hi
i have the xda2s, that has a fault, when the battery is taken out it will not switch on for a good few hours. the power button works fine as i can turn the backlight off fine when on. i have sent the phone off to the xda repair center, but they nust have overlooked it, and sent it back with the same fault. ive been trying to get through to o2 about getting the phone replaced, as i dont want to wait the week and a half for xda repair center to fix the phone. but o2 customer services dont whant to be of any help since i dont have an o2 sim contract. i dont see why i need one, as its there phone and its faulty and still in warrenty. im leaving on a buisness trip in the next week and will be out of the country for quiet some time. so i havent realy got time to sending letters to get things sorted.
any help would be appreciated
thanks

could be some really simple. Does a red light come on (top left) when you try and charge the unit. if so i had the same problem. i was charging the unit on a slight angle (so much for ergonomic desks) must have given it a bad connection. I'm sure you have already tried this but when i happens take the battery out for a min then give it a go.
your right about the red light, ive just placed an order fot the xda 2s cradle,do you think that would solve the problem
when i take the battery out it takes a good few hours to switch back on, is the phone now broken at the bottom, or is it just simply a case of not useing the usb cable charger again, would that solve the problem.
i had a suspecion that it could be the charger because my xda 2s with a broken screen developed the same recently aswell.
i realy hope this isnt permanent and if it is, hope its covered under warrenty
thanks for your help

ok looks like te problem was just the clip. its cracked on the side, so that not all the clip moves when you lock the battery in place. as the clip also has the power of turning the phone off, most probebly to stop a short circuit, it seems that the half that dosent move is stuck in the off postition. this can move by applying a little presure. does anyone know a way of fixing the clip or possibley getting a new one from somewere. or could it be covered under warrenty, can you think of an excuse were it could be.
thanks for all your help

A few days ago, i put my phone in my bag and went for school, after school ended, i took out my phone and tried to turn it on, i did not see the typical htc splash screen but a blank black screen, a few seconds later, lines began to form, i tried pulling out the battery numerous times and turning it on. But it didnt work, is there something wrong with my LCD screen? I like to use my physical keyboard alot, i noticed theres a tape wire connecting the phone and the screen, is it due to wear and tear that that tape wire is broken?
Im running CM7 with EliteMod kernel
I have attached some pics of what my phone looks like now
Any chance you can provide higher quality photos? To make you feel a little better, I'm 99% sure the LCD isn't cracked. It could be the flex cable as you said.
Sorry, my x10 takes blurry photos... when I open the phone halfway, the cable shows signs of wear and tear

It's most likely the flex cable, and it's not too difficult to replace it. You just need patience and time.
If I send it back to htc, how much will the repair cost be?
When I boot and type adb devices, it doesn't recognize the device. My computer also don't recognise it as a phone.
When I pull out the battery and plug it in, adb recognize the device, but in recovery mode.
I am able to get to bootloader as well.
Do you still think its the flex cable's problem?
Hello,
My phone suddenly stopped charging yesterday night. There is no physical or water damage to the handset. USB on the computer wont detect it and it wont even charge. I have tried changing roms too but it wont get detected. I bought the device from newegg and i have a warranty for replacement till jan 31st but now since usb is not being detected i cannot flash stock rom via odin. I tried googling for methods to flash stock rom without using usb cable but there is nothing that i can find. Please can anyone help me on this ?
Thank you
You might have tried but just to be sure.have you tried using a different usb cable?

Yes I tried with 3 different USB cables. It just started charging but the red led is sometime dark red and sometimes kinda weak. It seems to me like the port has shorted. There was a crazy snow storm here yesterday and so it water vapor might be shorting the port. I just wanna get back to stock rom.
Please help someone help me.. I've even tried discharging the capacitors by removing the battery and pressing the power button for a min or two.
Thank you
What about mobile odin? It shoukd allow you to install the stock rom through your sd card.

I have the rom ALJ3 on my sd card and when i go to odin by pressing the volume down+home+ power i cant see the rom there. It just says downloading. O dont know if i am doing something wrong here
Solved
Since I suspected it to be water vapor I heated my phone over the gas stove(held it in my hand leaving some distance between the stove and the phone) once it became hot the water vapor must have evaporated and my phone started charging and got connected to the computer as well.
Guess the snow storm was the culprit. I reverted back to stock rom successfully as well.
Thank you every one for your inputs.
Im glad it worked out for you. I know this wouldnt be fair thing to do but if you get the chance id suggest you return or exchange it as im sure some damage is already done and it will probably reappear again in the near future. Good luck.

I definitely want to get it replaced but I do not think they will coz now there does not seem to be a problem with it. Il wait for a day or two,if the problem still persists then I will definitely get it replaced
Hi there?
Did the problem re-apear with you? cause i have the exact symptoms but without snow or something, i was just using it when suddenly the application frozen, so i put it on the charger and it wouldn't charge, tried on USB, nothing, tried to remove the battery, sim and memory card, still nothing, tried to press the power button while the battery is removed, nothing.
Any suggestions?
Is there a red faint led sensor on top when u try to power it on ?

Just encountered this problem two days ago and I am confused why this happened.
My N7100 wont charge and could not be detected in my desktop/laptop.
In my case, I charged my phone since it was below 20%.
When I plug it in, the symbol indicated it was charging.
An hour later, when I checked my phone, it wasn't charging at all.
Even the charging indicator was off, and the battery symbol has no "lightning".
I tried different chargers, wall outlet, even in the computer.
Still no luck.
I did a factory reset, thinking it was a ROM issue, still nothing.
Any help/suggestions/recommendations is highly welcome.
Did anybody solve this issue, It is happening to mine... No dropping, accidents or moisture...
i'm also having this issue. tried several different chargers, light says charging, in settings under battery it says charging but it's not. i'm just losing more power. tried charging with phone off and same thing. tried cleaning port,nothing. i don't know if the battery is just shot or i need the usb port replaced.
Literally just started for me right now, and I bought the phone off Swappa like a month ago...The USB flex is $20 and easy to replace, but I want to know if there's an actual fix. No soldering required.
EDIT: Just plugged it into my Samsung charger and it started work again randomly... Doesn't work with the dollar store cable I was using though. Could be that the cable went bad?
Same here for a week
It started a week ago when I tried a $5 dollar cable/charger from eBay. Now I tried a dozen cable all of them work with another phone. It was random not charging one day, charging the other day. But since yesterday, fails to work completely, and battery fully drained.
Yesterday evening I tried a charger/cable from a friend and it seemed to work, so i'll try again today and provide an update later.
U have encountered the issue before. Brought it to the service Centre for repair. When I got it back from the Centre, they told me that the sub motherboard was faulty. Hope this helps.

You're probably joking about being easy, it's very simple but not easy as shown on this video. And without appropriate tool, it's just heading for trouble.
Anyway I searched for the replacement part and the screw driver, it's about 60$, delivery in Europe included, couldn't find the part except in the US. The USB charger is $16, shipping $30, plus the screw driver 11€+5€ local.
However couldn't find the "whatever the name is of this blue flat stuff" to remove the display. Anyone knows how it's named?

It's a prying tool. They're cheap on eBay also. They're just plastic. You can use your fingernails if they're long enough.
Also I wasn't joking. It's a regular philips screwdriver (cross, but very small). It's the same one used to open the iPhone 4/4S (confirmed by me). After you take out the 6 or so screws from under the battery cover, you just run the prying tool through the gap along the display, and lift the midsection off. With the board exposed, unscrew the piece of plastic covering the USB flex and take it off. Then just pop off the flex cable and pop the new one in. Do everything backwards and there you go.
If you look for a kit to open the iPhone 4/4S, you'll get the screwdriver and plastic prying tool. I don't know where you're located but the part cost me $18 shipped. However for me it was a waste of time because the Note 2 I bought from eBay had its IMEI blacklisted, among other issues. So I returned it.

Thanks for the prying tool name, found a kit in the US for $12 including shipping and $2 in Hong-Kong
Searched again for the charger port, and found it in the EU for $15 and $8 in Hong-Kong
The procedure is very simple, but not easy, requires to be very gentle and patient (as the video shows), not sure I have both. Including my bad sight, it's going to be tough, but there won't be a local repair shop to top that pricing!
EDIT: They had to change the IMEI instead, couldn't they actually whitelist it?
Hi friends, from last week am facing a display issue in my desire z mobile. The display changes the colors when ever i unmask the KB or sometimes even when it masked... when i googled for this problem i came to know that the ribbon cable is loose. so i decided to open the mobile and reconnect the cable. I did everything perfectly, but when i repaired and turned on the mobile , the screen is black.. only after rebooting (by hearing the welcome tone) my menu keys start lighting and by pressing the power key my screen turns on. Even i cant see the boot loader page ..
I think this could be a software issue, but i dont know how operating with the hardware can mess up the software
Friends please guide me
Something is up with the ribbon cable either it came loose again when u were putting back together or its broken.
I actually fixed mine today, it was wearing through the black outer part and was making the screen jump during scrolling and long pressing when only tapping.
I fixed it with a small piece of electrical tape placed over the exposed part. I guess it grounds out once it becomes exposed.
U only have to remove the mother board from the phone to really see most of it.
What exactly did u do? Is there an exposed part of the ribbon from wear and tear?

U should get a q tip with some rubbing alcohol and clean up the connection and blow on the connection to make sure there is nothing there. Just take our time when u do it u don't wanna mess anything up

sorry i cant get your way of cleaning the connectors. could you please elaborate me the cleaning process? Then bro, still i dont know why i was not able to see the bootloader screen and the bootup animation... but after booting up mobile works fine... so confused
Sorry use a cotton swap dipped in the alcohol to clean the connector on the cable and mother board.
Does the phone have a custom recovery? If so what happens when u boot into it?

no it doesnt have any custom recovery. first i come across the screen colour fault, so i rerooted my phone to claim warranty, but unfortunatly i was not able to claim the warranty. so i felt to open the mobile myself and tight the ribbon. After attempting this repair now new problem araised ie i cant even see the bootloader page and boot animation.. but the phone is working fine..
whenever i turn on the mobile the black screen remains , then i will here boot tone then my soft key lights will lighten, then i will press power butto, then my lock screen will pop up. this is my situation.
Dont know what to do
First let me try your cleaning option, but could you advice me something other than the alcohol ?
Alcohol is the best cuz its sterilizes and dries fast. U don't need to soak it just to get the cotton swab wet and shake off excess and dab it on the connections. If u rub it might get cotton stuck. U could also use a keyboard dust blaster or some kind of compressed air to blast away any particles.
The main thing is to make sure u connectors are down all the way and not to have any tension while putting it back together.
If u separate both halves of the phone make sure u connect to the back of the motherboard after u have tightened down the brackets that keep the two pieces together.
Are u trying to avoid having to remove the sticker while loosening the motherboard?

Now the problem getting worse.. after a cleanup with a cotton bud, my touch sensitive fails to work.

* cant see the bootloader and boot animation

dont know what to do. Its just a 3 month mobile, cant lose it
Ur doing something wrong all ur problems has to do with the cable. That cable connects the screen to the motherboard
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
I think the proper response is replace the flex cable, they do go bad and for the most part I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong. Technology fails from time to time, about 20$ or so and relatively easy to replace

yes i think i have to replace the cable, but now i think i damaged the digitizer too..so i have to change both the ribbon cable and digitizer.
but i dont know why i cant see the bootloader and the boot animation.
thats my main problem now..
as i want to root my mobile again i need the bootloader page, guys please help me on this
then anyone having a desire z for sales?? (2nd hand sales ?)
I would probably just replace the ribbon cable before doing anything else digitizer is tied into the ribbon cable as well.

I too had the same issue.. I think the HDR option is not working in that ROM, so you better turn off the HDR.
I apologize for my english, i'm french..
I've the same problem. After a 1 meter-fall, it fell to the ground flat. Since, it doesn't work.
When i press the power button, the phone seems to start : vibration, and the sensitives touchs light. But i can't see anything on the screen, it stay black...
Do you think it can be the LCD screen to repair or the ribon cable ? If it was the ribbon cable, the sensitves touchs didn't turn on, don't you think ?
Thanks for your help, and again i'm sorry for my basic english..!

We cant guess it without testing. In my case i first faced problems regarding ribbon cable and slowly the prob builds up and now my screen is full back. But in your case it is most likely to be the lcd part.
So, better you make a test about it by swapping it into another phone or so..
then one more thing, even if the ribbon cable fails some part of it may work like sensitive light and touch..
I had the same problem. Just get the cable replaced.
ok so... the store broke my lcd while they were trying to remove the digitizer... and now i am looking at ebay on which lcd+touch assemlby to buy and i have a question. are the sony, acer and sharp lcd versions compatible with all one x mobos? i did some research and found that the sony version is the best (so they say)

Hi,
The Sony and Sharp are not compatible with each other( I've tried to replace one with the other), I've never come across the Acer LCD in Australia so I'm not sure. If you don't know how to tell the Sharp and Sony apart, the Sharp has Green backing on the flex cable, while the Sony is sort of orange with a few yellowish stripeson the back of the LCD flex cable. Sorry I couldn't find any of my photos which show the difference. I would recommend buying the LCD/digitizer combo and a separate midframe to mount it on, as it comes with new 3M adhesive, but you may also have to add a few TINY drops of instant adhesive, I say tiny as too much will press out under the digitizer and will show up, but I have found that without it the digitizer will lift from the frame eventually due to the tight fit of the frame in the rear shell of the HOX.
Hope you go ok!

Sorry, just a bit of additional info, have also come across posts saying the colours of the LCD look washed out with the wrong LCD.

That's the only downside - having to pull phone apart to check which one you have. Also another tip, phone need to be on to change LCD's, boot phone up with it apart, then wake up with power button on old screen, then sleep with power button, change screens then wake up again. There are plenty of vids on youtube to help, if new screen doesn't activate, check flex cable is in square and all the way - have had this problem before also.

I replaced my screen, but I powered down when removing the screen, and putting the replacement in. Now neither will light up. How do you solve this?
There are no guarantees with this, but try pulling the battery out for a minute or two. then with the original screen in, boot up and let it get to the lock screen wait for the screen to sleep then press power button to wake up then again to sleep. when the screen is sleeping try changing over the screens and then press power button to wake again. this is assuming that the screen displays on startup, but even if it doesn't try this process anyway. if it doesn't work, try doing with the new screen back to the old screen after pulling the battery. I have only ever come across this once, but it wasn't from powering down during a screen change, but pulling the battery seemed to fix it.

I tried that, didn't work. I think I know the problem now. after searching on multiple forums, I think it's the 220 coil. A lot of people have had a similar issue, and they say they've solved it by replacing the coil. What I want to know is, how I managed to short the coil in the span of a few minutes, despite having used the same screen as the cracked one.
It is possible to do, although they can go for no reason, I recommend taking it somewhere to get coil replaced, it is a very fiddly job and you need to have a steady hand and the right tools (hot air gun) although my father managed to do one with a standard soldering iron, although it wasn't the best job. you risk damaging other components also if they blow off the mainboard (if you can find them), worst case scenario is the display ic has gone - that one will have to be done by a professional.
what a sh!t phone
we tried to repare it 2 years ago.
but failed.
so i just the pieces to gether wanted to see if i can fix it.
still not lcd just touchscreen (and now im not sure if i even have touchscreen lol maybe i broke that to now not sure
anyway sucks i have a brand new lcd touchscreen with frame we bought back then. and its even the right screen a green flex cable like the original one and still noting so i guess i broke the 220 chip thing how dont know. but not sure if i can replace it sucks it was a good phone
is there any help a easy fix? or do i really need to soldern that chip i cant sell the phone since there is personal data on it contacts and pictures (i guess dont remembrer)
It may still be replaceable, if it's been sitting for 2 headed is the phone taking a charge? It needs to be on to change the screen. If it is charging and booting up, and the screen still won't work when being changed try doing a hard reset by holding the power and volume down button until it restarts - have had advice by someone who repairs phones for a living that this should reset what the phone is looking at for hardware and you should be able to do screen replacement. Failing that chances are it's going to be dead. Not much point in selling it these days as they aren't worth much these days. If the phone won't start the battery may be dead flat. The phone needs some voltage to run its charging firmware, you can try to get it charging by leaving on charge for 10 min or more, even if no charge light, then hold power/vol up/vol down at the same time to recalibrate the charge circuit, it may start to charge after this.
Let me know how it goes, I wouldn't spend too much time on it, unless it's now a project..

ow volum down? okay will try that. but i think i killed it lol cause the charging light wont come on anymore lol
it was just a idea that poped up in my head, that maybe i can save it so i friend can use it but i think i will just trow it away lol or something will give it a shot and see. will report back
nvm it's dead it wont even boot lol. i think i burned sometime lol that little cable that onder the battery thats conects the botem part with the other fliped out 2 time and 3time it smeled burned lol nvm
Sounds like it may have shorted, a replacement is fairly cheap , just depends on how serious you are about spending money on it.
I forgot to mention that when calibrating charge circuit with power/vol up/vol down all held down at the same time, they need to be held down for at least 2 minutes.

nvm i think i fried the cpu or something lol it wont turn on anymore.
i trew it in the bin
Probably the best result, it's probably cheaper to to buy a second hand one and also cause less aggravation when you can't work out why it won't work. You could always sell the replacement screen.

dont think i will sell it i mean who would buy it? lol but guess i could try for like 20euro or 10 lol.
and have 2 batteries for 10 or 5 euro lol
have 3 backcovers also 2 white and 1 black.
we bought every thing to repaire it but yeah.
could maybe sell some **** but pff dont knopw. (its my oncles old phone will ask him (maybe sell every thing exept de motherboard)
That's what I'd do, try and sell it for parts minus the mainboard. If that doesn't work, put it away somewhere and if you come across a dead one cheap, swap the mainboards out (providing it has the same screen - that's a given). Good luck with whatever you decide to do. :good:
