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.

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.

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

It changed last month. It is really nice now, but people still question insurance. However this doesn't help w/ lost or stolen or water damaged devices. Also physical damage can be fixed in house now if we have the parts.

When I took my phone in I removed root completely. But I made a backup just before I unrooted. So all I did was did unrevoked root real quick. Flashed amon-ra with Rom manager and nand recovered previous settings. Simple as pie.

Why does everybody worry about taking their phones in for repair if they are rooted? As long as what you want to get fixed isn't software related they don't care. I am rooted and running Fresh with Riptide's theme and took my phone in last month for a screen replacement and yesterday to replace a broken plastic cover over the camera lens. Nothing was said the first time for the screen, and yesterday I was asked how I was getting the great battery life I was getting so I told them it was due to the custom ROM and kernel. They were impressed. And, yes both repairs were free because I have Total Equipment Protection.

Most of them won't care or won't even know. But all it takes of that one guy to care and then void your warranty. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to take that chance because of laziness.

I would raise holy hell if they tried to void my warranty on a non-software related issue I brought my phone in for. Feel free to root and unroot all you want. I'll stick with "laziness".
I had my screen crack fixed by Sprint. I simply flashed Joey Krim's stock looking rooted 2.2 and they didn't ask a question.

Just make a nandroid of your phone. I put my OEM SD card back in the phone and kept my good SD card with me. They fixed my screen, no questions asked. However, when they accidentally broke my volume down button on the side (need that one!) they just gave me a new phone. Nothing but good things about Sprints service.
I know that there is a fix that one can do here shown in the forums. However, I do not want to dissect the phone. My phone is not rooted but I am not sure if I feel confident to send it to HTC because I'm not sure what is considered a "loose fix" to them so they might just send it back to me without any fix and I would have to pay for the charge.
I call HTC about it and they said they would check the problem out because I am still under warranty. Has anyone else sent their phones to HTC to fix the loose hinge issue?
it shouldnt really matter if the phone is rooted..... would it? I can't imagine that HTC would void the devices build warranty for software.

What's the point in getting it replaced with another G2 that has the same hinge problem? They're all like that.
Newer models weren't fixed? Thats too bad. Anyways, I got it cheap on ebay. Of course, I can not send it back for a replacement. I hinge isn't as loose as I have seen others on youtube. Its just lying down on the bed is an issue for me. I called HTC and said its still under warranty and can possibly fix this if it is an "issue" to them.

hmmm. what I am confused about now is what the warranty covers? I can understand the warranty being voided if rooted. However, for accidental physical damages/ liquid(water) damage, what can you do with the warranty? I thought this would apply to phone defects. Tmobile even said that the early models of the G2 were defective. Its just weird that HTC won't fix it for you even if the issue is known from a larger perspective.
Send it to someone on this forum willing to do the spring replacement for you.

I had the same problem. I turned off the noise cancellation feature and that fixed it. The noise cancellation feature sounds like it has a gate with a threshold that's too high so it cuts off the beginning and end of words.

Yea I got the inspire sorry for not being specific. Well I talked to the guy at best buy and he looked at me like I just wanted a new phone. But I'm pretty sure I know how to hold a phone and even when my phone was two inches away from my mouth when I was on speaker and people are still complaining I don't think that it's the position I'm holding it. It's not user error and now all of the sudden after I got the inspire people have been commenting on how they can hear me for the first time since I got my atrix. They didn't know I got a new phone. I'm not trying to say the atrix was a bad device it just didn't suit my needs as well as I liked. And I didn't know how I was going to be able to prove that my atrix had bad call quality to the best buy guy since it's a qualitative example.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
you probably coulda called him and walked across the store to show that your mic was bad, nobody has any problems understanding me whatsoever.
I've had complaints on my phone as well... they say it sounds muffled basically. I'll see if things get better with noise cancellation off. That's one of the few complaints I've had about the phone actually. I never really had much concern over call quality, but it's been mentioned enough times that I think it's a reasonable issue.

If you didn't think you could convince the BB guy with a phone call and then you state that the Atrix didn't suit your needs, it tells me that you really did just want a new phone. If you didn't like the device just be honest about it. If you liked the device you would have exchanged it for a different Atrix as defective.
My phone sounded muffled on the first day of owning it. Now I have no complaints, not sure if it was a setting or what.
I had the same issues with speakerphone, but after I turned off noise cancellation everything was better.

Actually a lot of people have issues with the voice quality. I've gone through 3 atrixes and still have the same issue, even the employees at the ATT store notice it. Motorola said they were working on it and some people have had some luck exchanging the phone, others have not been so lucky. The issue is only with the mic in the phone, if you use bluetooth then voice quality is crystal clear.
Bell atrix here..

So my phone has this problem of only intermittently vibrating when I get a text/call. So I got an RMA and sent it in. First off, the lost it, and took several days and several phone calls to find somebody who was able to locate my phone. They then told me that it was not under warranty because it was physical damage. They said the main board was bent. Somehow I was apparently able to bend the phone enough to bend the main board but not crack the screen or back or anything else. So they said they could sell me a phone for $179 (no way). Sounds like crap to me........ I'll be buying Samsung next time.

Except Samsung has always been on top of updates. The only time Samsung hasn't had a timely update was due to networks, namely AT&T, not approving of the update for a long time.
I agree! Samsung makes good phones, but the touchwiz icons make me feel like I should use velcro shoes, safety scissors, finger paints, ect.
