My headphone jack was playing up, so I took it apart and in the process idiotically broke it all together.
I'm just wondering what part the 3.5mm jack is? Can I get a standard motorola one they've used for other models or is this one specific in any way? And more importantly, where to get it from?
Many thanks.

Is the jack soldered to the mainboard?

Sadly, my Gtablet was knocked down while I was wearing headphones. As a result, the audio jack was busted loose.
I was able to open the GTablet and look at the jack and some of its tabs are missing. I can't figure out where to order a replacement (6 connector gold)
This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but anyone open one of these out and is able to source where the audio jack is from? Looks like some simple soldering and I am back in business.
Thanks!
Anyone know any replacement part? Looks like a standard 6 connector surface mount jack, but I can't find a part to order in the US.
Honestly, you would be better off using your warranty. I have spent hours looking for a replacement for my ipod and moto droid and have had no luck.
Hi All,
My previous phone was the Nexus One. I was able to reverse-engineer the in-line buttons on the stock headphones to create a nice track controller out of a work box I got at radio shack. That was easy. It was 3 buttons, and two resistors, and some cables. The strange thing is that the Sensation's remote control works differently, and I'm unable to figure out how it works. All I know so far is that the resistors are the same as were on the nexus one, but instead of functioning only across two of the wires in the headphone cables, the resistance is actually across all the terminals. Aside from that, I was unable to replicate those functions with my mess of resistors and cables. Does anyone know what electric signals those three buttons trigger?
Here is a link to how the track controls for the Nexus One worked:

Unfortunately, this isn't how our sensation seems to do the exact same task.
So I just ended up cannibalizing my OEM headphones. I soldered the leads from my buttons on the box to the board on the inside of the headphone button casing. A new pair of OEM headphones was just $10 so no big deal. If anyone wants help for doing this themselves, I'll post a guide.

Good work! Please do post a guide.
Impressive!

I've just tested the resistances from my shipped HTC Sensation Headset with a Multimeter between AUX and GND pins of the TRRS (Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve, 4-pin Stereo jack) connector.

Here are my findings:
No Button: 3kΩ
Prev: 208.5Ω (This is what my Multimeter reads, the resistor value should probably be 200Ω)
Play/Pause/Phone: 2Ω
Next: 0.5kΩ
Since I neither have the right resistors nor a spare TRRS jack at hand I can not tell if my measurements are correct, they do seem plausible though.
One more thing: German Wikipedia says, Apple and HTC (confirmed for Legend, Desire (Z/HD), Nexus One) swap the GND and AUX pins
That means pinout is like this:
So the ear speaker in my Q is broken . Can anyone tell me is there an option to replace this part from different Motorola phone? Since there are no Photons in Europe I'm forced to buy this part from US, but maybe other Motorola phone has the same ear speaker?
And another question: this speaker is soldered to the board or it's plug&play?
Maybe here?
I was looking at this one
etradesupply.com/oem-motorola-photon-q-4g-lte-xt897-ear-speaker.html
I broke mine replacing the screen and this looks to be the exact same one.
Just a general question about replacing parts in the One X. Have one phone where i'm replacing the ear speaker, and another i'm replacing the rear camera.
Is there anything that needs to be done to get the phone to "recognize" these new parts, or are they just plug n' play?
I've replaced the ear speaker in the one phone, but it still doesn't work. I'm thinking maybe a defective ear speaker. ??? So, i've ordered another. But thought i'd ask in case i'm missing something.
Thanks!
I've had my Nexus 5 for over 3 years now and it has seen countless ROMs, Kernels, rooting, all that kind of stuff. I also bought it in white and decided after some time that I want a black one so I bought a frame and a back panel and moved everything over to the new assembly. Shortly, it has seen a lot of mods.
My father used it for some time and one day he droped it and the microphone didn't work anymore in calls.
The problem was simple: in calls or while recording audio on whatsapp and such, the mic didnt work. While playing back the recording, there was a slight noise, just as you would keep the record button pushed but not talk and let it record only background noise. I can't remember, though, if while in call and on speaker the mic worked.
I bought a used flex cable with mic, charging port and everything on it (of which I was told was new), switched the old one with it and while playing back the recorded audio you can hear an awful distortion with slight oscilations as where the words should fit in.
However, the other person can hear me while in call and on speaker, but the sound is very, very bad.
My guess is that the mic on the flex cable that I bought was broken as well.
I thought of going ahead an buying another flex from a more trusted seller, but I'd like to get some advice firstly.
I tried anything that could be done with the software, this clearly is a hardware problem. What do you think I should check? What could be broken besides what i already know?
Thank you and have a lovely day!
I don't know if this will help but this guy seems to have a similar problem you can try his solution.

Hey!
Audio rec and calls use different microphones, however, I believe your problems are due to the connector slot on the PCB itself not due to flex cables. Just visually inspect your flex cables, do you see any strong fold lines or torn sections? If not it is quite unlikely.
Regarding the connector slot, find some repairmen who is able with a heat gun and flux, who can lift things from a pcb without damaging stuff. They can either reposition it or replace it.
Best of luck and I completely share your pain.

Thank you for your answer. I know I'm replying after almost one year, but I have given up fixing the old Nexus. Maybe I will try opening it up again and checking what you said, but I don't think it is worth it anymore. I still power it up from time to time, just for the old days. Heh. ?
