Hi guys I bought this new headphone RC-E160 made by HTC some 2 months ago and now the right speaker has stopped working just like the headphones bundled with HTC. Has anybody encountered similar problems with their headphones, is it possible to fix it
Probably a faulty wire. It can be fixed, but because you are asking this question, I can assume you do have the knowledge and the required materials.

Well, I have the same problem with my old headphones. One speaker doesn't work. I found out that there is something wrong with phone's jack connector. When I press the headphones into the phone (I have to use a lot of strenght..), it works, but when I stop pressing the headphones into the phone, it moves a little bit, and the contact between phone and headphones is lost.
My waranty is void because of root, so I decided to buy a bluetooth headphones, does anyone have any experience with it?
That was my exact problem also! Try shaving a Q - Tip and lightly dip it in rubbing alcohol and give it a swab, it worked for me being an old phone I just figured dust build up, also I switched to a pair of Marley headphones that claim wont break and the jack is quite strong, still got my WFS even though I recently upgraded to gnex. Hopefully that helps, if not I'd say replace it, use amazon for ANY cell phone replacement parts you need and YouTube for several tutorial videos!

Hey everyone,
My headphone jack is being problematic, the left channel tends to drop out depending on the rotation of the plug.
Does anyone know where to source a new one from? There isn't much on eBay.
Cheers.
Hey there,
I've got exactly the same problem here and replaced the main flex cable by yesterday (to fix another screen issue), so i thought "why not replace the audio jack as well?"...
Looking for a replacement I found this:
... YouTube Video "How to clean out your iPhone headphone jack "
(sry, can't post links or vids.)
For now I only tried the tape-method... and wow! it is already much better!
I'll keep on cleaning and feedback what improvement I finally have reached.
Greets,
z0rn
I have tried the cotton bed method and it seems better...
Cheers for the link.
hey all, I know there is quite a few threads about the broken headphone jack issue, my left earbud wouldn't work in my phone but worked in my laptop, iPod etc.. so I ordered the replacement part and replaced it... yet the left earbud still doesn't work.. Anyone know what the issue could be or do I just have a loose wire maybe?
Thank you for any help.
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
I had the phone in my pocket with the headphone jack stick out while doing a job, must have bent over too far and caused the jack to come loose or something inside. At first sound would start going off intermittently, but now I'm only getting sound from 1 earbud - I have a few spare Nexus 5 jacks - are they the same as the N5X ones? I've already bought a replacement N5X jack from ebay anyway because I don't want to have to open the phone up more than once. Anyone else had issues with the jack?
I just hope a simple replacement of the port will fix it.
I replaced the ones on my Nexus 5 a couple times (aswell as swapping the whole PCBs over to a new screen etc, so i'm not afraid of opening it up, the internals look pretty much identical looking at this guide here: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nexus+5+Headphone+Jack+Replacement/73195
Thanks in advance.
