Alright, So how my problem came to be is that i plugged in my phone to a projector through the AUX port. Looking back on it, i must have put in the wrong cable (input instead of output) or that the voltage on the projector used a much higher current than what my phone could handle. At the time, this froze my phone, rendering it useless until I did a battery pull. I thought this was odd but didnt think much of it. After this, when i wanted to listen to some music and noticed that my Beats headphones right side had no audio being emitted. After trying things to fix it i realized it wasn't the headphones that are broken, but the phone itself. I does not output any right side audio to the AUX. I knew at this point it wasn't a software issue, but I tried anyway, so I changed ROMs, music player, settings, everything.
So i accepted that, and did some research online and found a replacement speaker and AUX port for my Galaxy S3. $8, all I got to do is wait for it to arrive. It arrived today, so I instanltly opened up my phone to replace the part. installation was a success, however it did not work (obviously because I'm writing this thread)
So here lays my problem. I believe I blew a fuse/short circited my phone in some area when I hooked it up to the projecter. And this is not just this one phone either. My friends Xperia Pro mini sk17i was also affected by the same projecter. The only difference is that neither sides of his audio work. unfortunatly due to the age of his phone he can't buy a spare part anymore, so he couldnt try and get a new AUX port, although we now believe that it is not the problem.
If you need anymore details I am more than happy to give them to you. Please, I dont want to ship my phone in to Samsung to fix it.
Thanks guys.
Cheers
