Mic. Same as on the bottom

ok i know this is dumb and i wish i’d read this before doing so but i accidentally inserted my sim tool (eject pin) into the top microphone hole. when i did, i heard something click and my pin went further down before i realized that it was the wrong hole. i’m worried that i destroyed the cover/mesh that makes the mic water-resistant. is it possibly broken?

If you heard the click, then yeah... No more water-resistence for you. Maybe you want to see how tings are inside the s10:

Yeah that can happen. You need to remember that there are always consequences of inserting into the wrong hole, usually rather bad ones.

I also accidentally inserted sim card ejector to a hole on top of my note10+. Are you sure this would make the phone not water resistant?
Has anyone did the same and try to take the phone to swim?

Anyone know the audio path inside?

Are there any schematics that show the DAC and amp inside the G1? I'd like to know how hard it'd be to mod this thing to output a line-out.
i know where to find intel inside

don't worry no one gets grid.
*breathes a sight of relief*
back to the topic at hand....
You can try to find the htc repair manual online. Also, R3nrut tried to find the JTAG points on the phone so you can see if he got anywhere with it, but the diagram is not easily found.

this would help for an audio line out
don't know if this is what you are looking for .......
no that's not exactly what I was looking for but thanks anyways. He has showing how to get the audio signal from the usb port to a headphone jack. I'd like to know how the audio signal goes from DAC to the usb-port, and if any internal amplification can me avoided. I'd also like to know if we can get a s/pdif out from the usb...

Unwanted particles

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, the picture below will explain most of my problem. I'm wondering if any other IS users out there have dirt in the same area pointed in the image? You can only see 3 particles, but in person the whole line between the 2 parts is filled with dirt or something.
If anyone else has had this, did you find a way to clean it? I've tried a needle but even that is too big to get in there. I know it's not much, but whenever I see it, it brings out the OCD in me.
Thanks for any help!

Try with paper, a simple A4 might do the trick since you can bend it and stuff... Usually works for me.

Sorry, I tried it and as much as the thickness is perfect, it wasn't rigid enough to be able to pick out the dirt. So not much improvement
Try a manual air pump brush. Watchmakers use it. Just google the picture of it, you will know what I am talking about.
But watch out, they are small but can provide pressure which can break microphones and speakers if you pump em directly.

Recommended cases thst are compatible with sim extenders?

Anyone know of any case that can hide a sim extender used with the phone?
Are just the two SIM slots not enough? ?
If have thought the ribbon from one of these would fit inside the standard issue case - is it more bulky? If so I'm sure you could carve a channel out of it (or maybe you'd want to get a slightly bigger rubber case and set about it with a craft knife)

The extender is so that I can use a microSD card while using the SIM2 slot.

It's not the ribbon that bulges, it's the receptacle for the second SIM. It "fits", but there is a noticeable bulge. Also, I'm not that handy with a knife, sadly. :crying:

Recently I had been wondering to the about the water resistant capacity of this phone. So was checking out the externals.....I noticed this small cut on the right edge of the camera bump. Not sure if this is normal (in every handset) or just in mine. Anyone has any info on this??

I got in touch with the customer care after this thru insta, they have confirmed it to be part of phone design....
Dipping the camera module even slightly under water is not an option it seems.
Even I was concerned when I saw it but its a part of the design. NOt sure what purpose it serves.
It's a mic, quite a few of the newer phones with the big camera bums have this also.

Flickering fix?

Hi everyone
I picked up a used 8.4 T700 and from time to time it has some LCD flickering.
Is the problem in this case the mainboard for the tablet or the LCD panel itself?
Hope to squeeze a little bit of life more from it.
Thanks!
Try re-seating the FFC ribbon cable for the display.
Use care opening the locking mechanism on the FFC socket, they are easily broken (use a spudger or tweezers)
