anyone else have a problem with the plug not seating into the headphone jack with a solid click? the one on my phone is so lose that the plug comes out with no effort. Just barely moving the phone will cause the headphone to unseat. I don't like it when people sit in a restaurant, or somewhere else, and play their music for all to hear.. There have been a few times when this has happened accidently to me as the plug won't seat firmly. i will stop by the Sprint store and see what they say. Bet I have to give up the phone for awhile, huh?

Mine is pretty tight, guessing they'll have to take apart your phone to fix it. But I wanted to say, what is up with people playing their music put in the open as if they are the only ones who can hear it? This has happened to me 4 times in this last couple weeks where people are shopping at target and blaring their music for everyone to hear! I swear people live in their own universe without regard for anyone else lol

I was jamming some killer brutal metal tunes at Best Buy and a guy came up to me and asked what awesome band was it. Only people who jam cool tunes like me can get away with it. But if you play stuff that is on the radio or is popular old crap, you are a loser.

[jlbattagli]

Getting back to OP's main point, I initially had this problem with my G2 as well. Turned out I just wasn't pushing the plug in hard enough - had to push significantly harder than on my old Evo, but it then sets with a positive "click" and all is well.

Also, if you are using a case, it's possible that there isn't enough clearance in the hole for the jack and the plastic portion of the plug is getting hung up. Try your jack without the case, or try a different headset to see if that fixes the problem. Shouldn't be too hard to expand the hole in the case if need be.

[Gary Friderichsohn]

No case. I go naked. I've had the phone since Nov and the pressure to insert jack is different now. I plug four different devices into G2; IEM, headphones, cable from car stereo, and FiiO Kunlun amp. I don't get a click and plugs are in all the way.

Nah man, mine is fine. Clicks right in.

Yep, sounds physically damaged, then. Hope you can get it fixed/replaced quickly. You may get lucky and the store can swap it out then and there.

Just got back. Company store said they can no longer order replacement phones. They sent me to a third party store. The third party store attempted to repair, but could not so they ordered another phone. Doesn't that seem strange? The store owned by Sprint can not order replacement phones? I was asked if I have insurance. I did. I wanted to ask, "Why, it's under warranty"? But I did not want to muddy the water.

That does seem strange. When I cracked the screen on my Evo back in January or February, I get a new (refurb) phone with no problem at all (under insurance). And that phone had been out for almost two years by then. The G2 has only been out about six months or so.

Push the male piece into the phone MUCH HARDER THAT YOU THINK YOU HAVE TO. Should fix your problem.

Seriously Jeff? You think Lisa and I are stupid?

I had the same problem with mine. I stuck a tooth pick in the jack and pulled a bunch of lint out now it works fine.

that is a different problem. My plug would go in all the way. You could not push it in any further. there was no "brass" visible. It was in all the way. It would just slide out. By gravity, for example. Loose.

[Paul Yoder]

I just bought a samsung Gs5 that has the same problem. Apparently there are many reports of this issue. I'm seeing that either people get it repaired (looks complicated to DYI) or get a replacement.

[Susan Caswell]

Thank you so much!!! I was looking all over for a fix to this and if it wasn't for your post, I would have went out and bought a new Audio Jack for no reason!!!

[Kecia Mack]

I just purchased mine last week and I'm now experiencing the same problem. It worked fine when I initially used it, however now it will not stay in place

This definitely didn't happen. The people in that Best Buy probably thought you were a jerk. I seriously hope this is a joke reply.

Mine wouldn't even detect the headphones were plugged in.

I thought you were crazy when I read it, but after trying I pulled out a good bit of lint and now jack sits tight! Thanks!

Also thought this idea was crazy, as I've never had an issue like this with any headphone jack in my life. After carefully digging for a few minutes, i loosened some lint and dirt up and pulled tons out. Jack is perfectly tight now. Lol so weird.

I think Jao36 might be right, its a bunch of lint. I had the same problem with my jack not clicking in and falling out all the time. It was getting very annoying. So because I keep my phone in the front pocket that seemed like a likely cause. So how I fixed it was a took a small sewing pin, put it in a vice, and gently hit the tip with a hammer. This bent the sharp tip into a very small hook. Then I worked this in and out of the hole and yes, there was a ton on lint inside that I couldn't even see. After that it clicked like new.

[Sanjit2017]

With my headphones plugged, I have to turn the jack side of the headphone clockwise or anti-clockwise or sometime lift up a very little bit to hear the music. Sometimes, even moving the cable of the headphones makes it work. If I don't do these things, the music comes real faint. I tried cleaning the female port on phone where the headphone jack plugs in with a alcohol-soaked cotton swab and also a toothpick, nothing happened. I replaced this headphones with my friends one and it worked sweet. I guess, its a problem with my loose connection of the headphone jack with the phone's port.
Let me know, if I am concluding right. If not, what might the probable causes and whats the remedy for this.
Thanks in advance.

Same problem, with the same result: lint. I turned my phone off and used a paper clip to dig around and after a while, loosened a wad of lint. Headphones seat fine now.

I just searched this because I was having the same problem. I took your advice and cleaned out the jack port with a paperclip, there was SO MUCH lint in it. I think I found the problem

[saadgb]

I was searching some fix for my LG G6 and I found this thread. Cleaning with paper clip method really worked. Thanks people
