Z5 Premium Headset Not working

[Makss]

Hello All

I bought a Z5 Premium from Amazon and got it in the US. The phone arrived in original packing, but the headphone port does not work. I have tried many headphones with it with no luck. If I shove it and jiggle it and wiggle it, one of the headphones work for a small duration but then stops. If I use soundabout, then I can force audio to the audio port. If I enable soundabout to detect whether headset is plugged in or not, then it doesnt detect headset. I have disabled that detection feature. It is awful to have a $700 phone and now i cant use headset !!  Anyone...any suggestions...please help...I have tried soft reset, hard reset, uninstalling smart connect ...and many different solutions provided....nothing works. HELPPPPP

Keep us updated, if that doesn't work, you will have to contact Amazon .

The worst part is that there is no warranty on it 😞 . Its an international seller ..so pretty much its $700 down the drain ...

Phone reset is complete...Keeping fingers crossed...going to turn it on now

Did not work :-((( . I plugged in a very old headset and it worked. The new headset which came with phone, nor the ones I got from  Samsung is not being recognized. The one which worked is the one in which the pin has 2 rings..The ones with 3 rings is not working ! I dont know what is wrong with this phone ,,,:smileysad:

I'm sorry to hear that, you might have to send it back to amazon

As uliwooly said, back to the Amazon seller.
Although your warranty is not applicable due to region restrictions, your Amazon A to Z guarantee will still cover you.
