Hardware Issues Thread

Does anyone else have some phone hardware issues?
My power button works only if you press the back of it and my USB port randomly disconnects from PC mounting. I don't understand how this phone is supposed to last 2 years. I've had mine for 9 1/2 months and it already has some problems.

Yeah I'll be possibly replacing my power button soon. For as great a phone as this is it does have some major hardware issues..
I think Verizon must pay HTC less than the other major stores..
The Eris had a bad trackball but the hero worked great..
Never had the Inc so I can't speak for it..
This phone has the bad charge port and power button but the evo, evo 3d, etc all seem really solid..I think the Inc s even has less complaints.
Idk though.

Yeah, this is probably my last HTC device for a while though as my next one will be the Galaxy Nexus or the S3 depending on release date specs, etc.

I know this is not completely on topic, as it was a software problem, but my phone lost the ability to receive texts whenever I flashed anything. Apparently it was a problem with the code and I found a hot fix from the Inc to fix it.
I don't think we should be running into code problems from a year ago still.

If the galaxy nexus runs anything like the nexus s 4g from sprint I would avoid that phone, my fiance has one and I had to root it just to get it to work work better but it still has issues like slow to load web pages and not connecting to the market both over mobile network and wifi

1. You probably had a lemon.
2. Read a Gnexus review
3. Issues: battery life and signal
4. 4.0.4 fixes signal
5. AOKP with GLaDOS/lean kernel fixes battery
6. You now have a phone with no issues that runs with no lag.

My power button was broken the day I got it. I told the Verizon rep that I couldn't press the top button correctly (being left handed doesn't make it any better). He said it was fine so I just believed him. I got a silicon case with a "button replacement" for the power button. It would push the button in. I can't live without the case. It takes me forever to lock the phone without the case.

USB mode
When i connect my usb to pc it doesnot show the diskdrive in my computer...i did check in settings and selected DISK DRIVE option but it does not show the drive in my pc...but my phone charges on connecting it to pc...i am all confused what to do....

knock on wood ive never had an issue with the htc phones ive owned...my inc2 has been rock solid since i got it last july, and my og inc is still chugging along (now being used by my parents) 2 years later
my wife's tbolt has been fine hardware-wise, just the general terrible battery life associated with first gen lte devices
my other experiences with non htc are mixed: my first fascinate lasted from october 2010 until last june when the speaker gave out (inc2 was actually a warranty replacement for it), but the 2nd one i had (donation) was pretty solid and is also currently being used by my parents (not sure which one uses the og inc and which uses the fascinate)
when i had a droid x, it was ok on the hw front...but generally speaking moto is ok with that...its the software issues that kill you

Depending on what Rom you are using you may have to unselect the ask me every time option.

I recall people having power button issues a few months after the phone came out and some of them returning it because of it. I mainly saw it on another forum but occasionally it popped up here.
I've had the USB issue be weird but only on my Mac, when I use the phone on a Windows desktop it's been fine with USB.
I got this the day it released and have been more than happy with it but I may jump ship to the Inc. 4g LTE or the rumored device for fall. I don't want to jump ship but I feel like this is going the way of the Eris. Promised an update to 2.1 for "Q1" only to have it come out much much later. I like the phone a lot but I'm left wanting a bit more.

DINC2 Issues
Amphibliam, in my experience with the DINC2, the random USB disconnects are a pre-cursor to the micro-USB port failing completely. I had to get my phone replaced under warranty at 11 months due to this. No power button issues with either phone.
On a positive note, the new phone is much better. The old phone's display was pulled away from the glass on the left side and had been that way since day 1. The old phone would also FC voice input if the orientation of the phone was changed from landscape to portrait or vice-versa and would also not work when I had my bluetooth headset enabled (it works now with the headset enabled but I still have to talk into the phone's microphone).
I am now VERY careful with the charging port as I need this phone to last 12 more months. I have found on eBay where the charging port module can be purchased relatively cheaply and it really doesn't look too bad to replace since my warranty ends this month.

Here's a note on VZW's forums that describe the repair (briefly) -
https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/803023#803023
Just an update for those who don't have the warranty for some reason and don't mind DIY repair...
New USB port pcb board was $16 on ebay. Replacement requires a star tip screwdriver and involves removing about 10 screws and disconnecting a couple of small flex cables. No soldering required. It was not hard, but it's always better to let somebody experienced do the repair

[Q] Replacement Phone Questions

My Battery port on my phone seems to be messed up. The orange light is on to show a charge but it looks like it isn't gaining any juice.
Weird because last night it was charging fine, so I'm not sure what the deal is.
Anyway, I'm wondering how the whole process to try and get a replacement phone works. I have been looking to purchase a new phone anyway, and this is just giving me a better reason to get one.
If anyone has gone through this process before can you please share what you did?
I more or less want to know if I am about to get raped by Big Red or if I am going to need to buy a brand new phone outright.

I am wondering if the script I installed to improve battery life is causing this issue. I actually turned my phone off to see if it would charge up and it is, just EXTREMELY slow.
I am just speculating right now and trying to narrow down the issue. I know charge ports are an issue for this phone, I am just hoping I don't need to go that route.

Try a different charger. Yours may have went bad.
As far as the exchange, do you have insurance? If not how long have you had your phone and where did you buy it? Also did you buy it new or refurb?

I have tried multiple chargers and get the same result. Sometimes it will charge, but most times not.
I have no insurance on in, and it is under a year old. I bought it brand new.

Of it is under a year old then just call Verizon. Tell them your phone won't take charge. They will replace it for free with a manufacture refurbished incredible 2.

I just replaced my phone (it was under one year as well) by calling verizon and telling them it wouldn't charge ... it's a known problem w/ our phones. They replaced it for free (as long as you return your old phone w/in 5 business days). i unrooted and put my phone to s-on again before i returned it. good luck!

My painfully embarassing NOOB mistake. and an awesome discovery

I would by no means consider myself a NOOB, as no one ever wants to be a newb. Although i have bricked and burned up a few devices. I have been a member of XDA for some quite some time. I started with an HTC HD2, i was dual booting windows phone 7 and gingerbread. UltimateDroid, to this day is and was still my favorite ROM of all time. Still wonder what happened to that guy. I ended up burning up that phone so much so that it would lock up and i would have to put it in the freezer for 10 minutes before putting the battery back in and turning it on. From there i graduated to an HTC sensation. Phone was awesome, i was running an early version of the InsertCoin rom, until i was on skype and dropped the phone. For some reason upon dropping the phone, it never turned on again. I then had a samsung galaxy captivate and was dissatisfied to find out i could only get 2g on tmobile based on the antenna in the phone not being able to recieve tmo's 3g signal. From there i went on to an LG G2x, what a great phone. I was using the Tsugi Rom with the oyusame overclocked, stock voltage kernel. I got kind of sick of the phone because i had flashed every new rom that came out and it just started to get redundant for me, that was when i got my Galaxy S2 Hercules. I love this phone but alas, in my continued need to root and flash the crap out of my phone with all XDA's latest and greatest goodies, i flashed a rom that didnt boot. (This was most certainly my fault for NOT THOUROUGHLY READING THE INSTRUCTIONS) so in discovering this with only a few minutes to spare before work, i opened up odin before work and grabbed what i thought was clockwork recovery and flashed it. This was not clockwork recovery and upon and flashing i recieved what every modder on here is terrifed of. QHSUSB_DLOAD followed by that god awful windows device driver error noise. Pissed off driving to work with no phone, i immediately ordered a USB jig off amazon for $3.50 cents plus an addition $35.00 to overnight ship it to my house. So impulsive to fix my phone, i even stopped at radio shack and bought myself a pack of 100k ohm resistors to try and make the part myself. Several broken usb cables, and my kitchen table looking like a tweekers wet dream later i had no resolution. I woke up the next morning tracking my usb jig every half hour and was very excited to recieve it, goign as far as to tell my wife that i would no longer be going to get her coffee or visiting her parents as I would be pre-occupied with my phone for a while. Murphy's law however saw otherwise as this did not fix my issue either. I of course knew that if i called T-Mo the insurance would not cover this. So i started calling local cellphone repair shops. After about the fifth place i called, i realized that most of those people are lightyears behind whats happening on here and found that when i tried to talk tech they would sit there and scratch their heads. Out of options, I called the 800 number for samsung on the label underneath the battery. I very openly and honestly explained to the lady that i had rooted my phone, installed a custom recovery and was flashing custom roms. I then explained something went terribly wrong and the phone does not respond at all. I also explained the QHSUSB_DLOAD problem. I believe this explanation went a little beyond they types of calls she was used to recieving. She did however explain that Samsung provides complimentry re-flashes of bricked phones as long as there is no hardware damage done to the device. She then e-mailed me a ups label with shipping paid , and my phone is in the process of being repaired. I did buy yet another HTC sensation to get me by for the 2 business day shipping to samsung, the 7 business day evaluation and repair process, and another 2 days for me to get it back. I hope this can help anyone who has made the same mistake, and moreso i hope this can show others how rushing, being careless, and not reading the instructions can come with HEAVY consequences. Although all should work for me just fine, i still had to spend $150 on a used sensation with a cracked screen, and the nearly 2 weeks of downtime i am without my GS2.

I've been on xda for quite some time now, and i know for a fact that people have gotten their phones replaced through standard warranty when they got that error, the old "it stopped working and won't turn on" has worked for some. If you cannot revive it chances are that no one at samsung can, i don't think they even bother, they just open it and reflash the phone.

Yeah most people went through regular warranty exchanges, but from what the OP was explaining he's a very honest person and would have said that he rooted the phone therefore he would not be able to exchange it.
That's good that he's honest, but it would have been a lot easier to just do that and get the phone next day because TMobile is just going to send that phone back to Samsung and they'll do the exact same thing they're doing to his phone now

My very first device was the Mytouch 3G on T-Mobile. Back then, it was maybe the 2nd Android phone to have even existed at that point.
Me, never being satisfied with anything stock and coming from a heavily modified blackberry, wanted to tweak the hell out of it.
Back then, it took a LOT more to root and flash, ESPECIALLY HTC Devices. There were no custom tools yet to root, and the only easy part was using CWM. You HAD to use adb commands to exploit to get root and even get CWM on the device at that point, but only AFTER downgrading it back to Android 1.5, but after that it was easy.
(I couldn't believe how fast and easy it was to root and flash on the T989 after having HTC devices up until last year)
Anyways, I somehow managed to get it CWM to boot (you had to boot into normal recovery after replacing update.zip with a CWM zip, and then flash the new update.zip file back then) and went to flash a ROM, and instead I flashed a zip, but the wrong ROM was uploaded by the OP, and what I had flashed as for the G1. It was literally only uploaded for all of maybe 2 minutes before he pulled the post down and uploaded the correct version.
I was the ONLY one who downloaded and flashed it within that 2 minute window.
Needless to say, I hated my life.
Now the funny part:
I was so paranoid back then about not letting T-Mobile know that I was rooted, that I literally bought a BRAND NEW Mytouch 3G (because you couldn't even find broken ones on ebay yet) and sold the broken one, which I bought the day before mind you, for $20. I wish I would have known that, back then, there were no counters on the MT3G. T-Mobile would have never known as it wouldn't boot.
:crying:
Flash forward to today, and IDGAF.

My phone stopped charging. What are my option?

Hello all,
About a week ago my nexus stopped charging all of a sudden and then the charging indicator started to show up while the phone is not plugged. I researched the problem and I found out it's actually a hardware issue and a lot of people have it.
My problem is that I bought my phone from Abu Dhabi and it doesn't have warranty. Now, I am back for college (in the States) and my phone is now dead. I am not sure what to do!? I know that Samsung USA doesn't fix GSM Nexus phones since I called them once.
Any thoughts? should I contact Google? Is there any trusted place that I can send my phone to for repair?

That sucks with out warranty or Insurance thru your carrier your pretty much screwed...Go on EBay an get your self a new phone...

Doesn't google sell them? shouldn't they be able to fix it? I mean I wouldn't mind paying as long as it doesn't cost much. I already had to fix it once when my motherboard got fried and had to pay friggin' $272!!!

Come on guys use your brains, you bought a phone with removal battery for a reason. I'll make this easy for you
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-GT-i9250-Compatible-International-GT-i9250/dp/B006N9OZ8U/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_1_1
just buy this, charge a battery, then you never need a charger again, unless you need to copy files, then your screwed
This is honestly the cheapest alternative to your problem, but if you really need a working usb, then go on craiglist or ebay.

Lol, maybe I didn't make myself clear when I said hardware issue. I do use my brain sir, but what I meant is that the charging port is not working properly. If it was only a charger issue then I would've bought a charger but it's not.

charging port as in usb right? usb that's part of the phone? Your battery is dead right? I'm saying charge your battery externally without the phone. I'm sorry am I just not understanding? I'm just giving advice to turn your phone on lol not fix it.

You are correct. It is possible to take the battery out of the phone and place that battery onto an adapter on a wall socket. Never even touching the USB port on the phone.

The problem is that my computer doesn't recognize my phone cause of the usb port damage. Even when my phone is off and I put in my battery without having the phone plugged it shows on screen that my phone is "charging".

So you're interested in fixing the problem and not simply having a phone that turns on? I understand, I didn't mean to be mocking either, just joking . Well in this case, you will have to buy a whole new phone sir, as far as I know. Sorry I could not assist

Isn't there any private company/website in this bigass country and could repair my phone?! lol.

Considering that Google sells unlocked GSM units to Americans, I'm surprised to hear Samsung won't fix them.
Where in the States are you? Many big cities have a number of small shops where mainly Asian imported cell phones are sold, and they'll sell unlocking and reflashing services, and they'll offer repairs for just about anything. If you're in a small college town that might be more difficult. Up here in Vancouver BC, when I accidentally jammed a microSD into the SIM slot of a Huawei tablet and couldn't get it out, I went to an Asian mall in the suburbs and got it fixed perfectly.
No intention to stereotype here btw - most of the leading mobile devices are manufactured in Asia, which means a lot of the bleeding edge devices get imported before they're released here, and a lot of shops appear to be run by people who have connections to the countries they're importing from.

That's how it goes sometimes

So I have always wanted a Galaxy Nexus and when I got it I was very happy.. I traded my Galaxy Tab 2 that I paid retail for when it first came out ($249.99). Its been a couple months or so. I dropped it two weeks ago on accident and cracked the screen. So I ordered a new one for $175 off of Amazon.
I fixed it and ended up breaking the volume wiring soldered connections. Be careful!
Last night I flashed CM 10.1 like I have a zillion times and it must have a kernel issue or something as I'm stuck at the Google boot screen now. This morning I ordered a jig from amazon so I can fix it.
No volume keys screws it up in more ways than one.
I am ordering a Nexus 4 this week from Google. I wouldn't if the volume wasn't messed up. I would of rather just kept my Galaxy Nexus as I really love it. Its every Samsung I've had all rolled into one with the best of Android, all the time, on time.
Screen brand new less than a week old and I cant use it. Wish I could buy another gnex that needs a screen. I'm very good with electronics and I really can't believe I messed the volume up. I really don't want to try to solder it myself. I don't have the proper pensil soldering iron anyway.
Thanks for reading. Figured this was fine in the General section being all about a GNex.
Anyone have this type of luck sometimes? Or is there no such thing as luck?
Of all the devices I've owned I've never broken a screen. My favorite phone of all of them gets the worst of me.

You paid 175 for a new screen and you wont use cuz the volume up button?
With a few bucks you send it to service and its fixed...

I might give them a call.
Need a phone. Can't wait a couple weeks for it to come back. I'm going to use it until the 4 comes and then sending it off would be a good option.
