Serious sound issues through LG G3 headphone jack/AUX!

[j-dogg_69]

Forgot to say in my other post - When I have a regular AUX cable plugged in, if anything touches the jack plugged into the phone, the music either stops or launches Google now. Anyone else getting that? Really infuriating. Feel like that must be a hardware problem rather than software?

You should try out the app "SoundAbout" and set everything to no action (activate all three criterias).
Everything is alright with my phone now, after installing the app.
cheers

[yeah yeah]

I'm thankful that I have none of the audio issues described in this thread (so far). Used and tried the following:

Regular cheap AUX cable. '10 - Venza; '10 - Accord
SMS, Beats, Bose, and SOL headphones

Its been happening less the more I do the trick I talked about earlier. Its like its learning that I tend to use music once I connect it to the cable or something.Weird. I almost still want to return it. Would that be wrong?

I'm having the same problem

sent from my LG G3

I have the same problem with it not connecting to my car stereo. I read somewhere that someone licked the end before connecting to their LG G3 (I think it was this thread actually), and it worked for them. So why not, I'll try licking the end of my $4 aux cable before connecting to my LG G3, and it worked!

Haha same here... Madness really isn't it!?

I would have to think that the units in question are simply defective.
My aux jack works like it's designed to: Headphones, Aux input for car, single ear earbud w/microphone, small stand alone powered speaker, all with no issues.
There has got to be a way to return these units, no one should have to go through this BS.

I'm heading by Carphone Warehouse in a few minutes to query getting a replacement device/what they'll offer to do about it. Will update with what happens.

Update: They couldn't have been less interest. Two 'kids' were all that were running the shop today, Doubt they could have told me what make and model the phone was never mind offer any kind of assistance. Told me to contact LG as my phone is over the 28 period (but not interested that I took out their £15 a month 'Geek Squad' cover. Chose not to cancel it until I've figured out this audio problem). They told me to contact LG directly. Suggest everyone with this problem do the same so that they know there is an issue.

I've been having this issue with my stereo but not my car. I tried beginning to play music and then plugging it into the switched on stereo and it worked. Only tried once though.

 

[yeah yeah]

Take it back. In my Venza, it acts up. Works with no issues in my Accord tho.

I assure you it's not a defective G3. I got my first one replaced and the replacement is exactly the same. If you connect to your stereo via audio cord, consider yourself lucky if your stereo has no issues with the G3. If you have no personal technical problem, please do not dismiss the many users that DO have an issue.

Again, it seems to depend on whether your particular stereo wants to "see" an audio input connected before it will function. Another case of designers and engineers making things unnecessarily complicated.

Strange. I haven't had any issues with mine.

You're trying to hard to find issue with my post.
But I will concede and agree that there is nothing wrong with any of the phones in question.
Carry on and enjoy!

G3 has smart resistance that can have bad data. Clear cache and problem goes away. settings - general tab - storage - let finish calculating and tap on "cache". Problem fixed!

Anyone else have success by doing this?
