Flakey Headphones Jack

[mscalero]

Hello,

I have tried three different wired headsets, and I get the same result for all...

Anytime a move the phone around while my headphones are plugged into the headphone jack, the music (Music app or Pandora) get's real cracky and sometimes the music app will close down. It's almost as if the headphone jack connection is just really poor and the slightest movement of the wire, disrupts the connection.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is there another resolution aside from going to the store and getting a new device?

I had this issue with my first Droid. I took it in and they replaced because it was a bad headphone jack.

This seems to be a common problem that many (including myself) have. I'm beyond my 30-day worry free period with Verizon so I didn't really want to deal with that (getting a refurb, being without my phone, etc).

I found that the tip discussed here made it LESS flaky.
