Hello all, My Tilt gave me a scare when it decided not to charge on my a/c docking station or my car charger... however it still charged on my HTC charger (the one that came with the phone) I also could use active sync and flash roms okay. AFter inspecting the mini usb port I could see the far right pin was bent down and the plastic guide was broken. I bent it pack up with a safety pin and all my chargers worked again. Sometimes the pin gets bent back down and I have to re-bend it back into place. This is really not a big deal to me, i'm just worried about the day when the pin just breaks off from so much bending back and forth. I found the port from this website. (seems like alot of money to me) and I have looked over the HTC service manual for disassembly of the phone. My soldering skills are good. I have soldered in mod chips to ps 2's xboxs and my wii no problem. is this port surface mount? Is it really difficult to replace? Does anyone have any other advice or suggestions? Is this a repair that a guy with decent solder skills can handle?

I'd say go for it man. I resoldered the usb port on my wizard a couple years ago, and i had no soldering skills whatsoever.If you have some experience, you'll be a-ok. take your time disassembling, its pretty easy to do, oh, and a flux pen would be a good idea too.
If I were you, I wouldn't waste $50 on that replacement part. I would try and buy one of those HTC adapter things that turns your port into a data port and headset port and take the headset port from that. I bought one for like $5 and the headset port looks like it has all the pins of the original so you should try that for $5.

Hey guys,
Does anyone have broken G1. My antenna cable is broken. I cant find this cable anywhere. This is the longer one. I will cover postage cost. I am from Poland. Please PM me. Thanks.
I really wish I could send you one.
But my parents would kill me.
You can wait 3 years when ill be 18 and able to make my own desicions
i have lots, but first may i ask how you broke it? were you trying to take it apart? or is it the board that is broken not the antenna?
or are you just talking about the wire? shorter wire for antenna board and longer wire going to the gps board
He's looking for the longer wire going to the board apparantly
The gps and antenna is easy to mix up....but I'm sure he got the "longer" part right
My longer wire is broken. I managed to put a screw through this wire.

here is a link for some parts on ebay, id recommend looking for something local. if you really cant find anything i guess i could send you the cable in an envelope.
shouldnt cost too much but i'd still require you paid for it
What kind of function does the Droid 3's internal coax cable have? Does it work as a wi-fi-antenna, GPS-antenna or both?
I'm going to replace a few parts in my phone, but it looks like I can't do it without breaking the coax cable...just wondering if I can manage a few days without it till I get a new one..
Not sure which cable you are referring, but you should be able to take the whole thing apart without breaking any cables. If it is the one that attaches to the backplate of the phone, you have to lift up on the connector on the phone.
Pictures and more details of what you are trying to do may be helpfull to answering your question
It's the one attached to the backplate. And the backplate is one of parts I'm going to change, but the new backplate replacement does note come with a coax cable. The cable on the old backplate is impossible to remove without breaking it as it's glued to the backplate. Disconnecting the connector is not a problem.
I understand now, I looked at a spare backplate I have and the cable is soldered to the phone in several spots, that would indeed be very hard to remove, but possible with a good iron. I hate how a lot of the replacement parts out there come without important pieces, this is usually a good headache.
If you have the part in hand, it is a simple swap, try it out and see what antennas don't work by trying to connect to gps, wifi etc. If you don't have the part in hand, I would look elsewhere to obtain one.
Any one know of a company that can fix the USB port on a HTC Raider in Canada. Rogers wants to charge me $250 to fix it.

You could probably buy two new Raiders for $250! Replacement might be the best bet, as you can likely find one on Kijiji for $100 or so. If you have a local cell repair joint, give them a call, and see if they offer the replacement. It might be tricky since the USB on the Raider (as other HTC phones) is actually a special type of HDMI jack that also has USB (known as MHL).
If you're adventurous, you might track down a broken Raider and attempt a part swap yourself. I've not seen the inside of the unit, so I can't say how easy or hard that would be at any skill level...
Hope you get it fixed up!
The part is on eBay you can always try to do it yourself should be a few small solder points

A friend needed this. We ordered one off ebay ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-USB-Pow...328529?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27c422a1d1 ) and although it required opening the phone up and voiding the warranty, it required no soldering. He doesn't open electronics up very often, and said it wasn't very hard to do.
i was babbling abt this in a thread in the dev forum, thot i'd best do it also here in the proper forum for it:
i changed the USB port in my Raider, was very simple. Six little screws, two different lengths so keep track of them. One screw also holds down the teeny cover under which is where the tiny connector resides that connects the port to the fone circuit board. Once the fone is back together that's where you make the final connection between port and fone.
Slip off the battery cover, undo the six screws, take off that tiny little cover. Carefully work off the entire back housing. There's no front housing, just the screen glass and the fone circuitry bundled together.
Micro-USB port and ribbon connector is fastened to the housing with two more of those little screws. Change out the port with the new one. New part may not be an exact duplicate of the old part: that's ok. Reassemble the fone. Under that hole left by the tiny cover, press home the miniscule plug that connects up the port to the fone.
Put back the tiny cover, fasten back all the screws, and you're done. Port cost me $9 USD plus shipping on ebay.

Hey, dude, I know this thread is a little old, but can you PM me the link to where you bought your USB port? I think I need to replace my port (issues connecting to PC and charging requires wire wiggling), but I've read about certain ports not working with data transfer and only charging, and I don't want to make that kind of mistake.

Hey guys, i have been searching on ebay and on google, for a replacement charging port, but i can seem to find the correct one. Some show the charging port only and others whats seems to be the daugtherboard that holds the charging port. Has any of you order from here before? http://www.bluphoneparts.com/blu-vivo-xl-sub-pcba-with-charging-port/, they have the pcb with the charging port on it, but no image. any help will be greatly appreciated thank you.
I purchased the exact part that you linked and this fixed the charging port issue on my Vivo XL. Will need a bit of soldering skill to remove the speaker from the old board and solder onto the replacement board -- the solder pads are small, but not difficult if you have some experience. Two ribbon connectors need to be pulled up (2x small connectors, not the large metal -- that is a cover) and the board itself is attached to the frame by some adhesive.
Now the phone works great again -- well worth the $27 (w/shipping) to fix this common charging port issue.

Hi did you get though with changing the port, my port needs changing but that part is no longer available, there is another site that is selling just the charge port. I have no idea how to change the port. I'm planning on asking someone with a soldering iron for help, is it difficult. Also with shipping to Trinidad the part is 22 us, there's a nexus 5x port on eBay for about 5 us , is there any chance that it will work.
Thanks

I think I saw "just" the charging port when I was searching... looks pretty difficult to just change the port..
I got the little board that includes the charging port for about $27 US...
I just changed it and it was not very difficult.
You have to unsolder the old speaker wires and swap it to the new board... pretty easy...
Just don't let your soldering iron get very hot... test with a piece of very thin soldering wire to where it just melts.
Unplug your soldering iron to regulate heat..
You don't need to add any solder to reinstall.. there is some little dabs of solder on the board that should be enough.
Was for me.

HI! Is there a way for me to get a sub pcba with charging port board? The website bluphoneparts has not been working for a long time. And I have searched on amazon and ebay with no luck.
