Motorola Droid 1: How can I repair the headphone jack?

Sat, 12 May 2018 22:14:28 -0700

Recently I have been getting an extraneous crackling noise from a loose 1/8" connection in my phone. At times sound will completely cut out and the music app will become paused as if I had removed the headphone's all together. As it happens with every cable and set of headphones I use it is definitely an issue with the headphone jack. How can I go about dismantling the phone in order to repair the loose connection?

Moto G4: My phone keeps touching things by itself and I'm not even touching it.

Mon, 26 Aug 2024 21:15:42 -0700

This has been happening a lot lately and it is getting really frustrating. I haven't changed my screen or anything and I've had my Moto G4 for about a year now. I haven't dropped it from high up or anything and the phone is in great condition. Somehow, most of the time I pick up my phone to use it, the phone will start touching and opening random apps or start typing things when I'm trying to send a text. Can someone please help. I'll appreciate it.

Huawei Phone p7: Why is my phone switching on and off by itself?

Sat, 25 Oct 2025 13:18:31 -0700

For no reason my phone just starting to switch on and off repeatedly. It was working fine the one minute and the next minute just switched off and then on again. It stays on for about 5 seconds and then turns off again and then on again. And so it keeps repeating the process.

I tried restarting, and tried power off with no success. I then took the SD card out but the phone keeps doing the same. When I remove the SIM card then it stops switching on and off, so it seems that the problem is with the SIM card. Is that even possible?

Please advice urgently if there is anything that I can do.

Huawei Ascend P6-U06: Reboot loop! Factory reset didn't work!

Sun, 03 Apr 2022 03:19:20 -0700

Suddenly, after 1 year and 6 months since its purchase, my phone stopped working properly. I was pressing the power off button to unlock the screen, but it didn't work...after a while it opened by its own and I was able to use it properly but I couldn't lock it again!

After that, the phone started rebooting without stop!

I managed to reset it by the settings but it didn't get any better.

Battery is charging properly and the percentage of it is the right one.

Is there anything I can do?

Can you make any guess what's going wrong? Is it fixable or I should start mourning on my Huawei?

Thanks :)
