Speakers

Ok so I have just noticed that my g2x only puts out sound through the speaker on the right and not the left. If i play a song and cover the right speaker you can tell.

One of the holes is a microphone and the other is a speaker. So only sound plays through one of the holes

Speaker dock recommendations?

Anyone have any good speaker dock recommendations for use with this phone?
I picked up a cheapo one with stereo cord input but it's not cutting it. Everything at the stores seems to be made for the mindless iPhone crew.

[Q] Waterproof case for bikes?

Does anyone know a waterproof case that can not only provide access to headphone jack but to usb port as well?
I'm looking for something that I can put on handle bar on my bicycle and use it as gps.

Currently out of stock.

Thanks.
That's a start. Do you know if that case allows use wired headphones and usb cable for charging?

Yes it does but I think that its easier to have Bluetooth headphones while using it in the holder.

True, but I doubt any BT headphones would last 8-10 hours of music

If a waterproof case exposes either the headphone or USB connectors it's not waterproof. Those are the first thing waterproof case makers try to isolate.

Not necesarry. there are cases for swimmers that have molded wires into the case to wich yu connect your headphones to

Thanks for mentioning that one. Ive been looking for a good bike mount for a long time. Everyone I have purchased does not hold up well. This one looks pretty good.

Adjusting pins in the headphone jack?

I've been having some problems lately where the music stops or doesnt play in one side or the other.
Normally I attribute that to bad headphones, but Ive been able to pin it down to the pins inside the jack because if the headphones are no good, the app should still play the audio. I have it set to stop on headphone disconnect so that answers that.
Plus when looking in there, the pins aren't extruded as much as I recall normal for headphone jacks.
I opened it up to take a look as I've done this with other devices. the pins usually have exposure on the outside of the jack you can just push in with a sewing needle or some such and thats it.
This one seems to have it encased in a plastic shell.
Anyone have any recommendations or ideas to try?
It would be hard to use the needle idea and get a good angle for the deeper ones, and with no real light to work with.

Dumb question but have you tried a different set of headphones or try the ones you got in another device.

+1, first rule of diagnostics, take something know working and try it. Just because the pin doesn't look like its in the same it was before, doesn't mean anything. It could be bent and you could be right, or you could be wrong, but until you do as said, try a know working pair of headphones on it or try the headphones on something else, you're just guessing and already took your phone apart for possibly nothing.
If you do determine it's the jack, they sell the whole assembly on Ebay for about $20.

Yes, headphones work elsewhere, others exhibit similar behavior.
Although i went crazy plugging it in and out, trying to clean the contacts and it has cut back alot on the disconnecting/stopping.
My issue is my case doesnt accommodate the headphones 100%, so it puts a little pressure on it, which I think is pushing some contacts in a bit more. I've had this happen before on pda's.

Bluetooth headphones then?

I think your best bet would be something like this, http://shop.mobileweb.ebay.com/sear...sort=BestMatch&mfs=GOCLK&acimp=0&isNewKw=true
Like you said the design of these ports are encased in plastic which would make it a lot harder to adjust the pins. That flex seems cheap enough to try?

I'm assuming you've taken the case off the phone and tried?? The reason I ask is that my fiance thought she had a bad audio port. Her music would also only play on one side of the headphones. She also has a case on her phone. I looked at the phone and it was pretty clear that the male end of the headphone jack was larger than the hole in the case. It wasn't seating properly. So I took off the case and plugged in the headphones. They worked perfectly. Then I went to the garage and got my drill and a drill bit slightly larger than the male end of the plugs. Drilled out the case to the correct size and put the case back on her phone. Problem solved.

Speakers

Has the Nexus 5 got 2 speakers? When playing games I usually end up covering the holes. When I cover the left ones it goes really quiet, but the right ones makes no difference.

Hi,
Nope, there's only one speaker so it's normal... And you found on what side it is

Just the one. The other is a mic. I guess technically the earpiece is a speaker as well
