Need help (Qtek2020)

Hi all
yesterday, while trying to put my device into my jeans pocket, i left it and it fall down to the ground... No damage at the moment after a first check... everything ok... BUT... after coming back home, i've put it into the connection base and anything happened... i've tried softreset but anything happened too.... so i've noticed, looking at the bottom of the qtek, that the port for the cable/base connection wasn't ok.
Here is the problem.... i get no activesync connection or power charging because the port is damaged... i've found that this port moves in every direction and so it isn't well attached to the mainboard. So i decided to disassemble the device to understand what is the problem whit my qtek.
After disassembling it, i noticed that the port has lost the weld that locks it to the mainboard...
And now??? What to do??? The port is completely detached and i think that there is no way to weld it again to the MB.
I'm out of warranty time too and i think that the warranty doesn't cover this kind of problem even because the technician will understand the reason of the unwelding.... and even because i'm not using my original rom from qtek....
So i thought one thing... is there any way to find a cable to connect the device from the port that i found just under the battery??? Where can i find the right cable??? And will it be usefull to get back again all the functionalities???
Please help.... i don't want to break up from my qtek so soon.... and i would like to wait few months before to buy a new device... (universal).
Hope someone will give me some advices... or suggestions.
Bye.... MINDGAP.

Anyone's got an advice for me??? Anyone can help???
I'm in troubloe here and i would like to understand if i could make my own cable to use from the back door port that i found under the battery cover of my device.
I tried to look in the himalaya wiki page but i found anything about this port.... only connection for the main port... that i can't use anymore because it's completely distroyed....
Please help me i can't believe that i'have to throw away my pocket pc only because of this problem....
What i would like to understand is if i can weld the port back again to the MB or even to give power from the port that is placed under the battery to use it only like Navigator in my car.
Please let me know if i can find a cable or a different solution in order to get my device back with all functionalities... i could even send the device to someone who could repair it and send it back again.
I would pay to have it back repaired.
Hope someone will help.
Thanks and have a nice day!

some images from the disaster!!!!
ok... here u are some images taken this afternoon.... featuring my POOR DEVICE..... terribly wounded.... almost dead!!!!
Hope these images will help you in trying to find a solution....
THIS IS THE SITUATION HERE.......

THE CONNECTOR IS FULLY DETACHED FROM THE MB.... AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BUY ONE BRAND NEW... OR IF I CAN USE THIS ONE AGAIN.......
HERE U ARE TWO IMAGES OF THE MB WITHOUT THE CONNECTOR... AS U CAN SEE.... THE MB IS NOT DAMAGED AT ALL..... AND I THINK THAT THERE COULD BE A WAY TO RESOLD THE CONNECTOR......
ONE DOUBT ABOUT THIS LAST PICTURE.... IS THE SECONDARY PORT USABLE???? WHERE CAN I FIND A CABLE OR CONNECTOR THAT MATCH WITH IT????
LAST PICTURES SHOW THE STATUS OF THE CONNECTOR AND THE CAGE THAT PROTECTS IT.... IS THERE ANYWAY TO USE THEM AGAIN???
I HOPE THAT SOMEONE HAS SOME SOGGESTIONS FOR ME BECAUSE AFTER A SEARCH ON THE FORUM I FOUND ONLY INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONNECTORS BUT NOT IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO SOLDER AND TO BUY A NEW ONE.......
Thanks in advance just for reading this post.... and thanks much more for answering.....

if this is still a problem for you and all else has failed then I would be preperd to try and resoulder the connection for you I do have all the right equipment and I have experance as I have chiped sevreal Xboxs and thay have a fue fiddley bits plus I was traned to militry spec in solderin at EEV but there is no garantee but from what I have seen I may well be able to do the job. You can pm me in here and I will be watching this thred.

Well I've had also this problem once. I have broken this connector off the board with the charging adapter from charger. Anyway it isn't too difficult to repair that if you are a bit handy. Just use a micro-solder and carefuly sold the connector back.
Important:
1. Don't plug the battery while you repair that!
2. Use the rosin to prevent decant the pewter on the pins
3. Use the pewter-suction band to remove the pewter from the connector if is it too much
4. When finished,use a mechanical tools to remove the rest of the rosin. Don't use alcohol based solvents(I have damaged the JoyStick with Isopropyl-Alcohol)!
5. Ensure that all pins are solded separately and no pins are bridged by soldering!
Probably this will result as a Hard-reset,because the repair will take probably more than 30mins without battery or you can short-circuit the backup battery. Therefore backup all your data(WM5-Only RAMdisk).

In the meantime, you could still communicate with your wounded beast say using Activesync over Bluetooth (that will sort out your sync issues and allow you to have an up to date copy of your data). Similalry if you have or can get an SD card you can dunp copies of data onto that too.
Also if you can get your hands on a second battery quickly enough, use the cradle to keep one bat on charge while using the other in the device. Regularly swap over will mean that you can at least use your Himam until you are in a position to solder new/old parts.

Can some one post a topic or a detailed manual on how to disassemble the hima?
Regds Aldo

...
You need to remove the black antenna cover. After that is it easy. Just few screws. Remove all parts in cover neighbourhood(card,stylus,antenna connector cap). Then release both hooks located at the top of the battery with your nail or small screwdriver pushed into the stylus hole and at the volume-slider location. After that release fixings in surround of the card slot. Do it easily and carefully! Otherwise you can break the plastic. You can find also the service manual at wiki.xda-dev,but DON'T do it that way! That procedure is wrong.

Disassaemble
Can anyone send some pictures on how to disassemble the qtek. Which screws do we need to pull out and how do you do that?

hi i did assemble the connector my self , but i m in Egypt , Cairo ...if you like call me on my handy

Broke my Tytn II mini-usb slot

Hello, today I found that my mini-usb slot is broken. What i mean is that the pins are mixed/ probably cause i have not seen the problem for some time/ and the plastic thing between the pins is missing, so may be new slot has to be put. Any idea where I can find mini-usb slot and what is it called ? Is it easy to replace it myself ?

Search in the main Kaiser forum and you will find tons about this

Replacing EMU mini usb connection
If you're good at micro-soldering then you can replace the EMU (mini usb port) for the TYTN, Tilt, 8525, etc. You can purchase the connector (11 pin) from eBay for $3 plus $5 shipping from Hong Kong. You'll need to remove any memory cards, SIM cards, stylus etc from your phone and remove the 4 screws on the back. To remove you'll need an A5 (i think i used an A5) screwdriver (mini star screwdriver). Once removed, pop out the battery cover release tab and GENTLY lift the circuit board up (you'll need to gently pry the plastic retaining tabs that hold the board in). You only need to lift it up an inch or so - enough to get your soldering iron in.
Once the board it up, there are two 'feet' on the EMU that have been soldered to the board on the top and two more feet that are inserted into the board that were also soldered in. If you have the new EMU in front of you, you'll see the feet that im talking about. Place your iron tip on these joints and get them to free up. Next, place your tip lengthwise on the 11 pins at the rear of the connector as they are soldered on. Once free, you're able to remove the old EMU.
Place the new EMU in place and solder the 4 feet in 1st, making sure that the 11 pins are aligned as best as possible. Once the feet are soldered in, use a magnifying glass to ensure that all 11 pins are EXACTLY aligned. Touching your soldering gun tip to each of these pins will re-heat the old solder that's still on the board and secure the new pins so there is no need for new solder on here.
Put the phone back together and power up - all should be good!

Wow, that be some serious soldering. Personally, I'd just pick up another Kaiser on ebay for about $165 and be happy...you can even sell yours for parts if you wish.

WOW djbmw:
Man that is crazy, My USB is bent and I was toying with doing it myself, you helped me from doing a big mistake. I can't solder that small. I AM SO VERY THANKFUL. Anyways, my fix was to get a 3 in 1 adapter that fits the weird size of the USB for top and bottom connections (I think the bottom of the center piece is audio). Since the adapter has top and bottom connections around the USB, it holds the center piece in place and makes the connections needed. I just have to carry the adapter everywhere.

i had a similiar issue, broke extUSB port, i just took my tilt into an At&t device support center and they changed the device on the spot.

Nice to know, I was thinking about attempting this but luckilly, my device was still under warranty. I just brought home my new Tilt today. This is my 3rd Tilt, if it happens again, ATT will upgrade me to a Fuze for free. Honestly, I like the Tilt better, but I might give the Fuze a try for a little while until the Fuze 2 (Touch Pro 2) comes out.

i had a similar problem with mine

thats where i sent my fone to get fized

It looks intimidating, I know,.. but it wasnt that bad if you have the basic tools that I listed above (appropriate screw driver to remove the bolts, soldering iron with fine tip, thin silver solder wire, flux, magnifying glass, needle (to move the 11 prongs into place)) - all of which will cost you like $20-$25 to purchase brand new if you dont already have them.
For me, i couldnt be without my phone for a few days to send it off and get repaired,.. plus I find the $80+ repair bill ludacris when the part is $5 and it takes less then 30 min to complete so I decided to tackle the challenge.
If your 11 pin EMU is currently bent you'll probably have to replace it sooner then later. If I were you, i'd order in the part from eBay as it'll take 2 or 3 weeks to arrive anyway. Even if you do end up bringing it into someone - if you have the part already then you can negotiate how much they'll charge you (since then its only 20-30 min of work).

I have searched high and low and just cannot find the 11 pin HTC ExtUSB port connector on the Internet or eBay. I have a HTC 6800 Mogul and the pins inside the port are badly bent and two are broken off.
Can anyone direct me to a source where I can get this connector for cheap to the US?
thx

This is where I ordered one on EBAY a few weeks ago (I assume yours is same as mine for Tilt):
http://www.auctiva.com/stores/viewstore2.aspx?id=69076&styleid=83

I found the charger port on eBay from a US seller.
I took the phone apart to get a close look at the connector. Going to be a challenge for me as this is some fine soldering.
I have a 15 watt solderer. It has a fairly thin tip but seems big for the job. What size of tip is best?

Is there someone I could pay to fix it for me? like at a store or something?
Also I heard if u get that ugly jack the one that 3in one jack that has another mini-usb out and another headphone jack it will work again?? is this true??

I did order one of the plugs and soldered it in and the phone charging does not work. It may have been a poor solder job or something else got shorted in one of the internal circuits. The phone works fine but the battery needs to be charged externally and switched every day or two.
You can get the plug replaced by a shop but one local phone store quoted me a hundred bucks, more than the phone is worth.
If the mini plug in the phone is what is broken then nothing else you plug into it will work. You certainly can try it it and wiggle it around a bit.
In hindsight, I believe I could have saved my plug from going bad. It did not happen overnight and it did not occur to me to check the inside of the plug and check for possible bending of the connectors inside and straighten them up a bit. I did mess with the cable ends a lot, compressing them and such to make a better connection which worked a little but I think it messed up the internal connectors more. Check those internal connectors to be straight and that might help.

its not fully broken.
I can still active sync and charge my phone, and for that I am thankful
However, when I plug in my headset jack I cannot listen to music from it

Get a BT headset solve all your problems if works for sync & charging, i picked up mine for £25 and there cans will also prove far more functional

VERY good news it still charges and syncs. What has happened is some of the connectors inside the plug are going bad or the cable that plugs the headphone into the phone plug is bad. If it is a bad cable no big deal. If it is pins inside the plug, you should be worried.
You can get music from the device via BT as suggested. But you will still be making frequent connections for battery charge and maybe synch too.
The HTC plug is a special mini-usb configuration and if the plug is the source of the problem I would seriously consider getting rid of it asap while it still works except for sound.
The plug might not get worse but odds are it will and then you are screwed, speaking from experience.
Good luck.

my experience
I haved that problem because reset hole is near usb slot and I puted in my stick in dark..but to resolve problem buyed whole second hand board for Kaiser and now have all parts for it for only 20 euro from local dealer..replacement is very cheap about 5 euro in mobile servis..

What does the complete mainboard cost? Perhaps that's better than replacing the kaiser with another one or trying to fix that ^^

I did the same thing. Lucky for me I was able to bend the pins back with a knife. I felt horrible after that but I got lucky.

[Jan 15] [Q] USB Charge Data Port connection is finicky. Please help.

Today the phone fell from the desk with the charger cable plugged into the phone. Now it won't charge/make a connection unless the USB cable is forced to plug in at a downward angle:

}
If the plug is in any other way, the phone will not recognize it.
This is bloody annoying!!! I can't charge the phone anymore unless the cable is resting on something and I can no longer listen to music in my car (since the road vibrations cause the plug to move around).
So my questions are:
Is there a way to fix this by way of opening it up and soldering?
Is there a way to replace the USB port?
I'm tempted to just ghetto rig it by creating a "lift" within the port by way of a small amount of Gorilla Glue (or similar resin)...but that seems 'temporary' to me.
So here's to hoping that someone else here has had this issue (besides stupid ol me) and happens to have a wonderful solution for this issue. Also, if it matters, I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area. So if you know someone that does this kind of phone repair, please recommend them me. Thanks!

I'll assume you ruled out the actual cable?
Just by experience with other hardware, I'd say either something is bent/broke or the solder joints opened up (most likely this, and I hope it's not surface mount...). No idea how easy/hard it is to open up a HD2, as I've been lucky enough to not have to , but once that's done, should be easy enough to inspect the connector, depending on electronics skills.

i checked the phone with 3 different cables. same symptoms.
yeah...i'm guessing (hoping) it needs a resoldering job. i suppose i should start looking for pictures of the guts.

I have exactly this as well. No desire to open my HD2 up so I've just taken to lying my wallet down next to it when I charge, and laying the wire over it. It's really annoying to have to do, though.

Hello there. Sad to hear that you have got this problem. There is nothing you can do to fix it, yourself. I had this problem for about 2 months ago, when my HD2 suddenly had the same problem, and would only charge when the usb cable was forced in a definite way. The situation is, that the micro-usb "house", solved to the mainboard, is BROKEN from the soldering. Some of the pins, is broken off, and when you push the usb cable upwards, the pins will again make a connection with the mainboard, but when you slip, it will loose the connection...
I send mine in for a repair, but HTC said that it was my own fault. They would not make a repair, unless I paid for a new mainboard. You can see picture from the repair center:
Or see my other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814053.
So what can you do now?
You can open up your HD2, to see the broken traces from usb housing, following this guide: http://pocketnow.com/hardware-1/official-htc-hd2-disassembly-assembly-training-videos-leaked - But you will quickly realize that it's IMPOSSIBLE to solder the pins. It's VERY small, and it's not only metal pins, but also some kind of micro wires, 5 pieces, and you can't just solder them...
The disassemble of HD2 it's not that hard, you will though need to buy some tools.
To get your HD2 working again: Get a new main board. From where? Good question. I looked at ebay, and searched for a very loooong, for a mainboard, but it's impossible to buy one, unless you find a hd2 on ebay with a broken screen, and the mainboard is working, for some small amounts, and change the mainboard yourself.
I waited for about 1 month for a mainboard, but couldn't find one. So i simply bought a secondhand HD2, for a small amount..
I hope this helps to clear up some things. Just PM if you have some questions.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... that's a downer.
I finally got this phone all perfect with the NAND Android.
Sigh... bummer that HTC had to make the USB housing irreplaceable.
That photo is helpful. That's out of my league. I've never soldered anything with that small of a footprint.
I'm looking for broken phones on eBay. Looks like they are going for 100 bones.
I think I'm going to try this one cell repair guy in town next week. Apparently he's a soldering virtuoso.
If that doesn't work, I guess I will have to replace the mainboard with one from eBay and hope that it doesn't have the same symptom I'm trying to rid of.
I will let you know if the repair guy has steady magic hands or not.
Truly truly frustrating...

Ah, surface mount =\ and the one in that pic actually lifted the pads themselves. If yours is anything like that pic, which I'll assume it's close, it looks like it should be possible to bridge the broken connection, but it will require a good quality temp-controlled soldering iron, fine tip, small wire, and excellent soldering skills. If the guy can hand-solder fine-pitch surface mount chips, this shouldn't be a problem.
The "fixed" connections would work, but wouldn't be 100% the strength of original. Some epoxy encompassing the connections and whole rear-end of the jack should strengthen it back up a bit.

So has anyone managed to fix this yet? Also, is there anything out there that can charge an extended battery without it having to be in the phone?

!!!SUCCESS!!!
SUCCESS!!!!*
the people i brought my phone too was able to fix it. it took a couple weeks for them to get their hands on a new USB port (apparently i destroyed it beyond repair). once they got a new one, it was soldered on.
*one slight niggle though: it takes 30 secs to transfer 100MB of data to the phone.
they "warned" me that they were able to to solder one of the pins, so data transfer may not be possible. so maybe the port is now acting as 'USB 1.0'. thankfully the only time i do data transfer is when i put MP3s and videos on it. and the occasional ROM/NAND flashing (which i don't do anymore since Cotulla/DFT's NAND Desire flash).
so besides that's little set back, i can charge/connect my phone without having to worry about losing connection to my computer or car.
but to be on the safe side, i no longer charge my phone via USB. i have purchased an external battery charger along with an extra battery. its been pretty sweet.

I've just see this post, for a couple of bucks, I think its' 70 or so u can get a charging mat, that will replace the usb charging feature. Just an idea.

Congrats! nick2k Good to know that it's doable. By the way it looks more like a rust on the image. What these guys had to say about the probable cause of that?

Click to expand...

pk2_76; Mats are using dongles, connected to a phone by the very same micro USB port. While it might reduce the number of plug/unplug events, which wearing off the connector, the dongle itself is quite bulky to keep on all the time, and also might interfere with the holsters and skins. I'm still hoping for a special back cover rumored to be available from HTC with a mat-like charging accessory.

Well I just got one of the mains chargers off ebay, waiting for it to arrive. My port's getting worse so I need it sooner rather than later. Word of warning I guess, treat the connection with care!

[HOWTO] Replace USB connector

What?
I've got a second Samsung Galaxy S which cannot get connected
to any device anymore. Tried several cables, several laptops, but
seems the USB connector is DEAD. I can get into DOWNLOAD and
in CWM, but there's no possibility to Odin my phone with the proper
Firmware, so I have to replace my connector.
Please, if you want to troll me (or thread), go ahead,
it just doesn’t bother me at all, I just want to help
What do I need?
Samsung Galaxy S
USB connector
Screwdrivers
Soldering apparatus
Enough light
A handy hand
Ehm? This is not complete?
Well, I'm not a star in soldering, so hereby I want to let see how
to achieve the replacement by opening the unit, take of plastics
things etc.
What I want to ask you guys is to help me giving tips how to
solder the USB connector on the proper way.
How-to
Take your phone with you:

Open all the screws and save them in bag or box:
Open carefully the unit with a srewdriver or plastic thing (all around):
Take off the unit:
Remove the cable:
Open the connector:
Open this connector too:
Also open this one:
Take off the printboard:
Open the connector:
Take off the unit:
So now I need to replace the old with the new one:
So who has some good advise to solder this?
Then I can make a start this afternoon

Will arrange myself a mini solder thing tomorrow!

With some of your basic tool, I think it's impossible. You will need this tool or something like it:
btw, I want to replace bezel, I can take off the printboard, but I don't know how to take off old bezel. Can you show me?
P.S: sorry for my bad English.

Basic tool with fine soldering head is fine I guess.
Are the new connectors pins prepared with solder? Then it should not be hard to resolder it after removing the old one, just make sure to use enough flux.

Soldering
You should be able to do this with basic tools! But you will need some solder wick / desoldering braid!
First, flood the connections with solder to release the connector. Then use the braid to remove the solder from the pads.
Alternatively you can cut the pins and remove them after the body of the connector has been removed (by heating each side and then gently lifting it away from the board).
Next, fit the new connector and either tape it in position or solder the tabs on the side to prevent it moving.
Next, flood the connections with solder (you will end up with solder between the pins - don't worry).
Finally, use the braid to remove excess solder.
You should find that there is enough solder remaining between the connector and PCB!
I have achieved this with a 56-pin SMT chip but I have a desoldering station (for through-hole connections, not SMT) which I used instead of the braid. It worked first time.
HTH.

Hey i just found this old thread and i also have a spare galaxy s that needs a micro usb port soldering on...did anyone manage this ?

n7300 and i9100 micro usb port replacement
I have a chinese phone n7300 with a dead usb port, I used solder wick desoldered the pin 4 pin on the side and used more solder for the 7 pin on the pcb. I managed to take the connector off. However, I cannot find the same connect online. except alibaba, which the minium quantity is 1000pc.
Would anybody tell me where I can get the connector.(it is the same as the one in pictures above for i900)

Search ebay
On how to solder this il tell you dont try if your a beginner at soldering there are copper pads under the pins of the usb and you can easily rip them off my suggestion is find a computer repair shop that repairs tvs or motherboards they will have the gear and ask them if they could solder this for you its usually cheap just bring them the phones motherboard.

I wanna know where to buy that sgs usb port for replace?
ebay maybe?

The I9001 that my friend has (I have a I9000) had a similar issue after his daughter pulled out the charging cable from the USB port. After opening it up as you did, found the usb connector pins too fine to be soldered on. Anyways, after some air blowing and cleaning with electro-cleaner, it started working again. Now running Kitkat as well!!

here you go http://www.dhgate.com/product/micro...nnector-port/170777088.html#s1-1-1|1467740713
or you can find it on ebay.

Is it possible to change full usb part (not only connector) from i9001 to i9000?

Is there any definitive solution to the usb-c port problem?

Guys there is a piece or tutorial that definitively solves the problem of the usb-c port of this device, I like it very much and I didn't want to get rid of it !!

I've thought of many solutions, however, since my my USB-C port seems fine atm, I'm not fidgeting with it.
1st thing I tried was Wireless Charging.
This video above, gave me some hope, but the youtuber has not shared links to buy what worked for him and none of the high-end Qi Wireless Charging receivers I bought worked for me.
After researching a bit and trying multiple Qi Charging Receivers, I read somewhere, Wireless Charging receivers don't play well with phones that offer any type of fast charging, which our phones do.
2nd thing I tried is getting a magnetic cable, which looks something like the image below

However, the peice that went into the phone has quite a bit of thickness and felt if the phone were to ever fall on the charging port it would break the port and generally, I did not like the aesthetics of it, it was too thick. Check this video out if you are interested in it, it's for a similar phone (Video MP4 file)
3rd thing I considered was to DIY a battery case that would connect to the port and a cover that would be thick enough to cover the port and the battery case. Would then have an alternative charging method, like wireless or USB-C. I gave up on this as my port is fine as of now, since I bought a pre-owned phone, it's been working fine.
Currently, I only use an Amazon basics certified USB-C cable to charge the phone, I do not use the company supplied cable at all.
If you want to change the charging port yourself you can search on youtube you will find a video with reasonable knowledge on how to open up your phone and change the port yourself, like this one
The port itself at the time of writing this post costs 309 INR (maxbhi link)
Hope that helps!

there's none, you can fix it, but eventually, it's gonna broken again. The actual problem is the housing, it's put much pressure on the port so it wears so easily, especially when you're using your phone when charging, which most people often do even just for checking the notification.

In my opinion,
Change the port with the OEM original and replace that goddam USB cable that came with the phone,
That cable is the culprit, I use OnePlus dash cable

I was very luck to find a repair service that fixed the internal piece of hardware (I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).
It took the guy approx. 2 hours to complete the job.
Note that he didn't replace the hardware, but fixed the original faulty component somehow instead.
If you order the OEM component from AliExpress or somewhere else and ask a technician to replace, it would take approx. 30 min.
After the job was done, the back of the phone was glued and kept strapped to the case with ribbons for half an hour.
Also I've bought a new cable, a highly recommended OEM one from Amazon. That was when the first signs of the problem emerged.
Now the fast charge is working again.
In the last few weeks of despair, I was applying pressure to the connector when attached to the port, by rising it or pushing it to the side, which only made things worse, since the internal component was absorbing all that pressure.
Don't do that. If the problem comes, try to replace the internal component asap.
One last piece of advice, don't charge and use the phone. Keep it quiet on a flat surface, like a table or chair.

I read somewhere so not sure of truths but.... the story said the problem was the fit being to loose and causing wear... The solution that the guy came up with was to put a small strip of cello tape carefully around the end of the USB c connector making the fit tighter... Seems like it could be a solution... I personally just keep changing the faulty bit.... The phones in a case so no need to professionally restick the back... Changing the part takes about five minutes

Hey there! OnePlus dash cable fits perfectly? Any issues so far?

I think there is no solution for this problem. I changed the usb-c board 5 times, the last one yesterday. I finally bought 5 more new, seemingly original boards from an Aliexpress seller, for about $ 16 in total. Here is the link to the article, for anyone interested:
