Rant from the workout floor

**droidntn** · 09-07-2012, 06:55 AM

I'm posting this while sweating, sitting in silence on an exercise ball.
This is my one single gripe about Androids... This Durn headset plug issue. Same thing with my X.
ONE LITTLE WIGGLE AND IT SHUTS DOWN THE SOUND.!!
It's great sitting on a treadmill panel. But you put it in a pocket and move that headset plug and zzzzzip.... She's gone. Not reboot just sound goes off. As I said same thing with my X. Different headsets get same thing.
yes I realize that can be solved with a wireless headset. But for Petes sake you can get a 1970 fm radio to work for this and I can't MOVE an inch with a state of the art cellphone in 2012???
Cmon Motorola...
As in White Chics..
I'M GOING TO WRITE A LETTER!

I use my razr maxx with standard apple headphones at the gym with the phone in my pocket. Sometimes with the phone jack facing up and sometimes down. Never had a problem. Of course my Pandora mix may be milder than yours.

It happens from time to time when i use nobex radio. I hit pause and then play and the sound comes back. Definitely irritating.

This is a common issue. It hasn't been talked about in awhile, but if you searched, you would have found.
Now, on to the trouble shooting. Take a paper clip or tooth pick and just stick it into the headphones jack. Pick at it and it's most likely a piece of lint stuck. It's blocking things from connecting. I have had this problem myself. It's not your headphones (test on other devices to make sure). In my case, it wasn't my Square Credit Card Reader, which also uses the headphones jack. Picking at it solved the problem for me. Once in a while, you just have to clean out the jack. Motorola themselves have said it's a design flaw, which they should have fixed in the different generations.

Couldn't bring myself to stick something in the headset hole but I did blow down in it a few times and turn it upside down and sorta shake it.
Worked flawlessly this am in my pocket. Didn't cut off one time.
Many thanks!

Can of compressed air from Wal-Mart is also an option.

Go Bluetooth, I have placed my phone at the front desk and completed my workout only to realize that I forgot my phone when the connection dropped on the way to the car. There are no cords to get hung either.

What do you use? I use Jaybird Freedom Bluetooth headphones and absolutely love them.
