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?
Richard
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...

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
I am not spamming just realized my first post wasnt clear

Found it (well mostly)
Found in the Wiky this: Pinout!! , for the wallby and altought on the BA is 10 pin the position seems to be right.... only 6 pins used ??? or was I lucky ??? I dont care... tried to isolate the problem by testing continuity on the pins that work for the wallby and one of them (the one that was destroyed ) was not giving it..
a lot of patience soldering iron and support from my wife.. i managed to create a bridge and now it works!!!
cheers....
Thanks

Hi
The sound has stopped working on my wallaby, and I wonder if anyone can help me fix it. I have cleaned the headphone jack with a toothbrush and IPA solvent and this has made no difference. I have also checked the resistance across the contacts with a multimeter and measured zero ohms across pins 2-3 and 4-5 after cleaning.
However, I have found that the sound does work if the device is really cold. For example - if I put the wallaby in the fridge, the sound will work for a few minutes until it warms up again.
Can anyone sugest what might be the problem?
Cheers
Ben
I have also tried the playback test from the bootloader meny and this works fine.
any luck with "no sound" so far? i am having same problem with jasjar. tried to screw around with headphone jack socket like threads state but no luck. thought maybe you might have some advice on how yours is going?
Hi
No progress whatsoever. It's almost impossible to fault find without a circuit diagram / schematic. I can't get my head around why it works fine from the diagnostics menu, but not at all once I boot it up into Windows (unless I put it in the fridge).
Cheers

Perhaps the failing componant is near another that emits a lot of heat when the phone is booted, but doesn't startup in diagnostic mode? Charging circuit overheating / shorting maybe? Or maybe the resistance of something in the speaker circuit is changing as it warms?
Any access to a thermal camera / image software?
Richard
just got my jasjar back after having cracked lcd and headphone jack replaced. sent to http://www.pocketpctechs.com out of california as suggested by very helpful user on this site. cost me around $20 dollars and took only a day to fix. works fine now!
more of this problem in ear peace ( audio jack ) problem ... just use some contact
Tonight I try to listen some music on my Tg01 and I discovered the head phone is not working, the answer button on the lead is not functioning either. I dont think is the lead because I keep it very safely and very careful not to damage it, I suspect is the micro usb jack is faulty but I can sync with PC with no problem. Have any one have this problem before?
If I can`t solve it I just return it to Orange for a new phone Phone just 6 months old. Hate to buy a new lead because I just can`t find it and I don`t think that`s the problem, not to mention waste of money.
I am using FFboy WM 6.5.5 Sense 2.5 Beta3 rom BTW.
Problem solved by new micro usb headphone lead. Toshiba one is broken ........

Where did you buy it from?
I got it from local market for £5, I am looking in to LG micro usb headphone adaptor too, I think it might work as well.

i think there's a nokia phone that uses the same adaptor too....

i know you fixed this...
but in case it helps anyone, my headphone somethimes doesn't work - the sound goes to the external speaker instead, but if i quickly dial a call (any #) & then hang up (before it rings at the other end) then the sound is diverted back to the headphones
Hi adzman808, I thing that this question was brilliantly explained in Modaco's forum by Kevin, some months ago....
http://www.modaco.com/content/toshiba-tg01-tg01-modaco-com/298887/headphone-amplified-sound-output/
I modified a couple of speakers (following the Kevin's instructions) with success. I had exactly the same issue, speakers worked perfectly but, sometimes, sound source changed randomly to device's speaker.
I just soldered a couple of resistors between left /right line and ground, as Kevin said, and problem has been definitively solved.
I'm sure that you have he same problem. By the way, in Modaco I was(am) Xdalover. Nice to hear from you in Xda dev as well.
Hope this help you
Cheers

I think it`s the same problem as my faulty toshiba lead, just yours is on the way out. Get a new lead and try it.

I believe this is a uUSB control software (driver) issue - have also experienced on occasion.
Typical scenario is when the TG01 has been on charge via the uUSB; unplug the charger and then plug in the external audio connector (eg. one of my home-brew cables used to feed an external 5.1 sound setup - see the Modaco post Pere has just flagged) - device refuses to put audioout to the uUSB and will only play via the speaker.
I have previously resorted to a S/R which evidently reset the uUSB controller to respond correctly to insertion of a B plug wired for audio.
Adzman808's solution is evidently achieveing the same result but by forcing a change of function call by initiating the phone call - hadn't thought of that trick !
I'm still looking unsuccessfully for source of the relevant chip that I identified in the previous post about the uUSB which is supposed to be able to support external charging and audio out and some other functions at the same time....
I'm trying REALLY hard to avoid all the possible puns here...
I'm sure all G5 owners know the headphone jack / socket is nice and tight, and inserting headphones would give a VERY satisfying click feel and sound. Well mine no longer does. I use it mostly in my car with an AUX cable and sometimes with my headphones. Neither give the satisfying click feel or sound anymore.
Has anyone else experienced this?
You probably just have some dust or similar in the socket. Try using a needle pin to take it out.
What Hoffa said !
I had the same issue with my charging port, found tobacco stuck in there
I've used a flashlight to peer inside and cannot see anything that might cause this. I'll post a photo ASAP and hopefully someone can compare that to their headphone port...
Edit: Taking a photo while attempting to pour light into the headphone port is much harder than anticipated! I think I will try a q-tip IF they are small enough... Will report back if it works out.

Sorry for late reply.
A q-tip will only leave more lint inside - just use a paperclip or a small needle or something. You have to try hard to break something inside with it, and you won't get electrocuted.
I've removed lint from my socket numerous times, and every time the jack sits snugger, and gives a click.
Go ahead, give it try. (If you haven't, already)
Thanks for the replies. I don't have the G5 any more.
