Hey, my jack entry broke and I'm planning buying a new phone since one of my main reasons for owning one was listening to music. I have a LG Optimus L5 and I kept it for like 4 years, I bought it without any clue, just because was the best phone I saw with a cheap tag. There was a point where I had to see all the videos people sent me on my computer as my phone wasn't compatible with them, and there were some apps I couldn't use neither, but I didn't care until now. I think it's not worth repairing and I want a new phone wich can last a bit more. When I bought mine the L7 and L9 were already on the market, so mine was outdated since the purchase.
I still have no idea of movile devices, and I don't want to make the same mistake again. I want a phone of a reasonable size (not too big or small) and my money is pretty tight so I can't afford expensive ones. Basically, the best you can found for more or less 200$.
I don't know about them either. A friend I trust with these suggested me one plus one, got it along time ago and didn't get any problems,only gets hot at the sun while using media and its a bit big. Their newer models supposed to be smaller.
Reliable cheap and not branded .. So much

If you don't completely suck at soldering and you already own a soldering iron, you can replace the headphone jack for like $2.
