Normally in that hole there is a little socket, I'm pretty sure it is for testing purpose and it is not used normally. So nothing to worries about

look in controlpanel -> find device manager and see what it calls the phone when it is connected.
is screen always totally black after you have cleaned it and it was not black before you cleaned it ? if you took phone apart, something is not sitting correctly for sure. that should not be able to brick phone that way

well i tried dismembering it again an reattaching everything again to no avail. BLACK SCREEN.. i took a photo of the phone before doing any soft updates to it and i noticed now it said it was s-on, now i am a hd2 user and at that moment didn't realize.. so is it possible that it is bricked because it got flashed with a rom on a s-on mode? cause any other thing is that testing point that i am missing that was strangely connected with a small wire in the middle but it worked with that so... any repairman around or something like that ...help..please

Htc incredible battery?

I bought this phone 2 days ago and the battery just died on me, the thing is that I charged it full and when it hits around 70% my whole phone shuts down and would not start up again. So I recharged it, and got it full and then it shuts down on me again around that same battery percentage. Can anyone tell me the problem or help me out here? I'm out of ideas. D =
Try going to your settings and checking your power options..
Settings / power / then look at your power saver it might be set to whatever level it keeps shutting down at . If this does not work let me know I have a couple other ideas but let's knock off the simple ones first

Its unconfirmed that's its a battery issue and seems very strange that a company can sell a product with no warranty.
Do a factory reset and if that doesn't fix it, physically go into the store and get refund/exchange.
It seems odd that the phone would do that it seems more like a software issue as you are getting a charge imo if it was a battery.hardware.issue it would not hold a charge at all. U can try and return it if you have a warrinty that permits you to return it it would be a easy fix. But if you have no warrinty I would say try flasshing a new Rom see what happens
Sent from my HTC Incredible S
agree, you'd butter return it and have a totally test
There are some batteries which comes faulted & it will never be good using anything. Buddy the phone is new just take the phone to the service centre they'll replace the battery. Plz do not take any chance on ur new & expensive device. Happened with me the same thing when I bought a HTC wildfire long back.

Haven't heard of this particular problem but my girlfriend bought two HTC incredible S's last summer ( one for her one for her friend / roommate). Nothing went wrong with hers but her friends had a problem where it was getting real hot and the battery actually started melting so to speak. It caused the phone to form itsself into an arc shape where if laid down on a flat surface you could stack about two or three credit cards and slide it right underneath (I wont get into how clueless you have to be to not notice your phone get this hot). We sent it in for repairs ( with virgin) they determined it was a battery issue and will not cover it with warranty . Fixed the phone and it happened again within a week. Don't even get me started on bell/ virgin policies regarding warranty repairs...

[Q] My touchscreen is unresponsive

Hello guys the last week while i was using my phone scrolling in app drawer i realized that the touchscreen was not so responsive especially in the mid of the touchscreen.I tried to install another rom than gdxv020 i was using but the same , tried to draw something in paint but it seems there are 2 big lines in the mid that cannot be painted.I think its hardware problem.Does any of you had the same problem with me and can a suggest a solution for my problem?Did the touchscreen "died" and need to be replaced?Thank you , i am waiting for your replies..
PS: My digitizer was cypress and i was using Darkfrmr's fix for hard to pull up status bar so i dont think the problem is because something is wrong with ax8mt.ko.
i don't know whats the problem, but first i would repair the phone with SEUS, see if its helps, before i'd take the phone to the service

Take it to the Sony service center before you do anything else to your lovely phone
'cos it appears that it is a hardware problem with u...
Thank you both for your replies.I went on Friday to a local sony service center and they told me that the touchscreen had the problem and need to be changed , the bad is that the warranty expired and now i have to pay the whole amount.The cost is about at 60E for a genuine new digitizer including the cost for the installation.I think it doesnt worth so much money because the whole phone costs that much so i will decide in the week what i am going to do with the phone..Selling it for parts to buy a new one or fix it.
Hope you'll get a cypress phone

Guys i have good news! I decided today to dissasemble it and give it a try to fix it.The only things i used was a hairdryer to heat the digitizer not more than 20 seconds and then i used a plastic tool and started pushing for a couple of minutes all the edges around(Check the photo bellow).VOILA!!.When i put the parts back together i was able to unlock the lockscreen finally plus i saved 60E ! If any of you guys facing a problem with the touchscreen and you had check that is not rom's or module's problem and your warranty expired give it a try..I am so excited that my X8 is back!

Thank you!
You started a (q) thread and we thank for it , but its nice, thanks.
Just be aware with the hair dryer!
My old k660i felt off of the washing machine, when it started washing and landed in a bath of water, it was working, but the screen wasn't showing anything, then i turned on hairdryer, used it like for 5 minutes from 0,5 metres distance, and the chips inside it, are overheated and died
So be aware
First thanks for me by: fotak-x and stamatis 16, thanks for it

Sister smashed phone on rocky beach

Hello guys.
Since my sister smashed my phone roughly 9 days ago on a rocky beach ->

It felt on the screen and then went back up in the air for about 30cm +/- and went on its back wich gave small dots on the plastic cover.
The screen itself survived (The screen is though as hell! , she smashed it hard!)
Now my phone is stuck a lot, and sometimes the picture (projectable screen) moves over the screen (fisical one) like if it doesnt know its place.
Now i contacted samsung wich says i had to go to http://site.e-care.nl/nl/pages/home to let it be picked up.
But no respond for a long time.
And Samsung keeps pushing to make a date for them to pick it up.
Does anybody know here if my phone is broken on the internals?
Or might it be something else?
And anybody know what to do with samsung?
I do have an insurance, but does it have to go that far?
Also for all customers.
This phone is a though rock. No other phone would have survived this at all. Maby an old Nokia :good:
Greetings
Mitch
I'd deffo say that's a hardware issue for the service centre to look at, not that i think it'll make the slightest difference, but have you tried taking the battery out and sticking it back in?

It pops up now and then, did not had a chance to make a picture yet.
But see it like this.
You have an tv, and it projects a screen.
That screen goes from the top to down and back to the top and down and back to the top again.
Just like some roadcommercial signs.
Its rolling through the screen.
Or it shows pink/magenta/green screen instead of all colours.

First why would your sister smash a 500 usd phone that doesn't belong to her...
Second your internals might be broken..
Third why don't you have a case
Forth if your sister does not have money and you don't have insurance make your parents to pay either for a replacement or a full repair including new housing..
That's what I'd do

She turned around at wanted to hit me, but instead she slammed the phone with mach 3.
My case was off because i was in the hot sun and my phone was already overheating thanks to ICS 4.0.4... Did not want it to burn away.
And that site wich Samsung provided doesnt respond at all...
Samsung keeps hammering i must contact them to let my phone be picked up.
Jeeeez, Sony mark 2?

Interesting you should mention this. I've seen a similar issue, but only when running a single app called "Bubbles". When the game starts the screen shows up for a second like below, and the game itself runs very slowly. I think something about the graphics doesn't like the One. Have you installed anything that might interfere with the graphics?
I would hard reset the phone before sending it back.

no.i dont have that app installed. besides i was watching youtube video on the phone when it happened.
if you watch closely,you can reaslize, in my pic ,the way the black part it has in the screen is different from the black in your pic, mine is more like "unevenly" pixel broken,as its not a regular rectangular shape like your "black".
i did hard reset.
its totally gone.
thanks for your concern.

Phone won't go into fastboot mode!

My m7 won't boot into fastboot, when holding volume down and power I get the HTC logo and a blackscreen, any help would be appreciated.
Solution: Forgot to screw in one screw thanks to the tape, screwed it in and worked. This issue is caused by a hardware problem.

Really appreciate the speedy reply, uploading a video to youtube to show what happens. Phone has unlocked bootloader and S-OFF. This happened after a screen replacement, and I hadn't reapplied this black cover for the volume which could be why I can't get into fastboot (volume button might not work even though I can feel and hear it clicking) like this

Ok so its not what I thought, looks like its bootlooping and the volume button isn't working. Are you sure everything is reassembled correctly?

Would the phone power on by just holding the volume down button?

that makes sense now
Don't know if you'll be able to repair this, it worth a try for sure. Otherwise you'll have to replace the daughter board, you can find one for 20-25$ on ebay.

You should know by now that nothing is impossible. Hoping it works will update in 10-15 minutes :fingers-crossed:
No good the cable is WAY too small for me to solder all 4 traces without jointing them.
