That thing is about as useful as a cotton string in the antenna port / It won't do anything.
I suspected that....

Hey everybody, I know you guys are looking for a full protective case for your new slide.I made up this little video with links and descriptions of what i use and do.

I hope this solves some people's problems with finding a good, durable case.
Cheers
if your going to post a link to your youtube video make sure you still have the video uploaded!
or at least change the title of the thread and mention that you deleted the video
Yea. Its kind of like giving someone a five dollar bill and then ripping it out of their hands and saying "never mind".
this thread should be deleted already! theres no point of leaving this thread here
Thread closed until the OP uploads a new video, or wants this deleted.
This is easier then you think to do even if your all thumbs, link below.
I'm trying to find some good parts outlets i will get back to that in the days to come and post links.
Also I/you will be putting more links/info in this forum for fixing these Related problems.
If you know of Good links for parts,manuals,videos an How to's this will help. But Please only links relative to this forum thank you.
If your out of warranty or you did something like rooting an they know then this is your only option and it's FREE except for the parts "if any" an tools.
If you rooted your phone and they don't know then there are solutions in the forums to get it back to lets say "warranty mode" and then just send it back too Sony.
Try going back to Stock thought PC Companion/Factory reset
To do a factory reset start with your phone go to menu/settings/privacy/factory data reset then reboot all should be back to stock. Then on your Pc go to Sony Ericsson program/Update Service and follow the instructions and do a software repair. Be sure that your Sony software (PC Companion and Update Service) is up to date. Or try these links below.

PLEASE PEOPLE USE THE THREAD SEARCH
It's easier then posting AND keeps the forums lite and clean. Thanks goes to the Members that help. Subscribe to that post so you can find it later and/or copy the link and past it in Notepad/Wordpad on your Desktop/Documents.
LOL I still have links from 2008 in my XDA Notes
Please remember to Thank all with the Thanks Button in Threads an Videos
Thanks for your efforts and thanks for starting this thread. Your comments confused me. First, you have to know that the search function only works if you know the exact phrase or thread you are looking for. Second, who would know to look in the disassembly thread for this specific problem? Not the average member.
My advice to you, since you opened this thread, is to support the members who found this solution through your thread. Obviously the disassembly thread is going to confuse or go outside the skill set of most of us. It's kinda your responsibly for starting this topic and being the OP.

Your right so as you can see all keep updating and we will see if it helps. Some of the forums are quite old. But I've saved my links to the forums in my XDA notes on my PC from way before I became a member.
thanks for your help i try tonite to make a video or take picks of me changing the micro usb port...
best regards
If and when you do that please post them in this thread and when i can i'll Incorporate it in this thread Thanks.
I don't think most people are going to be able to replace it without some specific soldering/de-soldering tools...I got quoted $85 at a cell repair shop for parts and labour (I asked about just replacing the USB port, but last time I was on these forums, I think some people were saying it was something else causing the problem, so there's no guarantee that's gonna fix it). If you don't have access to the tools already, it's probably going to be cheaper to just take it to a repair shop.
The tools are cheap just remember to get a good soldering iron for electronics (low wattage) and some good solder.
I will be updating my tread with some how to's

I'm gonna try to do a solder reflow, but it seems too dangerous to do in an oven, will buy a heat gun over the weekend and report back.

I watched that video too. I have an X10 with the same problem and have been wanting to do a reflow. Let us know how it turns out, with temps and times please.
Thanks
Tried using a heat gun because it seemed like a bad idea to put inside a normal oven,and it didn't fix anything
I got a new phone though, so if anyone can give suggestions on what to try to fix it, I'll try it. I don't really care if I break the phone since I'm not using it anymore. I figure I should help you guys out however I can cuz everyone on this board helped me so much with my X10.

Unfortunately I am not allowed to post links since I am too new of a user.
Go to imgur and check out the image who's ID is 4FEMS
(It'd be great if someone could edit a link in)
I once asked about a similar port on the back of my old VN250 dumbphone over on the SparkFun IRC channel at freenode, I recall them mentioning something about it being there so manufacturers could easily write an image to a large number of devices. Is that true? If so/not could this be used to facilitate hacking the device?
I might be able to hack up a connector if I knew what kind of jack that was.
post the link by replacing the : witha a - i couldnt find the pic you talked about
sure thing
http-//i.imgur.com/4FEMS.jpg
Google it.
I am almost certain that this is a "u.fl" interface. If you look on a Wireless NIC you will see the same connector. This connector is for a wireless antenna. You could try connecting an antenna to It. I have one and will tell you the results.
Its for connecting an external antenna, many phones have this somewhere but its usually hard to find and easy to damage if you mess around with it.
I had my phone in my pocket and headphones on. Walked by a doorknob, and damn, out comes the headphone plug, and then my headphone audio didn't work.
Turns out the repair for this is both easy and cheap. I found the part that includes the headphone jack, vibration motor, ambient microphone, and headset speaker for $25 (Google: sgh-i777 speaker flex cable assembly). Remove 7 screws on the back, pull apart the cover, and the part to replace is right at the top, no need to remove the motherboard. Disconnect the connecter labeled "sgh-i777", then pry up the headphone jack gently. Now you'll need to pull the in-call speaker -- it's above the connector and glued in, so pry carefully. Then pry up the circular vibration motor, which is also glued in.
Replace with the replacement part, removing the tape backings and gluing in the speaker and vibration motor. Lay everything else in and connect it up (push that connector gently!) Close up, screw back together, and it's as good as new. Easiest phone repair I've ever done yet. So glad I did it!
Nice. Funny how everything is held together with snot... er... glue.
Which glue was used?
Please don't necro threads. This was a year dead. PM the OP if you really want to know something.
If he had wanted to know about glue and posted in General or QA, people might have wonked and said "Search before you start a new thread!!!!" Or "Wrong area!!".
I'm guessing he might have done so, and finds this thread and asks someone with first hand experience.
Then someone wonks that he should have PMed. Can't please em all. Ask your question in the thread. Worst thing that happens is the guy doesn't answer. Rather that then him giving you info that others might find useful but can't get to as its locked in a PM. If people can't get to search able info, kinda defeats the point of always telling people to search before they ask.
'Nuff said.
Not only did he, but in the thread.

I have no idea what you just said. But my point was, the thread had been dead and no one had posted in it for a year. So it's safe to say the discussion was dead. Everyone knows that necroing a dead thread is a no no, so PM'ng the OP would've been the next logical step. He had a general question. Lets let this thread go back to sleep now
The point I was making was that this guy seemed to be following the usual direction of searching for a relavent thread first and posting there, rather than creating a new thread.
Secondly, had the gentlemen just PMed the OP and received a reply, then that information (the information about the glue specifics) would have been contained in a *Private* Message. This bit of information is now unreachable by any other user via a search. That follows no logic that I can see, given that the purpose for forums is to make information available as widely as possible.
Lastly, in your reply post to this gentleman, you said nothing about the original post, nor did you address his question. You simply wanted hit him with a rulebook. (Which, by the way, *would* have been better off being said by in a PM. Ironic).
To simplify the above, in case you don't follow me again:
In order to 1. Prevent a year old thread from becoming active ( even though it was on topic), you would rather 2. him send a PM, meaning the next person searching for the same information would have to PM *again*. If he didn't do that, you'd rather 3. him start a new post and risk someone jumping on him *for not searching for a post that might cover it first ( which, if he searched for headphone, glue, and SGH-I777, would lead him back to this post. And I've seen lots of people tell people to search first rather than start a new thread.

I have to agree with this! I've been on blogs/newsgroups etc. since the days of when AOL was the only internet provider and dial-up. I've never heard that "necroing" a thread as being bad etiquette. I think some people have become too dramatic about others' postings. There's annoying things that people do without meaning harm or hurting anyone every day. One must learn to be strong and thick-skinned to see past the drama and get over it!
I for one am curious about the type of glue in case I run into this problem, or can be used for another application.
glue
Did anyone find the glue?

I have seen the reference to the JTAG pads located on the back of the main board, but do not obviously see them. It would helpful to see an image with solder points and indications of correct pin identifications. Anyone have a good link for this?
