Sony xperia Z1 left earplug dead

RyNkA · Jan 17, 2014

Like title, anyone having similar situation like that ??? 3 normal headset has been tested, basically the phone has something to do with that. Did factory reset and all stuff, nothing works.

There were lots of people suffering that with the same pattern as mine with just left earplug

Last option is to send the phone toward service, i really want to avoid that since i won't be in Australia for a while.

I had this happen to me.
I tried with two different headsets.

Turns out both headsets were broken and the phone was fine.
Maybe that's the case for you too.

Did you try a bluetooth handset? Anyway I know you are in complicated situation but in this case the best thing is send it back to repair via warranty.

I wouldn't be that sure.. I had the same problem, left audio channel didn't work in headphones. I tried 3 different headsets. That problem was in the phone. I've sent it to a repair centre and they replaced my while unit because they couldn't fix the issue. So I would send it in for repair with this problem. I know I did and got a replacement phone.

3 handset and all the same problem? 100% faulty device or jack, send it back to repair.

Could be, though i had this issue before with different devices and its always the headset

Of course i guess you can't discard the phone as a culprit

Maybe you should find a way to verify it for free before sending it in for repairs

Same case, it was dirt

Hi guys, don't send it back to repair, I had the same problem but i stuck in a needle to clean the plug and a lot of dirt came out, tried again the earplugs and they were working fin in both sides!:good::good:

Watch out with sticking a needle in the headphone jack! There's some special coating in it to make it waterproof! I guess that a needle can make destroy this coating!

Not entirely too late, at least it helped me.

Been trying to find a solution for this same problem and was beginning to think a repair was needed.
Just to confirm...with a needle, after clearing out a clump of fluff sound now plays through both earphones of the 5 different headsets that wouldn't work before.

For anyone else trying to fix this problem either now or in the future, its at least worth a try.

Thanks rvzek

I've noticed that my left earplug have lower volume than the right one. Did someone had this problem?

I cannot remember what caused this, but it's only on the Sony headset and not other. Others are working fine.
