Left earbud/side won't work

Hi. 
My Z3 Compact won't play music on the left side when using speakers/earbuds.
I have tried "cleansing" it with water, since it's waterproof.. to make sure any small particels maybe could be causing the issue. 
The left side will play some times, 1 out of 20 tries basically - and sometimes i just makes a cracking noise in the left earbud.
Anyone else had this issue? I really do not want to ship it in for a warranty repair, because im lazy...

  • How do you delete songs on your iPhone without using iTunes on your computer? Swiping to the left or right won't work on mine.

    I've tried deleting my songs but it didn't work. It worked last time. Sliding it wont work anymore. I've spent hours trying to figure out how to delete songs.

    Swiping left to right or right to left should work if you're in the right place.
    For example, try it in Music > Songs (button in lower right).

  • Wireless Keyboard backspace working in the opposite direction. Left Shift key won't work on T or I

    Hi Everyone,
    I have scanned the boards for hours and have found that there are several keyboard issues, but they all seem to be unique.
    So this is my issue:
    My keyboard which came with my iMac (late 2009) has decided that it has a mind of its own.
    The left hand shift key will not work for T or I and the backspace button will not work in correct direction.
    I have tried my keyboard on my iMac and my Macbook Pro with no success.
    So if anyone has any suggestion it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Is it possible that you have inadvertently switched to a different keyboard layout? Open System Preferences, then click on the Language & Text preferences. Within the Language & Text preferences click on the 'Input Sources'. You should see a long list of languages representing the various keyboard layouts that are available. Make sure that only the keyboard language you use is selected. If there are multiple languages selected then de-select the extras.
    If you continue to have problems then check the 'Show input menu in menu bar' checkbox in the lower section of the preference pane. This will place an icon in the upper right menu bar (it looks like a flag representing the language you have chosen for your input device) that provides additional options. I suggest selecing the 'Show Keyboard Viewer' option and then try pressing the keys that you are having problems with to see how they show up on the keyboard viewer graphic. If you've set the correct language for your keyboard and the key sequences still don't match, then you may need to take your keyboard in for service. Better yet, borrow another keyboard to confirm that the keyboard is the issue.

    How does your left earbud not work with other earbuds?  Do you mean the left earbud doesn't work with your iPod?

    Hello lillibitt67
                               To rule out any Software issue I prefer you should Reload your Device Software and see if that helps otherwise you need to contact your Service provider for repair.So please try it first.

  • The left side of my iPad mini's screen won't work.

    I was wondering if there were any other people that have had this problem as no topics came up under what I had typed.  The left hand side of my iPad mini will not respond to touch.  A hard reboot won't solve it and don't want to factory reset unless I have to.
    Any solutions?

    Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • My iPad2 side switch is acting up, it will only allow me to have either sound or rotate. If I unmute the rotate won't work, if I mute the rotate works. How can I get the iPad to unmute and rotate? I have restored, downloaded updates and rebooted.

    You should be able to control the function that the side switch isn't controlling via the left-hand end of the taskbar : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085 - is the icon that appears there (notification mute or rotation lock) indicating that that function is 'off' ?

  • Key binding won't work with alt-up and alt-left arrow combined

    I was playing with key binding trying to create a small app where a timer is started with the press of an alt-arrow key and stopped when the key is released. The timers append Strings to a JTextArea telling which alt-arrow key is currently pressed.
    This program works, and in fact if you press a combination of any two keys, both timers will work simultaneously, that is unless you press both up arrow and left arrow together. Can anyone see a bug in the program that explains why it won't work for these two particular keys when combined? Thanks in advance, Pete

    Yes indeed. I suppose (as always) I should have searched the forum first before asking the question. Thanks for the link and info.

    My sound won't work on my ipad even though the sound is up and the button at the side is on volume? Any ideas. For ipad 2

    They will replace it with a refurb of like kind if the problem is deemed to be hardware related and not caused by misue. They will probably try restoring the device and troubleshoot it on their own before they replace it for you .... And I'm talking about an Apple Store here.
    You should probably try this next.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

  • My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while on Spotify. Volume max. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps. Works with earpods.

    My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while I was listening on Spotify. Volume was maxxed out. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps (Soundcloud, NPR, Clash of Clans). There are sounds when I attached my earpods. I tried the switch to mono solution on the other threads, didn't help either.
    My iPad is generally muted because of classes, but when I un-mute it it works fine. It just stopped after one song, and now I can't get it to work. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Hi!
    I've the same issue after updating to iOS 8.3. on iPad 3.
    sound is working properly only with headphones attached.
    when I tap on AirPlay button it says "Docking connector" while it should "iPad"
    when i play with sound settings and try to change e.g. some alert sounds, sound is played and volume slider in control center magically appears.
    any other app can't play sound.
    is there any fix for that?
    Thanks
