Wiggly headphone jack - LG G7 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Is it normal that the headphone jack is a bit wiggly, can wiggle a little bit up, down, left, right... Headphones still click a bit harder than on another phones, and are harder to remove, but when inside it seems to wiggle a little bit... Sound is working normally (although audio seems a bit on the left side (very, very slightly, I don't know is it my imagination or what, I don't know is it actually more on the left, but right side adds some weirdness to the sound and my ears feel clogged after listening), but I have a cold so I don't know is it me or electronics) , I am just worried is this a normal thing...

Mine is same but sound is normal. So i don't care about it.

I think its the male connector. I have TRN V80 IEM and it wiggles so i went to showroom and I connected the IEM to demo G7 unit and it still wiggled. But all of my other earphones are fit. So i think its the male connector.

3.5MM plugin damaged?

Hello,
When I plugin my earphones in the 3.5MM jack of my DHD it makes a weird noise, I think that's normal it because it means that it is connecten I think. It's like the oldschool televisions when you have no reception it makes a weird sound 'BGGGG' like but this doesn't even last a half second. BUT if I play a little bit//when I my jack is in, and I spin it a little bit, you hear it sometimes again.
I was wondering, is it broken or a defect or is it normal that if you spin with the plugout of your headphones that it sometimes makes a weird sound? It doesn't really bother me or sometimes when I am listing to music but I am a little bit scared that it is defect
Thank you!
When you plug it in the noise your describing is normal but only then should that noise be heard for a split second.
Maybe it's you headphone 3.5mm jack end that is the problem or wires. Try with different headphones and see if they make the same sound.
I just tried this now and I get no extra weird noise when I rotate the plug.

Fix Sennheiser HD205

I was handed down a pair of Sennheiser HD205 headphones. I had used them a few times before and they sound awesome! However, since I got them they make my music sound weird. For example, sometimes it turns every song into an instrumental version or it is really soft and will get really loud if you jiggle the cord right.
I cut off the jack and found 4 wires inside. 2 copper wires, 1 copper wire painted blue and another copper wire painted red. I removed the paint using acetone nail polish remover and fine sandpaper. Now that I have the exposed wires, I connected them in a new 3.5mm jack from radio shack. I think the colored wires are + and the unpainted copper wires are -. Note these wires are actually bunches of wires with tiny radiuses.
Sadly, when I connect the wires in I still have the distortion problems. It mostly has to do with losing the vocals. If I move the balance on my computer to all right or all left it will sound perfect. If I also connect the former red bundle to the ground of the 3.5mm and the former blue to either the L or R I can get mono.
I am thinking of cutting the wire higher and repeating the acetone procedure and rewiring again. Will that work because I don't want to keep cutting and cutting and eventually cut the whole wire to small pieces!
Your help is greatly needed and most appreciated. I really think these headphones will complement the voodoo sound on my I9000 nicely

Balancing audio?
I know this is probably a bit late. But i had a similar problem. My Sennheiser HD205 Headphones Started acting weird. They have an excellent sound of them and are really comfortable for someone like me who would wear them for a long period of time. Recently I had to get the cable fixed that went into the actual headphones because if they moved ever so slighty all sound was gone. I got them fixed and then the sound went weird the next day, when ever I played a song with a heavy bass, once the bass part came on the whole song was muted until it stopped and the vocals were distorted, then I was playing around with the sound settings on my computer and i noticed the audio balance was a bit off then usual (Left=78 and Right=78) so I brought them back down to 50:50 and it was all better . I thought maybe you should try that, seeing as nobody else left a suggestion! (If you dont know where to find the sound setting on your comp, go to: Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Sound, and a window should pop up. right click on the speaker output you use (its called Speaker by default) and click properties then click on the tab properties and balance it to 50% on both sides) NOTE: Make shure your not playing any music (eg. Itunes) while your doing this. it MAY stop the program from working! Good Luck!

Hello,
I had the same problem. Unlike most headphones, the Sennheiser HD205 uses two separate ground wires, these are the two uncolored wires. The red one is for the right (the pin that's closer to the middle) the blue one is for the left (the pin that's further from the middle). The colorless wires both go to the ground pin.
I connected them this way, now I don't have any distortion, and I can hear the vocals loud and clear on both sides.
Sounds like you don't have ground connected to the signal source (jack).
If the jack has 3 connectors (tip + 2 sleeves) the wires go like this: tip - blue, first sleeve - red, second sleeve (furthest from the tip) - ground (usually golden).
Try an connect the two sides separately and check if they work individually. Only then connect them both. If the cable doesn't have any shor circuits it should work just fine.
Good luck!

headphone jack problem star n9800

I've had Samsung's in the past but decided to take a chance to buy the above phone due to cost saving.
The supplied earphones work perfectly though they are bigger than the bud type supplied with galaxy phones so they hurt my ears after a short period.
I've tried plugging in my old and a new set of Samsung headphones but they at first make a deep buzzing sound with low sound coming through, after moving jack around and pulling out a bit the sound works but as soon as I let go the sound goes back to buzzing again.
After inspecting the jack plugs I noticed that they are quite different, one is bigger than the other and the rubber rings are in differing points - until now I never new that jack sizes were different. I've attached a picture of them together (gold are Samsung)
my question is can I get a pair of bud type headphones with the larger plug? if so what do I look for?
I thought I'd ask hear before considering Bluetooth headsets.
thanks in advance.
same problem
I got the exact same problem and also discovered that if you remove the case, the smaller headphone jack will fit. Although this is not a solution. Sometimes i just loosen up the case a little on the area of the headphone jack so that it does fit. I'm looking foor a bigger jack now too.

Only getting sound through one headphone

Happened to me earlier today, only getting volume through the left headphone with my apple EarPods. The port seems a little loose, I can spin the cable around and they always come out by accident. I just tried with some bigger sony over-ear headphones and they work fine.. but I am not using them for outside use.
Any advice or tips or am I boned? I listen to podcasts every day for a few hours so this is a bummer.
Look for dirt in the jack port. Try carefully to clean it out, may a toothpick will help you

Speaker issue after screen replacement

Hello, I have replaced the screen and housing on my LG Nexus 5x which went OK.
However, I now have no audio from the loud speaker under certain situations. I have replaced the earpiece (I now don't think this was anything to do with it) and headphone jack to no avail but have narrowed it down to the lower back plate (the bit you screw in over the headphone jack). Sounds through the headphones work correctly BTW.
When the back is pressed on very lightly the speaker works. (so the pogo pins connect to the cover/speaker). However, when you click the plastic on speaker cuts out. My guess is something gets pushed in too far so something either loses contact or makes contact that shouldn't.
Any thoughts/ideas most welcome. I've made a little video to illustrate what I mean: drive.google dot com /file/d/1CU37Fvrq2NfL6WKNS0sn0ssw_3s-BWx1/view
same here after battery replacement
Although i have purchased a new speaker still no sound out of it.
pressing the back did not work on either part.
