Hello I have a US TA-1045 version of the Nokia 6.1 that I am returning for a replacement. The reason is that my sound will cut out every single time I am using headphones through the 3.5mm plug. The only thing I can do to remedy the problem is removing the headphones and plugging them back in and resuming playback.
Has anybody had this problem? I am really hoping my replacement does not have this same issue.
I have this same issue with my Nokia 6.1 . Let me know how it goes.
Seems the plug is fussy
Two questions:
1. Have you tried a different pair of headphones?
2. Do you have a case on the phone?
If you are using inexpensive headphones the impedance could be less than expected and might cause a problem.
Some cases may not let the headphone plug seat completely in the jack.
This happens to me with the headphones that came with the phone, my other earbuds, and another aux cable.
Haven't had issues with these in other devices

I havnt used other headphones yet. But I dont have 'any' issues when I use the same headphones on several other devices. I do use a case but its small and I dont think it impedes with plug. I can try with the case off but Im sure it wont help. The way the sound goes out is not like it goes in and out. It just cuts out completely and the music keeps playing. Not through the headphones or the speaker, just nothing.
Anyways my replacement does the exact same thing. Im looking at hopefully getting a different phone.

It's Android not the phone from my experience, get a USB C adapter. Alternatively try turning off automatic USB audio routing in developer settings. (Didn't work for me on Oreo but apparently it used to work great in Nougat)This will probably be a slow bug fix as the 3.5 mm jack is dying out. I borrowed someone's pixel 2 xl adapter and it worked great so I ordered one along those lines in standards with reviews backing it up on Amazon.

No, I've only used Spotify so far. But the music cuts out so much I've cut down using it a lot. I would appreciate knowing how the adapter works though. I wouldn't want to buy one unless I knew for sure as I have limited income. Thanks

I used Pandora (paid version) regularly with my Nokia 6.1 (TA-1068), Oreo 8.1.
I have never had a problem using headphones. YMMV.
Does anyone have a link to the spotify / google play issue?
This issue is super annoying - especially because I usually do a lot of dirty work with my phone in my pocket and when the audio cuts out, my hands are too dirty to touch the phone

Link to what? Who knows if Nokia is even aware of the issue. It also happens with other music players unfortunately. I did see some mention of the problem on Nokia 6.1 official forums, but no mention of solutions. Still waiting to hear if a usb C adapter fixes the problem. But I doubt it as this seems to be a software issue.

Sorry for not getting back to you. I only had it for a day and lost it but I do not recommend the adapter. It would randomly have loud static that I did not have with the pixel 2 xl adapter I borrowed. However I have been using the jack and it seems to cut out less frequently now. I am probably going to just use Bluetooth from now on.

Ok thank you!
Ok I think I accidentally fixed the issue. It's caused by the setting option that allows you to raise your phone to your face and the screen comes on allowing you to see notifications. It's called "Lift to check your phone" option in settings. Turn this feature off. Haven't had the issue since.

Saw a similar post involving aux cables. However when I plug in headphones I am noticing the headphone notification staying on for three seconds then going off..... And guess what no music only coming out of speakers!!
Anyone else having this issue
I have been having the same issue trying to use a Pressy. The phone recognizes it for a short duration, and then the symbol disappears and it ceases to work. It's almost always in the 3-20 seconds range.
OK update: tried with different headphones and it works... Seems the g3 is fussy about what cables it takes.
Quick update. The headphones i used today worked perfectly with no sound issues at all. Sound quality was good using beats audio installer

Can you get that from the play store? also are you rooted?
I am having issues with my headphones.
When I listen to music and twist my pin in the jack my G3 does all kind of things!
From shutting the music off, skipping tracks to activating some kind of voice control...
I tested the same thing with the headset that comes with the G3 and everythings fine.
In the Aux issue thread no one has problems with their headphones...
My guess is that it is due to the 3.5 pin because the headsets are split in 4 parts and normal headphones only in 3 with these small plastic rings
Does anyone share the same issue?

I think it has something to do with the length of the jack. I notice if the jack has a rim at the end it will have random issues. The stock LG jack has no rim?

I had this problem and found the problem is the male earphone pin on most headsets has a shoulder on it the LG female no likie. if you look at original LG male pin you see no shoulder on the shank. Try find one without shoulder and earphone will work all day.

I had the same issue with my new sony earbuds i bought yesterday, it seems until LG fix it, we need to use the stock earbuds (I like them anyway)
Anyone getting a systemUI crash until I remove the headphones. I am rooted and did have Xposed installed along with Viper Audio. I have since removed all mods and am back to stock rooted but with no improvement. The only thing I don't think I've tried is unrooting. Any ideas out there?
*Edit:*
Just so those who just joined in this converstation don't get too dragged into it, I've resolved this issue simply by buying what is called a ground loop noise isolator adapter. It's main purpose is to remove the static and whining noise you hear from your speakers when you plug your phone to the car charger while connected to the speakers. But at the same time, it is keeping the signal from the aux cable of your car on "hot" so that when you plug in the phone, the phone immediately picks up the aux signal and stays connected. I basically killed two birds with one stone by getting the adapter. Here is the adapter I purchased:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001EAQTRI
I will make it clear here that this aux connectivity problem has nothing to do with how cheap or expensive your aux cable is. You can use the most expensive cable or the cheapest penny cable out there and if the problem exists between your phone and your car's aux, then it won't resolve it. Either change your car's head unit (which is a stupid thing to do) or simply get the adapter. Don't return the phone over this problem, its just a dumb move. The phone is amazing. LG will have a patch for it or someone will make a ROM that tackles the problem.
*end edit*
Hello all,
was wondering if anyone else with the G3 (not sure if it matters, but I have the 851 variant) is having a hard time getting their phone working with the audio jack coming from their car. I drive a 2007 Scion tC and never had any problem of weird issues connecting any of my previous phones (Moto Atrix 4G, LG Nitro HD, GSIII, Nexus 5 just to name a few) to the audio jack in my car. I'll just plug it in and it connects just fine.
But for some odd reason, the G3 is having tons of issues. When I plug in the audio jack to the phone, I see the audio jack icon pop up up top next to the clock, but then some times it will just disappear on its own. Other times, it will stay there, but when I play a media, may it be music, or video from any app, the sound will play out of the speaker on the phone and not the car speakers. Unplugging it while the media is playing and replugging it again will not change anything, but if I stop the media playback, unplug it and then plug it back in, and the icon reappears and then I tap play immediately, the audio will then come out from the car speakers. Some times I have to do this multiple times to finally get it to work.
The strangest thing is, this does not happen if I plug anything else to the G3, such as a headset or an external speaker or any other devices, only in my car. It even works fine in any other car as far as I know. I've tried different audio cables in my car but it still does the same thing, so it doesn't seem to be the cable.
Is there some kind of sensor in the phone that detects connectivity of the phone to another device? I realize that when I plug in the phone to my car, the car speakers makes a couple of whining noises before it goes quiet, sort of sending or receiving a signal from the phone.
Can anybody please help me? I want to say that the phone is defective, but I can't proof so since it works just fine with any other devices. Could it be the head unit in my car is incompatible with the phone? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks bfranklin, I didn't realize there was another thread about it. Wish all the G3 are under the same group.
I noticed i get some crackling feedback when i hit play on a track.. but then it works fine and even with moving the aux jack it doesn't keep cracking... just on initial play/loading of the music player

That was my trick initially but eventually even that didn't work. Someone mentioned to try plugging in a charger first and then plug in the aux cable and that worked. But now I bought a ground loop noise isolator and that has resolved the problem completely. I also don't get so much popping noise and no whining noise when I charge the phone while the car is running. Here's what I bought:

If you use low quality Audio cables like Monster sells it will be higher resistance than a quality cable and should register without issue. The phone struggles with discovering the connection.

I'm gonna disagree here bc I'm using a cable from a Wal-Mart discount bin, which is I'm thinking the cheapest kind available, and it doesn't work right.

I was not saying that. If you use Griffen cable at 14 . or monster cable at 20. Or rocketfish at 18. They all work the same. Just not buying that it is a cable issue. Hardware more like it. I actually just order a eBay cable for .99 cents to prove this totally wrong.
This has nothing to do with cables. I literally tried over 6 different cables and nothing worked between my phone and my car's aux port. Yet I used the same cables in my friend's car (old Nissan sentra) that has an aux port and they all worked fine with the phone. Also used a cassette aux adapter kit in my gf's sister's old SUV and it works fine with it.
This is purely hardware compatibility issue. Some head unit's aux port stays hot at all times, others don't. Some probably reacts faster than others and connects immediately so the phone doesn't drop connectivity before engaging. Again, like I've mentioned, you can either circumvent the issue by using the "charge phone first then plug in aux cable" trick, or simply buy a ground loop isolator adapter which keeps the connection hot. LG will fix the problem eventually. It was an annoyance, but a minor one, and i can't be any happier with this phone despite of the connection issue.

I got a brand new pair of earbuds (Brainwavz Delta something) and plugged them into my HTC 10.. they work fine for a bit then if I move the phone just right (or sometimes do nothing) the music stops, there's no longer a headphone icon in the status bar, and I have to unplug and plug them back in.. any idea what this may be caused by?
My Xiaomi Piston 3s worked fine with it, they just died in one ear :/
Edit** the headphones work fine with my Nexus 7, so it's not an issue of compatibility... unless the fact that it's a 3-ring plug (which should be fine, so were the pistons)
Same issue with headphone jack
I was using a pair of Fischer Audio Consonance Pro IEM's on my M8 and now 10 and experiencing the same issues. Songs skipping all over the place, starting, pausing, the OK Google app starting up and saying it couldn't hear what I said, or picking up something from what I am listening to. It is maddening. I love this phone so far, but this issue will drive me crazy if I can't be easily fixed.
It's as if the jack/plug is coming loose, since it fails to recognize the headphones until I unplug it and replug. It's very annoying, and seems to happen only if I tip the phone just the right way :/ hope it's not a hardware defect...
I have a feeling this is because of the edges, if you look at the headphones Jack it isn't flush the edge goes in a little thus you don't get 100% covered 3.5m lead.
Does seem worse in some headphones though

Not really, the best way would be to get a very small 3.5m extension cable, one that isn't so sensitive,but you would only find out through trial and error. Or buy another set of headphones. For example my bose qc25 aren't to bad but a cheap sony set I have if I move abit they crackle.
Is the one bit of design htc messed up. If they would of moved it a few mm to the front and problem solved.
Surprised more people aren't moaning about it as one big points is the 24 bit audio.
Can we confirm that this is an issue across all HTC 10's and not just an unlucky few? I thought my phone might've been defected. 2 Beats headphones I have (got both as gifts) do not seem to work properly. But if I use other a plantronics headset I have, works just dandy. I'm afraid to buy any headphones not knowing which would or wouldn't work. This is not a good thing at all.
I have a Sol republic headphone with mic integrated and doesn't work properly on mine either. However, a friend of mine has a sol republic headphone too, and it works. I bought a panasonic tcm 125 and it works really well.. so IDK, I'm going to change the cable on my sol rep to see if that fix the problem.
Might be headphones with integrated control/mic which has the extra ring :/
Question: when does the issue happen for everyone else? Mine almost always acts up when I turn the screen off, maybe that has something to do with it
I can confirm this is NOT a wide spread issue, I even dropped my phone, not low enough to hang on the cord but enough movement to yank on it, I have messed with it, played around to see if I can make it have an issue, but no issue exists, its either an unlucky few or your headphones.
The only issue I have not related to this is my headphones I tested, the "Audio Technica ATH-M50" jack is too big to fit in the headphone jack while my phone has its case on (Spigen Neo Hybrid Crystal), taking the case off solves it, just barely not big enough cut out on the case for that model of headphones, regardless they don't sound as good as my IEM's so F em! lol
Have you guys tried other headphones or AUX cords? I don't have this issue anywhere, not via Headphones, not at my work on are speaker system, and not in my car via AUX.
So the actual shape or design of the headphone jack it self is NOT flawed like I noticed some have speculated.
I've been using my m50x or bose qc20's. Both work fine with no issues.
Pretty sure it's headphones with integrated controls for Apple devices that don't work. My jbl reflects which I use for running (3 rings) don't work if pushed all the way in. But my bose sound true work just fine. And the bose just so happen to be made for samsung and android devices. If I had some apple earpods around I'd test it but I'm thinking it's just headphones with integrated controls exclusively for Apple that might have issues.

Hmmm you're right. My sisters htc 10 seemingly all headphones just do not to work. Might be a small batch issue. I'm thinking about exchanging out for another one because I have the yellow band issue on the bottom of the screen anyways. Really don't want to play the exchange game like I did with the nexus 6p especially since HTC doesn't have the same support Google does. Gonna exchange if I get a bad one twice I'm just returning this phone all together. Hate to see it go because this phone is gorgeous.

Ah I have the unlocked model and I modded it to use on Verizon. I had no problem replacing phones through verizon though. Switched out my s6 edge 4 times for free due to display and speaker issues. Of course you end up getting their certified like new device which may or may not bother you. But if it doesn't you can just go to a corporate store and show them some headphones won't work. Most likely they'll ship you one free of charge.

I'm not a huge fan of Verizon anyway.. parents are just too afraid to lose the coverage (T-Mobile is top of my list but they're not so convinced)
I accidentally whacked my headphone jack very lightly with the tip of my finger and now my headphones seem to randomly disconnect. It works fine with my aux cable, but with my headphones with a mic it seems this happens.
Hello,
So I have my Zenfone 2 since some months now and since the start, my phone has a problem:
When I plug earphones or headphones, there's a static noise on the left earphone (or on the left side of the headphone).
I contacted Asus, they told me to update my firmware, which I did (I even updated to MM today), but it didn't fix the issue. So they told me to RMA it.
I'm just posting this to know if someone here got the same problem and if he fixed it. I saw a post on a forum which said to deactivate every single sound (notification, etc) and only activate multimedia sounds. For some reason, it worked, and I didn't ear the static noise again but some days later. I tried to do this operation again but it doesn't seem to work.
Thanks for your help,
Best regards,
Have you tried cleaning your jack input?

I thought of that but I don't really know how to do to be honest, I don't wanna break anything. How should I do it? Should I wet the tip of a cotton swab and "polish" the jack input?
Thanks for your reply!

Hello!
I tried to see if there was some dust in it but couldn't find anything. I, however, used the pin but the problem still persists
I noticed that when I was plugging in my earphone, if I plug in "at the middle" of the jack, there will be sound on the left earphone but not on the right. If I plug it in completely (when you hear the "click" sound), then there'll be sound on the right but not on the left earphone, like I first said on the first post. Maybe this can help you.. I'd like to not send it but if I really have to, I will ._.
Thanks for your help.
Have you tried another headphones?

Yeah, I've tried 3 different headphones but the problem still persists.
You can clean it with a compressed air can, the kind that is used to clean computers. I have one at home to clean my keyboard from tieme to time and have also used it to clean the headphone jack, since it doesn't use any liquid. You can get one at the local computer store or online from Amazon and similar sites

Hello,
Fortunately, I had a compressed air can at home. I tried to clean it with that but the problem is still here
Thanks for your help though, I really appreciate it.
So I "resolved" my problem.
Since I think my jack is broken, I bought this on Amazon. So I did a little setup so I can properly hear music/sounds:
I have a Logitech G430. When I want to listen to music on my phone, I plug my earphones on the G430 adapter, then I plug the USB cable into the USB-microUSB adapter I just bought, and I plug the microUSB cable to my phone. And it works perfectly!
Some may say It's a pretty rough setup, but for me, as long as it works, that's perfect.
Thanks for your help!

I'm sure a pair of cheap BT headphones is cheaper than that setup. Anyway, if you want to keep using your 3.5mm headphones (I would since mine are very nice and were expensive) you can also try a 3.5 to BT adapter, which is also a cheap and nice option. Music through BT is usually of less quality than through the audio jack, but it¡s better than nothing and you don't need so many cables.
Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UUDZSKE
That one is $19, but you can probably get a cheaper one from a Chinese store such as Dealextreme, GearBest, etc. I have one which I got on eBay years ago and I think it was worth something around €10
So I've been using my tablet in the car to watch Netflix and Amazon Prime videos during various appointments for my wife and kids. Has worked great with headphones, but figured it would be even better with my car's audio system. So I ordered a decent quality aux cable off Amazon, a 2-pack actually, but it doesn't work! I get really heavy static with the audio barely audible in the background. It also only plays out of the left channel. Tried the other cable with the same result. Plugged that cable into my Galaxy S9 and it worked perfectly.
I've searched around for the past half hour with no luck. Seems some fixed similar issues with other Samsung devices by turning on the UHQ upscaler, or by holding Vol+ while cycling the power, but neither worked for me.
Any thoughts?

Sounds like a faulty jack have you tried twisting the jack ? As sometimes that clears the static ? if not then you will need to get your Tab S4 replaced via Samsung!
I did rotate the plug, but it didn't resolve the issue. I don't think the jack is faulty, though, since headphones work perfectly. Thank you for your response, though.

interesting have you counted the rings on the headphone and your car aux jack ? Do they line up ??? Just a thought!
I haven't, but I actually have a 3-ring adapter. I'll give that a try, thanks for the idea!
I may be totally off but...
I have been using an MP3 player (Archos Jukebox Recorder) in my car for years. Recently I thought to go modern and downloaded some music on my Samsung A3 (2017) phone. Connected the cable... and all I got was a lot of static noise with hardly audible (and bearable) music.
Of course, the MP3 player using the same cable still plays ok. Anything plugged into the A3 also plays fine.
I haven't yet sorted out what could have been the problem but it sounds awfully like yours.
Sure does!

I have a Prius that has a built-in system. I connect using a vanilla cable with 3.5mm jack stereo connectors.

Cables make a huge difference getting a cheaper cable often out preforms the pricey one! (That's no joke) Disconnecting the FM/AM radio cable gets rid of the static (Here in the UK that has done trick in the past) Also can you try switching over the plugs on the back of your head unit right into left, and left into right. Vice versa see if that fix it ?

The 3-ring adapter didn't fix it. Bummed... I was hopeful.

Switched the cable and the static seems gone... Strange that the Archos didn't have this problem. But I needed to increase the volume to a surprisingly high level[*] to get a decent sound.
[*] Radio plays on 15-20, CD 30-40, Archos 30-40, A3 way beyond 50.
