Does anyone know how to fix the audio... - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My captivate audio die it's not the ROM because I flash 5 different ones but the problem is the it comes and goes I have to give it a tap in the back so it could work... But it's more technical then a software issue...

I've read on here on more than one occasion, that the speaker on our phones can come loose, and removing the back cover and pushing firmly in on the speaker will re-seat it. Give it a shot! Hopefully this helps.

It's a consistent issue with cappy's. Looking at the back of the phone with the cover off, the screw on the right side of the speaker is frequently over-tightened during assembly by the manufacturer, thus causing the left side to lift and randomly break connection. If you press to re-seat it and continue to have problems, try backing the screw out about a 1/2 turn (counterclockwise) and try again . Just don't back it out too much or you have the same problem. Good luck!

Glad it worked for you. I use the music player a lot and cannot stand for the speaker to cycle on and off like that. Anyways, enjoy!

Battery door creaking

So, after recently replacing my phone, I received one with a really noisy battery door. I mean the sliding mechanism to take off the back plate. I've tried to cope with it, but it makes my vibrate unusable due to a huge increase in noise. Also, barely squeezing the slider part makes it creak annoyingly.
Does anybody else have this issue? If so, do you know of any remedies? I'm starting to get really annoyed with this, as it makes my phone feel cheap and I can't stand not having vibrate on during classes.

What you can do is put some tape or glue a thin plastic on the inside of the cover to create pressure that should prevent it from moving. It will be on the inside thats way it doesnt look cheap and it will fix both problems. Let me know if it works

[Q] Somehow my loudspeaker keeps going out.

I have to tap/smack lightly on the back of the phone and it will come back in. I assume something has come loose. Is the connection easily accessible on the phone? Or am I going to have to get a different phone?
Pull the battery cover off and firmly press on the speaker assembly...

Silver piece bulging out on left side.

Hey I was wondering if anybody else's plastic piece is bulging out on the left side look at the pics below. The first one is the bulged on the left side of the tablet and the second picture is the right non bulged side. Maybe I'm just OCD but now I can't stop looking at it and its driving me crazy.

Thankfully my screen lifting problem was solved by me just loosening the screws so I'll use that for now until it stops working, but this is bothering me.

I also fixed mine the way you have done it but that was temp solution and I tried tightening as well and the sponge removing solution but all were temp. This washer solution is permanent one.

The washers caused the trim bulge for me. Took out the washers and loosened all screws. No more trim bulge and screen lift is resolved, for now.

Once I get a case this won't even matter because I won't see it but for now I can't stop staring at it.

Did you add in washers, or do you have this bulge without having made any modifications?

Audio jack not keep headphones in

Hello, my I9000 is about 4-5 years old, I've been having trouble recently with the audio port.
Some headphones will go in but pop back out, like it's on a spring. Some will go in but my phone struggles to recognise them, when it does the slightest movement will disconnect them.
I've had a look to see if anything is stuck and I can't see anything inside the port.
Anyone have any tips or solutions that may help?

Problem solved.
Inserted a cotton bud (q tip to our American friends) into the audio port and cleaned it out, came out a little dirty. Now it accepts all headphones and even sounds better than before.

Keeping the black clean

I didn't believe those that said smudges would be problem on this phone, but it definitely is. To top it off, grit is stuck in some of my speaker holes and I've no idea of how to get it out. It sticks out like a sore thumb when the phone is clean...

Damn that sucks mine has stayed clean for the most part, I don't know what I would do either if mine got like that..The speaker holes are sooo tiny very difficult to get clean..

I find the black quite hard to keep clean aswell I use alcohol and a cloth to combat the grease but I'm a little OCD

I have a xtreme full body kit on mine. Completely clear and has 100% clarity. You can't tell there is anything on the front or back. Takes a simple wipe of the phone with a cloth and it shines like new. No case needed.

I just installed xtremegaurd front and back. U can definately tell it's there(as far as the feel). I'm thinking about taking the screen protector off. The back I will leave because I am waiting on my atmosphere case which has a clear back to it so I still can see the back and not worry about debris getting behind and rubbing on the anodization.
