headphone jack not working

[HaiderAli97]

I recently bought a new Xperia Z1...
Had great time using it but suddenly on one unfortunate day, I found out that the phone no more recognizes any headphone.
.
I tried to clean the headphone jack.. AND it worked but after 3 minutes, phone wasn't able to recognize headphones not even SONY and beats.
.
Is it a software issue or something?!
Please help

No... It didn't worked either

Restart your mobile(if possible repair mobile with pc companion) and Try headphone without mic, if it Will not recognize then it's hardware problem, so you have to contact Sony service center.

But there isn't any official sony Centre in my region

Soundabout works great.

Yesterday I upgraded to android 5. Still having the headphone jack issue though.

And now I'm having other new problems like priority status auto turning on (the star 🌟 in the status bar) even though I've never had any set.

It also slowed down my phone considerably. Sometimes my z1 hangs for 5 seconds or more.

Can you uninstall android 5?
