Why do these pieces of fuck break fucking constantly. Any time I get a new phone they manage to break within the first month. It's not even due to carelessness because I barely even use them.

I even bought a jack plug for when I'm not using it because they attract lint like a fucking magnet. Sure enough as soon as I go a few days without using the plug, the jack breaks.

What the fuck is the deal? This happens to almost everyone I know, too

Honestly, that's what I call a cool story bro. Such a riveting tale, I honestly copy and pasted it to word, saved on my hard drive, backed it up on a jump drive, drove to the bank, put the jump drive in the safe deposit box, and will leave it there until my kids turn about 12 (when they can actually state their age, and ask what it is I'm showing them), when I will pick it up, put it in an old USB drive reader and relay this cool story to them and tell them, "kids, this is what a cool story should look and sound like...not like the stories your generation tells.

I have never dropped a phone before in my life. Grip of steel.

>>54706526
I wish I fucking knew. It's not like I use the jack more than once a week. I don't misuse it or anything either. Plug the headphones in, and unplug them when I'm done

I've owned at least 10 cellphones over the past 10 years and I've never ever ever broken a 3.5mm jack or USB port. Flip phones, Sonys, Samsungs, iPhones, LGs, etc, and I constantly listen to music on my phone.

You're just a faggot. I broke a male headphone jack off into mine, got it stuck as fuck, used a drill to get it out, and it still worked fine. I don't know what you're doing wrong.

trs jacks are literally the simplest electronic connector to repair.

I've never managed to completely break a 3.5mm jack but I've broken loads of 1/4" jacks and they're a cinch to fix

Other than the solder joint, what is there to break?
Breaking a solder joint for a surface mount component is not the same as breaking jack itself

Idk what you niggas are doing to those connectors. I've had cables give out multiple times, but never the connectors on the cables or phone.

Well I cannot say Ive ever broke a jackhole like ever.

But technically it was never meant for portable use,its just a smaller version of the beefy 6,3mm jack used in telephone exchange

furthermore any small rotation in the connection/jack interface can cause static noise in the crappier jack/holething connections

But hey,it least its a fkkn standard,better than having 20 standards and having to fuck around with passive/active adaptors

What you're not telling us is the constant torsion put on the cable while it's plugged in, I'm sure. Like when women go all "what's wrong with my phone? I just put it in my bra and sweat non stop into all the open ports for hours at a time! Technology and me don't get along haha haha haha have you met my 42 kids?"

You don't. This is a meme post because Apple is getting rid of the headphone jack because "muh innovation".

>>54706422
I have literally never had an audio jack break on me in my entire life.
You're either lying or a careless dumbass.
>>
>>54717829
It can happen if you pemanently exert force on the plug, like stick it in and pull it out a dozen times a day, carry your phone so that a sideways force works on the plug, etc.

What happens then is that the little springy lips inside that make contact with the 3 or 4 sections of the plug get worn out and fail to make contact. It happened to an extension cord I wasn't carful with where the plug and socket were under constant stress.

They don't the only 3.5mm jacks that have ever broke on me was

-Front audio panel on my 7 year old, chink knockoff PC case back in 2006
-My ipod nano when it went through the wash in my shorts.

Stop being retarded and take your headphones out of the jack before stuffing them in your pocket, you retard.

In my short life of around 20 years, I have managed to break a single headphone jack. And it was by accidentally dropping a trigonometry textbook in such a way that it landed on my headphone cable, snapping it but not before lifting and flinging the Nexus 7 it was attached to with such force that the back cover was snapped off and the headphone jack was literally ripped from the board.

I must logically conclude you're a fucking retarded chimp.
