New O2 XDA Atom Problem

[jdninedegree]

I never use the earphones and the other week I did to listen to the radio during a blackout with the storm we had(I live in newcastle NSW). Since then the phone thinks the earphones are connected all the time but they are not. I've removed the battery and sim and can look through the hole to see about 4 contacts three just on the sides and 1 protruding about 1mm. Should there be 2 protruding ? Is one stuck and therefore throwing a contact to tell the phone to switch off its in built speaker ?? When I go to the radio now the green icon that shows you if your in speaker or earphone use is always set to earphones. When I change it the tick from tapping comes back but the phone ear speaker still does not work. I have looked for a similar problem on the forum but cannot see anything. BTW I have doublesided sticky tape on my battery now after reading a thread.

thanks in advance

are you using o2 headset or some other headset. I encountered this when i used a third party headset jack. After I USED back o2 stereo headset, it work probably :)

it's the O2 headset you know the one that doesn't fit in your ear. Can you tell me what you see in your 2.5mm earphone jack. Am I barking up the wrong tree thinking it's a mechanical fault with the jack ?

I had the exact same problem with my RW6828, it was repaired for the problem three times before it was replaced. I managed to get it to work for a couple of hours once by putting an alen key into the socket. Other than that, repair or replace.

if it is the o2 atom headset, that mean yr jack might have problem. Is it possible, you shake the o2 headset.

I believe this is one of the common o2 problem.
