I was replacing the touchscreen of my Xperia J when I broke a small cable.
It connects two circuit boards. It's the cable that the guy is handling at about 2:30 in this video.
Here is also a picture of the cable.
I would like to know the name of this cable so I can buy a new one from eBay or something
I would also like to know what exactly it does. I noticed that my phone doesn't turn on without it. When I try to turn it on, it vibrates but doesn't actually turn on.

It looks like a Wifi antenna or cellular cable but i'm not sure.
that's an RF antenna. No more connections like wifi, cellular will be transmit if you removed that cable.

That audio adapter that comes with the FUZE, the one that lets you hook up earphones, another usb cable, and some other things, is acting weird on me. When I jiggle it stops playing music. Is mind just defective? Do any of you have the same problem.
Sounds like yours is defective. I dont have any problems with mine. I remember having a problem like that with one of my old sony phones due to the fact that when the charger was just placed directly into the phone the connectors were actually off by a little and didnt fully connect. some of the pins on your adapter may just be off. I would bring it back to the at&t store and see if they'll give you a new one
I received my monoprice MHL adapter, plugged the hdmi cable into it, plugged the power into it and plugged it into my phone. the phone shows HDMI hooked up and my monitor will alternate between showing whats on the phone and going to a white fuzzy screen then back to mirrored than fuzzy every couple of seconds.
I plugged my brothers sensation in and it works fine so I doubt it's the adapter, he is rooted running a custom ROM.
I am unlocked and rooted but running stock rom, T-Mobile USA version.
So I went into T-Mobile and asked about this issue, they didn't know, they called tech support who in turn told them to call HTC. They gave me HTCs number, I called and explained what was going on, HTC tells me the phone ISN'T MHL compatible, that we're supposed to use the media link dongle, which costs about $100.
He suggested I try just a straight up micro hdmi cable to my tv instead.
So an older phone (sensation) has the ability, but this new high tech, best of the bunch phone can't do it, what a bunch of ****.
Edit: OK, I figured out the issue, I was running an HDMI to VGA cable to my monitor, since the monitor is a VGA connection. I then went ahead and hooked it up to another monitor that had a straight HDMI connection and it worked perfect, so VGA HDMI cable no good, straight up hdmi to hdmi works great!
Edit 2: So I just tried the MHL adapter again with the vga HDMI cable, and now it works. It's like it needed one cable to make it work and now it will work with the other, nothing changed except that I tried it another TV.
a HDMI to VGA cable? as long as you dont have special equipment this cable can't be used for anything HDMI is a completly digital standard. DVI is digital + analog so a VGA - DVI adapter is possible, but HDMI to analog is without special hardware impossible.

You are correct sir, my bad, it is a DVI cable. So just replace VGA with DVI in my first and second post.
The cable I have is this one.
Thanks.
Okay. Could be a problem with HDCP.

I'n having this issue too.. still unresolved
My MHL came in 2 days back. Hooking the phone up keeps alternating between what's on the phone and the white noise screen. I have a straightup HDMI cable going from the MHL to my LCD TV.
Any suggestions are welcome

OK, I noticed if i just go and hook up my cable to the mhl the problem comes back, the solution is to hook everything up to the phone, then reboot the phone and the problem will be gone. One other thing is make sure you have your media volume turned up as it affects sound output, so if your media volume is muted, it will also be muted or whatever volume the phone is set at. I thought I was nuts when there wasn't any sound coming from my stereo until I realized that I had my volume all the way down.
DO the reboot thing and it should work no problems, also, our phones don't need to be plugged in to your power cord to use the MHL, so I'm wondering if the MHL adapter is even necessary for us if we can live without the power cord needing to be attached.

Thanks.. Will try and circle back..
Re: The power cord, not sure if it's 'needed' but I'm guessing without external power the phone wouldn't last an hour.
Seperate issue - When I last tried, I was playing around with it and the phone heated to a point it was slightly uncomfy holding the phone.

Yup, without the external battery going to the phone it will drain dramatically. I also noticed the heating issue you mentioned.

Update: So I tried hooking up all the cables to my phone, restarted the phone and then plugged it into the TV. It still gives me same results unfortunately. I get a display but it keeps going away every few seconds and the white noise screen appears.
What a buzzkill... My old phone (Sensation) was flawless in this respect
Got my watch and my first attempt at making a charge cable is a no go, can anyone help with the following:
Do the pins on the watch need to be pushed down?
Is it only pins 1 + 4 that need connecting?
When the watch is completley dead does it take a while while on charge to see anything happening, I connect my cable and dont see any sign its charging??
Also taking apart a USB extension cable seems to be the perfect solution as the pins are the right way round to connect to the watch once you take apart the metal housing.
Please help

No when you connect the wire immediately you have to see the battery icon on the screen then when you long press
the power button it has to vibrate and Sony logo will appear on the screen. Maybe you have a short on cable or the watch itself it is defect.
I have my cable defective and I make one as that in the pictures from a flat USB cable.
Hi all.
I've got a really weird problem with my shiny new Z5c. It refuses to charge when put in my Philips dock. I've got a Philips Fidelio AS111 (a speaker with a micro-usb-connector to put into the phone). All other phones I've tried charges with it without problems. The Z5c charges without problem with all other ways I've tried (cable to wall plug and cable to compuber). Just the combination Z5c vs AS111 doesn't work, it's like it doesn't get any current from the connector at all.
I'm thinking this might have something to do with how Sony got the phones connector water proof. Could they have done something that could affect the charging? Any other ideas? Anyone else with this problem?
/Daniel
It sounds like the dock may not output enough power. Are you sure it's getting plugged in all the way as well?
Try this method...
Connect your phone to Speaker and open Setting > Device Connection > USB Connectivity and find Detect USB Device...
I hope that's work for you...
Sometime i try to read my flashdisk through OTG, and i must detect usb device....
Sorry for my english

Yep, it goes all the way in. I've also tried wiggling it around a bit, nothing at all.
If it's simply not enough current, shouldn't the phone charge anyway, just slower? It seems strange that it should be so low that the phone doesn't even recognize it as a power source. Guess I could measure on it though. Question is how I get my voltmeter down there

Nope. Nothing. The phone just says nothing is connected. Mind you though that the phone isn't supposed to communicate with the dock using the usb port (it uses Bluetooth for that), the usb port is just for charging.
Thing is though that it isn't just a dead stupid usb port. When connecting another phone, the dock feels that something is connected and it then turns it's Bluetooth on (which is indicated by a little blinking led). When I connect the Z5c nothing of this happens, like the dock doesn't notice the phone being there at all.
My guess is that Sony did something fancy with the port to get it water proof. Something that doesn't follow the standard. Question is what...
/Daniel
+1 No charging on As111.
I read somewhere that the dock doesn't have the necessary output. Maybe the phone's fast charging capability has made the old Phillips obsolescent?
But bluetooth connection is fine - I used the phillips dockstudio app. So at least i got a bedside clock ...
Ah! At least I'm not alone, that is a good thing.
I've contacted both Philips and Sony support about this. Philips support just concluded that the dock and the phone isn't compatible (thank you mr Obvious), Sonys support hasn't answered yet. I don't have any big hopes for them solving it.
I really want this solved though. I love my AS111, it's the perfect place to charge the phone. As you say, the bt works fine, but having the phone laying next to the dock with a charging cable plugged in really feels stupid :-/
To be continued...
/Daniel
Well, I have a similar problem: If the Z5c is docked into my samsung dockingstation, only a message tone comes up, but no charging! Also an App which is automatically started when charging comes up shortly, but is closed after 2 seconds.

Same thing with philips as 351 dock. It does not charge xperia z5c phone. I think sony phones have a probleme with philips docs. The thing is what kind an incompability, hardware or software?

I guess it's the same with all Philips Fidelio docking devices for Android. Seems like they simply don't deliver power when they don't detect any connected device and for some reason they don't detect the Z5c. Since it's the exact same problem even when the phone is totally shut down it must be some kind of hardware issue.
Question is exactly how the dock detects connected phones...
/Daniel
Hi Daniel
Any new info on this question?
Anybody got good experience with other charging docks for Z5c, with bluetooth speaker and clock?
Not really. I did some measuring, and on a normal micro usb charger there's always 5 volts over the outermost two pins. On the micro usb contact of the Fidelio there isn't. The logical explanation would be that the dock only delivers power when it senses a connected phone and for some reason it doesn't sense the Z5c being connected. Don't really know where to go from that

So I bought a second hand Nexus 5 with a defective spekaer (the one for making calls) and microphone. I wanted to fix it so I bought replacement parts from Aliexpress (the earpiece speaker and the charging flex cable since that is what the microphone is connected to). When I had repleced them the screen wouldn't turn on anymore.. It stayed black no matter what I did. I noticed there was some backlight though.. I noticed some things:
1. It vibrated when I turned it on.
2. It gave a low battery notification sound when it was finished booting.
3. My computer plays the sound like it detects something when I connect it but nothing appears in explorer or device manager.
I tried putting the old flex cable in but that didn't work..
What could I try?
Look carefully at the connections on the motherboard and the connecting cables to see if there are any damaged parts.

Nope I checked that
Look in the attachement to see how everything is connected..
Maybe something happened when you were changing the flex cable as that seems to be the only explanation since the screen doesn't work with the original and replacement part.

What could be damaged then?
First thing that comes into my mind is that you did not/forgot to connect the LCD flex cable or the lcd cable is broken or the lcd is broken.
The backlight and the lcd display should be two separate things, 1 might work but the other might not.
You can try tapping on the screen to see if anything happens to it or try to call your phone and see if you can pick up the call.
Also, did it work before you change the cables? are you sure the microphone and speaker are the only thing broken in the phone?

I will try that. I just plugged it into my pc to charge it and it detected it and showed it in the device manager. This is without the plates over the PCB's, I don't know if that matters..
Yeah I tested it before I took it apart and it worked fine except for the speaker and microphone.
The cable leading from the motherboard to the LCD is in the upper right hand corner of the phone, near the headphone jack.
