Hey there,
I'm recently noticed strange clicky noises that occur when I apply some pressure above the magnetic charging port.
Should I be concerned about this? my phone is still in warranty so I'm thinking to send it to the lab. Although, when
I called them they said the have no idea what this could be nor have the seen anything like this before.
I always carry my phone in a case, started with a generic TPU, than bugdroid and finally DevilCase. Yes, the phone fell
a few times although I find it hard to see how can it get damaged there.

I tried to get my X1 repaired after finding some problems with antireflex coating of camera lenses. Problem is, that TMobile returned my phone without any repairs telling me that they found oxidation on the phone board next to USB connector. And they rejected any repairs under guarantee because of it. Its supposed to happen when you expose phone to moisture, like calling in rain or using phone when temperature is bellow freezing point.
I dont want to hide that I call in rain sometimes (who doesnt), but i cover phone with my hand so no water goes directly on it and of course i call in winter. It seemed to me that they wanted just to avoid guarantee repair, which is kinda disappointing...
Is there a question?
More like I'm looking for others with similar problem to find if there is some way how to force RMA service or if it is lost case...
I've just bought an used Diamond for $82. It looks great, there are only a couple very minor scratches on the display (fixable with a little Displex methinks), came with all the standard accessories plus a genuine HTC leather pouch.
Story is as follows: The owner bought it last week for $140, but noticed later that the G-sensor only works up and down. He took to "the only authorized HTC service center in Romania" and they said something about a broken foil and asked for over $150 to fix it, so he decides to sell it. He'd just picked it up from service today (the diagnosis itself cost him $5 so they didn't even give it back for free). He could've sold it for more, but lucky me.
So, i check it out, and accidentally drop it. It falls flat on its back. Okay, it isn't hurt, everything works, i pay the guy and leave with the phone. On the subway back home everything fine, but at home when i try to connect to wifi it won't start. I reboot the thing and i get the dreaded MicropError. Then the backlight decides only to work when it wants to.
I take the thing apart only to find the wireless cable had come out of its connector, and when i lift the mobo out the display cable also detaches easily. I plug the wireless back in, and notice that the display cable doesn't "click" when the board is mounted back in its place. Aha, so this must've been it. Great service center they have, they can't even click a connector in place.
I use a flat screwdriver to make sure the cable locks firmly in place, put a piece of paper under it to keep it from moving around again, and put the phone back together. Success. I haz working HTC.
It's true that a broken G-Sensor can't be fixed, right? Not that i care too much about it, i just want to know a yes/no type answer.
So, now the main question. I already noticed that the built-in speaker is crap, something typical of WinMo devices as far as i've seen. Now, the supplied headphones are also crap and it doesn't have a jack adapter either. Before i slice the handsfree and patch my Samsung in-ears onto it, i want to know if it sounds good on quality headphones. I don't need it loud as the Samsungs are plenty sensitive, but i need good bass. I have a Sony Ericsson w595 and it's got really powerful bass. I used to have a HP iPAQ rx4240, and it was loud, but it was miles behind the SE phone in sound quality and bass.
The main idea is that the HTC will replace one of my two phones - either the Nokia N93i or the SE w595. The N93i is held in one piece by superglue only and sometimes i need to restart it before it will accept a charge (and it's a PAIN opening Symbian menus for the first time after you restart it). The w595 i got as a gift this summer and is in pristine shape complete with protective foil applied to display. So i could easily sell it for what i paid for the HTC.
Hello all, I just replaced a broken LCD and digitizer on my HD7 with a unit bought from eBay. It's from a supplier that I've used very frequently, so I trust the component. When I got the phone back together, it will sometimes boot, sometimes not. It will also sometimes display just fine, and other times it looks like it's garbled, or just not display at all. The screen will be blank and not react. I'm pretty versed at repairing phones, I've probably done 30 for myself and friends, so I'm pretty good at reassembly. Is anyone familiar with this issue and can maybe give me some ideas? Cause I'm flat out of them.
The other thing is that when I start moving the phone around after reassembly, this is when I start experiencing troubles. I tried putting electrical tape in places under the mobo to keep from grounding something out, but it doesn't seem to help. Any ideas would be great.
Did you put on gloves when you were doing the replacement. Cause like you I have done alot of screen replacements on a wide range of phones and I would have to say that there are devices out there were if something got grounded out while you are doing the replacement it tends to start doing all kinds of goofy things once the phone is back together. I have found that by wearing "gloves that do not conduct electricity" the chances of something like that happening is gone. Ive only had two devices do weird and strange things like some of what you have said. These were some of my first repairs and after changing to putting gloves on I haven't had a problem since.
Hope that helps and also I am about to replace the screen on a HD7 that I just bought just wanting for the screen so, I will let you know what happens.
Thanks, probably good advice. I've been very lax about using grounding protection of any kind. I've seen those guys who use the "finger condoms" where the rest of their hand is open. Couldn't hurt to use a grounding strap too, pretty cheap and easy precaution. The other thing I noticed about the phone was the SD that came with it isn't recognized by any OS, so wondering if there wasn't something else wrong with the phone.
So, the screen on my Note 4X broke, and I wanted to replace it. Long story short, the battery is glued down hard as **** and I managed to damage it, and it burst into flames. I'm fine, I was prepared, nothing but the phone suffered any damage.
But now I'm sitting here, with a phone that's basically still fine minus the frame and the battery, and I still want to repair it.
I'm faced with two questions, first of all, I managed to find (I think) every part I need, but one eludes me. I don't even know what it's for. You can see it here (minute 9:11-9:27):

It says "C6_LEDFPC_V1.0" on mine. Google tells me nothing about that, and it's not a part I have seen on the repair shop sites. It doesn't even seem to be present on complete frame+display assemblies like this one:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/LCD...edmi-Note-4X-hongmi-Red-Rise/32810566637.html
And apart from that, I wonder if I missed any part.
I still have:
A new display+digitizer, the back cover, the mainboard with the SoC and the two cameras, the PCB with the charging board, the battery cable, the sim tray, the fingerprint reader, the loudspeaker.
I need:
A new frame, an earpiece, the mainboard flex cable, the side key flex cable, a battery, and the one mysterious piece.
Is that everything? Does everyone has a basic list of all the parts?

I've been thinking that in the video, the guy switched on the phone without that part. so that part shouldn't be a very major component. In my opinion, it can be some sort of sensor. I personally feel its a magnet screen sensor for covers with smart wake up function.
The reason I say this is because when i touch a small magnet on the entire front panel, It gets stuck on that same point.
However I am not very sure as the smart wake is not triggered. Maybe it is because I am on LineageOS.
Hope It turns out helpful.
You will probably need the vibrator motor too, its quite small and easy to lose as I've found.

That part is the LED for the capacitive buttons. Not important at all if you cant find it
Hey guys,
So I've personally owned this device before and sold it, however, luckily I was looking about on Craigslist and managed to run into a post where this lady was selling her Midnight 128gb OP3T for $10 due to the wifi not working. The phone is literally spanking new and the only thing I can think of is water damage. She said the wifi suddenly stopped working and spoke with OnePlus Tech support and wasn't going to pay $275 to fix it so she just wanted it gone. So I figured whats there to lose, right? I went home performed a factory reset on the phone and the wifi actually was working. Then I realized it's intermittently working. I found that out because after sometime it suddenly disables itself and I have to sleep the device for like two minutes and it'll kick back on. The proximity sensor is also dead too. I did the *#808# to test the sensor and nothing is generated. These are the only real issues this phone has. The loud speaker also sounds a bit off... I'm sure I could easily replace that too.. It could just be me. I've posted the snapshot of the proximity sensor test. The wifi was currently working when I took that snapshot and like I said it's a hit or miss.
I haven't gotten into the device just yet, however, I'm planning to check the water damage sticker once I do as that is my suspicion. I'm waiting on my tool set I ordered on Amazon at the moment. My question is, do you think replacing the wifi antenna cable will fix the wifi connectivity issue? The phone is currently on 8.0 Oreo and I haven't tried performing a complete reset/restore so I'm not sure that could be a fix. Also the phone doesn't get too hot and usually with water damaged devices the phone typically overheats pretty fast due to corrosion. I guess I'll find out after I open the device, but for now do you guys have any other suggestions? I've heard of the whole IPv6 intermittent wifi issues and can assure I have IPv6 disabled.
Thanks for taking the time to read my question!
The WIFI thing isn't something I think you can just replace, I think you would just need to replace the board right?
Yes, you would need to replace the mainboard of the phone. However 10$ is quite cheap for a spare screen and midnight black metal casing. Just find a cheap 3T with broken screen and switch mainboard with that one and you have a working phone. [emoji16]
Before doing that, check the phone's board and look for corrosion. If you find any, try cleaning it up gently, with some alcohol and if you manage to get it all cleaned up, try testing it again to see if it solves the problem.
If you get the schematic for this device and have a boardview program you could find the wifi circuitry..... it is more than likely some short to ground due to the fact that you are feeling heat.... due to liquid damage or not. Sometimes changing a small component can fix the issue but you need a microscope, heat gun, solder pencil, etc......
