Heaphone Jack no longer works

[beperry1]

i would be curious if it were an app causing a conflict?

That's what I'm thinking. Try six or seven more and let us know

Ouch...it's a RAZR, Maxx.

They show it in an iPhone...you can't buy that!

just got my Maxx. Jack didn't work when I hooked it to my car stereo but worked great with my skull candy headphones. I thought it had something to do with the microphone. But it just worked with my standard head phones and worked great, I take the head phones out and put the aux cable, nothing, won't even switch off the speaker. I can't tell the difference between the plugs they look the same.

Hey, you guys rock. Never imagined that a lint ball can find its way in there. Added my 2 cents to it, used a toothpick instead of a metal pin to remove the lindt ball ( thought toothpick can reduce any accidental damage ) and now the headset and aux cable as good as ever. Thanks again guys.

I am definitely having software issues with this. I have an extension cable. When I plug it into the phone by itself it doesn't recognize it. But when I put my headphones into the extension cable it works great. it just refuses to allow the aux cable use.

Having same problem, been using headphones while on train for months now. Suddenly this morning there is no sound. When I go to settings the volume is up for media, but the speaker has a line through it. Tried the link trick, didn't work. HELP!

step 1. Plug in extension cable. Sound still through speaker. Step 2. Plug regular head phones into other end if extension cable. Sound now comes through headset. Step 3. Remove headset and plug in aux cable. I now have sound to my radio. Yay. Seems like there's no lint problem but it takes regular headphones to activate the switch. Yeah I know it's wonky but it's the only way mine works.

could be the coating used on some headphones... some use gold plating, or say they do... i'd venture to say a bad coating, or sub par quality materials...

I had a problem occur where audio would not come out of my phone's speaker, and was resolved by rebooting the phone.

that is a known hardware issue buddy. sad to say, but try pressing on the bezel directly below the speaker and see if it comes back if this happens again.

Thanks.. However, the reboot did the trick this time.. It hasn't happened since, thankfully.

Work that time but if it stops working you need to just send it to them for hardware failure.

Add me to the lint-pickers. Was having the problem about an hour ago...read your posts and even though I could not see lint, I used a toothpick to eventually pull out enough to fill any "inward turned belly button"
I chatted with Moto and they said the grommets are not available from them... I will let you know if I can find the plugs for the phone jack and the other holes...

I'm an expert at plugging holes., pretty much any 3.5 millimeter plug will work.

so do you accept paypal for that quarter? =D - saved my day!

This happened to me on my DX. Turns out, lint from my pocket got down in there. Dumb sounding, I know. Bend a staple so it's pretty straight, hold the phone upside down and dig around in there a little. Then mail me a $0.25 tip if that was it

 

[iresq]

Figures, just ordered my warranty replacement for same issue. Will try lint trick layer today.

RAZR sharp

 

[droidntn]

I also had this problem. Mine worked. But any wiggle of the headeset plug at all and it'd bzzzz, then shut off the headset sound. I posted it here and someone mentioned the lint possibility. I blew in mine and tapped it a little bit. Works perfectly now.
A moderator needs to stick this thread please. This is very important and a known issue.

 

[joed2813]

I owe you a quarter!

 

[Tom Matiacio]

You guys rock. Getting read to pursue warranty when I read this thread. A little compressed air did the trick. Yes!!!

Happened to a few different phones i had, if blowing into it didn't work (which it usually did), a q tip ripped down to fit with a little contact cleaner worked.
