HTC One M8. Had about 2 years. Not willing to trade in at this time. Phone jack has always worked as it was supposed to. A few weeks ago it started not recognizing when I plugged in the earbuds into the jack. It would take a few ins and outs to make it work. Then progressively more. Now, it takes several minutes and doesn't always work before I give up.
Is there a way to force android to play music to the phone jack regardless if the phone thinks there is anything plugged in? Any way to fix the issue besides a new phone or major repair? I have tried to clean the jack (both male and female parts) and no change. I hear a crackling when I put the jack in and out, but the phone does not acknowledgment that it was inserted.
Any help would be appreciated. I love my phone otherwise and feel a bit frustrated that my only option may be to buy a new phone... which means a $700 phone only lasted me 2 years. That's ridiculous.
