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?

I've tried three different minijack cables and they all seem to have the same issue. I listen to my music on my phone primarily in my car. I don't have a car mount, I'm usually driving by myself so I throw my phone in the passenger seat. I've noticed (especially within the past month) that when the phone is jostled (particularly at the point where the headphone jack is) loud, bursty static sounds through my speakers.
I'm wondering my device's headphone jack has gone bad, or even if this is common at all.
It's not something that's upsetting my terribly as it doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
A few weeks ago I dropped my phone about 6 inches onto a hard metal lamp. When it contacted I heard a loud squeal in the earbuds I was wearing. Now when I use the earbuds the audio files are muted, tinny and filled with static. It sounds like the headphone jack is not inserted all the way – like a hardware issue. The earbuds operate normally otherwise, and all other earbuds I have tested produce the same bad results when inserted into the phone. The files play normally through Bluetooth and speakers, but no matter what headset I use in the audio jack, all audio (music, podcasts, system tones, etc.) is garbled and filled with static.
I have researched the issue and at first thought that I damaged the metal cover around the audio jack because there was a small “chip” right next to the audio jack opening. So, I ended up buying a new metal cover, but that didn’t resolve the issue (nor did just leaving the cover off). I bought a new daughter board with audio jack, but unfortunately the one I received was (I suspect) for the ATT version of the phone since some of the antennas were slightly different. I did, however, install the new daughter board/audio jack for testing purposes, and this, too, did not solve the audio issues! So, I reinstalled the old jack and daughter board. Since then I have reinstalled the phone’s OS (rooted stock 5.0.2 with Sense 6.0) and turned off Beats to see if this would fix things – all to no avail. As far as I can tell, the only thing I haven’t done is install a new motherboard. By the way, the audio jack interfaces normally with the OS as far as sensing the insertion/removal of headsets. I am out of ideas but am posting this to see if anyone has a suggestion.
Couple of issue. Tried couple of pairs of headphones :
1) when I plug the headphones in I get a Hissing sound although it disappears when I turn the screen off
2) The volume is sometimes low or low in one ear. I have to twist the headphones round in the headphone jack until I find a spot where I get full volume
Is this likely a hardware problem with my phone or does it sound like the headphone jack needs cleaning? The phone is refurbished grade a, and I've only had it couple of months (the case also has a headphone socket protector).
Any ideas?
So I have read about Z5P having headphone jack problems. So mine has started to that today. If I pressed on my headphone jack so hard it would detect the headphone but if I relased my finger it would detect that headphone is disconnected which is still connected.
So I reasearched and found out about soundabout and I tested it and it detects my headphones with it. And I also realised that headjack is a bit loose and my plugged in headphones can shake a little bit inside the jack. So I think this is hardware+software problem.
The think is headphone jack is definitely broken but why does it work with soundabout? Oh also if I shake the jack while headphone is connected it will also disconnect from soundabout but that is not bad as without it (at least it works).
I am also using the m-rom light build will that cause a issue?
I guess this phone is totally dead will never ever get support from someone considering the activity on this forum. Looking forward to replacing this piece of crap.

I replaced the headphone port and turned the problem off and then came back again after using the note that I rarely used headphones

A bit late replay but it seems that headphone jack quality on Z5P is just terrible.
My lg after dropping on floor a few days ago. There is no sound in the earpiece, the mic cannot record any sound and the headphone jack does not recognize any earphone. And it cannot connect to bluetooth earphones. The loud speaks still works fine. I have try turning my phone on and off and did factory reset but nothing helps. Can anyone tell me where is the problem and will there be any solution?
