Reddit reviews Valley Enterprises 6 inch TRRS 4-Pole 3.5mm Male Right Angle to 3.5mm Female Audio Cable

These are just from my personal experience (I have not done anything to the phone besides change the launcher/icons):

• I have had pretty decent screen on time, definitely better than my M7, and alot less drain during standby if any at all, can easily go 4 hours with light use, and maybe use 5-10% max (at least for me).
  
  
• The screen is beautiful, it does have a bit of oversharpening, but you really have to see it and decide yourself.
  
  
• The phone gets hot, but I have never had an overheating warning personally.
  
  
• A good amount of accessories I have a spigen ultra hybrid, and a glass screen protector on mine personally.
  
  
• There is a weird annoyance with the micro usb where u have to tilt it downwards before inserting, and only the thinner micro usb cords will work, my amazon basics one was too thick at the connector in and wasn't snug enough causing an iffy connection. There was shell cracking issues, and is mainly a problem with the first few batches, mine doesn't have any as of now, it is a 2 month old phone. There is also a software problem with the headphone jack where if you use a line in to a car stereo it will have weird popping between songs, and the connection is iffy, but can be fixed by buying a 5-6 dollar extension, I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C4FU52C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  
• LG's skin I would put on the same level as HTC's skin, not bad, but its definitely alot smoother if you use Nova Launcher or Google Now Launcher.
  
  
• I love the size compared to my M7, personally this is my sweet spot, until someone else proves me otherwise, any bigger, and it would start to be a bit too large for me
  
  I hope that helps!

Try a 4 pole cable adapter. This fixed the issue for me. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C4FU52C/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_OaZEwbKVMNEK5

Try something like this

You can temporarily resolve the issue by purchasing this connector. It is an extension with a right angle that has alleviated the issue for me.

LG has neither addressed this issue nor the issue with horizontal screen stretching. It's a shame, really, given how amazing everything else is on the phone. Of course, it's still fairly new and it seems that every device is prone to some issues in the very beginning. Consumers have become unwitting beta testers for companies that don't exactly have the most complete quality control standards.

You know you could get something like this

and not worry about the cheap extension plug wearing out.

Smartlav+ is fine. It's a mic meant for a cell phone using a TRRS connector. I assume the splitter is the SC6. Personally, I would get a small right angle TRRS extender (in fact I did for a different purpose) and see if that works for your existing splitter. I use this one explicitly

with the point to shift the tension off the jack. Lots of lengths and manufacturers.

To follow up, I bought this one, from Amazon:

It does the job nicely. Everything works, left/right headphone speakers and the mic. No different than when directly connected to the controller. Now the headphone cable doesn't get bent when I hold the controller close.

Lots of posts about this. The simplest solution is to use an extension to your earplug/headset cord. I use this: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C4FU52C, and it works 100% of the time. So will any other TRRS cable: Note the 4 metal areas on the plug, separated by 3 plastic rings. That's all it takes! I also picked the dustball out of the jack using a straight pin.

I experienced this issue with earphones only. It doesn't happen anytime. I am going to do a factory reset and I also ordered this as recommended elsewhere in this sub.

Sometimes the jacks wear out or the plug isn't tight enough. You can get a short extension cable like this.

If you put your phone in your pants pocket with your headphones plugged in and the plugs are straight (right side), then you're messing up the jack. Get headphones with a L jack or get a short extension and plug them in that way.

what you're describing doesn't sound right. sounds like there's something putting strain on the cable. i would try something like this http://www.amazon.com/Valley-Reinforced-Premium-Quality-payment/dp/B00C4FU52C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1398290312&sr=8-2&keywords=3.5mm+extension+6+inch between your laptop and headphones. the angled head will probably work better anyway and if it does still break it's less expensive than a new pair of cans.
