I have a XDA II here, It was work fine, but after I tap a file in the Windows folder, then my XDA softreset itself, after the XDA can still turn on, all button is functional, but just problem to tapping on screen, when tap on screen it has on repond (the screen is on).
I also tried hard reset but all data is still here, weird?? I though hard reset will let me go back to the default setting, but it doesn't change anything except the clock go back to Sept 2003.

we should create a club and name it the fellows with the x-screens :x :x :x
Hey guys do something, where are the experts ??? I am sure its just software problem, I installed some software and next morning touchscreen was not working. I didnt dropt the pda.
Qbukhari.
Just a thought, try putting the device into bootloader mode then hard resetting the device.
Also try putting it into bootloader mode, updating the complete ORIGINAL rom and hard reset to complete the install.
Bootloader mode = power button + reset button + action button right ???
I have done so, problem still there
I have replaced the ROM downloaded from clubimate ----- problem still there
I have also tried to replace the XDAII rom ------ problem still there
now tell me where to get the ORIGINAL ROM ??? I am sure if the original rom is inserted it will be working again. btw pug can we talk online ? I am online now
[email protected] (msn messenger)
qbukhari.
hey all, I finally solve this problem, in the hard reset screen, there is menu for me to choose what to do in during the hard reset, like clear storage, registry... and i choose to clear all, then my XDA II is now work fine. (in the hardreset menu the backlight will not on, so it is not visible to find out the menu, also to change the setting use the botton of record, camera & volume button to control the menu.) good luck everyone!!
Thats a relief
Hi kindly tell me how to find that menu ?? I am sure I didnt damage my Alpine its just software problem let me fix it too.
Tell me how to find that menu during a hard reset plsssssssss
qbukhari.
WHERE IS THAT MENU??????????????
Menu ????
Still waiting for a reply, kindly tell me how to access "Clear Storage" function during the Hard Reset
qbukhari.
probably fake trying to make impression :?:
Too Sad
Dear Kabintos,
When you go in the setting/memory it is displayed total 122mb main memory in my PDA2 is this the same situation with you too ?
qbukharil.
The bootloader menu is not, as far as I'm aware, on the Alpine as it automatically detects network frequencies etc. Henrypak mentions XDA II not XDA IIi.
The program memory and so on in the Memory tab is only 122.04MB. Memory is quoted different to how most people think. 128000000 / 1024 / 1024 = 122.0703
The .03MB is taken up with partitioning of the memory to allow for storage etc.
Have a look at the hard drives on your computer for example, a 30GB hard drive is only 27.9GB. It's just how the manufacturers quote storage space, in thousands of bytes. Computers work them out in thousand and twenty fours of bytes.
To be honest Qamar, the more I think about your problem, the more I think it is a hardware issue, not software. If you've recently purchased the Alpine, it will still be under warranty and you should be able to take it back for an exchange. If not try opening it up and removing and reconnecting the ribbon cable for the screen from the mother board.
Obviously you've tried flashing it again, if the touchpad isn't working then you can't get past the screen alignment at the beginning of the ROM installation after a hard reset.
Out of curiosity, if the touch screen isn't working, how did you get to see the Memory status on your Alpine? None of the buttons are defaulted to settings or the start menu.
PDA2 live again
Hi All,
Well well well, here I am back in the game again. It was at the last moments when I was almost ready to send my Alpine for repairs when I got tip from a friend from uk. He sent me a tool to format storage completely.
After reseting the Alpine with reformatted storage the touch screen was back a bit misaligned though, after aligning it once its 100% fit now. How can I thank you my friend ???
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeers !!!!!!!!!!
qbukhari.
gbukhari pls send it to me m8 pls pls and ill thank you as you were thanking your firend that send it that to you :lol: also i wanted to ask you if you test really hard your machine after that in case it would do the same thing again
my email [email protected]
Can someone post a 100% tried and tested solution to the tapping problem?
TIA
Yeah...!
Can someone please post some instruction on sortingthis issuse out....
Lossing sleep over the thought of having to replace my screen.....
Cheers,

Hi everyone,
I had exactly the same issue with my XDA2i about a week after I purchased it (around 3 months ago). I was happily browsing the web over wifi around a friends house when the screen locked. I had to hard-reset to get it up again but it got stuck in a loop whilst aligning the screen, it wouldn't go past this stage at all.
I phoned the online shop I bought the device from and they told me they had had lots of people reporting the same symptoms and that they had identified a faulty batch. I was sent a replacement from a new batch about 4 days thereafter. The new one has worked fine ever since.
If it is a software issue that's fixable, great, go for it. But if your device is still under warrenty I'd suggest getting a replacement - worked for me!
Sorry I can't be a bit more posistive but thought I'd let u all know.
*server duplicated post*
Hello XDA-Forum,
i am new here, so you dont know me. Therefore i have to mention at least one thing about me: I never ask for help. Especially not regarding electronic Devices and Computer Systems. I always found my answers without asking.
Now i do ask for help. Do the math, its a serious problem . As i am used to solve my problems before asking for help, i have much to tell before anyone could add to what i already know about this problem (although i have to admit that i am pretty new to the Smartphone World). And as sure as i know that no one here wants to read another "Phone broken, HELP!" Thread, so sure i know that not everyone has the time or patience to read my ramblings (i actually wrote a rant too, but decided not to include it here ). So i prepared a summary, and you can see at a glance (almost) if you could help me at all.
Short Story:
My HTC One is Hard Bricked, and beyond my ability to repair - stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode, no access to partitions, no booting under dead screen. It seems i have to send it in for repairs, but i dont like that(well who does?). I researched the problem, tried every solution i could find - no result! if you happen to know a solution, please read the long story to learn what i have tried so far, and if your solution is something completely new (something i didnt try) - PLEASE tell me ASAP before i send it in for repairs.
So, i tried everything i know of and came to the conclusion: it is beyond repair, at least for me. But as this is against everything i believe in (well not everything but i hope you get the point ) i want to find some other Solution if not for me ( as i need my Phone to be working again soon) then at least for the next one facing the same problem. Again: read the long story, or at least the last part, to know what i am asking for... Basically i want to collect all information regarding this problem and find a solution if possible.
Oh and i would prefer technical answers (even if i might have to learn more to understand them) over answers that suggest "Dont bother, you are a noob, you wouldnt understand, just send it in". If you are about to give such an answer, rethink and do something else .
Long Story (Part 1 - What happened):
31/12/2013: My HTC One suddenly stopped working. Until then it worked just fine since i bought it in July 2013. It happened without any apparent cause or any hint of what went wrong, during everyday use, no water involved, no falling, nothing that i could identify as cause. I pressed the power button to wake the phone as always - but the screen stayed black. At first i thought the battery could be empty, but i checked it only 5 minutes before, and it said 32%... still i thought the power indicator could be buggy. Since then it never showed any lifesign again though. It wont start, it wont charge.
I researched about this, and it seems that others had the same problem, and on several different devices. I think i found almost every Qualcomm based device, but mostly the problem was caused by flashing, so this can not be the same problem. If i remember correct, i found HTC One, HTC One S, HTC Desire C, HTC Sensation, Nexus 4/7, Samsung Galaxy S3/S4 and maybe some more, with the same issue i have - Device suddenly went black and got stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode without apparent cause. Many people get at least a lifesign from the LED tough ( be it blinking occasionally, or staying on all the time, or blinking after pressing certain buttons) - i dont.
Long Story (Part 2 - What i tried):
I found several tips on how to revive a device in this state, most recommending something like "press power and one(or both) volume button(s) for XX seconds/minutes" sometimes with the addition to do this under a bright light bulb.
I tried holding the power button, power + vol. down, power + vol. up, power + vol. up + vol. down, for {10,20,30 seconds, or 1,1.5,2,3,5,10 minutes} (countless times), and the same under a light bulb (i doubt this makes any difference as i already did some resets previously, outside in pitch black darkness long before the phone died).
Some recommended to plug it in to charge and dont touch it for 3,8,12 hours - i did that. i tried charging with wall plug and via USB at laptop (for short periods and for 1,3,4,6,8,12,18 hours without touching it).
At the moment i try to leave it off the charger for some days (the weekend and probably some days after) hoping that it will eventually loose all charge and does some sort of reset after that. I doubt it will work, or even be enough time for discharging (as i doubt that it actually USES power in this state) but dont know what else to try before sending it in.
The charging-led stays off when plugged in and there is no response at all from the device. Except when i plug it in at the laptop, Windows recognizes it as QHSUSB_DLOAD. And under Linux i get the Qualcomm device too - no partitions though. If i press power for 10 seconds while connected, it reconnects - so the power button is working. QPST recognizes it as "Q/QCP-XXX (Download)". Is this normal or should it recognize the phone model even in download mode? I tried to get some information through QPST but it tells me the phone needs to be in DIAG mode - which i obviously cant activate on the phone itself. Other than that no life sign at all( also no recognition by adb and fastboot - so its not booting under a dead screen as someone suggested somewhere - dont remember where).
Everyone who had gone as far as i did in trying to revive the phone just gets this last answer "JTAG, or send it in for repair".
Long Story (Part 3 - What i learned):
As i understand it, the Qualcomm Processor switches to this state (QHSUSB_DLOAD) in case there is a severe problem. But i want to know exactly WHAT problem can cause this? And if there is ANY way of convincing the processor to switch to some other state without opening the device?
I dont know JTAG, i never heard of it before this research, so please correct me if i am wrong, i did just a brief research on JTAG and found it too complex to grasp in one or two days i will delve into it at a later time. Here is my first few-minutes-glance at JTAG: it is some sort of standardized hardware-debugging protocol built into many chips, and also the Mainboard or Processor or both in modern Smartphones and Tablets. One would need to open the device and solder the connection cables of a "JTAG-Box" to specific contacts on the Phones Mainboard, is that right? or is there a plug? (I think i found some people using a plug and some using solder iron... i dont remember properly.) When a JTAG-Box is connected to a JTAG-enabled chip, it can issue debugging-commands and/or queries to check (and/or modify?) the functionality of the chip. I found some mentions of JTAG via USB without explanation, is this a way to issue JTAG commands without JTAG-Box over USB Cable? (would be very convenient) Or is it just a way to connect the JTAG-Box via USB to the Computer?
You might ask, if i researched it, i should have every answer, so why am i posting this? Right, i got SOME answers. Now, i know...:
1) ... that am not the first one, nor the only one with this particular Problem. And not even my phone model is the only device with this problem. It might be, all Qualcomm powered devices are possible candidates for a sudden-brick-syndrome.
2) ... some ways to revive a Phone in this state (none working for mine).
3) ... if all reviving tricks fail - JTAG or Repair-service.
4) ... that JTAG needs an opened device (or does it? JTAG via USB maybe?)
5) ... that my phone is not entirely dead: at least the processor can still (sort of) communicate with the PC in Qualcomm High Speed USB - DownLOAD mode.
6) ... no one knows (or tells) what the cause is (or could be) for this problem. The only answers i got are: "There are many possible causes." and "It could be a Software problem" (HTC Support) and finaly "No one can tell without analyzing the device" (HTC and Carrier Support) - Sure no one can definitely tell what EXACTLY is wrong with THIS device... but someone could know what COULD be wrong (What the KNOWN causes are), and just tell me.
Long Story (Part 4 - What i want to know):
Well... I could(/should?) just give in and send my phone in for repairs and hope for warranty. But i did unlock the bootloader through HTCDev (had no other option for unlocking due to HBOOT 1.44) and suspect, they might use this fact to refuse warranty and charge me for repairs, which i might not be able to afford right now. Further, i am feeling absolutely helpless in doing so, and i am NOT used to feel helpless facing ANY sort of problem with ANY electronic device! It is NOT a nice feeling! And i want to change that! Even if it will be too late for me, as i have to get my phone back soon and will probably send it in this week for that reason, i want to find a Solution, that anyone could use to solve this Problem without even contacting the Service, if it is possible to find such a Solution. That is the reason i am posting this, and here is what i want to know:
1) EVERY Story about devices stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.
1a) IF they where revived and HOW.
1b) What was the cause?
1c) If they could not be revived...
- ... and had to be replaced by a new device: what did the repair team tell what exactly was broken? if they told you anything at all.
- ... and needed replacing parts: WHAT parts where replaced?
- ... ANY hint of what caused the defect?
1d) WHEN did it happen? (while flashing seems to be the most common scenario, but i and some others had it happen during everyday use)
2) What exactly is possible to do in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode (probably using QPST)? and what isnt? f.e.:
2a) Pulling any data from the phone without switching to DIAG mode?
2b) Getting ANY information about the phone? (IMEI,CID, etc... Hardware components - i guess it would need a switch to DIAG mode?)
2c) Switching to DIAG(or any other) mode ONLY using the PC and USB connection? (if possible, how?)
2d) Pushing any Data to the device
As i understand it, that is the purpose of this mode(is that correct?), but:
2e) What data can be pushed? Bootloader? System Image? .... i think some CPU firmware is delivered with QPST, correct?
2f) Is it possible to convert an existing System Backup so that it can be flashed with QPST? (i understand QPST needs files in IntelHEX format to push them? Or is that just the CPU Firmware?)
2g) QPST recognizes my phone as "Q/QCP-XXX (Download)". Is this normal or should it recognize the phone model even in download mode?
3a) If i get no Partitions in Linux while the QHSUSB_DLOAD device is recognized, could this be an indicator for an Hardware failure?
3b) Does it mean, at least the flash memory is fried? (my guess)
3c) Could i tell if the Mainboard was fried by NOT even getting a QHSUSB_DLOAD device? Or can it still be the Mainboard?
3d) Can i tell anything from these facts (Getting QHSUSB_DLOAD device recognized but no partitions)? other than "its a hard burned brick" obviously...
4a) Which kind of HARDWARE failure could create this state?
4b) and how could that happen during normal use in a device that is only 6 months old, and in good condition? 5a) What kind of SOFTWARE failure could cause it?
5b) while it is running? (every day use / not flashing) 6) IF i send it in:
6a) Will they be able to access my data?
6b) Can they tell (by JTAG maybe) if it was rooted,flashed, had an unlocked bootloader?
6c) And the hardware is dead, will they just replace the fried parts? or replace the Phone with a new one? (not really important but nice to know )
7a) Is it possible to use ANY type of JTAG commands/queries/(whateveritiscalled) WITHOUT opening the device? (via USB)
7b) Without a JTAG-Box? (already existing software simulating a JTAG-Box) 8) What kind of Information can be gathered by JTAG? f.e.:
8a) Working state of hardware components?
8b) Access to files on flash memory? 9) What kind of modifications/commands can be made/issued by JTAG? (depends on the device/chip attached i assume?)
I know i could just buy a JTAG-Box and learn everything about JTAG to answer some of these questions myself. But i did not find time for learning about something completely new (new for me) yet, and i dont have the money at the moment to just buy a JTAG-Box without knowing how to, and if i will use it (dont even know how much it is...). I will certainly NOT open my 660€ phone, probably breaking the screen and whatever in the process, because of its DONT-OPEN-ME-Design(nice looking, but in some cases inconvenient), and make it a test-dummy for my first JTAGing steps. So it would be nice if someone with some experience in that matter, could give me a brief overview of the possibilities and uses of a JTAG-Box - AND if there is some way to simulate one.
And finally i would like to get into contact with people who might have a clue of the possible causes for this problem, and the ability and willingness to work on a solution. I did find some WIP Unbricking Projects also working on a solution for QHSUSB_DLOAD related issues, but all of them where Model-specific (and mostly for cases where a specific flashed software was the cause) and none for the HTC One (M7)... Although i would like to have a general solution for every device and cause, i doubt there would be any Model-specific Project if it was POSSIBLE at the moment to provide a general one. It would be nice though, if we could at least TRY to make one(some people probably are already trying). But i assume (from what i read) that the existing unbricking projects still need access to the internal storage. So, no access to storage = hardwarefailure & not unbrickable by software?? Even if thats the case and my phone is realy beyond (sofware)repair, i would still like to get answers to my other questions!
If you did read all of this - Congratulations! Have a coffee and a break
I am sorry for:
- noob questions (if there are any left besides the JTAG related - i cant tell anymore)
- annotations and supplements in braces (it can be annoying, i always squeeze in some thoughts somewhere)
- forcing you to read this wall of text, probably full of spelling and grammar errors (i am tired and somewhat tense)
- bad English (not my native language, and... i am tired)
OMG this post is incredibly long. I'll give you a short answer.
Yout phone is hard bricked and MAYBE a JTAG may fix it, BUT the phone needs to be opened, which with this phone is pratically impossible to be done, furthermore you need smb with experience on those things.
If you weren't soing anything to your phone(s-off, hboot flash, ruu, etc) than probably the motherboard is dead. I have seen this happen a lot of times with this phone, probably because of not genuine charger/faulty. You SHOULD sebd your device for repair definitely, I'm 99.9% sure no one will notice it's HTC dev unlocked, cause it doesn't turn on. A lot of users have sent their and had no problems. Good luck!

Well, the phone is (was) s-off, rooted, and running ARHD 40.3 + TWRP 2.6.3.3 - but i did this long before it died and never had problems during the process, or while using the device.

I mostly used the HTC plug which came with the phone for charging. Although i didnt use the original cable, because it broke shortly after i got it. Sometimes i used a USB-Battery-Pack to charge the phone on-the-go. Could any of this be the Cause?

So, they cant just JTAG it (or do something similar) and it will turn on again? Obviously not if the motherboard is fried... but is it possible that it isnt, and they can? I will send it in nontheless, but i would like to understand what is possible, and find the cause aswell as a solution.
oh and thank you!

Hi, just wondering if you had any updates to your story?
I have a HTC One in basically the same situation - it totally died on my wife in the middle of her using it. The battery was at over 50% and we have never even dev unlocked it or flashed ROMs or recovery etc. No lights come on when charging, tried all manner of the power, power+vol key combos etc, tried the bright light as well, nothing gets it to come alive. Plugging into the computer does recognise the HSUSB_DLOAD low level qualcomm device but as yet I havent been able to get drivers to allow it to be recognised. I am taking it to a place on the weekend that says they have JTAG box and may be able to help. I would send it away for warranty replacement but it's my wife's phone and she hadnt backed up the photos on it for a few months and we have a 20 month old son, so we are trying everything possible to retrieve the data off it. Lesson learned, will be putting in place backup regime on our phones from now on!
Will let you know if any joy comes from the JTAG process
Reading your recent comments it is interesting to note that we do have an external power brick (IO Gear 11,000 mAH unit) that we sometimes have charged the phone on. Potentially we even used the 2.1A output from this power brick rather than the 1.0A output on occasion.
Sorry, i totally forgot about this Thread over all the other things in the last weeks (Starting a Business, moving to a new Place.. etc).

Yes, i sent it in for repairs, and got it back two weeks later. They had to replace the Mainboard and some other Parts(plus some they broke during Repairs), i could not get any information about the possible causes other than "there are many"... It was covered by the warranty though.
I dont think they could get any data from the Phone.

If the cause is indeed the power brick, i will have to check mine again (measure its output). It is supposed to have 5.0V 1.0A output only, which is the same that the HTC Charger is labeled with.
Well, good luck with your Phone! But if your Phone is as dead as mine, i am afraid you probably wont get those Photos back...

Ok, i got my phone back without trouble - but i am still researching (when i have got the time ) the causes and a possible solution for this problem. So, if anyone has any information that could be helpful: please post it here!
Hi guys! Sorry for my bad english but i'm italian. My HTC One gone in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode 3 times (it's not a joke) and i've still it in my hands
This is my configuration now: (today my phone entered in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode)
Firmware = 4.19.401.8 (Darkbootoader)
ROM = SkyDragon v12.0
Kernel = ElementalX 13.0
PVS = 5
Today when tried to turn on the screen with doble tap it do nothing, screen was completly black and same thing when i hold the power button with vol down. After i plug in USB (it was a normal nokia cable) cable and hold power + vol. down for about 20 seconds (there wasn't LED or blinking button, anything) it's boot into bootloader:highfive:
I suppose (because every time my phone bricks when i do too Undervolting) it has "hangry" of energy and it boots up anymore if i don't give him an "help". The same thing when i had the MIUI with the same undervolting
Maybe is too much Undervolting the reason of hard brick, did you undervolt your CPU like me?
Did you find out any answer?
Where you able to bring it back to life?
Did you send it back to HTC for repairs? How did it go?
Would this work?

third time.
To make a long story short (like you did in the OP), I have to same problem
The cause: flashing newer firmware version. All the symptoms are exactly the same. When I get home from work today I will try these 2 things, they are a little variation of what I already tried:
http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/fix-soft-bricked-htc-one-by-flashing-new-rom-via-adb-0154361/
http://www.androidlegend.com/how-to-use-adb-fastboot-commands-with-your-android-device/
I don't have much hope that I can fix it myself and am already in contact with HTC though. The main problem is that I'm in Argentina and I bought the phone in Germany..
You didn't find any other possible fixes, right?
Hi, I Have Same Problem Since A Month With My HTC One M7 32GB
I Got this phone as a Gift From USA HTC one M7. My Phone Just got hanged on lockscreen when i try to restart it, it turns off but did not turn on,no single light is turning on, no screen light or notification, no recovery or download mode. its like a brick piece. i tried all charging tricks such as USB PC ,Wall Charger for Hours, Orignal Charger and rest things, i cannot send phone to USA , i am in qatar, what should i do, any guys who experienced such problem and how did they solved it and, what will be the cost if no warranty. any help ? thanks in advance. :crying:

Hi, how did this go? I just bricked mine doing the same thing... upgrading firmware. I can't get it to respond to any of the suggested methods. What sucks is that the firmware update dialog in fastboot looked good to me. Sucks...

Yes! I just thought of that after I posted. I think I still have an ubuntu live CD around here somewhere...
Thanks!
I'll be damned! This worked! I just popped in the latest Ubuntu liveCD and went to town. My phone is now up and charging. Once it's at 100%, I'll try pushing TWRP recovery to it and restoring my last backup.
Thanks again for sending me to that link!

Done and done... pushed TWRP and restored my last backup. It's as if it were never bricked! And it also updated my kernel, which is what I was trying to do in the first place.
Just for future reference for anyone coming across this thread, there are two distinct types of bricks being discussed here.
The first results from a borked firmware update. In this case, everything works on the hardware side, it's just that the phone can't boot because the firmware is messed up. This is usually fixable using Dexter's method.
The second, and the problem experienced by the OP, is more serious and is hardware related. I have seen this occur with multiple HTC models. Something related to power management on the motherboard dies so that the phone no longer can no longer get power to start up. When this happens, the phone will typically have shut down without warning despite having a good battery charge. I have never seen or heard of a fix for it beyond returning it for warranty repair.

hi i have a problem when usin my phone it suddenly freezers and was not able to get acces to anything (Was rooted/Bootloader Unlocked/having Custom Rom/TRWP/S-ON).. tried to restore my rom by usin twrp 2.8. but there was no file and it cannot mount my storage...
Then, found on a thread to restore stock ROM via RUU, so i relocked my bootloader and then find myself stuck at everything
When I plug in AC adapter for charging, phone load in bootloader, and whenever i press "Fastboot/Factory Reset" my phone freezes
Even fastboot and ADB command freezes my phone,
I need help please.

This ways is for:
- When you connect the watch to the charger, it's turn on and says charging but when removing it from charger it's go black (auto poweroff)
- When you press the power button it's won't boot or go black (auto poweroff) at the "LG" screen
You need:
- Old battery
- Soldering Iron and Soldering Wire
Optional:
- 0 ohm resistance
1.Remove the sticker and plastic case on the battery protection board

2.Use Soldering Iron to remove the component in the image
3.Soldering 0 ohm resistance to the position of removed component or just use Soldering Wire to connect two contactor, it should be like this:

4.Done,now your battery should be work.

You are my hero of the day.
I replaced the component (what ever that may be) and the bootproblem was solved.
Thank you very much for sharing this
Do you know what the component is?

It's also call it "component" , and says it's possible is a fuse
Nice post man!
I did all these steps and...... tadaaaaam BACK TO LIVE!
Mine is working to!!! Thank you very much for the solution :good:
Can someone explain what is going on here exactly? Is modifying this resistor going to make my watch potentially unsafe (eg. overcharging)? I find it really interesting that my replacement battery had the same problem as the original.

This may be a battery manufacturer's problem,the old "component" are broken. Just don't use charger(dock) output > 5V 1A there will not safe problem.
Excellent :good::good:
I was having this problem even after changing the new battery, I used above fix and now its working perfectly since yesterday. Thanks Again.
Hi,
I have the same issue since a few days. First of thanks for the provided solution. But because removing a potential fuse and bride the contacts doesn't sound really save to me, I want to ask if someone who has done it month ago can report that there are no issues so far.
And if someone had issues please report them, it would be much appreciated and help other people too who will find this Thread in the future.
I just wanted to say thank you!
I bridged the component with a blob of solder and half expected it to blow up in my face but it works just fine. I think I'm gonna order a new battery anyway since this one is 4 years old but this fix solved it for me!

I really want to thank you for this amazing trick! My only hope is that whatever the piece we removed was, we don't end up with an exploding battery on our wrists! ?
Here is a Link .
It's on eBay Germany.
Between it's now for 15.99€

Thank you for this instructions, i was able to fix my g watch r and get it back to working. I didn't use it for quite a while, and when i wanted to use it again it started to only work when charging (similar to my lg g3 when the battery is almost dead, which i fix with a new one, second replacement).
And i decided to give this a try before buying a new battery, my thought was that i had nothing to lose... First attempt aasn't perfect, i was able to remove that little chip, but the soldering didn't went very well (i am not very talented with a sodering iron) and when i reassembled the watch it started to flash a empty battery icon and didn't charged or turned on.
So i tryed a second time and the sordering ended up much better the second time. The 2 connectors ended well connected this time and it is now working normally.
It was very helpfull and it worked much better than i expected.
