My headphone jack broke... - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I always use my headphone jack but im very careful not to shove it in. All of a sudden the other day I tried to plug in my headphones and it wouldn't go all the way in! What happened? Can I still RMA my nexus or do i have to pay?

I have found my jack to be a pretty tight fit. Are you sure you are using enough pressure to insert the plug all the way? It is fairly substantial as 3.5mm jacks go.

I tried shoving it almost as hard as I possibly can to no avail so I think it may be broken D:

I was terrified mine would break. It's insane how much effort it takes to get that bad boy in there.

Well, an RMA is worth a try. The worst they can say is no. Call them.

Do you have a number? I can't seem to find it and their RMA support email doesn't list the Nexus 4 as an option. Thanks

That's what I thought initially, but I don't think so. The solder points for the flex cable antennas are smaller than the contacts the OP is pointing out.
I busted this part but the phone still works so I'm trying to figure it out

Does your speaker still work?
It definitely is antenna. Not sure which one...
From IFixit:
Standing out on the board:
Several rows of pressure contacts connecting the antennas to the logic board.
The vibrator motor for...well...vibrating.
8 Megapixel camera sensor.
Battery connector.
The other side of the board is about as featureless as it can be.
Speaker works fine just missing one of those contacts but don't know what its for

Do you use wifi Bluetooth and 4g? You probably don't notice because it is only one of the points at which that antenna connect to the phone.
Yep all working well

I think so, but even though...
I see it this way... at this price, it's worth the risk, especially since the fakes usually sound as good as the real ones, and since these are the iBeats that came free with certain phones... it's not gonna be heard to match/beat
Are these even worth it? I've got Dolby surround headphones right now and they are perfect. Plus, they are durable and only cost me $10.

Removable back piece?

Does anyone have any idea where the top part of the back plate is removable? Seems a little weird as there isn't anything under it.
My only thoughts are that it could be a place to store the SIM if they bring out a 3G version, or its for some sort of official case which would clip into this
its for the case to attach on dude

Because you referenced one of the best movies of all time, I may be able to forgive you. You're welcome.

Screen cracked, didn't drop it

I think my dog may have pounced on it as it charged, what can I do now? So much for Gorilla glass 3...
I'll upload a pic in a bit, the crack is barely noticeable

LOL my thought exactly, nowdays people want unibody + SD + removable battery + unbreakable + scratch proof screen, water resistant, bomb resistant soon
Basically a phone that is indestructible not matter what and it must be below 130gram of course and have a big screen and battery.
Still looking for suggestions...

I've got the TEP, but I was curious over whether or not I have another way to fix this screen before I drop 100$ on it, maybe something to do with the 14 Sprint Return? Anything there that could help me out? Samsung Repair?
Spend the $100
For once it is a good thing to live in South Africa, Samsung is giving us here the following:
