So the little foam pads that sit between the two sliding components (keyboard and lcd) of my Tilt finally fell off. I knew it would only be a matter of time.
So the two pieces sit very loosely together when phone is closed and it makes the vibrating even louder... as if it wasn't already loud enough.
Anyways, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem... how to fix it? new pads?

I have no sound whats so ever?
I think i know the answer to my problem - i'm just not sure how to fix it.
Basically part of my headset is stuck in the headset port. It's the little tiny tip section of the jack end. I think the phone thinks there is a headset plugged in and thats why the speaker is not working - also when taking calls i cant hear the other person and they cant hear me.
Problem is, what do i do about it? It's an awful small jack fitting in the first place - never mind trying to get the smallest part out of that hole?
Any idea's? I want to avoid returning the phone to O2 because when they last had it (the touch screen stopped working) it took 4 weeks before i got it back and I need the phone for GPS everyday!
OOooooo errrr.
Thats got to be the worst of luck.
I can only siggest two possible things to do and they're nasty, very nasty!
1. Get a cocktail stick and dip the smallest possible amount of SuperGlue on the end(and I mean the smallest dribble.) Infact put a drop on a ceramic tile and dip the cocktail stick into it for a really small amount. Then insert and hold for a few minutes. You may have enough bond to ease out the remains.
2. If you dont use the jack you could shove a nail in there and gently wiggle if for quite a while to break the solder points carefuly and then pull the jack off, thus disconnecting the headset.
Sounds rough and nasty but thats what I'd do and then if it failed I'd put the jack on the remaining headset and send it back to O2 for replacement.
So for some reason my nexus one does not properly sense that my headphones are unplugged unless I pull them out with the plug rubbing against the right side of the jack, and to make it worse when the phone boots up it usually thinks I have headphones plugged in. This wouldn't be an issue if it didn't cause the earpiece to stop working for calls and the speaker to stop working for music unless I insert and remove headphones from the jack, and if I don't carry them with me and my phone reboots I am out of luck.
Is there any way to sidestep this without sending it in? Someone suggested to clean it with alcohol on a q-tip but I'm afraid of a water sensor hiding there like my old iPhone; anyone know if that's the case with the nexus one?
The best solution would be some kind of widget or application that lets me change whether the phone has headphones plugged in or not, but I've never found one..
Please help!
It happens to me for almost 6 months now. I still couldn't find a solution ... if you don't have your headphones with you and phone reboots, you can shut it down again and remove the battery for 2-3 minutes. Mine will reboot correctly after that.
I searched for a software that switch between headphones and headset, but still couldn't find one. I would pay for such piece of software. No luck until now
I have this problem also. I'm running CM6.1.1, and never saw this until CM 6.1 when they introduced the FM radio app that requires the headphones to be plugged in. With stock or CM6 I didn't have this issue. Don't know if it's related to CM or not, but it's kind of annoying having to keep headphones around to fix this.
Do you use any kind of task killer? I used to have problens with headphones when I used them. After I found out they do more harm than good, I stopped using and never had headphone problens again.
I don't use any task killers, I haven't used one since I was completely stock. Now with the latest Android, they don't really work that well anyway.
Thread moved to Q&A, as this is a [Q]uestion.

Don't kill me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that the Nexus One's moisture sensor is in the headphone jack. Also, a q-tip with a tiny drop of isopropyl alcohol would be your best bet to clean out whatever is making the device think that the headphones are plugged.
I actually had the same problem for a little while and q-tip + isopropyl alcohol, combined with spraying some compressed air (being extra cautious to have the can right-side-up) solved the problem for me.
Even if the moisture sensor is in the headphone jack, I highly doubt that a drop of isopropyl would set it off, given how it has such a high vapor pressure and thus evaporates so quickly.
Good luck fixing this!
I replaced the broken lcd of my ex-gf nexus and didn't see any water sensors inside of it.
But ya, isopropyl alcohol shouldn't trigger it anyway.
Thanks for moving this. I didn't notice until I saw the PM, so I might as well post an update:
Rubbing alcohol on a qtip with most of the cotton removed did the trick! Whatever it was that was causing my phone to trip is gone.
Also, I confirmed on the phone with HTC that there is not a moisture sensor in the headphone jack, so anyone still having that problem, try the alcohol and see!
I Just won an ebay auction on a used HTC one that has a problem with the mic, it only records static. I've done some searching and aparantly this is a pretty common problem, but I've been unable to find any solutions to it. Most of the posts seem to be from half a year ago so I'm assuming its a hardware defect limited to the earlier batches? I'm wondering if anyone knows a fix? Is it as simple as repacing the mic or is there more too it then that?
Phone was a good deal and even if i cant get it work can probably get my money back from just the parts...

If anyone was curious the phone arrived today. Kind of freaked out when I actually got to look at the phone (in person) and realized disassembly is practically impossible without breaking something.
Problem:
Extremely loud static during calls/recording, doesn't pick up any background noise. speakerphone/headphones record audio without problem.
Managed to fix it completely (partially by fluke?) and figured I'd post this knowledge in case anyone has a similar issue out of warranty.
Basically turned on the voice recorder app which has an active eq so you can see whats happening with what its picking up.
Then i started to jam and twist a pin into the bottom mic hole. After a few seconds I was able to cut the static down substantially and start to pick up background noise.
continued to play with the pin for a few minutes with 0 improvement. Decided to go for broke and just jam the pin in with quite a bit of force and still had 0 improvemnt. Tossed it gently onto my bed to google some suggestions, picked the phone back up a few min later and the mic works good as new. I'll probably spray a bit of rubbing alcohol in there tomorrow and pin a bit more just to try and clean up whatever gunk is left in there. thinking the fall on the bed dropped the crap out of the mic hole
Best $146 phone ever! I was actually surprised on how good condition this phone is in, practically 0 nicks/scratches on it!
I had that after my phone fell and I fixed it by basically putting my mouth on the mic pinhole and blowing/sucking (as if to move a membrane back and forth) but the second time it fell off that trick didn't work anymore. I'm stuck at speakerphone or earbuds now I might try the pin trick since I have nothing to lose.
So my tso recomendations are first try the blow/sucking trick before jamming a pin on the mic (a lot less invasive) and the second recommendation is don't drop it again
I don't believe the Mic is that delicate. I was definitely giving enough force to break it if it was. I pushed hard enough to bend the pin. I'm thinking there is an internal screen or something that easily gets clogged with dirt/grime. Maybe try some running alcohol to see if it can dissolve it if your worried.
I have found that the case often seems to pull off the bottom of the phone easily when dragging in and out my pocket etc. It does not seem to hold in very firmly.
Is mine just faulty or anyone else notice this?
Yeah same. I think it's normal, because of all the holes (charger port and headphone port)
Hello,
Maybe someone can give any tips in regards to the issue below. with my nokia 8
So few days ago my phone speakers started sounding distorted, I thought that it may be because water got in the speakers, as I put it on the counter by a shower, but even then the water it could of gotten was minimal due to the shower curtain and yeah. Well now the speakers are completely offline. I haven't installed no apps or updates.
Today after sound was already gone, I tried some apps that disable headphone jack, which ofc didn't work.
The earpiece is working and mic is working as well. When I plug in headphones, those work as well.
The weird thing is I tried blowing into headphone jack and I got sound for a brief period of time.
Now started more testing and well when I apply air pressure (covering headphone jack with my mouth and applying small amount of pressure) speakers work. Tried cleaning the headphone jack and nothing, only when air pressure is applied it works.
As a tech guy I can't imagine what could be wrong in this case, as there are no visible signs of water in the jack, there is nothing physically wrong with the phone other than the lack of sound and why would applying air pressure fix it and how to permanently fix it without warranty. I don't want to take it to warranty as the service usually takes a long time and I can't do with a temp/spare phone right now.
Hopefully someone can help me out,
Thank you
Even though your phone might have been only a bit splashed, humidity from the steamed bathroom could easily get inside, since Nokia 8 is only IP54 certified.
Try drying it like a water dumped phone. Turn it off, take out the SIM card tray and put the phone in rice. Let it lay down for at least a day. It might work, but if it won't, well, you might need a repair service.
well for oxidation you don't need to drop your phone into toilet, even small humidity can brake your phone, electronic is very sensitive
