I want to know is it my problem or this is for all user? and what is the solution?

Sorry to hear this but you would need to either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care and have your device inspected http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

I received an iPod nano 3G for Christmas this year and the first thing I noticed about the little guy is that the headphone jack was so loose that the headphones would fall out anytime I moved the iPod. I returned the iPod and exchanged it for another and this new one is a little better but not a really tight fit. I recently tried a different pair of headphones because the Apple-included headphones don't really stay in my ears and the new headphones now have the same problem with my new iPod. So right now I'm on my second iPod and I can't understand why the headphone jack is so loose. Has anyone else had this problem?
Nevermind the headphone jack being loose. Apparently I hadn't pushed the headphone plug far enough into the jack to fully seat it. I hate it when I realize I've been a dork. Chalk this one up to being an iPod noob.

Nomad Zen 20g - Headphone jack isn't work
Does anyone know where and/or how I could get the headphone jack on my Zen fixed? I love the player but need to keep jiggling the headphone jack to hear the music. Thanks!
Unfortunately this is a design flaw on many of the older model ZEN jukebox players. The contacts on the circuit board where the headphone jack connects come loose and cause the headphone jack to separate from the board. The only way to fix it is with a careful re-solder job, that is, if you don't want to send it back to Creative for an expensive repair job.
Here's a really good step-by-step article complete with pictures showing how to reaffix the headphone port to the board:

Hiss coming from headphone jack (MBP 2011)
I have a new 2011 MBP (about three weeks old). All of a sudden I am getting a hiss from the headphone jack - even when the volume is completely off. I have tried different headphones - same effect. I tried the same headphones in other products - no problem; so clearly the problem is originating with the computer. I have searched the boards and while this seems to have been a problem in the past, I have not found any mention of this problem for more recent MBPs.
Please help!Update: Apparently it doesn't "work" under alsa, it's spotty at best. Sometimes it works, but it skips so much it's basically unplayable. Upon a reboot, sound then comes out of the headphone port (at near-deafening levels), then another reboot and nothing works.
I think I may have to switch the laptop over to ubuntu, apparently everything works 'out of the box' :\ I didn't want it to come to that, but having a multi-media oriented laptop with no sound just isn't going to cut it -
Headphone Jack Class Action: Exploratory Informat
Hi everyone-
I own a Zen Micro which I got for Christmas- like most here, it seems- and which was one of the limited-edition first run. Like many others who got this first-generation Micro, my headphone jack has come loose and quickly turned my Micro into an expensi've paperweight. I was told I would have to pay $40 to get the problem fixed.
I then came to these boards and realized that the problem was NOT unique to my player, but seemed to effect almost the entire product line. I saw much rumbling about class action litigation, although no one seemed to be a lawyer. I'm not paying $40 and going without my player to fix a design defect; other companies I've had quality problems with (Gateway, for example) shipped new parts to me at their cost and then gave me a week to ship the old one back in the box they provided so that I never went without my computer and didn't have to spend any money at all, even out-of-pocket.
I'm not a lawyer either; I should make that clear up front. I'm a law student in my last term, and I'll be a lawyer in six months. What this means is that I know enough to get the ball rolling here, and I also know of a law professor at my school- the Uni'versity of Michigan- who has done extensi've research on class action litigation and litigated several cases on the plaintiff's side himself. If the suit looks viable, I can approach him about signing on as the attorney, and he knows his business. Alternati'vely, we could pass off the suit to Girard Gibbs, the firm that successfully forced Apple into settlement over the iPod battery issue.
I think we have several legal recourses here, although I'm still doing some preliminary research. If it looks like I can put together a claim that will at least survi've summary judgment- and I'm pretty confident I can under at least two theories of liability- then I might just go ahead and file it pro se and then file for joinder or class certification later.
I expect Creative's response to this is going to be that they disclaimed all implied warranties in their warranty, including the warranty of merchantability. This obviously won't work in many jurisdictions that forbid manufacturers from contracting out of this warranty. It also has practical problems.
For those unfamiliar with the term, the implied warranty of merchantability is a general warranty that you offer buyers when you are a dealer of a certain kind of product which states that this product will function at least as well as the average kind of product on the market for its purpose. So here, Creative's implied warranty is that their MP3 players should perform as MP3 players at least as well as others. That is, the Micro should work about the same as the mini iPod; they won't be exactly the same, but the point is that they'll at least both play MP3s.
The practical problem I mentioned is that by arguing that their warranty disclaims this implied warranty of merchantability, Creative is basically telling consumers that they don't guarantee that their products will work AT ALL.
What I need to know from YOU is the following, if you would be interested in signing on as a plaintiff.
) What kind of player you have that has this problem.
2) When you purchased it.
3) How long after you purchased it that the problem started.
4) Where you li've (right now, please only respond to this is you're in the USA and bought it here)
5) Where you bought it.
6) If anyone from Creative indicated that Creative knew about this problem.
Please do NOT use this thread to talk about other problems with the Micro or other players; I'm only interested right now in headphone jack problems with ANY player.
I may add more to this as I do more research. I'd also say that if you've been dealing with Creative on this issue and are interested in pursuing litigation either on your own or as part of a class, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. I'd say go for email help instead of phone when possible, because this will provide written documentation of Creative's policies. If you have the know-how and ability to backup the threads on this board about this problem, please do that as well. Creative may eventually delete these posts, including this one, so if that happens we need to be prepared.
I'm hoping none of this is necessary, that Creative will issue a recall and offer free repairs and some sort of compensation to its customers as some sort of good-faith gesture on its part. But given Creative's slow response, this may be the thing that finally brings their quality control problems to light.
Thanks.JK23 wrote:

The Zen Micro is a very popular MP3 player. Statistics on the percentage of Zen Micros that have had a headphone jack problem are not publicly available. The percentage might be very small. We also don't have any idea about how the users who have had a problem treated their players. My guess is that on average they probably treated their players quite roughly. When you come to this forum you will see that a large percentage of those who are posting are having problems. When you visit a hospital, you will see that a very large percentage of those who have been admitted are quite ill. One shouldn't reach the conclusion that most humans are very ill after visiting a hospital.
For everyones attention: one of those links does not work, plus not one of the iPods are new ones. One of them is a third generation iPod - the rest seem to be second generation - one is possibly a first generation iPod. Come one, dude - you can find better links than that!
We are talking the Micro here. You know, the kinda NEW player from Creative.Message Edited by Mattias on 05-23-2005 07:5 PM -
The Ipod Headphone Jack fit is very loose
The Ipod headphone jack fit is very loose. What if anything can be done to rectify this issue?
Have you tried another pair of headphones? If yes the solution is to excahnge the iPod for a refurbished one from Apple for:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
Or go to a thir-party plice to have them replace the headphone jack. Here is one:

I just bought a Nokia X6 the other day off dell, and so far im liking the phone. My only concern is that the headphone jack seems to be a little loose, as none of my headphones ive tried stay put very well. The slightest tug seems to pull the headphones out and are especially annoying when im listening to music. I was wondering if this is a common defect or not, and if there is anyway to fix it?
I too suffer from the same issue....
i have had the phone replaced.... 2 times in 2 weeks and still its the same...
i get the usual support questions from my mobile provider, one guy sent me new headphones which means he clearly didnt understand.
the issue...
the 'block' on top of the phone that houses the charger and 3.5mm H/phone jack is extremely loose when they're connected... its not the jack itself, its the 'block' thats moving.
if you gently squeeze the phone with your thumb and index finger covering the ear piece the 'block' barely moves.
leads me to the conclusion that 1 of 2 things is happening.. either the design is flawed or the manufacturing of the phone was rushed or poorly quality checked.
nokia i leave this with you to investigate.
i'm heading to the shop now to get my 3rd one. -
I was listening to music on my Iphone one day with my beats, while I unplug my headphones the metal part that surrounds the headphone jack of my Iphone also comes out and is lost. None of my headphone jacks can fit into the iphone without it being loose and falling out. Is there anywhere or way I can get this resovled ?
Sure, get the headphone jack replaced. Or do an Out-of-Warranty replacement at your nearest Apple Store for $199 USD.

I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm microphone and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lectures to my mac book pro. The mac book does not have 3.5mm jacks. Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?
Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
& mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

3.5mm headphone jack also optical?
A long time ago, I read somewhere that the 3.5mm headphone jack on some Apple devices is also an OPTICAL port. In other words, one of these adapters can output via TOSLINK cable to my hi-fi stereo optical in. Is it true for the iPad Air? Howz about the iPad Air 2?
That's probably why I can't find the spec for it.
But what Apple device has it? Any? -
Headphone jack: normal headphones dont fit
I tried to plug headphones in to my computer the other day, but ran into a problem: the headphone jack on the computer is too small for standard headphines! I dont understand this at all... I thought there was only one size of headphone jack. I tried two pair of headphones, both normal ones that fit into Iphones and everything else I have ever used them on. Are there special headphones for HP? When I googled this problem, I couldnt find anything.
Hi @Cath676 .
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 11 x360 PC and issues with the Headphone or earbud not fitting. Your notebook supports a device cable that has a 4-conductor
connector that supports audio-out.
Your manual page 12 shows the head-phone jack located in the middle of your volume control and usb port on the left side of the Notebook.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Broken headphone jack! 3.5mm dillemma. Help. Please.
Hi.
So my headphone jack has broken off clean into two pieces.
The trouble is the 3.5mm jack protuberant is now stuck inside my iTouch and due to the amazing self-locking mechanism of earphone/headphone ends, it will not come out, whatever I do.
Tweezers have not helped, neither has a small magnet.
I'm glad I gave up on the magnet for I have now come to know that the hdd is right next to the earphone socket.
Anyway, I need help.
How do I get that broken-piece out of the socket?!
Please. Help.
Many thanks, in advance.
- AP.Guys,
It is done! It's out! I have achieved what surely seemed impossibe. I mean the things I tried with my iPod Touch, be it tweezers, pliers, glues, toothpicks, ear-buds.
I read about all of these wondorous ideas and plans online, to take out that unholy peice of metal lodged in my iTouch socket.
But anyway, yesterday you guys gave me some good tips. I was about half-way in the decision making process of making appointment with The Store and almost about ready to dive into what Alex suggested up here.
But then this evening, something made me go back to glue.
Glue, the creation of the century. Or well, maybe last century, or the one before that, I'm not sure when glue was dicovered/invented.
Anyway, getting to the point. It's out.
All I did, was make another failed attempt with the squared-off end of a tooth-pick dipped is some superglue. Like always, it stuck to the little golden 1mm protuberant like a charm. One pull, and it came off, while the thing was still lodged inside.
I went back to the headphones. I saw the broken off jack and realized, there was a bit of a cavity at the point where the jack had broken off. So I gave a tiny squeeze to the superglue pen and filled the cavity with just about a single drop of glue. Next, I rammed the headphone jack back into the socket.
I swear I wasn't expecting anything to happen. Barely 10 seconds into the "Eureka attempt", I don't know what came over me and I just pulled on the cord.
And there it was! IT WAS OUT.
Simple. Effective.
The solution always is right next to the where the problem began.
I should add, the speaker on the iTouch works fine, like everything else.
BUT, when I plugged in my new headphones, there's no output to the RIGHT channel.
I must say, this makes me sad. I don't know if I messed up something with the glue or pliers. Can't say.
I might have done some damage to those tiny silver dot like things on the socket wall which act like the self-locking mechanism for earphones/headphones.
Anyway, if it does end up working again, I'll be sure to let you guys know.
Many thanks again for the help.
Cheers.

Headphone jack fits bose but not beats
i have and Early 2011 13" Macbook Pro, My Bose headphones cord fits in the jack, but my Beats headphone cord wont, but both cords fit and work in my iphone and other jacks perfectly.
The built-in speakers and microphone should also be able to work with Windows default High Definition Audio Driver. Have tested out on my W520. alex1906 have already typed out on how to test out whether your device is working or not.
Have a nice day!

Loose Connection Headphone Jack MacBook
I was having difficulty with 3 pairs of headphones that I own. Upon insertion into the MacBook aluminum headphone jack, I would only get a very loose connection. A slight wiggle would disconnect headphone sound and revert to internal speakers.
I went to the Apple store today in Toronto, and tested a few of their units on display. Same thing I even tested using the headphones sold at the store (BOSE noise canceling - $249.00). Same problem. Just pulling out ever so slightly, ruined the connection...
Anyone else had this problem?? I'm totally surprised there's not more about this out there...I reported the problem within two weeks of receiving the first macbook and then within a week of receiving the second - apple has a period of "remorse" whereby if you decide you are not happy with your purchase you can return it less a restocking fee - in my case, since it was a clear failing of the machine, they waived the restocking fee and gave me a full refund
I should add that I bought mine from the online apple store - the support and sales staff were very helpful - the video that I put online made it crystal clear what the problem was
before deciding whether to take a third macbook or the full refund I asked them to check with the technical department whether this was a known issue (it wasn't) and I also made a trip to a local reseller to see if I'd just had bad luck or it was a widespread problem (all the unibody macbooks and macbook pros exhibited the same behaviour)
I had been waiting to upgrade to a smaller form macbook that I had long hoped for. The release of the unibody macbook seemed initially to be the answer to these hopes - albeit with no firewire and a poorer quality screen than I expected. I decided I could live with these shortcomings but the macbook as it stands is unusable for me due to this headphone socket issue. Rather than wait for a fix to this unrecognised issue I decided to buy a previous revision macbook pro. Better a last revision mac product than a first revision - pity because otherwise the new macbook was great.
