[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashan85:
Hello people!

I still have problems with my xperia x1. I don't have money to buy another phone so I'm using it and would be ok if the case looked good (and if in my country i would find cheap parts) and it wouldn't had so many issues.

I think you didn't understand much from the title, basicly is another thread about known xperia x1 issues + 2 unknown.

So, by now

1- cracking case, scratching easy case

2- phone sometimes turn off when slide opened/closed rough. Can live with that

3. keyboard problems

4.headset problems

4.1. : all the time headphone icon showing on screen

4.2 : sound is not clear, is blured, so I have to pres on the phone in the area of the 3.5mm jack (i mean i have to press on the case in that area) or if i have the mini usb pluged in like charger and moved it back and fw i get an improvement, or by moving the headphone jack against and finding a right position, at firs I thought is form the headphone;s jack but i guess it was the connector chassis on the main board.(the headphone jack was very tight inside and stiff, so the problem wa not from the inner conectors)

4.3: together with 4.2 problem another probleam apeared. when I insert the headphones, sometimes and more and more often, the phone would start DIALING the last log from my call log (e.g. dialed/received) automaticaly. This realy pissed me off. I had to move around the headphones to avoid that, or turning off my phone network. I searched but I guess I am the onlyone with these 2 above mentioned problems (4.2 and 4.3)

So, because i bought this phone as a bargain (60 USD) as a faulty and repaired it, and had no waranty and not being scared to reopen it again, and most of my "quality" of not searching on the internet first, but trying to fix it by myself I found myself writing here a lil bit disapointed of what i did.

I opened it, tried to see wich conector is loose, then tried to put some peace of film to put pressure on the 3.5mm conector, it didn.t work.. then somehow the 4.1 problem apeared. I didn;t got this problem only once in 6 months and i solved it bak then easily with the help of my stilus. Of course I didn;t knew what was causing it. So I tried again with the stilus but this time it didn't work, and I panicked..15 minutes of pain...me trying to solve problem no. 4.2 and 4.3 and got 4.1 wich was there to stay...:mad:

started to twist the screwdriver inside rough, put pressure on the small conectors inside and outside,,and then...after pressing on the low conector i did it. It disapeared. So I was like evrika!!! I solved the problem and realisesd what was causing it. Someone else here wrote the same thing in another post, and did exactly like me, or me exactly like him :p

What it happens is: when headphone not inserted, the conector is touching another conector, and so this means the OFF position. When inserted - the tip og the headphone jack pushes against the conector, detaching the connection making the ON position. So when i pull of the headphones i get the ON state wich meant that there was conection (I pressed with a screwdriver and bend it there so it would alway make a conection).

BUT somehow, I didn't let it, and torn that litle piece , so know I am back again on headphones because I have no conection. So I did a conection and now it's ok but I can't use my headphones anymore + and now my 3.5 mm conector is dead.

Replace? How? Where I can find a 3.5mm chassis? It has 5 soldering conectors. I hope to replace it, and I hope that with this ocasion I will solve the 4.2 and 4.3 problem

Any clues on getting this part? Or a compatible one? Or a better one?

LE: so if you encounter problem 4.1 just insert the stilus in there and move it at the end of the hole or take a cotton bud and clean it with some alcohool, it might be dirty.
