Headphone Jack Problem

[rkiels]

Has anyone else had any problems with their headphone jack? Mine has been working perfectly well until this morning. I don't have Bluetooth in my truck so I almost always am listening to podcasts or audible via a 3.5mm cable. I drove to a job this morning, did what I needed to do, then got back in the truck and all of a sudden everything is coming out of my external speaker. Tried a soft reset, nope; tried a hard reset (ugh), nope. I've since been on the phone with Amazon and am getting a replacement but was wondering if anyone else has observed the same. I couldn't find anything after a quick search in the sticky thread about defects.

Haven't had any issues myself and I used the headphone jack daily. Sorry about your luck =/

Maybe try another set of headphones?

It's done it again! After getting a new phone, admittedly this one lasted a bit longer, everything was going swimmingly for one trip, I get back in the truck for another and again I can only get sound from the external speaker! It continues even with the headphone jack in as if it wasn't. Man, this is frustrating!

have you tried other headphones? is it just the 1 cord its not working with?

I had a problem where the phone wouldn't function with corded headphones with an inline remote and mic. It wouldn't respond to input from the buttons or recognize that the headset had a mic

You can get a portable Bluetooth receiver adapter to give your van Bluetooth capability. I use a Samsung HS3000 to do this.

I have the exact same problem. First with my wife's 1020, then with my 1520. After using the headphone jack, one can only hear calls by pressing the "Speaker" key. What I can see, from inspecting the jack, one of the conductors gets stuck. After using a paper clip to bend the connector back into place, everything goes back to normal. On the 1020, it first occurred with a generic 3.5mm extension cable for used in my car, and on the 1520, it first occurred with a pair of headphones using a Canare F-12 connector. It now happens with any headphone plug. Its simply a flaw in the design of the jack. I use to be the service manager of a hifi retail store for over 10 years and have never seen something like this. I no longer use the headphone jack, or I keep a paper clip in my wallet if I think I may be willing to risk it. My 1520 is still under warranty, but having Nokia fix or exchange it won't change the problem.

I have a Nokia 1520 which has been working great until today. If you plug in the headphones, the music still plays through the phone speaker and no sound from the headphones. I've tried different headphones that have worked in the past, but the results are the same.

I swear I think every Lumia phone has headphone jack issues. I had to replace my 928 after 3 weeks because of it, and my Ickn has had the issue once even though I've never plugged in headphones. I now use BT exclusively to avoid running into it again.

I had a problem with my old phone, and the headphones Jack. The problem turned out to be pocket lint. Lint got into the headphone jack and it was preventing the headphones from clicking properly into place. They looked like they were seated all the way in, buy they were out just enough to cause problems.
So for any headphone problems I always suggest for people to check the hole to make sure it's clean. Also since that I always make sure to put my phone into my pocket headphone jack up...

Has anyone found a fix for this? :'(

When the Icon first came out I had this problem... The lady at the Microsoft store swapped it out for me and said that a decent amount of the head phone jacks were defective on the icons

Yes, Common problem. All phones are susceptible to it as well. You can use a small round *wooden* toothpick to gently loosen any compacted material and also use some canned air - sprayed from a distance - not too close and directly into the port.

Not to say that there may truly be an issue with the Icon's headphone port - but this is an easy step to take.

I do have the same problem with the headphone port and also with the usb connection issues, basically a faulty micro usb port . It sucks, ports are poorly made.

Hi i m lokesh
i am using nokia lumia 1320 mobile. i am getting a problem with a audio jock

 

[KobeyFenty]

I solved my problem by first placing my mouth by the headset and inhaling so that whats ever in it can come out. the smallest piece of lent can mess up your headphone set. but it did WORK!!

I have noticed that the audio jack on my Icon takes a lot of pressure to fully engage, could this be the problem?
