[Atrix 4G General] :
I just bought a cheap on-ear headphone and same thing happened but when I opened the battery cover and put it back on ensuring the top part is tightly secured it then started working again.

Other than something might stuck there, as the other poster mentioned, the battery cover might be causing your problem. Yes, from time to time I felt the jack was not going in but after fiddling with it gently I managed to plug it. Don't use force, try different sides by holding the top of the jack and go clock wise slightly then try it ti plug it, repeat until you find the right angle.

Good Luck!

mabe have to buy a good blu tooth headphone to avoid the jack
[Atrix 4G General] briggie108:
I had the same problem a few months ago. I could plug the jack in, but the phone would not register any of my headphones. I took a thin pipe cleaner, doused one end in rubbing alcohol and cleaned the inside. Took out a couple gobs of lint and it worked perfectly. Try that. Wait a couple minutes if you do for the alcohol to evaporate before plugging into the jack. Good luck.
[Atrix 4G General] magiin:
I had this issue a few months ago, but like was previously said, it's an issue with the back cover not clicking on properly because there's a very tiny clip that locks in to where the phone jack goes to let the headphone jack clip in the whole way.

Also, because it's constantly exposed outside of the phone, a lot of small dust and crap can get inside, so that can sometimes be a culprit too.
[Atrix 4G General] sp0tted:
Pocket lint. I had this problem as well. I had pocket lint packed way down in the headphone jack.
[Atrix 4G General] Nipit:
So, I cleaned with a spirit my headphone jack, and for like 20minutes I could plug earphones and they were playing nicely from phone, then they started cutting off for some time, and at end again no contact. I tried this procedure a couple of times and as spirit soaks down the problem appears again. Any more suggestions guys? The problem isn't solved :(
[Atrix 4G General] Nipit:

[Atrix 4G General] tc1999:
Thank you. This worked perfectly.

Unfortunately too perfectly for me. Now I have a permanent headset logo on my status bar, even when nothing is plugged in. So I can't hear anything out of my ear piece.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?
[Atrix 4G General] tc1999:
Apparently i didnt dry enough of the alcohol. Solved my problem by blowing cold air for a few seconds using a hair dryer.

Thanks again for the help.
[Atrix 4G General] tehrules:
Glad this thread popped up... I got headphone problems too.

Plug them in, detecting they're there, but I appear to have no sound.... well until you turn your speakers up loud and get a distorted mess.

Any ideas?

Too bad I still haven't fixed this issue. Any help?
[Atrix 4G General] Nipit:
Anyone guys? :/
[Atrix 4G General] Gerrymander:
When this happens to me it's usually because something like a bit of dust or grit has found it's way into the headphone jack. Try cleaning it out with a flashlight and maybe a needle or pipecleaner. The Atrix headphone jack is very sensitive and not too forgiving if something is blocking the connection at all
[Atrix 4G General] k2bikerider:
Thanks, I was having the same problem, and I thought it must be dirty, but didn't realize what to put in there to clean it.. Found one of the kids pipe cleaners and a little rubbing alcohol, and I'm golden. It sure was dirty...
[Atrix 4G General] mgtzo:
I had the same problem, used a paper clip to clean the headphone jack and it´s all good.
[Atrix 4G General] Robert_it:
I just found this thread due to a FU... jack myself. After shining a bright torch down the Jack hole I found the middle contact has "unfolded into the hole :-(

This is for sure not fix-able with a pipecleaner :laugh:

Anybody tried to replace the jack on one of these???

[Atrix 4G General] mixlis:
use a bathroom dirt and salts cleaner like cilit bang for example in a pipe, if this is not working try using solved in water hydrochloricil acid, but not for too long , then use a pipe pured in baking soda and water to clean it ..
[Atrix 4G General] Nipit:
Still haven't solved it, but the jack works on one condition, for example when I clean it with alcohol ( spirit) it works for 3-5 minutes and then again no contact. So the only way is to buy new headphone jack?
[Atrix 4G General] JdgM3NT4L:
I had the headphone tip break off inside of my phone. I just fixed it last night, wish I had grabbed a few pics for you guys. But here's the breakdown.

Before you start you will need 2 tools for holding/bending small parts. Those can be tiny needlenose pliers, hemostats, or tweezers. I used a hemostat clamp and one set of tweezers on my repair. Also you will need the tiny torx tip for removing the screws holding the back of the phone on. And if you can find a little patience laying around go ahead and grab that too.

Remove the battery cover and then take out all eight screws holding the back on (Don't forget the one under the sd holder!). There are 4 black ones and four silver ones.

Carefully remove the back, notice that the wifi antenna is attached to the back cover. This is on the opposite side of the phone as the camera, inside the battery area. You will need to pull the wire from a metal clip that holds it in place as well as unplug it from the mainboard. It isn't soldered to that clip, a nice steady pull will get it right out.

Once the back is off the headphone adapter is accessible. It is simply seated in the cavity that you see with 3m tape on the bottom of it. To remove it I just put a headphone plug into it and gently wiggled it out.

Once removed you will notice that it is enclosed on all sides but one. On that side you can see the gold contacts, with a sticky pad type thing over them. CAREFULLY remove that piece of sticky stuff and put it someplace safe where it doesn't get covered in dust or whatever.

After you get to this point you will be able to remove the contacts one at a time, starting at the hole and moving to the back side. Just grab them carefully, again, one at a time. and wiggle/pull up and the gold contact will pull out.

I cannot stress enough that those pins are extremely susceptible to break if bent or tweaked on too much. So if one should need to be bent back in place, get it right the first time. Use two pairs of hemostats or tweezers, or maybe some tiny needlenose pliers as bending tools. But really. 2 PAIRS guys. Start messing with those using your big ass fingers ain't going to cut it. Getting those contacts in and out was much easier than I expected. The key thing is to keep it all in order so you don't get confused when putting them back.

Once you've got the pins cleaned, or like I did, bent back into shape. Simply reverse the process to get it back in place.

One last thing. Be sure to have clean hands. And don't handle the sticky stuff much. Those are contamination/water barriers. We really want them to do their job.

Well one more last thing. I didn't try this with the jack still inside of the back cover. But after thinking about it. There is probably no reason to have to remove the headphone jack from the case. The opening where you pull the contacts out is accessible with it in place. I would do it the same way again. But you are welcome to give it a go without taking it out.

Good luck.
[Atrix 4G General] numnutss:
I know this is an old post but I have to add this.

My headphone jack dosn't seem to sit right and when I knock the jack it makes the phone call the last number dialed, so I have to put in a random fake number to stop it dialling out.

Mental

I'm using Samsung galaxy s headphones
[Atrix 4G General] JdgM3NT4L:
First I think that I would try a different set of headphones just to see if the results are the same. If that did not work I think that I'd try what I suggested in the post above yours and inspect the contacts. It might be that one of the contacts are out of shape. Or, that the headphones that you are using have a slightly different gap between the channels. Either way, when you move the plug it's most likely shorting the channels and the phone probably thinks that you're using a headset with a 'last call' button. If you need me to, I will take mine apart and grab a few pictures so you can have a reference photo. Can't do it tonight. But I can tomorrow sometime. Just say the word.

[General Questions and Answers] fatimarvin_15:
ok we all know that unlocking bootloader removes the DRM even if we relock the bootloader.

my question are:

1. is there a way to backup first the DRM before unlocking bootloader

2. if yes, is there a way to restore it

================================================== ==========

another thing is that TrackID doesnt work because of DRM key deletion during unlocking bootloader. "Music Like" doesnt work also because it is connected to TrackID.

my question here are:

1. There's update of TrackID on android market. I dowloaded it, TrackID works again but still why "Music Like" doesnt work?

2. Is there a modified version of "Music Likes.apk" so that it will work together with the newest version of TrackID?

Thanks.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggsre:
I did do some searching and I did not find anything that answered my question (at least in a way I could understand).

Get to the point.. OK. I updated my Nexus S phones (2 of them) to ICS. I love it but my wife does not. :( The problem is that she hanges up on phone calls with her beautifully plump cheek. She holds the phone close and touches the big red "End call" bar to her cheek and... "#%&^@%$ this stupid phone...Can't you fix this thing?! She is sweet but she has a potty mouth from time to time.

Anyway I want to put 2.3.x back on her phone because to end a call with Gingerbread you have to do the slide thing. I found the file ( 98f3836cef9e.signed-soju-GRI40-from-GRH78C.98f3836c.zip) downloaded it, copied it to the phone, figured out how to get to the recovery process but the "update" ends with an error something like:

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

I wanted to link screenshots here but because I am a NOOB... well you know.

Anyway, Pleae help. I am pretty good with computers but I am new to working with the phones. I've never rooted anything (However, I do root for my team from time to time.. ha - sorry)

Thanks in advance. (Please don't hurt me...) :o

There's always the UOT kitchen (http://uot.dakra.lt). It can be fun creating your own, and the kitchen makes it pretty painless (unless they're full, then it can be a painful wait). On the "Files" tab of the kitchen, select System Files, and upload the files requested (SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and com.htc.resources.apk - found in /system/app/ and /system/framework/ in the .zip of the ROM you flashed). Click the battery tab, choose your mods, let the kitchen cook it, and you're done. It'll give you a .zip to flash in Recovery (obviously this requires that you have custom recovery, otherwise you'll have to manually push back the modded files that the kitchen gives you in the .zip).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] formicae:
Use the UOT Kitchen. You'll need to pull your framework-res.apk (in /system/framework), SystemUI.apk (in /system/app) and com.htc.resources.apk (in /system/framework) from the phone to upload, and when you're done you'll have a ZIP you can flash from recovery.

Follow the instructions and it's a piece of cake.

Edit: beaten!

The kitchen doesnt play well with the resources and SystemUI from ICS. In order for them to fix this issue they'll have to use the ICS version of apktool to decompile and recompile with an older version. That's how i do it and it has never failed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meltus:
Ok, some of you will like how this looks, some of you will hate it. Judge for yourselves :)

In my opinion it looks much sleeker and utilises more of the screen (whilst preserving functionality).

It looks MUCH better on the phone, the screenshots don't do it justice :p

Things you'll need

- ADW Launcher EX (or one with similar functionality)

- BobClockD3

- A ROM that allows you to change the softkey colour

- LCD Density Mod app (or do it manually if you prefer)

Step 1:

Change your Density from 320 to 240.

Step 2:

Install ADW Launcher EX (and make it default)

Step 3:

In ADW Launcher settings change the Draw Style to vertical 4D (I hate the stock ICS one), the portrait columns to 5 and portrait rows to 6 (I don't like using the home screen in landscape so I didn't bother with the others). Turn on Fade to Black too!

Step 4:

In the Main Dock settings, make sure it's disabled.

Step 5:

in the Screen Preferences tick Hide Statusbar.

Step 6:

Go to General Behaviour > Gestures and set Swipe Up as "Open/close App Drawer". Also make sure Swipe Down is "Open/close Notifications" (It should be by default).

Step 7:

Se your wallpaper to black (or whatever you want, but I prefer it plain).

Step 8:

Place the BobClockD3 widget in the top left (may need resizing). The one in the screenshots is using the default colours.

Step9:

...

Step 10:

PROFIT!!!

Optional Step (But I'd recommend doing it):

Change your Navigation Buttons colour to black (you get used to not being able to see them after a while!)

So yeah, that's it. Takes about 2 minutes, reversible in less and looks awesome!

(Swipe up to open app list, swipe down to open notifications)

Enjoy! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptrk-:
Hello,

I have been using some release candidates of ICS which were available here on my i9000. Everything worked out generally fine. Sometimes my phone crashed and then it wouldn't want to go further than my i9000 and afterwards the google screen. Both screens would just repeat endlessly without the phone doing anything.

When this happened, I was always able to go back to recovery mode and uninstall everything and reinstall the rom. This would always solve my problem.

Now here is my current issue: on Saturday my phone crashed again, but now I can NOT enter recovery mode any more. Whenever I plug in a usb cable or normal cable to charge my phone it shows the calculating sign and after a few secs it's gone and starts all over again instead of showing the green battery slowly getting full.

The only thing which works is getting into download mode. So I tried to get odin to work. I installed kies to get the usb drivers and I opened odin (on both windows and a mac), but it does NOTHING.

Is there any other way I can reset my phone to get it somehow working again? Is there another way to get into recovery besides the buttons or using odin? I know of ADB but that requires the phone to be on....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emexrulsier:
When you plug your phone in (and enter download mode) what device type does windows detect it as?

Because you can get to download mode normally a "good" sign that it isn't bricked (and even when "bricked" it can be un-bricked)

Just tested mine, entered download mode and odin shows it connected on Com6, device manager shows it connected as a "Samsung Mobile Modem"

try and install the samsung modem drivers separately then try and connect connect
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.AFK:
Hi,

first, be sure that all Kies-services are disabled via Taskmanager otherwise ODIN wont work correct!

then Bring your SGS1 to the Downloadmode, connect the USB_cable at the phone.

fullfill all sections you need in ODIN (PDA-Kernle, CODE-modem, CSC-CSC, pitfile512) klick repartition on

then connect your SGS1 via USB to the PC

Odin will show "connected"

Press start.
