Comment on How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?
tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months agoI don’t mind a phone having one input, for audio and charge/data, it is unfortunate how much less reliable the USB-C physical connection seems to be versus the 3.5mm though. I don’t know if it’s just me, but every USB-C device I’ve had eventually gets finicky with the connection, regardless of cable and cleanliness. My phone now using headphones with an adapter, if I move it much it will come loose and pause the playback. The 10+ year old phone I have with a 3.5mm jack though, I can swing it around holding the cord and it stays rock solid connected.

Get a phone case with a dust cover or really clean the hell out of that port.
I was honestly surprised with how aggressive I have to be to scrape out packed lint. Using a toothpick I shaved to be a little fatter.
Now I take my vacuum (Miele) with the dust brush, on high, and go to town on the bottom of my phones like once a week.
