[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delatour:
Same here. Worse and worse since a month.

I've read a lot of things about that... some have put some air from a can because of some lint and they managed to have headphones working again. You could try that.

I was about to phone to google in about a week to see if the nexus 4 can be replaced for that reason (it's not software related, i have tried differents roms and different music apps) (and i've tried a lot of different headphones... anyway, "before" it worked so i don't know, the nexus 4 fails to detect the headphone properly)

Right now you could use an app called SoundAbout and force the sound to use the headphone... but it doesn't work that well, if i move my nexus 4 the music player stops playing, so it isn't that useful.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopezk38:
Does the actual connector socket wobble a little? Mine does and it gives me audio issues. I think I'm going to have to RMA my 211k
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delatour:
Yes i think i can say that it moves a little bit. I remind of someone who said he had opened the nexus 4 to fix the headphone jack but i am unable to find where i read that neither if it was really a nexus 4, anyway at the the time and now i don t want to open it... please tell us if google accept to rma for that if you tell them before me, i wont be in canada before next week :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jets555:
Now I have no sound from my headphones and the phone won't detect them either. I'm gonna send it in to Google. It doesn't look like it will fix itself over time. Its getting worse and worse.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delatour:
Even if you force the output to headphone using the app SoundAbout?

Anyway even with SoundAbout it is annoying i will call google too, tell us what google tell you when you call i am afraid they say we have destroyed the headphone jack...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jets555:
I will call Google in about a week (once school is finished in Canada). They should replace it if you still have warranty. Did you root your phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delatour:
So I called google (me and my poor english when i speak).

I went back to stock before calling and relocked the bootloader ( http://hippowise.com/revert-stock/ )

But the google representative only asked me to do a factory reset in order to see if this would solve the problem. I haven't said that i just got back to stock and no it doesn't work. I would'nt have told that i had rooted it and had a custom rom. Anyway even with stock rom it doesn't work.

So my case will be reviewed by another person but he told me that there will be a replacement, i will receive an email with the process (i guess the usual process... pre-authorize a payment, they send me a new one, then i ship them the one that isn't working properly).

So that's it... no miracle... it will have to be replaced :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delatour:
I have received mine. Sadly, as we are canadian, it is the canadian one (booklet in french), probably same batch than the one that wasn't working. Hope it will be ok :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuvin:
Are you guys talking about a 302K batch of phones or a 301K here?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delatour:
They sent me a 301k, same one i ordered in january 2013.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuvin:
Hm, I've also gotten numerous 301k devices (RMAs) but they don't have any of the headphone issues. Probably just a one-off thing for you guys.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknownprotocols:
more the same

My phone thinks that headphones are always plugged in. I tried blowing out the headphone jack, checking jack for lint (none), and have had no success. I cant RMA it because I was impatient and bought it from an ebay scalper as soon as it was released. So... I ordered a new headphone jack from Hong Kong. It should be here in about a week now. (Wish me luck!)

I imagine that mine is broken from wear and tear. I use headsets a lot at the gym, and other places. Probably 40 plug and unplugs a week for the life of the phone... The soundabout app works for the most part, but I still have issues with music starting to play or pause when headphones are not even plugged in. Most annoying being when it decides to pause on bluetooth in the car... I really hope the replacement jack solves my issues.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delatour:
I use my nexus4 essentially as a mp3 player so i think i might have given a hard time to the headphone jack... i am now really taking care of it. I understand your frustration, i have thought about bluetooth but there is really something wrong if the player pauses... with bluetooth enabled... in the end, even soundabout wasnt working properly. Luckily google rma is great otherwise it would have been my last lg phone... i cant understand that we are able to abuse a headphone jack and there was no lint in the headphone jack.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknownprotocols:
My case has a little sealable flap over the headphone jack and charging jack that keeps lint out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jets555:
Yeah, I think mine doesn't work because of wear and tear too. Its been unplugged violently a couple of times when it fell out of my pocket. I gonna call Google this week. I have tried factory resetting but it still doesn't work. Do they send you a replacement before you send your phone in?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delatour:
I phoned them.

I explained them what happened (i unrooted it and locked bootloader just in case they would check i have a custom rom)

He asked me to perform a factory reset.

He told he will send my case to someone who will send me an email with instructions

A few hours later i received an email with a special link to buy the n4 again but it won t be really charged if you send your n4 in the next three weeks.

Then you receive an email telling they will send you another n4

In this email you can print a ups stamp that you will put on the package so it is free shipping to send back the other (lg repair center in toronto)

Then i received the new n4 then i put the old one in the package and used the ups Web site to schedule a free picking at home.

Honestly google gave a great customer support .
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jets555:
Thanks bro. I will call them :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphantomx:
For your new device, did you have to pay for shipping given two shipping options? (3-5 days and 1-2days) why are we supposed to pay for shipping if its a "replacement"..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delatour:
I dont know if i use the exact english word but it isnt like you really pay you only pre authorize google to take the money... because they send you a new one before receiving yours... so if you dont send them your old one they will take the money, they dont want to be screwed :P

For the shipping i dont know because for canada you cant choose an option, if i were you i would chose the expensive one as in the end you wont pay...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphantomx:
That's why I'm confused, they're offering two shipping options how come?? so for example in my case the total price would be $343 for my 8gb RMA I should get refunded all $343? by the way there were no shipping options when i bought it originally..so weird!!!!!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delatour:
I think their order form is not made especially for RMA, it is the normal one... anyway you pre authorize the whole amount, so they wont be able to only charge you the shipping cost in the end... well i guess :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphantomx:
I'm just gonna ask them haha!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I solved a problem where my music kept pausing and Google now activating when you wiggle the jack:

When you look at the jack you can see two contract points, you need to isolate the top one. I did this by getting a small rectangle of electric tape and covering the top contact and putting the rest on the top of the phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delatour:
Wow it sounds great, if i still had my n4 i would have tried that, anyway i am sure that my new n4 will have the same problem, so i will try this one day :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adithya890:
headphone jack problem

i have this wired problem on my nexus 4 , when i try to listen to music via earphones i can only hear it on the right side , looks like there is a contact problem with jack . any solutions

PS it plays on both sides if i hold the jack hard . i have tested with different earphones its the same with all :(:confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
I don't think it's the isolation that's solving the problem. You mentioned you can wiggle your headphone jack, which means the headphone port is loose. The electric tape is probably just taking up the extra space and making sure the jack is actually touching the port.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I am right.

The lowest pin is ground, then the 2 channels and finally the top one is for headsets E.G. microphones, buttons... And this pin was broken (or "loose) so covering it fixed it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milkchug2000:
Did you ever get this fixed? I had the same issue and the replacement jack didn't solve. Very disappointed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknownprotocols:
i wound up just getting a Nexus 5. i tried replacing the jack too, and it didn't work for me either.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SurlyDuff:
Crap. I just started having this problem and support staff gave me the same runaround about factory resetting. Since my phone has been out of warranty for the past few months, I guess it won't be fixed. I guess I'll just wait for the Moto X+1 and deal with the wonky headphone jack for now. Oh well, 1.5 years is a pretty good run and I was planning on upgrading this fall...though I obviously wish it had lasted a little bit longer.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lobbi145:
Possible picture of where to put tape

What ganon110000 mentioned is exactly what I want to do. Voice Dialer pops up constantly when I have my headphones in because some signal/static to the "microphone" pin is taken as the correct keyword. I don't need voice dialer as much as I need it not to pop up randomly. Could you possibly post a picture of where to put the tape?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ΦDroid:
I have this same problem with voice search, but it can also play/pause music. This is with a regular set of headphones, with no inline remote. I think there is just a bad connection in the jack. I think I may have fixed it by disabling all inline remote support within my ROM, but I haven't had much time to test this fix. I don't use inline remotes anyway.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You'll want to cover the top pin of the port. I'll make pictures if you want me to but I got a replacement so I don't currently have this mod installed.

Edit: Cover this pin: https://imgur.com/T7OSd9F
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ΦDroid:
That makes sense. If my software fix doesn't work I'll give it a try. It seems to be working so far.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Petralein:
Hello!

I have my MDA Compact now since a few days. Everything works fine. But:

He doesn´t ring and vibrate when a phonecall is incoming. I checked everything. I checked the caller-id-options, the telephone-options, the sound-options... :(

He gives a sound and a vibration to show me an absent call. But he doesn´t react to an incoming call with sound and vibration. If the MDA is in Standby-Mode - he turns on. that´s ok. If i push the green Phone-Button i can have the phone-call. But no ringtone or vibraion at all...

Hard to explain for me - sorry for my english..

Kind regards Petra
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juliogol:
Hi guys,

I hope you pleeeease can help me I am desperate. Turns out today I Got a new N7100 because my old one was broken so the guarantee gave me a new one. When I returned home, i made a restore backup from my old phone into the new one and by muistake (stupid stupid mistake) I didn´t backup mi EFS folder, so now the phone is not working and giving me a generic IMEI....

Please tell me that there is a way to fix it without the EFS backup... I am just about to cry here :(

Thanks and sorry my bad english!

One night my phone was dying so plugged the charger up at 1% but even with the charger in it went to 0 then cut off. no "powering down" pop up like normal so i went to bed and let it charge. when i woke the next day after about 8 hours it was on 76%! normally it would have been fully charged. Now its really long to charge. Can someone help and tell me what's going on?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Donte21:
I'm using Cm 10.1 normal settings. I haven't been using the charger that came with the phone ever. It started acting only after it shut off at 0%
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] krazierokz:
its not recommended using other chargers it sounds like you are not getting enough juice from that charger/wire..... but if you are make sure your battery never dies because the more it dies the more strain you are putting on that battery also you will be better off using the usb wire and a computer to charge are you familiar with FAST CHARGE ??? i would suggest getting another charger

Edit: i have a nexus 7 and i had your problem before i have an after market 10 foot usb wire to charge my phone but when you are using it or there is an app that is draining it it will not charge because there is not enough power coming from the wire but if i use my factory charger for the nexus all is good on low battery and it charges so yeah ... just an fyi

And before someone says it i read tons of forums but recommendation is jus better to me

The blue light showed up, but due to some problems i couldn't continue the unlocking process. I disconnected the phone from the PC, but the blue light was still on. I tried turning the phone on, but no response. I tried pressing up+power, no response. I tried connecting to the PC again, nothing. I tried every single thing ,but the phone won't turn on and the light won't go off.

Dunno if it's a bug or a jelly bean kernel related issue, but my maps drain the hell out of my battery. Right now, the Maps process is at 21%, screen 14%, cell standby 13%, google services 10% and android system 10%. Is it normal that my maps drain the battery more than my screen and operating system, even if i did not start the aplication lately? On stock ICS i did not have this problem... I came up from 6.1.A.0.55 stock, unrooted, did factory reset. So it's not a clean install issue. I think it's the rom, anyone have the same problem?
