Headphones no longer plug into my phone

[David231]

Hi

My headphones no longer fit into the socket on the phone. They used to fit fine but now do not. It is a standard headphone socket. I had tried my headphones on other devices and they fit fine and I have tried other headphones on my phone and habe the same problem.

Not sure what I can do about this?

Check carefully inside your headphone socket as I'd guess some foreign object is stuck in there.

Is the headphone socket blocked with fluff? You could try gently cleaning with a cocktail stick or similar. If this doesn't work, then you need to send or take it for repair.

Unless it's under warranty?

I figured something was stuck inside it.

Couldn't be anything else from your description
