Hey, I'm in a weird problem at present, by chance the golden tip of my earphone got stuck into the earphone jack and the technician said he couldn't take it out as its too small. So I can't hear a sound nor I can speak on phone because the nexus thinks the headphone is still plugged in, so I have to buy a new earphone jack. My questions are:
1. What will be the amount/price of a new samsung earphone (internal part with mic) jack.
2. Or is there any way of disabling the sound from the speaker and change the settings that sound is played through speakers despite the phone thinks earphones are plugged in?
Thanks in advance, please help.

Hey folks,
Having terrible problems with the headphone jack on my Desire. Basically, any movement of the headphone plug causes the right ear to cut out and lots of really annoying crackling. Seems like a loose connection I guess.
Has any experienced a similar problem and found a solution? Or do I have to send back to HTC for repair?
Any idea if compressed air would help or does it sound more like faulty contacts rather than dust in there?
Thanks
Did you tried different headphones?

you mean headphones from sony, samsung or nokia? I have tried all these on my desire... There is low volume and phone reboots after 15 seconds..
Only Original HTC Handsfree work... No other..
I tried other headphones too but they don't work, my handset rebooted almost immediately.
As for your problem, if they're inserted fully and you get crackling, you will probably need to send it for repair.

Yeah tried different headphones to no avail.
Has anyone carried out a repair on their headphone jacks or know what contacts etc. to look out for?
same problem here, is there any guide on how to replace the headphone jack.
i don`t want to sent in the phone for repair.
I have noticed that when I plug my earphones I cannot play sound from the phone speakers. I have been trying to get round this. Please some body help me.

Ah, I get this problem sometimes.
Remove the headphones, then put them back in, and then spin the headphone jack five times, it sends the signal to use the speaker for audio output instead of the head phones

CW or CCW ?
Maybe just to give him the benefit of doubt he actually meant for radio. If so go to settings and select speaker to get 'musuc'out the phone speaker

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.

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?

Yep, its hardware related. Its the physical connector.

If you have a cover on the phone, remove it and try again. I've seen covers interfere with the plug too.

I had this problem when I tried the Motorola headphones on my Samsung.
Are you using the original Samsung headphones?
If so, make sure the jack is firmly plugged all the way in.

Im using my Sol Republic V10's. I was having the issue this week and last night and it wouldn't do it on my Note 1 or Note 3. This morning I plugged them in my tab and the problem was gone. I'm worried somethings wrong with the jack but I'm gonna swap my headphones out at best buy today and see what happens. It's seated in the jack real good by the way.
Sound is amazing. I own the Sony X Headphones (MDRX10)
Yup it must have been the connection. New headphones, no issues. Just need viper and life will be good!
