Earphone jack - messed up? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys.
So I listen to a lot of music and podcasts with earphones. I was using this old pair of earphones, and the audio started to crack up every time the earphones moved a bit in my pocket, so I got rid of them thinking they were old and worn out.
I tried a new pair, and the same issue is happening. Could it be that the jack itself is messed up somehow? Is there anything I can do?
Thanks!

3.5mm Headphone jack not registering...

I have a Sprint Galaxy Nexus running CNA 3.4.1. I've only used the headphone jack maybe twice before to listen to music and everything worked just as it should. Recently however, i tried plugging in some regular headphones and when i played my music it came out the speakers. So i tried a few different headphones and some speakers and still the same problem. The little headphone icon that usually shows up in the status bar doesn't show up. I looked inside the 3.5mm jack and its clean, no lint, bent wires, anything. But no matter what i do i can't seem to get any headset to work. I'm forced to use my bluetooth adapter for my speakers.
This isn't a grave issue as i may rarely use headphones at all. But knowing that option isn't there anymore is just an inconvenience.
Any help appreciated. No rush. Just wondering if anyone else ran into this problem and knows how to fix it.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: Turns out after trying to play music through my bluetooth adapter it doesn't work. Bluetooth is connected, my speakers are hooked up, and the music is playing on my phone. Just no sound at all. This is a big deal! It's as if my phone won't play audio through anything but the internal speaker.
Again any help is appreciated.

Return to stock ROM to see if that fixes the problems. If not, it's likely a hw issue that headphones aren't detected.

I did that and still did not recognize it. Feels like my only option left is to open the phone and see if something was disconnected or get a new one.

[Q] headphones keep getting messed up, jack issue?

I've had this phone for about a year now, and it seems every 4 months my headphones lose audio in one ear.
The first time it happened it was the ear buds (w/ mic) that came with the phone, so I thought they probably weren't that great to begin with and bought a new pair with the mic attached. Worked for few months and then same thing happened, I wouldn't get sound out of one ear. So then I started using a pair of headphones with no microphone attached to it and yesterday I started hearing the audio start to go in and out of one of the ears. So I know the inevitable is about to happen.
The headphones with the mic, I'd lose the audio on the side the microphone would be on as well, and on the other one I'm losing it on the right side. I'm assuming this is a jack problem, is there anyway to fix it because I really don't want to have to go out and buy new headphones every few months.
I've tried searching for help but all I keep seeing are people saying they wouldn't get audio once plugged in and not that they keep losing it over time and with different headphones like I'm experiencing.
Thanks for any help offered.

Headphone noise problems

I have the Note 2 and when I plug in headphones (any) and play music, it's static. You can tell what song is playing but it is pretty much worth someone humming it instead of singing it. This had started to occur recently. When I factory reset the phone, I tried it and it worked but then today i tried it and it's back to static. I'm debating on whether I should get the headphone slot replaced.
Note: the headphones work fine with any other device and I've tried it worth multiple headphones just in case you were wondering.
Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] Galaxy S3 headphone jack not recognizing headphones WITHOUT mics

This is something that just started happening. A week ago, my headphones got jerked out of the headphone jack. When I plugged my headphones in, it didn't recognize the headphones.
After borrowing some that worked, I bought a new pair (JVC Marshmallows off Amazon that I have used forever). They didn't work.
After borrowing two more pairs, I realized that my phone is playing headphones with a mic (three lines on the jack) fine but headphones without mics (with two lines) are not being recognized at all.
I'd really like to get this fixed because I have 5 pairs of the JVC marshmallow headphones (I got free) and I want to be able to use them.
The only thing I can think of is that you might have striped the headphone port

Tablet sound is bad when using ear phones with the headphone jack:(

Hello there everyone i have had my Sammy Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T210R for 2-3 years now and there seems to be a major problem with it.
Every time i want to listen to my music with my ear phones or headphones with them plugged into the headphone jack the sound is perfect for a little bit but then you can hear the audio crackle every now or then. It also lags quite badly sometimes too. Another problem is that it decides to stop playing my music randomly whenever it wants too. I use the Stock Sammy Music app btw. The volume also turns down on it's own for no reason. These are issues im experiencing and a reboot won't fix it. I returned the tab to stock unrooted firmware but it still has the same problems. Could there be a problem with the headphone jack? Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
This is a very simple part to replace. Remove the rear cover, 2 screws from this jack, then install the new one. Take less than 5 minutes
