Htc Replaced my motherboard and Receiver??

I really want to know exactly what this means. If the motherboard is replaced, what is really left of the original device?
What is the receiver?
So basically I have a new phone minus the screen and the body of the phone?
Thanks for any information you can give me.

Thanks for the link and response.

Anyone willing to grab me their FM radio software?

I don't know if this would be as easy as a CAB, but I know the G-sensor calibrator was easily enough removed from the Raphael ROM to be used on Diamonds... My Raphael didn't come with the G-sensor calibration tool, so that was useful to me. Can anyone get the software out of their Raphael for the FM radio so I can see if my device even has the hardware necessary for it?

Cobbled together from the package in my Diamond ROM, but I have no way of testing it on the Raphael ('cause mine already has the Radio), other than to say that the cab installs without an error.
See how it goes...

Well, good news and bad news. "Your wired headset serves as an FM antenna..."
I don't have a wired headset. BUT, so far so good, it installed and ran without a problem! Thanks so much.

Ah. Another reason why we all despise AT&T soo much. Taking out the case and headset from the box. I mean seriously, why such cheapstakes?

No, they may come with it... I got mine in a regular brown box since it's a pre-release model, didn't even have retail packaging. Came with charger, USB cable, and phone. That's it.

What do you think would happen if I were to try installing this on my wing? lol

nothing unless your wing has the hardware for an FM radio included on it's main board

Yeah says it's not signed or missing one or more componets... would have been cool

Nah. Have you ever seen any HTC phone that came to AT&T with a headset or case? I haven't. And I'm sure I won't since AT&T are cheapstakes.

Well, 15 year olds always know better than people who actually have the money to buy these phones...

Black, any copper wire going into the jack should act as an antenna. You should be able to test it by just plugging a USB cable into it. Then obviously use the speaker on the phone to see if you get sound. Reception probably won't be as good as if you used headphones, but if you at least get some static, you know you're good to go once you get headphones.

Nah it won't work I've got a usb cable plugged into mine right now but it's still asking for headphones. Thinking about it, it must know when you've connected headphones rather than a usb cable so it can mute the speaker.
My Touch Pro headphones were still sitting in the box until 5 minutes ago! The FM radio also works on the headphones that came with my Vario II, which I prefer cos they have a volume control on them, but the reception is much better on the Touch Pro headphones - probably because the Vario II ones weren't designed to be used as an antenna.

8125 came with case & headset from Cingular (ATT).
Lets not sweat the small stuff. Jus tbe glad they don't disable all the features of the device to make you use their services like some other providers.

anyone with a dash, kaiser, etc should have a headset you can use. I'd love to see if this works...
p.s. Cingular/AT&T paid to NOT have them included in the box so they can sell you the accessories. The MPx220 from Cingular was the only iteration that didn't have the headphones. I had to buy them seperately.

headphones / aux cable disables mic

ive searched for a few hours and have noticed that this is a problem that other devices have as well....
for me this makes my car dock that i bought pointless....i saw there was a work around for the EVO that required bending a connector inside...id rather not do that for the TB but willing to try if last resort and if anyone knows how to
has there been any other work around for this?
the car dock instructions even tell you to plug audio cable in! i dont get it.....and this is only while making calls....the Voice search works fine
any help is very appreciated thanks guys...

anyone? i really dont want to have to buy an adapter with mic on it...

Actually, what you need to do, just buy this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...49206&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2654wt_1139
I just ordered it. It says that is for iphone. However, it works same way to Thunderbolt. It is worth to try.
If you doubt, you can find other things, similar like that.

That sucks considering the mic setup on the TB isn't too shabby. Maybe it can be fixed in a firmware update?

i dunno because from doing many searches, it seems like this happens on a lot of other devices for a long time now..
is this something a custom ROM could fix?

Check your HDMI port

My HDMI port was a dud. Getting a replacement. Just FYI.

Mine is a dud also. Haven't requested a replacement as of yet because I'm assuming all the G2x have problems. I'm waiting for the "Fixed" batches to get here.

Oh really? Hmm. My first one G2X's hdmi worked and my friend's also works.

My HDMI port works great with a generic 6' cable.

I think mine is a dud too..i got a warranty replacement because my old one was overheating like crazy, then this one is doing the same thing... ?? .... but this one the HDMI doesn't work...the one before this the HDMI stopped working as well.....could it be clockworkmod? things did start going hinky on both phones after i installed that....hmmmm, maybe i will test it w/ stock recovery..just to see....i doubt it tho....

I have clockwork recovery with external SD and HDMI works fine

I thought my HDMI out was totally borked, but it works if you jam the plug in really, really hard.
Any movement of the phone/cord causes tearing on screen and then cuts out, making it useless in general. Tried 3 different cord. Grrrr....

I got one from Amazon that didn't work [thought it was the phone]. Picked one up at Best Buy yesterday {$30 ouch} and it works.

I bought one from Amazon. It works fine when my phone is displayed on the TV. But if I try to play a video it shows a few seconds then goes black and then repeats.
Weird.

What a load of crap!!! My HDMI port doesn't work either! Thats not the real issue though, I can't believe T-Mobile would charge me 9.99 to ship me a new device??? 39 Billion from AT&T and they still want to nickel and dime me. I tried to fight it, but the lady was extremely rude.

FYI, I have an April 26th batch of G2x with a HDMI cable I bought off Ebay and it works with no problems.

Mine works with the Casio 6 foot cable I purchased from Amazon. I did notice that you have to apply a bit more pressure than expected in order to assure that the cable is fully seated. It seems that the HDMI cover gets in the way a bit and the extra force is what's required to push past it.
Edit: Forgot to mention that my G2x was purchased from T-mobile on 4/20/11 with a manufacture date of 4/05/11.

XIaomi Mi5S Plus 4+64 GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi 2.4 low signal

Hi, I've got an issue with my Mi5S Plus phone.
It finds only 4-5 sattelites via GPS while other phone finds 21.
Bluetooth works within 2-3 meters only.
Wifi 2.4 Hz works in 5-6 meters max and shows low signal strength.
Meanwhile Wifi 5 Hz works pretty well.
LTE works ok.
It's chinese phone with Global ROM 9.6.2.0 installed.
Mac adress in about phone is not empty.
Is that hardware or software issue?
Looks like antena issue but where is it and where are antena connectors in Mi5S Plus?
Will flash of ROM help? (I did not try it yet)
Any help is highly appreciated! I face such issue for the first time and searching the internet does not help.

open the phone, the antenna for anything except cellular are the tiny pogo connector that should be in contact with the respective pads in the back case...
clean the back case's pad for the respective contact points and try it again...

@dogrishin were you able to fix it?

Thank you Crescendo again! I finally succeeded to fix it.
Chinese seller broke connector in the left upper corner of PCB when he disassembled phone to flash Global ROM via ETL loader I suppose.
I had to solder another connector and so now it's finally working as it should: Wifi 2.4, bluetooth, GPS signals are strong.
So it was 100% hardware issue, not related to software.
For other guys with same issue I advice to disassemble according to video on YouTube:
"Как разобрать Xiaomi Mi5s Plus (2016070) Разборка и ремонт"
And if you have same issue, bring it to repairman so he will solder you another connector fast and cheap.

thanks for the clear photo & pinpoint accuracy.
I can only guess the connectors coz they're plenty on top part of the phone... [emoji38]
Mine's not broken but the GPS (only the GPS) signal is weak... weaker than my wife's, same model same configs.
it all happened after I opened the phone for cleaning..., maybe the pin isn't making good contact with the antenna, I'll reopen it tom & try to bend it forward carefully...
again thanks for the clear explanation & photo...
glad it's all ok for you...

@dogrishin is it possible to repost the photos of the connector that you have fixed, they're gone from tinypic (perhaps upload to imgur or somewhere)
@Crescendo Xenomorph have you figured out which connector specifically is the GPS antenna?
I have the same problem after I had to disconnect and re-connect the battery. I haven't broken any pins or replaced anything in the phone but after putting it back together the GPS signal is insanely weak. Takes forever for a position fix and keeps losing it after. Also Wi-Fi is dead one wall away from the router. I've carefully bent all the pins a bit towards the back-case today and had no great improvement.

I think it's the second one from the top right, coz I broke mine & the wifi is gone...
Had to get it replaced to makewifi work again, but my take is usually just fix all connectors inside since I can't be sure....

@kaboom83 sorry for sooo late reply, but I could not find original photos....so now I just accidentally have found them and reuploaded to imgur. Here they are
