headphone jack not working problem continues on my Z3 phone , Z3 Tablet.

I've once made a thread about my 3.5mm Jack on my phone , a green coating was on the jack and it didn't work. This time its on BOTH of my devices. The jack only works after rinsing it with water , only then i can connect the headphones .

I've did everything

Blowing inside the jack ,

Tried Cleaning the data from Smart Connect

After the jack dries up from water , the headphones disconnect and i am unable to connect it again.

I would imagine it's not your fault unless it's been submerged in chemical water.

No 

My first sony xperia z3 has a crack and never been submerged in water and has the green thing

My Second z3 was in a swimming pool 1ns and i wash it under the tap (fresh water)  when its dirty so like once a few weeks

My z3 tablet was in rain,  snow,  swimming pool and once dropped for few seconds in a hot soap bath but the water didnt even come into the jack then. 

So i guess i can go for a warranty repair for all my 3 devices,  but how did that happen??  If i come with a replaced jack will it happen again??  My z1 never had such issue,  it was in swimming pool,  my hot water bath it was dropped few times,  it was in rain many times,  it was in snow, under the tap,  in the fountain i even took it to sea water (salt) and NEVER had a issue with a jack

In the link posted on the 1st page it says there are factors which cause this - To quote "The major factors that control the initial rate of attack on copper, and that cause copper to oxidize, are moisture, temperature, and the level of pollution."

Yeah it did,  but in my area what could cause this. Moisture?  I dont think so temperature??  Or pollution???   I mean...  I just dont know how could this happen. I live near a forest and the air is always fresh. No chemical water submersion
