Hey Guys,

I've got Problems with my headphone jack.

It does not work with every headphones and even with a good working one (yes, it's ugly iPod headphones..) it may not work, if the plug is turned or other "unusual" things happen..

Is this a general problem (cause it's from the beginning - but not as bad as it's right now) or is this only my device?

Will the warranty help or should I just accept that?

Any experiences?

Thanks and greetings form Germany

You checked if you have rubbish in the jack ? Headphone's goes completely in the jack ?
[HTC Wildfire S] ak0r:
Which ROM you are using? MIUIv4 SnapSeries has headphones problem. Use toggleheadet2 app from market to resolve it.
[HTC Wildfire S] FloMi:
I'm using dudemans CM10 build (I'm the guy who wrote the brightness tipp to you :D)

Mhh the dirt thing could be the reason - I did not think about that :D

But how will I get it out?

Any ideas?
[HTC Wildfire S] FloMi:
Oh man, I feel kind of silly I didn't think of this :D

I tried with a needle and a bunch of dust came out :rolleyes:

Nawesome..

Never mind - the Problem is solved :D

But now the plug slips out with the lightest pull, but thats better than bevore.

Thanks :good:

Edit: Can i mark this thread as solved any way?
[HTC Wildfire S] ak0r:
Thanks for the brightness thing. And yes you can mark this thread SOLVED as you got headphones working :)
[HTC Wildfire S] FloMi:
Maybe I askes the question wrong :D

HOW can I mark this as solved?
[HTC Wildfire S] omnomnomkimiiee:
Edit your first post's title ^^

[HTC Wildfire S] FloMi:
I'll do that.

In some forum you can mark a thread as solved :)

you could also use a Q tip to remove the dirt.

I think I may have hard bricked my Infuse... It's giving me zero response. Not sure what happened. I had flashed CM9 to move up to CM10, but I kept getting rainbow distortion, so I went to flash GB bootloader. I used the file given in the guide, double checked I didn't swap them on Odin by accident, and it flashed perfectly in 20 secs. Green Pass and everything. Unless there were supposed to be more than one green passes? My phone just shut off and stayed off, so I just unplugged it. Now it won't respond what-so-ever. How do I know it's hard bricked? What could be the problem? Please give me some advice!

I followed this guide to a T:

Give it some time that happened to me one time and yeah it freaked me out I would keep trying. Take out the battery plug your USB hold down both volume up and down then pop the battery in! Try several methods don't lose it and good luck! Also try Odin 1.85 one or the other.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Svorax:
While I think you misunderstood the point of my post, I was able to jig my phone back to life and am now following these steps! One other question: I'm not 100% sure which bootloader I have. Is the GB loader the one that always asks me if I want to install a custom rom? It has been doing that as of recently, but I'm not sure that download mode is part of the bootloader. Thanks again!

Its fine to root and all but just use what you find here for mods and such. Or ask if you're not certain about something else.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blu422:
I think the beats audio installer only works on non-stock roms, it wouldn't ever work for me with stock, but it always works with cm aokp etc..

The beats audio installer just makes you able to turn it up louder, it does slightly improve sound quality and give you that nifty notification up top when you plug in head phones. I still use it though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Serenity8525:
Hi.. I'm going to be as brief as I can..

I had to get my phone replaced because it got all "defective" on me.. No joke.. it wouldn't Charge, wouldn't call, txt, turn off, tried everything.

called tmobile they said that it was a known issue and that I would have to call samsung about the warrantee. Called Samsung "Call Tmobile"

called tmobile "can't help sorry". Took the phone into the store.. "oh you have the $7.99 insurance! call them" Called Insurance.. "It's not covered call Tmobile". called tmobile "call insurance". finally got someone to actually listen to me after about 6 hours of being on my husbands phone! Got tmobile to send me a replacement. It was the very same SGS4G that I have loved for years.. Then I turned it on... New Load Screen... Gingerbread... (I was on froyo 2.2 before and NEVER had a problem with anything until the phone went completely nuts)

So now my phone....

Can't Send txts without it being MMS

Bounces from 4G to Searching whenever it wants (most of the time it's in searching or just enough signal to make calls)

takes forever to download even the smallest apps..

Basically it's become a phone that I want nothing to do with..

So I talked to my dad knowing that he did alot of rooting stuff to his Droid

He told me "Root the Phone! Put the Rom you want on it and Make it work how you want it. Look up Xda-developers" <-- for a solution it didn't seem to get better than that!

That was my Headache.... Now for my Problem..

As I was reading through tons of stuff on here I saw that there was Slim ICS.. then I saw the "Not Working" section..

then there were different programs that are needed to install different things...

not to mention that I don't want to over work my processor which is a 1Ghz processor

As for a Modem... no clue which to pick... I just need a better connection altogether..

Could You please let me know which things run the best together..

Which programs do I need to root, install etc.. these things

and I'm soo confused right now it's not even funny.. My dads droid was soo easy for him to root and change that he's confused at the process that the SGS4G needs..

Any advice or help at all would be amazing!

I will be eternally grateful for any help at all!

Please feel free to laugh at my situation.. I know I am..

This all started as a desperate cry for something better than what my phone has become.. although I think that this whole thing is going to become one big funny story lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gizmoscoop:
First of all, you need to root your phone, then we'll talk after that. Go read the how to root thread in this forum. It is an easy process. Read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1375517
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Serenity8525:
One Slight problem with rooting it lol... from all of the info I'm getting here on the site it says I need to download something to root it...

I would really love to get all of the stuff needed so that once I root I can just get the whole process done with.

My dad is also on thephone with me right now.. yes at 3:35am lol..

He's trying to help me look through Roms and help me pick the best one. However he doesn't know much about my phone because he's with verizon...

What I need to know is what stuff works best together.. You know, the least amount of bugs and problems. I want to know from someone more experienced than ether me or my dad because We have been looking at this stuff for almost 10 hours... o_0 and it's not getting any less confusing lol.

Thank you :)

Follow the guides to root your phone. Then start looking at roms.

Most likely you'll want to start out with a GB rom and move around from there, you still have to root it to install those.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Serenity8525:
I already have GB... that's what is messing me up badly.. I don't want to have GB anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Serenity8525:
so the link told me..... "No thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

as far as the first link.. there are different programs to root your phone with... which one works the best.

The first one that you sent me to which is the One-Click thingy... sounded great at first! However I also have to download some C ++ thingy and something else before I could even use the program to root the phone..

Honestly a good program would be 1 program to root, one program to install. That kinda thing..

not 1 program to root... wait before you root install these 2 programs then stand on your head and download program 3... i mean honestly that kind of multi program stuff makes me wonder where the "Take this survey to unlock your download" screen is gonna be... lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vopezy:
What would be the fun if you just clicked a button and everything worked.. Clearly something happened to your phone and you paid good money for it to work the first time. Luckily all this is free.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Serenity8525:
I hear that lol... although it took my phone 2 1/2 years to mess up lol.. but yes this is free.. and very very very confusing... but free lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
The least confusing way to do this is a heimdall one-click. Yes, you gotta have Java and the c++ runtime for windows installed but the links are provided right in the first post of the thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358498

Starting from stock gb if you wanna go to ics download Eollie's one-click in the second post.

Now you should have the correct recovery to get to ics.

Currently the most functional ics rom I think is aokp which has auto-brightness working right out of the box.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1733097

A few things here and there aren't quite working on any ics rom:

Wifi calling

Tv out

...can't think of more now but those are probably most notable.

All you gotta do is follow instructions on the links I just posted. That's as easy as it gets. Really.

O. I forgot, to get into download mode turn off phone, hold volume up and down, plug phone into pc.

To get into recovery turn off phone, hold volume up and down, hold the power button until the second screen comes up, keep holding volume buttons. Recovery will come up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chrisbo4:
You should also understand that as great as ICS is, you sacrifice some battery life over GB. There are so many great ROM's for this phone, you just need to see which works best for you. Check out this link... All of the information you need regarding ROM's, kernels, modems, etc. can be found here.

Serenity8525 if you haven't bricked your device because you were linked to advanced level posts. Click on the purple link in my signature. In that thread there is a guide linked by lumin30 called fresh out of the box now what? Read that thread.

For the others that have attempted to help. Remember in the future lumin30's guide should always be linked to new people. It is very detailed and noob friendly.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Serenity8525:
Ok so I would like to say thanks for everyones help... No the device isn't bricked because I haven't even rooted yet.. I want to get all the info all the things that I will need, understand the process then start the process of "NOT Bricking my phone" lol...

I don't think that it's possible to sacrifice some battery when my phone only stays alive for 20-30 minutes... the GB update messed the phone up soo bad it's not even funny... if I was still on Froyo I wouldn't have any desire to Root or change the OS.

As far as that link.... it's not usable... it's listed there 2 times back to back. I did however shorten it until it worked and thank you :)

Just I do know how to get into DL and Recovery mode I have had to do this a million times over when on the phone with Tmobile trying to trouble shoot the issues that have come up since i got the replacement phone with GB. I can not begin to count the number of factory resets this phone has on it...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Heh, I said that about going to GB, then going to ICS. Now I dread when I have to run GB to see how things worked "back then" when doing dev work.

The good news is that with the one-click-back-to-stock packages now available, along with a good backup utility like Titanium Backup Pro, it is a lot easier that it once was. I won't say it's "fool proof" as there are many people who are foolish enough not to read current threads about how to flash and upgrade an SGS4G, or foolish enough to flash a ROM, kernel, or "tweak" that isn't intended for the SGS4G or the Android version they are running.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Serenity8525 if you know how to get into DL mode download the one click in the purple link it will get you onto stock plus root with custom recovery. Then from there follow the directions in the ICS thread you want to flash. Just make sure it is from this forum and not the sister phones. As long as you follow the directions you will be hard pressed to brick the phone.

Like jeffsf stated once you get on a working form of either ics or gb you will wonder how you ever dealt with froyo. I suggest however to flash a different rom once you get the one click in my sig flashed. And just for safety's sake flash it twice and the second time click the flash bootloaders box.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Serenity8525:
sounds like a plan... although i know it will ultimately come down to personal preferences but is there a specific setup that works best?

setup as in...

Rom

Modem

Kernel

etc...?

honestly thats what the main question was. Yea I gave background and what not. Yes I asked what program was easiest to use. People have answered those. However what people didnt answer was the setup variations that work well together.

I mean after all the rooting and rom gets installed and im still on GBis there a combo i can use to get my signal going again? Right now if I want to make a call I have to use wifi calling... since that isnt working in ICS... I dont want to get ICS and not be able to make anycalls. I have a tower about 2-3 miles away from me and never have signal. If rooting the phone doesnt fix the signal what would i need to change to get it working?

so I'm gonna start out simple..

Root with GB cause from what I can tell WIFI calling still works on a GB Rooted phone.

I'm guessing that just rooting my phone and staying with GB will mean that better Kernels and modems will not be compatible?

If that's true then my signal will still be nothing..

but with

ICS

I will need ether wifi calling to work or upgrade the Kernel or Modem... so...

I need setup ideas

GB rooted

Kernel?

Modem?

etc...

and just to play it safe if you guys could help with the ICS setup too

ICS rooted (I think the post was about AOPK?... which has the most stuff working. so that will be the one I would use)

Kernel?

Modem?

etc...

Again Thank you everyone who has been helping me :)

Gapps is Google apps.. market, gmail & such..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Rooting has nothing to do with signal strength or anything like that. It basically just gives you or other programs the ability to read/write certain files on the phone.

If you need WiFi calling, then you're stuck with GB or some app that lets you make outbound calls and then get your inbound calls on a different number than your cell phone.

GB kernels, Blast-off or AntonX are both good. Modems, I like KG4 right now. Not enough time on L-whatever to comment.

Although I'm not to sure what a rooted phone is supposed to look like lol. I go to my app drawer and I see my apps plus a bunch of "com.whatevers" lol so i'm guessing that a rooted phone looks like that lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Serenity8525:
Well if there is a way to change the kernel or the modem and get a better NORMAL Signal then I will not need Wifi Calling...

That's what I need the most help with. Is there a Kernel or Modem that will update or upgrade the signal so that I get better signal.. Currently with GB I have to use wifi cause even though there is a tower 2 miles away I never have any signal. So I figured if I rooted my phone and then put and different ROM, Kernel or modem (which ever will help with the signal) then it might fix my current issue

Basically if my Signal won't get better with ICS (and on ICS wifi isn't working) then I will have to stay on GB...

Question is does GB have a way to get a better signal through running something different ether kernel or modem or whatever else you can change?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chrisbo4:
Maybe different modems? I use KG4 in Denver, but have no service in Colo. Springs. KJ6 gives me reception where KG4 doesn't...

Wow! Thats all.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Let me move on. Using heimdall to flash a kernel to the kernel partition is usually all you need to do to "root" this device.

Getting heimdall to work on windows is sometimes the hardest part... so I'm told... from windows users.

But, After it works, you can flash a new kernel, and install a rooted rom from it's CWM.

Almost everything you need is documented on the wiki.

If you find a problem on the wiki, please either let us know, or just update it! :D

(eh, it's been a long day fighting a stupid kernel SoD issue with the new cm9, I want to stab myself in the face with this phone)
