Hello guys, I finally have my beloved HTC U11, and I simply love it. I have just a little concern for the headphones... The quality is very good, and they work fine..
However, I noticed that when my phone is in my pocket or on the desk listening the music, when the Type-C connector moves very very slightly on the sides the music pauses automatically. Of course the connector does not move out, just a little on the sides.
Is that normal or may I have faulty headphones?
Hello,
That never happened to me. I always listen to music with my u11 in my pocket but I never experienced your issue.
You might have a broken headset or a broken usb port on your phone.
If you don't have a warranty you might want to try cleaning the headset connector with alcohol.
It´s true. The movement forces connector mechanically. I have an original USB to P2 Adapter useless because I have had this kind of issue

Hi all, I seem to recall reading a post from someone who was suffering the same problem quite some time ago now, but I'll be damned if I can find it.
Basically my official HTC headphones worked well for a while, then I butchered them to solder on a 3.5mm female adapter. These worked correctly for some time then suddenly the headphone adapter miniUSB connection became a bit dodgy. One minute I'd be in work sneaking a quick episode of Kyle XY in, then suddenly the minutest touch of the mini-USB plug and sound is blaring out of the phone's internal speaker... not good! It would appear the connection of the miniUSB plug has become a little bit dodgy.
I've now bought a new miniUSB > 3.5mm female adapter from Expansys, and although better initially, the connection via the miniUSB jack is progressively getting worse. The slightest touch of the jack and sound is blaring out of the speaker. I'm assuming the contacts between the miniUSB jack and the phones' femail miniUSB connector are a little flaky for some reason.
Anyone have any experience of this, and any ideas how to resolve it?
open it up and learn how to solder..
if the contacts to the board are broken, solder them back. problem solved
if the jack itself is damaged, buy a broken 8525 or just the board, and switch the jacks. problem solved
help me out guys
i have just ran into a problem when i downloaded the new jfupdater update cupcake and now the headphone adapter doesnt work anymore can anyone help me out with this and let me know if they have ran into the same problem or if you have any ideas
Hi all,
I tried searching for this issue but no success on paging through and search still seams to be down (for me).
I use my HD2 as an MP3 player when I'm out and about. The problem is, when I use it in the car (I have an AUX in on my car stereo so plug it directly in via the 3.5mm audio out jack) and have it plugged in to charge (especially when I have SatNav running as well) it makes an odd noise, its not loud and doesn't disrupt the music but it is clearly there and only does it when plugged into charge in the car (not noticed it via earphones when plugged in via PC or Mains).
I tried putting one of those Ferrite cable magnets on to try and stop any interferance but that has no effect.
Has anyone else had this? Does anyone know a way of fixing it as it does get annoying, especially on long trips I have to do for work?
Cheers
BigDave
The charger is causing the interference. Try another charger if you can...
I second that. Your car charger probably isn't shielded enough and you are getting electrical interference.
Try a motorola microusb car charger. maybe 10 bucks on amazon. That is what i am using and I don't get any interference.

I have this too, using my HTC branded cig lighter charger. It is alternator/ignition system noise coming though the cig lighter.
Just about any car audio shop should be able to install a noise filter on your cig lighter socket to eliminate most of the noise. You can also find these on ebay for about $20-30 and install yourself. They are easy to install. Generally they wire inline on the Pos wire and have a 3rd wire coming out of the filter that you tie to a grounded portion of the car body.
I had to install the above mentioned filters i picked up off ebay onto my stereo head unit and amp. There is still a nearly unnoticeable amount of noise. and I mean to hear it you have to turn the volume all the way up, have the car stopped, and no audio playing. Normal road noise or music content otherwise drowns it out. Now that i use my HD2 with the stereo I need to filter the cig lighter as well, I just haven't gotten around to it.

Cheers d0ug, just what I was looking for.
Thanks for the other replies too guys, i know it wasn't a specific charger issue as it did it with my HTC charger (before i broke it) and with my current outlet (a single unit with 2x 12v outlets and 2x USB sockets fed from a single 12v, only 1 usb in use at the moment).
Will try to pick one of those 12v noise filters up as soon as i can
Plugged in my phone yesterday to the car using aux and noticed that the sound was only in the right speaker.. So I first thought the cable had jumped out from the aux port, but that was wrong :/
Have tried both in the car, my headset, home cinema speaker and my computer speakers.
The problem is my 3.5 port. When I turn and wiggle the cable do I sometimes hear the left speaker "activate"
Warranty? Even if it's rooted?
Any other way to fix this?
you will need to restore stock rom for warranty, do the pins look ok inside?,left one is the tip, so you may need to hold it down or clean the connection.
I hear some users damage it by bending the connection when in their pocket.
hi guys, basicallynim wondering if anybody else is experiencing the issues that i am.
Essentially im ecstatically happy with my z2, except the headphone port seems faulty. While driving i use the 3.5mm jack on the z2 to connect tk the car.
This is when i noticed the faults with the headphone port. If i insert a 3 or 4 pid connector, either a 3.5-3.5 cable, a standard 3pin headphone connector, or a 4 pin headset, a slight nudge on the connector disconnects the headphones/cable and music stops. Sometimes, google now gets triggered as well. The same things happen if i twist the jack, whatever is connected. It also seems quite loose, and there is no positive click when a jack is inserted.
I would upload a video showing what happens, but my only video camera is in my z2.........
It has also not been submerged/wet at all, and is kept in a case (i tested the jack without the case as well, but it still happens)
In my brand new Z2 I also don't hear that click when inserting headphones but they are in the deep all the way. I tested 4 different earphones and speakers but none gave me any problems(I was twisting jack and trying to move it but connection was too tight), no loss of sound. I think you should get your Z2 serviced or replaced. Also I have a question. When you plug in normal headphones or speakers(not the noise cancelling ones), do you get a notification saying that you connected them or not? I only get something like this when Smart Connect is enabled...
I have issues with jack too. When you pulg in headphones, it sometimes wont recognize that something was plugged in, but if you try to twist the jack in the phone, it may get working (the sound is clear, no loss). The problem is when you put the phone in a pocket and walk, the jack is moving there so it is very likely to stop working and u have to twist it again.
When I bought the phone, I had no problems with it, but after first water test (which resulted fine, there was no water inside), the problem started.
Got the phone for 2 months and the issue still persists.
My solution is plugging in, search for the right spot before it starts worrking and walk with phone in a hand, holding the cable so it wont move in the jack.
i got it replaced in the end, had the new one for 2 weeks with no issues, so definitely a hardware fault.
Headphone jack not working after submerging in the water
Hi,
I submerged my xperia z2 last night in the swimming pool. It's been 12 hours since I submerged my phone. Every thing is running perfectly except for my headphone jack. The first time I used my earphone there's small amount of water coming out from the hole. The headphones is not working because it's not fully dried from water? I tried cleaning it up and blowing some air for some particles to get dry but it still not working.
I need help please because my phone is not insured because I bought it online
What should I do?!
I got my z2 last Tuesday and my headphones (Logitech UE 350) were working perfectly until I tried using them today. For some reason they aren't being recognized anymore and the music just keeps playing through the phones speakers.
I tried plugging them into my old iphone and they work fine. I also tried plugging in another pair (Shure SE215) into both phones and they work fine. Except on the z2 it makes a clicking sound whenever I change songs now.
Does anybody know any way to fix this? Or could it be a faulty headphone jack?
Could be a number of things mate. Firstly, check and see the headphones are not physically damaged and even make sure that the microhpones in the in-ear pieces aren't affected by water exposure. Next check the headphones out by moving the wire around while they're plugged in and see how the sound comes out and if the phone reacts to any movements. When I used my phone in water even after hours of drying the headphone jack still wasn't dry so even the slightest movement switched tracks etc. Alternatively, it could be a headphone jack fault in the sense that it may be shorting? Or the 3.5mm 5pin connector on the headphones itself is damaged. It could also simply be a software glitch. Go into "Sounds" in your settings and change what kind of accessory it detects the headphones as. Try "Other", it may solve your problems. Alternatively take it into a Sony store or a phone shop and see if there's anywhere with a similar headset which you could test out.
