Hi
I just dropped my xda , and I seem to have lost all sound since then. Therefore cant use as a phone anymore .
I plan to take it to a well known phone repair outlet hereabouts, but since this is an entirely different piece of equipment it would probably help if they had a circuit diagram or something, with pointers as to what to look for.
Would anyone be able to help out with this, so that I can then take it to these guys with some indication as to what they should look for and where it is likely to be?
ANY help is welcome.
Hi,
I have had this problem but without dropping it :wink: just using it regularly like a MP3 player in my car thru the jack connector on it (same thing if you are using offten the headphone :?: ). So my problem was on the jack and I fixed it myself with a shortcut, and sence then my sound volume has become even better, :lol: suppose it vas galvanized a bit before :?
All the best

Well after 1 year of use and abuse.. i manage to produce the first phisical damage to my Blueangel
Just received a Car mount with external speaker and while fiddling with it the suction cup lost grip and the whole thing fall off the table (1mt +or-)
Well the mini jack for the hands free (which at that time had connected an enormous plug to convert 4pins 2.5 mm to 3.5) got torn off from the soldered points and was completetly loose... So hands on i managed to open the darn beast with a jewler tool set and much to my relief the 10 pin's connector (only god knows what they're for) has enough space to use my soldering iron to fix it back...
The problem was that one of the contacs in the board got torn off and for much i tried to recreate i think i didnt succeed as i only have audio from the headset now and not from the phone itself...
I am posting as maybe one of you guys could provide a connection diagram for the darn think so i can try to isolate the problem.
Please dont let me down...
Cheers

Sounds like you've a short in the connections for the microswitch *inside* the headphone jack - this is there to detect heaphones being inserted and switch the mode over. I would think default state isn't hot so a short would seem the logical answer.
edit - possibly the headphone jack's microswitch itself is broken?

That's why i need a diagram....
Yeha that's what i think, If i knew the pin out i could try to override the short....
i did a long research and it isnt posted anywhere....
Please help!!!!
I know that when u insert the jack in the hole it "pushes a lever that overrides external sounds... i just need to know which is !!!
:wink:
Found solution... see there...

First of all thank the Comunity and this site for their tremendous efforts throughout the development of roms, more than once because reading and reading and reading I have resolved all doubts!
I will try to explain as best as possible, to have if anyone can help.
I'm happy owner of a HTC Shift for over two years, which is purchased in a thrift store and everything has been perfect so far.
The problem must be the JACK audio, initially plugging and unplugging the headphones when you restart and some tricks but everything was going perfectly, until one day no longer heard the speakers.
Putting the headphones the sound is coming in windows 7, but in Windows Mobile not heard anything (before it was heard ringing through the headset intense ).... I assume that JACK CONECTOR is a failure, the case is that I have completely dismantled the shift and is the first time I see a JACK of this kind and are not where they compare, ask at several shops in Barcelona and do not know what kind it is.
If somebody could help me or tell me where to buy.
My idea if I fix this problem is put in the hole next to that Jack, another for connecting the headset and microphone and boring windows mobile housing for output and thus be able to use it as mobile and able to speak and hear for the handsfree
Well, if anyone can help me would greatly appreciate it, thank you for your attention and greetings from Spain
Thank you for your attention and greetings to the entire community

Connector Jack Pictures
I think you should post pictures of jack. There're many people would like to help you.
You mention that you dismatle it. Could you please share pictures of every part.
Hi all,
to my great frustration, I've discovered that my SGS2 line-out / headphones jack seems to have a slack joint, i.e. if you turn a connected plug around its long axis, a crackling sound is heared in the speakers and at some angular positions the stereo signal will be reduced to mono (i.e. one speaker gos silent). With one device (mobile outdoor speaker) I even had no sound at all at when inserting the plug with the wrong "orientation".
Did anybody experience the same problem or am I just out of luck here?
I am wondering whether sending back the device to the retailer (Amazon) or directly to Samsung (I'm situated in Germany) will yield the faster round-trip time, any experiences here?
Thanks!
PS: I know this may be a stupid question but can somebody PLEASE tell me how to search for multiple keywords with AND logic in this forum? Tried "+word +word" and "word AND word" (without the quotes) but nothing seems to work.
Are you using the headphones that came with it? My better half went through 4 sets of the stock samsung headphones with her original Galaxy S and all produced the same issue of losing one channel after a matter of days/weeks. having the jack inserted to about 2/3rds is a workaround but not ideal as you still lose some frequencies and it's insecure... They're just a bit pony.
No, I used different kind of headphones, including Sennheiser in-ear headphones and a standard male-male audio jack connected to some bigger hifi system. With some jacks I did not encounter the problem, but most of them lost some part of the signal with some orientations: I persume that the manufacturing tolerance of the jacks also plays a role...
Anyway, it's definitely not a problem of the jacks but of the device since I tried it with the SGS2 of a friend yesterday and it worked with the same jack that made problems with my device.
I will proceed sending my phone to Samsung for repair, I hope that won't take to long *sad looking*, I am so used to it now, it's card to survive to weeks without it.
I had the same problem, all I had to do was insert headphones cable "HARDER" into the audio jack until I herd a "click" sound.
I was way to over protective of this phone when i first had it, and wanted to handle too much with care, forced the dam cable in, and "click", sounded like it snapped into place, the audio worked correctly without cracking noise or without the need to wiggle to cable get clearer sound.
Perhaps your friends SGS2 is already used to headphone being inserted, but yours not. Just add a little pressure until you hear clip into place.
If this doesnt help, then repair or return.
Thanks for the hint, but unfortunately I had the jack inserted to the very end, so this was not the problem... sent in for repair now, let's see what happens.
I have a fix for you i think!!!!!!!!
ok . when i got my s2 like 4 days ago (at&t usa version) i noticed that when i plugged into my aux cable in my car that it was low sound cracking more volume on the left side , very annoying . NOW FOR A SIMPLE FIX FOR SOME TO TRY! PLUG IT IN ALL THE WAY! i noticed when plugging it in i wasnt fully plugging it in . it should go all the way down FULLY! the sound is perfect once this is done . I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU !!!!!! good luck
Alright, So how my problem came to be is that i plugged in my phone to a projector through the AUX port. Looking back on it, i must have put in the wrong cable (input instead of output) or that the voltage on the projector used a much higher current than what my phone could handle. At the time, this froze my phone, rendering it useless until I did a battery pull. I thought this was odd but didnt think much of it. After this, when i wanted to listen to some music and noticed that my Beats headphones right side had no audio being emitted. After trying things to fix it i realized it wasn't the headphones that are broken, but the phone itself. I does not output any right side audio to the AUX. I knew at this point it wasn't a software issue, but I tried anyway, so I changed ROMs, music player, settings, everything.
So i accepted that, and did some research online and found a replacement speaker and AUX port for my Galaxy S3. $8, all I got to do is wait for it to arrive. It arrived today, so I instanltly opened up my phone to replace the part. installation was a success, however it did not work (obviously because I'm writing this thread)
So here lays my problem. I believe I blew a fuse/short circited my phone in some area when I hooked it up to the projecter. And this is not just this one phone either. My friends Xperia Pro mini sk17i was also affected by the same projecter. The only difference is that neither sides of his audio work. unfortunatly due to the age of his phone he can't buy a spare part anymore, so he couldnt try and get a new AUX port, although we now believe that it is not the problem.
If you need anymore details I am more than happy to give them to you. Please, I dont want to ship my phone in to Samsung to fix it.
Thanks guys.
Cheers
bump. No one knows anything?

hey there,
sorry for the long post, but I have a few questions and I want to be a specific and clear as I can.
so once again im facing some problems with my 3.5mm audio jack.
last time it happend (over six months ago) I still had the device waranty covering it so I just sent it to the store and they replaced the whole rear speaker part which includes the 3.5mm jack.
now that I don't have waranty covering it im probably facing some high cost for replacing this few dollars part....
I thought maybe I should try replacing it myself but encountered a problem oppening one of the screws in the back panel of the device (even though the screw looks fine, I guess the person who "fixed" my problem last time used too much force to screw/unscrew the screw and messed its head)
any solutions on oppening that last screw?
maybe I should just send it for repair and pay the price..?
or is there a more elegant way of fixing the 3.5mm jack?
also, its preaty annoying facing this problem again in such short term of time...
even though im not using lethal force to connect things to my device, I'm a rather heavy user and I tend to plug and unplug the device alot...
if its in my car when I plug it to the AUX or at my office when I plug it to the stereo or just when im on the train listening to my favorite tunes to pass the time.
what the hell can I do to make the jack last longer??
If you aren't confident then send it for repair, there is no way to repair hardware without disassembling the phone.
My phone is nearly two years old, headphones get plugged in at least two or three times a day and I've had no problems.
