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.

It's one guy, Josh. Can always try to ask him.
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

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.

I have the same problem!
Any suggestion?
I have to tap/smack lightly on the back of the phone and it will come back in. I assume something has come loose. Is the connection easily accessible on the phone? Or am I going to have to get a different phone?
Pull the battery cover off and firmly press on the speaker assembly...

Hello, my I9000 is about 4-5 years old, I've been having trouble recently with the audio port.
Some headphones will go in but pop back out, like it's on a spring. Some will go in but my phone struggles to recognise them, when it does the slightest movement will disconnect them.
I've had a look to see if anything is stuck and I can't see anything inside the port.
Anyone have any tips or solutions that may help?

Problem solved.
Inserted a cotton bud (q tip to our American friends) into the audio port and cleaned it out, came out a little dirty. Now it accepts all headphones and even sounds better than before.

I really liked the fact the dock could do audio out and charge via the pogo pins, so I figured that would be perfect in the car. When I got the dock, I couldn't find a good spot to mount it....until now. The completed setup works awesomely!
All you need for this project is a metal bookend and some JB weld.
Bookend
Dock attached with JB Weld
Piece removed from the cover bezel
Wires fed to where the back of the dock will be
All I did here was wedge the bookend between the radio and dash kit, and then attached the cables for power/audio
BACK TO THE PRIMITIVE!!!!

What's so bad about it? At least I don't have to plug anything in or butcher my nexus like most "clean" installs.

I don't see anything wrong with it, it looks clean to me. There isn't any damage or anything sticking out...

I guess his idea of contributing is going into threads and complaining for no reason.

Nice ... as long as you do not drive ..
Works fine when driving. The pins actually make better contact if the tablet is pushed slightly forward, so I bent the vertical part of the bookend to keep it slightly forward. Plus the rubber on the rear of the nexus making contact with it seems to create enough friction to keep it from popping up.
WARNING: Turn down your volume.
Good to know this works. I was planning on doing something a bit similar, but slowly building it up to be cleaner in the end. The dock will be an integral part, though.
Do you have any trouble keeping the tablet charged? I know people have no problems if they use one of the recommended chargers from the charger thread, but I wasn't sure if the dock may hinder or slow down charging any.
Awesome! Thanks man

Well I have it set to keep the screen awake while charging, so it does still drain the battery. It really isn't bad though. Barely goes down. The speed of the charging seems equivalent to charging via usb connection, rather than the wall charger.

I get really bad sound distortion using the tablet with the dock in the car, did you have the same issues?

Sorry for not responding for so long. I did have a bit at first when going over bumps, but over time it stopped. I think it's because the pins springy-ness calmed down over time. Also, the bookend helps keep the tablet from moving, because the rubber backing of the tablet makes contact with it and keeps it from too much. So over time, this setup has ended up working perfectly.
I have the same setup. Do you constantly have to enable media output to dock? When I start mine up each time I have to go into the sound settings and fix this.

Anybody out there knows how to solve my problem, my phone's usb port or charging port is not funtioning, I try to charge with my moto charger but no response, but when I try my charger to charge other devices, there's no problem, it do charging, what should I do? Does my usb port/charging port is brick/damage??

Have you tried other cables with your phone? For a while I had charging issues with my original cable... I had to position the cable at almost an angle to get the contacts to connect. Then I decided I was tired of having a phone that didn't always charge at night so I got a new Staples brand cable and had no issues since. So point is try a different cable to see if the problem is your phone's hardware or the cable's.

Thank you for the suggestion but I already try other usb cable, but still no response. Maybe I'll go to a technician to see if what happens to it.

Chances are the soldered contacts broke. Hope it didn't pull up any of the PCB board then theres no fix short of replacing the board. Good luck. FYI if your not a repair tech I wouldn't attempt the fix myself.
