IPhone 3GS headphone jack only plays through one earpiece?
The music only plays through one side I think it's the left. When listening to something it only plays through one side of the headphones over head and and in ear. The headphones I use are terrible anyway but with a 200 odd pound device this shouldn't be the case. It I twist it and hold it in place it plays through both but the headphones work perfectly fine on my laptop so I'm guessing it's my IPhone 3GS jack. It seems quite typical of Apple devices as its happened to my iPod 2nd and 3rd gen, my friends iPhone 4 and now my iPhone 3GS.
Anybody know how I can fix it myself or something along those lines as I don't have £20 or so lying around to get it fixed professionally.
Headphone jacks get messed up after a few years of use especially if you wrap the earphones around your phone and put them in your pocket. I pushed my earphones in really hard and then took them out. Then i put them in again and they started working normally again if you would like to try that.
Once the wires are broken they need rewireing fully, find a apple store they will replace them free.
This means that the contact is wearing thin, take some fine sandpaper and wrap it around the part of the headphones that goes in the phone, and sand it down. This ruffs up the metal. I can tell this is the problem because it works if you twist it. If it is the part on the inside of the phone you can replace it yourself. Use youtube videos so you know how, you have to pull the screen off to get to the speakers though.
- Somehow, a huge piece of the headphone jack got stuck in the headphone port, and I can't find any I think the headphone type is just a normal iPhone headphone. So ground, audio, mic and some of the plastic, or whatever it is, around it, got stuck in there, and it's not super deep, probably because it's almost the whole headphone jack, but it's still in there. Someone please help! I can't find anything! It's just the headphone jack tip that got stuck for everyone else! It's a laptop.
- Only one speaker on my iPhone 4s plays music? I'm new to iPhone's, and I just got this phone 3 days ago. I have never dropped it, but it sounds like only the right speaker on the bottom of the phone plays music. Is this normal? Should I get it checked?
- My Iphone 4s Headphone Jack has light leaking through the hole? I recently got my Iphone 4s. I'm not up to date. LOL. Anyway, I have an issue with my new Iphone 4s. I don't know why, but for some reason there's light that emits/leak through my Iphone 4s headphone jack. It only happens when I turn my iphone 4s screen on. Is this normal? Anyone enc ountering the same issue? I'm a bit paranoid since this is a new phone that I'm getting from an Apple Store.
- Music only plays out of right headphone on iPhone 4? Okay i know it's not the headphone because I have tried multiple headphones and I have also tried it on different iPhones and for some reason all of them only play music out of the right headphone or if I put it over a sound system it only plays out of the right speaker? Has this happened to anyone before or know how to fix it?
