Hey today I've noticed that when I gently push the headphone jack cable/plug to the right (while holding the phone in front of me) the sound cuts off on the left headphone.
It doesn't matter which headphones I use, it always happens.
Here's a picture I did:

However it doesn't happen on it's own (at least not yet..). It only happens when I pull the cable by accident (and then fixes itself right away) or gently push it towards right.
Is this a common issue in HTC phones? I've googled the problem and I see that Desire models had the same problem, well kind of, the jack was too lose after time.
Is this fixable on my own, or do I have to send it over warranty when it finally brakes (I just assume it will someday).
Thanks!
unless you can find the jack and are real good @ soldering you'll have to send it in for replacement. I have a few g2s in the family all somewhat old and none have this issue. I have heard of others mentioning it though. of course I assume you have ruled out the headset as the problem, trying others?

Tried 3 pairs of headphones, it's not a problem though, it doesn't happen on it's own, I've also asked my friend (he has the G2 as well) and he says this happens to him too but only on the original headphones. Until it works fine I won't be sending it for repairs (we can't really get replacements that easily where I live) - I can't afford not to have a phone for 2-3 weeks.
I guess that the metal thingy just resized itself while putting in some other than original jack plug into it. That's too bad.
Thanks.
Oh, crap. Same thing happens with mine, I though I had broken it. Guess it's common?
Tried it, but had no problems with 2 different headphones. Having the phone in tight jeans with headphones can cause some problems. I would recommend not pushing it around, as you might damage the rest of the circuit.

You will NOT believe this. I rooted my phone today, installed Mimi ICS rom.
The problem disappeared completly (I am 100% positive on this, tried to push it VERY hard a second ago). How the **** is that possible? Can anyone explain?
My Desire Z changes songs everytime i push that, it´s really annoying at the gym.
Huh I thought it was just me, or the particular jack I was using. Haven't tried it in a bit since I've been using Bluetooth.

I talked to a vzw rep last night about my replacement incredible. It's having the same problems as the last one. I've only had it 2 days. I'm having a third replacement shipped to me, should be here around July 16th due to back orders.(but you all knew that)
My question is can i replace my incredible with another phone? Like I paid 300 for the incredible, and I used the 30 day worry free guarantee for a replacement, got the same phone (incredible), used another 30 day worry free (lol), and now I have a 3rd device on it's way. If I'm having the same issues with this phone, can I just replace it with another phone? Most notably the new motorola phone coming out. I had a Moto Droid, and never had issues like this, so I figure I'll go back to motorola if it's possible.
I called vzw and the rep said "we can't do that sir, because you had your moto droid replaced with the incredible" But I didn't have my moto droid replaced with an incredible, I still have it on my account, just someone else uses it now. She said that she doesn't know because the phone isn't even out yet.
so, did I confuse anyone? Hopefully someone that knows about this can help. Thanks for reading!
You have 30 days to replace a new phone that you get with a different model phone. Since all you did was replace the same phone twice because it wasn't working correctly then you should still have the 30 day option available to you. It only makes sense.
If you ***** enough they'll give in. I went thru this with T-Mobile with a Cliq and ended up with a My Touch after 4 phones.

when i was with alltel and had a tp1 it was replaced a few times due to overheating and crashing all the time, and they gave me a tp2.
It just seems me and htc phones don't get along lol.
this incredible is a great phone in some areas, but horrible in others. I'm not a picky person, but I can't deal with my phone constantly shorting out on the headphone jack and going all nutty, and starting voice dialing by itself and skipping tracks and pausing my music while i'm in the car. And that problem with the screen being non-responsive in the car mount is really bad on this replacement. Even plugged into the aux line on my stereo I figured it would be grounded somewhat, but the screen never works. The first phone didn't have that problem.
so to summarize: inc 1, horrible 3.5mm headphone jack issues when plugged into car, but no real complaints about screen.
inc 2, horrible screen responsiveness, 3.5mm headphone jack not as bad, but really annoying still.
After the vzw lady told me they couldn't replace it with a different phone I said, "well how much do you want to spend on shipping charges? If I'm having the same problem with the same phone I'll just keep returning it."
@ KB Smoka: That's what I thought too, but she said only the first 30 days I can replace the phone with a different one. I hope that isn't the case. If I have to replace it again I give up...
I agree with money226....If you dont take no for an answer they'll give in.
ya they should b able, just be persistant

alright, I'll give it a go. Got an RUU for my phone so i can unroot it. grabbed it now because of all the C & D letters Shipped-roms is getting.
For anyone else who has had trouble with their charging port.... I replaced mine last night with a $8 one from eBay. Easy repair... just need torx screwdriver and a small Phillips one like for glasses... no soldering... just a ribbon cable and it works perfectly now. Just thought I would let anyone interested in doing their own know that its a easy fix.

Thanks, I was just about to order one!
How's your headphone jack? Mine's kinda wonky, commands the phone to call the last call when I unplug my headphones :banghead:

Search for one for the INC. S
It's silver versus black (trim ring).

Mine is worn out, will order one from ebay and get it replace.....thanks for the heads up!! :good: :good: :good: :good: :good:
Thanks for this info
The fact that my charging port may just stop working one day (like it has for others) scared me. And I thought that I may have to return to stock (on possibly a low battery) and send it in for a repair. I'm ording one now so that when the day comes I'm prepared.
Although it is worth mentioning that I have never ever had an issue with my dinc 2 and that its in the same condition that it was a year ago.

I replaced mine a while back as well and the procedure was super easy. My only thing is I have 6 batteries and two chargers so I still rarely use the port unless I'm transferring something.
Hello,
I've had my desire for almost a year now, and it broke yesterday... I was playing with my 6-year old nephews, and my desire fell out of my pocket. I didn't know that it was broken until I wanted to check my whatsapp a few hours later, and when I did, the screen was like this:

... (lol the image is way too big)The touchscreen is working fine, I can turn it on and unlock it, I can even send an whatsapp, because I knew where the icon was. So what should I do with it? Repair it if it's possible? How much would that cost? I now have an iPhone 3gs as stand-in, should I keep that for as long as my contract lasts (1 year)? Or should I buy a new one? If so, which one would you advise me? A cheap one please, as I want to save for the PS4 later this year.
I'm running Sandvolds ICS for those that want to know...
Thanks!
There's a possibility that the screen cable is slightly disconnected. Try to disassemble the phone, and check the cable.
Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a try
Edit: Yeah I tried to take it apart, seems I've got no T5 screwdriver at home... Basically, if I would take it apart I would have not any idea what te screen cable is... Is it the LCD connecter? I do know quite a bit about software and that sort of stuff, but I'm a n00b at replacing hardware :S

I had the exact same screen on my Desire :silly:
That screen is broken and you need to replace it. I would recomend a professional to do it because I tried to do it myself and I destroyed my phone. And the other thing if you decide to go on with replacement - Desire had two different screen types and every type had one or two subtypes which are NOT compatible with each other so you need to know exactly what type of screen you have
Hi,
I had some trouble with this phone. Long story short, I worked in US and my job take a open me a plan with at&t so I can use the phone back in canada with rogers.
Since the Gpro is only available in US, I thought it was a great idea to have a ''unique'' phone.
It worked fine for 2 weeks ( led notification stop working). UNDER light use.
Then after some time, the LCD ips backlight stop working. With a flashlight I was able so see the screen but it wasn't clever.
I asked LG several time, but the moment I told them the phone is in canada, they wont help me, even if I paid with us money on us territory.
Like if I live on the moon, it took 40 minutes to get to the border....
They finally admit that some of the first batch got problem with the screen, but still wont exchange it.
F*ck them, I tried to repair it myself.
#1 - Clean the contacts with 70% alcohol. No luck
#2 - Buy a new IPS LCD on ebay . No luck.
#3 - Clean the whole device with contact cleaner. No luck

#4- Then I do remember some HP laptop and Xbox 1st gen got soldering problem, so you put it in the oven and they work again.
So nothing to loose, I put the MOBO in the oven, convection bake, 375*´F for 10 minutes. Smell of plastic and the mobo bent (use aluminium support to avoid that)
YES! It worked. But since I use the contact cleaner, my screen was blurry.
So after 2 months of testing, I bought a second screen plus the home button assembly to get my LED notification back .
But the LED notification never come back
I found a app called buttonLED, so the back and menu button flash when I got a call/sms.
In conclusion, I had 2 LG , E980 and someone give the 3D (thrill), and both got problem, software AND hardware.
I'm on xda since I have the motorolla milestone (one of the first android device) and the Desire Z. Those 2 devices still working fine, the HTC desire Z 2010 to 2014!!! Still in good shape.
LG device are poorly craft from what I saw and what I can read on xda.
I repair a lot of devices, but nothing like this one. It was clearly a soldering problem.
For all of you who can have this kind of problem, use this method on LAST resort. It may not work for you, but did the trick for me.
Been happening recently. Most of the time it outputs sound on the left side but for some reason it goes some what normal where the right side outputs little to no sound and the left side outputs normal.
Since it's international europe unlocked and I bought from a retailer (Handtec) outside of Canada. How do I approach this to get this fixed? I am sure the phone is still under warranty as I bought this around June (I think).
Tried different headphones?
LG G4 H815 ®
tried to clean up the jack ?
Is there lint in the jack? This happened to me once and ti was a quick fix.
I seem to recall seeing this issue reported on the LG G2 when it came out. People just weren't pushing the headphone plug into the socket hard enough. It took significantly more effort to properly seat the plug than most people were used to, so the plug was only making intermittent contact with one channel. Of course, you don't wanna seat it with a hammer, either. You might want to try twisting a little bit as you insert it.
I tried with various of headphones. Still the same, left side with sound and right side with out sound. I tried twisting it, cleaning it, pushing it hard. Still same issue :\
Do you play some specific audio ?
some song ? Stereo/Mono ?
Custom audio player from playstore ?
Using any equalizer ?
Custom ROM ?
Also..
happens when phone cover is installed on phone and audio plug doesn't fit properly.
If none of above then you my friend possibly have a defective audio jack..
Did your phone receive any shock recently ?
You took your phone to the bathroom because it could be causing due to moisture..
There are many other reasons..
Could be any

Everything is stock... It does this for everything including youtube, games, etc. I usually use poweramp as my main music player but it does this on the stock music app and google music.
It has been dropped a few times but at most like 2 - 3 inches form the ground.
1. You could have bad audio jack
2. It could simply be dislocated due to minor shock (Just maybe)
3. Defective main board (Maybe)
