So... I bought an 8525 off e-bay. I've been working with if for a couple months now and it has been pretty stable. Upgraded to the latest ROM. SID unlocked it. All in all, I've been pretty happy with it.
However, looks like the USB port has developed a bit of a break from the motherboard. Very spotty connection to any USB cable; including the power adapter.
On my AT&T account, I am listed as having a Blackjack. I switched on MyCingular to show a 8525. BUt I doubt that changes anything on the back end.
So my question... Will Cingular do a replacement on this since I bought it used? If not, is there a way to get HTC to do a repair? Any insight would be helpful before I start working my way through the phone support maze.
Regards,

I have an O2 XDAII that I'm using in the US with T-Mobile... and now the sync/power port at the bottom is hosed... it won't connect to either power or for data sync unless you hold the cable at a specific angle. This is not a problem with the connector since I have 1 cradle and 2 difference sync cables and its broke with all.
This sucks
I bought the XDAII off Ebay from another user less than a year ago (I don't know when the original purchase from O2 was)... can anyone tell me if there is a warranty, is it transferable and where/who I call to see if I can get this fixed.
Otherwise, anyone have any clues about how to fix it myself and/or where to get parts.
I have an xda exec, which i have had for over a year now and i have been very happy with it... until a couple of weeks ago the mini usb port detached itself from the mainboard :-( Ive read about it happening before on here... but i have no warranty now so im looking for anyone who can help. The mini USB port is also now damaged. I looked at re-soldering it back on but im not good enough to do that... I guess ideally im after another universal with a broken screen or something so as i can make one good one from 2 bad... and then save up a little more towards an athena...
Pocketpctechs will repaire it for $60(including parts &larbor)

Thanks for the link - really useful... im contacting them to see if they can supply a replacement mainboard to the UK as that is where im based, if not i can look at posting it over i guess... Many Thanks - Dave
i brought a stand alone charger that you pop your battery in! pain in the ass but if you have two batterys its all good then use bluetooth to sync and install your apps and files im in the UK too
Yeah, thats exactly what i have done in the short term... but after upgrading my old XDA IIs yesterday to Windows Mobile 6 i fancy seeing what sort of improvements are available for my Universal.
On a side question can you sync over wifi?
you used to be able to but there was security concerns so they removed it from activesync if you have an old copy of active syncc then yes...
Hi,
My mini-B usb female connector (for charging and usb connectivity etc) is broken...
I need to find a replacement,
but I don't know what model it's exactly..
I don't what to end up ordering something I can't use :]
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
What is the Make/Model of your phone. Either you can send it to the original manufacturer/vendor if still under warranty or you can order from ebay.First know the maker and model No # of your phone like T-mobile,cingular,i-mate or At&tt etc and model like T-mobile MDA,vario, etc etc,ok
Cheers !
I have mine from www.techcenter.fr
It's an HTC Wizard, Wiza200. (Qtek in fact)

bioChaz-
My USB connector is broken as well. Have you replaced one yourself? I want to know how hard it would be to do, because I'm thinking of ordering the part and attempting it.
what about ppc techs. they repair and sell that part.
I've done it a bunch of times...it definitely takes a few trys before u get it right...if ur familiar w/ soldering then it should be fairly easy, but if not...it might be worth paying some one to do it for u...if the pads are ripped from the motherboard then they have to be retraced...that is even harder...then it is worth paying to have it fixed for sure...otherwise, there is always the upgrade
upgrade? i wish. bought mine off the streets. thanks

I knew I'd be able to get this part from DigiKey/Mouser, but I was just never sure which was the right one so I never bothered.
Thanks!
Hello All,
I have enjoyed reading other threads to find out more about my HTC 3333.
I have had my Touch 2 for a couple of months now, however lately, and quite frequently, I receive this annoying message 'the device doesnt support the USB headset. Please remove it.' There is nothing attached to the USP port, yet this message appears. I have used the USB port for synching with my laptop and have used the factory supplied cable as well as a standard mini USB cable.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Your valued opinions and advice would be appreciated
I have never seen this on my phone. It could be rom bug, or on the other hand it could be from a program you recently installed.
I thought a busted rom might be the problem so uploaded the latest rom from the HTC site. After installing the latest rom from HTC all the programmes and files on the phone were wiped but the message keeps appearing... I figure now I might have done some physical damage to the USB port.. I am not looking forward to sending my phone to HTC care for repair..
Even my HTC got the same issue. I think, as we had given with 3.5mm port the USB headset has disable.
Have you noticed any other mobile working with USB ? I dont think so ......
I found on another thread, another HTC user had a similar problem. The solution they said was to clean out the USB port because it had filled up with lint and other junk from their pocket. I just cleaned it as best I could with a soft bristled brush and will wait and see if that has helped reduce frequency of the warning sign popping up! It's a minor problem but it's enough to drive you mad! :
If this doesnt help, then for sure its a USB problem. You might wanna send it to repair service or use only bluetooth.
I have a brand new phone, which also gives this message. I did assume it was due to the presence of the 3.5mm port.
I had same problem a couple months ago. You should give the phone your technical service because there is a problem on your mainboard
I think the problem may only be with the USB cable you are using. I had this warning with one cable I bought in China, but not with the original cable. My original cable has just died so I pulled out the cable from china and the warning comes back.
ok so i have be having trouble connecting my phone via usb to the computer. After 6 months of this problem and reading multiple solutions online i decided to replace my usb port for a second time thinking it was a defective port. Turns out their is a transistor on the back side of where the usb ribbon connects to the motherboard which looks to be damaged. Anyone know of a place where i could get this repaired. I'm in CT but any trust worth places would be appreciated.
