Hi I've noticed a problem that my last htc one m7 doesn't have.
When I plugged the headphone in the phone the jack is a little bit loose.
if I pull the headphone wire is released by one notch and it sounds only the right ear.
It's not a big problem but I've tried also with onether htc one m8 and it shoes the same exact problem.
Do you know a way to fix it?
Hate to bring this back from the dead, but I've got the same issue with my M8. Before I go through support with HTC, did you ever discover a solution?

Hi,
In the past I always had one common problem with my previous phones (palm treo's) and that is with the 3.5mm jack. Apparently I found out that this is a hardware issue by fixing it myself. The metal (copper, apparently malleable) that's supposed to bend back to its original position whenever you disconnect your 3.5mm plug never did. So I bent it back and it fixed everything. Of course it voided my warranty but at least I didn't have to wait for weeks.
Right now I'm thinking twice about plugging in headphones on my desire. I'm not sure if it got the same old crap inside. Maybe someone here knows if the headphone jack is now dependable?
Thanks!
I've opened my phone to fix some buttons and i got to say...the headphone jack just looks pretty standard to me...
My HTC earphones won't output audio to my left plug.
This is the third pair I've gone through as all the previous earphones had the same fault. And it's always the left plug that stops working.
Are the HTC branded earphones really that bad?! I'm going to buy myself some quality earphones than wait once again a week to get another pair of soon to be faulty earphones.
Has this happened to someone else?
I would be inclined to think that this is connector problem, not the ear plugs. I have used the original plugs for just over a year with no problems whatsoever.

Just tested a bunch of other earphones, all of them work.
Something is wrong with the plugs because they work sometimes if held in a special way. My father pointed out that it could be a fault that occurs while the phone is in the pocket. However I never put my phone in my pocket while listening to music.

I don't think it will be the phones, try some pure alcohol or similar cleaning fluid on earbud jack and phone socket
Interesting, I had the exact same thing. I just ordered a new pair off amazon about 3 weeks ago. They were working perfect one day then the next time I went to use them the left one didn't make the slightest sound at all
The 3.5mm jack on my Elephone P8000 has already stopped working properly after only one day. It just stopped working in one ear and I tried wiggling the 3.5mm plug it a bit to see if that would bring the sound in both ears back and I felt something click a little when I tried pushing the plug down, it sounded like I pushed something further down. The wiggling helped for like one second but after that tiny click, I couldn't bring the sound back in both ears. When I do wiggle the 3.5mm plug, the sound gets louder in the ear that it already works in.
hello unfortunately have the same problem I am communicating with my salesperson , I hope you can help
same thing here, due to bad soldering, fixed it by soldering it myself
+1 also. I couldn't see where it needed soldering. Glass is coming off as well. probably can't send it back because I opened it. Would be too much hassle anyway. But that's the risk when not purchasing from a bricks and mortar shop..

Can you tell me where you soldered it exactly? I soldered it too. It improved the overall sound but it is still only on one ear.
I have the same problem. Could someone make a tuturial to fix this problem?

a little fix-tut ... for me too complicate
My headphones pull out of my audio jack very easily, too easily. I also tried cleaning out my audio jack too, but it didn't help very much. Any suggestions on what to do about this problem. Anybody else experiencing this?
Are you using a case or does it also happen when you don't use one?
It happens even when I don't use one.
This happened to me too quite recently, was really bummed since the phone was going really well for almost 2yrs, turns out it was just lint from my pocket building up in the jack and getting mashed in by the 3.5mm plug. Got a toothpick and pulled it out in a clump, hasn`t missed a beat since. Of course the other problem could be the headphones themselves, try to replicate the issue with another set if you can and if they`re an expensive headphone you can re-terminate them or have an electronics store do it for you!
Hi all,
My headphone socked stopped working properly and was only coming out of one ear so I went online and ordered another one, fitted it and then after a month or so it stopped working too. I complained to them and they sent me a replacement one but this one didn't work from the start. It doesn't even make the kind of 'click' noise that the headphones usually make when clicking into place.
I am thinking to order a new one but I am just wondering, is there anything actually wrong with the headphone sockets or is it just a case of it sliding out of place somewhat or the little spring type connectors being bent down or something.
Has anyone actually just repaired theirs and not ordered a new socket? If so, what did you do?
Thanks

First of all don't buy any other headphones try to lend headphones from friend or family that are working and they can confirm they're work...
next try to clean headphone jack with isopropylealcohol like in this video (before cleaning just pull out battery just for safety, after cleaning give it some time to dry out, it's really important)

and test it and you'll see, if there will be still same problem your jack connector is gone and need repair
