Issues with bottom holes ???? - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Hi all!
First of, my device did sometimes not fast charge, only regular charge.. No matter witch charger or cable combo i used. Sometimes it changes during charging, fast charge-regular-fast etc.
So i was thinking maybe i have some dust or something in the usb hole, so i tried to clean it with compressed air and some piece of plastic.
Now the charging is started with fast charge and after 5min dropped to regular..
And some new problem, the microphone is dead.
Not completely tough, it does record some loud and close enough sounds and when listening the speaker almost in my ear i can hear something, but in call use the other person can not hear anything, except with me speaking with loud speaker mode on. I guess it uses different microphone on then..?
I am open to any suggestion to solve my problem.
I am on vacation one week more so i can't turn to my phone seller with warranty conversation. But i guess that is my best change to get it working, warranty.
I'll see how that goes cause the device bootloader is unlocked.. (rooted and xposed also)
Anyone else had these issues?
Any help please!
Edit. V10D stock rom, rooted and systemless xposed

Got back to stock with v10D..
Allso got bootloader relocked in fastboot with 'fastboot oem lock' command.
The yellow triangle on startup is gone, so now sending it back for warranty->
Edit.
They said at the shop that it will take max. 2weeks... So we will see..
Edit. 2
I tried the camera module at home and the microphone worked perfectly with that, but it didn't regodnize the module buttons at all and didn't charge(normal or fast). So i gave it in for warranty too.

Ok, so today i got call from the shop. They said that the service center has sent them a message that says: we do not have suitable parts to repair the device.. Lg will replace the whole device.
So i got my self a brand new phone and cam module from the shop, in a factory sealed original paggage.
For the lack of development for G5,
I think i am going to sell it and try to manage with my old Zenfone2 till Nexus release :fingers-crossed:

I think not, don't have the phone anymore to check.
Flashed stock 10D with Lgup (refurbish ticked) then relocked the bootloader..

[Q] X10 Mini PRo vibrator

Hi there
Im wondering if anyone has had their vibrator stop working for the X10 Mini Pro? And if so do you know where to get one? And where theres a disassembly guide?
Mine seemed to stop a couple of months ago. Havent really been too bothered about it, but since Ive found out how to access the service menu to test it, it appear that mine has died, and wondering how quick/easy it is to fix
It should be under warranty, so that'll be the easiest route (apart from losing your phone for an unspecified amount of time...)
Could you explain how to test the vibrator? I have lost vibration on mine, though I think I have somehow disconfigured it.

Yeah but I rooted and debranded it so byebye warranty. Its not too much of a problem though. Just worried about a phone call or a text I may not hear lol.
Anyway. Service menu:
menu, back, back, menu, back, menu, menu, back on lockscreen. NOTE: it doesnt work if you try entering it using lockbot lockscreen. Default one does though. Service tests, then Vibrator.
I read your thread the other day. Thats pretty much the same way mine has "died" (most apps wanting to vibrate when it does something)
One more to join the dead vibrator club. Greetings from Brazil.
isn't it possible to revoke the rooting and branding? at least the branding should be equal for the se repair team (i think).
Vibrator?

That's a different accessory, add headphones and do a web search. 8)
you shouldnt really call it a vibrator
as for warrenty come on just reinstall the factory firmware be as though you never rooted it lol they wont know.
yey ! just like Iphone, you reinstall the original fw by SEUS and thay don't know you rooted it before.
Or just disassemble your phone and replace with the new one ! (i do it with my Nokia E63 ! it's very easy!)
You may wanna see this
try it with your own risk ! lol
Mine stopped vibrating for texts and calls but still works this was on 1.6 on 2.1 it is fine

Need help. Other people cant hear me talking!

I just got my replacement digitizer and LCD screen. Installed everything according to the guide in our forum. Screen works fine except now I think something may be wrong with my mic. Does anyone know which connector is for our microphone. I just double checked all the connections and they seem to be in correctly. I dont know what else to do.

If your rooted, perform a full wipe and flash a different rom. If you are not rooted or have already tried that, call sprint and get another.

Not sure if this is helpful or not - but this person on another forum was complaining that he took his phone to sprint and they replaced his digitizer. After he left the store he called people and they couldn't hear him talk - something about his mic not working after sprint repaired it.
He ended up getting a new phone from sprint which in your case doesn't help. However maybe while replacing the screen you accidentally hit the microphone or something? Maybe since sprint did it also, its an easy thing to do.
you just unplugged the wire to the mic. lol or the connection isn't solid. btw, THIS THREAD WAS FROM LAST YEAR! lmao! but good job on searching. hahaha. but open it up and look for the mic and plug it back in? OR DO WHAT I DO, USE BLUETOOTH! I personally have a SOUND ID 6 SERIES! IT WORKS GREAT! best on the market! well, kindof anyway! lol. they were stupid and only put 2.1 bluetooth on it instead of 3.0 or 4.0. they were playing stupid.

[Q] Broken microphone, or is there any hope?

Suddenly people can't hear me anymore when doing a voicecall.
First I thought it was a problem with my carrier. But I noticed that things as Shazam and SoundHound don't recognize any sound either...
It looks like my microphone is not working anymore.
Does it mean my microphone is broken, or are there still things I could try?
UPDATE (summary: )
Factory reset, new flash/wipe/update. Does not change anything.
Did the tests in service center: microphone doesn't seem to work. Did the test multiple times and mic didnt record anything. But one time I could hear the sounds but it was extremely silent... Strange.
'2nd mic' in the test menu seems to work better.
What could be the problem in this case?
Try a full wipe/reflash. If that doesn't help, apply for RMA.
Tried a factory reset, wipe. Also an upgrade to .76. Both didn't work.
Guess I have to apply for RMA
Go to service menu and test it *#*#7378423#*#*

Thanks. Just tried this. When playing the recorded sound it is silent. So there the microphone didn't seem to work either.
UPDATE:
Tried again. Louder. And now I could hear the sounds once! But the volume is very low... Hmm what could be going on?
Also I tried the '2nd microphone' test. That one seems to work better.
Maybe flash another firmware,if no send it to service.

Tried a .75, .76 and a fresh .73 firmware. None of them solved the problem
When I use the handsfree function the/a microphone seems to work properly...
It seems mic1 is faulty,need replacement.

Hey, I had the same problem. It may be a long shot but try this. Take some canned air and blow out your headphone jack. For myself, it seems that somehow, some way, there was something in there (perhaps dust, lint) that was causing the phone to not switch the primary microphone back on from headset mode.

Thanks, tried that too. Also in the mic opening. Both didn't work unfortunaly.
I will send the device RMA
(I really hoped that was not needed. Because the people who work at the repair company don't have any knowledge. The chance is big they send the device back after doing a factory reset... They did the same when my Nokia N8 was broken, 3 times!!! Wish me luck guys!)

Just as I feared:
Got the device back, UNrepaired. Had to pay 85 euro's and they didn't repair anything. I had no warranty because I had modified software (I guess the unlocked bootloader). Totally unrelated but for them enough reason not to do anything but ask a lot of money instead.

Headphone jack.. jacked

Hi, my headphone jack seems to be broken, I can only hear volume in one ear, or not at all, unless I hold it in a certain, strange angle.
I've tried with a few different headsets, and it's the same thing. Problem is my phone is rooted, does that mean I'm screwed, and I have to pay a crapload to get it fixed?
Thanks
Are u sure....

Hey,
Got the same issue here.
And it's my second phone already (first had an issue with a screen).
I've called Samsung already (in Poland) and the guy there told me that "they have never faced such an issue with smartphone" - right...
I'll bringing my phone to Samsung just after my vacations and hope it will not take them a long time to fix it.
Generally speaking I have a feeling that Samsung's quality control is very poor.
I had this exact same issue and it was from start, and Samsung refused to replace it. Had to buy a new one even though I didn't want to buy another Samsung after how they treated me for the first time.......
That's odd. I've had the same exact issues before but it was always the earphones/headphones fault

Well this may be a long shot but try cleaning the jack with fine tip cotton bud moistened with cleaning alcohol. Make sure your phones switched off with battery out until it dries

I returned mine under warranty for repair. No issues since.

Well.. mine is rooted, so I guess that leaves that out for me, right?
Unroot it, that basically means following these steps:
- Take a CWM Nandroid backup of your phone for easy restore when getting it back
- Use the app 'Triangle Away' to reset the binary flash counter
- Go to samfirmware.com and download your official ROM, then flash it through Odin
- Go to Samsung's standard recovery and factory-reset the phone. (Warning: will delete your whole phone!)
- Make sure Device Status is not 'Modfied', and return it for warranty

Auto-brightness / Proximity sensor issue

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy s6 Edge G925F with custom rom, i have a problem with my sensor.
I turn my auto-brightness in ON and nothing chang, it's always stay at the same level of brightness, i tested it, if it was a hardware problem with calling "*#0*#" but not, it work perfectly in that.
and for the proximity sensor, when i call someone, the screen turn automaticaly in black, same think, i tried to test hardware, it's work, when i call someone with What's App for exemple, it's work, but it's not work with phone dialer.
(Sorry for my bad english, i'm french)
Can someone help me ? I tried an other rom, same problem, other bootloader / modem, same again.
Same issue here! Don't know what the problem is. Sensor is working when being tested, but somehow system is not receiving that info. Factory reset did not help either. I am on stock everything (5.1.1).
and you have no problem with brightness in mode auto ?
Auto brightness is not working either. It is always at same output value, no matter what I do. And also navigation buttons are not lighting up anymore.
Phone is all stock. Not sure if I should try with other roms...

Oh, we have the exact same problem, I just noticed that, my softkey lighting doesn't work too.
Have you got a problem like that, you put your headset's jack into your phone, and It's not detected by your phone ? İ have that issue too, I bought a jack, dock replacement for replace this part, I will tell you what happening next.
I saw your thread, did you disassembly your s6 ? By you or other guys.
If you find any solution to this problem please report it here and I will do the same. Hope we will be able to fix it .

I just checked this, and unfortunately it's not working...not recognized by the phone . Guess it's identical problem.
I did not touch any internals...just sent this phone for repairs, but they did not fix it because they found out that someone was already open it before. Now I do not know what to do.

Okay, then, The Phone was already opened before, I will tell you if I found something for that.

Yes, as I wrote in my original thread phone had a problem with faulty battery. It was refurbished phone and seller stated that it has 2 years of manufacturer warranty, but as it turned out warranty was void because someone damaged that battery before and tried to fix it with some tape.
btw. everything else was working fine before we sent the phone for service. When they returned it all these problems started. I have ordered new battery and will replace that by my own I guess because Samsung is not responding to our messages. I guess my girlfriend will have to live with these issues if we are not able to fix them...
if you think your auto brightness is not working check out this app. If that doesn't work then your sensors are faulty/defective and contact Samsung support or your authorized reseller

As we mentioned already...every sensor checking app is reporting that senors are working just fine. I removed the battery so can't try this app right now, but will definitely check as soon as I can, thanks.
Update regarding my situation: Since everything failed to fix this device or receive our money back, I decided to open the phone and check if anything else is wrong with it (besides battery) and guess what...audio jack port was completely broken. Plugging in headphones was working before it went to official repair centre, and now I know they broke it. But still I can't do anything about it because Samsung is refusing to fix it. My best bet is to replace that part together with battery and live with other issues.
Worst service I have ever experienced...
Ok so, I will receive this replacement part (jack) this week, I hope it will fix the other problems too.
I'll tell you what happen after that.

Please do! I also ordered whole usb connector board with headphone jack on it. Let's hope it will work.
btw. I just contented old battery back and tried this app. It is working great, so sensors are fine.
Hıı, I have A good news for you, I just replaced the usb, Jack part and all is working back, proximity sensor, auto brightness control and jack.
Good luck for you ?

Same here! Just replaced and packed everything up few minutes ago. Working great!! Finally! I'm glad we managed to fix this one ...
Just dry up the edges. Try to blow the corners. It is just a little bit wet because the corners have little gaps that let water and dust in. I blow dried my phone and it fixed the problem. If you try to wipe screen with water and it gets inside the edges, problem comes back again
Ich have the same problem. But how can it be a hardware issue when the sensors are working in test module? I don't want to send it in :/
Mine was having this exact problem and was solved by an update I didn't know existed. Go to where you find your updates and download any available. Mine worked great again afterwards. If that doesn't work, Try clearing your cache partition.
