Hi,
Having dismantled my HTC One X in order to replace a broken screen I discovered a broken connector. Does anyone know what it does and how it may be repaired? I've attached a couple of images showing the broken connector. It looks like it and the one next to it both connect to a single gold pad on the back plate when the phone is assembled.
Note: This is a European version. Looks slightly different to the AT&T version
Many Thanks
Roy

Don't actually know what they are for, but it might reassure you to know they are NOT your phone signal antenna (that's above and to the left), GPS antenna (that's directly above) or Wi-Fi antenna (they're on the other side of the phone by the volume rocker).
From the placement, perhaps something to do with the pogo pins on the back panel.
Hello my friend.its attached on the here(see the photo)
This is for the docking station,so its not something that will make your phone defect.you cant charge via the docking station.so you are lucky

I don't think he meant those pins, I believe he was referring to the 2 spring contacts just above the pogo interface.
My mistake
Maybe its for the NFC ?

Yeah that's the general opinion but I haven't been able to find concrete information.
So, OP, the general consensus is that it is the NFC antenna pins.
So OP,if everything works ok(GPS,WiFi) like its Tigerlight says NFC its the only thing that left.

That's great guys. Thanks a lot. However, I have to ask... what IS if the NFC?

It's definitely not the GPS, Wi-Fi or cellular.

Hmmmm.... Finally got my phone back together (without fixing this connector) and my g sensor isn't working. No compass, auto screen rotate or anything. Is this connector likely to be something to do with the G-Sensor. Thought I'd ask before tearing my phone apart AGAIN!!! :crying:
Thanks

The G-Sensor is an IC soldered on the motherboard, it doesn't have external connectors.
Thanks

I was replacing my wife's LCD on her EVO and broke the LCD connector (on the motherboard). Not the ribbon (that's fine) but the connector that the ribbon goes into. Would anyone know where to find one? Or maybe a workaround for the situation? Please get me out of trouble!
Thanks

You broke the offwhite part right? It happens alot lol

Yes, the white part and screwed up some of the prongs underneath. Any suggestions?
Thanks
one of our techs broke that one time and I had to replace the device. I was able to get it to work by taping that part with electrical tape just until the customer got their replacement but it won't last long man. I don't think it's a replaceable part though...at least I've never replaced it since we've had very few like that in our store.
OK, thanks

np, sucks that those parts are rather flimsy...
Not replaceable and a Sprint tech will (should) notice that.
Kinda screwed.

I'd suggest a hot air station would do the trick to replace it, they dont like plastic components a whole lot but you can judge the temperature when you remove it, bloody ace for removing SMD chips or IC's..
I bought a HTC One X today and I both checked the HTC website aswell as the HTC One X manual but I couldn't figure out what those 5 little circles are on the back of the device.
I've added a picture to make it more clear what I mean.
Does anyone have an idea what those circles are?
Those are for connecting with the car dock.

You what?!
You mean you haven't been following this device since the day it was announced? You haven't watched the 100's of hands-on videos, reviews and pictures detailing every inch of the phone?
Jeez.
(only joking mate )
Thanks, I just heard it in his video.
That kinda sucks, because the salesman last week in the shop told me it was for wireless charging, too bad .

It charges in the car dock so you don't have to plug in a cable.

The energy lost with wireless charging makes it not worth it atm for me.
I also don't get the difficulty level some people have with plugging in a micro usb port

No it doesn't. The cardock is using micro-usb, as you can see here.
It's not difficult at all but how cool is it just to lay it down on a certain "board" and when you pick it up it's charged
It's also for speaker docks and alarm clock docks too, right?
I think you'll find that those circles will be used by the official charger dock. The photo on this thread would also indicate that it can be charged with a correctly designed case fitted too.
I haven't looked at the car cradle yet, but regarding the point of it coming with a USB cable - that will most likely connect to the base of the cradle, which in turn provides power to the device (probably via another micro usb connector from what I recall).
Bugsy

Yep. The official speaker dock uses pogo connectors to charge.
Hi!
I recently bought a HTC Desire from a friend, seems like he manage to break the minijack (only one headphone works when plugged in - the left one works, both works when i pull the jack further out, but with terrible connection), i tried to clean it - but still the same problem..
Also the speaker is broken..
Are there any places i can get hold of a speaker and minijack for HTC Desire?
Is it possible to solder of those to components and change?
Thanks for all help on beforehand!
Best regards,
DanVazz

Don't know how well that would go, I think you'd be better off buying the upper board (or upper and lower) and replacing that.
So where can I get this "upper board"?
Thanks for quick reply!

ebay I guess?
Also, here's a video of the assembly procedure so you know what part I'm talking about. Check 4:20

Seems like its going to be this one then. Also this will only change the minijack i guess.. Most likely going to buy this one to, if this one will replace speaker.

Hi,
My HOX fell down a few times (never ever alcohol again!).. I noticed that the camera doesnt work anymore. When I open the camera app, the camera options appears, but the picture still is black. The Frontcam neither works!
I think, that a flex cable just got broken or went out. Could this be possible?
Im pretty sure that the camera itself not got broken and it's not a software issue!
If just the flex cable went out or something like that, I want to repair my HOX..
Thank You!

probably the 2 cameras have one single cable connected to the motherboard... that cable could be broken or detached
Where can I check if the HOX really have one single cable for both cameras?!

It's not very difficult to open the HOX -maybe have a look at youtube with suitable word, or search here in the forum.
As I had some problems with WLAN, and have seen some postst that it maybe can be caused by bad antenna-contacts I'd made it alogside looking a film in TV. You just have to get out the SIM, and Tesafilm to fix the volume and On/Off Key. No more tools needed.
Hello guys,
I disassembled my One X today to fix the wifi fault, I fixed it and now the signal strengh is excellent, but when opening it I damaged 2 pins which I don't know to what antenna they belong.. Though I tested my phone after assembling, everything works good (wifi, gps, bluetooth, signal, 3g), so I don't know what are those pins/connectors, here are the said pins circled with red, please help me I need to know
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Could be NFC... Take a bus card, gym card or similar and try to read it.
I saw a pic describing the pins earlier today, lemme find it for you.

Thank you for the fast reply, I don't care about NFC I stored the pins and I'll solder them when I'll have time, for now I don't want to reopen it another time
anyone confirms that those pins are for NFC? because NFC is working like it should, but GPS is taking time to lock, and it locks to 6 satellites Max, no way to get more :/ are they GPS pins?
According to my photo, they are not mobile signal ,WiFi or GPS.
What's left then??
And how did you damage them? Totally snapped off or bent a little?

When I inserted a bit of plastic on the left side, I damaged the pins, they was completely removed! I have them and I can solder them but I don't want to solder anything because I'm willing to sell it to get the One, and scared to damage another thing when soldering..
Might be something to do with the pogo(docking) pins, pictured here
Might be; but there's also a traditional flex cable for the pogo pins.
