Headphone jack problem

Saadahm3d — Sun, 14 Feb 2016 12:11:54 GMT

So I dropped my phone a few days ago and it didn't fall that hard and there was no scratches or dents but the next day when I put my headphones in they didn't work but work everywhere else and other headphoes didn't work either. So it clicked that they might be dirt so I put water in the hole and it started working but when I plugged it out and plugged it in it didn't work. So whenever I want tuse it I have to put water in the hole. Is there a solution?

first, you should not plug anything to the phone when it is wet.
have you tried using the other headphones? ( i know it works with other devices but just try,)
try to clear data of the smart connect app

try to restart your phone,.

as you have said you dropped your phone, something might have jarred inside, so it is better to have your phone checked at your local service center,.

@Ebie

I got your message, you don't jailbreak androids, you root them, and that's the only way other than a custom ROM to change the font, unless you want to change the font on a specific app, sometimes it allow you to do so.

Hi
Thanks for you response, lol, yes i meant root. I actually wanted to change the font in my messages and whatapp, but i will have to wait till the warranty expires before i can root my phone then.
Thanks again.
