What are these ( circled on my image ) on the board?
Are these by any chance little caps protecting unused connectors?
or simply they are just dummy/unused placeholders?
Thanks a lot

After googling a lot, now I know that the right hand one is not a connector as that is the main switch for the phone.
The left one is still a mistery. What I've meant is the white square with the red X-s on.
Is this you mean to be battery pins?
Thanks
Aren't those water ingress markers?

Hi All,
I have a Touch HD and I am looking at replacing my battery.
I have noticed that the genuine HTC 1350mV part no: 35H00120-01M has 2 metal contacts on the top right and left corners of the flat side of the battery.

All the non-genuine batteries do not have these 2 metal 'contacts' on the flat side of the battery.
When I put a multimeter across them, it shows that they are connected to each other, but not connected to the actual battery terminals. By that I mean, there is no voltage drop when I connect one of these terminals to any one of the main power terminals of the battery.
I have looked at the HTC_Blackstone_Service_Manual and it shows that these contacts connect to metal plate. This plate could be a shield or a heat sink for the battery.
Can anyone advise me just what are these 2 contacts used for?
Are they necessary?
Will my reception suffer?
If all 3rd party batteries don't come with these, can I assume they are not needed?
If they are not needed, then why did HTC see fit to have them in place?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I wanted to share a photo of probably fake HTC charger:

}
Could anyone show me how original looks like ? Because this one above makes really nasty touch screen interference on my i9000
I too have got this charger, I got it from amazon and this is I think the 4th item I have got from them that I suspect to be counterfeit. Mine gets really hot and smells like the components are burning inside. I do have a original charger the same style but I'm reluctant to take it apart, I can confirm that it is very different looking, also the plug section should twist to come of and be replaced by euro or US adapers I suspect. I also get unresponsive touch screen while charging too.
Sorry for posting in such an old thread. I have a very similar fake charger. Mine was marked "For Samsung", despite being an imitation of an HTC charger. I'm also having problems with it (calls end unexpectedly while charging and music stops playing after a few seconds).
Can you show the rear of your charger's PCB, please?
Thanks in advance.
I exchanged my prime for an Infinity and I noticed something that could be either a minor annoyance or a major build issue. As you know the charging wire has ASUS and a small triangle on it so you know which side is up when you plug the tablet in. On mine the label is on the wrong side; OR they installed the charging piece in the tablet upside down. If the tablet is built wrong then I can never use a dock so I would need to exchange the tablet.
Can someone look at their charging port and cable and compare to the attached pics and tell me which one is messed up. I think the wire is just labelled on the wrong side.

Looking at your images and at my tablet, and I have the dock as well. yours is okay, it seems they have just put the sticker on the wrong side of your plug.

Hi Folk..
it is been 2 years that we know about the Mystery Reset Button at the back of the Galaxy SL.
it was located in between the Camera lens and the Speaker Block.
today, i will revert the Magic behind it.:fingers-crossed:
This is the back of the GSL, the dent round spot beside the speaker block is the mystery button we know about

Un cover the back housing, we can see that, the area of the dent round port below are those SMD mount component which do not look like a button to me.
Have a closer look (sorry for the burr photo, the dam GNex lens)
OK, Folks, IF you continue to push that area harder and harder, you may spoiled you IC mount below the "RESET BUTTON" also you may loosen the connector of your headphone
PS: If I make your look stupid, i'm so sorry
Why are you trying to do this? What will happen? Please give a note. Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda app-developers app
So simply, THERE IS NO RESET BUTTON! Why did they even put a dent there...
I bought Moto G on the ebay.co.uk. It came with this connector that I saw for the first time. It has some kind of a notch in the top middle and there is no space between pins and bottom of plug. Can someone identify it for me. I searched all over Google and couldn't find it. I must buy usb cable, but don't know what to search for... Thanks!

It's supposed to be a regular micro USB, and yours looks identical to mine except for what looks like a round object above the pins - is something stuck in there?
Obviously all connectors are the same, micro USB.
That one has clearly a piece of plastic stuck and pressing the pins up.
It was a piece of plastic pushing the whole connector down. I got afraid that it was some kind of non-standard connector :laugh:. Removed it and it is OK. Thanks everyone for help.
Probably the previous owner noticed that the connector wouldn't fit and sold it because he thought the phone was useless?

No, it was BNIB. Must be something in the production. I hope that that piece of plastic won't be missed somewhere..
