Hi Everone, again i hope i am posting this in the correct place, my apologies if i havnt,
well I recently lost my stock earphones so wanted to buy another pair.
I bought some of ebay, plugged them in an the sound was aweful, I contacted the seller they notified me that i had bought the earphone for
a Samsung S8500 wave . Upon checking he was correct, however the headphones look identical to my originals.
Here is a rely to what they said, But can this be correct as i cannot see that Samsung would do this, Can someone advis me if there is a difference in the headset wiring.
Regards
Popps Thanks in advance
Hi,Thank you for the response.It seems you have ordered the wrong handsfree.This handsfree has been listed for the Samsung S8500 WAVE and not the Galaxy S2.The handsfree's look the same but they are wired different internally.Samsung do this to maximise sales on each and every phone model.This is why you are probably experiencing like a crackling and muffled sound.You will also notice on the bottom of your handsfree it has a gold jack with coloured rings which will be different to your original one.For peace of mind you can take the handsfree to Samsung and they will verify what we are saying.As this is a simple mistake we are happy to accept a return if you do not require the item.(Please note we normally do not accept returns on handsfrees/headphones).If you would like to return the handsfree then please advise and we will provide you with the returns procedure.We look forward to hearing from you.

I'm not in the habit of complaining about ne1's products but this one takes the cake. This short note is just to warn my fellow forum members:
- In Feb 06, I got a new HP Hw6515 phone. I bought a bunch of stuff from pocketpctechs, screen shields, stylus and these headphone adapters that allows me to hook up my 3.5mm headphones and jacks to the phone's 2.5 mm jack.
- I have an 3.5mm aux input on my car stereo also and pocketpctech's angled 2.5mm/3.5mm adapter allows me to use the phones mic when I'm on the phone.
- One day, I find my phone's audio totally silent. Sure, it's probably the switch in the phone's jack which may get stuck occassionally and as commonly reported in these forums as well.
- Alas, that is not to be. This time the tip of the pocketpctech's phone plug has dislocated and lodged itself in my HP's phone jack. All attempts to remove it were furtile.
- The end result was a whole bunch of hassle, the phone can only be used with a bluetooth headset since that's the only thing that will bypass the phone's speaker output.
- I requested for a Cingular warranty replacement and they sent me a refurbished one. I was ticked off about the replacement but subsequent phone calls to Cingular did not yield any progress in getting a new replacement unit.
- I decided to sell the replacement refurb to a friend at a $200 loss.
- I called pocketpctechs and told them about the adapter, they apologized and sent me a replacement promptly.
- I then went out and bought a Cingular 8125.
- I was informed the mic won't work using these pocketpctech adapters with the 8125 but (a) I already have them and (b) the angled design places less stress on the phone jacks.
- Well, guess what? On week two, I took a call one evening and could not hear anything. That's right, I had earlier on, used another pocketpctech adapter, this time was the one in the car on my commute home. To my horror, I discovered the end tip of the pocketpctech adapter in my car was missing!!
- I attempted to remove the tip with an assortment of tools, screwdriver, wire e.g. to no avail as the whole plug itself was starting to loosen up.
- I later found out that one can access the plug from the battery compartment but at this point the plug was messed up.
Post-mortem
- I used the warranty service again and yes, I received a refurb one as well.
- I searched the boards for similar issues but have only seen one mention where the 'tips' may come off. I can only guess that with bluetooth, using the headphone jacks may not be too popular so folks may not have encountered this phone yet.
- I called pocketpctechs just to inform them about this 2nd incident. They asked me what I would need and I told them I don't want ne thing but just wanted to let them know so others don't suffer my fate.
- BTW, the $3 stick adapters I bought from a local electronic store are working dandy.
- The next day, I decided I will keep and use the refurb replacement one since it looks fairly new.
- I emailed pocketpctechs and requested for (a) replacement phone adapter (this time I will yank and pull to make sure it don't come off) and (b) a replacement write shield (except I would like the clear model).
- The following is her reply to my pain and suffering. Like I keep busted adapters lying around! If and when Cingular sends me a bill for repairing the phones after they discovered the tips lodged in the phone jacks, I'll be forwarding them on to pocketpctechs. I would be nuts to send them ne more money!
"We will send you one more PPCPADPT11. However, we will need you to send back all the faulty adapters you have received from us so we can submit them to our manufacturer. We need to have the faulty adapters back in our office before we can send you a third replacement. We have been making these adapters for years and never had this complaint. We need proof to show both my supervisor and our vendor so we can justify sending you three replacement adapters. Before we send you a third replacement, we will have our head technician inspect and test the adapter. It will not be faulty.
We will not be able to send you a C2 WriteSHIELD to replace the AG you orignially ordered. We can only send you what you ordered. If you would like a C2 WriteSHIELD for your Cingular 8125, you will need to pay for one. Please advise. "

Nice! I think I'll order two of these. Thanks.
I bought a galaxy s on ebay, was like new a week old.
Found it to be very fast and amazing but the headphone port seems to be having problems. only one side of the headphones work for some reason and if i twist the headphone jack inside the port and hold it at a certain place occasionally both work.
Have tested in 4 different set of earphones which are fully working and I get the same problem. If I unroot my phone and ask the seller for the original reciept will I be able to get the phone repaired under warranty?
thanks
My usb port didnt work anymore after a week i got this phone. It was sent back rooted and had unofficial firmware. They replaced the port for free however. You need the receipt though..
The samsung employee told me they didn't care about unofficial software. The procedure to make everything default is a 10 sec job
You replacement will be under factory warranty, just like mine

I had same problem. Brought it to SC and they found out headset was faulty. Replaced headset. Headset/accessories only 6 months warranty. So go get it checked out. They didn't even check the phone. So I won't worry too much about custom roms unless you really have an issue with the phone itself.
God bless.
Thanks for the replies. Found out it was due to the fact that the gel case I have on my phone prevented the headphone Jack going all the way into the port. Stupid mistake I know but at least I know its now sorted.

I bought a new motherboard to my n1 because power button wasn't working. I disassembled it fine and swapped the motherboard. When reassembling following this video: www[.]youtube[.]com/watch?v=60yNy4xYcFo , the back speaker don't work anymore. It gives me no sound whatsoever. Everything else is working fine flawlessly, even the power button.
The only difference I had from the video is that my speaker from the back was de-attached after dissembling and I had to put it back and from what I tried, it only fits one way.
Anyone can help me solve this issue please?
i dont know if this is helpful or not, but some of the n1 is modular and you may be able to replace the speaker easily. :-/ i feel for you. dont forget too, you can use a headset or bluetooth headset stereo/no stereo
:-/
My speaker seems like it died today. I have had my N1 since last January.
I searched the forums and didn't find too much on dead speakers.
Are people having this happen more now that the N1 is getting up in age and if so what are people replacing them with?
I found a reference to one site but they want you to buy 5 of them minimum. I am looking for recommendations if anyone has any.
Thanks

there was one thread in the accessories sub forum where some guy purchased a nexus one speaker to replace his failed speaker. i think he was forced to buy in quantity though, like 5 speakers at once or something. but i think his replacement was successful.
this was probably 8 months ago or more. but it was definitely in the accessories sub forum for nexus one. try search around there maybe it has useful info.
I vaguely remember that thread, and I think it may actually have been the ear piece speaker that he replaced... Might be wrong though...

I tested my speaker with a multitester and I get no reading.
I ordered a speaker off ebay for about $6. I will report back when I get in and install it.

OK, I got my speaker from ebay and installed it. Everything is working again and the multi-tester gave a reading on the new one. So I think I blow out the OEM one. I just hope this one lasts.

Hi, someone's having this problem too?
I bought my RAZR from Telcel... the call volume was clear and loud the first two months, i could hear the calls in and outside of an assembly plant (it's very noisy in my work) but now I can't make calls without a pair of earphones because it's now sounds too low from the earpiece...
I'm thinking about bringing my phone to my Carrier Customer Support to see if they change my phone to another one, or change the earpiece or whatever... i'm still paying for it.
If they want to charge me for the reparation or service i'm going to change the piece myself, but in ebay there's not parts available or is there compatible earpieces around... suggestions?

You have Motorola's international warranty and therefore the repair should not be the problem. As you describe symptoms it looks like the earpiece is broken. It is one of the most common failures among cellulars. I doubt that you'll find spare earpiece on the market though. The phone is relatively new and it is hard to get any replacement part. And why bother with repairment yourself if you could get it for free? Not mentioned that RAZR I has compact design and no approach to the interior is provided. You'll more likely damage it than repair it if you are not a professional...
Well... technically, I don't have any warranty from Motorola because i've unlocked the bootloader... i want it to send to my carrier customer service, but i dont have phone for backup and neither for microsim cards... and JB is out... oh well
Hello! I'm new to this phone, coming from a 2 year old Xperia ZL.
I've been using it for one week already and I can't help but notice that every time I plug in a pair of headphones (headset or otherwise) the audio jack wobbles a bit. It's not enough to be worrying, since audio doesn't stop or anything like that, but I noticed the plug follows the female (black plastic) part on the phone. Does anybody else have this problem? I'm getting a bluetooth headset just in case, but anyways.
I've seen somewhere on a Sony forum that someone's audio jack downright stopped working and he had to get a replacement. And even the replacement phone had the wobbly jack. I just wanted to know if this is a common issue or just an isolated case.
I have the same behavior, but dont worry about this.

Thanks! I recently met with another person who also has the Z3C (they are hard to come by, since it isn't sold officially in my country) and not only he also had the same behavior but he hadn't even noticed it until I showed him! I guess it's common and it should be fine if handled with care.
