Acer Liquid E700 problem with headphone jack, not working properly.

Here I am again, what a surprise! Reporting another problem with my 2 month old ACER LIQUID E700. Now the problem is, the headphone jack isnt working properly. When I watch movies, or play music with a headphone or earphone, the dialogue or conversations during movies , or the lyrics sang when playing music, can barely be heard. Also , everytime I connect my earphone it the E700, theres a fast ticking sound, which is faint but you can really hear it, and thats when I realized something was wrong. P.S This phone was never dropped or gotten wet. Im really starting to regret buying an acer phone.Any acer representatives out there who know whats going on?

Well airstrike2014, I do know how it happened to me, it's weird but definitely how it happened, so I was downloading a electrical razor app to scare my friends (I know, it's stupid, but anyway) and the app works by vibrating at full power and playing a electric razor sound, but it would only vibrate (and the app description said that it would make some sounds too) and I tried maxing out my sound but there was really no way to make it play any sounds. I got tired of it 5 mins later and uninstalled thinking the problem was in the app or something, but I go watch a YouTube video right after and no sound was coming out either, even with the volume maxed out and with headphones, so I restart my phone, now sounds play perfectly when there aren't any headphones plugged in but when there are, it now happens what you described there, a tick sound lasting the first few seconds the headphones are plugged in and if I try to play any media it happens that "instrumental effect", other heaphones do the same, so it's obviously the phone.I mean, is it really possible that some kind of problem occurred while trying to vibrate and play sound at the same time? Well it was for me, the phone was fine until then.Sorry for the boringly long post haha

Headphone jack not working properly for Zen Mi

I wrote to tech support and I my only response from tech supports was to just do a recovery of the Zen Micro. The thing is, this problem isn't a software issue but an actual physical issue. Could it have been damaged because I constantly swap my headphones when I'm out walking or the FM receiver while I'm in my car. This is like the first time I've ever had a problem with the headphone jack for any device, whether it be a cassette walkman, CD player, Game Boy. The situation is like this, if I plug something in to the jack, sometimes the sound output is fine, but just a slight touch or jiggle and the sound gets distorted. This is rather annoying if the player is in my pocket and the sound will constant distort because its in my pocket. Is there a way to fix this? It seems so minute but if I can't listen to my songs properly what good is the player?

I know your new but I thought I would remind you to do a serach about the topic you did. Like my oleder post (still on this page) will tell you some fixes. Try http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=34355 and that should work for you if you just put the headphones in the spot it works and hot glue around the hole it should work or you can use a gel super glue which seems to work just as well as the hot glue BUT do not use liquid superglue that could really mess up your device with a liquid.~Derek

4S Headphone jack not working properly - even after replacement

Hi all,
A friend of mine was going to throw their water damaged 64GB iPhone 4S away so I salvaged it.
The charger port had corroded (main cause for it not turning on - flat) so I replaced it along with the battery, headphone jack, and front glass/display. It basically works fine and feels like a new phone now.
One issue that persists is the headphone jack is outputting distorted noise when music etc is playing. I'd noticed this before replacing the jack and its replacement has made no difference. (Replaced jack which is attached to mute/vol keys and top mic - all else of which work.)
The louder you set the volume, the less 'resistance' the distortion seems to have and the music sounds clearer. At the low end of the volume scale there seems to be almost no 'low volume ability' on the phone, ie it's off (move the volume slider just off 0) > it's on and way louder than it should be (clear and fine for about 5 seconds and then distorted/off) > louder with less distortion (also seems to momentarily fix the issue at low volume when increased.)
I have run the music player all day at mid-high volume to see if it would sort itself out with no improvement or worsening. The earpiece, speaker, microphone, airplay, and all buttons are working as they should, it's just when using headphones do I get this crackling.
My thoughts are something is stuffed on the main logiboard, but I'm really hoping that may not be the case. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks for reading : )

Ipad 4th gen headphone jack not working properly

Any ideas on this ?
Every time I put put my headphone jack in all I could hear is hiss sounds and when I try to maximize the volume I could hear the music but its too loud for me .
If I try to move my ipad 4th gen in stand it goes back normal , if I put it down or any other position I want to try it starts to give weird sounds again . ( plugged headphones )
It's my first time buying a tablet so I have little information about tablets and how to solve this .
Is it hardware or software issues or dust , it's been a week and half since I bought the ipad .
I'm quite satisfied with the buy but if it won't work well I guess I'm gonna be having a :( face .

Thanks so much for this post!
I got a lot of fluff out of my 1st gen ipod Touch's headphone jack. The audio would be fine if I used my Apple headphones (but they have completely fallen apart, 3rd replacement set from Apple) but with third party headphones I had the same problem as you described.

TS3274 i have problem with the sound not working

i have problem with the sounds not working

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod/Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

80G Headphone Jack not working

My 80G iPod headphone jack stopped working. I did the 5 R's. Didn't fix it. Transferred jack out of my old (dead) iPod to my 80G. Nothing again. Could have been a bad part though. Can I buy this part on here? Or is there anything else I can try? Thanks a lot.

Since you seem to know how to take them apart (and have the proper tools), maybe you can buy a broken iPod (of the same type) on eBay for the spare part. Most iPods with a hard drive that are broken are broken because of a bad hard drive. So your chances are good that the assembly with the headphone jack will be working.
And you'll have some other spare parts, such as screen, click wheel, dock connector...
If that broken iPod is broken because of a bad hard drive, but it is otherwise in better shape than your iPod, you can transplant your working hard drive into that iPod.

Problem With Headphone Jack

The headphone jack on my ipod is faulty. I think there is a connection problem in the jack of the ipod.
I know it isn't the headphones because i have tried various pairs of headphones.
I got in touch with the place i brought it from and they said to go to Apple directly.
Does anyone know what i have to do to get my ipod repaired? Contact email? Address to send it to?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I to had a problem with my headphone jack. Here is the problem with the iPod headphone jack (or with anyheadphone jack for that matter) Say you like to take your iPod out side, or you leave it in a humid area with the headphones out of it. Very very very small amounts of water will build up in the jack, and this slowly, after about a year coorodes the copper inside. This has happened to two iPods that I have had. Now the only real problem is that, if what i explained above is your problem, it is not covered under the apple warrenty or the apple care program. If you do have to get a new iPod, I would highly suggest getting an Otterbox Water Proof case. It is bulky, but it will save you a lot of money.

MacBook Pro Retina Problems with Headphone jack, Speakers, USB Port, MagSafe 2 and the hard drive

I took my MacBook Pro Retina 2.6GHz i7 to the genius bar to have the headphone jack looked at. I was told they could easily fix it but had to order the part. That day I took it home and returned to the store once I was notified that the part arrived so I could drop it off for repair. 3 days after I dropped my computer off with the genius bar I missed a phone call and returned to my iphone with a new voicemail. It said something like this, "Hello Tim, I just wanted to let you know that we replaced the headphone jack but it turned out not to be the problem and the problem was actually with the logic board. Don't worry though, we went ahead and replaced that for you, however, after that was done, the speakers stopped working but the headphone jack is fixed. We have to order new speakers to put in your computer b/c we don't have those on hand either."
Long story short, they fixed the speakers but, "had to order another part to repair the USB port." So I am waiting for that to be repaired but the dang AC Power to the actual computer does not work now!!! It's not the magsafe 2 charger that I have or the outlets I tried it in b/c I tried multiple chargers and multiple outlets. I am very frustrated! I have been without my computer for almost 2 weeks and still have to take it in at least twice more to get the power working this weekend and then again next week to (hopefully) get the USB port working.
At what point should I ask for a new computer or a refund? I have been using Apple Computers my whole life, I have had 8 different mac laptop models and have not had a problem until this computer. I am very frustrated with the support I have received from Apple as a whole.

Contact Apple Customer Relations and let them know that you're not happy. With the logic board replacement, everything else should have been evaluated and fixed at the same time. It sounds as if you just got a lemon. You could plead your case for a replacement unit, I would think, since your machine is being 'replaced' piecemeal...
Good luck,
Clinton

Problems with headphone jack -- anyone else?

My wife's 4G Nano has problems with the headphone jack, and we are sending it back for repair. The unit played one channel through both earbuds, and on many songs the difference is not that noticeable, so we didn't even know it had a problem for a day or so. On other songs, the problem was obvious because you could barely hear the vocals. Also, maximum volume was much lower than it should have been. I have seen at least two other posts on this board indicating a similar problem. I suspect there may be others with the same problem who don't even realize it because on some songs the difference is very subtle. Mine would only play true stereo when you inserted the plug halfway into the jack and held it there. If you suspect you might have the same problem, try that. You might have to push "Play" again because removing the plug often stops playback.

I had the same problem with a 16Gig that I ordered the day they were announced: one channel very weak but if you pull the plug half way out it seemed to function. It didn't really function though. By pulling it out you hit a point where both earphones are playing off the same channel. I looked in the headphone jack with a microscope and could see either contamination or removed gold from the contact in the nano to the channel on the tip of the plug.
At first they wanted me to return it for repair but I refused since I didn't pay for a refurb or repaired unit and it had come to me defective. They ultimately replaced it for me and now it seems to work fine. It is not a real obvious problem, but looking here on the forum I'd say it is a not uncommon problem which indicates that their quality control needs improvement.

Second generation ipod touch and problems with headphone jack.

Hello!
I have a second generation ipod touch that is experiencing headphone jack problems. Everytime that I plug any sort of headphones in all it does is make weird noises and only let me hear background parts of the music. I have even tried replacing the headphones that i was using and it still does the same thing. The only way to hear all of the song is to push the headphones to the left and hold it there otherwise nothing works. I even talked to some of my friends that have the 2nd generation ipod touch and they have the same problem. Is there an issue with the 2nd generation ipod that people are not informed about?

No.
My 2G, passed along to my brother now, is just fine after nearly 3 years of daily use and it's share of hard knocks.
I didn't just "get lucky" either .
A search of this forum will show that what you've described does happen but it's not common.
You need a 3rd party , like iPod Doctor, to tell you and your friends what happened and how to avoid it in the future.
I doubt it will make sense to repair a 2G iPod since it can no longer be updated but ask anyway.

Problem with headphone jack on zen micro and customer support hel

I have had a zen micro for about a month now and i am very pleased with my purchase. BUT a few days ago the sound suddenly changed whilst i was listening to it. i found out it was a faulty headphone jack. i emailed customer support to arrange a replacement and the replied asking to send back information about my player then they would send me a returns number.i did that and im still waiting for the returns number 3 days later!
i was wondering if anyone else is experienceing the same problem as me and how long it takes for customer support to send you a returns number?
im afraid i will eventualy get a relpacement and the same thing will happen again. anyone got any advice on how to avoid the problem?Message Edited by alexkelly on 02-02-2005 09:0 PM

This happened to me as well after about a week. Like most portable devices I think the headphone jack is one of the weak points and can be easily jarred from its solder joints. I am taking extra care with the replacement Creative sent and I expect that it will not happen again.
As far as getting the replacement, I would recommend calling Customer Support directly and explain what the problem is and they should give you an RMA over the phone. Be sure to have the player in front of you as they will need the serial number that is on it. I was very impressed with the speed of service as well. I called them Monday morning, sent my Micro back after the phone call (I used Priority Insured Mail, be sure to insure it whatever you use) and they sent me a replacement that arri'ved the following Tuesday, just 8 days which I have only had one other company beat as far as service ever. Also be sure to backup everything on your Micro before sending it as you will probably not receive the same one back and I believe they format them on the way in the door for various reasons. Also they will tell you only send the the player back, keep all the accessories as you will only get a player sent back to you. Good luck!

10.4.10 problems with headphone jack

Seems that at any time that my macbook is not playing music or sound of any kind there is an unbelievable (ridiculously) loud noise coming from my speakers.

I had the same problem with a 16Gig that I ordered the day they were announced: one channel very weak but if you pull the plug half way out it seemed to function. It didn't really function though.

Satellite Pro A200-18P - microphone / headphone jack not working with Vista

Hi,
I have installed Windows Vista onto this laptop which was originally an XP, but I have not got the headphone jack working.
How do I turn it on or do I have to download it from toshiba website?

Hi
First of all you have to check if there is an special BIOS for Vista.
As far as I know some A200 series needs BIOS which was released especially for Vista OS.
I think the notebook needs Realtek sound driver.
Therefore in control panel you should see the Realtek HD audio manager.
Go there and you will see the mic and headphone jack on the right.
Click right there and check if there are some settings which have to be enabled.
