Hello
Few days ago, listening to the music through an AUX wire in my car, my capacitor amplifier burnt. Unfortunately, since then my phone Motorola Atrix HD plays differently. While listening to songs it sounds like sound coming from the well, in others you can't hear the vocal and the bass, in others only bass and predominance of high tones. Does anyone know what might have happened? Through speakers it plays completely fine, the speaker when on the phone also fine. The main problem is when it comes to listening to the music while the headphones are wired through the Jack cable. I'll appreciate any ideas/advices.

It may be the same issue I've before. Try this: Get a toothpick and a flashlight - use the toothpick to scrape the bottom of your headphone jack. There is a small circular indent at the bottom that collects dust and lint. Once the debris is loosened, blow into the hole the expel it. Even a very small amount of debris can cause this issue. Be careful not to bend the metal contacts on the inside of the jack. I fixed mine this way one month ago (after foolishly ordering a new headphone jack from eBay - haha)

Hi, I actually just had the same headphone jack issue with my atrix hd (mb886) today! So basically mine was dropping the aux connection at the slightest moves/bumps while driving. Today however, the phone stopped recognizing the aux connected to the headphone jack all together. So basically, I searched online and concluded it was a hardware issue that has kits to replace. So tonight carelessly messing with the headphone jack, I stuck a small t5 screwdriver into the jack and fiddle it slightly. I believe what happened is there is a metal contact piece at the bottom of the jack that touches the metal end piece of the aux cable. So I slightly (very slightly) pried this metal piece back up using the screwdriver.... tried using my headphones and woolah the phone recognized it perfectly! Didn't see any debris fall out of the headphone btw..so I'm leaning toward a connectivity issue.

Now that I think about it, I did try adjusting the contacts too, but it didn't work until I saw the debris fall out. I haven't had a problem since. My issue began right after a snowboard bail into a snow bank - phone first. Lol

I just had the same problem again this morning. And this is what I pulled out of my headphone jack with a toothpick. Working fine now

I have had problems with the headphone jack on my Captivate. The sound is incredibly quiet on the right side. I have tried multiple headphones and even reset my phone, all with no luck. It all happened a little after updating to 2.2. Today, i noticed something odd: the right side will work when using externally powered headphones (in my case, an Xbox 360 gaming headset, Turtle Beach X11). Can someone help me figure out whats wrong? it has never been dropped or gotten wet.
It might be the headphones and not the jack. Do you have another pair that you can test with?
I have tried it with
Skullcandy 50/50
OEM Samsung headphones
Sony MDJR10
Rocketfish buds
RCA buds
All don't work.
Turtle beach X11 x360 headset is the only one that works, they ate externally powered through USB
Did you use compressed air to clean out the Jack? Pocket lint/ dust can get in there... If you can see a lint ball then take a paper clip and bend the tip with needle nose pliers, use the hook you made by bending the tip to get the lintball out
Your welcome
Now you say/press thanks
Teaching manners one person at a time
Did not help, thanks anyways
Picked up the HTC Vivid yesterday, came from the Galaxy SII(gave to fiance) has anyone else noticed a problem with the headphone jack in that you have the really PRESS the headphone jack in, then if you just slightly twist the connector it will tell the device you've disconnected the head phones and disables the music?
This has happened with multiple headphones and is a major downer for me as I am very active when I have my headphones in, mostly this will become a problem while riding my motorcycle to work.
How are your headphone jacks????
Mine works fine. I'd say get a replacement...

I've had my Vivid since launch and haven't noticed any issues with the headphone jack yet. You might take it back to the store, compare against the floor model, and if yours definitely has an issue then show the AT&T employee and they should swap you out for a new one.
I have a specific pair of headphones that goes in the jack very easily until the last bit, then I have to push pretty hard.
I have not experienced any disconnect when twisting the connector so far. That would seem to be a hardware problem worthy of a return.
ok, I'm slightly relieved by this, I will drop by a store on the way home to check it out. Thanks all!
yea.. mine also seems very tight when i was testing the FM radio.. luckily i never use headphones so i dont really care.
my headphone jack has problem, gonna see about a replacement
otherwise, its an awesome phone, very similar to evo3d/4g with the obvious differences.
My headphone jack is very tight. Love that factor. I use standard iPhone headsets. It seems to hold the headset in tight so as to not lose connect unless it is wanted.
Tightness with HTC earphones
I'm using the earphones that came with my HTC HD2. While testing the Vivid FM radio, I realized I was getting sound in only one earphone. I pushed on the plug and suddenly got sound in the other. I removed the earphones and re-inserted them. I could definitely tell an initial stop and then a second audible click when it went all the way in.
checked 4 different display models in 2 different stores, and had a guy go through a half dozen new phones in the box and all of them had headphone jack problems.
For what it's worth, I've discovered different headphones make the difference.
My Sennheiser canal earbuds disconnect easily if I'm not careful. My Phillips wrap-arounds are rock solid on the same phone.
Tested with my wife's Vivid and had the same results.

I have exactly the same result, have 3 headphones and one of them getting pulled out a bit easily, while other 2 works perfectly fine.
Gotta say, this is getting a little frustrating. Who's got a decent pair of canal earbuds that they like AND that don't disconnect and stop my music every time I put my phone back in my jacket pocket.
This is a little stupid really. I'm not using cheap headphones, and I don't have any problems with any other phone, my nook tablet, etc. A crap headphone jack on a phone like this is highly disappointing.
I have some house of Marley jammin buds and some Skullcandy FMJs that work fine. Only ones I have had trouble with are the blackberry ones.

Mine has the same issue. I do remember that my son's HTS came with headphones but they were the kind with the microphone and had 4 contacts on the connector instead of 3 that a regular set of headphones have. I will come home and will try my son's headphones to see if that is the reason.
Headphone jacks should be a known technology. I've used my Sennheiser headphones in a ton of devices, and never had an issue till my brand new phone.
That being said, yes, the phone has the ability to take an extended jack for microphone compatibility, so I ordered a well reviewed cheap pair of phones that happened to be on sale today for half off and include the in-line microphone. ($10 bucks, yes indeed!)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826735013
Just be sure to order today and use the promo code. I'll post once I have them how they stack up and if I still see the disconnect issue.
What I've noticed is that when you twist the headphone jack, it'll come out a little bit. The headphones with shorter jacks that are almost completely concealed in the phone will stay connected still, because it won't pop out far enough. The headphones with jacks that are slightly larger disconnect more easily, since more of it sticks out. Not really sure if that's just coincidence or not, but it's just what I've been seeing.
Have some problem here with my Shure headphones. The quick and easy fix that seem to work well for me is to use a different (short) extension cable that snaps in well to the jack...
...having said that, still sux to have paid $200 for a high-end phone and get such a crappy jack.
Count me in as someone with headset jack problems on their Vivid too...
My Sennheiser HD280's slip in and out of the jack, causing it to think it has a microphone connected (and pausing playback)
My car's aux-in cable just won't stay connected-- there's plenty of friction, but just rotating the cable alone causes it to think the headphones have vanished.
My cheapo headphones work, so long as I keep the cable perfectly still and allow no rotation/pull on the cable.
This is rather frustrating, I must admit.
I'm going to go to the ATT store tomorrow and see if their demo unit has this same issue also.
(Side note: MHL doesn't work on my phone either, but I'm not sure if that's a side effect of the way I rooted my phone)
i noticed this problem with my 3.5mm in my car. I was stumped because my sony canal earbuds were working perfectly and my gaming headset (turtle beach hpx) was working perfectly as well (the jack on this is pretty big). I went to radioshack and tried a different 3.5mm and it fit perfectly. Im guessing certain plug-ins dont work for some reason.
Hello. I'm having problems with my audio jack not playing music. When I connect my headphones, which are skullcandies, they play no sound out of the headphones but plays sound of the speakers for about a second. This is only happening with these headphones. They work perfectly on other devices and other headphones work perfectly on this phone. If I put these head phones in 1/2 way in so they haven't clicked yet, they work fine. About 3 days ago they worked fine. I thought if I updated to kitkat and wipe my phone they would work again, but no. Please help me, this is driving me nuts. Thanks in advance.
Make sure there isn't any lint in the jack. I had a similar problem with an old phone and cleaned out the jack and a big piece of lint came out, after that it worked perfectly fine.

Yeah, I've looked in there with a flashlight and didn't see anything. I've blew into it and nothing. Also as I mentioned all other headphones work.
Anyone having issues with their headphone jack?
It seems hit or miss whether or not my headphones will produce a good sound or not. There's a great deal of turning the connector to fix the problem currently.
And before any body asks, no, I'm 100% positive its not the headphone cord or jack, seeing as playing the audio through my DAC/Portable amp set up doesn't produce the same problem.
Bum headphone jack?

have you tried a different set of headphones? some people were reporting that their sol jax buds had some glue on the connector causing issues.

My son had this problem with his sol jax buds. Only seemed to be a problem on the Moto X, and other headphones worked fine on the Moto X. Didn't see any excess glue or another outward sign of a problem. Motorola replaced the buds with another pair of the same model and all works fine now.
My dell desk speakers won't work when plugged in directly to motox but they will work with an extension cable plugged in. I have similar issues with certain headphones and my tablet. I guess headphone jacks on mobile devices are not all made the same?

I have a issue with my jack, it detects a headphone ( it will stop playing music when removed ) but it wont output audio via it !
TBH the whole audio on this phone is shoddy at the best, sounds tinny as feck and has ni EQ out the box.
Yurns out google cant even make a music app let alone a camera !

I've managed to figure out, my skullcandys broke it, if i plug them in, and pull REALLY hard down the back of the phone, it'll play from both, but only on the skullcandys, I was using beats beforehand, the jacks are different on both :/

I had this issue years ago on my note 2 with Auxiliary 3.5mm cables for my car. When purchasing cables or headphones you need to be careful especially with phones. Some manufacturers of cables and headphones go cheaper and do not manufacturer to the spec correctly. You will see a difference in the thickness of the connectors. So sometimes after using a thicker connector the ring contact in the port will bend out and connectors with smaller connectors will have this problem. Things to try.
1) Using compressed air make sure there is no lint in the connector.
2) Make sure the connector is pushed all the way in.
3) Test additional headphones/aux cords. Do any work correctly? If so compare connectors to each other. If the ones working are thicker you could stick to those or using a very small screwdriver to gently pry this contact more into the plug chamber. Be careful as the contact is fairly delicate.

I haven't had any issues with the 4 sets of headphones that I tested. It could be a loose plug or a worn out plug.
