I bought a galaxy s on ebay, was like new a week old.
Found it to be very fast and amazing but the headphone port seems to be having problems. only one side of the headphones work for some reason and if i twist the headphone jack inside the port and hold it at a certain place occasionally both work.
Have tested in 4 different set of earphones which are fully working and I get the same problem. If I unroot my phone and ask the seller for the original reciept will I be able to get the phone repaired under warranty?
thanks
My usb port didnt work anymore after a week i got this phone. It was sent back rooted and had unofficial firmware. They replaced the port for free however. You need the receipt though..
The samsung employee told me they didn't care about unofficial software. The procedure to make everything default is a 10 sec job
You replacement will be under factory warranty, just like mine

I had same problem. Brought it to SC and they found out headset was faulty. Replaced headset. Headset/accessories only 6 months warranty. So go get it checked out. They didn't even check the phone. So I won't worry too much about custom roms unless you really have an issue with the phone itself.
God bless.
Thanks for the replies. Found out it was due to the fact that the gel case I have on my phone prevented the headphone Jack going all the way into the port. Stupid mistake I know but at least I know its now sorted.

I bought a new motherboard to my n1 because power button wasn't working. I disassembled it fine and swapped the motherboard. When reassembling following this video: www[.]youtube[.]com/watch?v=60yNy4xYcFo , the back speaker don't work anymore. It gives me no sound whatsoever. Everything else is working fine flawlessly, even the power button.
The only difference I had from the video is that my speaker from the back was de-attached after dissembling and I had to put it back and from what I tried, it only fits one way.
Anyone can help me solve this issue please?
i dont know if this is helpful or not, but some of the n1 is modular and you may be able to replace the speaker easily. :-/ i feel for you. dont forget too, you can use a headset or bluetooth headset stereo/no stereo
:-/
My speaker seems like it died today. I have had my N1 since last January.
I searched the forums and didn't find too much on dead speakers.
Are people having this happen more now that the N1 is getting up in age and if so what are people replacing them with?
I found a reference to one site but they want you to buy 5 of them minimum. I am looking for recommendations if anyone has any.
Thanks

there was one thread in the accessories sub forum where some guy purchased a nexus one speaker to replace his failed speaker. i think he was forced to buy in quantity though, like 5 speakers at once or something. but i think his replacement was successful.
this was probably 8 months ago or more. but it was definitely in the accessories sub forum for nexus one. try search around there maybe it has useful info.
I vaguely remember that thread, and I think it may actually have been the ear piece speaker that he replaced... Might be wrong though...

I tested my speaker with a multitester and I get no reading.
I ordered a speaker off ebay for about $6. I will report back when I get in and install it.

OK, I got my speaker from ebay and installed it. Everything is working again and the multi-tester gave a reading on the new one. So I think I blow out the OEM one. I just hope this one lasts.

Hi guys.
I dropped the phone, and know my phone only charging. (PC can't see my phone any more)
I called to US Samsung center they said to call in Europe lol, because they can't find my phone.,etc.
So guys I need to buy new USB port, to fix damn Note.
Where I can find this part
Thank you for helping.
Best regards.
Hi, sorry to hear about your phone but I don't think you should fix your phone with your own money, the phone comes with a 1 year warranty that should cover such stuff and I'm guessing because the phone is not available in the US yet you might want to go down to a Samsung Customer care to see if they can get it fixed or else I'm afaird you have to do it yourself
BTW which country did you buy it from?

I'd get a battery charger on ebay asap. Your phone will go flat while you wait though.
Its not a good plan to try your own repair. Its probably a broken solder to usb socket but might be something else and then kill your waranty.
So try to get Samsung to fix it. And a couple of batteris to keep you going till then with external charger.
no understand
Are you saying its charging or not charging?Is the phone rooted if so you won't be able to send for repair, and as your PC can't see it you won't be able to unroot.Try cleaning USB port with nail varnish remover and tooth brush without Battery inserted and leave for 20 minutes to dry.If its not charging then maybe connector has popped off.Its easy to fix just have to remove about 8 screws takes 10 minutes I've done it twice.There are how 2s available on the net.I've looked everywhere for USB port they aren't available yet but toothbrush and nail varnish remover fixed it for me.
i doubt if its a broken solder contact. I think the flex ribbon connector has come loose. if you will open up your phone, then you should just reconnect the flex ribbon connector and your phone should be ok.

Last time I checked manufacturer warranties don't cover "dropped' phones.
There are US service centers that fix phones for a fee.
Guys I call to samsung they telling me to call to europe...
Damn
whenever i try to charge my note or connect it to pc it keeps lagging badly i mean i have to keep moving the cable backward for it to work and its very senstive with just the slightest move it will stop charging again ! what do i do ? do i have to change it ? i really don't drop my note or anything i try to take care of it as much as possible and changing it might be a problem for me since y parents wont agree ! any help ?
Well i do think that you'll have to change it. the charging port seems to be very problematic for the note. And almost all the note users here with the same problem have replaced the port. i guess it'll be done for free if the phone is in warranty. I'd like the other users to tell me the approx cost of the replacement.

many thanks to you ^^ yah me too its true that i am under warranty but just in case they refused to do it how much will it cost ?
I have this problem and I fixed it by using a real samsung original usb cable. this problem is evident when i use cheap after market usb cables. the cheap cables seem to loosen up and their contact pins inside wear out. this is when you will have that charging problem.
If you have any mechanical abilities, it takes about 15 minutes to replace. Many youtube videos on how to do it.
Port isn't expensive, maybe 10 dollars (us), plus shipping. Just insure you get the correct one for your model of
phone.
One thing I would take care of is to take care of who you buy it from if you do so on ebay. I replaced mine and it's incompatible in some way, speaker now doesn't work and signal is terrible.
Make sure you search their sold items for feedback saying it works fine. I was reading through a thread for SGS2 USB strip replacements and mingxing2008008 was a recommended seller for that one, maybe they're reliable in general
Hello
I'm really really frustrated.
I have an issue with my headphone jack. The sound from my headphone comes only from the left ear. I tried 4 different headphones and they all have the same problem.
I am on android marshmallow..
My phone still has warranty but I had a loooong story with the warranty company here in Canada.
The first issue with the phone's vibration.. The vibrating device was faulty and it made weird sounds.. So I sent the phone to be fixed because I'm covered by the warranty. After few weeks I received the phone with the same problem, so I talked to them and they told me to send it back to them.. After few weeks I receive a replacement but the replaced phone had the same problem and an additional problem.. The volume buttons were loose.. Very loose (apparently the phone that I have received is more faulty than the first phone).. I got really mad and I called them again and they told to send it back again.. (They are playing some kind of a sick game) so I've sent it back again. They called me and told me that the phone is water damaged and I'm no longer under warranty coverage... I did not believe what I heard.. I'm 100% sure that my phone did not go even near water.. Any way I got over it and received the phone today.. I upgraded the phone to marshmallow via adb and promised my self that I will never deal with this company again ... Tonight I wanted to listen to some music through my headphones but the sound is coming only through the left side... Apparently they managed to ruin my phone even more!
I'm really really really mad and frustrated..
I need Help !

Hi anyone else having problems with their usb -c port? It's started out as just the headphones dongle shorting out and not working but charging still worked. And now the charging port charges sometimes. I thought it or hoped it was software from updating...but knowing it wasnt, I still downgraded back to Oreo.. but same problems persist. Just wanted to know if anyone else had this problem or not.
I contacted RAZER for a replacement and they want me to take video evidence to show that the phone usb c port is malfunctioning. Lol.
Contact Razer for an RMA
Did you try to blow out the port Nintendo cartridge style?

Looked in there and tried cleaning it out with a thin small piece of plastic but it's brand new and nothing in there. I have a crackle noise coming from the speaker at times when the speaker is t even in use. I believe some wire is lose or connection is lose down there.
Both my RP1 and RP2 did this. Im sure its actually down to the cable. One of my USB C cables is completely useless on both phones but a brand new one works perfect with no isssues. Poor cable design by razer
I'm having the same problem
I also contact razer support and they asked for evidence.. For replacement
But i live in Iraq and they can't ship Iraq
So now I'm using wireless headphones all the time
Horrible Replacement Strategy
Yes!!!!! I thought mine was just the cable as other wires I thought worked. Turns out I was wrong. They replaced the wire first, which didn't fix it. I had to pay $500 or so for an "Advanced Replacement". I told them I needed another tempered glass screen protector because I bought theirs and you really can't transfer them between phones. They agreed. I requested the replacement equipment June 3rd. It is now July 12th. I've received the new phone but not the screen protector. It has said preparing for shipment for several weeks. It takes a warranty rep 2 days to reply to my email response every single time. I finally got a manager to call me and he gave me a $100 voucher so I could buy their wireless charger since they have it located in a stupid position. He is supposedly going to look into where my screen protector is at the warehouse. It has almost been 1.5 months and I haven't gotten taken care of yet. I will never buy another Razer product.
