Thank you so much for this. I did manage to do it without compressed air just using the toothpick
Literally saved my life. I have a Redmi 8 pro and i bought this in-ear headphones, I noticed that I had a difference between the audio volume in the left headphone and the right headphone, so I thought it was a headphones problem and tried another pair of it, same thing. That makes me feel so angry so I searched this tutorial, damn easy, thanks man
Same problem here except instead of using different headphones, I put my headphones into a different device and they worked perfectly fine with that one, just not with my phone- that's when I knew it was my phone. Did this and it worked! Such a simple solution for something so annoying, so glad google reccomend this video for me🎉
Thank you so much!!!! My daughter’s IPAD Aux was really dirty. Couldn’t even get the Aux cable in… cleaned it with a toothpick now it works great!!!!
Thanks for the video, you saved me some big bucks, I thought I was gonna have to get a new phone, I'll subscribe to show my appreciation
Damn never thought of a toothpick lol thanks alot man. Dropped that like.
@@JMGENTERPRISES I was surprised at the amount of dust inside probably like 3-4 years of buildup haha
@@JMGENTERPRISES Hey I wanted to ask, if I just blow into it would it work the same? Because I don't think i have one of those air thingies that you used.
Be VERY cautious when using compressed air. You want to make sure to avoid getting it on your skin or especially in your eye. If misused it can cause skin damage or even frostbite
Thanks so much I tried a couple of things and they didn't work but this did
WOW. Who would of thought? Thank you for valuable info. Simple but effective.
if you dont have compressed air just hold the phone upright instead of upside down while ur wiggling the toothpick around in the port and all the lint will fall right out.
Thought the woodpick would damage the insides but it didn't. Instead of using compressed air I just blew really hard into the port and it worked. The port is saved! (for now)
I had a lot of lint compacted in mine over a few months working outside around dirt along with compacting it myself by trying to force the cable in further, so this wasn't as easy as it was for you
advice,
the inside of the jack has 2 shelves(?) before it gets to the end the bottom (like how your audio cable ends are shaped). Feel for those, and scrape around them.
I used a paper clip and just blew into it.
Any alternatives to the compressed air? Amazon in my country is quite bad and most stores sell it for too much money
@@JMGENTERPRISES I was actually able to just blow it out myself and didn't need to use compressed air or risk damaging my phone
Bro i just did it saved time and money the toothpick works... alot of dust in mine now it clicks in and function thanks! 😎
I did what you said but now when plug headphones into phone the volume cant be heard on headphones or phone but the music is stil playing as if you would hear it on the headphones. Any idea what happened or what i can do now ?
Sorry for the delayed response. I am not sure. What did you use to clean the port?
Hi, came to this video because as expected, my aux port doesn't work. I remember it working but I haven't used it for like half a year and today I wanted to use it but it doesn't work. Tried using the headphones on different device and they work. The problem is that I have been on like 5 websites to fix this and none of the tips work, neither this one. Tried cleaning the aux, restarting phone, checking if there are any connected bluetooth devices, checking audio setting etc. but none of these work. Do you know what I could to or do I have to go get it repaired?
Has there been any water exposure? You could always bring it into a cell phone repair place for a free diagnostic.
Is this because of the headphones or my phone? I bough earphones and after a week they stopped hearing completely, i teist the plug snd get a few noise on one ear before going back to not being able to hear, anyways clean it but just concerned.
It's just lint getting pushed into the jack and compacting over time by the headphones. It just kind of happens over time.
Is there an alternative to compressed air, cuz i dont really have that im only a kid
An egg broke in my pocket and my phone thinks theres something plugged in aux cords work but no audio w out it help
@@JMGENTERPRISES it didn't seem to bad I immediately put a q tip in there but idk I'll still try
here's the thing. my earphones goes tru my laptop just fine but when it comes to my phone it doesn't work, ive tried cleaning it already and still doesn't work.
A bug crawled into my phones aux
When i put my head phone it crushed the bug. Now it's mushy in there
Now it just doesn't register my headphones at all so maybe this isn't good advise.
I used a metal neddle...i think i damages the thing
@@JMGENTERPRISES never mind false alarm, the biggest problem was in my phones after all, i used a damn screw before i used the neddle so i thought i was done for XD, maybe it has so much dust at the bottom that it protected it from the screw
I wonder what happened to mine, it says its connected to a headphone but nothing is connected to it😢😢😢 i hope someone has a solution for this:(
It did not work I think there's something wrong with the internals in my headset
Do you have any idea what I should do if I got s drop of milk in there? Headphone mode doesnt turn on now.
I've seen someone else do it using alcohol and a cotton swab I think this is safer .
Don't EVER put a toothpick in your phone's audio jack as it will cause permanent damage to your phone's audio jack. If the audio jack doesn't work on your phone, get it fixed by someone who is qualified to fix stuff like that, and have them fix it, or better yet, get a new phone.
Appreciate you sharing your opinion. I've used toothpicks for years and have never had issues.
that's gonna have to be my option this shitty phone is done time to get a new one
Worked like a charm! Thanks! I thought my headphone days were done for!
Happy I could help!
