[Q] The thing you plug your earbuds in? - HTC Sensation

So i was wondering if its normal because every ear bud i plug in my phone, the right side is fine but the left side is all weird after rotating it or applying pressure to it, the left side works temporary
is this normal? and how can i fix it?

No it's not normal.. Maybe you have a loose or faulty jack

sigh my power button now this so a factory defect?

I wish they'd use more durable jacks. This happens to all my phones eventually.

my phone is only... 6 months.. , i used to think it was a pair of earbuds but it was actually my phone... do you know if there is a way to clean them?

It's not dirty. The contacts are bent.

how can you fix this? how does it even happen?

If it's only six months, can't you get it fixed under warranty?

I had this problem once, too. Check wether the plug fits perfectly into the jack! If it doesn't fit 100% (you have to see nothing of the plug) use a needle and clean the jack. I think it's pluff in there. But don't hurt your phone!

yes i'm pretty sure i can, virgin said that as long as the phone didn't blow up or water damage it might be able..
but then i don't think i can do the whole un rooting thing because it seems too complicated to me

Well if you wanna make it easy, back up your current Rom and just flash an ruu over your phone and when you get it back just restore it are you s-off or s-on?

Sensation 4G doesn't turn on

The phone was in recovery installing a rom, when it dropped and the battery fell out.
Now there's no display at all (pitch black), and the led doesn't light up.
I've already tried taking the battery out, putting it back in, running recovery, trying to run adb commands via the PC and it doesn't work. It says device not found, even after install the android SDK package. I've tried booting without the SD card, and nothing. I get no message when connecting to the PC, I've checked disk management to see if it's there, and nope.
Anyway to fix this?
Hboot? Recovery?
If you can't get into either of those then you may be SOL...

Nada.
I'm currently trying to recharge the battery using an external wall charger.
Sounds more like the drop damaged it than flashing and pulling the battery. Nothing I know of that you can flash that will bust up your hboot. It's like using a Windows 7 installation disk to destroy your BIOS somehow - just doesn't really work that way.
nope i was told to do what he did to kill a phone and send to tmob i think that phone is done i hope you are on tmob 611 is your friend as of now

That's a possibility. The fall was very low though, no more than 2 feet.

Well, you never know. After all, a few XDA Sensations every week seem to stop working completely for absolutely no reason at all.

One thing i can't understand how did your battery fell out while phone being dropped from 2 feet (as you said) were you flashing ROM without Battery cover? as far as i know back cover cannot comes out if phone drops...if it did..than your back cover should have broken as well..our sensation is built this way.

Yeah the back cover was off. I was cleaning some dust out of it. That's why the battery was able to pop out so easily. Anyways, after charging the battery with the outlet charger, it didn't work.

Screen turns off..

Is this the beginning of the end?
If I press hard enough on my phone screen, the screen turns off until the pressure is released.. Any fix that won't cost me money.. Is my phone on the road to the trash can?
I'm actually pretty angry right now...
And it does this with maybe 1-2 pounds of pressure applied to the glass.. and it's never done this before -.-

Perhaps applying pressure is loosening the ribbon cable. Ive taken one apart and I find that ribbon cable disconnects rather easily. ofcourse taking the onex apart is a ***** as far as im concerned.

Maybe the cable is loose, but I watched some video where the guy said if the cable isn't plugged in completely the display turns off.
Maybe the pressure is pulling it away until released? I just hope the screen isn't dying for good.
I'm not sending it in to get it repaired, because I can't live with doing "fastboot flash boot boot.img".. If I can fix it myself (for less than $30) I'll be happy.
I'd hate to have my phone die on my now, especially since I started devving :crying:

Anyways, that would make sense, because I *think* the area where my thumb is, is where the ribbon for the screen is?

Try putting some pressure on the right edge of the screen.. theres 3 connections there.. 2 that clip in and one that slides in and fastens.. I can't remember which one provides power... hopefully not the one that slips in.

If its the cable.. I believe the one all the way to the right is power. The thick copper looking one. And it slides in.. I'm thinking it may not be cable related... maybe the LCD itself.... you can always try reseating the cable though.
Wait.. no that's exactly where the cable is.. my bad. I think its the cable
Sorry for my confusion. Almost positive the cable is loosening when you press it.

Well the screen will only stay on if the housing is removed.. works perfectly fine without it.. can press down as hard as I want and the screen works
FML
As far as i know, it is not a good thing,As with the Housing, the housing applies pressure to the phone..that's part of the reason my one x developed screen flex, on the right side...and it is issuing your problem as well. Or it is more likely the cable. Lucky i haven't had this problem yet :victory: . Hmm

well my phone is trashed, and I already took it apart and unscrewed the screws that say "void".. at least I can get my files off
gonna lock it, RUU it, and throw it in the trash I guess. HTC won't repair it, AT&T can go out of business for all I care.. and I'm not paying $100+ to warranty it..
They aren't getting anymore money out of me

I have the housing from the one x I took apart. You're welcome to it if you want to try a different housing. Its white though dunno if yours is black. Youd just have the pay the shipping which should be pretty cheap.

I'm sure XDA members can help piece together a nice FrankenXone for you!

it boots, but....plz take a look

first i must say I searched and found similar issues, but mine is a little different ...
my gal's tab 2 7.0 wont go into download mode. it thinks its charging all the time when it boots it has the red x on the battery symbol.
so I tried booting into download and then was gonna odin etc.... but it just goes to the charge screen before the boot splash.
any ideas would be great ,this tab isnt rooted and without booting into download I dont know to get adb to try and figure it out that way...
Thanx Much MM
Sounds like a bent pin in the charge port.

Nexus 5 wont turn on at all :(

So i dropped my nexus 5 from about 2 ft accidentally and now it wont turn on, and it is extremely hot. Please some one helppppp!:crying:
I don't think it works, but please test it: Press and hold the powerbutton for 20-30 seconds. This will preform a reset (like removing battery). Good luck!

If it is getting hot, it's probably turning on. Looks like you'll have to get your screen replaced. Even if there is no crack, it does not mean the screen and digitizer is still intact.

extremely hot means something wrong with the devices including system corruption, if its hardware problem u might want to send to phone shop for diagnose,, if its software, try flash stock rom.. sees if its boot and showed up boot image...
i hope it doesnt have hardware damage since just a 2feet drop,, nevertheless the digitizer screen

I cant get into bootloader so i cant flash a factory image, there is no haptic feedback too. So i guess its a hardware problem.. the phone has cooled now. But it was extremely hot for an hour. I guess the battery ran out.

If by can't boot into bootloader you mean all you see is a black screen. Well that pretty much confirms that at least the screen needs to be replaced. Get it replaced and when testing it you'll find out if there's anything else wrong (hardware wise) with your Nexus 5. Cheers.

Nope. i got it checked and its the whole motherboard. Now i got to buy a new phone. Still confused how a 2 feet drop did this..
I can say that the body can't holds up that figure impact, our n5 is a whole plastics haha... My fri3nds n5 dropped his at 5 feet from his bare hands on a carpet, guess what, screen broken and its frame gone loose,,, wow, nice build.... However nexus 5 rocks !!!!
I recommend removing the back cover and checking for loose or damaged connections. Also, remove and re-attached each connections and try to boot the phone.

So out of curiosity. First things first
Do u have a case on it and tried with it off?
Do you have a case with a plastic screen protec and or a temp glass. Try removing those some thicker temp glass interferes with operation.
Third. Have u dropped your device?
4th. Are you rooted and made any mods to the system. If no to the cases and glasses and yes to rooting. Try reflashing stock firmware. And then try.
If not rooted and or dropped. Sounds like internal malfuntion. Nothing here will fix that.
U might try looking for a touch sensativity or accsesibility setting or something allong those lines.
What firmware custom roms anything like that?

Well i do have a case, i removed it to check but it still didn't work. I reverted back to stock unrooted. I did drop it and cracked the glass. I had the glass replaced but i didnt noticed the fault until recently. My theory is that as it fell, the connectors on the digitizer came loose.

That is a possibility. I did some work on mine and didnt get the usb home and touch buttons plugged in all the way. The light doesnt work on my recents key and randomly went nuts til i checked it and it was barely plugged in. Just enough to work.

Then ill have the phone checked out. I really dont believe the digitizer is damaged. The fact that only 2 fingers register may really be because of the connector. Thanks for the help
