My headphone jack has also worked perfectly from day one.
If the audio isn't going through the headphone jack when you plug in the headphones (as in still coming out of the speaker) then you have a faulty epic.
Sprint will replace it if you are under the 1month warranty.

Have not had time to take it in but yea thi one has some major problems the proxcimity sensors are ****ed too I have to tap on them repetedly to make my screen turn back on while in a call sucks cause I rooted this thing and got rid of all the fat no I have to do it again

no proximity sensor issues or headphone jack issues here.
When I got my evo on launch day I couldn't get the head phones to work. I found out for done reason there was a pace of plastic blocking the hack grok going all the easy down. I forced the jack and it worked. So weigh I gory my epic I just forced to jack all the way in cause of the evo. I haven't had any head phone issues

Got my new phone today seems to be working better I had a bad one for sure couple things on the new one work that where not working on the old one. The proximity sensor works normal and so does the head phone jack, also I notice that the soft keys stay on when I'm doing stuff not like the old where they would flash all the time on and off. So I just need to root it and ill be happy again. While I was at bestbuy I had them put a zaggs screen protector on the new one for me which btw was free since the one dude there kept ignoring me and taking care of other customers that where behind me when I got there. Anyone have a rom that they would reccomend? I never got one on the old epic cause **** was all messed up.

So i got the new one rooted with clockworksmod but when trying to install a custom rom it fails like my last one...? I am using the rom manager from the market and it shows that I have clockworks mod installed but it fails saying it can not find the whole update signature, my old one was doing that crap too. What is wrong here am i doing something wrong? It also does this every time i boot to the recovery console.

The ROM Manager install method doesn't work very well. Download the One Click Clockwork flasher, and run the run-try-first.bat. This should install Clockwork directly to where it needs to be, and let you boot straight to it with Vol Down + Camera + Power when the phone's off.

Sprint warrants the phone for one year, not one month. any problem in the first month gets you a new in box at any Sprint store because they don't want you to cancel, but that is not their warranty, which is one year from firs activation. Warranty without insurance service is given free for purchases before Oct 25, and is $35 for purchases after Oct 25.
Also some makes/models of phones have less robust physical parts. They would have run the 3.5 mm jack through at least 1000 cycles and established some failure rate. But who knows. certain Palm models had widespread failures of 3.5 jacks. It is too early to tell if the jacks on the galaxies hava problem. One would need to see who they are doing among people who use headphones 5 times a day after six months to a year.
Its stupid though my hero has two blow speakers and a dead trackball they say to warrenty it I need to go through htc now? Its stupid they already have ****ty customer service why are they making it worse? Sorry didnthave time to update the thread name this is my first non htc adroid phone and I know with all the data lock problems the moment has that samsung has some major hardware issues

Hey everyone.
I've had my phone for about two weeks, its been in a rubber case since undoing. I removed the case today to clean the screen and found these 3 cracks in the side of the case. What should I do? I've been very careful with the phone, its never been dropped.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

**Update**
Alright, after much back order and delay, I got my replacement Evo over the weekend, free of charge (it was past my 30 day return). Its a hw Rev 3 Nova just like my last one too. Im glad Sprint did the right thing, maybe knowing this will help others with the same problem.
On a side note, the nice lady that was helping me was taking a long time to port my number over to the new phone. I asked her if everything was alright, and she smiled and replied "Yes, the phone activated just fine. Now Im downloading the new android update for you." ahhhhhh! I kindly asked her to stop ASAP and told her I would apply it later. That would have been aweful, stuck with an unrooted froyo.
Anyways, just thought Id share. Good luck to the rest of you having this problem!

If it has never been dropped or abused, I'd suggest returning it. There's no reason the plastic should be cracking on its own. If anything, something went wrong with the way yours was manufactured.
The cracks are at equal parts down the side of the phone, and then theres an extra one. I have been super careful with this phone, its not been dropped, nor does it have a single scratch of any type on it anywhere. It's in mint condition.
Has anyone else had said problems?

i know there are like 20 other bricked vibrant threads but mine is a unick question.
alright so i called t mobile like 3 day ago. and i told them i had a phone witch would not boot into recovery threw the key so they send me a new one. so the one i had at home i tried to unroot but some how i ended up bricking the phone. the problem with the phone is i cant boot into recovery since my phone is hardware lock. and when i tried to plug the phone to the charger it would start charging and the freeze on me. and also when i turn the phone on it would show me the vibrant screen and then it would go black and the key lights up, help and dont show me the booting s screen after the vibrant screen it goes black. and would i have any problem if i send this phone to tmobile bricked even thought i called for a hardware defective phone.

can i just send the old one back. it was ok before i tried to unroot. i have a new one but as you read i got it because i told them i had a hardware defective phone.
If they have already authorized the swap, you are good.
Tmo is very root friendly. Two of their top app picks this month are setcpu and ROM manager.
I've swapped out 2 phones that were rooted with them without a hassle. The last time I swapped my myTouch, I didn't even bother taking Froyo off it. Not a peep from them.

no problem. I was scared to death when I took my Vibrant in the first time. I re-paritioned the internal SD instead of my external. This was before I was ok with Odin and within HOURS of buying the phone. The guy took a look at my phone and asked me what I did to it. I told him and he promptly grabbed me a new phone. He swapped it out in their computer and said "See you tomorrow!"
I <3 Tmo.

I've been using this phone for about four months brand new back in July. I was using my phone just perfectly yesterday with my power fully fuctional. Then it seemed like the button got stuck without a click and limited use, when i pushed down really hard. Now it seems like it feels like it did normally but now it does't work. My phone died and i tried to power it back on and nothing happened. Please help!! ):
The phone is borked. Call t mobile. They should send you another one.
The power button isnt something you can work around. And you might be able to fix it if you cracked the phone open....but why void the warrenty when they will give you a replacement now?
Faulty Power button is apparently on their list of known issues with the mt4g. I had to replace mine as well over the summer.

You don't need to press it very hard..I have never had any problems with it.
My power button has been hard to push for a couple months and I finally decided to call in cuz my year is almost up. After being hassled and having to call three times, I'm somehow getting a replacement (this will be my 4th MT4G in a year) and also a new phone for shipping costs, $5.99.
I picked the Amaze, but I'm not certain on it and can trade it if I want. If you had to pick a new tmo phone right now, what would you get?
And also, call tmo and keep telling them you're not happy. Worked for me...

Just a few questions are you rooted, if you so what are you running. I had an issue where my home key stopped working,I just restored an old back up, an it worked after that. Try fixing permissions.
If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

The Amaze or Sensation are the direction I'd go. I'd probably steer toward the Sensation just because it's a little older and the rooting hacks have been found (not sure if they have for the Amaze yet) and because there's a CM7 available for it that's not perfect, but it's supposed to be good enough for a daily user.
I don't know how you pulled that off. I've had my MyTouch for 3 months and am already on my 4th one and they refuse to offer me anything but the 4GSlide, which I REALLY don't want with the thicker chassis and smaller screen. Plus I hate slidey keyboards.

They're getting there with the Amaze, no s-off but there's.ROMs and kernels...hopefully the dev scene grows.
I'm amazed it happened, too. I've been with tmo for like 12 years, but they also put the whole contract (5 lines) in a new 2 year, without telling me, ha. I think I told them about ten times I wasn't happy and that they needed to make me happy, so they finally did.

It might be a grounding issue for the screen, which is fixable. Are they making you send your mytouch 4G back?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Yes, I'm sending it back. This is my 4th or 5th phone in a year... I tried that grounding thing with the pin/foil, nothing seemed to work. I took the sensation figuring if I hate it, I could sell it for more or trade + cash for something I'm into... Naturally the steps I'm taking are: open box, root phone, enjoy.

Hello all. I have the swag 0n 4.54.651.1 and I have been having problems with the sound when talking to people ( it sounds like a blown speaker as it crackles when when conversing) . I took it to Sprint to have the speaker checked and they said that the speaker is not blown and that the problem is because of the customization (that's what he called it, better known as rooted) I have done to the HTC Evo.
My question is, is he right or is he bullshitting me. Before I go back to stock to confirm this I would like someones opinion. Thanks
Most of the time they say that **** its cause its rooted. They did it to me before. Try flashing a different rom if it's still there its probably a hardware issue. Not due to rooting it they just like to say that apparently. Bastards.

Ruu back to stock, if it still happens, take it to sprint in non-rooted condition... why would you bring a rooted phone into sprint for repair anyhow? If you are lucky they will fix it if brought back to the store in stock form. If you are unlucky, they flagged your account as having a rooted phone and won't fix it...
P.S. wrong phone forum and wrong section to post. This should be in the evo 4g, questions section...

I read of one other person who also experienced this problem in the past month. It seems like there is a reliable expiration date on these things!
Also, I ordered the replacement speaker from repairs universe and it does not fix the problem, so I'm going back 2 stock and trying to see what the sprint store ppl have to say.
sorry about your speaker, i feel your pain!

You can donate the vibe to a developer, it wouldn't cost so much to replace the port.

Don't worry, new phones like the Note and S3 have aGPS and Glonass, so they are very quick at picking up GPS signal. Infact I haven't had much GPS problems for SII and onward models.
As for 911 issues you might want to confirm at the SIII section.

Well looks like my Vibrant is also no longer charging or connect to the PC due to broken USB port also. I opened it but it seems the contact points are too extremely small and close together to manually solder it back properly with my ability. A regular microUSB connector only have a few solder points, this one have so many and they are like 1/10th mm large. It seems this design is bound to fail overtime due to the placement on the board.
So I bought a broken Vibrant on ebay for $35 with a front facing camera. With luck its motherboard and USB port are still working. Otherwize I'll have to do external charging and transfer files wirelessly. It seems everything is easy to replace on this phone except the USB port which is also the most fragile design.
Well sorry for hijacking the thread more, but the broken phone I bought arrived, apparently the reseller didn't realize it was the S 4G, not the Vibrant. Things I've found:
1. Switching the S 4G camera onto the Vibrant is possible, but one have to use something metal and pointy to carve a transparent hole through the Vibrant black paint on the inside so the front camera can see through outside. Now I just have to find a rom that is compatible with ffc.
2. Switching the S 4G mobo onto the Vibrant turned the Vibrant into a S 4G.
3. The connector for the headphone jack of the S 4G is incompatible with the Vibrant. The headphone jack is tried to the earspeaker with the same cable, it is possible to remove them if careful.
4. The 'slim slot + sd card' module of the S 4G and Vibrant are compatible with each other. The sim slot has adhesive to stick ontop of the shielding, removing it needs some care. The S 4G and Vibrant sim slot are not compatible with the Captivate (i897) sim slot, they use different connectors. (Also the sim slot module for the S 4G and Vibrant also has the connector for the speaker, while Captivate's sim slot do not have connector for the speaker.)
If you're getting rid of the Vibrant I'd be happy to send a SASE for it. Obviously only if you were going to throw it out. I'm just getting started trying to develop and I have another vibrant that I could charge and swap batteries. Anyway, PM me either way. Thanks
