The headphone jack on my Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 (android 4.3) recently stopped playing music and playing a crackling sound instead. This crackling sound is in time with the music and if you turn it up kind of loud you can hear the music a little in the background. :crying:
When it stopped it was completely random- I was listening to music and when the next song started I couldn't hear anything, only the crackling when the volume was turned up loud enough.
It's not the headphones, because I have tried various different pairs which work perfectly fine on other devices. The speaker still works fine too.
I'm not sure of the reason... I did drop my phone into the toilet about 7 months ago and once more about 3 months ago, but this problem only appeared now. Can dropping your phone in water cause problems that long after the event?
Or it might be because I got my phone repaired yesterday? I had the microphone and the glass/touch buttons replaced, so I'm not sure if when that was replaced they knocked the headphone jack or something, but for about one day after getting that repaired the headphone jack worked fine.
Are there any things I could do to fix this problem? Or do I have to take it back to get fixed? And, if I do need it fixed at a repair shop, around how much will it cost? I've had a lot of problems with this phone and I'm just wondering if I should get a new one. My phone is out of warranty, and I'm not on a contract or plan anymore, so I can't just get a new one.
Take it back its probably hardware .
Or try factory reset.

hello,
i dropped my phone into water, have since dried it off and recovered all functions.
however, the headphone jack and inverse camera have stopped working, i don't really care about the camera, but i really need the headphone jack to work.
i did a factory reset on my phone and the jack worked for about a week, then stopped. i assumed it was a hardware issue and ordered a replacement part, which i then installed, but the phone still wont play any audio. once i plug earphones in i can hear music for about half a second, which then cuts off, no matter how much i jiggle the jack or play around with the parts. i can see that the phone recognises that there are earphones in the jack, but no sound whatsoever comes through the earphones, so i'm wondering if this could possibly be a software issue...
anyway, im stumped right now, so any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!
If you suspect that it's a software issue you could add information of what software you're using in the post. What version of android are you running, which audio player are you using etc.
When I listening to music with stock music player + stock headphone
after I went to jogging for 15 Minutes it's start to randomly decrease/increase volume
and now I did update a firmware to latest and even ask for warranty to replacing new one,
[My old one completely messed up, bass gone, answer call button is not working.]
they gave me a new one but this issue is still with me I really don't know about this so I've 2 conclusion.
1. The headphone doesn't water-resistance and it get soaked with my sweat. (My previous S2 Headphone fully soaked but it's alright)
2. It's the system bug or something about the device.
PS. I never had issue about headphone distortion or volume before, only this issue.
Anyone had any idea of this??? please help...
Thanks a lot:good:
It is most likely your sweat dripping into the inline controls.
I got the phone on monday and everything was fine. Today i head out and wanted to try out the headphones and music comes through the speakers and not the headset. the phone hsn't been submerged in water or anything. anyone had this issue or possible fix?
thanks
Hello,
Here is my problem: Suddenly for no reason at all, the R earbud stopped working. My thought was: "Oh well, it happens with earphones", after that i bought some earphones without microphone which had much more clearer sound, and both of earbuds (R&L) worked well, untill few days ago, suddenly the right one (R), drop dead. I thought that it was again earphone problem, but I've tried to put them to my laptop, stereo, etc. and they worked just fine. So, I thought:"It must be audio jack problem". And it was, because now only left one works, and I must twist earphone plug in a strange way for both of earbuds to work but it is impossible to me to hold them all the time like that.
My brother has also galaxy S3, so I borrowed his original Samsung earphones and I didn't have to twist them or bend them. They just worked fine, both of earbuds. So I've done some searching over the internet and I've learned that it could be some contact problem in jack, that one contact is loose. My question is, how to fix that fast and cheap, because I'm cheap and lazy bastard. I would like to know if there is any solution to my problem so i won't have to go to Samsung service. I've seen that there are replacement parts for audio jack + speaker on eBay, any experiences with that?
Best regards!
I have the Galaxy Note i717. I have replace the charging port flex cable which seems to be working just fine now. I however noticed that my sound does not work through my loudspeaker. not to sure of this. It is quite unique due to the fact that:
a.) When headphones are plugged in sound works fine through them
b.)when making a call with headphones in the vocals from the person on the other end are coming out of the loudspeaker.
c) without headphones it will play touch tones
d )no media will play
e) when overheated by a couple degrees phone seems to want to play through loudspeaker but not for long (incidental overheating i might add, laid on phone lol)
I have tried every thing that i can think of to fix this issue. i have blown through speaker i have checked all my flex cables and they are intact. I'm just not sure what to do with it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance.
