My phone got really hot and shut off one day for about 12 hours. It finally came on and was hot again. Ever since then my phone will not get any bars and usually it is roaming in non-roaming areas.
I have took it back into bluegrass cellular and they shipped it off to htc for warranty. Got it back and when i went in, they told me it was water damaged and will not cover it.
It has never been in water. I took it apart and it was not water damaged. So I have it apart and it does not appear to be water damaged. So I tried cleaning the contacts and it is still doing the same thing. I tried extending the connectors to the antenna. But that did not fix it.
So my questions are:
1. Is there anyway to fight HTC in saying its not water damaged.
2. Is there anyway to fix this? any ideas?

as this is a surely hardware problem, are there any other solutions than:
a. buy a new LCD screen (hard to find)
b. buy a new phone
thanks for the help guys
bump..........
Sorry
Since it is a hardware problem, I can't think of any other solution besides purchasing another LCD/phone. I'm sorry.
That said, I have put my defy underwater many times. The touch screen stop working when wet, but I had no issues with it once it dried. Maybe the problem was from the impact?
Anyone know where the location of the wifi antenna location is on the Glide?
Dropped my phone a while ago and the only damage seemed to be to wifi, now I have to stand 2ft away from the router to get -70db to -80db. I assume the antenna came loose but I've checked damn near every connector and have had no results.
I can inlcude some pictures of the insides if necessary.
Hopefully this might help -

So I had my lg g3 started flickering suddenly, I didn't know what to do. this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9SqLlDOU1E
After a little research I found this solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y12XCmAYTbw
I tried it and it worked fine for now(a week passed).
but since i have done the paper thing, my wifi signal is very low, even when my router I very close to me.
Any knows how to fix it? maybe change the placment of the paper?
Thanks.
Put a piece of folded paper between processor and body. Make sure paper push the processor and the size of folded paper nearly same as processor, so pressure on full processor not only at one point and put a small piece of folded paper on camera connector. May be it will solve your problem. Good Luck [emoji106]

I have a Note 2014 without a customer rom. It did run fine without problems. Suddenly I had a pink background color out of nowhere. Then I tried to restart. I can see the first Samsung text during start and then it becomes black. I can repeat this but apart from Samsung starting text nothing happens...
after a while it started but the colors are still strange... what can this be?

Hi there,
Don't worry. I am almost sure this is the ribbon of the LCD that moved. It is a common issue with this tablet. Mine was "broken" 3 weeks ago after 4 years of usage. The fix is freaking simple. It took me literally less than 10 minutes. Take the back off, and plug the LCD ribbon back in its connector and put some tape on it so it stays firmly in place. You have plenty of post on the internet showing how to fix in detail. I had no issue since then.
Cheers
Laurent

Thank you that helped
Yesterday my M8 battery died on me. while disassembling it today the end bit, not the actual battery got bent which has happened every single time I disassembly m8's, I tried swapping it out and swapping it with my other m8's battery and surprise surprise while disassembling that one the battery end got bent too, I have seen videos where people changing batteries had a slight bend or crease like my batteries, my question is it safe to use the battery.
I'll include pictures.
The red highlighted part is completely undamaged so is the slightly bent part however I don't want to start a fire and cannot afford to buy a new battery, until the end of February and need my phone working before the Monday 1st of Feb.
Please help.

As you can see the other side is completely flat and undamaged.
I tested it out on 3 HTC original batteries with similar creases, none overheated.
