Is the earphone jack on the iPhone supposed to be slightly loose?

Is the earphone jack on the iPhone supposed to be slightly loose?

Probably not, but "loose" is probably subjective. Nitty gritty - if it works, it works, and you have no problem.

  • Why does the earphone jack on the HPdv7 NOT work when on the notebook stand and using replicator?

    My Pavilion dv9815nr let me plug my earphones into the pc while it was on the desk extender or stand, and the sound of the speakers would be cut out -- which was especially a good idea late in the evening and helped keep peace in the family.  I liked this VISTA machine very much and was quite happy with it for not quite 3 years.  Unfortunately, the Optical drive gave out, or at least the BUS died and the techies recommended the purchase of a new machine since a repair was apparently expensive.  In order to stay closely to the concept of a full keyboard laptop using a notebook stand with wireless keyboard and mouse, I bought end March a Paviliion dv7 as a replacement machine.  Other than a series of minor mishaps, most of the problems were encountered with the peripherals and I am on a second wireless keyboard, mouse and replicator.  Also a number of odd occurrences related to audio were fixed by obtaining the proper drivers. but now I have encountered something that appears to be simply sloppy design.  When this laptop is in use on the notebook stand and linked to the replicator, the earphone jack on the left side of the PC is dead.  The jack works fine and cuts out the speakers when the USB lead for the replicator is removed.  There is a very impractical solution to the problem and that consists of plugging the earphone mini-plug into the jack located on the replicator.  Since the replicator has a niche location on the back of the notebook stand, this is not a very practical solution.  Any good ideas to get around this?

    I went through the installation where the bar shows the percentages downloaded and installed. Once it shows 100% it asks me to click Finish. I do. Then I go to yahoo to check and it continues to show that the plugin is missing and that I need to download Adobe Flash which I thought that I just did. Am I missing something in terms of installing??

  • Is the earphone jack REALLY standard?

    I have a Curve 8900 and I love everything about it except the earphone jack. When I first got it a few months ago, I didn't notice the problem because it works fine with the standard Blackberry earphone (3-ring). Then I tried plugging another standard 3.5" earphone (2-ring) and it wouldn't fit. I thought it was just a Blackberry quirk, but then I tried it with my sister's Curve 8900 and the 2-ring earphone fit just fine with hers.
    So I went to the mobile provider where I got the Blackberry from (StarHub in Singapore). The customer support person tried plugging a third-party earphone to a 8900 unit she had on stock and it wouldn't fit. She thought it was strange, but she didn't have another phone on stock so she asked me to wait. When I finally got a replacement unit, the earphone jack worked fine for exactly 1 day. Now I've tried three non-Blackberry earphones and none would fit (the standard Blackberry earphone still works). The phone has been in a rubber case and it wasn't dropped, bumped or anything.
    I went back again to StarHub. The customer service person tried my non-Blackberry earphone to a different 8900 phone on stock and it wouldn't fit. She concluded that the 8900 could only work with the standard Blackberry earphone that comes in the box and that she couldn't help me any further.
    So I've come across 4 out 5 Curve 8900 units that don't work with a non-Blackberry earphone. Is the earphone jack really a standard 3.5"?

  • What connector type is used to plug a guitar into the iPad?  Does it connect to the earphone jack?

    What connector type is used to plug a guitar into an iPad?  Does it connect to the earphone jack?

    Actually you can get something like this from your local mac store. http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irig/ It plugs right into the earphone jack and works fine (I own this model and it works well on the go). For my actual mac, I use a Monster iStudioLink, which I have heard will work with the iPad 2 (but with some bugs - see the comments on the Monster website) http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=2440

  • Why is the headphone jack on the bottom?

    I was really excited for the iPhone 5 but now I don't think I'll be getting one.  For me, changing the location of the headphone jack is entirely unnecessary.  I've been reading up on this, and the only reason I can find for it is because people say it's more "natural" to put their phone in their pocket upside down; this doesn't make any sense to me!  Is it really that hard to move your arm straight down to your pocket with your wrist straight instead of only rotating your elbow?  I find it irritating that I would have to store the phone upside down in my pocket, and that would just make it harder to adjust the volume or flick the vibrate on without taking it out of my pocket.  That's something I do all the time: walk into a classroom or theater, and need to make sure my phone is on silent without pulling it out and drawing attention to myself.
    I also get that you can lay the phone flat on a desk and have the headphone cord hang off the edge.  But what about when I have the phone propped up?  I guess I can't do that anymore.  I also can't leave it upright in a cupholder while I drive.
    I've been an iPhone user because I like how professional and uniform Apple products look.  But storing and displaying my phone upside down destroys that asthetic for me.  I know some people will say that orientation is a stupid thing to quibble about, but Steve Jobs was known to obsess over far smaller things (I'm not saying this was one of them), and that's what makes Apple products so well thought-out.
    So what is the point of putting the headphone jack on the bottom?  Can anyone give me a real reason that I can support?  I really want to be able to get excited about this phone, but at this point I think it's unfortunately a deal-breaker for me.

    Goldplatedrock, i agree with you. This is not an over reaction. Steve Jobs was meticulous with design and usability - and i am sure he would NOT have accepted the headphone jack going to the bottom. He was known to scrap designs 6 weeks before the first iphone was about to hit the market.
    It really is a a terrible move but i think they had to move it for engineering reasons.
    It has even been moved on the new ipod touch.
    Think of all the car holders and desk docking stations that will not be able to be used when wanting to keep the headphones connected. Plus upside down in your pocket? - that really *****.
    I also wonder how the new lightining connector will hold up the whole phone with accessories like speakers - it will not be able to hold it up.
    Steve come back..............

  • I connected my brand new iPod Classic 160 GB to my brand new Sony home entertainment system through the headphone jack (to the audio line in). The volume is ridiculously low. Can somebody help me out here?

    I connected my brand new iPod Classic 160 GB to my brand new Sony home entertainment system through the headphone jack (to the audio line in). The volume is ridiculously low. Can somebody help me out here?

    Make sure the volume on the iPod is turned up fully, since this will affect what you hear through the stereo.
    Make sure Volume Limit is set to full. (From Main Menu, Settings/Volume Limit)
    If you purchased your iPod inside the EU (European Union), then the maximum volume from the headphone jack is lower than elsewhere in the world. If this is the case, buy yourself a 30-pin Dock Connector to 3.5mm jack lead, such as the one linked here...
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Decrescent-Connector-Stereo-Auxiliary-iPhone/dp/B007NIE5 EE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386012456&sr=8-1&keywords=30+pin+to+3.5mm
    That connector will take a higher volume out (than the European Union's output) and that will be louder (and hopefully loud enough) through your stereo.

  • Is there a difference between the earphone output and the audio output of the docking connector, or is it in fact the same signal ?

    Is there a difference between the earphone output and the audiooutput of the docking connector of the iphone 4, or is it in fact the same signal ?

    One basic difference is that the LTE frequencies each is able to operate on are different. After that, it is pretty much the same phone. Others might be able to add to this.

  • I've upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and my Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 Speakers were working fine until today, and now they won't play any sound at all, even though iTunes shows the audio is playing. I've tried both the headphone jack and the USB port. Please help!

    Thank you,

    Michael,
    Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
    As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
    Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
    Best regards,
    David

  • Question about the Headphone Jacks on the DDTS-100

    This is probably a strange question, but I am goona ask anyway...
    Anyone know whether the headphone jacks on the DDTS-100 gets Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Pro Logic II? I know it supports it for speakers, but I am unsure about headphones.
    I am considering buying this with Medusa 5.1 Headphones, and I am trying to figure out whether the Dolby Pro Logic II would work with those.
    From what I understand regular 5.1 Headphones do not use the 5 channels unless it is a 5 channel source like a DVD. What I am thinking is that the Dolby Pro Logic II on the decoder might solve that?
    Would this work?
    Thanks for your time!

    Thank you both very much for your help!
    Yes, I was considering pluging it in exactly as ya just mentioned connecting the headphones via the speaker ports, since the Medusa Headphones do have the same plugs as the 5.1 speakers.
    Soo, that might work then? Cool! ty
    Now that I look at it, the headphones instructions on the cords on the net mentions pluging it in exactly like that.
    Thanks again!,

  • I have a problem when I receive calls I can not hear well or when it cuts, like when I pass calls. I have to put the earphone. someone has the same problem?

    I have a problem when I receive calls I can not hear well or when it cuts, like when I pass calls. I have to put the earphone. someone has the same problem?

    I solved it myself, after the "note" which came back from FF/Mozilla just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system had , I wnnt back to check my plug-ins etc. I downloaded the latest Java, BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit versions and latest Firefox.
    Now all is working.
    Thanks,

  • Unable to insert earphones jack in the audio port

    I am unable to insert the earphoen jack completely into the audio port.

    You may want to clean it since debris could be in there. Otherwise I blame the headphone jack, which may be too short or not of the correct size (3.5mm). So a "mobile" headset would not fit because the diameter is 2.5mm

  • Can i just have apple replace the earphone jack on my ipod classic 160gb; nothing else?

    I really don't want to spend $150 on replacing a 10-20 dollar part. I just want them to replace the part, nothing else.

    Apple doesn't actually repair iPod, but does an out of warranty exchange of it for a refurbished model of the same generation and capacity.
    So if you want just the headphone jack fixed, you'll need to find a third party iPod repair service. Google "iPod headphone jack repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • Does The Headphone Jack on the mac book air also work with microphone

    (MacBook Air) Does The headphone Jack work as a microphone jack like the MacBook Pro does

    The current MacBook Air uses a TRRS 3.5 mm mini jack, just like the iPhone. As long as the intended device (headphone/microphone) is compatible with this jack standard, you are fine.
    TRRS (tip, ring, ring, sleeve)
    You can also buy adapters that will "split" the connections into separate Mic and speaker channels, for use with recording equipment using other jacks. Say, for instance you have a microphone that uses a 1/4" jack.
