit] crap, i'm a noob and can't post my youtube vid. This is the title of it if you want to hear an example:
Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Distorted audio via headphone jack.
Here's what I've done so far to try and solve it.
1. tried 5 different sets of headphones.
2. made sure they were properly seated in the jack.
3. cleaned out the jack for possible debris.
4. disassembled phone and replaced jack with a new part.
5. disassembled phone and cleaned the motherboard and all connections with Electronic cleaner and a toothbrush.
6. Reset phone
7. tried several different music players.
8. turned off WiFi, BT, put phone in Airplane mode.
9. altered all the sound settings I could find, surround, balance, boost, etc.
The water mark on the battery shows it got wet.
The water mark on the frame and speaker is missing.
The water mark on the motherboard is dry.
Also, I've used the iPhone for the last 5 years, so Android is new to me. BTW, except for this, I love the phone. I have thought this was a hardware problem, but before I give up I'd like to make sure this is not a software issue.
I finally resorted to the Reset, and I'm dealing with that right now. I also ordered a BT adapter so I can re-route everything through that. So I can play music in my truck.
Any advice or idea of where to go now would be welcome.
Thanks,
Kevin
I think the water indicator is your best clue that it's a hardware issue. I dunno how to test to isolate the component so you can try to fix it yourself though.
Out of curiosity, did the seller dispose that it was water damaged?

No, he did not disclose that it was water damaged. He also said that the headphones worked perfectly the last time he used it.
I find it funny that one of the screws was missing and the watermark was missing. Obviously someone had been in there and tried to fix it?
It doesn't matter, because I bought the phone and he's not going to take it back. Caveat Emptor. I didn't buy it at Best Buy, I bought it from some dude on Craigslist. I just got a $23 iKross device that will do both music and phone via a bluetooth adapter. I'm going to give up fighting it.
I thought I was going to be in the clear swapping out the headphone jack for $9. It was kind of fun taking apart the phone and checking out all the parts of it. This was kind of a forbidden activity with my iPhones, so it was interesting.
Thanks for your help, and Happy 4th of July!

Wow, that is quite impressive work....You deserve to have it work after you did all that.
It does sound like a hardware issue, but just out of curiosity, have you tried a different ROM?
Also if you have att, you could possibly do an insurance claim if it comes down to it.
I have the same prob. I took it to the Samsung repair center the guy quickly opened it , cleaned the audio jack... dint work, replaced the audio jack.. didnt work...
He mentioned sometimes connecting the jack to some other output devices like some amplifier or some sound system may have damaged the component/IC/Diode/resister/or whatever is responsible as the place where im am.. they have poor electrical earthing as the electricity standards are very poor and may have short circuited / excess electric current reached the phone and spoilt it
The solution >> Get a new motherboard !!! according to the Samsung engineer..if anyone has found a solution please share ! apart from changing a costly motherboard !

I had the same problem, i tried everything. Wiping, different rom, viper audio drivers...
Then i read in a comment on youtube to tighten the screws (especially the one between the camera en the led). Everything works now!
here another solution I found. I know this is a year old thread but it might help other people
I tried testing the earphone jack while the back housing is removed and while trying to figure out what causing it I found out that the ribbon is losing the connection to motherboard so I added another layer to the top of the ribbon connector to keep it in place and the sound distortion never happened again.

Hi, I've been having a weird issue with my headphone jack that I was hoping someone might be knowledgeable enough to help with.
Long story short, I haven't been able to use headphones for a while. Any time I plug in a set of headphones, music will, most of the time, come out of the external speaker as if there was nothing plugged in. Every once in a while I am able to get music through the headphones, but it is extremely distorted, almost as if some of the frequencies are missing and you're only getting part of the range.
Now, the weird thing is that my phone works perfectly in my car using an aux cable. Just plug everything in and music runs through the car's speakers as if there was no issue to begin with. This gave me the idea of trying to use a female-female connector to plug the aux cable into the phone and the connector, and headphones into the connector. This does not work at all.
I'm completely at a loss as to why this is acting up. I really don't want to take it in to a repair place, and would be willing to try fixing it myself if someone was able to isolate the problem.
Thanks in advance.
Check your headphones first. It may just be a short in your headphones

Well, it took a while, but after updating there is no difference from before. It seems like it's having trouble detecting that headphones are attached, but no issue with the AUX input.
I tried plugging in an aux cable last night, and I couldn't get it to go all the way in. If I pushed it hard enough, the sound would come through the speakers but as soon as I let go, it disconnected. I tried a few different pairs, and it seems there's something preventing the 3.5 mm jack from being inserted all the way. I tried it with and without my Rugged Armor case, too. Anyone else have this issue? Might have to take it in, but with the Pixel XL being in short supply I really don't want to go without a phone
Just rma it
I gave it quite a bit of pressure. I didn't wanna break it, lol. I shouldn't have to push it in that hard though, just wondering if this was a universal issue or is it an isolated incident

Hi Chris,
It appears I am having the same, or nearly identical issue. I tried using my aux cord, as I normally do nearly every day, on Wednesday and it wasn't connecting properly, giving some weird feedback through the output (or no output at home) and thought it was an issue with the aux to cassette (very possible with the high use and mechanical failures).
At home I tried with headphones, and I could not get a full connection. The device stopped playback of the music as it always does when it detects some input, but there was no output, and at times google now would be activated or the volume down would be activated, but this headphone had no control on it whatsoever, so some sort of short/feedback was emulating a volume control.
Talking with project fi now about my options...still haven't sold my 6p yet so I could still use as a backup, but what a hassle...
I've never had this problem before. Could it be lint? I can't look inside and tell, and I don't have tweezers small enough to reach in.

If you take it into a bestbuy and go to the Samsung reps they'll take a look at it for you and tell you if there is lint or not and get it out for you I know that they're Samsung reps but they help with any Android device lol

No need, went to one of the phone service kiosks in the mall and they used tweezers to pull out a sh-t load of lint. Looked like a magic trick, neither of us could believe it.
Take a toothpick and press towards the bottom, if it's spongy, it's probably lint. Use a bright light to look inside.
A good sucking of the head jack should clear up any clogs..
I actually had the same problem (Pixel XL and I could not plug in my headphone jack all the way). I received the XL on 10/20, but had yet to use my headphones until this past weekend. It seems like this might be a common problem because when I called the Google Pixel Support, they immediately transferred me to Project Fi support and the girl I was speaking with immediately began the process of sending me a new phone (this was on Sunday 11/28). I received the new phone today (11/30) and everything works fine with the new phone and headphone jack.
I have this issue with the Google Pixel. I just got the device yesterday and when plugging it into aux cord in vehicle the sound was distorted. I tried the next time I got into car and it doesn't go in all the way. I went home and tried multiple pairs of headphones and they don't fit into headphone jack 100%. It goes in most of the way but stops at the top and doesn't hold in place. I called Google support and am waiting on a callback.
I had the exact same issue. A bit of canned air worked for me!
