Galaxy S3 headphone jack only plays sound through left ear.

Galaxy S3 headphone jack only plays sound through left ear. I have tried several different headphones in my brand new Samsung Galaxy S III, but sound only plays from the left side of the headphones. I do not wish to return my unit to Samsung or ATT for repair or to get a replacement refurbished unit.

Using the aluminum foil in the headphone jack works. I tried it. Don't know how long it will be good for, but I can hear out of both sides of my headphones.

Most of the time what happens is the solder that holds the headset jack does not make a full connection, but when you press on the jack it does. If you have some liquid flux and a soldering gun it is an easy fix, just apply a little bit of flux on the solder and reheat it with the soldering gun and it should complete the connection.

i had the this problem also, but i had no sound at all, maby this is can fix your phone to. the first thing to to is to clean the uotput jack with some electronics cleaner and check that there is no clogging in the bottom. I notised on my s3 that the screws underneath the plastic cover had become loose. this resulting in a poor connection or something not being in the right place. i tightened the screws with a tiny Phillips screwdriver and the problem was solved.
