Hi!

Just noticed that whatever the music soft I use, if I plug my headphone into the phone, if I move it to the left or to the right, the playback is paused, or it goes to the next track... I tried several headphones, the result is the same.

Very strange.

Could it be because the jack is defective and I should fix it?

Thanks :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nemesis1278:
Have you tried a different rom to see if the issue is still there or even tried winmo to see if the problem persists then. If so then I would say it is the headphone jack.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bingoig11:
With Android, several roms tried (about 10) and the problem occurs on each.

Didn't install WinMo for 1 year now lol, I will try (I need to sim unlock my phone, and the code provided by my carrier didn't work under Android so I guess I'll have to restore the original ROM).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] showlyshah:
Its not a problem. Itz working the way its meant to. Ie, in original htc music headset, we have option to play pause the song via controls in headset. And it does so by shorting some pins( 4 contacts, shorting different contacts do different things) like old nokia headsets in which shorting the mic contacts accepts/ hangs the call.

In ur case it may be problem with headset. Do u use 4 contact 3.5mm jack or 3 contact 3.5 mm jack? The second one( normaly used in audio players and other music devices ) is/ may not suitable for phones, which normaly have 4 contact 3.5 mm jack. ( the 4th one is for mic connection) the socket in phone is designed so . And if u insert a 3contact 3.5 mm jacked headset, whose jack have same length as of that of 4 contact 3.5 mm jack, will/ may short some pins( normally it wont, but if we move the jack, it will. Notice that the phone will pause the song when we unplug the headset). Thats what happens.

In ur case it may be the problem. And in worst case ur phones headphone sockets may got damaged or oxidised. I said Damaged in the sense that some of the pins inside the socket may be bend. I said oxidised in the sense that the pins get oxide layer in them due to prolonged use or may be due to use in areas like beaches, mines, chemical factories etc.( where do u work/ visit??). If u can handle it, u can open the phone and check the port for these.. and may use some EVAPORATING contact cleaner, ipa, petrol, or even ur body spray to clean it. Use an ear cleaning buds if u need. ( be sure not to wet/ short/ the motherboard.) And keep the jack end( where u cleaned using the above things) under an incandecent lamp so that the heat will dry out the rest of the cleaning liquid.( but not so close to lamp to avoid damage due to over heat- especially take care of lcd benith the pcb).

Hope it will help u.

I have X10 mini pro with stock 2.1. Having no problem in rooting and installing CWM 3.2.0.0 R5. But it comes with busybox 1.15.3. When I update it to 1.19.3, I don't have any more access to CWM (pressing back button while booting). Have to install CWM again, which comes with Busybox 1.15.3... Anyway to install CWM, and make it work with Busybox 1.19.3?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timafey:
I've been having problem with my mic on my Vibrant, so i called Tmobile to see if they would do anything about sending me a replacement Vibrant, I have a 2 year protection that I am paying $7/month. They told me that Vibrant isn't available anymore, neither is SGS 4G and my ONLY 3 options of replacement would be some crappy blackberry, Defy or Cliq 2.... I told the guy those are all down grades from what I have and that I didn't want any of those and he agreed with me...

Basically I got no where, spoke to the manager that told me the same thing, then I spoke with loyalty department (been with T-mobile for like 7 years) and the best they could offer was was $20 off HTC Amaze...

Anyone else think this is ridiculous and/or have any suggestions on what I should do? I don't think it makes sense that they should downgrade me... if anything if they don't have anything as good, then give me something better.

If anyone else ran into this please let me know what you guys did to get a replacement?

Thats ****ed up. I pay the $7 a month too and the first time it was giving me trouble they just sent me a new one and i had to return my defective unit. Thats all. If it ****s up again they better not ask me to downgrade :mad:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasonhunterx:
Try replacing mic I guess
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timafey:
That's exactly what i said! Guy told me to call Monday bc their inventory gets updated then. So I'm going to call them then, but that is still bs, i run 4 businesses, if my customer isn't happy i upgrade them or refund them, not charge them more or downgrade them... I don't understand how that even makes sense. I'm going to try calling them on Monday, but to the those of you guys that are paying for the warranty don't bother, apparently once they run out off the phone you have they might give you a Nokia flip phone if they don't have any more budget Android phones to give out.

I called Samsung but they only have the warranty for 1 year, and you have to send your phone in for 2 Weeks while they work on it. So i guess they want you to use the payphone while you wait..

Wow OP I've also been with tmo for 7years and also paying those ****s the 7 bucks a month too.

Good luck ill call them and talk **** about me paying 7 bucks to get a downgraded phone tomorrow.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streetrider nick:
I would actually not mind having a defy, I am into a lot of extreme sports and it would be nice to have a tough smartphone. It would be nice to have a phone that I could keep in my pocket while I am commuting to school on mtb trails instead of in an otterbox in my backpack.

Does anyone know if light bleeding from behind the buttons onto the screen is a warranty issue? It has been happening ever since I got this replacement phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heygrl:
The DEFY is just slightly rugged. It's not full on military spec so a case is still recommended. The DEFY is not that bad of a phone though with excellent 3G reception. The CLIQ2 has problems, and a Blackberry.. oh lord. But you do have a Samsung Vibrant - a phone that is over a year old now. What do you expect? Most of the $7.99 is for insurance anyway not the warranty.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djquick:
First thing I would do is cancel that $7 joke of an insurance policy. They tried that crap on me before with my Behold II and I called corporate and they replaced it with a Vibrant. Then I went online and cancelled $28 worth of insurance (4 phones). If you think about it, total up the insurance money you pay each year and that would be enough to cover at least two GalaxyS 2's ($84x7 years).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fliparsenal:
Just called them OP. Same story, I'm getting a call back on Wednesday to update my status regarding the Vibrant being in stock. They did however offer me the glaxy S 2 for 50%...$200 for an upgrade! I'm saving that for Nexus Galaxy.

All three of these choices are downgrades. I'm definitely canceling my insurance after this.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timafey:
That's what I am going for, I'll just try to get them do give me 1/2 off the price of upgrade on Amaze or SGS 2, Ill just sell it and pick up a Nexus. Either they do that or give me something that isn't a downgrade! I'll settle for Sensation.

Well be it 1 year or older this makes no difference, when I got the warranty it was in case I needed to replace my phone it was going to be covered for 2 years with something equally as good, if they would have told me they would instead give me a flip phone I would have taken my chances... Defy is a POS, it has slow CPU, smaller screen, 2GB of memory, thinker, worse battery life... I don't think there is a single benefit to this phone except that it will work if I drop it in the toilet.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heygrl:
the battery life is not worse, it's much better, the CPU is not far off from the Vibrant and as far as I'm concerned stock vs stock the DEFY is a better more consistent performer. I would know, I had both. The GPS worked too. If you've never had one I can't even see how you would run off at the mouth about how much of a POS it is.

The age of the phone DOES matter. The value does not INCREASE on a phone. You can't expect to get a major upgrade just because they don't have any more of your phone. Get real. You don't pay *that* much for the extended warranty, and the warranty does not guarantee anything equal or better replacements. Read the fine print.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
A few things don't make sense.

I'm assuming your Vibrant is out of the 1yr manufacturers warranty, and you are reffering to the $7 a month Assurion insurance.

If you are indeed out of your 1 yr warranty then T-Mobile has no obligation to even offer you anything, not even a downgrade.

Now, if you are trying to resolve the issue by using your Asurion insurance then you shouldn't even be dealing with T-Mobile. T-mobile has no clue what Asurians current inventory is. Assurion claims are done completely seperate from T-mobile. Assurion claims can be filed at the following link:

http://www.phoneclaim.com/t-mobile

Maybe I'm missing something or not understanding. I think the above info I provided is correct but who knows maybe I'm wrong.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timafey:
The warranty is actually split in 2 parts, one is the damage/stolen warranty that you would have to go through Assurion, the other is an extended warranty that extends the warranty an additional year past the manufacturers 1 year warranty. The idea is if your phone gets screwed up with the fault that isn't yours, Tmobile will replace it.

Here is the link with your options:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Thanks, usefil link. I didn't know you had the option to choose PHP Insurance alone for $4.79. That sounds better than the PHP bundle especially considering T-mobile isn't doing a warranty exchange with a comparable model. What do the terms and conditions say? I would read that in detail, if they have to give you a comparable model then I would fight it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timafey:

[TouchPad Development] qwerty007:
This was made for CM7 A3.5, not sure if it'll work right on other builds.

What this does specifically:

1) It makes the status bar 168 in height.

2) It adds 133 padding to the top of the status bar to align the status bar contents back to the bottom.

What it achieves:

1) 16:9 App Space, if a game was designed to compensate via stretch, scale, etc..., for the status bar. A lot of games do.

2) It makes quite a number of games made specifically for 16:9 tablets have better or functional touch UI's so you can actually play them. Dungen Hunter 2 for example will require this. Majesty: Fantasy Kingdom works better with this. Exitium: Saviors of Vardonia needs this to have a fully functional UI in all menu's etc...

Downside:

1) You will have a huge chunk of black space on your status bar. :( Maybe someone more bord can go elaborate and write a toggle button for this or something. I'm not there yet. Lmao. & I've gotten used to it, so it's not that ugly anymore. I rather have functionality over pretty until ICS comes out.

Instructions:

Back up your

/system/framework/framework.apk

/system/app/SystemUI.apk

copy provided framework.apk to /system

copy provided SystemUI.apk to /system

change permissions of provided framework.apk to RW-R--R--

change permissions of provided SystemUI.apk to RW-R--R--

move provided framework.apk to /system/framework and overwrite

move provided SystemUI.apk to /system/app and overwrite

dungeon hunter 2 and exitium are the best example of what this tweak makes work.

for dungeon hunter 2: the graphics and touch control graphics are aligned to the bottom of the screen while their respective touch location on the screen is aligned to the top. the offset between touch location and graphic makes the game unplayable.

for exitium: the menus and stuff overlaps, you can't even access your cash account online to grab your free coins for buying the game. a lot of menus are overlapped, armor screens are overlapped, etc... because the aspect ratio the GUI was designed for is 16:9.

Game List that this tweak helps on (more 2 come):

Dungeon Hunter 2 Samsung GP1000 version + must have ChainFire3D and Reduce Texture to 16bit.

Exitium: Saviors of Vardonia

Asphalt 5 Samsung GP1000 version
[TouchPad Development] omair2005:
could you post a screenshot?
[TouchPad Development] rogabean:
I'm assuming this wouldn't work on the MIUI ROM.

But you did answer my question about why I couldn't get Dungeon Hunter 2 or Sacred Odyssey working.
[TouchPad Development] qwerty007:
well, you need ChainFire3D to get some of the gameloft games working.

toggle 16bit textures on. & try the Nvidia and THD plugins.

:-) this is in addition to ChainFire3D. like Dungeon Hunter 2 was unplayable even when working due to the touch positions being displaced from the visual UI. this helps the put the visual UI @ their touch positions.

also, after you purchase the game from gameloft, you'll have to search the net for the Samsung Galaxy P1000 Tablet apk of the game. there's a thread at rootzwiki on game compatibility that gives a lot of info on how to get some of these games working.

[TouchPad Development] madflava54:
Sorry. The game loads and you can log in if you actually signed up and the screen is just black and you can hear music. I also went into settings and disabled the status bar when an app wants full screen and this did not fix the game from staying just black and having music.
[TouchPad Development] qwerty007:
hmm. im not having this problem. using CM stock A3.5. with ChainFire3D installed but default options only. the initial log in, i had to press hide status bar. then worked fine after that.

Interesting. Maybe I will clean install or something. I tried using chainfire but I am not sure if I am installing the plugins properly. Nothing seems to happen when I try to enable a plugin. Do I need pro?

Whoa, I tried reinstalling without doing anything different and I am stuck on a "Loading" screen. I've been on it for about 10 minutes. About how long did it take you to get past this screen?

Yeah, the game is stuck on the Loading screen. It should be saying "Downloading content" or something like that. Bummer. Not sure what is going on.

[TouchPad Development] madflava54:
It's stuck here.
[TouchPad Development] qwerty007:
ok, googled the issue, and read complaints about not being able to connect & apparently the game makers of this game are retarded; this game has an issue, not device specific, where people can't connect to the content servers. & are SOL because the game developer is completely ignoring the issue. some people complained about un-install, then re-install, and bricked the game. so I tried that, and bam! stuck at loading screen like you. lmao! i guess try to make a new account and see if that'll let you in. the first time i tried it was with a new acct. obviously it's a server or major development problem if you can get in with new accounts but can't get in with an already active one.

add: no luck with new account either. maybe it's just random luck to get into the content download server? lmao. :-) sry, i didn't think ahead and titanium back my app data for you & me before i un-installed and re-installed. lol. i guess if someone out there could provide titanium back up data on this apps external data we could just restore that and avoid having to connect to download it. :)

ro.product.brand=samsung

ro.product.name=SGH-T989

ro.product.device=SGH-T989

reboot, then got the latest version from market. & it works just fine without status bar tweak (so i had to press hide on my tweaked status bar). used chainfire and enabled 4x AA still working fine. some menu's screwed up due to 16:9 aspect ration they were designed for not scaling on touchpad. i'll check out the other product models and download their textures too 2 see if it they make any difference in the aspect ratio problems on some menus.
[TouchPad Development] madflava54:
Yeah...I saw a few people complain about the "loading" screen. Looks like the most recent update has broken the games for a lot of people. Sad because the update has been out for 5 days and the developers have yet to address the issue.

qwerty007,

I was looking into a way to force 16:9 aspect ratio in CM9 Tenderloin for TouchPad and your post looked like a perfect solution. I was trying to solve issue where many of the newspapers (USA Today) and magazines (Time) are missing contents (sentences gets lost) or displaying graphics incorrectly (a picture is looking squashed)

Is there a way to modify your tweak for CM9? It would solve a lot of problems I have been facing. If not, could you point me to resources where I might take a shot at it? Thanks so much for sharing your insight with the community!
