Check to see of it's dirty would be a place to start. All kinds of stuff can get in the connector on top of the phone. Give it a blow out with some compressed air and stick a cotton swab in there, see what happens.
I have tryed but it doesn't work. I have opened my hox now for look in side but here everything looks ok. Jack is not moving, every thing look good. My input is fine. I thing there is problem with pins inside plug. I used my phone hard, every day headphonees in, phone in pocket. I dont want send it do service
May some one have photo of working jack input and i can compare to my.
What's your ROM? I had a same problem with a sense 4+ ROM, now with cm 10.2 works fine

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.
Hi guys I bought this new headphone RC-E160 made by HTC some 2 months ago and now the right speaker has stopped working just like the headphones bundled with HTC. Has anybody encountered similar problems with their headphones, is it possible to fix it
Probably a faulty wire. It can be fixed, but because you are asking this question, I can assume you do have the knowledge and the required materials.
Tried to reply lol sent pm

Well, I have the same problem with my old headphones. One speaker doesn't work. I found out that there is something wrong with phone's jack connector. When I press the headphones into the phone (I have to use a lot of strenght..), it works, but when I stop pressing the headphones into the phone, it moves a little bit, and the contact between phone and headphones is lost.
My waranty is void because of root, so I decided to buy a bluetooth headphones, does anyone have any experience with it?
That was my exact problem also! Try shaving a Q - Tip and lightly dip it in rubbing alcohol and give it a swab, it worked for me being an old phone I just figured dust build up, also I switched to a pair of Marley headphones that claim wont break and the jack is quite strong, still got my WFS even though I recently upgraded to gnex. Hopefully that helps, if not I'd say replace it, use amazon for ANY cell phone replacement parts you need and YouTube for several tutorial videos!

I have been having issues with my headphone Jack and music only coming out of the left speaker. Is there a way to fix this? It works when I move the Jack around, but then stops after I let go. If anyone has any ideas, info, or tricks let me know, it will much apprcieated.
Thank You

You have to buy a new headphone. I have experienced that several times. In different phones. There is no way to get it to work. Only a new headphone will do the trick. Try another headphone and im almost sure that itll work.
-Press THANKS if i helped.
I've tried half a dozen or so 1/8" jacks same issue its internal but thanks any ways

I've had sense problem also when going to auxiliary port for the car i didn't really try to fix it though just gave up

I had that problem and was able to fix it. The problem for me was the metal piece that contacts the jack was slightly popping up out of place. I took the battery door/battery off and then removed the back housing. I stuck a little piece of foam on the metal piece that was popping out of place so the back housing would hold it in place. Has worked perfectly since.
I'll try and find a pic of what I'm talking about. Pic added, I circled the area in red.
Well I have been using skullcandy earphones for the past 2-3 months.. a couple of days back I noticed that when I pit in the headset, I noticed that it was not being recognised by device... At first I thought it was a problem with my earphones so tested them with a bunch of other devices including my old galaxy ace, laptop and a blackberry (my fends)
Then I thought maybe it was a jack problem and tried using the default earphones that I got along with the device... And they seemed to be recognised perfectly...
Upon multiple tries it did recognise my skullcandy but I had to like restart my phone each time or try smtn like locking and unlocking my phone...
Again I though maybe my headset has smtn broken and dipped the pointy end in a lil bit of saltwater... I know the idea sounds stupid but since salt water is a conductor of electricity, I thought I wild find out if it was because the suppuration wasn't being passed on to the headphones... So when I did this and connected the headphones, they worked absolutely perfectly and were recognised by the device...
Also I installed toggleheadphones that I am using as a temporary solution but I cannot use beats audio mode while using the toggle
Also I am running jb and it is an relocked device which I rooted aat a point but then decided to remove root access... It has never been custom rimmed and I reflashed stock rom after removing clockworkmod..
So my question is shuld I try to reach out to HTC and ask for repair or is it a headphone issue or if it is an os problem and mainly if there is a permanent fix....
Any help is appreciated =)
Bump!! Anybody?
try to take it back to the shop. or better yet, service center
there must be a problem with the jack, cos' my HOX combined with my AKG delivers amazing music..
or maybe you haven't update the software yet?

I did upgrade the software... Anyother pair works just fine =|… So yeah... Will take it to a service center this week sometime...
I had the same issue with my Beats Tours. No problem with my 20$ headphones though. Use a flashlight to look inside your jack. Things you wanna look for us cracks dust and dirt. Also there is a spring loaded connector near the top-ish on the same side as the mic hole by the jack hole. Make sure that connector isn't over compressed and try to use tweasers to pull it back out. If you need to clean inside use methanol hydrate or isopropyl alcohol on a cotton tip.

HELP. I was using my phone to listen to music via the free ear set when all of the sudden it stopped transmitting sound through the earbuds but instead went to go to loudspeaker. It is as if there is no ear set attached to the jack anymore. I thought my ear set was the one malfunctioning so I tried connecting my spare ear set but still yields the same problem.It is as if the jack became loose all of a sudden. I didn't recall dropping my phone or accidentally pulling the ear set wires while still attached to the jack that may perhaps damaged it. One thing I observed is that I can the make the music transmit to the ear set if I press the pin to the 3.5 mm jack really really hard but will immediately stop working again the moment I lift my finger thus going to loudspeaker again. Obviously, I cannot be doing the whole pressing thing everytime I want to listen to music cause its plain ridiculous just imagining that. The jack is literally rendered useless now. HELP !!! What should I do? Is this considered hardware problem already cause it seems like it? I just bought my unit December 1 last year so its considerably new. I already tried doing the SONY PC companion software repair just to be sure but still to no avail. Does anyone here experinced the same thing or is it just me.
HELP. As much as possible I dont want to leave my phone to service center as it takes them too long to repair it (2 weeks) and I have no spare phone to use.
THANKS in advance!!!
Send it to be repaired...

Same thing happened to my Z5P today... Read various forums and tried lots of "solved" issues but couldn't get it to work...
Will try and reset the phone after work today to see if it's a software issue, otherwise it will be sent to repaired...
Anyone else had the same problem?
Mine did that too, but i think it was only the headphones. Because it did work with other headphones and has been working fine
found a solution on sony forums..got mine working
Here what I did to get it working again:
Go to Settings > Apps > ALL > Smart Connect. and clear it's data.
Go to Play Store and install SoundAbout.
Open SoundAbout app and go to Media Audio and select your headset type in my case I selected [Wired Headset (with Mic)]
Plug-in your headset and the device should detect it now! wink
This is concerning to hear. Can anyone update to see if @wilger_18 's solution works?
this work around is annoying, You have to toggle ON OFF button if u want your phone to think if its going into loudspeaker or going into headseat more. Will wait for Marshmallow update if this will fix cause if its not then ill probably send it for repair.

Exactly same problem with my z5 premium , it works with soundabout but device doesn't detect the headset for itself, it is logical for a software issue and not hardware. Please let me know if u get a solution
Thanks a lot
Same issue here
Need to push the headphone very hard to make it be connected. I wonder if this is a hardware issue or just a software. Since I tried @wilger_18's workaround but it did not work on my end. I also reflashed the firmware with Flashtool and PCC but no luck...
Had this problem. For me it was hardware defect. Took it to my carrier shop. They confirmed the problem, took it to be serviced. One week later got my phone back. Replaced headphone jack and outer frame.
Works as should now. Hopefully it doesn't fail again. Disappointed that a $900+ device has a fault like this.

here didn't work out ... my headset (that came with the device) is not being recognized, I think i'll have to bring the assistance for a cleaning in connector.
Edit: With Soundabout works...
Enviado de meu Z5 Premium usando Tapatalk.
Soundabout app works also for me but how is that possible doesnt make sense at all :/ hope someone finds a fix for this. Maybe format??
Mine no longer works either. This is the first time a Sony phone I owned has malfunctioned and I started with W810. In US, with Taiwan device. Emailed Sony Taiwan to see if I can get it repaired. Of course, Sony US can't work on a foreign phone. Comical, they all have the same headphone jack.
UPDATE: Sony Taiwan doesn't offer international shipping for repairs so I have two options, fly to Taiwan or live with it. Looks like it will be the latter. Back in the box to collect dust.

I noticed that in his box z5p not appear headphones. This means they have disabled headjack to promote bluetooth headphones. So it's a software limitation.
Mine broke down twice, last week i sent in my z5 premium for repair sony replaced my screen, motherboard, side frame... Seems like i got all new phone... Also my headphone jack was fixed twice in 10 months...

Not all Z5P's came with headphones. Mine didn't so I alternate between my Sennheiser's and my Jays. The noise cancelling headphones I got with my Z2 are sound somewhere... and they work.
