I never understood why they put the card slots in such a crappy spot. Well at least we have removable memory unlike another smart phone. ---

Uggh. My second tour is doing the same thing as the first, with the fucked up headphone port. It’s not as bad, but I have a pair of earphones I usually use at the gym that have a right-angle connector so it rotates a lot. When it rotates the phone see’s a momentary disconnect and stops the music. :wtf: It’s bad enough that I can’t use those headphones and if I wiggle a pair of straight-connector headphones it does the same thing. Do these things have a 30 day warranty? ---

1 year warranty, AFAIK. Time for another trip for Verizon. Both of my Tours worked great with headphones. Both were Canadian made though, not Mexican. ---

Then again, I just tried another pair I’ve got with a right-angle connector and I couldn’t get it to disconnect. I guess these damn things are just fussy. This one’s got a gold plated connector so maybe the lack of corrosion helps. :gotme: ---

> [@alpha earl](#): > > how did you tell where they were made? my earphones just arent loud at all, and lately my mouse wont move to the left for a couple minutes (feels dif like its a smooth feeling) Pull the batter and look at the sticker on the phone under the battery. The horizontal scrolling problem is one of a few known issues with the Tour. Does your screen blur when you press buttons near it? Is your battery door really loose? Do headphones work? Anyhow, I wonder if a different media player would fix my headphone issue. The problem is that the media player throws in the towel if it sees so much as a momentary disconnect. If they put so much as a 0.5 second time delay on the shutdown it would probably fix all but the most severe instances. /control systems engineer. ---

Yeah I’ll try cleaning the headphones that are giving me the most problems. If that doesn’t work, are there 3rd party media players for BB? EDIT: Any good ones I mean? I’m sure there are 3rd party apps, but are any known as good ones?
