I have the 4gb / 64GB dual SIM version, and it seems 99% of the cases I buy do not have the microphone hole in the correct spot, it blocks the microphone. Is the microphone placement different on the dual sim G7 power? The only case (out of 6 or 7 I've tried) that has correct microphone placement actually has 2 holes over there, one of which is correctly positioned on the microphone.

excuse me ?
I just used a dremmel tool to grind the hole bigger to open it up over the mic hole.
Wow, drill holes. Mine's from Brazil, it's to the left of the charging port. Not that it matters after 10 months.

I had to replace the screen and digitiser on my TP2 after shutting it in the boot of a car (clever huh?). I accomplished the swap surprisingly easily after buying a pre-built screen and digitiser from Hong Kong for about £25. It even came with a spudger to help me take it apart I followed a few guides, including this iFixit one, which greatly helped.
Frustratingly though after putting it all back together and making a test call, the earpiece rattles during calls. Not a lot, but enough to make me want to fix it; applying gentle pressure to a certain top part of the bezel reduces the rattle a little bit but I've taken it apart three times and taped up various sections now to see if stops the problem. Unfortunately, no such luck.
Is the earpiece rattle something to do with inadequate insulation (or the ribbon cable running down the back of the screen)? Everything's sandwiched in pretty tight and I've reapplied electrical tape to what I think are the key areas. I've also padded the top area where the earpiece comes through the metal mesh and I've stuck the mesh down with doublesided tape so it can't move about. The problem persists though...
Everything else works fine, and the speaker also works perfectly with no vibrations or rattles (even though I also took that bit apart to inspect it) so I can't figure out why just the earpiece is rattling. Anybody taken their Touch Pro2 apart, had the same problem and solved it?
I have torn apart probably 3-4 TP2 screens and never had anything rattle. Did you lose a screw in there by chance? That is the only thing that would be small enough to rattle in there I think.
The only other thing I could thing that it might be is a bad connection to the vibrator motor. Maybe you have the little ribbon cable pinched or a bit off the socket it fits in.
Hi Guys,
I have problem with my M8 dual SIM (microphone not working from day 1). I am under warranty, but I decided to fix it myself :laugh: .
I noticed that my phone's microphone starts working when I press bottom of the phone hard! So I used pliers few times to make the microphone working
So, I damaged my phone with pliers. I need to order:
1. Back cover
2. Front cover (plastic part above microphone)
3. Microphone
I planned to order via http://www.etradesupply.com/htc/android-models/htc-one-m8-replacement-parts.html
But my final questions is: ARE SPARE PARTS OF M8 AND M8-DUAL-SIM COMPATIBLE?
Thanks and regards!
Guys.. anyone?
Does anyone know if M8 and M8-Dual-SIM housing is compatible?
Thanks
when you say housing, you do know that the 'normal' M8 has a single size slot for the single sim and the dual sim has a double size slot for the dual sims?
as for the insides i wouldnt know but guess that you really dont want to waste your money experimenting.
you need to find a supplier for the dual sim version parts.
I had same thing on mind, but then realised that hole for SIM on housing (back cover) is the same, as the SIM tray is of the same width.
I can't find supplier for back cover for M8 dual sim
THanks

ah, i am with you now.
yes, you are right. so the actual back cover 'could' be the same unless there are different cutouts or moldings on the inside of the cover to hold the sim contacts or guide the double width sim holder.
could you not phone up a repair shop and ask them if they know?
or maybe even call HTC support on their customer technical query line... if they have one.
unless you can find someone here that has both phones and has taken them apart and can remember if there were any differences.
sorry i cant help more
Does anyone know what the holes on the bezel are for?
There is one about an inch away from the volume buttons, and one off center on the left side if the volume buttons are off. Are these microphones?
Note, I'm not asking about the hole to eject the micro sd card...
Thanks,
Joe
They are probably mic holes.
So the Tab S4 specs say it has "far field microphones" with the plural, I guess that's the two side-holes. Supposed to work with Google Assistant "out of the box". I'm not really sure what this means or how to take advantage of it. It will be interesting to see how much they are interfered with by the case I ordered.

As above said, those are microphone holes, never poke them.
Multiple microphones are used to make the device hears you better and to record video/audio in stereo.
I had this problem where the vibration unit only works after shaking it like a crazy person which seems to be quite common in the A3, A5, A7 series.
So I ordered a vibration unit (3€) and a replacement adhesive sticker for the back cover (2,50€) and pushed my luck.
I used this video as a guide on how to disassemble and followed most steps.
Here's where I strayed from it:
-I used a crystallization hand warmer to apply heat. This way the temperature is controlled not to rise above 58°C, which should not harm the hardware.
-I wedged it open with a box cutter, then used the plastic blister packaging of an SD Card. It is both sturdy and thin.
- the Vibration unit was destroyed during removal
Lessons learned:
-If you are about to do a report/tutorial on disassembling your phone, make sure your camera THAT IS NOT YOUR PHONE is currently in your possession.
-Buy that vibration unit for 3 bucks before you start this, even if you are positive yours works but is just dislodged. The best case is you have a spare, but removing the original in working condition is not a given, and you don't want to be stuck with an open phone and no vibration unit.
-The A3 2016 and A3 2017 vibration units look pretty much the same on ebay, but aren't. Double check before you buy. I accidentally bought the 2016 version which works in the A320, but is smaller and packs considerably less, you know, vibration.
-Do not skip that step where they tell you to remove the SD/SIM tray. It locks the mainboard in place.
-The person at Samsung that came up with these contact springs for the vibration unit should be fired. With a cannon, into the sun.
-packing in an additional layer of two sided tape beneath the vibration unit doesn't quite work. Well, the vibration unit worked, but the antenna didn't ("No Service"). (The antenna consists of those plastic parts you remove before taking about the mainboard.) If you have to apply pressure to the antenna to close the phone, you have a risk of cracking your mainboard (mine shows a slight crack, but it is still intact). If I'd do it again maybe I'd try Teflon Tape for plumbing beneath the contact plates for that tiny bit of extra pressure.
-to keep your phone waterproof, you need new stickers. Make sure both the vibration unit AND the GSM antenna work before you apply them, while we're at it it's best to test all functions before resealing (Cameras, Speakers, WiFi, NFC, Phonecalls)
-Start the phone Twice if it won't boot. Don't panic, that's normal (at least with lineage 15.1 it is).
I accidently poked the upper mic hole with sim tool so I want to know for sure if this can destroy the mic or compromise the ip68 rating, any ideas ?
You can damage it of course if you shove it in with force but it is unlikely you have done so. And I doubt you will do it again
