Htc one x connection problem - HTC One X

I just got my HTC One X battery replaced recently with a new HTC One X+ battery. Long short story, now the phone is unchargeable via computer or power socket, the storage doesn't connect to the computer when plugged in but usb fastboot still works for some reason. All of these problems instantly solved once I remove the white plastic cover, but of course I can't keep it like that. Any idea how to deal with this? Thanks in advance,

Could it be that the power button is misaligned so that it is permanently pressed when the cover is on? Or is the battery connection to the pcb coming apart when the cover is on - has the copper foil bunched up pulling the connection away when it's compressed?

Thanks for taking your time answering me. The power button isn't the problem, I've had it misaligned once and I couldn't put the white cover back properly so I knew if it's misaligned. About the battery connection coming apart, I don't if that's the case but if that's the case then how do I solve it?

Welp, problem solved by taking the phone to a local phone repair store. It turned out that some kind of hidden wire related to the charging function got stretched every time the white cover is on, which made the phone unable to charge, or so my repairer said.

Glad you got it sorted.

[Q] G2 extended battery problem

I bought an extended red battery, and it was working fine until today. I dropped my phone and now the battery will only work for a little bit and then the phone will shut off and not turn back on.
The original battery works fine, no problems. So my question is could my dropping of the phone have done something to the extended battery?
Did you peel the red sticker off? If you did then what's happening is the battery is making contact with the metal sd card holder and shorting your phone. An easy fix, which was already posted in another thread, is to simply put a piece tape on the battery in the same spot where it would normally touch the sd card holder and you should be good to go.

Probably dropping of the phone Idk but I dropped my phone about three days ago and after that it would not connect to signal so I restored to normal and it started to get signal later on but now it is really weak where I would of gotten full bars like my house now I only get 2 bars usually.

[Q] Am i screwed or what

hey guys yestrerday my phone took a path for the worst
i was mad at something and so i banged my phone against the table *anger issues.Now the phone turns on but its all black screen and sometimes partially gray and partially black. I can hear the volume when i press it and the phone vibrates and rings for calls but i cant see nothing its all dark.
i assume its not a software problem...rather hardware. Did i break the screen or disconnect a ribbon from the board to the screen
i have a G2 obviously with ics
more than likely one of those options. may be hard to diagnose it until you open it up.
even then it may not be obvious if its the screen or flex cable, but im guessing its one of them.
good luck!
I opened it and found out that all the plugs/ribbons are connected.
I think the ribbon cable can have wires that are severed inside, despite the shielding still being intact.
Can it be possible that the screen is broken becuase only the screen is black i can play music because i remember where i put the widget.....so can it be the screen because i dont think its a ribbon
Both the lcd and ribbion can have the same effect. I can't tell you which one is bad on your end, but I can say that with all my years fixing slider phones it almost never is the lcd

So what ur saying is its not the screen
Can it still be the screen although i took it out and it dosent look broken, take a look:
Not saying it isn't the screen I'm just saying that it more than likley is the flex cable, harder to replace and about 35 usd vrs 20 for an lcd. Take your pick but if it were me id go flex cable

Really a weird issue :(

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?

there is no physical damage in the ribbon, even i saw the whole connection of the ribbon... no physical damage.
But now, after reconnecting the parts i got another problem to... i cant see any boot animation and boot screen... when i start the mobile it remains black screen and only after hearing the boot tone, again by pressin the power button the screen turns on.. till that the screen is black.. dont know what to do .
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.
:crying:
now the problems are :
* touch not working
* display colours are changed
* cant see the bootloader and boot animation
Please someone help me :crying:
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
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
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.

Dropped phone, backlight is dark/strobe

I have my one x now for 2 weeks and I can't believe I have a major problem already.
So this is the story : I was at my desk and I accedently swiped my phone to the ground. At first it looked nothing because i have a carpet floor. I picked my phone from the ground and it was off? I tryed powering it on but nothing happend. No bootloader button. No 15 seconds pressing. Nothing. Dead.
So I connected the usb power and thank god it came to live. But then i realised it was realy dark and flikkering. So im realy confused how this could happen.
Maybe because i soldered the wifi antenne a week ago?
Maybe the display cable has become loose...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yes, that might be the case, why don't you pick your phone apart and tighten any cables you had removed and then see?
Flickering is caused due to loose cable AFAIK...
Thank guys. Im going to try and look. I hope its not the motherboard
update: i dissambled everything. Checked everything twice. But nothing. Every cabel is tight and proper. Still realy dark and flikkering background light
also i broked the power button kabel. Now the power button doenst work. *sigh* think im going to sell this phone. Im out of idea's..

You may order a cable from eBay or rounded.com
As for the display cable, try removing it and attaching it again...

Screen repair issues

I have just replaced the lcd and digitizer for my Nexus 7. The repair was about as easy as expected. I put everything back together and all the ribbon cables are seated as they should be. My issue is that it will not power up or stay on when I fit the back cover on.
I can power on the device with the case half way on it powers up and the touchscreen is fine. I fit the back cover back on and it's like it shorts outs. The screen goes black.
I have pulled it apart again and have checked and rechecked all my cables and reseated the battery. Both boards are seated. The symptoms tell me it should be a poorly seated cable but they are seated just as I found them.
Has anyone else run into something like this or have any other ideas on what it might be?

That's a tight fit. Secure those ribbons and connectors with some tape. They are almost surely unseating.

Thanks for the response. I taped just about everything I could down to keep everything stationary. I was able to get the back cover on and boot back up. Everything functions now however whatever my issue is with shorting out or in some cases locking up appears to be from the bottom left hand corner.
