I'm having some trouble with the official car dock. I don't know if it has just loosened up over time or if it's an issue with the contacts, but my phone seems to disconnect and reconnect itself to the dock every so often while driving. This is a real pain in the ass because I have Locale set to turn on/off Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, etc., when connected/disconnected from the dock. So, while I'm driving and listening to music over Bluetooth or using navigation, both frequently get interrupted. Anyone else experiencing the same issue and have a solution? Thanks.

Sent it back to HTC for repair or fix it by diy. I certainly sure your wires where it connects to usb power and ground is in some kind broken state between connected and disconnected. Why did I know? Because I have same issue as yours before I re-solder it.

Hmm... Interesting to hear, but I'm not sure that's the case with mine. Guess I'll check it out.

Hi guys! Hope you can give me a hand on this...
I´ve been got my palm treo 750 since last March and everything goes really good with it, in fact i love it, but 2 days ago i plugged the headphones in it and only could listen through the speaker of the treo. I tried it sometimes more but nothing happened, the only way it works is to plug the headphones and do a soft-reset, when it starts i can listen to music or whatever through the headphones, and when i disconnect them and turn it off for a while, it happens again, so i have to do another soft-reset with the headphones plugged to listen though the headphones again.
1) I suppose it´s a hardware malfunctioning stuff, but maybe it´s not copmletely broken and could work fine with a soft appl, is that possible?
2) If not, does any one have specific photos and info about how to do the surgery?
3) In case i do the surgery, is it possible to change the socket from 2.5 to 3.5 mm? I mean, it´s only a hardware situation or do I have to install or change something in the treo´s software.
Anything would be great except take it to the technical service bc it could take a very long time to get it back, and i use to need it daily.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE

Also, I had my headset jack stick and I used WD-40 lubricant applied to the inside of the jack using the headset plug repeatedly dipped in the WD-40 and inserted in the jack.
I've had no problem since the WD-40 released the stuck jack and my audio was restored.
Good luck, either way!

hello, thanks for replying, but it´s the same way to fix it on treo 750 (700w)? I would prefer fix it by myself bc I don´t even kive in the US so, and my treo still as warranty, but dont want to send to technical service bc this could take a long time.
is there any application such as headcold v1 but for windows mobile?
I think in my case could be repaired by software bc when I do a soft-reset with the headphones plugged it works perfectly again.
SOLVED!!!
I just used WD-40 to clean the audio socket but i think that was not the solution. the thing is very simple.
From my point of view I think when the handheld is turned off, you should plug the headphones, and turn the device on with the headphones plugged in, and this should work.
my problem was i used to plugged them in when the device was on, and in this situation the socket does NOT recognize the headphones properly, so just plug them when the palm is OFF.
sounds a silly thing but in my case it worked
hope this help anyone who needs it
I just got my official car dock the other day. It works fine, but one problem I have with it, is when my phone is in the dock, it causes noise/feedback on the auxiliary in to my stereo(which is hooked up to the n1). If I pop it out of the dock, it's fine, no noise.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? Any fix? It's pretty much at the point where I don't want to listen to music on the phone if it's plugged into the dock....

A friend of mine (@gIMpSTa) told me it's caused by the car-dock power supply (cigarette lighter) sharing the same ground with your car-stereo...Which makes sense..... Change the ground wire on your stereo or cigarette lighter and you should be good to go!!
yep, its alternator noise caused by a poor ground, could be the lighter port or could be in the engine bay. I would suggest just hard wiring the charger which is what im gonna do when i get the car dock.
I should be able to hardwire it anywhere I can find 5v? It only draws 2 amps if I recall, so that shouldn't be much of an issue...
Hey guys, would this solve my problem?

I wouldn't think so, since it's still being plugged into the same adapter, but just thought I'd check
I just had to exchange my phone because it was not always charging when it was plugged in. I thought perhaps it just wasn't connected properly, but I would plug it in and any pressure I put on the cord would cause it to loose the 'plugged-in' icon. Now of course I'm paranoid that the new one (which seems better so far) will break in a similar fashion. Has anyone else had a similar issue? It looks like some folks on the Vibrant forum are reporting a similar problem.
This might be a silly question, but did you have the door slid ALL the way open? I know I read about a few people didnt "click" it all the way open and the cord would barely fit in there and loose connection easily. The door slides open and feels like it stops, but it will "click" over to lock it open all the way.

Yes. I read those threads too, and I'm sure it was a hardware defect.
I had the same problem. Exchanged it. No problems anymore

me too
I have the same problem. My door is absolutely slid all the way open but my micro USB slot is loose. I don't know how this happened since I use a backup battery charger to charge the a spare battery and then I swap out batteries so I never even plug up the charger. I use a bluetooth stereo headset so it wasn't the wired headset bouncing around that loosened it up. The only time I use the USB cable is to tether and all of a sudden last week I started loosing the connection with the laptop on my lap. If I have everything sitting on a desk untouched it is fine but as soon as you touch the phone or move the laptop much the connection is lost. I have to set the phone down in a way that puts it at a certain angle so that a connection is made.
I don't mind swapping out my phone but DANG, I paid 15 bucks for my screen protector and I got it on there perfectly!
I called att. They sent out another cable. Turns out it was the cable and not the micro USB on the phone.
Interesting...I never tried a different cable.

My phone also have this issue.. But it's charger related.. Sometimes the Traveler Adapter simply disconnects from the wall outlet.. So i'm using the iPhone adapter instead..
I am sure there is a setting for this just cannot find in on the phone or in the hidden menus.
Problem: When the Fascinate is placed in the Verizon Car Dock and phone call is place via the bluetooth connection the call is distorted (over amplified sounds like). The sound quality of the call is simply not intelligible.
Troubleshooting the problem I narrowed the issue down to the actual car dock mount. Sound quality is GREAT when connected via bluetooth and/or connected to the car charger. Place it in the dock and whammo - crappy sound.
I understand there are small magnets that the Fascinate senses and cause the phone to go into Car Dock Mode. Anyway of turning this off?
Thanks All.
If you are referring to the verizon car dock I have the same issue. I tore the dock apart but found no magnets so I believe the issue lies in the electronics in the little black box that slides down and plugs into your phone. My work around is dial a number, when it goes to bluetooth, switch it to handsfree then back to bluetooth. Or slide the charging plug up make the call then push it back down. Yes it sucks...

thanks, I'll try it out.
I will try it out
I will try it out and let you know how I make out.
I was replacing the touchscreen of my Xperia J when I broke a small cable.
It connects two circuit boards. It's the cable that the guy is handling at about 2:30 in this video.
Here is also a picture of the cable.
I would like to know the name of this cable so I can buy a new one from eBay or something
I would also like to know what exactly it does. I noticed that my phone doesn't turn on without it. When I try to turn it on, it vibrates but doesn't actually turn on.

It looks like a Wifi antenna or cellular cable but i'm not sure.
that's an RF antenna. No more connections like wifi, cellular will be transmit if you removed that cable.
