My headphone jack on my tablet is shorting out. I can only get audio if I wiggle my headphone cable. Is there a way to fix this? Or does anyone know if it's possible to change the jack all together? I was wondering where I can find a part.

I had this problem on my phone, and it was the same with my old walkman headphones, yet they worked fine on the PC. I bought new headphones and they work perfectly. So not quite sure exactly, maybe the socket on my phone is a little loose, and on my old headphones the metal on the jack plug had worn down enough to cause problems. So maybe different headphones might be your answer.
I notice that when i charge my phone and i out on my headphone there is a wierd noise. Is there a fix for this?
Lately it is very hard to hear anyone during a phone call through the receiver. Oddly, the sound seems to be coming out of the headphone jack (with nothing plugged into it). I'm trying to figure out if the internal speaker got bent somehow or did the receiver grill suddenly clog? It perhaps dine other options. Any advice?
Anyone replace their headphone jack, and if so, where did you get the replacement from?
Apparently the G4 has an awesome setup where the jack is not soldered down, but instead uses spring-loaded contacts on a headphone jack module, so you can swap it out very easily.
My phone sometime mis-identifies a headphone as a mic+headset and immediately launches the LG voice recognition app. Pretty annoying. I think it's a hardware issue with the jack acting up, and want to swap out a new one.
Hello KingFatty, exactly, LG G4 earphone jack or even the whole device is easily to swap out. One of the reason I love to repair LG G series devices is that they're easily to take apart and reassemble. BTW, you can find the g4 earphone jack replacement here: http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-g4-vs986-earphone-jack.html

Hi KingFatty, did you figure out if swapping the audio jack solved your issue? I'm having the same problem (mis-identifying a mic+headset, or even not identifying anything at all), but I was curious about your experience before touching the hardware.
My USB jack has ceased to work after replacing the headphone jack. The headphone jack, ironically, works great now. How do I fix this?
