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.

I was listening to music in my car today with my Sprint TP2 hooked up via the 3.5mm audio jack. When I disconnected the phone from the jack, the phone remained in 'headphone mode'. I knew it was in headphone mode still because it displays the little headphone icon on top and I could not hear any audio unless I reconnected the 3.5mm jack. So basically, I can't call anybody from my phone right now unless I hook it up to some speakers via the 3.5mm jack. That or use my BT headset.
Things I have tried to fix the phone;
- Unplugged and replugged in the 3.5mm stereo jack numerous times.*
- Soft reset
- Removed battery for 30 seconds and restarted
- Connected BlueTooth stereo headset and disconnected
* Extra weirdness; Gives me a voice commander error when I reconnect the jack. Voice Commander is not even enabled.
Nothing worked. So I just did a backup of my phone and I'm going to attempt a hard reset. We'll see if that fixes it.
Update: Right after I posted this thread, I tried plugging in several different devices with 3.5mm jacks and the headphone icon disappeared. However, I still did not have any audio. So I did a soft reset and surprise surprise... audio is back!!!
Anybody else encounter this bug? I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware bug, but it's definitely a bug.
guys, do you mean you have already have the 3.5mm specification tp2 ?
i didn't see it yet..
sounds like a hardware issue? especially if the soft reset did not resolve the issue...

Sprint and Verizon versions of TP2 have a integrated 3.5mm jack.
I just had the same problem being stuck in headset mode
I tried a soft reset with no luck so I was pretty sure it was something physically wrong. Instead of plugging my headset all the way back in and taking it out, I used the tip of the plug (like a Q-tip, 1/4 of the way in) to see if there were any sensors or metal still depressed and after a few light sweeps, the headset mode icon disappeared. Keeping my fingers crossed, I didn't use the 3.5mm jack for the rest of the night and I was able to use my headset and removed it without a problem this morning.
Ultimately this is most likely a physical issue, but I'd rather not send my phone in for a replacement (even though this would probably qualify as a manufacturer defect). Hope this helps if anyone experiences this in the future.

It is a hardware issue and is common to most 3.5mm jacks. I had also experienced this last year with my Treo Pro and since I really wanted to know the problem, I opened up my phone and voided all warranties. Inside the 3.5mm jack there's a lever type copper that bends to make contact with another copper metal, some kind of switch that's supposed to connect and disconnect the contact between these 2 metal pieces whenever a head 3.5mm plug is inserted.
What happened is when you disconnected the plug, the metal that's supposed to bend back to it's original position never did. That's why it's permanently stucked in headset mode because the phone thinks the plug is still inside. This probably happens due to age and possibly has something to do with moisture and rust, not to mention that copper is highly malleable.
Sad to say that until now this technology hasn't changed and is still being widely used. Hopefully someone will give this issue a real solution.
I had this problem recently and took a dry q tip and rubbed it back and forth across the little pin on the bottom of the headphone jack until it cleared up the problem.
Does anyone know if a USB to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter works on the CDMA tp2? I'd really like to use regular headphones but don't want to jeopardize getting my phone stuck in headphone mode.

Yes, the USB headphone adapter works on the CDMA versions. If you plug in a second headphone set to the other open port, which ever one was connected lastly will be the one to have sound.
Fixed the problem!
I had to disassemble the phone, voiding the already expired warranty and solder the contacts together on the audio jack. I can't use a 3.5 mm jack anymore, but I can at least use the phone now without always using a bluetooth. I'll get a usb adapter for when I want to listen to music.
Here is a picture of the contacts I soldered. I used a 20 w soldering iron, I wouldn't use anything larger.

i would hate to do this on my vibrant lol, media sound recently gave out on me after unplugging the headphone. this sucks. id look around for replacement parts..til then.. gotta get busy with the q tips til i get it to work.
I got a problem in Audio Jack. when i plug in my headphone , i have to hold it by side to get accurate sound.
also the ticking sound of plugging in is also changed. is there any way to fix it without opening it? i don't have a warranty and don't want to waste it's value by opening it

Even I had the same problem! It was a problem with my headphones not the audio jack!
Sometimes it is not phone or headphone problem. did you push jack hard when you want to plug in? I mean are u sure that the jack is fully plugged in?
I too have had this problem. I've tried two different 'audio jack to audio jack' cables (to plug into the car and a stereo) and they both have this problem. I've tried 3 sets of headphones and only one works okay. The ones that work are the Samsung headphones that came with the phone, which is interesting. They all used to work okay, it's just the last few weeks this has happened.
I've tried pushing them all the way in, but the only thing that works is, if you're looking at the screen, pushing the jack slightly to the right. Does anyone know if there's a simple hardware fix, like tightening something? I've googled this (thought it might be a general problem on other devices) but couldn't find anything.
Odp: Audio Jack problem on Ace 2
I have the same problem Samsung headphones works fine, rest breaks. I think about putting my Ace to guarantee.
I've tried 5 sets of headphones and 2 audio-jack-to-audio-jack cables. The only one that works okay is the Samsung headphones that came with the phone. How can this be? Planned obsolescence? Surely not. Just bad build quality maybe?
If anyone's interested, a short-term fix is a triangular piece of paper placed in the hole before you plug the headphones in. I have to push my jack to the right, so I put the paper on the left. Apparently pieces of drinking straws work and last longer.
Same problem.
Only samsung headphones work. My philips headphones that work on pc and another phones fine don't work on Ace2.

Try to hold jack (heads) right. It work but isn't a solution because is imposible to hold this way more than 1 minute and walk

ive never used the samsung original headphones, bought some from my local pound shop they work ok
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.
When I plug in my headphones to the HTC, it acknowledges that they are plugged in as the headphone symbol shows up but no sound comes when I play a video or a game. These headphones came with the phone too. BUT when I use these same headphones on my iPhone it works perfectly, so I know something is wrong with the HTC, not the headphones. Other headphones also don't work on the HTC. Only the HTC's inbuilt speakers work but no sound from headphones. Do anyone know how to fix this problem?

Could be your headphone jack. It may be possible to replace it yourself, or pay someone to do it for you.
Headphone jack, probably worn out or has crap in it clogging it up. Mine is still working well with headphones but no dice with my car headphone to aux cable. The cable is probably outdated. I have 3rd party headphones that worked well at first but now the microphone is acting up during calls and boomsound "glitches" on and off now and again. Headphones are in good - very good condition but I can't rule out an internal break in the wire.
I would be inclined to say that the m9 has sensitive electronics attached to the headphone jack and any short circuits or voltage/amperage/resistance discrepancies would be picked up to protect the rest of the sound system. Headphone jacks tend to arc too which is why you get a thump in speakers when you connect or disconnect the jack.
Beamed in by telepathy.
My device headphone jack is having a issue that is it's not recognising the headset/earphones plugged in even when it did recognised the audio is very terrible is there any solution for the problem and how much it costs to get a new replacement for the mobile audio jack
Thanks!
Maybe it is just dirty, google audio jack cleaning
