Putting in a T959 Vibrant's headset jack...

I bought the kvn part as well, and will also confirm it works fine, and it is chunky! Really chunky, but it should be durable.

Since it annoys me to have that big chunky cable hanging off the end of my phone, I am ordering this part: Samsung-T959-Front-Speaker-Flex-Cable-p/smsng6085900, which is the headset jack and speaker from the T-Mobile Vibrant.

Since the Vibrant is almost the exact same hardware, I'm hoping this will work without any mods other than just swapping it in.

I notice the Vibrant folks are ordering our i9000 front camera from the same place and popping them into their Vibrants without much effort. Just remove the paint from the glass and push the driver file. Sounds promising for this headset part working.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] stan28:
For those that are still looking, I got this from ebay (could be clone, i couldn't care less). It works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] distortedloop:
Replacing the jack works!

I just installed the speaker/headphone-jack assembly for a Vibrant into my i9000 and it works great.

Tested with my Etymotics HF2 and Bose earphones. Sound is perfect, mic is perfect, mic button does the pause/play/answer-phone thing.

No more kludgy adapters.

I made a video of the process, and will post on youtube after some editing. It's not particularly difficult; if a thick-fingered old dude like me can do it, anyone can. Screwdriver is only tool required. Probably voids your warranty, but if you keep the old one around, you could replace it before sending in for repair if ever needed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] huheeje:
Just to make sure I got all of this right: you own the international version of the galaxy s, and you modded it to make it iphone headset compatible? With that little thingy soon on youtube?

I am facing the same problem with my samsung wave and Soundmagic mp21 earphones.

Can somebody here please help me identify which connections need to be switched in order to make the earphones work. Here is a pic of the small box which contains the mic,--

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] distortedloop:
Can't help you with just that picture.

If you have an ohm meter, just check continuity between the four points on the male end of the plug with the wires coming out of the cord at the box you're showing.

You'll want to swap the two for ground and mic, so that it's t/r/r/s (L/R/M/G), where t is the very end tip, and s is the ring closest to the sleeve/cable.

This of course assumes that the root of your issues are indeed the pin-outs being different in the same way as our Galaxy S phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] andd64:
hey distortedloop,

a few questions:

does this mean that the flex cable allows for regular (basically non-nokia) tv-video out cables to work too?

do you think this setup will work on the i9000m version?

will changing the setup alter the use of regular (non iphone/bb) headphone jacks? Meaning headphones w/out a mic.

how's that video coming along? ;)

p.s. how do you even find stuff like this?!?

Thanks man

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] distortedloop:
Just a few dollars at Best Buy if I recall. Just grab something made for the iPhone and cannibalize it.

The problem with home-made is they're too fragile. The overpriced commercially available adapter mentioned earlier in the thread has proven very durable to me. The homemade ones with the very thin cords don't seem to last to long in my every day use.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] distortedloop:
I had issues with the proximity sensor after the mod (it's part of the assembly with the speaker jack). I suspect the replacement part I got was defective. Some day I'll replace it and try again.

Since the Vibrant jack is iPhone compatible, I'd expect non-iPhone headsets w/mic to have the same issue in reverse.

I got the idea after seeing the suggestion to put the i9000 camera into Vibrants...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] PimVB:
It works perfectly, thanks for the solution!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] noCOMPLY:
I have a Vibrant and I seem to have the reverse pin-issue as well. iPhone compatible headphones aren't working in my Vibrant the proper way (mic/button). According to what you have found, they should?

EDIT:Phone is fine, seems headset is broken :rolleyes:

Went to Urban Outfitters, tried a bunch of headsets both with and without the "Nokia" adapter. No stereo sound with adapter unless talk button was held down. Sound/mic working fine without the adapter. Talk about a wasted day and a half of Google/troubleshooting...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] cheeq:
the site indicates that you need to buy three of these units... any chance you have a spare one and could send it over to australia? :p

if not, and probably more useful to the general public, did you ever get the video done?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] spoidar:
Hehe, I actually asked the exact same thing via PM. The thing that's putting me off is that shipping is ~$35 to Oz, so the total for 3 + shipping is ~$50, and distortedloop says the units he got were defective.

They out of stock right now, but I've sent them an email asking them to confirm that they are actually working before I go any further. That said, perhaps we could split the cost? Since we have to buy three, anyone else in Oz who is after one should speak up - at ~$17 it's a much more attractive option, provided it works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] cheeq:
Haha, yeah, the whole business is quite expensive, but we can do it sure if we split it by two or three. was it just the proximity sensors that didn't work or did the whole unit give up on him?

let the people speak, we need another, the more the merrier! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] distortedloop:
Hi guys.

It was BOTH the proximity and light sensors that didn't work. I didn't even notice at first, but after a little bit of use. The phone would not auto-dim with the parts I got, and the proximity sensor won't work either. The prox sensor not working means the screen won't go on and off as necessary during a call and this lead to some issues with answering or using the phone for other things while in a call. I'm a bit hazy on the problems now.

I can't be sure if the parts I got were defective, or just not compatible. Might have been a driver issue as well.

In the end, for my phone, I found the lack of light and proximity doing what they're supposed to more annoying than the funky adapter cable I was using.

edit: PS. - I asked the company about these and they said next time I ordered some, if I did, to specifically ask that they check the proximity sensor was working before shipping. They seem like a decent company.

Similar problem on Galaxy Apollo I5801

I know this might be slightly off topic, but I have not been able to find Apollo specific information. I just bought a pair of Zagg Smartbuds to use with my I5801 as listed here: http://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-pa...+Galaxy+Apollo+i5801&cat=Headsets&skuno=87340

When I got them, they didn't work in the phone. They did work in every other 3.5 device I had access to. After reading this forum (and others) I am wondering if the Galaxy Apollo has the same 3.5 jack as the Galaxy S. I don't really want to spend $17 for the adapter only to find out that my phone has a different problem.

Can anyone confirm that the apollo has the same physical plug as the S?

Thanks.

Hi folks!

Got the galaxy s last week only to find out this annoying thing with the headphones. Google brought me here.

It would have been a deal breaker for me too.

I'll make the adapter cable, but before I do, can anyone please confirm that if I use an ordinary headphone (without buttons and mic), I'll be able to use the headphones to listen and the phone mic to talk?

************

Changing the phone jack for the Vibrant would've been an ideal solution to me, but it seens that the issues with the proximity and light sensors are not ideal.

So here's a suggestion: maybe there's a way of rewiring the original i9000 jack so it can have the pin-out we want.

The same company sells those two:

globaldirectparts.com/OEM-Samsung-Ear-Speaker-Flex-Cable-p/smsng6087160.htm

And if that doesn't work, there's a third way: put just the vibrant jack on the i9000 sensor.

The international shipping is quite expensive (US$ 35,00), and I'll not spend US$ 50,00 only to find out it can't be done. Shipping to the US is a bit more affordable.

************

PS: distortedloop, did you ever posted that video? I was curious to know if it's difficult to change the components. It's a simple swap, or do you have to use the soldering iron?

PS2: flashing the kernel that kar200 said, really doesn' work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] chavesbr:
I tried the K13C Speedmob kernel and it does work.

There's only two minor issues with the software fix.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesc:
is there a way to enable usb debugging without getting into android ? i mean from a fastboot command or something like that..

I think my N1 just get bricked, i cant get into recovery or fully boot android (stuck in the first X screen), but i can go into bootloader and fastboot the thing is i cant flash anything i get an error of signature or something, which i think is because usb debugging isnt enabled
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
USB debugging doesn't have anything to do with fastboot, different drivers on PC host, and different firmware controlling USB on the phone.

If you can get into bootloader, you're not bricked. Bricked phone doesn't power on.

Look for flashing guides and reflash the images. Signature errors mean you're not flashing the stock ones and your bootloader isn't unlocked.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naymin:
I got the same problem too. So what do I do to root my phone cos my security is on.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Ok here's the deal Jake_R1 is right usb debugging is useless in fastboot it is used to issue adb commands and you need daemon to do that which you don't have when in fastboot. So what you guys will need to do is passimg to get back to frg33 then if you want you can root with superoneclick (rageagainstthecage method).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] observurprey:
My old G1 had a cracked screen, and my friend had one to sell me. Problem was that he installed the Rogers 911 update, so I couldn't root it! Plan-B was to swap out the screen, and after hours of work I got the screen to work! AWESOME! Except that now I can't get service. I don't think it is my SIM-card, because I was able to import my contacts that are stored on the card. My radio version was 3.22.26.17, and therefore compatible, but I reflashed it anyways to be safe. I swapped in the other UMTS board but neither worked.

What else can I try?

Also, what is the best free app to manage pictures, videos, sounds, and all other media, in one place (app).

Thanks! :p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
No way to prevent it. This is how it works by design.

If you want to prevent showing specific folders - put .nomedia empty file into them. You might need to reboot for this to take effect, or to kill Gallery if it's running, or to unmount and mount SD card.

Hello, guys

I ordered a 2nd hand HD2 and it's gonna arrive any time now. Could you guys tell me how to diagnose the phone to know that it's still in good condition with no errors? Thanks.
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Switch it on and use it?
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
It will without a doubt come after being hard reset, so the OS will be running as new when you recieve it.
[HD2 General] chvvkumar:
I am guessing the OP is referring to the hardware subsystems like the camera etc.

the best way is to go through one by one and check for correct functionality.
[HD2 General] dan138zig:
thanks for all of the advice, guys. yes, i'll check the functions like camera, wifi, gps, etc. but beside that, what are the quirks or bugs that only happen to some people? i read about overly sensitive screen, sms sent wrongly, etc.
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
There are an absolute plethora of dodgy problems people seem to have with the HD2, just turn it on and give it a go for a couple of days. If you aren't happy with the phone as it comes do a bit of research and look at installing a custom ROM.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
and don't forget that even if it's 2nd hand, you still get the remaining warranty period, so as long as the seller provided you with a valid proof of purchase you can send it back for servicing in case something's definitely wrong with it.

My stock EVO update was scary. It took between 10 and 15 minutes. It seemed to be in an endless boot loop. It rebooted about 4 times and it finally worked on the 5th. At some point I thought, "if it boots again, I'm pulling the battery." At the end, the voicemail icon was replaced by an error message. I trashed it and reinserted the original icon. There was no indication or hour glass or something letting me know the process was normal. It really seemed like something was wrong.

I can understand if some customers aborted the process pulling the battery, thus bricking their phones. I don't think it would be their fault.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
I think a lot of phones were bricked because of user error. A lot of people probably pulled their batteries. I do agree that there should be some kind of indication that the update was still in progress. I'm rooted and I haven't updated yet since I already get amazing battery life.

bricked mine yesterday.

Made the mistake of running the patch twice. Being used to windows I like to patch first and ask questions later.

Learned my lesson.

1st patch went through smoothly. Everything was great except a few widgets need to be reloaded. Got prompted for a new patch in the afternoon and ran that without checking xda first. And that was all it wrote.

Called Sprint last night and tech on the phone knew exactly what happened to the phone and made an appointment for me this morning to get it exchanged. He said a lot of people are calling in about the same issue. Since it's within the 30 day period he informed me that I will be getting a brand new replacement.

Went to the store this morning and confirmed my phone is DOA. and *suprise* no phone in stock. They indicated they will be order me a new phone. The MOD also told me there are five people showed up last night with bricked evo's.

Called Sprint again after the visit. They are looking for another phone I can use in the mean time.

Not impressed with HTC at this point.
