Thought it would be a good idea to stick a screw driver into the 3.5mm port to try and fix the issue with my headphones not been detected.
Turns out using a screw driver just makes it worse, I have now cracked and distorted the back casing :banghead:

Also do not use a pneumatic drill on the Headphone port.
Maybe the problem wasn't with the headphone socket.....maybe it was your ears. Time to re-focus that screwdriver action.
Yah, most will laugh but sometimes you do things you regret later, it's human.
Not everybody is perfect, especially not me.
Horrible but you can't revert, it's an expensive device.
I feel sorry for you.

Cool! So justout of curiosity. What did you do when you found out the ipone charger doesnt fit into the mini usb slot?
Thanks a lot for the advice, you just saved me from breaking my back case.
People here don't know how useful it is
Yeah probably they will I think, I will keep my fingers crossed.
Just call them and tell you putted a screwdriver in and you scr_wed the back cover plus earphone plug.
But please don't cry to them 'GIVE ME A NEW PHOOOOONENENENE', because that won't work I ques.

Keeping to the theme of sticking things where they shouldn't go, did anyone else try to pop out the SIM tray using the secondary mic hole when they first got the phone?
Did you? Hopefully not.
It did cross my mind as well but I do investigate and read the instruction manual before I do anything I don't know 100%.

That makes sense.
Found that out by myslef a while ago
My phone was working perfect and then a mate dropped it.
Afterwards I opened it and found out that the GSM cable was disconnected at the connection next to the speaker, at the bottom of the phone.
Was an easy and quick fix, but sucked because it was the 5th time I had to open my phone

i have a problem of having weak signal (3bars at most) and the data is always EDGE (E). The black cable as mentioned is slightly damaged because the last time i close the phone, it got stuck in between. So i am wondering if the cable my problem is due to the cable or are there any other pins? (the black cable is connected and still working but will it affect the signal?)

Problem solved. The black cable just need to be connected like a normal wire. The additional signal comes from the bottom lowest pin (connect the two pin together or when u fix and attach the back cover). As for me, i soldered all the back cover pin using the soldering wires to make sure all the pins are well connected. (this includes wifi, signal, data, gps, etc.)
does anyone know how to change the microphone on my desire hd. i can find the replacement microphone on ebay but am not sure as how to change it, anybody have any knowledge about this can u please share it.. thnx in advance
P.S i am completely expert in disassembling my phone opened it may be 10 times: silly:
Well just google a disassembly manual and find where the mic is, and then simply replace it. It may take some soldering though...

None taken mate, guess I mistook you for a lmgtfy guy who just wants everything chewed up for him, and I am sorry for that.
However, can't help you with that precisely, but since you already know where is what, why not just get that mic off of ebay (I'm guessing it's cheap) and see it for yourself. Either you just need to plug out the old one and plug the new one in the right slot, or just cut the old one from the motherboard and solder the new one on it. Maybe if you could post some pics of the inside of your device where the mic is, I could try to work something out from there...
Cheers!

It looks like you would have to chip the old one off and solder the new one on, but then again, maybe one of your contacts on the motherboard is broken? What happened before it broke, did you do something with it, or did it just stop working?

Not sure about wireless charging. Case connects to micro-usb port inside to activate touch pad like otg usb peripheral device. And it provides an external micro-usb port connection for charging.

Was just asking bc there were some wireless charging cases (same design using the microusb) so I thought maybe they might have killed 2 birds with one stone for Note 2 (on Verizon etc).

How is this helping anything? Maybe this would be handy if you had no thumbs to reach the front of your device.. lol
If it an issue of not being able to reach spots of your Note2.. use Nova launcher and configure it with swipe actions to do things.
I agree.. redundant.
Plus.. do you see how HUGE this case is?? it adds a massive hunk of case below the phone. The pics are very cleverly making that somewhat transparent so it doesn't look like the phone is any bigger.. but damn.. that's HUGE.

But in all seriousness, you gotta agree this is one of the most original and innovative accessories we have seen for Note 2 so far. Also, making case longer has its advantage to lower your grip for index finger to have more room to control the pad. What I would add to this since micro-usb connection already in place, a built-in external battery and to offer a custom case with some bumper/lip protection.
I keep coming back to this to figure out what problem it solves. with one hand I can reach just about everywhere on the screen that I would under normal non-gaming solutions.
Just not the right product for me.
But if you only have 3 fingers or something, great idea!
For those who are curious, this is basically the answer to the Pantech Vega 6, a korean only phone. I'm sort of surprised something like this came out so soon for the Note II, here it is. You may see more similar stuff like this being common as phones get larger and larger.
here's a short ad for the pantech vega 6, but all in korean. http://youtu.be/QwYhG4E3iiY
Hi all,
My sister tried installing candy crash on her, used to be mine, desire.
The phone crashed, funny isn't it, and all it can do now is charge but will not operate at all, even not to boot loader.
The device is rooted, s off and with partition table of cm.
It had cm 2.3.7 and cwm recovery before crash.
When charging, orange led will lit but when pressing power button to start the device led will turn off and nothing else happen.
The only way to get the charging led to lit again is to remove and reinstall the battery.
Any clue?
Thanks,
Oren

If you can't get to bootloader then it's hard from here. How about fastboot (back + power)
Try the troubleshooting thread stickied to the top of q&a
Likely you'll have to run an RUU, but you'll lose all your data in the process.
Thanks.
I'll try to check if I get ADB to see the device.
Maybe the display is to blame for not working.

So I don't get anything...
Even Charging will take place only after I remove the battery and reinstall.
So it's dead completely?
Was there enough internal space before she installed Candy crush?

Ok, so the check cost only $15, but this is the only good news...
The problem is the mother board and its fix would cost around $200 which is insane for such an old device.
I asked them to and it back and thought I would try doing it alone.
The issue is, I can't find a place on the net for buying such a mother board...

Really simple. Take out battery, simcard and sdcard, take out the screws then unclip the plastic then ul see the motherboard then unclip the flex cables and take out the motherboard. Ul be surprised how easy it is. Theres good videos on youtube anyway if u need bit of help.
Ok, main board arrived 2 days ago and yesterday evening I finally found the time to replace it.
It seems the unit works now but the display doesn't...

Try to check if the 3 cable in blue circles are COMPLETELY plugged.
I once forgot to plug back one of them and my screen was dead too.
They sometimes seems to be plugged but actually not.
And, make sure your "new" motherboard is really also working.
