Help Earphones won't stay in headphone jack

Most likely you have a bit of lint and dust jammed down into the headphone jack where it would clamp the headphone connector into. I had to clean mine out today, I just used a toothpick and a light to see down into the jack. You'll probably want to get a little more than a toothpick however if you want to get the metal contacts inside completely clean.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

As I'm sure you can now tell, I managed to finally connect my earphone plug into my phone. I never would have imagined that my problem was simply a piece of lint.

Thank you so much!
