my plug was loose from day one...and now it's gone...where can I get a replacement?
I plugged in a cheap pair, and it took a pretty good amount of force to get them in, and on removal, the center pin of the male connector actually detached from the headphone connector and stayed stuck in the phone...They were cheap headphones but still...
I wonder is that the reason why google is not providing earphones in the box lol
Hi!
My Nexus 4 is stuck in headphones mode for a few months now. Sound on headphones is just fine. I tried cleaning 3.5mm jack, but no difference. I'm using SoundAbout app now to make phone usable, but it's anoying to manualy switch every time I plug in or out my headphones. I ordered new headphones jack from ebay for 8.95 pounds from UK (new user, can't post link)
I replaced it, but N4 is still stuck in headphones mode Before I replaced it I've done factory reset, but not yet after replacing.
Looking at the plug it seems like phone detects when headphones plug shorts two pins in connector that connects to the tip of headphones plug (pins are not shorted if connector isn't plugged in). It doesnt have a "switch" like some other connectors.
Phone was not even near water and I never dropped it on the ground.
What do you think it's wrong? Maybe damaged motherboard?
Hey everyone, I'm an LG V20 owner who loves my device, but I keep noticing that my AUX cables keep getting damaged when listening to music in my car. I thought I'd ask if anyone else was having similar issues. When I say "damaged" I mean that I either have to play with the AUX cable to get it to work or sometimes I only hear sounds from the left or right speakers. I have the Hi Fi Quad DAC enabled and I usually have the phone volume all the way to 75 (max) when I'm in the car. I've gone through at least 3 AUX cables and I'm assuming its either because of the Hi FI Quad DAC or because I have the volume too loud. Are there any good high quality AUX cables that anyone can recommend (preferably from Amazon lol)?
Not possible.
Damage to the cable would have to be physical, either you're using them in a way that stressed them and caused shorts, or you're just buying really cheap cables. You're sure it's the cables and not a problem with the headphone jack or the aux input in your car? Are the cables fully inserted? They're not coming loose?
I've used UGREEN cable in the past and they seem fairly robust
@thisisjason thanks for the response, the cables are fully inserted and not loose. I don't have any issues when I listen to music in my headphones so I'm blaming the AUX cables lol. I'll give UGREEN a try!
I've been using the same aux cable with my V20 since day one. This same aux cable has also been in use with my Nexus 6 it's entire lifetime. I doubt it is the DAC. 99.9% of the time, it's usually due to repeated bending in the same spot of the cord breaking wires. In fact, when used in a car we tend to always place our devices in the same spot which means any cords attached will bend... at the same spot, each and every time. This will lead to the wires inside breaking. Since they're in a sheath, they still stand a small chance of continuing to make contact. Which can make a signal come and go depending on how close the ends are.
If your headphones work fine then you should get a new aux cable, otherwise, it's the headphones jack
Strange, I recently posted about how an aux cable failed on me, I only got full volume / stereo from it when the phone was grounded through USB. Not plugged in, just ground to ground.
It's probably all just a coincidence coincidence since these cables often spend their lives in hot cars, It it's so.ething.
I thought i was the only one experiencing this but i figured its just cheap cables no more than $10. how can i raise volume to 100

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
can't, when dac is enable, the volume should be louder so the max vol will be 75
Im looking for some Schematics for the Audio circuit of the Nexus 6P.
I bought a used Nexus 6P with some Problems. The only one im not able to fix is that the phone thinks that headphones are plugged in. First I thought that the headphone jack had some dirt in it... but even after i removed the headphone jack the problem still occurred.
Next I took a look at the Connector itself. When I plug in some headphones, Pin 1 and 5 get connected. Pin 5 is Ground. So on Pin 1 should be some kind of voltage present right?
But there where non on Pin 1.
Next I looked up where the Audio IC is located. The ifixit Teardown shows where the Qualcomm WCD9330 Audio Codec is located.
After I removed the Cover i found some corrosion near the IC. I gave the hole Board a ultrasonic bath and reflowed the IC and the Components around it but the Phone still thinks that headphones are plugged in.
I don´t want the headphone jack to work again. I just need the Phone to think that there are no headphones plugged in. I tried several Software Solutions but non worked to my satisfactory.
Does anyone have an idea or some Schematics for me?
