Got a question.
I think I've damaged the USB port on my HTC HD2 by jamming the cord in too hard. It's pushed the port a bit up inside the phone and now if I don't put it in correctly and firmly, the phone won't charge or it'll cause a short circuit. This phone is less then a month old and was purchased on a plan through JB Hifi (Electronic store) so it's still under warranty.
Can I take it in and claim warranty or what? I don't got mobile insurance but either it's repaired or it won't be good for much longer. I'd prefer to be able to claim it under warranty but unsure.
Will Telstra (My network provider) accept it or? And should I flash it back to the original stock bloatware full ROM before attempting it?
from a person who has just had his phone returned unrepaired because damage to he usb port was out of warranty, it cost £280 for a new PCB.
I will be disassembling my phone to re-solder my micro usb port back onto the PCB, assuming i have not pulled up any pads!
its not covered by the standard htc warranty, but there's a reasonable chance if you go back to the seller and say its been getting progressively worse for a few weeks and just now started shorting they may just swap it out to keep you sweet.
For all you people that suffer from charging issues due to a bad usb port and have tried replacing it, but after replacing you get very little signal... here's a seller on ebay that sells a fully working module...

The this is rev 2.2
Hey there all, about a month ago i dropped my phone into the river, ordered a replacement battery (because it was bulging out) and was able to recover my phone from water damage. Had to use isopropyl to clean all the board contacts, but i think i may have fried my mic and gyrometer parts. I was wondering if there were replacement parts for these or if there was another method to test if i need to reclean them again. Also have some charging issues after replacing my battery, so im wondering whether i should replace my usb charging flex port and whether i should also replace my antenna cable cause my signals a little bit worse than original. Cheers! I need to know if i replace the usb dock port, can i use other versions other than the g925i ie 925f etc, thanks
I read on Amazon (regarding the LG CPR-120 wireless charging cover) and on the ATT LG V10 XDA forum that LG manufactured the V10 using a defective IDT P9025A wireless charging chip and the result is that the wireless charging fails in short order (after up to a week). But someone over on the ATT version XDA site reported that he bought his V10 in February 2016 and he's not having any problems with the chip failing. So, I'm wondering if in later production of the V10, LG updated the chip to a non-defective version (the IDT P9025AC).
Is anyone NOT having problems with wireless charging? If so, can you say when you bought the phone (or the date of manufacture)? Also, if you have a back or charging sticker recommendation, that would be helpful as well.
Thanks

Ya I'm on the Verizon side I bought the door from Amazon and I posted a big warning about the faulty chip Set Used witch was the same one from the G4 and the chip manufacturer wrote LG telling them to stop using it and use there new one to stop them from burning out. But LG didn't lesson they continue to use the faulty ones in our device. So we end up with the same out come. No QI charging after a while. Mine burnt out in less then a week.

hi,
i am a proud g5 user who has now some troubles with his lg.
almost all 3 seconds my g5 discovers a usb wire conection and dismisses the messages after aproximate 1 second (sometimes later, and sometimes before) and this without a wire.
it happens after my mom sat on it and the usb port is now not as tight than before. i got a loose connection if i move the wire back, but that was it.
it wont charge corectly and get many disconects like the usb conection but inverted.
i opened the bottom module but the usb port is fine. there is some gloßy clear film on the pcb and the smal usb contacts. it havent a break, so i think its fine.
i was about to buy the hifi module but i want to ask bevore if the original module is the problem or if its something with the motherboard?
or if i can repair it by my self (reflashing ofw, the new bottom module etc)
if someone got a nice answer, please, answer asap o.o
thank you guys
and sorry about my crappy english, even in my mother language i am bad :X

I had the same issue on my sprint g5 i did the same cleaned the port took the chin apart everything was fine only thing i can productivly add that i have noticed is the hotter the device the worse it was for me.
Replace the bottom chin. Find the module that's correct to your device's model

Mine done it with 2 different chins

Well. The only possible problem now is the bottom PCB piece that make contact to the module. If it's cracked/bent then you have to replace the whole motherboard.

lol I dont the one that was doing it is hard bricked from obviously failed test.
I checked it pretty good with a jewelers loop I thought it might be a crack from being put on and off so much but didnt see anything
I think it was in the firmware on mine once I downgraded to an older firmware it didnt do it
but i bricked it a day later it happend all the time and everyday though at least 5 times and hour

thanks for your replys, so you think its only the botton piece? i was about to change it with the hifi module. if i buy it its posible that the error disapears?
is it posible that the bottom pcb can shortcut (or so) so that the phone discharges faster?
it even wont fastcharg at all. even if the charge icon apears the phone doesnt load correctly...
forget to mention its the h850 (if i remember correctly)

You said that your mom sat on the phone. Like. On a sofa? Or a hard surface?
If the place your mom sat on the phone is soft like a bed or a sofa then probably the pressure has ben put on the end of the cable and the port itself. The type-c port has mini solders that connect to the pcb that breaks. So just try the Hifi plus module and test it out. If it's fast charging again then Replace the module only.
If the Hifi plus produce the same results (not fast charging/not charging correctly).If you are out of warranty coverage then you could try and take the phone apart and look for the PCB pieces at the bottom that connects to the module. If it's cracked/curved/bent then your motherboard has to be replaced. Hope that clears up for ya.

Thanks for the clear up ^^
sadly i buyed it for 180€ and dont know if its worth it to put much more money in it. the motherboard conectors are all fine, the usb-port isnt tight as before now, so i thought the same and riped the bottom module apart. the conector looks just fine to me, thats why i wonder and why i am not sure if a repair is worth it. I thought to solder it anew but its to fine. the pcb is coated with some gloßy stuff, and i think even if i get a hotair solderstation i cant repair it.
yes my mom sat on it while it was on my couch, she even didnt feel that it was there.
the hifi module costs 75€ and the back cover isnt all that nice (many damages in the alluminium) so i want to replace that to if its worth.
i saw today that it doesnt detects usb from pc, it detects itself(?). it says that the otg is used and want to get charged, so it opens the menu to change the usb options. for me it looks like a shortcut but i cant explain how this can happen if its only the type c port. is type c that easy to destroy? easyer than microusb? (i ask because its my first type c device)
thanks for your held and advice

Just go to a store and try a different module.
And i dont recommend the Hifi plus module.
Sure. The headphone jack is down at the bottom and the quality is better if you have the equipment and GIGANTIC music files.
You are using a H850. Just unlock your bootloader and get Viper4android. Save your money, like buying 2 modules for spares if your mother decides to sit on the phone again
Pretty sure the type c is better for the future. I mean. If a micro usb device falls into the same situation as yours then i don't think that the port might survive or replaceable as easy as the G5

you were right, it was the module. my mom buyed a new one on ebay.
and i dont want to unlock it and cfw it, the ofw is fine for me ^^ its like lg thougt about almost every thing, my z5 feels like trash when i operate it
oh, and i think type-c cables areent that easy to brake, against the micro usb i think the port will faster be damaged than the cable, unlike micro usb, and i think this could be a problem for me D:
oh and do you know if it transmit data in 3.0, 3.1 or only 2.0? i got to many diferent answeres

The G5 is the same as the HTC 10
I the type c port on both of them are fully COMPLIANT to the Type-C standards.
But the Voltage on the charging line overrides the Type-C standards of 5 volts, but HTC and LG modifies it so it can go up above 5 volts
Other wise comparing the transfer rate between the my HTC one m8 and my LG G5, the G5 is definitely faster

Jeah, my g5 is feeling faster, but i can be wrong.
What i mean is, if it uses the 3.0/3.1 standart, or uses the port the same like the huawei p10 (it uses 2.0)
I know that androids are way slower than an regular usb stick, but there is a cpu betwen the memory, also no direct writing.
That the one m8 slower is is strange, and that keeps my questioning.
(Urgh sry for typos im reLy not the best in english and autocorrect annoys too)
EDIT:
compliant means fully asigned pins, am i right?
