Unslot the power adapter? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if it's possible to un-slot the ac adapter so it will fit back into the box?
Thanks

Pull it harder than you'd expect and it will separate, I had to do this to send mine back

That's what I thought initially, but I don't think so. The solder points for the flex cable antennas are smaller than the contacts the OP is pointing out.
I busted this part but the phone still works so I'm trying to figure it out

Does your speaker still work?
It definitely is antenna. Not sure which one...
From IFixit:
Standing out on the board:
Several rows of pressure contacts connecting the antennas to the logic board.
The vibrator motor for...well...vibrating.
8 Megapixel camera sensor.
Battery connector.
The other side of the board is about as featureless as it can be.
Speaker works fine just missing one of those contacts but don't know what its for

Thanks alot I would appreciate any feedback

Yea, you were right after all. Good to know, as I'm looking for the antennas to fix and sell my previous phone.
aimbdd: I hadn't come across that tear-down yet. That's a good one and will come in handy. Thanked.
Still no issues found

Do you use wifi Bluetooth and 4g? You probably don't notice because it is only one of the points at which that antenna connect to the phone.
Yep all working well

you really won't have any issues man, it's just one of like 4 places the antenna connects to the motherboard. i've seen several like that and until now, none have reported issues.
Thanks a lot man

My headphone jack broke...

I always use my headphone jack but im very careful not to shove it in. All of a sudden the other day I tried to plug in my headphones and it wouldn't go all the way in! What happened? Can I still RMA my nexus or do i have to pay?

I have found my jack to be a pretty tight fit. Are you sure you are using enough pressure to insert the plug all the way? It is fairly substantial as 3.5mm jacks go.

I tried shoving it almost as hard as I possibly can to no avail so I think it may be broken D:

I was terrified mine would break. It's insane how much effort it takes to get that bad boy in there.

Well, an RMA is worth a try. The worst they can say is no. Call them.

Do you have a number? I can't seem to find it and their RMA support email doesn't list the Nexus 4 as an option. Thanks

Ethernet connection not working on Nexus 7

It was working a few months ago but now it doesn't work. Help!
Well we don't have native ethernet on our device... So there is that. Not, if you are talking about 3g,a lot can happen in a couple months... Like your provider could have shut you off for not paying. If you are talking about wifi, you need to be more specific...

Well no I'm not talking about 3G. I'm talking about the cable which plugs into my router. (Using an otg cable+USB to Ethernet adapter) As I said the weird part is that it was working fine.

Did you change ROMs? Kernel? Is it possible that your cable went south? Is the adapter borked?

I want to add amps to the USB from another source on the board
Couldn't you track the positive track back to the voltage regulator and fit a bigger amp smd regulator?

Use a powered USB hub, and save your warranty.
Best way to fix your issue in my opinion.

Corrupt SD Card

I bought a 64gb SD Card on eBay and it keeps corrupting. How can I permanently fix this? Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SPH-L720T using xda app-developers app
Did you buy those knock off non branded ones that cost like $20? And what did you buy from eBay? They are known for selling fake cards.
And if it is one of those cheap unbranded ones, its a known issue with them. Its a hit or miss with those.

Yeah It was those cheap ones :/ so there's no permanent fix for this issue then?

Yes. Think about it though. Even if you get it working, how long will this last and do you want to trust it with your data?

I was thinking that. If you're going to be using it I recommend that you sync your Google plus account to backup all of your pictures so they are in the cloud.
