[Q] The location of headphone jack sucks - G2 and Desire Z General

The connector sticks out and it makes it difficult to hold the keyboard while typing. Anyone else feel that way?
They should have put the jack where the power button currently is (or even slightly higher) and put the power button on the side of the phone where the camera button is.

yes it does, obviously an oversight in design

actually according to the designs of other products, alot of people complained when the headphone jacks were placed elsewhere on the phone, such as the side making it awkward for the pocket.
Majority of people wanted the headphone jack on the top or bottom of the phone....im happy with it

Well that's why I wrote where the jack should have been Jacks on the side are a bad idea because putting them in pockets doesn't just feel awkward, it exerts (more) pressure on the connector.
However the reason the power button is on the top has nothing to do with users' requests and everything to do with designers captivated by the iPhone.

Well with its placement now its very awkward to have headphones in and use the hard keyboard at the same time.

something loose

Hello.
Does any of yours hd2s make weird sound when you tap on them? Like there's something loose in the upper end of the device.. I guess it has something to do with back speaker.. It makes the sound even when I put it on the table.. It's nothing serious, but it makes me wonder what is wrong with it It's like piece of plastic hit another piece of plastic.. :s
Only bottom hardware keys are a bit loose, and that applies for all units. But other than that, all should be nice and firm, no sounds.
..
Nope, only the sound of my ninja quick fingers tapp'in that screen. Sounds like you do actually havee something loose in your device. : /
it's not like when i just use the touchscreen, but when i tap it with my fingers around the area where camera is.. on the backside.

I get it too, but it's so slight that I imagine it's just the shutter. It's not rattling round or anything - just loose enough to be able to move when needed.
exactly. thanks =)
Nope, i just almost had my whole face down to listen carefully, but mine makes no loose sound in any way.. strange.. in a good way tho..

Your shutter must be fused. I'd send it back to HTC for repair lol
The volume key on the side moves slightly and so do the buttons on the front, it's probably these which rattle from time to time.

The volume keys on mine are rock solid, and I can only move my hardware buttons by actually touching them and moving them - they don't move enough to rattle.
I agree with the OP - there's a really tiny (insignificant) rattle from around the camera area. Like I said earlier, I don't think it's anything wrong or worth worrying about.

There is a varying build quality to these handsets. You sound to be one of the lucky ones but I've had two now and one had a loose volume button, as does my mate's. The depth of the recess with the screen fit and the front keypad wobble and how tactile the keypress is also vary in quality.

Design fault with the Legend alu housing/casing!

In my humble opinion, there is a major design "fault" with the aluminum casing used and it's pretty severe one at that. For me, this makes me think about taking the phone back and getting a refund (yes I can, even after I've used ut).This is the sort of thing Apple would never allow. Now I'm NO Apple fanboy, rather a HTC/Android Phanboy, so hold those horses......
But, ever notice the sharp edge surrounding the top of the HTC? It's quite annoying and prob would get slightly painful in longer conversations.
Now, all they would have to do, was to try the phone and they would notice. It would only take slightly more beveling of the edge. Try holding the phone the wrong way, spreaker to your ear. THAT'S the way an edge should feel against your ear. It's like there's nothing there!
the edge is noticeable and yes it is a annoying but its easy to cope with just dont press it hard against your ear and your fine. What i hate more is the low calling volume in noisy environments its impossible to phone anyone and then the edge does hurt when you try to press the speaker against your ear

Thing is, it shouldn't be like this. It would have been easy to notice this pre-production and it would have been easy to fix. Small things like this ruin a GREAT phone......that and those damn lost wifi signals!
No one mentioned it for a month, so it can't be that bad. Maybe your ear is not compatible with the phone
Perhaps it depends on how you hold your phone to your ear.
The edge doesn't bother me at all.
I totally agree.. its defenetly a sharp edge against the ear.. the phone must be angled differend than my ond magic to be comfortable to "use as a phone" :/
after reading this post i check my legend but this "problem" is non existing. Even when i rubb my finger on the edge there is little to no "sharpness". For me its move along people nothing to see.

Hmmm, I just had a 1hr long phone call and the Legend is noticable uncomfortable to use. The "edge" I'm talking about rests on my ear and it's not painfull, it's just "there" and very annoying. You will naturally move your phone around when you talk and this edge I'm talking about and this makes it even worse.
I pulled out my old Hero and this has a rounded edge (as does the iPhone and EVERY other phone out there) and you can't even notice it when you hold it up to your ear. I'm a nitpicker and I always find small flaws in things I like very much. But I'm considering this is supposed to be a GREAT phone, it should have benn rounded off.
Edge: The edge I'm talking about is the result of a 90 degree angle on the metal where the aluminum has been cnc'd. Once again, hold your phone the other way round and it is MUCH more comfortable to hold against your head, but MUCH worse to use as a phone...

I don't find this an issue at all
the iphone button used to really hurt my chin though
its more healthy for there to be an air gap between the phone and your face in any event
I would also strongly suggest the 1 hour calls you use a bluetooth headset. Its bound to be unhealthy otherwise
My tip to avoid this : stick the screen to your ear instead of the edge.
You can hear as well, but the contact is much smoother with the flat surface.
faulty design

Sacrifices and shortcomings of the Samsung Vibrant's body

Yes the phone is real fast, has all this cool stuff like 4" Super AMOLED, GPS, Wifi, HSPA, 1GHz processor, etc., but beyond what they list on the spec sheets, there are many compromises, bad design choices, and cost-cutting for the physical portion of the phone and its usability as a "phone" phone. I am still sticking with the vibrant as it performs well for a smartphone, but it does bother me that I am sort of downgrading in other respects.
For one, Samsung made a bad design decision by using a cheap, thin, shiny plastic back cover that no one likes. It is basically the entire phone aside from the glass front, and becomes a slimy mess very quickly. It's also not very secure and creaks at the edges where it snaps on the side, or at least mine does. The way it tapers back like an iPhone 3G and has a thickness of less than 10mm makes it hard to hold and unpleasant to use when talking on the phone or using it as a camera. The cheap plastic buttons are also difficult to press because of the thinness, are jittery and not very firm, and the power button should be bigger or on the top because I use my phone with either hand and the power button is made for left hand usage only.
If the Vibrant had not wanted to be a me too of the iPhone 4 as far as thinness, it would be much better to hold like the Samsung Wave, which has actual sides (not chrome edges) that are rounded and comfortable to hold, along with a real shutter button. A thicker phone would have also allowed for a bigger battery and better sensor/lens for the camera if they cared to place one, and who knows why they took out the flash beyond just being cheap. It would also help with the toy feel of the phone by adding some weight to that 118g.
When the screen is off, the phone is definitely not a looker, accented with a cheap chrome trim that has been used on old phones for ages. And I've already said enough about the back. I guess you could say the front can look cool if wiped clean and used as a mirror.
For telephony, I can't say much about call reception, but the actual earpiece and speaker isn't very good. The earpiece is muddy and not very loud compared to all my previous phones. The speaker is terrible for placing people on speakerphone, because their voices sound like a garbled mess that goes in and out. Same with using it when someone calls me. The ringtone can't get very loud and has that same garbled mess for sound. I've heard way way better like the stereo speakers on Nokia phones and it seems on par with some of the cheap diminutive fashion candy bars that Sony Ericsson has. I wonder if its the thinness that is making both the earpiece and the speaker sound so bad, or if Samsung has gone cheap again.
I'm not sure what to tell you other than you need to run to the store and swap yours out.
Mine sounds way better than any other phone that I've ever owned.

I think there's something wrong with your phone, bro. I can hear my ringtone very loud and amazingly clear over my car stereo (Pioneer HU, Infinity Reference 6.5", 10" subwoofer w/600w).
I couldn’t care less what the phone looks like. It could have a 'scratch and sniff' picture of a rotting cow covered with maggots on the back. That’s what they make gel covers for! I just want it to have an awesome screen, CPU and GPU. It has all that. Qwerty would have been nice for emulators.
UPDATE
Yeah, your speaker is 'jack'd', I have to turn mine down because it's way to loud!
Well the back cover of all phones aint worth a damn. But i dont care because mine ALWAYS have a case of them. I have a skinomi screen protector on it so i dont have any fingerprints. I am right handed and press the power button with my thumb or if its in my left hand i use my index finger. Maybe you need practice. I can care less about how the phone looks when its off.
I agree you should return your phone.......

I haven't really known anyone to complain about a phone being too light.
im with this guy on the phone, coming from the evo, this samsung kind of sucks, im trying to stick it out but i'll probably go back too sprint. tmo's reception is not stellar and samsung software is less then stellar =\.

might be the phone but, its far to jumpy, i travel between LA and Portland weekly and only get 3g for about 15 minutes in 3 citys in those 1000 miles. hopefully 2.2 fixes some of the issues.
I guess to each his own, but I love this phone. I've had it next to an EVO and even though the Evo's screen was bigger the Galaxy S screen was definitely more vivid.
I hope you're still within the return period...
Guess there should've been a "IMO" in the title, this phone is fine to me in all those aspects you mentioned.
Thanks for venting, I guess ...

I wouldnt blame it on Samsung. Since there are many variations to the Galaxy S lineup.
I would blame T-Mobile for ordering a glossy backed phone from Samsung. What Samsung does is they take the order and customize a phone for their customer (T-Mobile) to meet their needs.
Captivate has a different back, Fascinate has a different back, Epic 4G has a different back.
So your argument that it is Samsung's fault for making a bad design decision is fruitless. I like fruit by the way.

Funny stuff
Humorous, I find the case of the phone to be a mute point as in my case the phone is sitting snug in a rubber body glove with only the screen exposed. To each his own.

Funny post. Complaint about everything but the GPS. This phone has the biggest capacity battery I have seen for a phone, yet that's too small. The nicest back cover yet. I must be deaf, because I can hear my phone quite well in a 100db engine room. Cheap plastic buttons? There is buttons on this phone? What is he doing, typing the Morse Code on the power button? Or is there some great phone I'm missing?
YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG!
I know it sounds a little odd, but I kinda wish the phone was a little heavier. When I was holding the Evo yesterday it felt beefy and really solid.
However with that being said, I really like the fact that when I wear cargo shorts and my phone is in my pocket its not cracking me in the knee like my G1 brick used to do.
I guess you have to take the good with the bad and the bad being its rather light I suppose I can live with unless of course I decide later to duct tap some lead to the battery cover.

How is your headphone jack?

I want to make sure my unit is not defective. When I plug headphones into the jack, they do not seem snug. They are kind of easy to pull out. They sound fine, but there is a lot of static sometimes. Has anyone noticed that the headphone jack on the S5 seems more loose than previous models? Thanks
got my s5 yesterday and my headphone jack is very sturdy I cant wiggle it even a little with stock headphones plugged in , have to use quite a buit of force to unplug it to , rogers here G900W
I know this is obvious but have you tried a different set of headphones? Mine sit in loosely until the last 2-3mm and then need very positive pressure to push in the last 2mm. Once in they are very tight and do not move at all, they do not come out loosely either. If yours do it on more than one set of headphone I would say it's faulty

Sounds like you aren't plugging your headphones in all the way. There's a definite click when they're in all the way, the static you hear is because the headphones plug is moving around.
Hope this helps.
Like the other guy said make sure you plug it in all the way. The click at the end is the clue.

Loose fitting-replacement alternative?
Hey guys, I'm hoping someone here can help me with this problem. A few months back I tried to clean the headphone Jack on my s5 with a q-tip and one part of the inside gold piece bent outward, so I had to pry it back in with a paper clip so I'd be able to fit headphones in without the arm (or whatever piece it is) obstructing. Now, unless coincidental, my shure se215 headphones are fitting so loose that I can shake the phone hard enough to make the headphones fall out. And yes, I'm firmly pressing on to make sure it's all the way in and I've tried with a few different headphones. I really don't want to replace the headphone Jack and was hoping there was some way to maybe change the case and try to permanently fix a headphone extension onto the case to eliminate this problem. Any ideas or suggestions?!
from your description, it's a fair bet that one of the connectors is bent out of shape. The earphone socket is a sealed unit and therefore unrepairable. The only option is to replace the entire assembly.
As for your idea to permanently fix the earphones to the device.....not really practical unless it's your intention to turn a working phone into a media player....
Too much functionality is lost by having the earphones plugged in all the time.....
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
I had this problem since I got my S5 over a year ago, I've even sent it off for repair and they found nothing wrong (a load of rubbish) I compare to my friends S5 which is a later batch and his is snug and no static. I believe the issue is the contacts inside are not tight so they are only lightly touching the headphone jack. I managed to completely fix the static issue however by getting a cotton bud and thinning the cotton tip down a little so it fits inside the slot, then dip or spray the tip with Isopropyl alcohol, jam it in the hole as far as it goes and twist it around hard ( you might need to bend the cotton bud in order to twist it as it will be tight. I do this once every few months and it completely prevents the static issue from happening.
I can't stress highly enough that this is not a suitable repair method.
Speaking as someone who is more than familiar with electronics and components and circuitry, it is my informed opinion that this method has the potential to further damage the socket......The fact that so far in your case, this damage hasn't occurred is simply down to luck.
In that socket, there are 4 precision sprung contacts that do not react well to violent cleaning methods. 'Jamming' a cotton wool bud in the socket as far as it will go and twisting it around will (at some point) bend these contacts totally out of shape which will make the socket totally useless.....
Please don't do it, you WILL end up having to replace the socket.....

Not enough praise for Le Max 2 CDLA ear phone

I just feel not enough praise for CDLA earphone from LeTV.
The pro:-
a) very fast
b) high fidelity
c) every music is alive
d) it is lighted
Con:-
Non actually.
The sound is salivating for person like me who own Sennheiser HD580, Phillips Fidelio X1, Audio Technica ATH50.

I own them, too, and feel they stand up quite well to some studio grade headphones I also own, Sony MDR 7506's...

Yeah, really really good. I am shocked actually.
I loved the sound quality, just a shame that they were so flimsy and weak, and that they were even worse for falling out of my ears than iPhone ones.

That's the only issue I have with them too.

Unless you move around too much, I don't think they fall out too much. It's surprisingly comfortable.
Maybe you use it for sport and you kinda harsh towards it.

LOL me, sports... nah. I didn't treat them badly at all. Didn't even use them that much. Think the falling out thing just depends on the size and shape of your ear holes. They didn't suit my ears I guess, and they are just hard, smooth plastic with no rubber part for an added friction seal so unless they are a good fit they fall out. The cables are just plain thin, and weak at both ends (near the buds and near the usb jack).
Think LeEco's quality is (was, RIP zombieco LeEco) hit and miss for sure. My first headphone adapter suffered cable failure too, but the second one I got has been fine. My USB charging brick died, but the USB C Cable that came with it is still perfect.

You're right. I guess there's no QC.
My cable is dead also.
For the headphone, if there rubber, probably it will hurt. I guess my ear hole is smaller. Lol
