Here's my story:

The headphone jack on my XV6700 has gone totally FUBAR on me and I've got the obligatory no sound through phone, external speaker, etc. I did the searches for fixes, tried the in-and-out a million times, tried fiddling inside with a toothpick and that just made the black plastic ring crumble and come completely out so now it looks like a big gaping hole...ugh. I think parts of the jack itself have come out and are forever gone.

When the phone is in use, the headphone icon is on the screen so clearly the phone thinks there's a headset still in the jack - even with parts of the jack missing, apparently. Damn those toothpicks!!!

Is there a way to disengage the jack in the registry of the phone or something like that? I use BT anyway, so I have no need for this jack and its making my life miserable.

Here's the next weird thing....

My phone rings, and my Motorola H300 BT headset works to MAKE calls but won't RECEIVE calls. I press the green phone soft key to receive a call and there's nothing in the headset. I press the receive call button on the headset and the phone stops ringing and I hear the ring in my BT headset.

I JUST got this phone exactly how I want it with ROMs and what not, and just started to want to use it to play music. Now I not only can't do that but I really can't use it as a phone too well, either. ANY help from the gurus of all things Apache would be MOST appreciated.

Send me your wisdom....I'm here to listen and try anything.

Peace,
