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

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

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
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?

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
My wife would like to use her Koss headset instead of the crappy stuff that comes with the unit. Is there an adapter that works like the 2.5 minijack to microphone + 3.5 minijack adapters that I have for my Atom? And please, don't even mention bluetooth! The headsets are nowhere near sounding as good as a cabled Koss yet, at least not within the price range we can afford!
Google is your friend.... this is a bit heavy on the DIY side but the principle looks solid.
http://www.4winmobile.com/tutorial-replace-hermes-headset-connector-with-35mm-socket-vt3146.html
I took the diy route, while it looks intimidating it's really very simple. Had my new headset adapter up an running in about 15 minutes.
Or a little less polite said: www.justfuckinggoogleit.com And yeah, I have thought about doing that, but the problem is that it won't be useful as a handsfree, and I would need something that does that. But I may try anyway, by cutting the plug of one of my XDA Atom 2.5 inch minijack to microphone + 3.5 inch plug units and soldering it to the thing. I just need to find out what cable to use for microphone, but that shouldn't be difficult. I was just hoping that there would be a ready made solution like the one I use for my Atom, from my eBay friend on netime in Hong Kong (no economical cooperation, I'm just a very satisfied customer). Look at item 320087044758, that's the one I use.
Another weird thing about that: I can get a similar item in Norway, and it may actually arrive 2-3 days sooner (usually not more). But it will cost me close to ten times as much! Talk about getting paid through the nose...or whatever orifice they put their money in.
Oh, not to be snotty, but I think my time will probably be closer to 5 than 15 minutes! I have all the equipment they mention, only in better versions, and I do know my way around a soldering iron. It does have it's perks to have an electronics engineer as a brother! He works in software now, but you should see his home workshop! The old stuff he gives me is probably better than all the hobby stuff you can buy!
Finally I'm glad that guy remembered to have a separate image showing that you need to put the plastic covering of the mini jack plug on first, since that's the number one idiot's mistake. This idiot has done it a few times as well...

You cut above the microphone to attach the jack, and then it can still be a handsfree device.
Yeah, that's an option. Thanks! But the Problem is that the cable will be very long. Anyway, I did it the way I described above, and it took about five minutes.
Hello, I have a Wizard since more than a year. Unfortunately my wire stereo hands-free is broken. Unfortunately I can't find a replacement in the country I live in - Bulgaria.
So, please if anyone knows the original electric scheme of the stereo headset, so I can be able to reconstruct an available one. Also, if there is a compatibility with any popular model..... it would be great.

should be the same for Wizard
Thank you...
I will try...... Have you tried this? Nowhere in the text is said that it would work for the wizard. But still it's worth trying... as nothing will be destroyed.
the hardest part with wraping up a wizard compatible headset is the jack part - i wasn't able to find a neat small jack with four connectors in any local store - all they offer are some cheap plastic plugs that fall appart after few uses. the best replacement for it would be some kind of jack - jack camera cable - four wires, four connectors, solid plug. this cable costs about 1-1,5 Euro and was the best thing for me to use since i had nokia 5510 ;] good luck
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.
