Most likely it's fried.
You just put a lot more voltage into that circuit than it was designed to handle. Best case scenario is some sort of fuse is blown that can be replaced. My guess is that it's not going to work like that, although someone more knowledgeable about small electronics would probably be able to speak with more authority than me.
If you're still under warranty or have insurance, you could try flashing back to stock and taking it to a warranty center.

It's only $20 to replace, I did it, easy.

Samsung Galaxy S II, HTC Sensation, Droid Bionic, HTC EVo 3D, Maybe an Atrix

iphones earbuds and Thrill not compatible?

Is it just my phone or the Thrill doesn't support those esrbuds when it comes to using the phone. I can ear voice but they can't hear me. Tried calling myself using landline and still a no-go. They work with a pair I bought I Walmart for $20. Anyone have that problem?
Yep, mine only work for sound....

Hold the plug up side by side with another headset 3.5mm plug and see if the three rings line up.

Before u plug your ear buds in the port, hold down the middle portion of the mic (in between the + and - ) then plug in in while still pushing. Once the headphone icon on the Thrill shows up you can now release. Works like a charm.
hmmm. I never tried the iPhone Headphones before, might try to give it a go and see how it goes.

Sony ericsson and other brands switched the pins on the headset plug so you can only use that specific plug. You need a converter in order to make them work.. I know, it sucks.. There is a thread about that somewhere.

This only affects headphones with microphone.

damn. but thanks anyway.
I had the same problem with my old skull candy headphones that had a mic.
I solved it by ripping the plasstic cover up abit thats on the jack. so it pushes in deeper on ur phone.

[Q] Headphone not working properly after flashing ROMS.

Hi guys, I tend to flash ROM's pretty frequently. I've noticed that my headphones stopped working properly. I only heard the audio on my left headphone and not the one on the right. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance. This is a great community we have here. I have new headphones so I don't believe that is the problem.
That's usually the problem when only works. Have you tried them on anything else to confirm? Maybe there's debris blocking contact

Thanks for your response be-eock. Love your work here on xda. I tried my new headphones on other things and they are working great. It is only when I use them on my phone that I only get audio on the left side.

Try cleaning out the jack for the headphones.
I tried cleaning it out with a q-tip and got some minor cleaning done but no luck with the headphone sound. I tried voodoo sound to push mono instead of stereo through the headphones but no luck.

I have finally figured out what the problem is. The headphone jack is starting to go. When I press down on the headphone while in the jack I was able to finally get sound out of the right-headphone. Thanks for the suggestions. Now I have to figure out how to replace the jack.

Test a new headphone with mick. if it doesn't work, it's a problem with your jack. But the whole jack isn't out of function it's just the first connector. that means that you can't use tv-out too

Fake headphones will not function properly with Galaxy S.
Mic is available only with the headphones that came in the box.
Other headphones with mic give only sound output, while the mic remains non-functional.

I have skullcandy not the fake ones... and also stock earphones wont work..gives distorting sound but dont know how some without mic one and some mic ones work but not the one i have

As u see, different headphones from different manufacturers have different load resistances. And this load resistance is responsible for the quality of output you get. So, the the stock headphones are best matched to the phones output capacity for best results.
I suggest you try some other I9000s headphones before you go for sound jack replacement.

Well this may sound dumb. But make sure you have really pushed the jack into the port.

I got a a-jays one+ headset and found it was not compatible with Galaxy S . The sound was very low and only when I pressed the remote button (mic button) the audio was clear. Got to know frm the customer care that only handsets that have American Headset jack (AHJ) are compatible . I was suggested to go for a converter to use the headset. Anyways planning for handset upgrade(definitely will go for a handset with AHJ).
Hope it helps....Anyone with links to order AHJ converters are welcome to help the threadstarter.
Thanks

Broken mobo/USB port

OK. So my friends Captivate had the loose USB port problem. Well apparently they snapped the end piece or the mother board and the USB is half attached and then half not where the mobo is no longer there. Phone works fine, but it thinks headset is always in "with no headset sound" and only system sounds on speaker. Sound about fixed so there is speaker again.....but its been bestowed upon me to fix. I have a 25-30watt solder gun. Will it be just as simple as soldering board back together. As for the USB port itself I can't find and vids or pics on specifically how its supposed to attach. It has long pins that are longer than the groove/hole/indents provides. Something about pads missing. I'm not sure.

Don't they just want you to send it in? The only thing that really confuses me is how the port gets positioned again.

Also, there's a complete captivate teardown on here with pictures, that might help you.

Update so far still waiting on response. Soldering the mobo should be simple. It's just the way the usb port needs to settle back in that confuses me. I think I saw somewhere there are pads and that's why the prongs are deeper than the grooves they go in
