Headphone jack on my razor maxx just completely stopped working today. Any ideas? Can't afford the warranty replacement but need music as it's what gets me through the drive home after overnights... Any ideas or tips/tricks you have will be helpful!
Thanks, Isaac Dibb

So just to be sure--you've tried rebooting the phone, and also making sure the headphone plug is pushed completely in until you hear the click, right?
If the jack is truly jacked, as it were, then I'd suggest trying Bluetooth headphones. They're getting pretty inexpensive these days.
There have also been some reports of lint causing a problem. Some have suggested using a damp toothpick as a tool to clean the headphone jack.

And just to be sure it's the jack... did you try another set of headphones? I'm guessing you are using headphones, but you never stated you were or what you did to troubleshoot your issue.
This happens to me quite often. I just use a can of compressed air and blow in the jack and it starts working. I dont know why but this phone does it more than any other I have used.
You'd think with all that fancy nano coating, we wouldn't be having do many problems.

Using a damp toothpick worked! Thank you all:) I was scared that I'd have to cash out the hundred bucks for a warranty replacement...

How damp are we talking here?

So that no one feels that this is some sort of egregious design flaw, you all might be interested in knowing that even the greatly insane--I mean, insanely great--iPhone is not immune to problems like this. My wife's iPhone 4S has had intermittent issues with poor sound recording when taking videos, which was due to lint or other junk collecting in the pinhole-sized microphone aperture. I had to clear it out with a safety pin.
Dampness: I just ran it under the faucet in the kitchen and shook it off lightly then stuck it in the jack and moved corner to corner and got a nice size piece of lint out of the bottom:)
