[Q] Headphone jack not detecting headphones topic

Hey,

My headphone jack has stopped detecting whether headphones are plugged in or not, stopped a few days ago, my phone is just about 5 weeks old and fully stock.

The jack it self is working, by using the app soundabout I'm able to "force" the sound to the headphones, but only manually. The Z3 never detects that headphones are connected.

There are a few threads on sonys forum but other than recommending testing the soundabout-app which really is more of a poor workaround than a solution there doesn't seem to any working tips to solve it. I my self havn't tried factory reset yet, but others say they have without solving the problem.

Some one with advice on how to solve this (if it's not a HW-problem)?

[Q] HELP with recovery, no usb access to nexus 7, not detecting with official cable. topic

Ok so long story short, i have a nexus 7 2012 which a rooted and installed cyanogen mod.
I was using it as a car install and works perfect, i'm using an otg cable to mount usb sticks, triggering soft shutdown and powering the nexus etc. So usb seems to be working fine.

Basically i removed the tablet it to modify the bootloader to turn on automatically with ac power applied, if the battery runs out i have to manually power on with button, but now i'm running into a problem.

Ever since taking the tablet out and trying to connect over usb, none of my computers detect the tablet.
I've tried different operating systems, drivers, cables etc etc.
Also changed from mtp to ptp in storage and also turned on usb debugging mode. If i connect an otg cable the nexus see's the otg and i can mount usb's etc.

So i thought i might try recover the nexus back to factory, maybe there was an issue with the rom corrupted etc, I've downloaded the original 4.2.2 firmware which is currently installed.
Booted into recovery and tried re-installing the 4.2.2 zip, it keeps aborting. A guy in work tried to use sideloader and connect via adb. no luck.

I'm not very familiar with the android platform so i've no other ideas what to do and other idea's how to recover now.

The guy i work with mentioned using a usb jig, would that be the way to go or can anyone else suggest some else that might help.

Thanks

[Q] TWRP not detecting micro SD card topic

I'm having a problem backing up my rom on TWRP, I only have 1 GB of available space (4 GB max) and the backup is 4 Gb in size. I want to backup to my external SD card which has 12 GB of free space. But when I try to select a different storage, the SD won't show up.
All I see is internal (1 GB Free) and SD card (1 GB free). I see the same thing with two other SD cards I've tried.

The first card is a 32 GB UHS-l class 10, second is a 16 GB UHS-l class 10, and the third card is a 16 GB SDHC class 10 (Fat32)
Im not sure what format the first two cards are.

There's no hope for using a flash drive either, since there's no OTG support on Tab 4.

Help will be appreciated.

[Q] Helium Backu-Up is not detecting tablet. Why? topic

Dear experts,

I try to backup my tablet without rooting it using the Helium app. My PC runs with Win 8 and my tablet ist a Samsung 3g 10.1 tab 2 (P7501). I did teh following:
- installed the Helium app on my tab
- installed the ADB Drivers from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2537083

- started Helium app
- started Helium desktopt SW

Funny Thing, my PC detects the tablet and I do have Access to my files. Helium is not detecting my tab.

If you do have any comments or hints, please let me know!
