I have a problem with charging and i guess also USB connection.
When i plug in a usb cord to the phone i have to hold the cord upwards for the phone to recognize its there and start charging.
I guess the connector on the phone is somehow damaged but i cant see any damage to it.
Is there a quick solution for this or can I replace the connector?
Maybe you have torn off your mikrousb connector from the board. If you have good soldering skills, then you could try to disassemble the phone, and re-solder the connectors contacts. If you have no such skills, then better take it to a repair center to do it for you. I suggest not to charge your phone before you repair it, because you can damage the charging circiut, or force the charging socket to come loose, and damage the circuit board.

Thanks mate, I've got a good friend which is very skilled in soldering, i'll try to dissamble the phone and take it to him.
Is there any good dissamble guides for the HD2?

ok, the connector is broken.
I disassembled cover parts,
fixed connector,
I'm sure there is 5V inside (the connector inside I measure by voltagemeter) when I plug-in the external charger. The connector has 3 pins for GND and 3 pins for 5V and I'm sure there is volatage inside.
But the battery is not charging. O/S say the battery status as remained, but do to charge.
how to fix? what next to check?
crying:
You could check to see if the protection fuse has blown, if so you can bridge the circuit, if you search for charging or charge on the forum you will find pictures and methods.
the protection fuse just beside the battery? under small piece of white scotch tape?
fixed
thanks for suggestion.
yes, it was broken micro fuse, the one right beside the connector pins on motherboard.
Glad to be of assistance, hope its all ok now. 8)

Hi Jgui, could you tell me how you managed to repair borken connector at th bottom??
I search for a repair shop for my MDAII or th way to do it myself...
thanks a lot for your answer
I'm starting to have real problems with my USB plug. At first it would drop charger plugs when it was on the wall, so I put it upside down. But now I can't connect to the PC all the time either. I have to jiggle the plug a bit or even breathe down in it (the moist makes the connection better). Has anybody else had that problem and fixed it in any way? I suppose the plug is soldered on in such a way that it has to go to a workshop, right?
i strongly suggest you to send it for repair or resolder the base of the connection(this is user servicable provided you have some soldering skills) so it doesnt wiggle. i'd probly even suggest to hotglue the plug but before you do so make sure the plug is sitted properly and it does sync
the same thing happened to me and with a bit of jiggle the plug broke off and now its permenently damaged(ie it will never sync via USB again) so far with self repair i only manage to make it charge
i got no idea how to reattach a 10pin mini USB plug to my board and some of the copper tracks looks damaged which means if i send it to the shops, its a $500 repair and a board swap
when trying to charge phone usb connector on the phone just went insided and now dangling i can see it but cant charge the phone..any idea how to fix..?
OK i dismantle phone i find usb connector is broken from the board..i don't know if i solder again if it works or not?
dun solder as it will smerge the power connection together, only can hot air gun to it
Thanks Tabbe...ready to solder..but thank god u stopped me

Better ask your friend who has skill or take it to a mobile phone repair shop. They can efficiently do it without damaging further.
The USB connector on my Evo is now so loose that I can hear it bouncing around when I shake the phone. USB connection doesn't work at all, no charge or PC connection. I think the connector is detached from the PCB (assuming it was attached to the PCB to begin with).
Obviously I need to fix this thing. Any suggestions? I think I need a T5 screwdriver to open up the case. Don't know if I can reattach the connector w/ a soldering iron?
I'm really disappointed that this thing broke so fast. I don't recall mishandling it.
might be easier to just warranty or return it. can't you return for another one within 30 days. say you got a defective unit.
Yeah I can try the return / repair route but the phone is from Google I/O... I guess it's best to try though.
need help please people.
my phone hasnt been charging properly for a few days now, to get it charging now i have to get one of my missis hair bands and wrap it round my phone and then round the usb cable so it stays in , although today it doesnt want to charge at all now .
ive noticed that the connection in the phone is loose and you can move it round a litle bit,
now the bit i need help with , is do i take the phone apart and try to fix it.?. im thinking of doing this but unsure about taking phone apart ( dont think my phone is under warrenty anymore,) and im guessing the usb connection on the phone is fixed onto a board.
is it worth me trying that or should i just take it to a repair shop ?
take a dry toothbrush, give the usb port a good scrub. dirt often builds up in the bottom of the port and stops the usb plug pushing deep enough to get a good contact.
Have a good inspect of the usb port, bright light and magnifier is good, see if you can see buildup, or a bent connector, or somesuch.
Also look at the usb plug on the cable, its uncommon but not unknown for the metal outer enclosure to open slightly, and make for a weak contact.
Sometimes a cable simply doesn't fit well for no obvious reason, , i have a generic cheap ebay cable that will only work when angled up or down, like yours, but looks perfectly fine, and feels to fit the socket, while the HTC cable works perfectly, so i know its not the port.
If it all looks good, then chances are you have a dodgy connection from the usb port to the mainboard, which will get worse every time you wiggle and bend the cable to get it to work. In this case, you COULD try a repair, but there have been reports on here of some repair shops pronouncing it too fiddly to replace teh usb port, and a new mainboard would be the only other option.
edit - just reread your post and seen that you can wiggle the port. Broken solder, gotta be. Its not an easy solder, so if your a dab hand, then go for it, if not, see above.
Hi iainbp, heresandyboy had this same trouble in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903977 from post 16.
It looks tricky!
Just a thought though, I recently bought a cheap phone charger with multiple interchangeable heads for different phones. The microUSB one became difficult to charge with and it took me a while to realise that the metal bit at the end had detached from its plastic casing, and when I plugged it into the phone it just got pushed back into the casing. (got my money back)
Possible with yours?
