The Earpiece of my Vox just stopped working. Anybody else had this problem or knows a solution? Could it have something to do with the Win6.1 Rom from Gonzo?
Hi Bunecarera,
had exactly the same problem today.
I made a hard reset- hasn´t change a thing.
While I was driving home, my battery went emty. So my vox was without power for a few hours.
After that (while preparing for sendigt it to htc) i gave him a last try - and it worked!
So, I would propose that you remove your battery and wait for a few hours.
But now I have the problem, that i can´t establish a usb connection to my pc :-( It´s just charging... but no data connection.
I keep trying...

@NamorGermany
Change the USB cable
@matrix77
thanks for you tip, but i already knew this issue...
tried several diffrent cable... doesn´t change anything!
Aaah, i went into the bootloader... now the ROM-Update is working!
I´m really glad. Thanks secable (it was his post).
(Bootloader = Phone of, hold camera-button, plug USB-cable in)
@Bunecarera
I will let you know if the Rom downgrade (to original HTC Rom) will solve our problem. But I think its a hardware matter... :-(

It Worked!! Don't have an explanation for it, but it started working again after removing the battery for a couple of hours.
Strange, very strange...
My ear piece stopped working too. I found that hitting my phone on something hard brought it back to life. My casing is already damaged so i didnt mind! So anyway I waited til my warranty ran out and then took my phone apart to have a look at the ear piece. After taking the entire phone apart to get to it i found that the ear piece is connected using very thin, bearly 1mm cable. Mine has a dodgy connection but only very slightly where it meets a connector, most probably from all the drops my phone has had. But my advise would be for you to contact htc if your within warranty. I did before about my battery and a got new one!
FYI I did try to fix the connector but as the cable is soo small its too risky.
Hope this helps a bit! If at all lol.
Mine became very distorted a little while ago, I simply flick the earpiece when it happens and it solves it, heh.

My XDA II suddenly decided to think it's always charging, EVEN when it's not in the cardle. I don't know why. The upper right corner is always yellow (not flashing). The backlight brightness can only be controlled by the 'On Power' slider. Simply, it thinks it is in the cradle. No matter how I try, be it soft or hard reset, it's the same. In this siutaution, the battery drains VERY VERY QUICKLY.
In fact, this is the 3rd time I experience this. For the previous 2 occasions, I send it back to service centre and they change a new unit for me under warranty. But it's just 5 months and it has already happened for 3 times! It's hassle and I am thinking what I can do after warranty period.
Am I being alone and anyone else has experienced the same situation? Any means I can solve it by myself? Thanks a lot.
I have same help me now
I think this is from using the cradle, for some reason it distorts the pins in the phone and causes a short between pins. I found that using a usb cable makes this less likely to happen.
hm
this is happening to me too
i had to buy a new xda 2 .... i still have the old one , if anyone knows how to fix this i would apreciate it very much. ...
it is the same story, the led is always on, it always says charning even when is not... and the battery only stays charged for 3-4 hours.
I´ve the same problem since yesterday with my T-Mobile MDA², it´s Rom Version: 1.72.01GER (6 months in use without problems), Rom Date 03/16/04, Radio 1.17.00, Protocol 1337.28, ExtRom 1.72.170
The yellow light is always on and the batterie runs very fast out of energy (1-2 hours) and it´s always says charging and think it´s connected to AC power...
Possible fix to "always charging" problem
:idea: I got the same problem yesterday but I think I fixed it. (long rant)
By coincidence I was just finishing up after an upgrade to WM5 with Ramdisk when it happened. Of cource I suspected the upgrade to be the problem.
However, I remembered that I had gotten some snow onto the PDA exiting my car some hours previously, and started to suspect that this had created a short in the system somewhere.
Looking into the charge plug hole I could see that half og the bottom of the hole was covered with some light gray stuff. I used a thoothpick to gently scrape on it and lo and behold a big (relatively) wad of pocket lint came out. It had obviously become wet from the snow and created a short.
Everything works just like normal now. Charge stays fine (especially with my new 1700mAh eBay battery, recomended)
I have not had the problem return after the "fix". Fingers crossed.
I don't think everyone has exactly the same problem but I suspect it is caused by a slight short in the plug area in most cases.
Good luck!
In relation to this, when I sync my XDA II to my PC via the cradle, the phone automatically charges (even without the power supply). Is there a way to disable this charging feature? Cause the battery life will be shortened if charging happens when the battery is not drained first.
Thanks

My 2i does this as well, from what I have read this will not damage the battery. LiOn batteries prefer to be recharged before they get fully drained, in fact they like to be topped up rather then ran flat then fully charged. This is only going by what I have read on the internet, but it was on several differnt sites so I have no reason to think the info is duff.
Tx a lot for the confortable info.
@threadstarter:
the warranty should begin again if you receive a new device!
the warranty is on the device, not on the contract you have!
if you continue that way you should have a new one every half year ;-)

A couple of days ago, I plugged my (Vodafone branded) Vox into a charger. The phone turned off and ever since I haven't been able to turn it back on. I have tried taking the battery, sim, etc out and leaving them out for a half hour or so, but to no avail. I have tried a different battery...
I don't get anything from the phone - no leds lit no nothing. Anyone have any clues? I have searched far and wide but haven't come across anything
... help!
Maybe there was a power peak. Wich burned a circuit of your vox?
Do you still have your phone under warrenty? I would RMA it. Since you don't get any response from your phone there isn't much you can do about it (my guess)
Good luck with it
Only waranty can help you. PCB components are destroied by high electricity power.
Good luck again
i had something similar after a bad flash..
have u tried go in bootloader...
hold the camera button and plug in usb.
Many thanks for your replies - I don't think it's still under warranty When I get back home I'll give the bootloader thing a go...
Slightly bizarre - I had to go over to Dallas on business this week (Mon-Fri). When I got back I put the battery back in (had left it out whilst I was away) and everything worked fine! I'm not sure if it had collected some moisture before or what... just very happy it works now!!
Strange, but good that it's solved
Good luck with your re-lived vox
* Maybe try the new dr. gonzo s740 rom, it will provide a much longer battery life! It used 1% in 6 hours while beïng idle in use it uses about the same amount of battery as any other rom and it has some handy features wich the previous 6.1 roms didn't have
Have moved over to the s740 rom and like it Although it is my better half (?) that has the vox, and she's just happy to have her phone back!
What a week, Ok new to this forum loving the site.. I got a htc fuze but things got heated with my girl and the she crack the screen... NP!!!! i got the replacement coming, and i begain taking it apart and when taking off the mini usb/flex-ribbon cable it rip ... this seems to be the main power for the phone. Part no.50h10078 do anyone have or know of a diamond/fuze part site i can order this power board from?
Its located in the base of the phone and the flex/ribbon cable runs under the battery to the connect to the top of the phone threw th back
thank you in advance
@lphar56
Same here, but I still can charge the battery (not fully ripped off). Lost vibration and USB-connectivity. It sucks big time.
Found any solution to this?

Hi everyone.
Last night I went to bed and as usual I check my Nexus S battery.
It indicated me very low battery, and turn it off.
So far, no problem, i thought, well there isn't enough battery to turn on the phone. I connected the cellphone to the wall charger and went to sleep.
Today i woke up and try it to turn it on, the screens just flashes and nothing happens.... Removed battery, try it again, the same.
Try 100 times that, and there was one time a Warning of Bootloader came up. Don't know what i did different thought, but now i can't get the same result.
Actually now the screen doesn't even flashes when i press the power button.
The battery seems to be charged, i tested with a LED. My wall charger is also working cause it's able to charge my old phone.
And now to get things even worse, as i bought it in asia, i don't have warranty, and the gran finale, Nexus S is not been sold in Brazil due to some regulatory issues, so Samsung said it they can't help me with an imported product.
The Cellphone is brand new, doesn't have not even ONE month of use.
It's not rotted, and it was in the latest android firm.
Does anyone have any idea what can i do????
The phone doesn't respond to anything .
Tnks a lot in advance.
PROBLEM SOLVED!!! SEE THE LAST THREAD. BR!

Is it showing full bars when you connect the charger and press the volume button?
dude, i think there is something wrong with our country. take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111761
i think you tried everything possible, can't see what else you could do. Looks like a hardware issue..
if i were you, i'd claim for warranty, even if you bought in hk, it has warranty, of course you will lose shipping cost, but, it's better than lose the phone! =o]
good luck!
GchildT: Nothing happens when i connect the charger to the cellphone.
Already tried the hard reset (volumn up + power button) nothing happens
thiagodark: Tell me about it, i read this thread ealier this morning, actually i send it a private message asking him if he solve his problem... samsung is really disappoint me.
The thing i found most said is that the phone is bran new! Not a month year old.
And i didn't do anything, not even rotted, dropped, anything!
PROBLEM SOOOOOOOOOOOLVED!!!
The problem was that there was a little tiny piece of plastic dirt in the usb male plug in the phone! And that piece was able to make a faulty contact with the charger, the phone battery was dead as hell.
Can you believe that?????
I almost sent my phone across the world in order to use the warranty.
Now I'm back with my cellphone up , happy as hell!
Tnks a lot, and remenber to always clean everything before use more drastic measures.

As you can see in thread, phone just dead. Dunno what happened. I bought it an year ago. I've tried to connect it to computer and it was visible as QHSUSB bulk but now i can't see it there. It doesn't react for turning on. I can't get into download mode, recovery mode. Very long time ago i flashed Android MM from xda and it was working good. It had ~50% of battery when died. I've tried to put off battery and then connect to pc but still nothing happen. It has broken screen (was working good) but i've done it in September 2016 so. I can connect it to Linux but i think it won't help too. Any fixes? I think they won't take It at warranty because of screen. Phone looks like dead for ages :<. @edit IT'S NOT DEAD! I've disconnected something from battery this longer one and when i click power i can hear "something" in the phone. And it gets heater so looks like processor is working. But it's still not visible in the device manager.
edit2
i know emmc pinouts.
While I was using the phone, with battery at 66%, the exact same thing happened to mine. I'm sick of it. Time for a new phone.
(Had the rooted V15c image on it, no broken screen, only the camera issue - should someone care)
Same problem here, what is happening . My phone was approximately 80-90% and it suddenly turned off and I can't turn it on ..
bump
Phone went black with warning
The same just happened to mine. It was fully charged and I was using it and then the screen went black. There are no lights when I plug it in, no vibration after pressing and holding the power button. Nothing
I've connected it to my pc and a driver installed, I think the same one as a post above (QHSUSB) but still the phone doesn't respond in any way.
It's the European H955 on official MM 6.0.1 no root or mods and is out of the one year warranty yet was in excellent condition. Does this mean the phone is for scrap and nothing can be done?
Hi, I found a solution to repair the phone in this state. I start by telling you a story, a long time ago I had an HP laptop. video card was detachment from motherboard, and to a stick again we used a method called reflowing. I thought that the phone has the same problem, however we have nothing to lose so I opened the phone I took out the motherboard and started to warm up each chip using a hot air blower. I mounted the phone back and now works like new. I apologize for my bad English I am from Romania.

Any one tried this method and succeeded may please inform on this forum
My phone crashed, would reload to lock screen then restart and finally would not start at all. Before this the rear camera stopped working.
I had reset, flashed a new Rom and replaced the Camera which didn't solve the issue.
After the phone died I tried reflowing though I had no heat gun so I just used the oven. 200c for 7 minutes after disassembly.
That was about 8 hours ago and I am typing on my phone.the Camera is also working.
I will post if it stops again. I did it as the phone was dead and I had nothing to lose.
I have the same problem, and I am interested in getting a heat gun for this purpose. What specific parts of the phone did you reflow/heat? (in terms of the chips, or the entire board.)
Thanks in advance.

What part of the phone did you reheat exactly? The whole phone? or did you take all the plastic out?

Also be sure to take off the rubber part on the back. The purpose is to remelt the solder.l, so only board and nothing else.
To disassemble there are some videos on YouTube. Remove your sim card before taking off the backing
Remember this is a last resort, you could end up with a completely dead chip.

Thanks for the information. Is there a specific way you have to remove the shields, or do I use a soldering iron to get it off? (And if so, does it do any good to solder them back on?)

Did it 395 degrees Fahrenheit (201.66 Celsius) for 7 minutes, I preheated the oven. The camera and everything now works fine.

You shouldn't have to use a soldering iron to take anything off. At least not as far as I am aware of.
I should note that as of this morning my phone when blank and will no longer turn on. I will try reflowing at a higher temperature as some solder may need a higher heat but I am not optimistic that this is a permanent fix.
Hey everyone !
First try to connect it in emergency mode to the computer in order to flash with LG UP. If you cannot boot into emergency mode but the device appers on your computer ( and PC is unable to connext into GF2) maybe you could burn your motherboard.
I burn one 7 months ago with my device resting on my pocket so its a common problem for this device (as official support told me so its full covered by guarantee )
Hope you can solve soon !!!
