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.
Hi all
I'm having some audio and overall headset problems with my s4 mini.
First I tried 3 different headsets/headphones, and they all made this wierd sound when playing music. It was like the middle rage of hz were missing.
Then I tried to connect a micro-usb headset to see if this could work better, but the phone doesn't recognize the headset at all.
I'm able to charge my phone from the micro-usb.
Has anyone else tried this or even better, know a solution to this?

Hello
I bought the Note 10.1 2014 upon release in Canada and it has worked fine until recently. The tablet does not properly recognize my earphones, when I insert the earphones it will tell me "headphones connected" and the symbol would appear top left and than quickly disappear. I either have to fiddle with the earphone by turning it or push it right in for it to work but it will stop working there after.
I have reset the tablet and I have tried 4 perfectly good headphones and the result is the same. I called Samsung and they told me to get Samsung earphones.
Anyone else experiencing this? Would Samsung earphones fix this or is the headphone jack broken?
Thank you
Why would samsung earphones make a difference?? Seems like a fault has occured witht the headset jack.

Hello, bring this thread back from the dead
I didnt indicate this in my original post but I got the headphone jack problem a couple of days after I updated firmware via odin, got it fixed by sending to samsung.
I updated to kitkat via Odin a couple of days ago and now my headphone jack messed up again, keeps on reconnecting upon slightly moving the headphones.
Is this a coincidence?
Are you sure it's not the headphones? Have you tried a different brand?

Look in the headphone jack for lint or other debris.
Thx for the suggestions, tried different headphones and same thing, I will clean it with an air duster when I get a chance to buy it.
Thx
Nothing wokred
2nd time in three months this has happened, getting really annoying.
On a side note, anyone know if I can revert the firmware back to the Canadian version 4.3 (currently have kitkat 4.4)? If so, where can I find the firmware.
thx

Hi I've been experiencing the same issue, just wondering if you've found a way to fix this?
Apparently there is an issue with the samsung earphone jack but have not heard of a response from Samsung on this. My jack does not accept any devices, so it is all FG^&^ed up too. What to do about this?
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.
My at&t note 5 only plays music with samsung earbuds. Any other cable or set of headphones won't work. I did notice samsung earbuds have 3 lines in the tip. 1 of the lines is for microphone as far as i know. All the other cables i use only have 2 lines, but that should not be a problem. Is this a software issue? If it was hardware i would think not even samsung earbuds would work. I have not tried another pair of earbuds with microphone capabolities either, but i don't think that is the problem. Someone enlighten me, or tell me if you have had the same experience and solved the issue. Thanks in advance.
