Qtek 2020 headphone connector broken :(

Hello all,
My Qtek 2020 (Himalaya PH10B) fell on the floor with the headphones on, and the mini-jack for connector for the headphones broke inside it.
I successfully opened it, and I was able to see the damages. I can see only 6 pins that connected the mini-jack plug to the main board, and it seems that there could be a seventh that got broken...
Would anyone of you know of a closeup picture of this headset plug/connector ? Do you know if it is possible to find a new one ? If not, mine looks reparable still, but I would feel reassured if I knew the exact connection here
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers
Thomas

Thank you for your answer Rudegar,
I re-soldered the connector, and I realized that a pin was indeed missing. I actually found it freely moving inside the PDA, but I could not solder it back to the connector. The results ? Well, it still does not work, unfortunately... With the headset on, it is mainly okay (there is still a little contact problem) but *withou* the headset, it still has no sound...
So :
1) Can I find this connector somewhere ?
2) Is there a way to tell the PDA not to check for the headset, and use the main speaker all the time ?
3) Would it change anything if I bought a blutooth headset ?
Thank you in advance !
Cheers

1.) i doubt it would be a cheap option if htc had a special connector made just for their phones so i'd asume they use some sort of std component
and maybe there even is a partNr og serial on the connector
which could be used to find a replacement in R&S catalog
http://www.rs-components.com/index.html
2.) no pretty sure the switch between headset and internal speaker is don in hardware and software cant control it
3.) no with bluetooth headset you just dont use the audio connector which mean it would be empty and you'd have no sound on the pda
but it would prob solve poor contact issue of your current headset

Thank you Rudegar !
I am going to re-open it and check if I can find any serial # on the component. It looks like it is my best option. Obviously, if I find something, I will post it on that forum, so that other people can know...
Thanks again !

internal mic/speaker stopped working

Hi,
on my htc wizard the internal speaker (for phone) and microphone stopped working. if i connect the headset it works, i can use the phone with it and talk to people. if i disconnect the headset, i cannot hear anything and the communication partner does not hear me. might this be a software issue or is a hardware problem more likely?
i think it might be the jack for the headset, since the display still works and all connections are established using one cable between the parts of the phone. And it is rather unlikely that the speaker and the microphone break at the same time. am i correct in assuming the same logic/amplifier circuit is used for the headset jack and the internel microphone/speakers?

disregard that, after penetrating the headset jack with a needle it works again...

Wizard
Ok, now I have been reading and reading on how to flash the HTC Wizard aka 8125's and I got everything but what I really don't know is...does the sims card need to be in the phone and am I looking to write a unlock code down when and if I see one. I have tried to flash my phone three times and I still can not do it. Even though I am reading the ever detailed and fully understandable directions, I am missing something. Can someone tell what it is?
I just got the Cect P168+ iphone clone (I do not like it) and I really really want to stay with my smartphone and I really want the rom flashed and upgraded, please help me. Someone may even eme to my personal email ([email protected]) if this needs to be done away from this site.
Thanks so much.

Radio playback

Hi all
Does anyone know of a tweak to allow radio to be played without inserting a wired headset, I often listen to music via bluetooth and would like the option of radio as well, thanks in advance.
By the way, I did search the forum before posting this as I know you guys have certain protocols in place.
Cheers.

try this and see if it works
Change the following registry : HKLM\System\State\Hardware\Headset from 0 to 1

hi, thanks for the reply.
I don't have my headset with me today but after I changed the reg the radio still would not play directly through the phone, what exactly should this reg edit do?

it should make the phone think that a headset is plugged in..havent tested it myself to be honest but it should work..however whether or not you will have a signal from the radio is another story

Dude, ther is no use for this... Even if you would get the device to start the radio without the headset pluged in, there would be no sound since the headset is the antenna...
So it would be like you are watching tv without cable... no reception!
There must be at least something in the mini usb plug. I found that it works at least a little bit when plugging in this thing only and playing the sound over the internal speaker though reception is poor at best.

Good luck!

There is some use to it... although the wire is the antenna the phone will act as an antenna also so you will recieve some signal it just won't be as strong.
Without fully testing there is no way of telling how good the signal would be, surely a phone that can pick up a GPS signal and a mobile signal should be capable of also picking up a radio frequency?

no, its not possible:

ok, I get the message. Thanks for all your help.
OT - I searched "Radio without Headset" accross this forum and had no hits.
I noticed that innocent people get shot down when they don't search before posting a question, how are they supposed to get decent results with a search engine that doesn't work properly. - Great site guys, the people here really know there stuff but perhaps go a little easier on people who search to no avail before posting. You don't have to reply to the post and if you do wouldn't it be best to simply give the answer or direct them to another post, up to you but it doesn't help anyone to just put - SEARCH THE FORUM or RTFM (a new one on me!)
Hope you see the point of this post, I am simply giving my opinion as an outsider who has just purchased a Diamond and I'm just getting into mods and tweaks!
p.s. Loving the GPS cycle computer. Best app by far!

GSM is in a very much higher frequency band, so it uses a very much smaller antenna than you would need for your radio. This is two very different systems. It will not work without an antenna

Android Headunit 4gb/64gb octacore USB port no data

Hi this is my first post here after it being recommended from another forum
I’ve recently purchased a android unit for a 2012 Range Rover evoque and the USB port is not working. It’s the only one and there is power, it’s able to charge devices but I cannot use a memory stick or my CarPlay adapter
I’ve attached some photos of the system information from factory settings and a photo of usb device test
If anybody has any ideas on how I can fix this is would be hugely appreciated!
If you need anymore information about the unit just ask

Anybody have any ideas at all?

Seems to be a hardware issue. You should get in contact with the seller to get this fixed.

I’ve tried contacting the seller and unfortunately they are not interested/don’t want to help

Then open a dispute and send the unit back.

The last option is to connect a small USB hub but I would be sending it back because who knows down the track what other issues may arise.
I put a small hub in the middle of my center console so that all the USB's can be inserted at anytime.

Sending it back/disputes/refunds etc are not a option. I’m stuck with the unit and I’d really like to find a way to fix it

So how to find a way to fix it if the data connection is broken in a forum?
This is no software issue. It´s a real hardware issue.
Sending this crap back is the only option, if you don´t want pay for a repair at a local specialist.
@sandpita
Sorry, but a USB hub does not make any sense if the USB does not work at all, just spending 5V, but no data. Didn´t you read his posting good enough?

I know from past experience with Linux/android boxes/libreelec/coreelec that 9 times out of ten a USB port that has 5v but no data is normally a software, firmware or kernel issue. I was told this and another forum would be the best place to get advice for these types of devices. Of course if sending it back was a option I wouldn’t even be here

My apologies, I didn't read it correctly and relax it was a simple error on my side.

Hey , i think i have a very similar version of this unit .
Mine is a new version for a 2012 RRS
I also had this issue ! , i resolved it by looking at the cable that goes into rear of the unit and one of the pins came unclipped. it happened after removing it so many times. Pushing it in fixed the issue.
Also, If this dont fix it. Enable developer mode . Looks for USB settings in there, theres an option in there that can change it from USB charging mode to data
Issues so far with mine
OEM interface didnt work - Update from seller
Overheating - Update from seller
Mic not working - Added a USB microphone
GPS signal weak - New GPS antenna
I am onto the last problem which is stopping me putting it in the car.
When ever i use Bluetooth Phone, I get a relay clicking sound from inside the unit . I then cant hear anything from the person on the other side. When i end the call it then clicks again and the stereo starts playing.
I also get the same clicking sound from Google Voice
Could you show me a pic of your phone app on your unit ? also.. Do you get what i mentioned above ?

Hi thanks for the reply ! I have very similar issues to yours!
- original car menus show a black screen with the digital version of the physical buttons it replaced Down the sides
-Reverse camera is also a black screen
-Usb not working as mentioned- I’ll try your cable fix though I’ve already enabled developer settings
-I haven’t had any overheating issues but I haven’t been on any journeys longer than a hour or so yet
Microphone is working ok and the Bluetooth audio and phone all work ok
I will add some photos tomorrow when I’m back with the car
My seller is useless and won’t help at all they simply ignore me, what update did they send you? My vehicle is a 2012 evoque dynamic lux

New TS10 UIS7862 6gb ram 128gb head unit q&a's

So I bit the bullet and bought myself this head unit:
https://a.aliexpress.com/_9JZiHu
Ad stated that unit is 4gb ts8, but unit shipped and arrived is 6gb TS10.
Plugged everything up unit works nice and smooth as expected, but one seriously annoying bug.
Phone connected to HU and when I try to make a phone call I can hear receiver speaking, but they can't hear me.
Head unit does have internal mic. And Mike does work with other apps
I've checked permissions and Bluetooth app does not even request mic permission.
Any ideas? Suggestions? Anyone else got similar issues?
Maybe custom ROMs available etc?
I've managed to enable USB debugging, got passwords for engineering mode, extra settings etc...
Pics of my headunit attached

Hi there, did you have any luck with this? I've just received the same head unit and found the same problem. I've had a quick troubleshoot but haven't had any success so far. Thanks

I did actually managed to sort it out. Store suggested connecting external mic to 3.5mm plug on the harness that came with head unit. Did that, but nothing changed.
Can't remember exactly what I did, but it's something down the lines of Google Voice setting that it's setup to constantly listen for "hey Google" you have to disable that and than "hey Google" function will only work when you in the maps etc not constantly whilst head unit is on.
If you can't find that setting let me know I'll find it and explain in detail how to do that.
If you have the same issue as me I'm positive that this might be the cause

That was 100% it. Turned the 'Hey Google' activation off and problem solved. Thanks!

Glad I could help. I remember being frustrated fumming looking for answers for almost a week... With seller being let's say close to useless they did try...
I came across answer online somewhere where same issue was happening with a phone not headunit so thought worth a try and it worked
Anyway, good luck

Could you please give a screenshot of the setting you changed or at least where in the settings the function is.

Go to applications/car settings/ click on the left button ---more/ Google services and preferences/ click on account services/ search, assistant & voice/ voice/ voice match.
First line should say hey Google access your assistant any time you say "hey Google" when your screen is on. Turn this off.
This worked for me. I'll make a short video just in case

As promised, sorry video seems a bit blurry phone failing to focus

You have gone over and above. Thank you. Found never have thought to delve that deep into settings for the solution.

I did try to be helpful, because I know how frustrated I was being unable to make a phone call or rather switch to hands free mode on the phone every time there was a call. And it really bugged me. It was obvious that it was software not hardware issue since mic worked everywhere else.
Seller couldn't explain anything either and I ended up ripping my brand new cars dashboard 4 times trying to work it out... So I kind of understand and if it helps somebody else I'm more than pleased with taking 10minutes of my time to do so .
Good day sir

A generic firmware update for TS10 deviced. (link expires in a week - probably worth somebody reuploading)
TS10.1.2_20210106.173438_THEME1.zip
1 file sent via WeTransfer, the simplest way to send your files around the world

Place the file in the root of a USB and hit the system upgrade button in the settings.
After the update, go to settings - car settings - extra setting - 123456 - config info - choose the options that were ticked prior to the update (BC6 for me)
The update file is titled: TS10.1.2_20210106.173438_THEME1.zip
Presumably from 6th Jan 2021

Headunit reloaded works very well (for seamless android auto support) on these TS10 units for those who have not tried!

Do you have any screen shots of the UI and the specs with this ROM?
Is it only suitablefor 6gb / 128 gb models or will the 4gb/64gb models also accept this?

I can't tell you with confidence what units are compatible. I do note it has settings for screen resolution - this is on my 720p device. I also note I needed to adjust the config info setting to match what my stereo comes with after flashing. The canbus receivers are set up using a database queried online and car specific apps and logos are automatically added.
The update is excellent - everything works very well. Head unit reloaded works with wireless android auto and wired (though a little buggy wirrless)

Thanks for this. It is useful.
A couple of questions.
1. Can you run that config again if something is incorrect? If so what is the name of the APK? Or do you need to load the whole ROM again to get to that stage?
2. There is BC6,7,and 8. Do you know what specs they refer to?
3. 20210302_221437.jpg shows a mic gain. Could you please advise on the setting path you used to get to that setting page.
Thanks again.

Can you access the extra settings menu on your current firmware (password 123456)
I would copy the settings for BC6/7/8 from there.
You can update the config as often as you like. This sounds like a risky update, probably not worth attempting if you don't currently have similar software with similar settings.
