[Q] thinking about doing a speakers hard mod on my fascinate - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

im thinking about adding speakers on the back of my fascinate, kind of like the ones they do for my psp. any advice, tips or anything useful you could give me.
if all goes well ill post an in def tut.

Why? and Where ? i would think making a cover that attaches to rear of the phone that plugs in to the 3.5 mm jack would be better ,so you can use the 5.1 ch surround sound thing ..

Just to show off, I mean I did it to my psp and its awesome so I figure why not my phone

Also the reason why I thought of this is because when I took my phone apart the casing had pins for a speaker and enough room to run speaker wires from it and attatch a small speaker

Head phone jack problems?

I noticed after using the Thunderbolt that I could only hear off and on from the Left ear - the Right was fine. I thought it was the headphones so I went & purchased new ones and after that plugged my phone in using my aux port in my Jeep and the same problem. Its only playing from the Right side speakers*-- so with (2) pairs of headphones & the car I am thinking its the phone?
Any one else had this problem?

my thunder bolt is rooted if that helps

I noticed with mine I had to push the headphones down kinda hard to get left and right audio. Probably not good for the jack though
No, thats not a storm. Its just my Thunderbolt layin down this post.
I have noticed the same thing...with that, and the sleep button, I am not impressed with the build quality of these devices.

Same with me...I get worried everytime I plug something in
Sounds like the headphone jack shorted out. I had the same issue with my og droid. I'd unroot it and get a replacement.

I have to push mine in hard also or I only get sound from one side. Also on phone calls the other person can't hear me if the head phones are plugged in
Does the pair of headphones have a Mic? If they don't then that makes sense on why they can't hear you. I'm rockin headphones now and don't have to shove them in the jack.

To solve non stock headphone problems (distortion etc gone) ;-)

Iv been looking into the problem about non standard 3.5 mm headphones not working on our x10s and it seems to be to do with the arrangement of the rings an tip and sleeve on the headphone jack, the x10 is 4 pole (trrs) where as normal headphones are 3 pole (trs). This seems to create distortion and / or echos or just music that sounds absolutely awful if you are using a wired headset which is 'iPhone or black berry compatible (these use industry standard 3 pin trs headphone jacks) and certain companies like to make things more awkward and use 'non standard' 4 pin trrs headphone jacks.
http://db.tt/GqIAYQ7 might explain better.
The sound goes all wrong unless you press the microphone button and all the pins get connected properly. Below is a couple of adaptors which can fix this problem.

http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/4-pole-ipod-adapter.html seems to be the cheapest out there.
What I used to fix this problem for me was using an adaptor I was given on an airplane at some point and it sorted out the sound so i didnt have to use the mic button and could enjoy my music normally on my V Moda headphones.
I hope this helps out others who have had the same problems with an after market head phones with a mic, and should be the end to your woes
@ Mods this may be better suited to accessory section, sorry.

BUMP!!
If any of you guys have ever been on an airplane and they give you the head phone adaptor this will work instead of paying out cash. Finally I can use my V Moda's and the sound great without having to hold the mic button. I can't believe this worked, i only tried it on the off chance! Go search your house for these adapters if you ever got one now, do it!

Sadly I don't have that! I also not willingly to waste $10 on that thing. For now I only can use a paper clip and clip on the mic button, hope it doesn't spoil the headset easily.

The second link is one much cheaper and like I said if you have an adapter they give to you on an airplane with 3.5 jack this will work. Did for me anyway lol

[Q] Music only plays out of right speaker... PLZ HELP!!

I recently replaced my screen and now when i plug in my headphones the music only plays through the right speaker. Anybody know why this is happening??
Have you try with other earphone? Maybe the earphone is broken..
Yea i've tried different headphones, the left speaker is always out, if I pull the jack out a little the left side will work but the the right stops so im assuming its some sort of hardware issue but I dont know where to look

You'll have to take the Streak apart and check the jack. It's likely the solder connecting the jack to the board is broken. Either that or the contacts aren't making contact by being bent.
Yea I was inspecting that piece but couldnt tell if anything was defective about it, I think i'll just order another one of that part since thats probably the problem, thanks for your help

[Q] GPlayer 5 audio jack

Hi. I dropped my gplayer 5 and the way I dropped it it landed right on the headphones in cable and pushed the audio jack too far in. I then did something really stupid and tried to pull it out with a tweezer and now its definitely broken. I was wondering what audio jack i need to buy to replace it and if someone can post a link to the thread that shows the 5.0 being taken apart.
Thank you
You might just want to replace your SGP completely

Thanks but I still want to try and salvage it. Does anyone know a link to a replacement rca jack i can order though?

Galaxy S2 HeadPhone Jack issues

I have Samsung Galaxy S2 with MIUI Rom.
I have this some unique issue which i tried looking up on net but am unable to find a solution.
I recently Purchased a Sennheiser MX 170 EarPhone.
When i normally connect this to my S2, the music still plays through the speaker of the phone.
But when i tilt it & put a pressure on it then it plays through the headPhone
& as soon as i remove the pressure it again plays through the speaker.
This happens with most of the headphones, only few earphones do play correctly on my phone.
I dont know if anyone else is facing this issue or not.
But please help me out.
Where the problem is.
Go check or your headset is really complete inside the jack. I also had that when i first got the phone and by iphone.

I am pretty sure your headphone output is broken, at least partially. Depending on the design and material of the headphone plugs, some headphones might work while others won't. I had the same problem. But luckily, it is actually very easy to repair.
You need this: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Orig-Samsung...zer_Ersatzteile_Werkzeuge&hash=item2337019eec
and a screwdriver (just go to a builders store, I got mine there). Luckily there are just 7 screws you need to undo, all the same size.
I found this video helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65pvAINg2ME
from 5:15, the guy explains how to replace the headphone jack.
For me, everything is working fine now!
