usb terminal broken

i dont know when it happened but i noticed it today when my car charger stopped working. i looked at the usb port on the phone and noticed the usb terminal was partially bent downward. the phone still charges with the regular charger and still syncs, so until it completely stops working ill just leave it. PPCtechs will fix it for $80. htc told me that most likely it wont be covered under warranty but they need to look at it first to determine if i broke it. I asked the rep how do they determine that. At that point i realized it was a bunch of BS. he said the charge to repair is $305. and even if its not covered and i decide to let PPCtechs fix it, i still have to pay a $28 dollar inspection fee.

Shame, mine broke like that too but it was within a few days of getting it so T-Mobile changed the handset.
It really shouldn't be possible to break the USB connector. I know we should exercise care (and I do now!) but it's a critical point of failure. I still don't know how I broke mine.

Mine is bent a tad but still syncs fine. If you google you get thousands reporting this, but HTC doesn't fix it in new models. Cheap component. If it breaks on me I'll be getting another windows smartphone by a different mfr.
As nice as the HTC products are, such a critical component is made as poor as can be. If that point fails, you can't charge your phone or perform sync functions. This means a bricked device. What gives?

yea im already looking for a replacement device. my last nokia had a rare joystick failure. im not even sure what to get next. i waited way too long for this phone to release and paid top dollar to have it when it first came out. now i finally have my phone set up perfect and its broken.

Same thing here... hasn't broken yet but it's slightly bent on on the right side of the mini usb on the phone.

here is the direct number to htc. 425-861-9174. once i find the right person to talk to i give the ext. maybe if more than one person callls the same person at htc they will give in.

Hey, that's the exact same for me. The right side is slightly sloped down.
If someone does get a extension I'll be sure to call!

well that is strange that all 3 of us have it broken the same exact way . at this point it looks like a manufacture issue. ill get a direct extension tomorrow. and ill talk to my lawyer on friday.

Cant Aim
I am also on my way to a Broken USB. I know how my USB broke and it was pretty dumb. I have been in a dark place many times and pushed the stylus in the port (upper right corner). I have moved it back into place and put a little Super Glue in there. I don’t think this will last. So I was just wondering if the USB problems everyone is having could be caused from the same. I am looking for a cover to prevent this from happening again and if anyone knows of one please let me know. DUHHHHHHH!

If anyone ends up with a broken usb port and wants to sell the phone please PM me...I know someone that can fix it (had to have it fixed on my mda) and would like to upgrade my old phone.

I found this place that does HTC repairs. Positive feedback from people on other forums.
http://pocketpctechs.com/main~unit~HTC_Kaiser-71~area~repairs.htm
Since I paid $400 for my phone, worth the $60 pricetag to have this repaired if it breaks. Just thought others would like to know if they ever meet the cold reality.
In my book it is poor business practice to design core components cheaply , so that it will inflate sales when failures occur. (So that you or your carrier will have to eat the cost when a USB port breaks. Pure profit for HTC)
Definitely makes me angry the port is so cheaply made. Of all things on a phone to be cheaply made. Make the PTT button we never use cheap, make the camera cheap (since it's not amazing anyway), make anything cheap BUT the USB port.
The USB port is the central way to charge the phone, apply updates, sync it, it's the lifeblood of the phone. Without it, the phone is trash unless repaired. But thats probably the whole point.
Make cheap USB port
Breaks
Carrier foots cost for buying replacement phone for customer. (Or customer foots cost)
PROFIT FOR HTC!

Wow... I thought it was just me. Here's a pic of mine, I think it shows it pretty well. Like I said before, it's still works fine... doesn't look very pretty though. I've been babying my Tilt and haven't had any maltreatment. This is just from normal wear and tear...

Amazing.
Looks like a picture of my tilt with the USB bent in the exact same way.
A coworker checked out my new phone the second day I got it and said "You already bent your USB?" and I had to b.s. and say "No the plug is designed that way" he was like "ahh.... thats not right."
HTC oughta fixit!

this is why the right side is bent on usb port

..cuz you must have accidentally poked the stylus in the usb port while meaning to poke into the reset hole. I've had this happen a couple of nights ago while driving where I had to reset the device and in the dark I pushed the stylus in the usb port a couple of times instead of the reset one.. I only realized this when I synced the device next and found it to not recognize it and also not charge via either the computer or wall charger. So, I looked at the usb port and there it was.. slightly bent down from the right edge of the inner pins.
Whether its flimsy or not (which I totally agree that it is after my gentle inserting of the stylus just a couple of times) HTC should have given a rubber/soft cover for the port. Would make a lot of difference.
I managed to fix mine for now though.

You are probably right... don't remember doing this but it sounds like the likely cause.

sorry to hear that a few people are quick to blame themselves. the only place i accidentally put my stylus is between the keyboard and the display. i did that twice. i rarely use the stylus and unike others i would have remebered it. mine does look exactly like the one in the pic. in another forum i was told it was designed to be bent? anyway bad design imho and sice im not the only one thbks should be fixed. i build and sell 500-700 thousand dollar homes. when someone is unhappy i sometimes have to bite the bullet and take it out of my pocket. its called good business.

anyone get theirs fixed yet? now none of my charge and sync cable works. The only cable that works is the original charger and the original sync cable.im sure i will have to get this repaired soon. i have called HTC corporate but nothing so far.

fixed mine..
I had the same thing happen to mine after 2 weeks of ownership. I took it to a ATT dealer and he tried a different charger and nothing worked. He said its a dead USB port and to exchange it. Mine looked that picture above as well.. I ended up fixing it by taking a flat edge butter knife and gently straightening it out so it was flat again. I plugged it in and bingo worked like new. I can't believe that these ports are so sensitive.

the usb port on my 8125 broke a long time ago and i just went to a repair shop.. he fixed it with a brand new one in about 20 min and charged me 35 bucks.

Incredible USB/TV-Out Demystified - Tv out works!!!

After looking closely inside the USB port on the side of my incredible I noticed 7 little pins at the back of the connector. I assumed they were for the Headset / TV-out but since no cables exist yet I decided to make one and see if that was the case, also to see if the serial debug still exists. I did not have a headset handy to confirm the Mic and Switch inputs but I labeled them based on what I had found.
I have attached a pinout diagram as well as picture of the adapter I made to connect to the pins, sadly this is not an adapter you can make with your bare hands unless you have A LOT of time .
If you have the capability to etch or machine a board I attached a .zip file with a .DXF of the adapter
Text Version of Pinout
6- Microphone+ ? (unconfirmed but stays low unlike pin 10)
7- AGD Appears to be a common ground for AV / Headset
8- Right +
9- Left +
10- Headset Switch? (pin is high, assuming waiting for pull down=switch depressed)
11- Headset Detect to AGND (Displays headset icon, Mutes phone speaker, sends audio out connector)
12- Video Out+ / Sense (Autosenses video connection when connected to RCA jack, brings up TV out dialog on phone)
PINOUT

Well, it does sorta exist....

Apparently, some have reported it can be found in some Verizon stores... CODE: VZW6300TVOUT

so in your opinion, would any micro usb tv out rca cable work? I found a few on ebay that are for older LG phones.

From what I have seen, it looks like a custom micro USB style connector. Similar to how HTC developed the ExtUSB off of the MiniUSB standard.
I have not seen the official HTC cable, so I may not be correct.
XC

This is great info. Loaded with the connection info I may attempt to fabricate some kind of connection. Although Verizon or HTC are more likely to release their cable before I get around to this.

this posting serves as prima facie evidence of your success.
Despite my bein' just about as poor as the red clay that covers this farm I'm on, I hereby offer to purchase an extra cable to send you (just as soon as I can locate a few of 'em).

smokeynerd, you should start making and selling these! They would sell like hotcakes!! I would totally buy a few. Think about it man.

I mainly did this and presented it so people would stop wasting their money trying all sorts of cables and adapters because they simply wont work. My guess on the delay from HTC is some cable Mfg. had to completely re-tool their production line to handle the custom connector.
Presently the additional work (peeling extra copper) from the board after it is machined and labor of soldering wires makes it a total non-profit item and there is no USB connection so its not the most ideal connector. BUT... in the name of open source and the hardworking devs, If I can get the machine setup so that I dont have to peel them using an xacto knife and microscope I can send some out to those who are as impatient as I am and who aren't afraid to pick up a soldering iron.
Thanks for the feedback

I don't think they are the same connector but I cant find any good pics of them. the LG cable almost looks like it has pins that stick into sockets on the phone side to carry TV-OUT which woulndn't work for the incredible.

Nice work dude. It was cool to see this work.

I got it working too
With your pinout I decided to give this a try myself.
I made a cable by using a stranded RCA cable and some alligator clips and needles. This is a very temporary solution (I needed to hold the needles n the pins the whole time) and because this kept my hands occupied I could only take a picture from the Incredible itself
I cant wait till we get a cable for this (Official or unofficial)!

I took it a step further and made my own video out "cable". You can see the details and a video on my website: http://lanrat.com/android/incredible-video-out
Thanks again smokeynerd!
(Can't make a link since I'm a new member)

very nice mrlanrat your pics came out great. Kudos on your pin method, I can only imagine what that was like trying to take that first picture. The advantage to your ribbon method is that you could still get a USB connector in there. I initially tried using a ribbon out of a dead cd-rom which was also a very close match but my patience ran out
*** As a note to other readers, please take some basic caution if trying to interface, while everything seems pretty bulletproof I can't say what would happen if too many pins were inadvertently pulled down or shorted for too long. ***

smokeynerd, you have a pm

Someone should send this info over to the folks at Monoprice. They could probably get whatever companies they use to start cranking these out for cheap.

Since the Incredible and Nexus One are both very similar in hardware, does this possibly work with the Nexus One as well?

This is exactly what I was going to try, but haven't got around to it. I couldn't find a ribbon cable to match the pin spacing, mine were all too large.
Good job!

this is fantastic! @mrlanrat and @smokeynerd congrats on the great finds. Now I have a weekend project

Ok...I tried and failed....
I am able to press the correct pin and the tv icon pops up on my notification bar but there is no video signal
i have tried using the pin and alligator clip method and the ribbon cable method.
help please

I am definitely willing and able to solder the connections. would LOVE to get my hands on one of those machined boards....
would it be possible to machine a thinner board that would allow the micro usb to slip under it? almost like the ribbon cable idea?

[Q] Is it worth it to fix this?

A friend of a friend mine gave me a HTC HD7 for T-Mobile, because, well... It's trashed. He was going to just throw it away, but I took it figuring maybe I could get it up and running. Let me just say, it's in bad shape. (That's being nice.)
More photos are Here
The phone powers on, camera works, reads sims, both hardware buttons work. ...Everything else is pretty much trash.
I know the LCD/Digitizer is fused together, kind of like the HD2. So I'd buy a full LCD/Digitizer assembly for about 70 on eBay.
I'm not too concerned about the midframe, Maybe eventually replace it. They are going for about 30 on eBay.
Am I wrong that all I would need at minimum is a new LCD/Digitizer assembly, and if I wanted to get it in pristine condition a midframe?

so, would be spending nearly $150 to repair plus your time?
i don't know if it would be worth it.
they are going for about $200 - $300 used on ebay.
so, up to you if your time and money is worth it.
sh4d0w86.

...unless you insure it, leave it for a bit, then claim...?
Not quite fixing it up, but would get you a replacement for a lot cheaper?

Tmousa charges a 130.00 copay for the insurance to replace it...

If I were the original purchaser, and the phone had been insured. Neither of these are the case.

Yeah it would cost relatively too much to replace the digitizer / LCD, and I understand it's a very difficult procedure anyway.
If I were you I would attach this to a set of speakers or a HiFi somewhere and configure it as a DLNA receiver (if you stream music this way in your home) or at the very least have it as a touchscreen WiFi radio / media player using HTC Connected Media, Mixtapes, 8tracks, TuneIn Radio, Lastfm or whatever from the Marketplace. That would be pretty cool. I have a pair of Samsung bluetooth speakers at home and it connects great ot my HD7. It comes with a remote so I never have to get the phone out of my pocket to change the track or volume. When my HD7 is finally retired, it's sole prupose will probably be this.
EDIT: of course the screen would need to be at least sort-of working for this; can't tell if it is or not

The screen is working. But, I'm going with a full display replacement. It's a lot easier that way... and I can sell the working display to recoup some of the cost. As far as the housing, That doesn't have to be done immediately.
The way I figure it now after posting here... I didn't pay anything for the phone, and there's nothing worth upgrading to on T-Mobile at the moment for a 2yr contract & full price data (I'm on $5 web2go) ... So, I'm going to go ahead also and drop my postpaid T-Mobile line. Going to get the new $30/mo Monthly4g plan and use the HD7 on it for a year or so... Maybe pick up the Radar 4g when it can be had for 100-150 or so at that time.

I just replaced the digitizer on an HD7 and a heat gun and a old gift card made the swap very easy. For around $60 and some time you can have that phone looking new, if all it needs is a digitizer and housing.
Here is a pic of the HD7 I did a few days ago:

A Horrible experience with HTC ONE.

I'm going to tell a very disturbing story about HTC One
So, I got an HTC One like over a month. Everything's going great, amazing phone, lovely front camera. Just a week later, I got the Pink Tint issue. I rooted the phone, and installed the BadBoyz ROM (Sprint). I thought the camera was a software issue but nope, the ROM didn't helped about the Pink Tint camera. So, I decided that I'm gonna have to stick with this issue, since I live in Bangladesh, there's no official HTC store/retailer. So I got over with it.
Last week, my brother was testing an old Audio system, pretty old, like it's 15 years old, nonetheless, he was using an A/V Cable (Red, White input with 3.5mm output) and my HTC One. The phone's output was superb, he tested the Audio set couple of times. As he had to pull out the 3.55m jack a couple of times. After few attempts, just when he plugged in the jack, there's a static noise coming from the speakers, tried to play a music, found that only the RIGHT channel works. I instantly plugged in my earphones and found to have the same problem. Alas, I tried 5-6 earphones, but no help. There's absolutely no way that it's gonna play properly.
And to make it worse, my screen locked, I tried to unlock it, but it won't unlock or show anything. I had about 35% of charge. My phone won't Boot at all. I tried going to bootloader menu no help, I tried pressing the Power and Volume buttons for 5 minutes, no help at all. I became heartbroken. I plugged in my chargers for 1 hour, the red LED won't blink, I plugged in the USB cable to PC, no nothing. Next day I took it to a local shop, they said " We have to open your phone and check whether the battery's ok or not". Without proper disassembling tools, they opened the phone, and found out that an IC(beside the battery) became short, so they pumped it up, and voila the phone was working, I told them about the earphone jack issue, they said, the only way to fix the earphone jack is to get the whole set from another HTC One. And since it's a new phone in my country(came 3-4 months ago) there's no spare parts available.
NOW, I'm STUCK WITH MY EARPHONES not working. After assembling, the phone looks pretty crap, as there are some open spaces over the volume button. NOW, MY PHONE LOOKS SHI*T.

Ouch man, that's rough. I'm not sure what to tell you other than I hope something can be done about it soon. But if it makes you feel any better, I went four months applying to jobs with no phone because my original HTC evo shorted out and my contract wasn't up for the next three months. That was fun... but once they have more phones in, they should indeed do something about it.

Sounds like you're Bad Luck Brian.

I wanna see pics

Bro the problem is your from Bangladesh using a top of the line phone, people don't have crazy phones like that there, so obviously repairing it will be an issue?
I might sound harsh but I used to live in Pakistan and I had similar issue with my video games. :crying:
What you should have done is, send it outside the country to get it fixed properly, did you try contacting HTC about what they can do?
P.S. What do you do when your PC parts malfunction, how do you handle warranty claims then?

In my country, there are lots of experts for iPhone(they can disassemble and iphone and fix your lock screen button and re-assemble it within 5 minutes) , Samsung but for HTC they are very amateur. And there's official retailer shop of Apple and Samsung but not HTC. I really love HTC because of their build quality. iOS is **** and samsung is plastic XD.
And for PC parts, we have official retailers of all products.
@akrod2as : I'm not sure myself, the mechanic said that there's a problem with the voltage, when he connects the both ends with a electronic meter, there's no response from 2 different points, but other points are fine, so he had to work on those points. He used a soldering iron to fix it.

Ok those pics aren't as bad as I thought it'd be but still that's pretty bad lol

[Q] No screen after lcd replcement (White screen+noise)

Hey
I own an htc one m7 (801n)

Send the phone to HTC for proper repair

Agreed. Send it back to HTC. They most likely just get cheap Chinese parts and resell them.

They most likely just get cheap Chinese parts and resell them? I lost you....

You can buy parts that are subpar from China left and right. They are not obligated to be truthful to the buyers if they are OG parts or not. This is what happens with alot of on line sellers. They buy these parts from so called Good dealers and then when they sell them Custormers have issues. It happens all the time. They can even cause more harm. Send it back to HTC

But the screen i 've bought is original ... (from etradesupply)

Thats the thing is you can never be sure that it is. All you know is what they tell you. Many sites say OG parts and they are not. Send it back.

Here in Israel the disturber of HTC wants 300$ for a new display. for around 320$ i can get a used device.
I wonder how much HTC UK charge for that. I'll send them an email, thank you.

Good luck. That goes to show that if the official wants that much for the display, anything that is less them say half the price is most likely not official parts. You have to be careful. Hell you can get a used one in swappa for like 150

It is very likely that problem is coming from an improper connection with the LCD flex cable and the FPC connector on the main motherboard. I had it happen before when I didn't fully connect the cable back when I was putting the phone together. Unless, otherwise the flex cable is damaged or has some other issue.
Your options are to
open the phone and inspect it yourself, you can do it for free and this keeps your costs to a minimum. You need to be careful or you risk damaging your back cover.
send it to a local repair shop to have a look (hopefully you can find someone trustworthy)
send it to HTC
I circled the location of the LCD connection on the main logic board.

Hey!
I forgot to make a comment, but today i've checked out and the lcd connector didn't look so well.
Few hours ago i have ordered 2 display connector for 11GBP including shipping to israel
I really hope it would work, if not i'll sent it to HTC (i still have warranty who knows maybe they'll not charge for the repair)
Once i'll get the connector update you guys if it did work
Thanks

Still the same!
