How can we add Headphone Jack to S25/25+ or 24/24+ etc. Samsung removed Headphone Jack and forcing people to buy phones without such important function to sell their Buds. Crony Capitalist.

 

Anyways, how and who can add Headphone Jack to these useless phones and make them any worth? Any suggestions please.

Not possible, unfortunately. Unless you want to drill a hole on your phone 😂😂. Then go for it.

You can buy an adaptor for about £10.

@NIFTYT20: Please be advised that you can purchase USB-C to 3.5mm jack adapters from reputable 3rd party retailers and manufacturers. As Samsung do not manufacture these adapters I am unable to recommend any specific brands, but I encourage you to research your options.

As you've raised multiple comments on a previous thread, some of which have been reported due to poor language.....

The 3.5mm Jack is old tech, like it or not Samsung won't be bringing it back.

This is partly down to EU E-Waste Regulations that have been brought into play by the European Commission to reduce e-waste. So, for example, all mobile devices sold in the EU (and the UK adopted these rules) must use USB-C. Laptop manufacturers are going this way too. My new HP laptop for work is charged by USB-C and no longer has a 3.5mm Jack.

I'm afraid unless the European Commission change the law (unlikely) then your complaints will fall on deaf ears.

Your only option if you want 3.5mm Jack is to get the adapter (I'm also aware from your previous comments elsewhere that you don't see this as a solution).
I am not employed by Samsung nor do I receive any remuneration as a Samsung Members Star.

My device is an S25 Ultra.

I don't think it has anything to do with e-Waste or EU/UK Rules. And Poor language because they are forcing us to buy poor quality and mediocre devices. I don't think that a Laptop won't have 3.5mm Jack. If so then it is useless. 

Using Adapter is not an option. More than that, it is accepting defeat against these crony companies and force to buy their super-duper expensive but not meeting the basic requirements  devices.

Poor language as I am so angry with these crony companies that using the language is min I can do now.

I'm afraid it is EVERYTHING to do with e-waste and the European Commission, regardless of what you "think" but you just don't like the narrative.

And if you keep using such language, you'll get banned from the forum. You aren't helping yourself here.

These adapters will ruin the sound quality of good earphones completely. Additionally, if I forget to take that adapter with me, that day the phone have no use at all as I cannot talk or call. One more device to carry and extra wire. These adapters are at least 3-4cm and not 1 cm in size that one cannot even feel that an additional device is added into phone.

I am using one and i am happy with the sound. I just leave it connected to the headphones wire, it just makes that wire longer, nothing else.

I use good sound quality audiophile earphones. Using Adapter means compromising big in sound quality. Additionally, that's what these crony and companies want that you pay more and get less functionality.
