Hey guys!
I was wondering if anyone would know how to go about fixing a head jack that only works on both speakers in certain positions and on 1 speaker in other positions. I've tried cleaning it out multiple times but to no avail. Any ideas?
TIA

Some people have experienced shorting of the port due to slightly larger Audio cables. S3 requires slim cables.
I had to get Warranty replacement myself for this reason.

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.

Hey,
I've been experiencing an issue with the aux out in my car that only happens when I use the note other phones sound fine. There is static that sounds like wind blowing. Any ideas would be great I'm thinking of taking it to a car audio guy.

Are you charging your Note II at the same time? It could be alternator whine coming through the charging circuit. You can fix it by adding a ground loop isolator between the phone and auxiliary input.
I am not charging at the same time and it also happens when the engine is off.

Do you hear the interference with headphones too? If headphones also produce the noise and other phones connected to the car do not, then it might be a hardware problem with the jack.

No, headphones sound fine. It's really strange.
I have the same issue and believe it is due to the jack not being able to completely be inserted. look at the back cover when its plugged in and tell me if you see some of the plug exposed.. could be wrong but pisses me off as well
Prerty staight forqard then. Its not your phone causing it. Try swapping out the cable?

An update in the issue... I ordered a ground loop isolator from amazon and the problem disappeared seems to work fine it was only 10 bucks so not that big of a deal.

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.
Hi guys,
I would appreciate some help if anyone has the knowledge or acces.
I was given a note n7105 that had been water damage. I cleaned it up and got it working but it had a mic issue.
The short story is that I found a loose component on the board that looked like it had corroded at one end. I tried to solder it back on but being as far gone as it was, it disintegrated.
Now all this does is make the on board mics completely useless, they don't work at all ( I assume it provides ac coupling to/from the audio chip) but the Bluetooth/auxiliary mic does (which I think is coupled by a component adjacent to the broken one).
I am in desperate need of the value of that component (assumed capacitor) to make my mic/s work again.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Yes I've googled this for three days. No I haven't found any useful information yet that is why I'm asking here.

Hi,
Microfone coupling capacitors can be very diferent. You can can try one of 1 uf, and experiment, if that doesn't go well try another value like 4.7uf or 10 u or even 100 nf.
You can buy 4 or 5 eletrolityc capacitors with diferent values and try. Place it with carefull and don't heat too much the motherboard.
After you find the one that suits better,
buy smd and place it.
Thanks mocito. I cleaned it up with about 350° heat small hakko tip ( way too big BTW) but it worked. I know a dead short is wrong because the thing wouldn't turn on. Open circuit I believe is the cause of my audio routing issues, mainly because I had the opposite problem true the day before. The on board mics worked and the headsets wouldn't. I found this component leaning on the one next to it, and when removed it brought about my current issue.
It would be nice to confirm that this component is tied to the onboard mic audio.
I'll try a few different values if I can get my hands on them and give it a shot. It would be nice to get working. Kinda just sporting a small tablet in its current function.

Well I fixed it. Two problems I had with this unit. That cap was dislodged and my mic (board assembly at the bottom of the phone with the antenna contacts) was also jiggered. But, with some perseverance I got a capacitor about the same size as the big one just above those two tiny ones and soldered one pad to the side of that big one and to the bottom of the little one that I am assuming couples the audio for the bluetooth and external headsets. They were in common with the top and bottom solder pads for the missing capacitor. Once again if someone can confirm my assumptions I would appreciate it. Thanks mocito for your input.

Hello All,
I have been having issues with my headphone jack. It started out with static on the headphone jacks and ended up becoming completely dead in a span of 2 months. Reading through many of the Google search results, I did what everyone suggested. Tightened the screws near the camera and then replaced the headphone jack assembly. I am still not able to make it work. The earpiece is working fine though. Any suggestions?

Have you tried different headphones?
Are they are plugged in all the way?
If you push the headphone plug in a direction perpendicular to the jack (try several directions), does it make it any better/worse?
I had issues with my headphone jack and I just replaced it today and it works perfectly. Are you sure the cable connecting the jack to the motherboard is connected completely? You could also inspect the connector on the motherboard to make sure the connector looks in good shape with nothing bent, etc. If all is well and you are confident the replacement was good, I would say your motherboard could be bad...which is a little strange since your earpiece is working and it uses the same connection.
I give mine a good smack against a hard object. Usually just below the camera lens, and under the headphone jack works the best. I know it sounds like I'm joking, but seriously, give it a shot. I suspect the root cause is probably a loose connector, but I've never cracked mine open.

Try tightening the screws on the back of the phone. I have heard it can fix the loose connection.
