1) Bought a spring-loaded adapter (tripod mount**)
2) If centered, adapter pad presses against both volume buttons ( if slightly off-center, just Volume Down pressed)
3) Can I use adapter without screwing up phone?
Appreciate any relevant insights.
Thanks

I was taking about the mytouch 3g slide and accidentally broke the ribbon connecting the volume buttons to the motherboard. I was wondering if there is any way to replace this? The volume buttons are connected to the same plastic piece that the keyboard was on, but I cannot find either just the volume buttons or the full keyboard replacement anywere... please help!?!?!?!?
thanks in advanced
can any1 help me?
Anyone know if there's a place where I can order a spare volume button, the part that goes under the volume rocker? There's a little black nub that sits on the end of the metal volume button. When you press down on the volume rocker, it hits the nub which presses down the button and registers the click. Somehow when taking apart my phone, that little piece fell off. Without it, I couldn't press volume up. I managed to hack a solution together by just using some card stock and scotch tape in order to press the button, but I'm sure it won't hold.
The nub and the metal button seem to be one piece so I was hoping that it would possible to find *somewhere*, but I somewhat doubt it. Seems a bit too specialized.
In any case, let it be a warning to anyone wanted to open their case to be careful with it.
EDIT: Nevermind, found it. I was being a bit too specific in my searches.

I understand that signals/ resistance from the volume control buttons (1.525-1.495 V for volume down, and 1.619-1.587 V for volume up) are currently unable to be recognized through the Android framework's software. How does Android recognize multibutton headphones signals? Is there any documentation for developers to recognise broadcast signals?
Thanks
Hey guys!
I've swapped my old Xperia Z3(due to the issue with the USB Flap) with a new one. The new one lets you wake it up by pressing either the Volume up, volume down or power button. But it does only do that if it is connected to my magnet connector. This is not normal is it?!

Click to expand...

yup
you can just wake it up using vol. button when it s on dock
:good:
Hello,
I guess my headphone jack button event is handle by msm8974 because the input event name is msm8974-taiko-mtp-snd-card_Button_Jack.
It does work fine if I use a headset which does match the following technical specifications: source.android.com/devices/accessories/headset/plug-headset-spec
But I want to use a headphone jack button. Unfortunanaly all smart headphone jack buttons without microphone doesn't work with my msm8974 module. I did messure them an find out that the mic resistence is missing. According to source.android.com/devices/accessories/headset/plug-headset-spec the mic resistence is required. I guess the implementation of my msm8974 module can't handle this.
I did monitor the events and the only thing I got during button press with GND and Mic 10 Ohm is a headphone pluged in event.
I have the following ideas to solve the problem:
put a 0603 SMD resistor between GND and MIC on the male jack. It's very tight there and my be possible if I could grind the jack a little bit. But soldering on the male jack surface would be very painful. Well, I could use an resistor on top of the plug, like this: youtube.com/watch?v=mn_xYEkDMDQ but I don't want to add so much fragile offset to my phone. I prefer the integrated solution: google.com/search?q=quick+button+jack&tbm=isch
put a resistor inside the phone on the flex cable of the female connector. I have enough room inside my phone for another resistor but it's really difficult to solder on the flex cable because the lines are very small and tight together. I would not able to do this without a microscope.
change the implementation of msm8974 headphone jack handling to make it able to find the button events even without mic. There are many phone out there which are compatible with this incorrect headphone jack button. Does anybody know how to find the according kernel module and how to alter it?
change the headphone event check intervall of msm8974. If the headphone detection would be a lot faster I could listen for headphone plugin events instead of key events. But currently it does take 1-3s until the event fires. Which means I need to hold the button 3 seconds to close the circuit long enough until the headphone detection event got detected.
do you know other ways to add another hardware button to the phone without try to fit an arduino into the phone?
My msm8974 device is a Sony Z3 Compact.
I hope some of you have ideas to solve this problem.
